Last Night's TV: Misbehaving Mums to Be/BBC3
The Animal's Guide to Britain/BBC2
The Kennedys/History
Friday 15 April 2011
It's been a good hour since I watched Misbehaving Mums to Be and I'm still not quite sure how I feel. A bit... icky? Halfway between concerned and shame-faced? The former, because the facts presented really were alarming, the latter because, well, there's something terribly uncomfortable about poking one's nose into someone else's pregnancy. And then judging them on it. Still, it was riveting. Now, this might have something to do with the absence of a Y-chromosome in my makeup, but pregnancy – as far as I'm concerned – always is.
Twenty per cent of pregnant women smoke, we were told, which seems rather a lot, doesn't it? Even more so when you consider that only twenty per cent of women, on average, smoke. But it's true. I even called up Ash, the anti-smoking group, to ask and – what do you know? – they agree. One in five, and a full 68 per cent of pregnant teens. So there you go.
Anyway, one of them is Heather, who's 22 and expecting her second child. She puffed away throughout her first pregnancy and doesn't see why she should stop for this one, which, I suppose, is some sort of logic. It all changed, though, after a meeting with midwife Lisa, who specialises in getting expectant mothers off the fags. Lisa left Heather with no illusions as to her habit's effects, explaining how it stunts growth and showing her babies in intensive care. Heather was in floods, vowing to quit within five days. She didn't. Instead, she went walkabout, refusing to be filmed any longer.
It was a more successful story with our other two MMTB. Largely because they're not all that M in the first place. Juliet is a workaholic bar owner who, in her non-pregnant life, would have gone through four bottles of wine a day. Now she's sticking to one glass of red on a Sunday, which doesn't exactly warrant the little baby-necking-a-bottle-of-lager logo that flashes up whenever she's onscreen. Still, her midwife, Alison, wasn't too happy, and told her to get off the Sunday sauce immediately (hang on, wasn't there some study that a little bit of wine was good for the foetus?). Kayley, meanwhile, is a 16- stone fan of chips and gravy. She eats her favourite dish several days a week, the rest of the time living off frozen meals. Initial confusion over what constitutes a healthy meal ("Are you going to cook a gourmet four-star meal when you get in from work?" she asked friends, incredulously) rapidly melted away when she met her midwife. Before you knew it she was buying broccoli and doing squats.
Somewhere along the line, presumably to compensate for the lack of misbehaviour, Juliet's non-existent booze problem got conflated with a stress problem and so, instead of nursing her through hangovers, Alison spent most of her time trying to get Juliet to go to yoga. I'm with Juliet on this one: she found it impossible to get through a class without giggling, and can't heed Alison's call to work less because, well, she needs the money. But this is TV, and so a compromise was reached. Alison won't go to yoga, but she will host regular coffee and cupcake mornings. Which, well, never hurt anybody.
Chris Packham wants to find out how animals see Britain. In truth, that's not what really happened in The Animal's Guide to Britain. Aside from a brief reconstruction of a vole being chased around his burrow by assorted predators, there was little in the way of in-their-(metaphorical)-shoes insights. This is not, necessarily, a bad thing, because what we did get – a look at five freshwater creatures on their way back from extinction – was rather lovely.
There was the osprey, which a balaclava-clad Packham ("You won't have seen this on the catwalk this season") got to watch fishing in the Scottish highlands. And there was the dragonfly – "a triumph of evolution," with his compound eyes, unchanged for thousands of years. There was the water vole and the trout and – far and away my favourite – the beaver. Each one had been awarded some significance that led, eventually, to their extinction.
For instance: dragonflies were thought by medieval Englanders to be evil – so evil that they were in cahoots with snakes, which they could awake from the dead. Osprey eggs were treasured collectables among the Victorians. And the beaver was hailed for its testicles, which were believed to have pain-killing properties (they also flood land to build dams, which may or may not account for more widespread antagonism towards the poor, toothy things). Now conservationists are doing their best to reintroduce these species to Britain, be that by building fake nests complete with pretend birds in them (the osprey) or by culling the predatory mink (the voles). It's all rather sweet, and also rather fascinating, for the trivia if not the animal's guide.
A word on last night's instalment of The Kennedys. OK, so I know I rubbished it the first time around (apart, that is, from the wonderful Tom Wilkinson). And I stand by that. The hefty clump-clump of the mini-series format is horribly outdated and Katie Holmes really is abysmal as Jackie.
But – quite a big but – in spite of all the flaws, I've found myself returning. I've now watched the whole second episode – plus several more – on DVD, and I've every intention of continuing. Somehow, I've been sucked in.

A two-and-a-half-year-old Berlin-based Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) start-up you never heard of called ProfitBricks thinks it can take on Amazon Web Services and win.
By its lights the likes of Amazon, Rackspace, Savvis and GoGrid are all first-generation and it's not.
It claims to have completely re-engineered cloud computing and went GA with its widgetry in the US on Monday. The stuff's reportedly been running in Europe for six months and has amassed 70,000 servers.
It says it's first to offer live vertical scaling of CPU cores and RAM without forcing the user to reboot the server.
Nobody has been able to add resources to an instance (a virtual machine) without taking the server down before, it says.
That means the infrastructure can be tweaked on-the-fly.
ProfitBricks is also offering larger instances than other IaaS players. Users don't have to squeeze into pre-selected server sizes established to increase SPs' margins anymore.
With ProfitBricks a single instance can have one to a database-loving 48 cores and one to 196 gigs of RAM, a lot bigger than Amazon's one to 16 virtual cores and one to 60GB of RAM.
Its widgetry scales horizontally so users don't have to rewrite software or overprovision - the typical if pricey way of protecting oneself from having to reboot.
And all its cores are dedicated, not shared, relieving users of the risk and overhead of multi-tenant co-location and dedicated hosting solutions.
It claims to have better performance than AWS with 227% higher UnixBench scores and 194% faster I/O than Rackspace.
It also claims better pricing and charges by the minute, which would particularly appeal to folks whose web traffic is spiky. Pricing is based on only four parameters. It says there are no hidden or additional fees for things beyond control or measurability for the customer, e.g., I/O access.
ProfitBricks has a virtualized network - basically your newfangled software-defined networking - built on InfiniBand that customers can use to replicate whatever they can do locally including patch panels and switches in its cloud.
It says with up to eight ports per server, connection speeds 8x faster than Ethernet, and free back-end network connections, customers can build any network configurations they want. They don't have to adapt to their service provider. They have, it says, "complete network freedom in the cloud."
ProfitBricks also has a Data Center Designer (DCD) GUI.
Users can drag-and-drop resource like a Visio diagram to design, provision and deploy a cloud environment. It makes managing and scaling the thing a lot easier. People can kiss those God awful spreadsheets they currently use good-bye.
The widgetry can also be used to build private clouds.
ProfitBricks CEO Achim Weiss said, "We deconstructed cloud infrastructure down to its most basic elements and discovered there was a far better way to deliver the service. We ended up reinventing the architecture, which allows us to offer substantially better performance and a new level of flexibility in cloud infrastructure. Our platform allows ProfitBricks to offer unprecedented services at prices others cannot touch because of legacy design and built-in costs."
ProfitBricks was started by Weiss and Andreas Gauger, who previously co-founded 1&1, the web hosting operation acquired by United Internet AG that was doing a $2 billion-a-year in 2010. 1&1 reportedly makes United Internet a tidy profit so, hoping lightning strikes twice, it's also backing ProfitBricks to the tune of taking a 30% piece.
The company has offices in Boston headed by US CEO Bob Rizika and 100 people in 16 countries. Operating on $17 million in initial funding from its founders and United Internet ProfitBricks will likely be looking for another $20 million-$25 million next year.
The start-up has patents pending on its widgetry according to Rizika.

Instead of firing off a letter to a newspaper, though, Yoshimi went to the Defense Agency's library and combed through official documents from the 1930s. In just two days, he found a rare trove that uncovered the military's direct role in managing the brothels, including documents that carried the personal seals of high-ranking Imperial Army officers.
Faced with this smoking gun, a red-faced Japanese government immediately dropped its longstanding claim that only private businessmen had operated the brothels. A year later, in 1993, it acknowledged in a statement that the Japanese state itself had been responsible. In time, all government-approved junior high school textbooks carried passages on the history of Japan's military sex slaves, known euphemistically as comfort women.
"Back then, I was optimistic that this would effectively settle the issue," Yoshimi said. "But there was a fierce backlash."
The backlash came from young nationalist politicians led by Shinzo Abe, then a little-known lawmaker in the long-governing Liberal Democratic Party, who lobbied to rescind the 1993 admission of state responsibility. That long-cherished goal seemed close at hand after Abe became prime minister in September.

Mitt Gets Mic-Checked, Ineffectively
CLIVE, Iowa -- Mitt Romney boiled down his stump speech to 12 minutes for a final pre-caucus night rally in this Des Moines suburb. It could have been shorter, but halfway through, he was interrupted by a "MIC CHECK!"
"Okay, ha ha!" said the candidate, as supporters chanted "MITT! MITT!" They didn't chant long enough; they started in again with the start of a talk about the "99%."
"I'd like to go back to talking about the Constitution," said Romney.
"The 99% isn't in the Constitution!" yelled an Occupier.
"Ha, ha!" said Romney, waiting for this to blow over. "Isn't it great that we live in a country where you can express yourself?" He toyed with the protesters: "When Obama comes here, maybe WE can make that same noise, about his policies!"

Who saw that coming? Barcelona loses first league game of season
Jan 19, 2013, 3:14 PM EST
Up two after 25 minutes, Barcelona looked en route to a typical Blaugrana Saturday. Messi was on the board as was Pedro, the young Spaniard with only his fourth goal for the season. Against a team averaging fewer than a goal-and-a-half per game, it should have been enough, particularly considering Real Sociedad was unlikely to keep Spain's leaders off the scoresheet over the final 65 minutes. (Barcelona came into the game averaging 2.8 goals-per-65 league minutes.)
Even when Gonzalo Castro pulled one back for Sociedad minutes before half time, Sociedad could not have predicted they were on their way to a 3-2 victory over the previous undefeated Barcelona. It was only after 11 minutes of the second half that La Real could have started to dream, with a sending off leaving the hosts to play the final third of the match up a man. Castro added a second seven minutes later, and in stoppage time, Imanol Agirretxe finally put a "1″ in Barcelona's loss column.
Barcelona's only other loss this season had been to Celtic in Champions League group play.
After the match, Tito Vilanova said he'd cautioned Gerard Piqué and halftime. Something about the match must have convinced the Barcelona head coach to reiterate the obvious. Carrying a caution into the final 45, Piqué couldn't afford any mistakes. Yet only 11 minutes into the second period, the Barcelona defender was gone after taking down Carlos Vela.
It was the break Sociedad needed. So were the posts Messi and Pedro hit. So was the incredible performance from Castro. So was a defensive performance that limited Barcelona to three shots on goal. Not all of these breaks were luck, but for Sociedad to pull of this upset, they needed a number of things to go their way, not the least of which was their own resilient performance.
Such is the nature of unexpected results. They usually require a number of coincidental events to line up. On Saturday in San Sebastian, that's exactly what happened.
Real Sociedad's three unexpected points vaulted them to fifth (temporarily) while Barcelona must remain content with an 11-point lead on second place Atlético Madrid.

She was detained on Sunday morning in the north of the city and was released pending a report to the Public Prosecution Service.
Two pipe bombs were thrown at two young officers in the early hours of Tuesday as they responded to a 999 call in the Crumlin Road area.
They had just got out of their armoured vehicle when the two missiles were hurled at them, exploding just yards away.
The pipe bombs were described by the PSNI as large homemade grenade-type devices.
A 25-year-old man, who was arrested in the West Midlands in England, and a 27-year-old woman, who was detained in the north Belfast area, remain in custody.

Guitars are great instruments for learning to play music. Learning the basics is easy, but there are also complicated pieces to learn. Keep reading if you want to learn more about playing the guitar.
Figure out the simple stuff first. In order to play those involved pieces, you must first learn about the basics. You might be tempted to master your favorite song from the get-go, but it's imperative you have the right foundation first. Get down your finger positions. Practice your chords and scales as often as you can. Be sure you can do these well prior to trying more advanced things.
Ask a teacher for help. Though many people have taught themselves guitar, just as you can, you might want someone objective to watch you play. A teacher that's good will tell you how to improve your style and do other things to play better. Asking questions of them can also help.
You need to learn guitar tabs and music notations. Understanding musical theory will help make sure you know how scales and the different chords work. This can help you to create music without stress. This will improve your riffs and melodies.
Make practicing the guitar fun. Remember that the reason for learning guitar in the fist place is because you have always wanted to. It should not be a source of stress or anxiety. This can make you bored and you'll stop practicing. Play the songs that you find to be the most fun.
Your fingertips are likely to be sore before calluses form on them. It might be less painful to start with an electric or a guitar with nylon strings. It's painful for beginners to play a steel-string acoustic guitar. Although you may find relief from soaking your fingertips in rubbing alcohol, avoid harmful substances, like turpentine.
Now that you have read this article, you should know more about playing the guitar. Give it some time each day and you will soon be a great guitar player. Express yourself through your music when you can play the guitar.

A frustrating season for the Barton Community College volleyball team came to an end Sunday in the opening round of the Region VI Championships. Barton's season ended with a 24-26, 25-18, 25-16, 25-15 loss to Colby at the Sports Arena in Hutchinson.
Saturday produced a very good win for the Barton Community College men's basketball team – a win over a Top 20 team. Friday, though, kept the Cougars from a perfect weekend and a 4-0 start to the season.
It was a rather mundane weekend for the Barton Community College women's basketball team. Mundane in a good way as the Cougars rolled to a pair of blowout wins at the Conquistador Classic in Dodge City.
At the Moundridge Invitational Debate Tournament the GBHS debate squad placed second in sweepstakes.

Carroll Hosbrook, a farm boy from Ohio, found himself in a small French village on Nov. 11, 1918. Bells in a bombed-out church were still intact, ringing out the good news of the Armistice having been signed-on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. Carroll was writing home on this historic day, a series of letters that chronicled his service-from boot camp to battlefield. My Uncle Carroll had a wry sense of humor, an eye for girls, and a strong sense of duty to family and country.
Wanda scanned the letter feverishly. Eventually, she would read it more carefully. No, that wasn't quite right. Eventually, she would memorize the letter. But for now there was only one thing she wanted to know.

CHICAGO – The awesomeness of history loses any of its stuffiness with the incredibly fun, indeed educational show "Drunk History" from Comedy Central, its two seasons now released on DVD. Hosted by its creator Derek Waters, the show is a celebration of various historic figures and their under-appreciated true tales, as expressed by funny people narrating in the universal language of inebriation; their recounts are then reenacted by famous actors working with their given dialogue, dressed with the comic cheapness of a bloated biopic.

World War II Drama 'Fury' Fires on All CylindersSubmitted by PatrickMcD on October 17, 2014 - 6:02pm
Rating: 4.5/5.0
CHICAGO – "Fury" just might be Brad Pitt's "Saving Private Ryan." At its heart it's a crowd pleaser, but it never shies away from the sheer brutality of war. While it doesn't have anything quite so devastating as "Saving Private Ryan's" D-Day sequence, it depicts the everyday horrors of killing the enemy and the men who must force themselves to make their peace with the casualties that pile up in the muck.
Daring Vision of Darren Aronofsky's Epic 'Noah'Submitted by BrianTT on March 27, 2014 - 11:55am
Rating: 4.0/5.0
Darren Aronofsky's controversial "Noah" exists somewhere between the sentimental, straight-faced versions of biblical tales that Hollywood has been producing for decades and more auteur-driven fare like Martin Scorsese's "The Last Temptation of Christ".
'Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters' is Driven by MythSubmitted by PatrickMcD on August 7, 2013 - 8:08am
Rating: 3.0/5.0
CHICAGO – Although on the surface, the Percy Jackson stories may seem like Harry Potter rip-offs, the use of a mythology theme and a slyer sense of humor does give them some distinction and life. It also provides several moments of unintentional laughs in "Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters."
Wonderful 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower' Captures Teenage Life with GraceSubmitted by BrianTT on September 27, 2012 - 3:13pm
Rating: 4.5/5.0
CHICAGO – Stephen Chbosky's "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," based on his hit book of the same name, is the most pleasant and accomplished surprise of the year, a delightful, sweet, funny, and moving examination of teenage life that merits comparison to John Hughes and Cameron Crowe.
'The Three Musketeers' Lets Down Legendary HeroesSubmitted by BrianTT on October 21, 2011 - 5:09pm
Rating: 2.0/5.0
CHICAGO – Seriously?!?! Another "The Three Musketeers"?!?! Just because source material is beloved, why does it need to be remade over and over again? Perhaps Paul W. S. Anderson's new take on the legendary trio complete with "Resident Evil"-esque action sequences can serve as the final word on this over-done story although if it somehow ends being the only version that future generations end up seeing they will surely wonder why such a boring tale was retold so many times in the first place.

DAKAR, SENEGAL — The street level of Ousmane Ndiaye's building features a fabric shop. He and his family live in a posh apartment on the second floor. Their upstairs neighbours? His beloved ram Billal and 10 other sheep.
Here his animals prance on a sunny outdoor terrace well above the commotion of buses and vendors below, and only rarely use the building's winding staircase.
Billal is fed the family's dinner leftovers, and Ndiaye jokes that his wife is jealous of his sheep. The family even foregoes potential rental income by leaving the upper level of their building unfinished.
"I could rent this place out for 250,000 francs ($500) a month, but I prefer to keep Billal and my sheep here," says Ndiaye, 60, sporting a royal blue boubou as he strokes the head of the sheep he hopes will become a reality television star.
In a nation where sheep are given names and kept inside homes as companion animals, the most popular television show is Khar Bii, or literally, "This Sheep," in the local Wolof language.
It's an American Idol-style nationwide search for Senegal's most perfect specimen. Now in its fourth season, the show airs several times a week in the months leading up to Eid al-Adha, or Tabaski, as it's known here.
The feast of sacrifice is when Muslims around the world slaughter animals in remembrance of Abraham's near-sacrifice of his son.
In Senegal, the sheep's ties to the important religious holiday have made them a part of many urban families in this predominantly Muslim country of 12.8 million people. Still, every family that can sacrifices a ram at Tabaski, when an estimated 712,000 sheep will be purchased for slaughter. Some 240,000 of those are in the Dakar region alone, where supermarkets are already offering scratch tickets for a chance to win a free Tabaski sheep.
"The Senegalese are really into their sheep," says Fadilou Keita, 28, who lives with six of them by night at his Dakar home. The financial analyst carries his iPad in one hand and sticks his other in the mouth of Aziz to drag him toward the weigh-in scale. "This is my passion."
The finalists from each region of the country now face off later this month for a chance to win 2,000,000 francs ($4,000) and the extra prestige to their future breeding credentials, said veterinarian Dr. Mamadou Ba, a consultant for one of the program's sponsors.
The TV show's Facebook page has nearly 9,000 fans. The sheer volume of entries and its loyal viewership are testaments to just how much the Senegalese love their sheep.
As the country has urbanized, many have kept alive the tradition of sheep raising. It's not unusual to see them grazing in an urban traffic circle or seeking shade near cars at a taxi rank.
The TV show Khar Bii follows a team of judges as they make house calls to scope out potential candidates for regional finals. Trekking down sandy side streets and up on to rooftops, the crews set off in search of an animal with both size and composure.
In one Dakar neighbourhood, the Khar Bii team ducks under lines of clothes drying in a courtyard reeking of urine until the ram named Cherif is brought out of his pen.
A staffer with a face mask uses a rectal thermometer to be sure the animal is healthy enough for the competition. It takes a total of four people to keep Cherif still while they measure him in length.
The finalists from home visits then square off at regional finals, where one doting owner even brought a special umbrella to protect his sheep Dogo from the blazing sun overhead.
"Some people love cats, some people love dogs. Here we have sheep," says Abou Aziz Mare, 27, who says he spends three to four hours a day on his terrace with his animals. "I live with him like a close friend," he says of Dogo.
Samba Fall, 44, keeps seven sheep at his home in Dakar's Medina neighbourhood, though his clear favourite is blue-eyed Papis General Fall.
"He is like my little son," Fall says, stroking Papis between his horns. "I prefer being with my sheep to being with people. Sheep don't talk about insignificant things."
Some sheep in Senegal's capital are fed cardboard cartons to line their bellies or are forced to scrounge for trash. Fall says he spoils his sheep by mixing up a medley of corn, millet, beans and sorghum.
"Across the house he hears the pieces dropping into the bowl and comes to find me," he says with a proud smile.
Papis General Fall is among the nine finalists in one Dakar neighbourhood when he is led out of his pen on a rope and brought past the judges before being given a bag of food to keep him busy while the other finalists are trotted out one by one to the loud beats of a drum circle.
An audience in white plastic lawn chairs waves fans in the heat as the announcer calls out each animal's measurements and owner's name.
Each ram competing on Khar Bii is graded on a series of physical criteria — including up to five points awarded for the symmetry of its testicles and another five points possible for the quality of its coat. How well the sheep marches with his owner is another 10 points.
And overall size is key: Papis General Fall at 102 kilograms (225 pounds) failed to advance, and the neighbourhood prize went to Alassane — a ram weighing in at 127 kilograms (280 pounds).
The victor had a snow-white coat and red collar with his name embroidered in green and yellow letters — the colours of the Senegalese flag.
Even for the sheep who don't win cash prizes, there is still plenty of love. Lamine Diop, a 33-year-old post office worker, keeps a photo of Eto'o on his cellphone.
"I treat him like a brother," Diop says of the animal named for Cameroonian soccer player Samuel Eto'o. "A sheep is a part of the family. When the sheep is sick, it's like a member of the family is sick."

Charges Filed Against TEEN USA for Violations of Agreement
The complaint filed alleges Smith violated the agreement by failing to dissolve Teen USA and for failing to make payments due to the Attorney General's Office. According to the allegations, Smith and TEEN USA are still actively soliciting in the Cleveland area.
"Repeated violations committed by phony charitable organizations such as TEEN USA will not be taken lightly," said Attorney General DeWine. "My office will do everything in its power to make sure justice is served in this case."
A Temporary Restraining Order and a Preliminary Injunction have been issued requiring Smith and Teen USA to cease charitable solicitations in Ohio and freezing all associated personal and business bank accounts from any further activity.
Teen USA was registered as a nonprofit with the Ohio Secretary of State with a stated purpose of "fundraising for low income individuals, sports teams, and schools." A previous investigation conducted by the Attorney General's Charitable Law Section revealed that Smith misappropriated funds while running the organization from 2010 to 2013. Smith solicited teenagers to sell candy in Cleveland area neighborhoods as a fundraiser for TEEN USA but contributed nothing toward a charitable purpose, instead allowing the teens to keep some of the money for themselves while keeping a larger portion for himself.
Citizens in the Cleveland area who witness any further solicitations by TEEN USA are encouraged to contact the Attorney General's Office at 800-282-0515.
A copy of the lawsuit and the Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction are available on the Ohio Attorney General's website.

The owners clearly don't use a Dollar Store very often. It was a good stop-off and deserved closer inspection. Sadly, it closed at 5 and we were urged out into Burlington's rush-hour traffic.

"This card looks great. The only problem is that I can't look at all the pictures from the back and front at the same time."
"Every time I order cards with Tiny Prints I am so happy with them. The quality of the is excellent I love that I can personalize them with my own photos and crop them to how I want them and add my own text. I love how fast I get them also. I never have to wait long at all for them. They are Well worth the money."
"I was very amazed when I recieved my cards. The paper quality is excellent, the design very beautiful, and the shipping exceptionally fast! Overall rating is 5 stars! Highly recommended."
"My tiny prints look amazing!!!!! Once I rece them in person they are even better!!! The material they are made out of is just awesome!"
"I received the card and they're sitting on my desk ready to send out for Christmas so I've glanced at them every morning for a week now...I love them! Super cute, fresh style, I used the "vintage" photo lens to give it a more muted color scheme as seen in the photo example and it turned out great. The "Joy" does look less like real foil than it appears online, although it's the best it can be as far as replication without the real thing and I expected this. I also edited the tiny prints logo on the back by emailing the designer and instead included a Bible verse and I'm very pleased with the way that turned out. Overall just an eye-catching card that I'm very glad I ordered."

The "Gençlik Turizmi 2015" (Youth Tourism 2015) report, published by the Association of Turkish Travel Agencies (TÜRSAB), stated that Turkey aims to reach 50 million tourists, rake in $50 million in tourism revenue by 2023 and attract more young tourists between ages 7 and 27.
We've just announced that over the winter months, we'll be removing the Good Time Theatre from the park. We can't tell you all the details, but we'll need that space for future expansion.
For theme park strategist Tsuyoshi Morioka, it was clear that a little Harry Potter magic might lift the fortunes of Universal Studios Japan as it struggled with falling ticket sales.
"The collaboration between Knott's and Triotech will result in an incredibly interactive ride experience."
Dale Kaetzel, President for Six Flags Atlanta Properties, said the idea to open the park during the winter season has been discussed for many years, but officials wanted to wait until "the time was right."
