So did "Around the World" play the Michael Todd theater or his Cinestage? I thought it played the Michael Todd with the waterfall curtain. Was it the same size of todays IMAX screens?
So very true…..The nuns & priests always told us to stay away from the dangers of the Alex theater. They thought it would endanger our young minds for the worse. Just like our parents when they were told Mae West was the devil and all of her films should be avoided, they flocked to them and thought she was fabulous….
Tinseltoes, your Boxoffice magazine is such a joy to read. Thanks.
If you did and the Alex was still there, I highly recommend a bullet proof suit just to get into the Alex, once in, the best of luck to you getting out. Hard to believe this area of Chicago was once a thriving shopping area and a family friendly section. Crawford & Madison was the place to go for fun & food & shopping.
Anita, What wonderful stories you tell! I hated to finish. I can feel your passion because I was there too. Your stories are excellent and I can hardly wait for more. Many many thanks…….
I wonder why the Paradise did not make it as a music venure. They had such grand plans(like the King's have). Maybe there is just so much money to go around for entertainment. I wonder if this is the same church that wanted to buy the Portage Theater in Chicago and was turned down. They also have the old Loew's in Brookyln. I believe it was the Metropolitan.
I couldn't agree more !!! I am more hopeful for the return of the beautiful Uptown in Chicago, another Rapp & Rapp treasure.
HURRAH HURRAH !!! Thanks Matt
The fact that the RKO Keith's is still standing today is truely amazing to me. After all the years and all the drama, this grand lady refuses to give up…..
Thanks Life's Too Short for link. I hope the Portage makes it. Wonderful programing!
Loew's Kings mighty wurlitizer is sitting in an Oklahoma warehouse. It is waiting for its new/old home..According to its former owner, not one thing has been done to the Kings as of November 2012.
Tinseltoes, you and your boxoffice magazine are the best!!! A light comedy for "ANNE FRANK" WOW!! I can't see it as a comedy…..First time in Palace was for Liza in a tribute show to her father and the "WILL ROGERS FOLLIES" which was a perfect show for that wonderful vaudville theater…
The Fox must have had a larger stage then the King's and was used much more often which in turn created $$$$$. Probably if more thought was given, Loew's would have only built the Paradise in the Bronx since they had the Met and other screens in Brookyln. Maybe ACE looked at the profits of the newly re-opened Paradise and had second thoughts especially after the Barclays debut. But not to mention the Kings in that article about Brooklyn in the dailynews leads me to believe it never did very well profitwise.
Amazing !! Not even the words "Loew's Kings" mentioned past or present.. I am afraid Scott might be right..
I believe Tinseltoes is right. The oringal people involved were Lowell Thomas, Mike Todd, and the inventor of this process and the money people (could have been Warner's). When they mentioned the Broadway Theater I thought the Warners on Broadway. It was not. Warners was not on Broadway. Hence the Broadway is where it opened. I wonder why Leow's was late coming on board? Since they controlled a majority of movie houses in NY.
Was the Capitol Theater called Loew's Cinerama in the 50's. I saw a bio of Cinerama recently and they mentioned the Warner theater was where it was first shown and played two years "This is Cinerama"? A theater called LOEW'S CINERAMA was also mentioned in Ny as showing this process.
It will be interesting to see what she says this week during her show at the Barclays concerning her days visiting the Loew's Kings.
True. Parking is free after 9pm where there is a paybox. What is insane is they have to be fed on Sunday. No wonder so many vacant storefronts on city streets. Why pay when suburbs are so easily gotten too. Sorry Rahm, this should have been overturned.
Enjoyed your essay so much Anita… We could be relatives! I was there when Jack & Bobby were downtown and what a day that was. The sun hitting JFK's head and I remember how handsome he was. When I started to go downtown the streetcars were still running. I loved when they pulled up to the Marbro for I could lean over and read the marquee. I always sat on the left side to do this. Such excitement for a west side kid. You are a very very good writer Anita.
This is just like the serials that I am sure played at this theater in the 1930's Saturday after Saturday always with"to be continued" theme. Finacing problems seems to be the problem in many start-up projects, especially entertainment venues. This "poor theater" has gone through so much in the last 30 years.
Is this theater still standing? Or has the wrecking ball begun to swing?
Also she mentioned how wonderful the ice cream treats were at the Kings. Many flavors and generous portions. How great would it be if she did a first night benfit for continued preservation of this glorious movie palace!
That is a great thought Tinseltoes. I also wonder if she will request a tour of her "old haunt".
I too will shut up and just be patient!
On the other hand, Jam Productions here in Chicago have everything ready to start on the Uptown Theater. Parking, traffic flow,alcohol license,design teams(the seats on the main floor will be removed for a dance floor).What is NOT in place is the $70 million funds which they predict will happen next year with an opening date in 2015. They would never have bought the building to let it sit for years and had plenty of time to "iron out" the details. Its not that we are pessimists, but is there even a sign outside the Kings announcing the project? Does Ace actually own the building and have title?

When you configure multiple Exchange accounts in
Outlook 2010 and attempt to delete the first Exchange account, you'll receive
the following error:
The primary account cannot be removed unless it is
the only account in the profile. You must remove all other Exchange accounts
before removing the primary account.
Setting one of the other accounts the be

Exchange accounts from the profile as the first Exchange account is considered
the primary account and has to be removed last.Although not

Export the profile keys then remove
one (or all) of the registry keys related to primary account. There are a number
of keys for each account, but only 1 or 2 need to be removed, which lessens the
chance of corrupting the profile. After some trial and error (and a few corrupt
profiles), I discovered which key needs to be deleted, however the key varies
with each profile. Fortunately, the name values within it don't change.

Do you need to know what day of the year today is or how many days are left
until the end of the year? Although Outlook doesn't display these numbers, it's
very easy to create a file counting the days using Excel and import it into your
calendar. You can create a file with the Subject, Date, and a Category
using Excel's fill series feature then save it as a CSV to Import into Outlook's
Calendar. While a category is not required, it makes it easy to filter the
events. Using this method, you can import the events to any calendar.
You can use a HOL file to distribute all day events. In the CSV, use only the
Subject and Date fields then change the extension to HOL. Users can double click
on the HOL to open the Add Holidays dialog and add the dates to the default
calendar. When you use this method the events will be added to the Holiday category.
We have a sample HOL file at
Note: when you create a HOL file, you'll need
to change the line above the dates to a "location" and the number of items in
the "location" group, in " [location]366 " format. (The location name can be
anything you like. )

Feds tender contract for transporting deceased with suspected disease
TORONTO – Who would have suspected that the federal government is in the mortuary business? Or at least the mortuary transportation business.
The Public Health Agency of Canada is seeking bids from funeral services companies for transporting the bodies of people suspected of having died from Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, a rare but always fatal affliction that is contagious with certain types of exposure.
In its online tender notice, the agency says the successful bidder would be required to collect bodies from hospitals, long-term care facilities and residences throughout Canada and transport them "by ground, air or rail" to pathologists for brain autopsies to test for Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, or CJD.
The number of cadavers to be transported varies but could reach 60 or more per year, the notice says. Services would include returning the post-autopsy remains to a funeral services provider "in keeping with the needs of the deceased person's family."
This isn't the first time Health Canada has contracted out transportation services for cadavers with suspected CJD; the program is part of PHAC's Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease Surveillance System, which has long been tracking the incidence of CJD and other human "prion" diseases in Canada.
Prion diseases, also known as transmissible spongiform encephalopathies, are rare, progressive neurodegenerative disorders that affect both humans and animals. Prions are infectious agents that cause abnormal folding of specific proteins found most abundantly in the brain. These misfolded proteins cause progressive, irreversible brain damage.
In animals, prion diseases include scrapie in goats and sheep, and bovine spongiform encephalopathy – or mad cow disease – in cattle.
Dr. Neil Cashman, a world-renowned expert in prion diseases at the University of British Columbia, said Canada has had two confirmed cases of what's known as variant CJD, the human version of mad cow disease. Both occurred in immigrants to Canada likely exposed to the disease in their home countries, the U.K. and Saudi Arabia, through BSE-contaminated cattle products.
"The bulk of CJD in Canada and around the world is due to other causes," Cashman said from Vancouver. "Most of it is sporadic; it comes out of the blue for reasons we don't understand. Some of it is familial, due to a mutation in the prion protein gene, but it's about 90 per cent sporadic here and everywhere else.
"It's a spontaneously arising infectious disease, so the people who have CJD can transmit it through brain surgery or other very specialized modes of transmission, but they didn't catch it from anyone or anything," he said, explaining that most people who develop symptoms of the disease are in their 60s or 70s.
With classic CJD, such symptoms as depression, abnormal vision and balance problems eventually lead to dementia and an inability to move or speak, followed by death. While CJD can have an unusually long incubation period – even up to 50 years – death typically occurs within one to two years from onset of symptoms.
When CJD is the suspected cause of death, the person's remains are transported to designated pathologists in each province, who perform an autopsy and remove the brain for testing to confirm the diagnosis, said Michael Coulthart, director of the PHAC surveillance program.
Between 1997 and 2012, there were 1,294 suspected cases of CJD in Canada. The tracking system has recorded 589 deaths from confirmed and probable cases of CJD, of which 540 were classified as sporadic.
There are typically 40 to 50 suspected cases of classic CJD a year in Canada, although 60 were reported in 2012, said Coulthart, noting that incidence appears to be gradually rising, possibly in part because of the aging population.
Pathologists must wear protective gear while performing an autopsy – due to exposure to brain and spinal-cord tissue where the infectious prions reside – and embalming isn't recommended because of a small risk of transmission.
However, the risk of contracting CJD by anyone transporting a body "is nil," said Cashman. "It's the same as somebody who has CJD in a hospital. They're not transmitting the disease from bed-to-bed contact. Even intimate contact is not something that transmits disease.
"There is a huge fear out there from funeral directors about doing anything with CJD, but this has no basis in fact for transport," he said.
"And there are lots of cases of funeral directors refusing to accept people who've died of presumed CJD. This is a huge torment to families, so if all the t's are crossed and i's are dotted in a contract to transport this completely safe cadaver, then that will help expedite the system," he said of the PHAC program.
Phil Fredette, a spokesman for the Funeral Service Association of Canada, said he has never heard of a funeral home refusing to handle the care of a deceased person with suspected CJD.
"We typically use universal precautions to begin with when it comes to any decedent, which we should because we don't always know if there's a communicable disease with a certain person or not," Fredette said of staff wearing gloves, gowns and masks.
"Creutzfeldt-Jakob has been around for many, many years," said Fredette, the manager of a Saskatoon funeral home. "We've all been aware of it … There's no more fear of that than any other communicable disease."
Coulthart agreed that the notion of fear being an impediment "is a bit of an overstatement. I think people are rightfully concerned about handling the remains of anyone who has died of potentially transmissible diseases," he said, adding that the risks of prion diseases are often poorly understood among people who work in mortuary services.
"And a lot of stories seem to be circulated about how strange and dangerous prion infectivity is. In fact, there are some particular features that need to be recognized of the prion, and that is that its … proteins of infectivity (can be) very resistant to inactivation" by most conventional methods.
"But there's no particular risk recognized for handling an intact body."
Since the surveillance program began in 1998, Toronto-based funeral services provider MacKinnon and Bowes has transported the remains of Canadians who died of suspected CJD – the only company to bid on the contract – which is now up for renewal and posted as part of federal transparency policy.
It may be that the company, which has worked with the military repatriating the remains of fallen soldiers, will again be the only bidder, Coulthart said.
He is not surprised at the paucity of bids, as requirements are stringent: companies must be able to transport cadavers in communities across the country, do so in a timely manner and with staff who can provide services in both English and French.
In the end, the goal of the program is not only to track cases of classic CJD, but also any variant cases that might arise.
"What we do is provide a kind of assurance that careful monitoring is being done on the possibility that Canadians have acquired variant CJD from exposure to Canadian beef," Coulthart said. "And that, of course, has turned out not to be the case, and we believe it is not likely to be the case.
"So not seeing it is a very important result."

Process Improvement and how it relates to process mapping
This tool is a list of Microsoft products that I've used to map processes for myself, and for clients. I tend to be cheap when it comes to buying technology, so I've played around with some of the free trials for the expensive ones. If it's not clear in the tool, I recommend Visio if you are willing to spend a little money (I'm not getting any payment for that), but you can easily do what this course teaches with MSWord and a little patience.
This document shows the same process drawn in three different methods. I created it in Visio first because I find that allows me to think about the process rather than the format. In Shapes or SmartArt, I have to give more consideration to the tool than the process.

Whether or not we like it, we all have to market ourselves and our businesses. Fortunately, we have a wealth of lessons we can learn from the marketing geniuses who have provided us with a variety of techniques that can help you find new clients and transform them into loyal repeat customers.
- Have the people making it, use it. Walt Disney, perhaps the greatest marketing genius of all time, demonstrated the effectiveness of this practice in Disney World. Both corporate and park employees rode every ride over and over until they fine tuned every detail – even down to the simulated fireflies in the Pirates of the Caribbean ride. If your team experiences your services as a customer, they'll have greater insight into what customers want.
- Multi-level marketing. Mary Kay Ash gave the world much more than just pink Cadillacs. She also gave us the model for successful marketing based on direct sales to friends and family and valuable rewards for achievement and recruitment. She painted the glass ceiling pink and turned it into a stepping stone to the next level.
- Design matters. Steve Jobs didn't create the only technology for accomplishing tasks; he created the coolest technology for accomplishing tasks. Never underestimate the appeal of sleek, snazzy packaging coupled with ease of use.
- The huge promise. Tim Ferriss taught us that consumers will snap up products even if they know that the unrealistic claims about them aren't entirely possible. Get rich by working 4 hours a week. Get fit by exercising four hours a month. We know it aint' gonna happen, but we buy it anyway, and we may still reap rewards – even if they're not exactly what was promised. Ferriss showed us that it's okay to aim for the stars and settle for hitting the moon.
- Never stop testing. David Ogilvy is the father of modern advertising and an early proponent of split testing. His method of testing – creating two postcards in a direct mailing campaign and tracking each card's success – provides the perfect model for ensuring that your large advertising campaigns yield results.
- Be the best at one thing. Michael Phelps is the poster boy for singleminded dedication and the astonishing results it can yield. Focus on your strengths and your passion, and your results will surprise you.
- Word of mouth matters. Conrad Gessner is our representative from the wayback files for this example. Gessner was a sixteenth century botanist who penned a poem about tulips that contributed to the European craze for the flowers, ultimately resulting in people with more money than sense who were willing to part with astronomical sums of money ($1M in today's equivalent) for a single tulip bulb. Make it desirable, and people will want to purchase it.
- Be remarkable. Seth Godin has spent his career being different. He's proven that a purple cow (his term for a remarkable product) is the key to standing out in a crowded marketplace. He's also shown that it's possible to generate revenue while still giving back to his community.
I'm a big fan of learning from the best. These marketing mavens can teach you volumes.

You need a valid driver's license with you at the time of rental. You will also need a time telling devise and you need some type of protective eye covering.
Yes, as long as they have presented a valid drivers license to the counter person at Silver Lake Buggy Rentals prior to leaving for the sand dunes. All valid drivers will be issued wrist bands. If you do not have a wrist band, you may not drive. The person who rented the buggy and signed the contract will be liable no matter who is driving.
Yes you can - as long as it is nonalcoholic. We recommend a soft drink or water with a re-closable top.
The off road vehicle area is approximately 450 acres. It is well marked around the perimeter and the exit is at the South East corner of the area. One can travel in the buggy from the farthest point on the north to the exit in less then 15 minutes if you take a direct route. Just keep Lake Michigan to your right and you will get to the exit area with no problem.
You will need to have a watch or cell phone with the time on it with you. You will be told what time your buggy is due back when you are ready to leave the staging area.
Most people get stuck at least once. These buggies have safety limits and, depending on the sand conditions the day of your rental as well as your driving experience in the sand, you may not be able to climb all of the hills. This is not a carnival ride and, as the driver, it is your responsibility to operate the vehicle within its abilities. If you get stuck, turn the car off, get out, unbury the wheels, turn it around and go in a different direction. People on the dunes are very helpful and, if you need help, most people will be happy to assist in any way they can.
To rent a buggy you must be 18 and to drive a buggy you must be 16 with a valid driver's license. To rent or drive a Kawasaki Teryx you must be 21 years of age with a valid driver's license.
They can achieve a top speed of 35 MPH. However, you must remember to drive at a speed that is safe for the driving situation. The speed has been slightly lowered to reduce the control issues our customers were having. The roll over issues have all but disappeared with the slower speeds. We realize faster is more fun but we are interested in the safety of our customers and their families. The Teryx gets speeds up to 50 mph and because of that we have a 15 minute instructional period in your time out on the dunes to help you drive the vehicle safely and properly. The drivers of the Teryx must be 21 years of age. The age was raised to 21 after we had two incidents of 18 year olds rolling the vehicles.
Yes, absolutely. Also, if you drive through the water, you will get wet and, if you drive on a lot of hills, you will get bounced around. Pregnant women should not drive or ride in the dune buggies.
Nobody sets out to damage a dune buggy, but accidents do happen. The renter is responsible for all damages to the buggy, passengers, and other persons or vehicles involved in any accidents. Any remaining rental time plus the $750 damage deposit will be forfeited in the event of an accident. If the damages incurred are in excess of the $750 damage deposit, the balance will be charged as well.
While very difficult, it is possible. Flipping a buggy is a result of reckless driving. You will lose your security deposit. You may get injured. You will most likely be issued a reckless driving ticket by the DNR.
Yes. These buggies are very safe. They are built with a low center of gravity so they are not tippy and the passengers are in a 4 point harness inside a complete roll cage. They are the safest type of vehicle on the dunes.
Children can ride in dune buggies but they need to be at least 4 years of age. We can no longer install child safety seats in the buggies. Children 1 year or older may ride in the Teryx's. Forward facing child safety seats can be installed in that vehicle. Every child MUST have their own seat and seat belt. The safety seat must be supplied and installed by the parents.
They can be. The sand dunes are the busiest in July and the first three weeks in August. The three holidays are very busy. If you visit during those times there will be a lot of traffic on the sand dunes.
We must pay for the cost of an operating lease with the State of Michigan to use the ORV area. The snowmobile rentals do not have to do this. The insurance requirements of the lease agreement are staggering. Then the maintenance costs for maintaining the equipment to run on sand day in and day out are astronomical. Even the IRS audited us due to our maintenance costs and ended up agreeing that they were all valid. The maintenance costs do not come out of the damage deposits. The only charges on the damage deposit are driver error expenses such as driving the vehicle into deep water and causing damage to engines, air filters, etc. or hitting something in the ORV area such a tree, vehicle or driftwood.
Please let us know if you have more questions by contacting us by any of the means listed on our "Contact Us" page, located HERE. Thank you.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the new Material Source Approval Process, in a nutshell?
- The new Material Source Approval Process has changed as of 2009. The old process was based on PROJECTS. The new process is based on LOCATIONS. The purpose of the new process is to streamline the review process, in response to feedback from stakeholders involved in the process.
1) Check the NDDOT Material Source Certificate of Approval Website to see if the location you intend to use has been issued a Certificate of Approval (COA). If a COA has been issued, the Applicant shall print and submit the COA to the Project Engineer. The Project Engineer will make it part of the project record. Material Source Locations that are included in the plans or bidders proposal do not need to be reprinted at the time of construction. All conditions listed on a COA must be followed.
2) If the location has not been approved, submit SFN 58466: NDDOT Material Source Approval Request Form, along with a map to firstname.lastname@example.com. If there are any issues with a location that requires further coordination with State or Federal Agencies, the NDDOT Environmental and Transportation Services Division staff will contact the applicant. After the source has been approved, a COA will be published on the NDDOT Material Source Certificate of Approval Website. The Applicant shall print and submit the COA to the Project Engineer. The Project Engineer will make it part of the Project Record.
- Why does the Department require the completion of the Material Source Approval Process?
- The Department is required to comply with all Federal and State laws and regulations which govern the protection of wetlands protected under the Clean Water Act and Executive Order 11990, threatened and endangered species protected under the Endangered Species Act, and Section 4(f) properties protected under Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act. In addition, the Department must comply with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA).
- Federal law, such as the Endangered Species Act, requires that the potential of any activity performed in conjunction with a transportation project be evaluated before initiating such activity. Material sources are considered part of the Federal undertaking for transportation projects in North Dakota. Material sources include rip-rap and material from commercial sources, and any other area of planned ground disturbing activities, such as staging area(s), plant site(s), stockpile area(s), waste site(s) and haul road(s).
- The Department is also required by a condition in the Section 404 permits issued by the United States Army Corps or Engineers (USACE), to provide the locations of all material sources to be utilized for each phase of construction, along with documentation of cultural and endangered species clearance for each site, prior to use.
- Is SFN 58466 Material Source Approval Request available on the web page?
- Yes, SFN 58466: NDDOT Material Source Approval Request Form is available on the webpage.
- What type of map should be included with the Material Source Approval Request Form?
- United States Geologic Survey Topographic Maps (quad maps) and/or aerial images are preferred. The maps should clearly identify the location to be used and published at a scale greater than 1:10,000 but less than 1:24,000. Please include the Township, Range, and Section on the map and verify that it reflects the legal description provided on the Material Source Approval Request Form. Maps are preferred in color; however black and white maps will be accepted, provided the site is clearly identifiable. Please do not fax requests. Most maps that are sent via fax are not legible and will result in a delay. The clarity and definition of the map reduces potential delays, including but not limited to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Easement coordination and additional cultural reviews.
- Does the Contractor have to submit every pit for Material Source Approval?
- The Contractor must present the Project Engineer with a valid (current year) COA for each contractor optioned area to be used on a NDDOT project. If a COA posted on the web does not reflect the current year, contact the Environmental and Transportations Services Division. COAs are available on the NDDOT Material Source Certificate of Approval Website. If a COA is not available for the source, the contractor must submit SFN 58466: NDDOT Material Source Approval Request Form. Be sure to attach a map showing the boundary of the area you intended to be used. Every location that is used on a project must have a COA.
- When is USFWS Coordination required?
- For projects located on property encumbered by a USFWS easement, the contractor must coordinate with the USFWS Wetland Management District Office and landowner regarding any terms and conditions before using material from the material source identified on the Certificate of Approval. Notice of the coordination requirement is provided in the Conditions field of the Certificate of Approval. Seasonal limitations may apply.
- Does the NDDOT conduct field surveys on contractor optioned material sources with the USFWS?
- No, the contractor works directly with the USFWS and the landowner.
- Why does the entire process take 30 days to complete?
- The Department must coordinate with Federal and State agencies on the proposed clearance. In some cases we need to work with out-of-state records. It may take less than or more than 30 days to complete, but on average it can take 30 days to complete the Material Source Approval Process. Seasonal limitation may apply.
- What is the Project Engineers responsibility in this process?
- The Project Engineer is responsible for ensuring that all contractor optioned areas have been issued a COA prior to utilizing the site and enforce all site conditions listed on the COA. In addition, Project Engineer will make the COA part of the project record for each material source used on a project. Material Source Locations that are included in the plans or bidders proposal do not need to be reprinted at the time of construction but conditions listed on the COA must be followed.
- What should the Project Engineer do when the Contractor notifies him of a sighting or discovery?
- The Project Engineer shall contact the Environmental Services Section Leader (Sheri Lares 701-328-2188) or Cultural Resource Services Section Leader (Robert Christensen 701-328-4539), Program Manager (Chad Orn 701-328-4587), or the Environmental and Transportation Service Division Director (Mark Gaydos 701-328-4417) to begin consultation with the resource and regulatory agencies.
- Why should the Project Engineer report the sighting or discovery immediately upon being notified by the Contractor?
- Federal and State laws require reporting certain types of discoveries within 24 hours. Depending on what you discover, and the location, the Department may be required to consult with law enforcement, tribes, the State Historic Preservation Officer, and the Advisory Council. The quicker the dirscorvery is reported consultation can begin and the quicker work may resume on the project.
- The same holds true with threatened and endangered species; the Project Engineer must notify the Environmental Section immediately. The Department needs to notify the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service within 24 hours of a sighting. The quicker the sighting is reported, consultation can begin and the quicker work may resume on the project.
- Why cant work continue on the project, away from the area where an endangered or threatened species is sited?
- Construction noise and activity can disturb the species, therefore until the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service observes the species and physical surroundings, no work can continue.

Outdoor retailer Cabela's has agreed to pay nearly $10.4 million and reform its credit card practices as part of a settlement with federal regulators.
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation announced the agreement with Cabela's Worlds Foremost Bank unit on Tuesday. Cabela's will pay $10.1 million in restitution and pay a $250,000 fine. But the company, based in Sidney, Nebraska, did not admit wrongdoing.
The settlement is more than the $8 million Cabela's officials estimated last month but still less than their initial estimated liability of $18 million.
Cabela's agreed to eliminate improper fees it charged some customers for late payments and exceeding credit limits. It will also change the way it handles penalty interest rates, collection practices and notices to customers.

The Brightness Cubelet has an analog photocell that responds to varying light conditions and detects the amount of light hitting it's sensor. Expect values near zero in a dark room, and values near one when the sensor is in front of a bright light.
Cubelets are magnetic blocks that can be snapped together to make an endless variety of robots. You can build robots that drive around on a tabletop, respond to light, sound, and temperature, and have surprisingly lifelike behavior. But instead of programming that behavior, you snap the cubelets together and watch the behavior emerge like with a flock of birds or a swarm of bees.
Note: Cubelets require a special battery and charger. You will need to purchase the charger separately.

|Brief Summary
|To estimate probabilities of death by cause for a representative United States population, according to age, sex, race, occupation, industry, income, education, residence, country of birth, calendar year, and a number of other demographic and epidemiologic factors. The representative population is derived from selected Bureau of the Census files and is matched to the National Death Index maintained by the National Center for Health Statistics. The Bureau of the Census provides the data processing, coding and management necessary to complete this objective.
|Detailed Description
The current National Longitudinal Mortality Study began in 1983 with agreements with the Census Bureau which prepared baseline files from surveys representative of the United States and with the National Center for Health Statistics which prepared the National Death Index identifying deaths in the baseline populations. The baseline population of over one million persons has been matched to the NDI on several occasions, resulting in approximately 100,000 deaths occurring in 1979 to 1989. Using available data, an analysis was conducted relating socio-economic characteristics to subsequent mortality.
The NLMS is a national study of mortality over time among selected Census Bureau population samples numbering about 2.4 million. The census samples are matched to the National Death Index (NDI) maintained by the National Center for Health Statistics. The NDI is a file of all U.S. deaths since 1979 and is used to determine which individuals in the Current Population Surveys (CPS) have died. The samples are matched every other year to obtain deaths among these cohorts. Death certificates are then purchased from the states and coded for causes of death and other data. Mortality rates by age, sex, race, national origin, occupation, industry, income, education, state of residence and other factors are then obtained. The follow-up period begins with 1979, the first year covered by the NDI and ends with 1998. The total number of deaths for these cohorts is estimated to be about 250,000.
Census samples in the NLMS are being matched to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) medicare database. Hospitalization, physician, outpatient, and other CMS data will be incorporated into the NLMS database for all participants meeting the Medicare age eligibility criteria. The study continues through December, 2009.

How important is it for a manager to rest his players?
Imagine a world without weekends. No days off at the end of a long string of days doing whatever it is you do to gather your thoughts and rest. (Or at least do a different kind of work. The lawn doesn't cut itself, after all.) The weekend is nice, because even if you aren't "doing anything," you still get a reprieve from your job or classes or whatever you do the rest of the week. But imagine that the weekend was taken away. You just became a professional baseball player.

Even as the transaction wire snakes its way through Election Day and Thanksgiving, the winter meetings and Christmas, and as the trees go bare and the ticker tape turns to litter, 2012 will always belong to the San Francisco Giants -- the same underestimated Giants who two years ago claimed the throne and shed both their tears and their not-good-enough-to-be-great identity by winning the World Series for the first time in the city's history.
While the world was talking this spring, summer and fall about the Strasburg Dilemma and Cabrera, Verlander and Beltran, the Giants again turned the World Series into their own personal intrasquad game.
This year's title was historically different than the one in 2010 -- this one a budding mandate more than a teary, generational cherished accomplishment -- but it was no less satisfying for the 3.37 million fans who pushed through the turnstiles at AT&T Park and the millions more who watched this first year of a new playoff format produce an old champion, a team that has been around since 1883.
What is past is prologue. A century ago, in 1911, the New York Giants began a run of eight World Series appearances over a 14-year span. Today, with a ballpark that soon will be paid off, stable management, superb young battery talent, an increasingly winning culture and the overwrought superlatives that come with it -- already the Giants are being discussed as, ahem, a dynasty -- San Francisco is set up financially to be in the contending conversation for years.
So much of what occurred in October will be savored as the hot stove warms. The Giants finished the postseason with a seven-game win streak, tossing four shutouts while yielding a total of seven runs in that stretch. Just to reach the Series, they won six elimination games, outscoring the Reds in the last three National League Division Series games and the defending champion Cardinals (who as late as Game 4 of the NL Championship Series had been anointed the toughest postseason out in years) in the last three NLCS games by a total of 36-9.
Once they arrived in the World Series, the Giants outclassed Detroit. The Tigers led for all of two innings -- the fourth and fifth innings of Game 4 -- and finished the season by striking out in seven of their final 10 at-bats. The last, Miguel Cabrera's look at Sergio Romo's strike three to seal the title for San Francisco, will be remembered forever by the die-hards in the hipster joints near the Giants' ballpark in China Basin like Paragon, in the old-school bars like the Double Play Tavern in Potrero Hill across from old Seals Stadium and in the neighborhood blue-collar spots like Tommy's Mexican Restaurant in the outer Richmond District, where a Giants shrine sits behind the bar, surrounded, of course, by tequila.
In their past two World Series appearances, the Giants have played nine games, won eight and trailed for just 12 of 82 total innings.
A revived Giants franchise returns the NL to its title roots of McGraw and Stoneham and Feeney, all of which is good for the game. What proved baffling during the postseason, however, is baseball's seeming indifference (or intransigence) to the slow death of its signature asset. The World Series brand feels to be on life support, and the commissioner's office looks more and more like one of its Kevorkians. The Giants won in front of the smallest television audience in World Series history; just 12 million viewers watched them defeat Justin Verlander in Game 1, and the sweep averaged 12.75 million viewers. By contrast, 62 million fans watched the Red Sox defeat the Reds in Game 1 of the 1975 Series, and that was a day game.
After four games, the returns were grim. Hardly anybody watches the World Series anymore.
Across the Bay Bridge, in Oakland, the justification for this season's extra round of playoffs grew evident each day during a boisterous and terrific September, as the A's pressured and finally broke the two-time defending American League champion Texas Rangers while soaring to 94 wins and an unexpected division title. The A's embodied the framers' visions of the new "play-in" one-game wild-card format, which sought to protect the integrity of the regular season by keeping prospective division winners from mailing in September to set up their pitching rotations for the playoffs.
It was an unassailable success, for neither the Atlanta Braves (winners of 94 games and closer to the Washington Nationals' 98 wins than the Cardinals' 88) nor the Rangers (winners of 93) -- both losers of baseball's first play-in games -- appeared to feel as though they'd actually made the playoffs. While it seemed gimmicky, the play-in format is actually a poison game no one wants to go near. The message, as Ron Washington and Nolan Ryan and Jon Daniels now know, is abundantly clear: Win your division or, after 162 games over six months, risk going home in nine innings.
If the long-term goal, however, is for baseball to showcase its greatest teams playing its most important games under the best conditions, the sport has failed miserably. With the possible exception of the NBA, which takes two bloated months of playoffs to crown a champion and grinds good players into sawdust in the process, no sport treats its championship worse than baseball -- a stunning thought considering no title in American sport owns more historical relevance or reverence. The weather is typically late October-, early November-horrible, and soon a day will come when a Rockies-Twins or Red Sox-Reds World Series is destroyed due to the weather again, as 2008's Phillies-Rays Series was. After 200 exhibition, regular-season and playoff games (plus, next year, the World Baseball Classic, which will push the World Series near the start of the second week of November again), the national fan base is fatigued, the players more so.
On the field, before the Giants commenced mopping up, theories abounded as to why the Series is no longer as compelling as it once was. It is true that while the venerable Giants, Red Sox, Yankees, Cardinals and White Sox all have won world championships in this new century, the Series themselves have been clunkers more often than not. Since 2004, seven of the nine World Series have been sweeps or five-gamers.
The competition in the sports marketplace today is more ruthless than ever. College and professional football broadcasts now appear nightly from Thursday through Monday, putting September and October baseball in constant, head-to-head competition with football. Once, the NFL would not compete with the World Series. Today, the national appetite for football -- encouraged by even the broadcast networks that are business partners with baseball during the regular season -- is devouring the game.
A big part of the problem is the playoffs themselves. Baseball is not football or basketball or hockey, in which an elongated postseason can follow an elongated regular season and the implications of these tectonic shifts might (or should, considering what the Giants accomplished over the past few years) affect how teams are built. To win a World Series now requires an offense to be consistent for nearly a month, which is nearly impossible. The big, bashing teams such as the Tigers and Rangers and Yankees all suffered multiple months during the season when team batting averages fluctuated more than 18 points over a 30-day period. In a monthlong tournament, offense, where the big contracts are usually applied, is highly overrated. Better to pitch and catch, steal and create. For all the boom of the long ball, the Giants won the World Series after hitting the fewest home runs in the major leagues this season.
After 162 games, a monthlong postseason is exhausting. The fatigue factor is too high; by the end of the regular season and three earlier playoff rounds, the World Series opener no longer feels like a showcase event -- after nearly 200 baseball games, it's just another day at the park. The Giants and Tigers didn't even put up the bunting for the World Series this year.
Baseball has chosen a new road, closer to March Madness than the Fall Classic, devolving from a postseason that once produced the two best teams over the course of 162 games into a battle of the two hottest teams. San Francisco's comeback over St. Louis prevented (for the moment) the first World Series between sub-90-win teams. As it was, the Giants and Tigers "showcased" the teams with the fourth- and eighth-best records, respectively. The last time the top team in each league met in the World Series was 1999, when the Yankees swept the Braves.
Combined with the weather, which was atrocious in Detroit -- it was 42 degrees when Romo froze Cabrera for the championship out -- baseball has sacrificed its most important games for money.
What is past is prologue.
To understand baseball at all, and make reasonable demands of it, the fan must bear in mind that baseball is show business. Their protestations notwithstanding, the owners measure the Good of the Game in terms of the profits they receive after their expenses are subtracted from receipts. Everything else is subordinated, including the quality of what takes place on the playing field. The proprietors of baseball have never hesitated to adulterate the game to make an extra dollar. Exhibit A is the profitably extended season of 162 games, plus pre-season exhibitions, plus in-season exhibitions, plus intraleague championship playoffs, plus a World Series that has become a travesty because the men are utterly exhausted before it starts.
-- Curt Flood, "The Way It Is," 1971.
The opportunities for remedy -- playing fewer regular-season games or shortening the season by adding twi-night doubleheaders, and keeping baseball from playing in raw and terrible conditions -- have been rejected by baseball because owners don't want to give back any money to improve the quality of the World Series experience. The sport will push toward the radical -- neutral-site World Series played in the good weather of Arizona or Las Vegas -- before it ever cuts back on the season. Baseball laments the length of games and continues to pressure players into moving faster, while at the same time it allows the networks to add more and more commercials to the broadcast.
One year into the new playoff format, baseball already appears to be at a crossroads. The game is not bankrupt. It still makes money, but money isn't everything. Pornography makes money, and so do mixed martial arts and Justin Bieber. That doesn't mean any of the three is necessarily good for the world.
Still, none of these boardroom concerns diminish what the Giants did on the field. They provided the latest lesson that we should never underestimate a team or an athlete who has something to prove. San Francisco's championship will always be remembered for the heavily motivated, from Barry Zito (left off the 2010 World Series roster but now the winner of two of the most critical games in the 2012 run), to Pablo Sandoval (overweight and benched but now the Series MVP), to Tim Lincecum (a former Cy Young winner who became indispensable in the bullpen), to Marco Scutaro (bathing in the downpour of the NLCS Game 7 win, the role player as championship catalyst).
Before Game 2 of the Series at AT&T Park, a Giants fan walked down Third Street to the stadium wearing a Giants T-shirt with "ZITO 126" on the back. (Zito signed a staggering seven-year, $126 million deal with San Francisco as a free agent following the 2006 season.) The shirt's message simultaneously captured both the hero worship and resentments of the fan. It was Zito, his team facing elimination down three games to one in St. Louis, who pitched the game of his life and started the seven-game winning streak that ended with him again holding a World Series trophy.
This time, it certainly contained greater meaning for him. Vindicated on the field, where it counts, he had earned his money.

This week has been so much fun! We are finishing up our fall break at school and Jonah and I have been hanging out together all week. The other day we visited the Indianapolis Children's Museum and came home and baked some cupcakes. To celebrate fall, I wanted to make them festive and fun so I created some candy acorns that I saw on Pinterest a long time ago.
It all starts with the cake. I purchased a simple yellow cake mix and doctored it up to make the cupcakes taste like Snickerdoodle cookies. Busy moms need shortcuts, and I seem to be the queen of finding them! All I did was add 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract to the batter.
The cupcakes turned out smelling like fall!
I picked up the new Cool Whip Frosting in Vanilla. This new frosting is light and fluffy just like Cool Whip topping and makes an excellent frosting. You can find it in the freezer section right next to the regular Cool Whip.
My son took a nap while the cupcake were cooling, so I made a small batch of royal icing and put together the acorns.
Constructing the acorns is a very simple 3 step process. First, apply royal icing to the bottom of a Hershey's Kiss. Next, top it with a mini wafer. Finally, dip a mini chocolate chip into the royal icing and place on top of the wafer.
There you have it! Easy fall acorns to decorate your cakes and cupcakes.
As soon as the cupcakes were cool, I frosted and sprinkled the top. I don't like a lot of frosting on my cupcakes so there was enough in that little tub of frosting to cover all 24 of my cupcakes. If you are one who like a lot of frosting, you may want to get two containers.
The finished product! My little guy woke up and took a taste test!
He loved them!

Scenic Regional Library has recently added two new research databases — ChiltonLibrary and Mango Languages.
ChiltonLibrary provides quick online access for the "do-it-yourselfer" for repair, maintenance, and service information on thousands of domestic and imported models of cars and light trucks back to 1940.
The database is easy to use regardless of an individual's skill level. It provides step-by-step instructions and detailed information that a "do-it-yourselfer" will need to complete any repair, including videos, animated graphics, close-up photographs, and illustrations. Library patrons can also find diagnostic trouble codes, recall notices, wiring diagrams, troubleshooting guides, and other resources in the database.
ChiltonLibrary replaced AllData, which Scenic Regional offered to its patrons for several years.
"In the past, AllData was a superior product to ChiltonLibrary," said Scenic Regional Director Steve Campbell. "ChiltonLibrary has improved significantly. The only information that ChiltonLibrary doesn't provide that they can find in AllData are estimates of how long a repair will take and what a repair will cost. However, there are websites like AutoMD at automd.com that provide that information for free."
Unlike printed books, the information in ChiltonLibrary is updated on a monthly basis, ensuring the most current and up-to-date information available.
"The biggest drawback to AllData is that it can only be accessed from inside the library. ChiltonLibrary can be accessed by our patrons from home, too. Plus, it's literally half the price, so it was an easy decision," Campbell said. "With the money we saved, we were able to add Mango Languages."
Mango Languages is an interactive online language learning system that teaches conversation skills for real-life situations. Through fun and engaging lessons, the database makes learning a new language fast and easy. Library users listen to actual conversations, sound out new words, and compare their pronunciation to that of native speakers. Mango focuses on practical skills, so users can start speaking after just one lesson. Courses include cultural insights so library users will understand the country's customs and etiquette, too.
Mango Languages provides instruction in 45 foreign languages and 15 English as a Second Language (ESL) courses taught in a user's native language. These languages include Spanish, French, Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, German, Mandarin Chinese, Greek, and Italian.
According to Campbell, there aren't many quality options available for public libraries in the area of online foreign language instruction.
"When Rosetta Stone stopped providing access to public libraries several years ago, there wasn't really a comparable product on the market to replace it," he said. "Finally, Mango Languages arrived on the scene a few years ago. We're happy to be able to offer this great database to our patrons."
Anyone with a valid Scenic Regional Library card can access these databases 24/7 from anywhere with an Internet connection. Library users who need assistance accessing any Scenic Regional online database can contact their local branch.

Science in Christian Perspective
Letter to the Editor
Even More on Battson and Clark
David C. Bossard
117 Storrs Hill Road
Lebanon, NH 03766
From: PSCF 47 (March 1995): 66-67.
As a mathematician trained in probability (and also a Creationist!) I am somewhat bemused by the discussions on stasis and lack of transitional fossils, most recently exemplified by Battson's article in the December, 1994 issue of Perspectives. My perplexment (!) is that these facts seem to be put forth as somehow arguing against naturalistic evolution. In my own view, these features of living matter are what one would expect and are in themselves largely irrelevant to the argument.
The head picture that I form when I think of evolution is a vast N-dimensional space pockmarked with many sloughs reaching out, so to speak, to ensnare the hapless wanderer (or blind watchmaker). In quantum physics, these sloughs would be called potential wells. To oversimplify things for the purpose of illustration, the plot of a one dimensional slice through this space might appear as a graph with many narrow peaks of varying height separating valleys of varying depth and breadth. Let's say that the x-axis of this graph is DNA configurations and the y-axis is transition probability. (Let's be naive for now and not ask, "Transition to what?" In a realistic model, this probability would be an infinite vector with an entry for every possible target configuration.) A valley would represent the DNA variations corresponding to a particular species.
In this oversimplified picture, to say that a given species exhibits stasis means either that the transition probability (vector magnitude) is extremely low (so that the DNA has a high probability of faithful replication) or that the species valley is surrounded by very high walls so that most transitions to the "slopes" will tumble back in to the valley (Yes, I am mixing metaphors here, but when a mathematician pictures N-dimensional space, all constraints are off!). To say that there are few examples of transitional species means that the species are surrounded by peaks of high transition probability, so that if a DNA configuration on such a peak or slope occurs it will rapidly slip into a neighboring valley, leaving little residual trace. The improbable event is that the traveler will claw its way up the slope and down into the neighboring valley (a transition between species). Along the way there will be few stopping-off points to leave residue of the campfire.
Incidentally, once the traveler has arrived in the new valley, his descendants will tend to diversify within the confines of that valley. Thus one could expect to see the inversion that Battson cites; major changes followed by lesser changesóphyla first, then classes, then orders. One would not expect to see the fossil record creep gradually from one phylum or class to another by innumerable transitional changes. Personally I see this expectation of gradualism the result of a historical accident of science: that mathematics, the language of science, blossomed by contemplating continuous phenomena rather than discontinuous. Note that Darwin's day was long before the realization that the world of physics is not one of continuous but of discontinuous change.
Things are, of course, much more complex than implied in my simple head picture, and involve vast dimensions, but this is the essence of how I see the issue of stasis, lack of transitional forms, and the "inversion" of the fossil record. To expect transitional forms is somewhat like expecting to find intermediate states between elementary particles in physics.
The issue as I see it is not the lack of transitional forms or the remarkable stability of the species or the inversion of the fossil record (I would expect all of these!), but the probability of transition between DNA configurations, and the viability (attainment of both self-sustaining and reproductive ability) of these configurations. The naturalistic evolutionists would argue that these are sufficiently high to account for the diversity of species that we see.
With the amazing advances in the understanding of the genetic code, and of the various mechanisms that support and propagate life, scientists in principle possess the tools to investigate these probabilities. The problem is that to date, no plausible mechanism have been discovered that would provide sufficiently high transition probabilities that would account for a viable path between significantly different species within the (severe!) time constraints since the big bang. And this leaves aside the issue of forming the first life from non-living material.

LAHORE, July 31: Lahore police added two more 'trophies' to its credit early on Wednesday when it shot dead two alleged criminals in yet another 'shootout', this time in K-Block of the Defence Housing Authority.
Police claimed that two other suspects managed to escape amid heavy gunfire. This was the third police encounter in the last four days, raising the criminals' death count to 10.
Earlier, South Cantonment police and Khana Crimes Investigation Agency police had gunned down three and five criminals, respectively, in what was claimed to be retaliatory fire.
Defence B police were alerted by Defence A police through wireless in small hours that a car (LWJ-543) stolen by unidentified people from DHA's Y-Block was passing through the limits of the former.
Earlier, Defence A patrolling police began chasing the suspected car on an emergency call reporting the vehicle theft.
On being alerted, the Defence B patrolling police set up pickets on different roads.
A team first signaled the suspected car in Phase-V, but the occupants opened fire on police vehicle and sped towards Doongi Ground. Two bullets hit the vehicle, the police said.
The police began chasing the suspects and a shootout took place in K-Block, resulting in killing of two of the suspects while as many others managed to escape while firing at the police.
Police seized two weapons and bullets, besides the stolen car, and shifted the bodies to the Mayo Hospital's morgue for autopsy. The dead outlaws appeared to be in their early 30s and 20s.
Police identified one of the suspects as Adnan of Bhatta Chowk who was allegedly involved in a number of robbery and theft incidents, including vehicle theft.
