(Updates with comment from human resources firm in eighth paragraph.)
Oct. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Banks in the European Union face more stringent pay and bonus rules than rivals in North America and Asia, putting them at a disadvantage in attracting talent, the Financial Stability Board said.
The U.S, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong and Japan allow banks "more flexibility" than the U.K. and other EU countries when implementing international bonus rules, the Basel-based FSB said yesterday following a global review. National regulators should address the "level-playing-field" issues, it said.
EU regulators approved laws to impose limits on cash payouts and on the size of bankers' bonuses. Michel Barnier, the EU financial-services chief has described some awards during this year's bonus round as "unjustifiable," and said that he is considering further curbs.
"More work is necessary" by some nations to fully implement compensation principles for traders and managers approved by the Group of 20 countries in 2009, as well as to "address concerns over different interpretations of the standards," the FSB said.
Thirteen of the FSB's member countries, including EU nations, have implemented the FSB pay guidelines, the FSB said. All but one of the standards have been adopted in the U.S, Switzerland and Australia. Argentina and South Africa are among countries that have made the least progress.
Share Deferrals
"If you can't be competitive with compensation, of course it's going to be more challenging to attract quality people," said Russ Gerson, chief executive officer of New York-based executive-search firm Gerson Group. When demand for talent increases "it's going to become more challenging for the European-based institutions."
Germany, France and the U.K. are among countries, in addition to Singapore, that have set four FSB recommendations -- such as rules on deferring bonus pay or defining the mix of cash and equities used in awards -- as minimum requirements, according to the report released yesterday. Authorities in the U.S., Japan, Hong Kong, Canada and Australia allowed firms greater flexibility, "taking account of differences in their business models and risk profiles," according to the report.
The bonus rules haven't hurt London's "legacy as a global financial center," said Steve Leeson, operations director at Morgan McKinley Group Ltd.'s financial services unit.
"There is limited evidence from financial institutions, that employees are seeking opportunities" outside London "as a result of the current market," Leeson said. "London remains an attractive market for financial services professionals."
ING, Rabobank
Rules in some countries go beyond the FSB's recommendations, such as in the Netherlands, which imposed more stringent limits on variable pay as a share of total awards, according to the report. In the wake of regulations, Dutch banks including ING Groep NV and Rabobank Group are increasingly limiting bonus payments, a committee assigned to monitor payouts in that nation said in a report last month.
Under EU rules, as much as 60 percent of a bonus payout for risk-takers and senior managers must be deferred for at least three years, and half of the remaining amount must be in the form of shares.
The U.S. Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. adopted a rule in July empowering regulators to claw back some pay from top financial executives if their company was liquidated by the government. The rule authorizes the FDIC to recover pay for the two years preceding its appointment as receiver from senior executives and directors "substantially responsible" for the firm's failure.
Three Years
The FDIC also has also proposed lenders should spread at least half of top managers' incentive pay, including stock and options, over three years.
Some EU regulators have told the FSB that international differences on bonus deferrals and other aspects of pay structure "could disadvantage their banks in recruiting and retaining key personnel," the FSB said. The U.K. has raised concerns that rules curbing guaranteed bonuses aren't being applied with equal vigor in all jurisdictions.
Andrea Enria, chairman of the European Banking Authority, told lawmakers on Oct. 4 that the EBA will "come out with some recommendations on how to strengthen" implementation of the EU pay rules. The EU needs "much more consistency and tightness" in the way compensation is approached. The EBA coordinates the work of national regulators in the 27-nation EU.
The FSB works with national regulators from G-20 nations and sets tasks for global standard-setting organizations such as the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision.

My View: Scandalous outsourcing?
Date: August 30, 2012
by: Rod Thomson | Editor-at-Large
Sarasota County's new county administrator, Randall Reid, has pegged the county's "rush" to privatize as the main driving force behind the purchasing scandals that rocked county government and resulted in about 14 jobs lost, one criminal charge and the forced resignation of long-time Administrator Jim Ley.
Ley said the problems came from delegating too many decisions to lower-level staff members who then made errors. Some broke the law. But Reid said increased reliance on private contracts for goods and services, which Sarasota County does for about $300 million annually, was the cause of the purchasing problems.
This could be a risky and costly conclusion for taxpayers.
The county already was trending toward more outsourcing under Ley, in his attempts to keep government from growing too fast. But when the recession hit, the pace picked up quickly to save money, and that's when the problems multiplied.
Reid now says Sarasota County government will re-evaluate what services could be better accomplished in house. His reputation as more of a statist government bureaucrat than Ley and one who has more faith in government getting things done right and cheaper than the private sector suggests that he may find many opportunities to take more work inside government. That will result in a bigger employee base and a larger benefit pool for county taxpayers to support.
First, it must be noted that it was illegal and immoral behavior by individuals that was at the heart of the scandal. We always want to find systems and society to blame for individual misdeeds when it is usually as simple as a person choosing wrongly. Most choose right, some choose wrong, and we have laws to punish them.
In Sarasota County, employees were using county credit cards for personal purchases, and they may have been the recipients of monetary remuneration for guiding the selection of some vendors. Unethical and illegal. If true, prosecute the villains.
The risk given Reid's reputation — which we can all hope is overstated — is that the county will be flung backward on this issue, meaning more government workers will be hired and taxpayers will pay more to support a growing local government.
It's established in studies, history and common sense that with few exceptions — such as the military, police and firefighters — the private sector does things better at less cost.
There are those who despise that truth. For them, one word: incentive. Government lacks it, businesses have it in spades.
Racing back to government workers doing everything will bloat county government and is dutybound to drive up long-term costs for current and future taxpayers.
County commissioners need to resist and force Reid to justify every such move beyond pointing at the scandal of a few.
Reid has hired Ted Coyman to head the county's purchasing department. Coyman is a former contractor for the U.S. Department of Defense, which gives him experience in purchasing but not necessarily a lot of practice at keeping costs in line. Remember, these were the folks who gave us $400 hammers and other atrocious spending. Unfortunately, on time and under budget is not the reputation of defense contractors.
But there are exceptions. If Coyman can create better practices and oversight, and the county continues to privatize and keep in the private sector, things that can and should be, then we all win. Is that the direction Reid will take?
In the end, if county government grows payrolls and benefits — and benefits are a major problem with government spending now — as the solution to the purchasing misdeeds, it will be a huge mistake and cost all of us.

Fr. Fortea, how can one tell if a vision is demonic in origin or is a psychiatric problem? The best way to discern if something is demonic in origin or merely a psychiatric problem is through the passage of time.

Inovio's Scientific Advisory Board Chairman Elected As A Fellow By The American Association For The Advancement Of Science
BLUE BELL, Pa., Feb. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Inovio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NYSE Amex: INO) announced today that David B. Weiner, Ph.D., Professor, Department of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, and Chairman of Inovio's Scientific Advisory Board, has been elected a fellow in the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS). Dr. Weiner, often called the "father of synthetic DNA vaccines," is being honored for his pioneering and enabling discoveries in the area of synthetic DNA vaccines and promoting the nascent field of research during its early stages. Dr. Weiner was recognized at the Fellows Forum held February 18th during the AAAS Annual Meeting in Vancouver, Canada.
Dr. Weiner's laboratory helped to found the field of synthetic DNA vaccines in the early 1990s. His laboratory and collaborators were responsible for the first synthetic DNA vaccine Investigational New Drug application (IND). This IND for HIV immune therapy became the first IND approved as a synthetic DNA therapeutic vaccine. His studies were the first to establish that synthetic DNA vaccines appear well tolerated and are immunogenic in humans.
Dr. J. Joseph Kim, President and CEO, said, "This award is further recognition of David's visionary and untiring efforts at his lab in the University of Pennsylvania. These efforts led to the first discovery in the field of synthetic DNA vaccines. He created the scientific foundation for Inovio's clinical stage pipeline of synthetic vaccines for cancer, HIV, influenza and many other infectious diseases. It is through David's work that we may look back at this period and call it the "era of synthetic vaccines. We at Inovio congratulate David on this prestigious honor."
The AAAS Fellowship is based on scientifically or socially distinguished efforts to advance science or its applications. Members are elected to the organization by their peers. AAAS has been electing accomplished scientists to its society since 1874. The American Association for the Advancement of Science is an international non-profit organization dedicated to advancing science around the world by serving as an educator, leader, spokesperson and professional association. In addition to organizing membership activities, AAAS publishes the journal Science, as well as many scientific newsletters, books and reports, and spearheads programs that raise the bar of understanding for science worldwide.

The American people may not much care, but among the foreign-policy elite, public opinion is undergoing its sharpest shift since the Iraq War went south. Fears of overstretch are out; fears of vacillation are in. Russia's shrewd and thuggish behavior in Ukraine has alarmed not just the Dick Cheney-Bill Kristol crowd, for which every American adversary is Nazi Germany and every contested space is the Sudetenland, but many in the sensible center as well. The clearest evidence yet comes courtesy of that tribune of worldly prudence, The Economist, which declares in this week's cover essay that "America is no longer as alarming to its foes or reassuring to its friends." The Obama administration's "retreats," warns the magazine's accompanying editorial, have sparked "a nagging suspicion among friends and foes that on the big day America simply might not turn up."
This is bunk. There are legitimate criticisms of Obama's individual policies. In Syria, he may have missed an opportunity to arm, and shape, the anti-Assad opposition before jihadists took over, and calling Bashar al-Assad's use of chemical weapons a "red line" was clearly a mistake. In Ukraine, it's conceivable that harsher immediate retaliation in Crimea might have stopped Vladimir Putin there, although such a response might also have fractured Western unity. Where The Economist, and other newly hawkish critics of Obama's foreign policy, go wrong is in asserting that Obama's policies in one corner of the globe have emboldened adversaries and demoralized allies elsewhere. That's an old and costly illusion. Call it the "credibility fallacy."
Since the dawn of the Cold War, American policymakers and commentators have repeatedly insisted that the U.S. defend allies in one part of the world to show allies in others that America's promises enjoy "credibility." And again and again, the result has been to silence discussion of whether the country in question actually merits the expenditure of American money and the spilling of American blood.
In the immediate aftermath of World War II, George Kennan urged his superiors in the Truman administration to distinguish between those areas of the globe that were important enough to defend against Soviet advance and those that were not. But by the Korean War, Kennan's more limited strategy was overtaken by Paul Nitze's NSC-68, which insisted that, "any substantial further extension of the area under the domination of the Kremlin would raise the possibility that no coalition adequate to confront the Kremlin with greater strength could be assembled [anywhere else]." Whether the country under Soviet threat mattered in its own right was now irrelevant. Every country mattered because if the U.S. acquiesced to Soviet domination anywhere, it would lose credibility everywhere. "The effect," writes John Lewis Gaddis, "was to vastly increase the number and variety of interests deemed relevant to [American] national security, and to blur distinctions between them."
But the real disaster came in Vietnam. As a general rule, the men who led America into war did not see Vietnam itself as of great value. What haunted them was the fear that if America did not uphold its commitments there, it would demoralize America's allies, and embolden the Soviets, in places that really mattered, like Central Europe. "Around the globe, from Berlin to Thailand," declared Lyndon Johnson in April 1965, "are people whose well-being rests, in part, on the belief that they can count on us if they are attacked. To leave Vietnam to its fate would shake the confidence of all these people in the value of an American commitment and in the value of America's word." If the United States did not uphold its guarantees to Saigon, added Secretary of State Dean Rusk, its "guarantees with regard to Berlin would lose their credibility."
Ironically, the very European leaders whose morale Johnson and Rusk feared undermining if America abandoned South Vietnam—men like British Prime Minister Harold Wilson and French President Charles de Gaulle—privately urged the U.S. not to escalate the war. In the end, after tens of thousands of Americans and millions of Vietnamese had died, the United States did abandon South Vietnam. And the world shrugged. Yes, communists racked up victories in some other corners of the developing world in the 1970s. But they lost ground in others. And in the heart of Europe, the place American policymakers really cared about, NATO held together and the Soviets stayed on their side of the Iron Curtain.

Trump Cinema
490 Neptune Avenue,
No one has favorited this theater yet
Showing 1 - 25 of 27 comments
Anyway (it took me long enough), getting back to the Trump. The entire introduction is wrong. The Trump Cinema was opened in 1968 with Zeiss Ikon 16mm projectors as a prototype for its owner, Automated Theatres of America. They, like Jerry Lewis, sold "turn key" theatre packages. The main difference between them and Jerry Lewis theatres is that ATA franchises were all equipped with Zeiss Ikon 16mm projectors and NOT 35mm.
Obviously, there wasn't room for ONE theatre franchise company, let alone two and sometime in 1970 they sold the theatre to Ted Morse, whose brother in-law managed the theatre. Realizing they couldn't get many current pictures in 16mm, I installed 35mm projection equipment for them in 1971. The "red" automation "start" button referred to was NEVER used from day one and I disconnected it when I installed the 35mm projectors, but it remained on the wall of the box office. They had union projectionists from the day the theatre opened, until the day it closed, which I believe was some time around 1977. In addition, it was nowhere near the site of the old Tuxedo Theatre.
Yes, I was well aware of the 1967 Rivoli run (I can still see the GWTW marquee transparency at the Rivoli in my mind), however, it was re-released again in 1969. I remember the series that Bob recalls in 1975.
I can't account for a newspaper ad any more than I can account for the head of MGM's technical department doing any work for the "first" 70mm opening of a Universal picture.
In the end, it's not worth aguing about since all the people that would back me up are, unfotunately, dead.
Is it possible you are confusing a Radio City run of "Gone With The Wind" with that of the Rivoli? (The Rivoli is where the film had its initial 70mm roadshow re-issue run beginning in autumn 1967 and running more than a year.)
I don't think "Gone With The Wind" is considered to have been re-issued in 1969. Any engagements in 1968/69 were simply general-release bookings that followed the reserved-seat bookings that had begun in 1967.
Among the evidence discounting a 70mm run of "GWTW" at Radio City in 1969 is the fact that for "Airport," in 1970, the NYC newspaper ads boasted "The first 70mm film in the history of Radio City Music Hall."
This alleged second Radio City engagement of "GWTW" (and the one Bob Endres is recalling) was actually held during 1975 (April 24-30).
Warren was also involved with Omar Freeman, but, Omar who once did a lot of work for RKO became a projector butcher later on. Warren was making those automation systems under the name "Raven Laboratories" that Omar installed in so many theatres he installed….along with those RGM sound systems.
Ryan's Daughter opened at the Zeigfeld.
Maybe I'll be able to find the letter Warren sent to me. Bill Nafash was involved in so many different projects it's no wonder he burned out. Theatre installation and service isn't for the faint of heart, since when a theatre has a problem they think that they're the ONLY theatre in the world and you're just waiting for their problem.-LOL
There's something odd going on. I know the Hall didn't have the 70mm machines until "Airport" at least in the main booth, and Howard wasn't able to work on the ones they had. On the other hand, Bill had a lot of outside jobs going, and Warren was involved with him. They might have set up a Howard modified projector in another area of the theatre. I don't think "GWTW" was ever shown to the public at the Hall until the 1974 70mm series. I also remember attending the opening of the MGM office building Screening Room with Ben Olevsky. That was for a SMPTE meeting and a product reel was shown in 70mm showing a flyover of the new building and scenes from the "Fabulous Four" series (the one we didn't show at the Hall was "Ryan's Daughter".) At that time the Hall was about to screen "GWTW" in one of the Screening Rooms for Nelson Rockefeller's daughter's birthday party. When MGM heard about it they offered to make the as yet unreleased 70mm version avaiable for screening in their new Screening Room. The Rockefeller response was appreciative, but the Hall was their "home" theatre. It was screened in Preview A for the party. We also did the projection when used at the Rockefeller estate in Pocantico, and Bill or Ben would go up there to set up the screenings. I wonder if that's the project Bill was working on while at the Hall? If you find the letter I'd be most interested.
Warren died a few years ago. The last time I saw him was at a pressentation for the SMPTE New York chapter at the Hall. He and Bill had a million outside projects going, and things were tried at the Hall on an experimental basis, but I don't remember ever hearing about a full-fledged screening of "GWTW" for the public before 1974.
(I apologize for getting off the Trump Theatre thread, this really belongs on the RCMH page.)
"When I started there in 1974, the first 70mm picture I ran was "Gone With The Wind" in 70."
You are absolutely correct about the 1974 run of GWTW, I remember it was part of a series. Around that time the Warner and Zigfield also scrambled to run 70mm series. I can't remember if it was the Warner or Zigfield that ran a musical series that included West Side Story and at the time I was thinking that was the first time I saw a 70mm print of West Side Story since it originally played at the Rivoli.
However, when you ran GWTW it was the SECOND time it ran at the Music Hall. In fact, Bill Nafash had a bunch of XL 35/70 sprockets that the inner 35mm teeth got sheared off. Howard himself machines hand filed and finished the 70mm traps & gates specifically for that run. When you ran it, it wasn't an official re-release, it was just a special run for that 70mm series. The 1969 was an actual re-release that went into regular theatres afterward.
Warren Jenkins, who worked with Bill, sent me a letter at the time, which I'm looking for. Do you know if Warren is still alive? He can certainly confirm the '69 run.
It's interesting that you mention Rain Tree County (a picture that was razor sharp even in 35mm), they should re-release it in honor of Elizabeth Taylor, if they can find the negatives and they are still in one piece. Speaking of 65mm, the opening of Ben-Hur at Loews State was run in 65mm on Bauer U2 projectors that were specially installed for the opening and the sound was interlocked to a dubber.
Techman, you are right about Howard Strait (sp?) but "Airport" was the first 70mm film at Radio City. I think somewhere in my posts on the Radio City page I chronicalled the story, but as a recap. Ben Olevesky who was Head Projectionist at Radio City had fought against the installation of 70mm for years. I first met Ben in 1964, and spent the next few years visiting him at the Hall and having dinner (and drinks!) with both Ben and Bill Nafash. I think Ben had a smooth running booth and didn't want anyone to make waves, so he convinced Music Hall management that the only pictures to be released in 70 were "roadshows" too long to accomodate the Music Hall movie/stage show format. MGM wanted to run "The Unsinkable Molly Brown" in 70 at the Hall, but Ben told management that there probably wouldn't be any more 70mm features available.
The game changer came when Ross Hunter insisted that "Airport" be shown in 70mm. Universal had four-walled the Hall for the picture, so it was their theatre to do with what they wanted. That led to a scramble to even find 70mm machines for the opening. Howard Strait had been head of the camera department for MGM, and the studio had modified the first Simplex XL's to 65mm for "Raintree County". They had offered to modify the XL's for Radio City at the studio camera department, but by the time "Airport" came along Howard was no longer at MGM, and reportedly had been frozen out of his own company. This set up a really awkward situation. The "new" Paramount Theatre in the basement of the G&W building on Columbus Circle had eight of the machines on order. Three for the theatre, and four for the two screening rooms in the Paramount offices. Bill Nafash was to do the installation, so he arranged to divert three of the machines to the Hall for "Airport". He then went to Japan for a project.
I was told that the machines that the Hall got were modified under the supervision of Howard Strait's accountant who wasn't a technical person. The whole project was pretty much a disaster. Eventually, "Airport" did run most of the shows in 70, although the second run of the first day was in 35. The Hall also ran "The Cowboys" and "Scrooge" in 70. (I found shredded pieces of "The Cowboys" in the drawer in the rewind bench, and was in the booth during "Scrooge" because I had come to take the first part of the New York projectionist's exam while it was running.)
When I started there in 1974, the first 70mm picture I ran was "Gone With The Wind" in 70. It was part of what MGM called "the Fabulous Four" and we also ran "2001" and "Dr. Zhivago" in 70. When I announced to the crew that we were going to be running 70, one of them put his hands around my throat and said, "We DON'T want to run 70! Warren Jenkins who was technical director at the Hall and associated with National Theatre Supply, arranged for us to take the mech heads out to the NTS factory in Paramus and have them rebuilt. In addition we had Andy Margolin of Kelmar come in and modify the projectors with a 70/35mm version of his reel arms.
The revamp of the Simplex 35/70's at Paramus was obviously successful — those machines are still running the opening film for the Christmas Show in two projector 3-D to this day!
(As another quick note: the original modifications for "Raintree County" and "Ben Hur" for dailies at MGM were for 65mm sprockets — the MGM proprietary process was known as "Camera 65". The projectors as the Hall, and the ones I have here in my screening room, made much later still have 65mm rather than 70mm sprockets!)
I guess we're going to have to agree to disagree. Although I'm becoming senile and can't tell you who I talked to yesterday, I'm certain Airport wasn't the first 70mm film to run at Radio City. I would have suggested that we ask Bob Endres, but he didn't start working there until the early 70's. All the people that I dealt with at the time are all dead now (which I'll be also shortly), so that just leaves me to argue the point.
As an example other examples of more website mis-information, look at this site:
View link
They say GWTW was released in 1939 and then re-released in 1947, 1954, 1967 and 1969. However, they left a re-release out. I personally ran a NEW Technicolor IB print that had a 4 channel mag track on a 1961 re-release. In my mind it was anamorphic, because I remember changing lenses for trailers, but I can't see how that could be and wouldn't swear to it since it was before MGM did the anamorphic hatchett job on the 1967 re-release of GWTW.

Techman…I can only assume you're referring to "70mm in New York," posted on the website FromScriptToDVD.com. Try that article's 1967 page. As co-author of that article/list, I can assure you that there is indeed an entry for "the original run when the 70mm version of 'Gone With The Wind' first premiered in New York" (though you'll find you're mistaken about the theater in which it played).
<<< "The special 70mm opening was at Radio City Music Hall in 1969. I know that because "Gone With The Wind" was the reason they installed the Simplex XL 70mm projectors at the Music Hall." (posted by techman on Mar 26, 2011) >>>
It would appear the passage of time has created an incorrect memory, techman. There's plenty of evidence available to support the claim that the 70mm projection system was installed at Radio City Music Hall in 1970 for "Airport." ("Gone With The Wind" didn't play a 70mm run at RCMH until 1975.)
Things were MUCH different years ago, today anything goes. I still haven't gotten over the consent decrees that ruined Loews/MGM. A MUCH worse situation exists today with 2 or 3 companies controlling EVERYTHING. AMC, Regal & National Amusements control the majority of theatres in this country and the government sees no problem with that. In the 1960's I drove around the country and any city or town worth driving through had a Loews theatre. Since in many instances it was the ONLY theatre in town, it didn't even have a name on the marquee, it just said LOEWS on the big vertical.
Thanks techman,you sure know your stuff. I worked and managed 3 Loews Theatres in Nashville, Tennessee in the late 70's early 80's luckly we had union guys in the booths and Never had a major break down or problem in all those times.Thanks again for you imput.
It sure is ironic! The film companies are just like other big companies, when they decide to do something, whether it makes sense or not sometimes has no bearing? In the mind of the paper pushers at MGM at the time, the NEW redone "anamorphic" prints they spent so much money on, first restoring the 3 B&W masters that had shrunk differently on each one, which necessitated having to re-register every frame of a nearly 4 hour movie. Then, after that was done they had to optically scan it top to bottom (as opposed to side to side like they used to do for TV prints of Cinemascope movies) in order to keep the action in the "new" widescreen format, while at the same time losing picture information from the original 1.33:1 aspect ratio when converted to 2.35:1.
For "non-purists" it could have been an interesting "modern take" of the original version. However, the color was all washed out and everytime there was a dissolve, the color and grain became even worse. In contrast, the Technicolor IB prints (which are no longer made), that all previous prints of GWTW were made in, have non-fading color and virtually no apparent grain at all.
Warner Brothers, that not only has DVD & Blu-ray rights to WB films, but, also many other company's films (somehow), have the DVD & Blu-ray rights to GWTW. They claim to have developed software that can take a film that's been stored as 3 B&W strips and to "perfectly" re-register all these films that have shrunk over the years. Since they can scan these film at 8K, it's possible to make 35mm release prints from a re-registered and color corrected digital scan, which is how the last release of of the Blu-ray of GWTW was made.
Thats funny techman so the "Dumps" got the better original format,how ironic.
tisloews-You sure are right about that. I just emailed a website that purportedly listed EVERY 70mm film ever run in New York City along with the theatre it ran in. What caught my eye was it only showed "Gone With The Wind" as running at the Ziegfeld theatre in 1970 as part as a 70mm series. However, they had NO LISTING for the original run when the 70mm version of "Gone With The Wind" first premiered in New York. The special 70mm opening was at Radio City Music Hall in 1969. I know that because "Gone With The Wind" was the reason they installed the Simplex XL 70mm projectors at the Music Hall. Those projectors are VERY rare and the 70mm gates had to hand made by a guy name Howard Streit (I think that's how he spells it). Personally, I HATED what they did with GWTW, it looked lousy compared to the original Technicolor IB prints. The funny thing is that when GWTW went into wide release they didn't have enough new anamorphic prints, so they also used Technicolor prints they had for the "dumps". The people that went to the dumps got to see it in ALL its original glory.
Thanks techman,there is alot of wrong info on this site, but that happens on these kind of sites.
There seems to be a lot of mis-information about the Trump Cinema. It opened in late 1968 and was the "prototype" 16mm theatre of Automated Theatres Of America. They sold the theatre to the owner of the Card Shop in the shopping center. Because getting a continuous supply of 16mm current features wasn't reliable
the new owner converted the projection equipment to run standard 35mm films, starting with the re-release of The Ten Commandments. It had absolutely nothing to do with union projectionists, which the theatre had from the day it opened (automated or not) until it closed.
This theatre had NOTHING to do with Jerry Lewis Cinemas. There was a Jerry Lewis Cinema in New York, but in was located in a strip mall in Rockaway. It burned downed and was reopened as a twin, then a third theatre was added shortly later.
Sounds like it was a great little dump.
What as tiny horible dump this was. The screen was so small, it was like watching a movie in someone's living room. I think I was there one time to see a double-feature of "Don't Look Now" and "Bang the Drum Slowly." I'm not surprised to hear that is gone, no great loss.
I grew up in Warbasse across from Trump Village and I think this tiny theater -which existed only nine years from 1969-1978, was more a victim of "Pay TV" once Warbasse and Trump got HBO, the Trump Cinema went XXX. Still as a kid growing up…this was sort of our neighborhood's own,private theater.
the toilet was behind the screen, so everybody saw you when you had to go use it
I grew up in (and with) Trump Village from the day I was born in 1964 through the mid-80's. I look back now from this nice house and "neighborhood" in the suburbs and think, "Man, what a great place to have been a kid." With all that we have now, I really wish my kids could experience half the adventures and half the spontaneity we had in Brighton Beach/Coney Island and, in particular, in Trump, that Jewish ghetto by the sea. Between the beach, the parks, the street games, the public transportation, the thousands of kids in Trump and in the surrounding neighborhoods, and all the energy and excitement only the streets of New York can offer, it was an amazing place. My clearest memory of the Trump Cinema, aside from the short time it turned into a XXX theater, was as a 7 year old, picketing outside the theater with my older brother (by 2 years) and his (our) friends. We were "protesting" because they wouldn't let us in to see "Billy Jack." We went back three days in a row after school and really thought they'd eventually let us in. Never happened. The theater was as small as described in other posts, but for us it was magical, a place our parents could drop us off to see the newest kids' movies and cartoons. Really cool to have found this site. Mitch
The address should be 490 Neptune, per an old city directory listing as well as the current listing for Radio Shack.
I saw my first movie here, The Wilderness Family. The last movie I remember seeing in this theater was The Towering Inferno when I was a kid and all I want to be was a fireman. My grandmother used to sell the popcorn.
The screen in this theatre was UP on the wall! Since it was so small and the rows of seats went right up close to the screen, the screen was put up higher on the wall.
You had to look up to see it, and had a pain in the neck by the end of the movie.
The screen also had a really bad curtain that came DOWN over it. You could see the bottom of the screen between the rounded parts of the bottom of the curtain.
I saw PHASE IV at this theatre.
There was a POPCORN machine for snacks.
The theatre doors were CHAINED from the outside when it went XXX. Do not know all the circumstances.
The Trump Cinema…named after Donalds father who developed middle class housing was a tiny theater that stood in a strip mall on Neptune AV. in Coney Island. This theater was SMALL< and if it sat 250 people, it was a lot.The average theater on a cruise ship is at least two and a half times bigger!It opened in the spring of 1969. A hardware store once stood there. It was plain to the extreme, and snacks wetre dispensed by vending machine. Even though it resembled an "art house" from NYs Upper West Side, people called it a hole in the wall.Remember seing Bonnie and Clyde here long after it opened. I also saw The Longest Day for the Twenty fifth anniversary of D Day. The last film I saw here was THE Sorrow And The Pity with my friend Jerry D who lived in the housing development. This was in early 1975. They showed porn after that and eventually it closed.

Time to Talk About Sustainable Development
NEW YORK ( Bullion Bulls Canada) -- It is an utter absurdity that "sustainable development" is a proverbial four-letter word throughout our society.
Proclaim you're an advocate of sustainable development, and then just stand back as right-wing Neanderthals hurl their idiot-epithets at you. Environmentalist. Socialist. Communist. In fact, however, what advocating sustainable development really signifies is a basic understanding of economics, and the ability to perform arithmetic.
As every economy matures, economic growth steadily slows -- literally toward zero. This is not a "theory." This is empirical evidence, from every nation and culture on the planet, spanning thousands of years.
When an economy begins development, growth is initially rapid as economic opportunities abound. However, over time these opportunities dry up as there are less new markets to discover and the old markets begin to become "crowded" with competitors.Understand that if one is against sustainable development then ipso facto you are an advocate for "unsustainable development." Unsustainable development -- in a finite system -- is not an "economic strategy." Rather, it is conclusive evidence of either insanity or idiocy: seeking to do the impossible, or not understanding that you seek to do the impossible. But we're not dealing with simple idiocy here. We compound that idiocy, many times over. In addition to the inevitable slowing of maturing economies, we have piled insane amounts of debt onto all these mature economies -- making them hopelessly insolvent. Put aside all of the obvious Western Deadbeats (led by the U.S.). Let's look at Canada. A quarter-century ago, when Canada's debt-to-GDP ratio soared above 70%, it was universally agreed by governments, the media and their esteemed experts that Canada was experiencing "a debt crisis." Today, with Canada's debt-to-GDP ratio above 80%, it is hailed as a paragon of fiscal prudence by these same governments, media and experts. Obviously the rules of arithmetic haven't changed in the last 25 years, meaning you cannot re-define solvency. We are being lied to. Nearly all Western economies are spiraling toward complete debt-implosion -- at which time the more than $1 quadrillion in assorted banker, paper Ponzi-schemes will also implode. Want to get some idea of what that will look like? Think Greece.

Book synopsis
The challenges of an ageing population and workforce are increasingly recognised by policy makers, managers and workers in many countries. In this book, prominent researchers address these challenges. It deals with health and workability, and gives data and viewpoints on competitive advantages and disadvantages of older workers. The study includes data on attitudes, specific measures and policies from many parts of the world: Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil and Singapore. The authors present a variety of interesting examples of measures used in workplaces, to motivate and enable workers to stay longer in working life. This book is an encounter between research and policy: it contributes to the discussion of policies related to older workers.

Hospital board members and other leaders should consider market characteristics, base salaries and incentives, and the structure of the compensation package when developing a physician compensation plan.
Healthcare reform is a game changer for hospitals and health systems, with new rules and new objectives for participants. A game-winning strategy for hospitals and health systems should include compensation structures that engage physicians in the mission of the health system and enable them to work toward goals that support the mission, vision, and goals of the organization.
Developing a meaningful compensation structure—encompassing salary, incentives, and benefits—involves taking an in-depth look at the organization's culture, mission, and underlying philosophy and considering their value in relation to each of these areas.
The expectations of employed physician groups may vary from group to group. Some groups will be expected to cover their expenses, while others will be expected to generate a positive margin. Some will contribute in ways that go beyond their financial ROI. The best way to arrive at a meaningful physician compensation structure is to consider these and other issues and to seek ways to reward physicians based on outcomes that are rooted in the organization's strategic mission.
Hospital board members and other leaders should ask three critical questions in determining the right approach to physician compensation.
How will market characteristics influence physician compensation? When defining the physician market, the following factors should be carefully examined:
To what extent should base salaries and incentives be used to compensate physicians? Currently, even for physicians who are employed by health systems, there is very little variable component of compensation beyond base salary. Potential elements of compensation include not only cash and benefits, but also intangible benefits that come with working at a hospital or health system. For physicians, these benefits could mean anything from a flexible work schedule to opportunities for research, pro bono projects, conference presentations, independent contracting, or other work in the community.
How should the organization's physician compensation package be structured? Just as salary levels provided by hospitals and physician groups differ, benefits provided in private practice are typically not the same as those paid by hospitals. There are a number of variables to consider, such as retirement plans and supplemental executive retirement plans, annual incentives and long-term incentives, and long-term disability.

Three independent bookstores are suing Amazon along with Random House, Penguin, Hachette, HarperCollins, Simon & Schuster and Macmillan, alleging that confidential agreements between the bookseller and the publishers is keeping them from participating fairly in the eBook marketplace.
The Huffington Post has the story: "The bookstores making the complaint are the Book House of Stuyvesant Plaza, based in Albany, N.Y., Fiction Addiction in Greenville, S.C., and Posman Books of New York City, though the suit states that these stores are suing on behalf of 'all independent brick-and-mortar bookstores who sell e-books.'"
The bookstores would like to be able to sell "open-source and DRM-free books" that would be accessible on Kindles and other eReaders. Author Cory Doctorow points out that the complaint misunderstands the term DRM. He writes on BoingBoing: "For some reason, they're using 'open source' as a synonym for 'standardized' or 'interoperable.' Which is to say, these booksellers don't really care if the books are DRM-free, they just want them locked up using a DRM that the booksellers can also use…There is no such thing as 'open source' DRM."

GSMA Report Reveals Mobile Drives Unprecedented Growth In Arab World
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Feb. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Today the GSMA published its first in-depth assessment of the impact of the mobile industry on the Arab States 1, highlighting the explosive growth of mobile services in the region. Based on research from Deloitte, the GSMA Arab States Mobile Observatory 2 details strong regional market competition and falling handset prices, fuelling a 32 per cent average annual growth in mobile connections over the past 10 years, soaring from 19 million connections in 2002 to 391 million in 2012.
While highlighting the extraordinary development of the region over the past decade, the report identifies fundamental challenges that put the continued growth of the sector at risk, including limited spectrum availability, high taxation and stifling regulation.
"Mobile communications in the Arab States have transformed society and fostered substantial growth in investment, innovation and productivity," commented Tom Phillips, Chief Government and Regulatory Affairs Officer, GSMA. "However, there are far greater opportunities that the mobile industry can deliver for the region. Governments need to take action now to increase spectrum availability and stabilise the regulatory environment if they want to continue the momentum and realise mobile's full potential."
Economic Impact of MobileThe rapid pace of mobile adoption has delivered substantial economic benefits for the region, directly contributing
US$ 132 billion to the economies of the Arab States, or approximately 5.5 per cent of total GDP, in 2011
In addition to the economic value, the mobile industry has contributed to employment in the region. The full-time employment created across the Arab States as a result of the availability of mobile technologies is estimated to have been more than 1.2 million jobs in 2011. This figure represents a combination of direct employment by mobile operators, jobs across the mobile ecosystem and the multiplier effect caused by the positive business impact of the mobile ecosystem on wider industries, further boosting job creation. If additional harmonised spectrum were allocated to mobile broadband, 5.9 million additional jobs could be created by 2025, according to the study.

If I had to choose, it would be outside on a rainy day. At least if I were inside, I'd have things I could do to keep myself busy. And with the curtains open, I could at least enjoy some of that sunshine.
Agreed :)
I can understand that. I guess it would mainly depend on what you have to do. With my writing and quilting, I have things to keep me busy. Although I do prefer to sit at the beach while I write, but sometimes I just can't get there. And, if it were raining, I certainly wouldn't break out my pen and pad.
I used to smoke, just as an excuse to get away from a horrible boss. A co-worker and I shared a pack a day. That lasted about eight months until the job was done. At that point I just shook my head disappointingly at myself and never picked up another cigarette. Glad you found something better to do on your breaks. :-)
That's tough! I really like both options.
You obviously don't live in a rainy place?
I live in Seattle :)
I hate the sun, I'm a night person. Its gone midnight in the UK now

Being outside on a rainy day is PERFECT. Rain is awesome.

I absolutely LOVE this product. I have extremely oily skin (even tho its calmed down a lot, see my review on spearmint tea you oily skinned gals) and this survives the day through all of my oil. Im only 13 and don't really need a ton of anti aging stuff and don't have wrinkles yet but hey it doesn't hurt.
also the coverage is really good for basically anything. it covers pimples good and my dark circles are improved ALOT after puting some of this on.
stays thorugh the day, even on oily skin
good coverage for any flaw
good packaging
nice applicator
convenient packaging
good price, not expensive
covers basically everything except for some pimples
I love this product! I got it in the shade Light/Medium, because I've read that that shade was kind of yellow, and thus good for canceling out dark blue shadows under your eyes, which is what I have. A little goes a really long way with this product--it comes with a small doe-foot applicator, and you only need about half of what's on the tip, for both eyes. Be careful not to layer it on too much--anything will look bad when it's over-applied. But this stuff works WONDERFULLY. My dark circles are genetic--I can't remember a time when I didn't have them. It's so amazing to look in the mirror and see clean, bright, lifted eyes! Ladies, if the circles under your eyes have a blue-ish look to them, get this product! I will most definitely be repurchasing when I run out! ^_^
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I was using the Revlon Age Defying Concealer in a squeeze tube w/ spf25, but it was sadly d/c'd, and this is supposed to replace that, so I bought a tube to try. First mistake Revlon made was to use a Doe's foot applicator, 2nd was to ditch the spf. I HATE both doe's foot apps and those hideous foundation apps that force you to squeeze product thru a fillthy brush or sponge that you can never clean. BLECCCH!! Please let me use my clean fingers, and Revlon do you really think someone is going to apply w/ the applicator and NOT pat in w/ fingers???. You'd use app only, no fingers, if you want to look like a freshly spackled stucco wall. Also, I don't care how clean your skin is, you touch the applicator to your skin and then put it back in the container. Yuck. (I know the same can be said about mascara, but you really have no choice there, and I try to throw those away more frequently). OK, so onto the product. Almost as good coverage as the original squeeze tube formula, slightly less drying. I have very oily skin and lids, and the old squeeze tube formula was fine for me, but a lot of dry-skinned ladies complained, and in the dead of winter this IS better at smoothing out fine lines than the old formula. So, bottom line, I liked the old product better overall due to better pking and spf, but this is a slightly better formula due to its better skin smoothing properties but I hate the pkg. I'd only buy again if I couldn't find something better in a squeeze tube. 5/2014 UPDATE: I can't find this anywhere, so it seems to have been d/c'd. I review the new one w/ the pathetic sponge ball tip and pasty formula separately.

Happy with this concealer. Good coverage I will buy again.
I find this product to be excellent! I cannot understand why this product has a lot of bad reviews. As i was reading comments the only way for the product to give you negative thoughts would be that your either not applying it properly, not in your shade or your applying way too much..
After 12 hours this concealer still stayed on my eye lids as well as my liquid foundation. I felt my eye lids and they are so moisturized and soft that it makes my eyes look alot more tighter and younger.
Not a great concealer. It seemed very thick and dry. It was hard to blend. Definitely wasted my money on this one here...
The texture is liquidy, yet it ends up looking very thick and cakey. It's also really drying. It creases, and has light coverage so layering it only ends in more creasing. There are better concealers out there!
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I just wanted to warn people that this product, and other Revlon concealers I have checked, contains ARGIRELINE (Hexapeptide-8). This is a Botox-like muscle paralyzing peptide intended to limit new wrinkle formation by limiting the action of facial muscles.
IMHO this is not only unnecessary in the area under the eye that people apply concealer, but highly detrimental. If you look at dermatologist photos of Argireline being used under the eye you will see the wrinkles drop out - that is, they stretch flat under gravity. The very last thing I want is extra saggy under-eyes, thank you very much!!! Give me the wrinkles over that any day!
It's a real shame because some Revlon concealers are just great, like their Age Defying Moisturizing Concealer, but that too contains the dreaded Argireline! A catastrophic formulation mistake by Revlon in an otherwise excellent product.
3 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I picked this up because I had a $5 coupon and am always looking for the best concealer.Not sure why the reviews are so low - I really liked it! I bought Medium Light. As I get older, I don't want anything thick, and this leaves a nice wash of color without getting tacky or clumpy. It did not slide off during the day or settle into any lines. It lasted very well with a thin layer of powder over it and never looked noticeable, but did a nice job covering dark circles and random red spots.
I purchased the lightest shade available in 'Light' and I personally find it slightly to dark for my complexion. For reference I wear MAC NC15 or Matchmaster 1, Revlon Buff, Bourjois 51, Laura Mercier Silk Creme Foundation in Ivory Rose, and NARS Deauville. The colour is very yellow toned with a thick yet silky texture and provides sheer to light coverage. The real deal breaker for me is this creases horribly and gets really cakey looking when built up for extra coverage. Applied to blemishes or reddened area I find this product seems to melt and slide everywhere, even when set with powder. Overall a total waste of money and a product I wouldn't recommend considering there are other newer concealers in the drugstore that out perform this one.
