YetiChow wrote:In the beginning, Minecraft was a totally mind blowing concept, and it truly did change the way the world thinks about gaming. It's een being used for commercial/industrial purposes now - especially in design and engineering firms, where it's a fast way to make a rough design which looks good and can include some features.
However, it is being treated as just another game by most of it's players. There was, for a time, potential for Minecraft to become the next evolution in computing and gaming, however it missed its chance because everyone focussed on its use as a game instead of the groundbreaking design behind it. Having said that, it was designed as a game and Notch never intended it to be anything else.
The great thing about Towns is that, at least for the moment, nobody's treating it as "just a game". Sure, we all love playing it, but moreover we love the sheer possibilities it holds. This game could very well add new flavour to gaming as a whole with the unique concepts it adds, such as the Devs actually assisting modders and adding RPG elements to the RTS/citybuilding genre. Again, Towns is designed as a game, however if the concepts behind it can be applied to other games then we could see a major shake up in how games are made.
As Eric Doe said, Towns is "amazing work", not "an amazing game". There is still potential for Towns to be more than just a great game, and the major driving force behind what happens to it will come from the community. So rather than focussing on what we can do in the game, I for one am more excited about what we can do with the game.

The recent trend of changing logos into a commentary continues, but this one has expanded to a variety of brands instead of focusing only on websites.
The pictures are called "Honest Logos" by Viktor Hertz and can be found on his website for Designers Couch.
Hertz introduces the logos with a short blurb. "An idea for a series with honest logos, revealing the actual content of the company, what they really should be called. Some are cheap, some might be a bit funny, some will maybe be brilliant. I don't know," he says in summary of the collection.
What do you think of Hertz's "Honest Logos"? Do you find them cheap or brilliant? Which one is the most accurate, which one is the least?

Alumni Resources
The Alumni Relations Office encourages interaction among alumni, students, and Curtis.
Curtis would not be Curtis without you, our alumni. You are the most vital expression of Curtis in the world outside Philadelphia. Thank you for the music you make, the connections you keep alive, and the integrity you bring to your work, whether it is in music or another profession.
Nearly 200 alumni (13 percent) responded to the August 2012 alumni survey on benefits, programs, and giving. Here's what you told us. The information offers an ongoing guide for meaningful ways Curtis and alumni can connect.
Events and Networking
You value, most of all, events and networking. This is true of every generation. You like to be together, read about alumni gatherings, and see pictures of get-togethers.
Memorabilia interests you, especially those of you who graduated before 1982.
So, explore the memories. Our archives, programs, and recordings—the memories of your time at Curtis—are preserved in various media.
- Archive.org contains digital scans of recital programs (1924–57), admissions catalogs (1924–71), and Overtones magazine (1929-74): Select "Browse by date" for a list of the complete collection, then sample the offerings.
- We are creating a special online presence for exhibits and items of interest from the Curtis Archives. Watch your e-newsletter or the alumni Facebook page for a launch announcement.
- See a timeline of Curtis history in pictures.
- If you're in town, stop by the Graffman Common Room for an archival display of contemporary music at Curtis.
Benefits of Giving
In general, you like to waive benefits in return for your financial contribution to Curtis. Thank you!
Exception: Once in a while, you like to show your Curtis pride, even in your own kitchen with a Curtis-emblazoned item. And you want it to be of good quality. We hear you and will let you know what becomes available.
Use of Practice and Recording Facilities
You appreciate being able to use the Curtis practice rooms.
- Practicing: Alumni are welcome to practice at Curtis, subject to availability, whether you live nearby or are just in town for a day. Contact Paul Bryan, interim dean, for more information.
- Recording: Subject to availability, alumni may take advantage of our state-of-the-art recording facilities for audio or video use. Recording services are available at a special alumni discount. We don't charge alumni a space rental fee. Contact Nan Alderson, director of facilities operations, for more information.
Complimentary Tickets
You didn't ask for this, but we want you to have them anyway—complimentary tickets, when available, to our Curtis Symphony Orchestra, Curtis Opera Theatre, and Curtis On Tour performances. Please contract Trish Furman in Patron Services for availability.
- Alumni Annual Fund
- Alumni Council
- Alumni Directory
- Alumni E-mail

CRSP/Compustat Merged Database
This page is divided into the following sections:
Guides for Supported Versions CRSPAccess 2.97 and Earlier
NOTE: A Compustat cross-reference table is available that allows users to find new Xpressfeed item names based on legacy CST item numbers. Please see http://www.crsp.chicagobooth.edu/ documentation/product/ccm/cross/.
You can read the sections below online by clicking the HTML link. Alternately, click the PDF link to download that section as a printable document. Finally, you can see the entire Data section in one document by clicking here:
Download CRSP/Compustat Merged Data Guide in Adobe PDF format
Data Definitions This section describes the CRSP Link and Compustat variables and structures supported by the CRSP/Compustat Merged database. |
CRSP Link® This section explains the usage of CRSP Link, which allows you to accurately combine CRSP and Compustat data into a single source of clean, reliable data. |
The CRSPAccess software includes utilities that may be used to extract CRSP stock and index data from the CRSP proprietary databases on Linux and Solaris platforms. They also include files necessary for C and Fortran-95 programming for use on Windows platforms as well as Linux and Solaris.
The CRSPAccess utilities and programming files may be used to access the CRSP US 1925 and 1962 Stock and Stock with Index Databases.
CRSPAccess is made up of a number of tools used to accomplish four major categories of tasks: creating reports, searches and database inquiries, creating subsets, and moving databases and files across machine types. Documentation on these software categories is available individually below, or you can download the entire CRSP Utilities and Program Libraries Guide in one file.
Download the CRSP Utilities and Program Libraries Guide for CCM in Adboe PDF format
Reporting Tools
The reporting tools can extract time-series output, stock event data, and decile-level index data.
Data are accessed from the reporting tools through identifier keys. The primary identifier key, and the one the CRSP recommends for the CRSP Stock databases, is PERMNO, CRSP permanent security level identifier. Other identifier keys that may be used include PERMCO, CRSP's company level identifier, current and historical CUSIPs, Tickers, and SIC codes. INDNO, CRSP's index identifier, is used to access index data through ts_print and ind_print.
ts_print To extract time-series data over fixed or relative date ranges. |
stk_print To extract event histories including name and identifier changes, delisting information, and distributions, as well as time series data extractions. |
ind_print To extract indexes and decile-level returns, levels, counts, and weights data. |
ccm_print To extract link data between CRSP and Compustat company and security level identifiers as well as Compustat company, security, and index fundamental time series, segment, and reference data from database created from the Compustat Xpressfeed files. |
ccm_ref_print ccm_ref_print is an application for accessing non-security or company specific Compustat data. Data items include references to codes and numbers for footnotes, auditors, industry classifications, to name only a few, as well as economic indicator, currency, and exchange rate data. |
ts_print_cst To extract time-series data for stock and the legacy CST format CRSP/Compustat Merged Database. For information about ts_print_cst, see Chapter 3 of the Legacy CRSP/Compustat Merged Database Guide. |
cst_print To extract link data between CRSP security level and Compustat company level identifiers as well as Compustat fundamental time series data databases created in the legacy format. For information about ts_print_cst, see Chapter 5 of the Legacy CRSP/Compustat Merged Database Guide. |
Search and Inquiry Tools
CRSP provides header files for each CRSPAccess database. These name lists are useful for finding identifiers and name histories of securities when only partial information is known. The identifiers can then be used as input to other CRSP reporting utilities or programs. The files are fixed format text files and be accessed with system utilities or other tools. CRSP provides search utilities for header files.
dstksearch - To search the daily data header files |
mstksearch - To search the monthly data header files |
dindsearch - To search the daily index header files |
mindsearch - To search the monthly index header files |
cst_search - To search the CRSP/Compustat Merged Database (CCM) current header file |
ncst_search - To search the CRSP/Compustat Merged Database (CCM) historical header file |
crsp_show_db_info - To display parameters associated with a specific database |
crsp_set_db_info - To change parameters associated with a specific database |
Subsetting Tools
These utilities can be used to create copies of CRSP databases, restricted for example on the basis of exchange and share codes, or a select group of PERMNOs.
stk_partial - Creates a stock database from an existing one or to append securities from one existing database to another. |
ind_partial - Creates a subset CCM database or appends data to an existing one |
cst_partial - Creates a stock database from an existing one by subsetting data. |
crsp_stk_subset - Creates a stock database from an existing one by subsetting data. |
crsp_ind_subset - Creates an index database from an existing one by subsetting data |
Database File Tools
rewrite_crspdb - Copies a CRSPAccess database to a new directory or converts data from one binary type to another |
crsp_stk_scd_load - Creates secondary indexes or keys for a database |
crsp_cst_scd_load - Creates a header file with user-specified options |
crsp_stk_headall - Creates a header file with user-specified options |
crsp_ind_headall - Creates a header file for an index database, used primarily for a subset database |
crsp_cst_headall - Creates a header file for an index database, used primarily for a subset database |
crsp_crlf2lf - Removes carriage returns |
crsp_lf2crlf - Adds carriage returns |
crsp_cutc - Select columns from fixed-width text files can be written to an output file. |

I have always thought there would be a great market for reproduction posters at realistic and reasonable prices of the various promo releases from this much-loved (though not by all at the time it was released) 1950s Hitchcock classic, Dial M For Murder. Hitherto that hasn't been the case and the ones that were on the market were at silly prices. Until now.

I just realized that Curve Crush came out in 2003, so I've been using it for ten years. I think I'm on my fourth bottle of it. Sometimes when I wear something else I wish I'd worn Curve Crush instead! The scent seems to last a lot longer than 6-10 hours, it's more like 15, honestly. I absolutely love it.

Wyoming: The New Old West
Friday, August 19th, 2011People are few and far between in Wyoming. Those that do live here prize tradition, self-reliance, and their connection to the land. So when change comes to the high plains—an oil boom, a minister with new ideas—communities here are tested. And neighbors have to strike a balance between preserving their independent way of life, and learning to rely on one another. We trek to the small towns and remote ranches of Wyoming, meeting people as they adapt to the New Old West.
Tell us what you think about our Wyoming episode, The New Old West. Just comment below to get the conversation started.

Misto® Olive Oil Sprayer
Misto® is designed with the health-conscious cook in mind. It offers an easy way to add flavor, use less oil and reduce calories and fat. It is non-aerosol, so it promotes better health not only for you, but also for the environment. Simply add your favorite oil and spray on pasta, pizza, salads, veggies, and more.

Measures 7 3/4" H x 1 7/8" in diameter.
Misto® Olive Oil Sprayer
Good for a few years, then buy a new one
As someone else mentioned, it works great for a few years but then it gets clogged up and never mists again, just a dribbly stream. Misto wants $7 for a new pump so it's cheaper to buy a new one every few years.
May 2, 2013
Does what its supposed to, looks good doing it.
I read all the reviews I could find before getting this.
This is a fantastic little sprayer to have handy, especially if you know how to use it. I only fill mine halfway (don't go through it that fast anyway), and I twist the top to release pressure after each use.
It may seem redundant to know how to 'trick' your gadgets into working, but to me, if I have to do a little something something each time I use it to ensure it lasts longer than if I didn't.. I'm ok with that.
March 21, 2013
I Love It
I purchased two three years ago and use daily with different oils. I just purchased a third one to use with a new oil I'm trying. The main factor I love is the ability to evenly oil food without using too much or being able to lightly oil a pan to prevent sticking. No problems with the spray clogging. Can place in the dishwasher.
March 19, 2013
Had ours for years
We have had ours for years, and have never had one clog on us (maybe the person who put that in their review would do well to simply report a defective pump and receive a new one).
We've got one with canola oil and one with olive oil, and we will never again have to spend $3 on a bottle of Pam from the grocery store, much less spray unnecessary propellants on our food and toss more trash in a landfill.
What an excellent purchase. LOVE these.
The only reason for the four star review vs. five is that the top is plastic, not metal like the bottom, so it can scratch easily.

It looks like Google is gearing up for the Glass Explorer program, launching the MyGlass companion app and a new Glass setup page, both accessible to the general public.
The companion app relies on Google's now-signature "Card UI," and the listing's screenshots show off some of the app's functionality, though Google reminds us "if you don't have Glass, then downloading this will be a waste of time. Sorry about that." The description goes on to comfort readers, however: "But if you swipe the screenshots to the right, you'll see there's a picture of a puppy in pajamas. So not a total waste of time after all."
Of course, users can still install the app, though it (obviously) won't be able to complete Glass setup properly without an actual Glass unit.

Bollywood actress have done it for long, infact, sometimes its considered a short-cut to success in the film industry, however the same could not be said about the actresses of the small screen until now.
Television actresses of the small screen are embarking on an image makeover to ensure that they break out of their cocoon and elevate to the next level, i.e. Bollywood.

Matthew Brandt
Yossi Milo Gallery is pleased to announce Lakes, Trees and Honeybees, an exhibition of new photographs and prints by Matthew Brandt from his series Lakes and Reservoirs, Trees, Honeybees and Taste Tests in Color. The exhibition will open on Thursday, May 24, and will be on view through Saturday, June 30, with a reception for the artist on Thursday, May 24, from 6:00–8:00PM. This will be Matthew Brandt's first exhibition with the gallery and his first solo exhibition in New York. Matthew Brandt creates his prints using physical elements from the subject itself. Inspired by landscape photography of the American West – especially its correlation to the methods of printing and making images during photography's infancy in the mid-nineteenth century – the artist revives traditional photographic techniques through various production processes, including handmade papermaking and gum-bichromate.

Engaging Science in the Life of Your Congregation
With so many issues to discuss, Christians can easily get the feeling that science is always attacking the faith. It is essential to balance such conversations with positive responses to God's creation. After all, the primary response to the natural world in the Bible is to praise the God who made it.
A Scientific Commentary on Genesis 7:11
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
Where are the Transitional Fossils?
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
Series: The Human Fossil Record
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
Psalm for the January Thaw
God shows himself not just in the orderliness of nature, but powerfully, joyously and always surprisingly in its beautiful "non-order" as well.
Surprised by Jack, Part 3: Mere Depravity
"Man is now a horror to God and to himself and a creature ill-adapted to the universe not because God made him so but because he has made himself so by the abuse of his free will. To my mind this is the sole function of the doctrine [of the Fall]."—C.S. Lewis
Surveying George Murphy's Theology of the Cross
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
Frenetic Sequence
We tend to think of creativity in terms of flashes of insight and brilliance, of novelty, and especially of unexpected things bursting upon the scene. But creativity is no less creative and no less remarkable when it proceeds step by step, according to discipline, according to rule.
Series: From the Dust
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
Shaping the Human Soul, Part 5
We need to have an account of Sin in terms of habit. A lot of Christians today think of "sins" and discreet choices, but historically Christians have thought of Sin as a habitual tendency and disordering.
Science and the Bible: Theistic Evolution, Part 4
Scientist-theologians who write about TE also think about creation and theodicy in terms of divine "kenosis" and eschatology. So today we'll conclude our "implications" section by returning to creational theology, and then turn to the ways TEs re-think Adam and Eve in light of human evolution.
Stumble On
The song is built around the image of a river flowing through a canyon it has sculpted—an image that can easily be played out as a picture of the way that the Lord has been at work preparing a path for us in the material world, complete with signposts to his former and present activity.
Series: Biblical and Scientific Shortcomings of Flood Geology
Gregg Davidson and Ken Wolgemuth seek to remove the stumbling block of the Genesis flood in this four part series. Though many believe in an ancient world-wide flood, the evidence given does not hold up to geological scrutiny, but points rather to something regional instead. It is their hope that Christians will not walk away from faith in Christ simply because a global flood is not supported by science. Looking at natural phenomena like the Grand Canyon, salt beds, and fossil deposits, they reveal reasons for these deposits and structures while showing that their origin did not stem from a violent flood that covered the planet.
Hominids Lived Millions of Years Ago, but How Can We Tell? (Videocast)
This BioLogos videocast addresses the age of recently discovered hominid fossils and how scientists are able to obtain those dates.
Series: Beauty, Science and Theology
It doesn't take a scientist to appreciate the beauty with which God has arrayed his creation. But scientists do have the opportunity (and training) to appreciate different kinds of beauty than do most non-scientists, whether they are ordinarily "hidden" in the extremes of scale, the elegant processes of an experiment, or in the abstraction of mathematics. Indeed the appreciation of various kinds of beauty has always played a critical role in motivating scientists to investigate the world, and in helping them decipher its workings. In the three-part essay, Ruth Bancewicz explores some of the ways beauty, science and theology intertwine.
The Fossil Record
There are two opposite errors which need to be countered about the fossil record: 1) that it is so incomplete as to be of no value in interpreting patterns and trends in the history of life, and 2) that it is so good that we should expect a relatively complete record of the details of evolutionary transitions within all or most lineages.
The Heavenly Declaration
The universe that inspired the psalmist three thousand years ago grows grander as each new generation of astronomers adds yet another layer of understanding.
Wheat that Springeth Green
As we remember the narrative that takes us from Good Friday through Easter morning, the image of a buried grain of wheat invites us into the story rather than just describing what happens in it.
Jefferson's Bible and the Tears of Christ
Predictably, "Jesus Wept" did not make into the Jefferson Bible. John 11 was cut out entirely, falling onto the floor of his Monticello home and discarded, along with Martha's confession.
Series: Science as an Instrument of Worship
In this brief series (taken from a 2009 paper), Jennifer Wiseman uses an excerpt from the famous hymn "How Great Thou Art," to explain why the study of God's creation can lead Christ's followers into meaningful worship and overcome the obstacles which impede true praise. Creation as encountered through our senses is pondered by our minds, which flows into wonder-filled songs from the soul. She further explains how knowledge of creation will help Christians to address the moral dilemmas of science, and she encourages all to see the process of scientific inquiry as a means to discover God's truth.

Maren Hogan
BraveNewTalent Head of Marketing, US. Boot-wearer, World-Traveler, Cereal Eater, Serial Community Builder, & Awesome Sauce Con Carne.
Maren Hogan is interested in everything marketing but particularly in how it pertains to the acquisition and management of talent. (Okay, end the part where I write about myself in the third person). I love all things related to design, distribution and attraction. I've built three successful communities and served as acting CMO to multiple startups. I am currently the Head of Marketing, US for BraveNewTalent. I'm a wife of one, mother of three, sister of four, daughter of three and am passionate about too many things to list here. Among them? Writing, reading, singing, dancing, shopping, home renovation, and design of just about any ilk. California girl cum Midwestern transplant, I juggle a crazy start-up career, three boys, a German speaking husband and more ancillary projects than I can count! I lose iPhones.

BraveNewTalent, Head of Marketing, US
March 2011 to present
By focusing on what gives most value for employers and candidates, which is building talent communities, BraveNewTalent makes the concept of Talent Communities accessible and drives engagement by focusing on the RIGHT candidates instead of MORE candidates.
BraveNewTalent's flagship product, Talent Words™, drives targeted candidates to employers' profile pages from sources such as Facebook, Twitter, partner websites, societies, and more.
Employers have access to the professional profiles of talent who are interested in working for them, being able to engage, educate, segment, invite for events and ultimately recruit from their talent pool.
BraveNewTalent is being successfully utilised by blue chip employer brands such as leading international law firms Allen & Overy, Eversheds, and Pinsent Masons; the biotech company Abcam and the Europe's largest retailer Tesco
The ultimate objective of BraveNewTalent goes beyond changing the recruitment industry. We believe that the world's educational system no longer fits for purpose and there's a growing gap between universities and employers. The expectations of employers regarding the candidates' preparation to enter the work force, and the candidates' expectations towards their first professional experience are rarely met.
By connecting talent to employers in a meaningful and enriching way, BraveNewTalent ultimately exists to bridge this gap, helping to solve global employability problems. The company has already been working closely with the UK government over these issues, being named a "Technology Company of Exceptional Potential". -

Brave New Talent helps candidates by curating news about companies all in one place (open jobs, releases, videos, etc) thus allowing them to follow companies in their "career portfolio" in a simple, facebook integrated feed.

Reprise (10 Blu-ray Discs)
Archives ••••• Picture •••• Sound ••••• Extras ••••• |
"FUCK THE AUDIENCE." So says Neil Young in one of the Easter eggs on Archives Vol. 1. This blunt point - made at his Broken Arrow Ranch during a video shoot for the Archives back in (yes) February 1997 - is critical to understanding this long-gestating passion project. Especially key is what Neil says next: "If I'm going to survive, they're going to have to eat it."
The Canadian-born, California-entrenched singer/songwriter has followed his muse down any and every rabbit hole he desires, embracing all genres and styles with the commitment of an artist willing to express his creativity in whatever form he chooses. The message: Join me or don't; it doesn't matter. I'm still going. But far from being an exercise in esoteric navel-gazing, Archives is the Holy Grail - a fine reward for the patience, understanding, and loyalty of his followers, and a truly comprehensive chronicle of the first phase of his epic career. From the evidence on Vol. 1, it's a digital love letter to Neil Young fans, one that's wholly worth the wait in ways heretofore only imagined.
First, the facts. Vol. 1 is a 10-disc boxed set available on Blu-ray Disc and DVD - listed at $349 and $249, respectively, but selling for $299 and $199 at neilyoung.com. And as Young says in "A Message from Neil," which pops up after you click on the Archives skyline button at his site, "You will see that Blu-ray is what you want for the utmost in quality, variety, and versatility . . . Don't say I didn't tell you." I'll second all of that. Blu-ray is the only way you should experience this project. On BD, audio is ultra-high-resolution 192-kHz/24-bit PCM (mostly stereo), and video is 1,920 x 1,080 pixels. And yes, 5.1 fans, there is some surround sound to be found within; I'll get to that in much detail later. The set includes a card that allows you to download all of the music tracks as MP3s. An eight-disc CD set ($99) is available, too. (In any format, nearly every disc can be bought individually from neilyoung.com.)

When I was in 3rd grade I took tennis lessons because both of my sisters did. They liked it but I didn't. Not only was I really bad but I was also extremely competitive. I couldn't handle being worse at a sport than my sisters. So, I gave up tennis and played other sports. And now I really am the world's worst tennis player.
I hate it so much, in fact, that I can't even stand to watch it on television. Which is difficult because my whole family enjoys the sport. In honor of the French Open that took place this past weekend, as well as to inspire me to enjoy tennis more, I've decided to compile pictures of some of the greatest tennis players. In order to hold my interest, and yours, I searched for some of the most intense and strangest positions these impressive players could be in. I think I have a newfound love for this sport.

It feels a world apart, with its steep, flower splashed, medieval alleys and whitewashed buildings clinging haphazardly to the sides of the canyon. And yet the tiny, self-contained village of Chulilla is just an hour by car inland from Valancia. Chulilla is 322 meters above sea level, gazing out over the Turia River valley - there are precipitous views every way you look. The scenery is dramatic, with soaring red and ochre cliffs, and it is brilliant for bird watching, rock climbing, walking, hiking or biking. There are Shire horses, a thermal spa, several good restaurants and bars, and a castle. Stay at the Apartamentos La Muela (owned by the Mayor, Enrique) for a stunning view of the canyon from the top terrace – you will never want to leave. Go in early May for the ancient Enrama festival, organised by the young people. It's all about Spring and rising sap. The lads cut down branches from Black Poplars and strew them over the balconies of the girls they fancy. There is, of course, a procession of gorgeously dressed villagers and horses;lots of dancing and a human pyramid in the village square as the young people strain upwards balanced precariously to grab a ham suspended high above. Strangers are made very welcome.

LUMBERTON — Players, owners of video parlors, municipal officials and law enforcement officers are watching to see how the dice will land regarding the future of sweepstakes gambling in North Carolina after a statewide ban took effect Thursday.
How long the ban will last is a bad bet as parlors scramble to update their systems to bring them in line with the law. In Lumberton, signs are popping up on locked parlor doors advising customers that the businesses are temporarily closed, to look for "updates" and some even predict a reopening date.
The closings followed a state Supreme Court ruling on Dec 14 that the games are not protected as free speech under the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
For years, amusement machine companies, software developers, and firms that market long distance phone and Internet services have argued that the video sweepstakes do not constitute gambling because the prizewinners are predetermined and not a result of chance.
Law enforcement is taking a wait-and-see approach to enforcing the ban.
"We need to contact our prosecutors and see how they want us to investigate it and do the charges. We will know more soon," Robeson County Sheriff Kenneth Sealey said. "… One thing is for sure. If the legislature and Supreme Court say we must enforce it, then we have to enforce it to the fullest extent of the law."
Local municipalities, including several in Robeson County, stand to lose revenue generated from fees.
According to Linda Oxendine, the director of Public Services and Tax Collector for Lumberton, the city receives approximately $380,000 in yearly revenue from fees brought in by the 18 establishments currently offering sweepstakes gaming in the city. The city charges $5,000 for a privilege license for gaming, and an additional $2,500 for each machine.
Currently the city's fees are being challenged in court by several businesses that contend they are exorbitant.
Councilman Erich Hackney says the North Carolina Education Lottery is enough of a gamble for residents.
"I personally was never for the sweepstakes machines in respect to the gambling aspect," Hackney said. "It's not appropriate for a community with a lot of unemployed people."
Other municipalities have taken a different approach, lowering fees in an effort to create jobs and generate revenue.
Red Springs has approximately 50 consoles located throughout gaming centers, gas stations and in the backs of pawn shops. During the current fiscal year, the town has collected nearly $115,000 in fees for its General Fund.
Mac McKeithan owns Winner's Paradise in Red Springs, which has 18 machines. He said it cost him $60,000 to open up, a figure that includes fees and the purchase of equipment.
"At a minimum they should let us operate until our licenses expire," McKeithan said. "They don't have to reimburse me, just let me operate under the license I have and if they aren't going to do that, they should prorate a refund."
McKeithan said his business is similar to the education lottery.
"The players are upset," McKeithan said. "They believe they should be able to spend their money how they want to. They think it is no worse than scratch-off tickets or the lottery."
If the ban stands, it's estimated that more than 10,000 people will lose their jobs in a state with the fifth-highest unemployment rate in the country.
Hackney isn't sympathetic.
"Everybody that bought and installed those machines knew going into this that there was the possibility that the courts would rule these machines illegal," Hackney said. " … If they did not prepare, that would be their fault, not the city's, in respect to unemployment. You were only hired temporarily until there was a decision that this would be permanent. Every one of those employees should have known their positions were on borrowed time until the courts ruled."
Meanwhile, players are idled.
"People get peace of mind being away from home and work by playing," said Samona McKinley, 34, of Lumberton. "I feel like it should be up to the people who play to make the decision. They shouldn't make up our minds for us."
McKinley has a Plan B.
"If it stops here I'll travel to South Carolina, but I'd hate to do that," she said. "I'd have to travel more for the excitement. I'd rather give the money to my hometown."
Janice Thompson, 41, of Lumberton, said she has played the games for years as a means of recreation.
"It's right around the corner," Thompson said. "I don't get why they'd want to give my business to another state, but I'll go where I have to go to play.
"I play the education lottery, too. There's no difference. Your chances of winning are higher on the computer. It's your money, you should be able to play what you want. Anything can become addictive. That's a chance you take with anything."
Abbi Overfelt, the editor of The St. Pauls Review and The Red Springs Citizen, contributed to this story.

CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA -- Investigators are trying to determine why an Iowa driver collided with a Cedar Rapids police cruiser.
Cedar Rapids police say the crash happened around 1:40 a.m. Sunday after the other driver crossed the centerline.
The westbound driver struck the marked police car.
Both drivers were injured and taken to a hospital for treatment before being released.
Police have not released the identity of the other driver.
Investigators are waiting for toxicology test results to determine if the driver was intoxicated before deciding what charges to pursue.

Two 6-year-old boys were laid to rest Monday in the first of a long, almost unbearable procession of funerals. A total of 26 people were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary in one of the worst mass shootings in U.S history.
Classes resume Tuesday for Newtown schools except those at Sandy Hook. At Newtown High School, students in sweatshirts and jackets, many wearing headphones, waved at or snapped photos of the assembled media horde on their way into the building. Reuniting with friends and getting back to school were welcome tasks, said one sophomore.
"It's definitely better than just sitting at home watching the news," said Tate Schwab, 15.
At home, his family, who moved to Newtown just last year, was distraught over the news. His mother cried over his 3-year-old sister, who would have eventually attended Sandy Hook, he said.
At school, he didn't expect to get much work done Tuesday but rather anticipated most of the day would be spent talking about the shooting.

The Skinner Scholarship Fund was established by the 1877 will of James H. Skinner as a means of supporting students at the University of Virginia who intend to pursue lay or ordained ministry in the Episcopal Church. Scholarships are awarded to both undergraduate and graduate students enrolled full-time at the University. Recipients are expected to be involved in a significant ministry while enrolled in the University of Virginia
The Skinner Scholarship funds are in an endowment administered by the university. The amount available each year varies with market conditions. Scholarships in the past have ranged up to $25,000. In addition to the Skinner Scholarships a Resident Skinner Fellowship is awarded to the graduate student chosen to provide leadership at Canterbury House.
Students who receive the Skinner Scholarship are asked to commit to the following:
- Participation in the Vocation Study Group which meets several times a semester and is a special opportunity to discuss God's calling in our lives.
- Involvement in parish life at St. Paul's or another Episcopal church, through regular attendance at worship and service to the parish.
- Taking responsibility for some aspect of lay ministry, in St. Paul's community, another church community, or the broader Charlottesville community.
The scholarship aims to provide resources to allow those committed to service to invest significant time in personal spiritual development and ministry to others; to make available additional time offset from working a part-time job to cover school expenses.
Born in 1826 James H. Skinner graduated from UVA in the class of 1846. He became a prominent lawyer in Staunton and served in the Virginia Legislature. At the start of the Civil War he became a captain in the 52nd Virginia Infantry Regiment. Promoted to lieutenant colonel and then colonel of the regiment, Skinner suffered wounds at Second Manassas, Gettysburg, and Spotsylvania. He lost an eye in the latter engagement but resumed his law practice after the war, and lived until 1898.
In his will Mr. Skinner set up a scholarship fund to be administered by UVA, a fund dedicated to the support of "persons who purpose to become Ministers of the Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America." The terms of the will are now interpreted to include lay as well as ordained ministers in the Episcopal Church.
The application has four primary components:
- General applicant information
- Enrollment & financial aid status
- Academic information
- Essays on ministry and commitments
The first three sections will take only a few moments to complete. However, the essays take more thought. We recommend you prepare them ahead of time and paste the text in the provided form; each essay should be approximately 500 words. The essay questions are:
1) On Ministry
The scholarship fund's purpose is to support students who intend to pursue lay or ordained ministry. In this essay, tell us what you think about ministry generally—lay and/or ordained—and how you understand the place of ministry in your life now and in the future. (In the second essay, you'll be asked to talk about your specific plans for service at the University while receiving this scholarship.)
2) On Ministry Commitments
Students who receive the Skinner Scholarship are asked to commit to the following:The scholarship provides resources to allow those committed to service to invest significant time in personal spiritual development and ministry to others rather than in working to cover school expenses. Being as specific as you can, tell us how you intend to invest this time in ministry and spiritual development, and affirm your commitment to being a vibrant part of Episcopal parish life.
- Participation with other Skinner scholars in group activities, including several meetings each semester to discuss vocation, God's calling in our lives.
- Involvement in parish life at St. Paul's or another Episcopal church, through regular attendance at worship and service to the parish.
- Taking responsibility for some specific form of lay ministry, whether at St. Paul's or elsewhere.
Graduate Student Support
Review Process
The Rector of St. Paul's Memorial Church appoints a committee to review all applications and make award recommendations to the Rector. The Rector nominates potential recipients to the Associate Director of Student Financial Services. In recommending applicants and awarding scholarships, the committee, the Rector of St. Paul's, and the University of Virginia do not discriminate on the basis of gender, race, sexual orientation or disability. Awards are made for one academic year. Previous recipients are welcome to submit an application for another year of funding.
How to Apply
Applications are due from current students April 1st. The deadline for incoming first year students is April 15. Applications are accepted through our online application system available at this link.

I know Lost in Space was licensed for 1:6 figures, including Mumy. Don't know if that would impact smaller figures.
Bugler, sound the advance.
^^^Yeah Trendmasters/Playing Mantis did release a classic LIS Will Robinson in 1997 coinciding with the movie. I don't even think they're in business anymore.
I don't understand this. They gave the likeness rights to some characters but not to others? Ultimately the actors likenesses reside with their estates/next of kin. They couldn't make the 5 Characters in Search of an Exit? One of them was a clown. Can't they just make a generic head and paint it with the same makeup? Is anyone really going to call them on not have the true actors likeness of the guy under the clown makeup? I scratch my head at the intricacies of licensing.

"The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow...How did it come to this?"
It could be something to do with an area we haven't thought of yet too. As examples there might be something specific to author rights for particular episodes, though they hardly paid the writers, so I'm sure they signed those rights over as for hire work as well - I suppose it depends on how all the contracts are/were drawn. It may also be a license issue with a similar property - as has been suggested. It seems unlikely that a broad number of actor's likenesses would be contested by separate estates all at the same time - though the Rod figure sounds like the likeliest candidate for that. I know Lugosi is notoriously difficult to license because of his family's estate.
Clearly I know nothing about the straight dope and I'm talking in generalities here, and BBP! has already stated they can't go further into specifics than the blanket statement that their working relationship with everyone is solid and it's not an actor or CBS issue... Which, devil's advocate, is exactly what they'd be required to say to keep relationships solid if there were a license issue somewhere in there. So who can say?
It is common though to have approval yanked once given on items, and I suppose that too is dependent on the conditions of the contract. I would normally say it sounds like CBS may have difficulty committing - but the character choices are weird ones to sandbag.
And actor likeness rights don't always reside with the actors or estates - look at Star Wars. Harrison very famously has never received a dime from merchandising, and Lucas is free to use his likeness in perpetuity for whatever he wants because that's how the contracts were made. I mean George could make Han Solo blow up bachelorette dolls and printed toilet paper and HF couldn't really say anything about it.

^^^I think Lucasfilm can make Han Solo merchandise using Harrison Ford's likeness *as Han Solo in any of the 3 SW films*. His resemblance is probably limited to costumes and hairstyles from those 3 films, (I would think). Actual photos that they merchandise could be limited to promo shots in costume or stills from the films. That might not seem like a limitation but is is.
"The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow...How did it come to this?"

Dry no more?: Oak Park leaders want to start granting tavern licenses to sell beer and wine
OAK PARK — Though the city has banned the sale of alcohol by the glass for decades, city officials are getting ready to explain to residents why they want to grant tavern licenses to allow the sale of beer and wine to spur business development.
"We're not talking about having nightclubs and strip clubs," said City Manager Erik Tungate. "The tavern licenses, if approved by City Council, would be for restaurants with strict oversight."
Oak Park is the largest dry city in the state.
Tungate, along with the public safety director and some City Council members, is scheduled to address the issue at a town hall meeting 7 p.m. March 21 at the city Community Center, 14300 Oak Park Blvd. A second town hall meeting is being planned for next month.
"I want people to understand what we are talking about," Tungate said. "Many people are mixing up Class C liquor licenses with tavern licenses."
Class C liquor licenses allow for sales of all types of alcohol, including liquor, by the glass. The City Charter banned such licenses in 1945. The only way to overturn that ban is with a citywide vote. Several such proposals have been rejected by city voters over the years, most recently in 2005. The owners of the Sahara restaurant, however, are collecting petition signatures to get another proposal on the ballot this year.
Meantime, the City Council is mulling whether to grant tavern licenses to restaurants that meet certain requirements. Tavern licenses can be granted with a council vote rather than a citywide referendum.
Tungate said Oak Park's ban on all alcohol sales is driving away restaurants that might consider opening here. The city's dry policy also is making it more difficult for Oak Park restaurants to compete with other eateries in surrounding communities where alcohol is allowed.
"If our businesses succeed, then Oak Park succeeds," Tungate said.
But in a city that has been dry for nearly seven decades, some residents have concerns about allowing any alcohol sales. Continued...
"We want to address those concerns at the upcoming town hall meeting," Mayor Marian McClellan said.
One of the most frequent objections is that sales of beer and wine will lead to more crime for the Public Safety Department to deal with, McClellan said.
Public Safety Director Steven Cooper has already spoken on that issue before the city Planning Commission and is set to address it again at the upcoming town hall meeting.
"He told the Planning Commission he did not see (tavern licenses) as a crime issue in Oak Park," McClellan said.
If the City Council ultimately approves issuing tavern licenses, Tungate said the city will impose strict requirements before granting any licenses.
Tavern license applicants would have to be located 500 feet or more away from any school or religious institution, have at least 51 percent of business dedicated to serving food, and have seating for at least 50 patrons, Tungate said.
"There will be a whole checklist of land-use requirements," he said. "I'd say only about five to 10 restaurants in the city would be able to meet the requirements."

Region foes put aside their rivalries in Columbia, S.C., on March 9, as the basketball All-Stars from the Georgia Independent School Association tipped it up against the All-Stars from the South Carolina Independent School Association.
The Georgia squad of 12 girls was selected from schools from both the A and AA divisions of GISA. Representing Region 4AA, were guards Larissa Bishop (Arlington Christian School), Hannalee Flynn (Flint River Academy), and power forward/center Ana Anderson (Arlington Christian School).
Hannalee Flynn was a tri-captain and All-Region selection for the FRA Lady Cats this season and helped guide them to a school best 24-6 record on the season and Elite 8 appearance in the state playoffs.
The players met for two days of practice at Augusta Preparatory School in Augusta, Georgia, and then traveled to Columbia, South Carolina, where they squared off against their South Carolinian counterparts. The GISA All-Stars proved to be too much for the South Carolina All-Stars with a 74-51 final score for the game.
When asked about both the game and her all-star experience, FRA guard Hannalee Flynn stated, "Playing in the All-Star game was forever a memorable experience for me. I met many talented athletes and got to play the game I love the most for the last time in my high school career. I met a great group of girls from all across the state and created memories that will last a lifetime."
