The photograph, taken by the observatory's weather buoy-attached camera Monday, is reportedly a result of the longtime decline of sea ice in the region due to global warming and the more recent increase in land temperature.

"The minimum artic sea ice extent in 2012 was nearly half the values seen at the end of the last century The large environmental shifts in 2012 provide evidence of sustained arctic change.""

Poor quality thin chinese recycled steel

Into The Woods
Charming Cabin Just 23 Miles from Yellowstone National Park in Historic Mack`s Inn Area!
Available to Reserve Online 24/7
Macks Inn Area Cabin Right on the Trails
Classic Cabin with hot tub, gas freestanding fireplace and fire pit
Sometimes in life you really just need a break from the everyday stress of life, and Into The Woods Cabin in Island Park is just the ticket. This classic cabin has a charming cabin feel that lets you know you're in the woods, but without sacrificing amenities and comfort. Ah...it feels great to hide from the world for a while!
From the moment you arrive, the beautiful wood interior is warm and welcoming, and feels like home away from home in the best sense. Good thing you brought a good book to read, because you feel like turning on the gas fireplace and relaxing in the cozy living room for the night before setting off on your adventures into Yellowstone National Park, which is only 23 miles away. The park is close enough, in fact, that after exploring it, you get home in time to enjoy a bonfire in the fire pit outside, and throw some steaks on the gas grill. 2 refrigerators give you plenty of room for all your gourmet groceries, which you enjoy cooking up in the galley kitchen that separates the family/dining area from the living room. Picnic tables outside under a covered porch are the perfect place to gather for your meals.
The upstairs is where the kids have fun...one bedroom has 3 queen beds. Slumber Party! The loft area has a twin and a full bed, and another upstairs bedroom has a queen bed, so there is plenty of room for young ones, and a half-bath for convenience. After putting the kids to bed and relaxing in the hot tub, the adults get to rest peacefully in one of 2 bedrooms on the main level with a queen bed. It's just hard to decide which bedroom you like better...the sunroom bedroom with all its windows for natural light, or the master, with a connected bath. With 2 baths downstairs, it doesn't really matter if you have a master, so you take the beautiful sunroom!
All that natural light helps you wake up earlier than the others....an unplanned opportunity to take your fishing pole and walk down to Henry's Fork of the Snake River, just a few blocks away. The community docks are the perfect place to enjoy the beautiful morning, and maybe even see moose in the river! The peace and quiet is definitely worth getting up early for, and you are in heaven admiring the beauty surrounding you.
A short trip to Mesa Falls, a nature walk at Big Springs, and a museum tour at Johnny Sacks Cabin and you are feeling completely renewed and maybe, just maybe, ready to face the world again! Knowing that you can come back to Into The Woods Cabin anytime gives you the courage you need to leave the tranquility of Island Park...until next time, anyway!

Krauss holding his own at the plate in recent weeks
SEATTLE — For all the talk about prospect Jon Singleton, Marc Krauss is having a strong month at the plate, even if the hits haven't been terribly loud. Just as he did two weeks ago Sunday in Baltimore, Krauss on Sunday gave the Astros some padding with a late home run in a 4-1 win […] [Read More]
Grossman gets call to rejoin big league club
SEATTLE — One of the Astros' two platoons is gone. After Sunday's 4-1 win over the Mariners, the Astros optioned L.J.

"He will play […] [Read More]

|Paris Hilton
Police officers swarmed the former reality TV star's Los Angeles home on Saturday after they received an anonymous phone call at 5.22pm that someone was breaking into her home.
A law enforcement source told gossip website TMZ.com that unlike past swatting incidents, the caller did not mention anything about armed assailants but when police arrived at the property, they found no trace of anyone breaking in.
The 32-year-old star was at a music festival in Miami, Florida at the time of the incident, which police have decided was a prank.
The blonde beauty is the latest in a number of celebrities to fall victim to a 'swatting' prank, following a similar incident at Tom Cruise's Beverly Hills home in January when a prank caller claimed an armed robbery was taking place, but officers found no crime had been committed.
A 12-year-old child also previously targeted Ashton Kutcher and Justin Bieber's homes in a series of elaborate prank burglaries.
Other victims have included Chris Brown and the Kardashian family, who were left furious after heavily armed officers showed up at their door in Calabasas, California, in January after a hoax caller claimed a shooter was in the house and they heard a gun being fired.
Kim tweeted: "Just got a call from my mom telling me about this prank call that someone was shot in their home and 15 swat team & 3 helicopters showed up! (Sic)
"These prank calls are NOT funny. People can get arrested for this! I hope they find out how is behind this. It's dangerous & not a joke! (sic)"

Grandmother Needs Gift Ideas
We have a one year old Granddaughter. I'd like to find something really special, something SHE'D really like.
It's been years since we browsed the baby toy aisles.
I've looked and looked, and can't see anything that grabs me.
She's just beginning to walk, and climb--she's a very, very busy (active) little girl.
Do any of you Mothers out there have any ideas for me?
We just bought our 10-month-old granddaughter a great new item. It is a peek-a-boo plastic "house" that holds balls made by Fisher Price. The box says 18 months so use your own judgement but I don't see anything in this that could hurt her. She loves getting in it to play with all the balls that came with it. It certainly gives her a break from her constant walking. She is all giggles when we play peek-a-boo with her thru the side plastic windows. It would help to have one of those electric items that can blow up airbeds.
Hi. I usually hang out in the craft forums but my SIL is expecting her 1st child in March so thought I'd peek in here and get in the baby mood. :)
Anyway Kathy I wrote this poem for someone else to give his grand daughter with a charm bracelet and thought you might be able to use it too:
A special grand daughter
charmed her way into my heart,
she is a gift from heaven
and I loved her from the start.
I wanted to buy a special gift
something she would truly treasure,
teddy bears and clothing
just werenÂt quite up to measure.
Something that would grow with her
and express my joy and pride
something I could add too
from birth to blushing bride.
So I give this bracelet
And a charm or two
And I will keep it growing
Just like my love for you.
~Sue Pitchfork~
LOL do you think she is ready for her very own drum set?
Hope this helps and that you don't mind me just jumping in.
Sue :)

Not the story of Gandhi or Anna Hazare, but the essence is same, says Jha.
Social activist Anna Hazare will undertake a month-long statewide tour from May 1 to create public awareness on the need for a strong Lokayukta legislation in Maharashtra.
Social activist Anna Hazare would be
shifted to a hospital in Gurgaon, near Delhi.
Aruna Roy believes Hazare`s movement lacked the ideological
tethering required to hold mass campaigns together and
was driven by the mass media.
Anna Hazare on Monday condemned
the blackening of Congress president Sonia Gandhi`s poster in
Delhi, saying it was not good for democracy.
After the incident in which Ramdev`s face was smeared with ink and Anna Hazare said such
attacks will not deter "people`s movements".
Bal Thackeray on Sunday trained his guns on Team Anna members Kiran Bedi, Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia.
The Bombay High Court on Friday dismissed a public interest litigation
filed by a Pune-based activist seeking investigations into the
trust of Anna Hazare.
Anna Hazare`s health is improving but he will need to remain in hospital
for a week, doctors
attending on him said on Sunday.
There was minor improvement in
Anna Hazare`s health on Wednesday as his fever subsided to 100
degrees from 102 degrees last night.
Supporters of Anna Hazare gathered
in Mumbai to participate in the three-day fast for a strong Lokpal,
look upon him as an avatar of Lord Krishna.
The CPI today said social activist
Anna Hazare should be "flexible" in his approach for achieving
a strong Lokpal and let the Parliament debate on the issue.
Anna Hazare today said that allegations of his links with RSS, were
being leveled against him by "supporters of corruption".
Anna Hazare
will be reaching here tomorrow for his three-day protest
fast after visiting the Sant Dnyaneshwar Samadhi en route.
Ahead of his three-day
fast here from December 27, Anna Hazare has caught cold but his associates say it
is no major cause for concern.
Metropolitan magistrate rejected the plea
by Satbir Singh of Haryana who had sought registration of a criminal case against Hazare and team members.
Appreciating the services
of anti-graft crusader Anna Hazare and Ramdev in mobilising public opinion against corruption, BJP Thursday appealed to them to "stay aloof" from politics.
Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan today declined to comment on the anti-corruption movement launched by Anna Hazare. When journalists asked him at the airport here on Hazare`s campaign, he just smiled and walked on.
Civil society activist Arvind Kejriwal Monday sought to know why government leaders were so opposed to bringing the prime minister under the Lokpal`s purview.
Gandhian Anna Hazare on
asked the people for repeat of a sit-in protest at Delhi`s Jantar Mantar if the government does not pass the Jan Lokpal

"RebelCore" Wants to Become New Term for Country Rap & Hick-Hop
You can call it country rap, or you call it hick hop (and some call it other things that are not so flattering), but a new company wants to coin the definitive term of what to call music that mixes country, rap, EDM, rock, and the rebellious culture of monster trucks and muddin' that surrounds the movement. RebelCore is what they want it to be known as….
EDM Replacing Rap As The Scourge of Country Radio
Whereas 2013 seemed to be dominated by country rap singles, 2014 has so far been the story of EDM, or Electronic Dance Music. Though EDM and hip hop can sometimes be mistaken for each other, especially to the country consumer's ear and because the two disciplines have numerous similarities, there are also many clear differences between the two disciplines.
Country Rap Becoming Mandatory for Country Males
If you're a male performer in country music right now, you may no longer have a choice. If you want to see your singles and records reach the top of the charts, if you want your songs played on the radio, and if you want to be in contention for the big awards, you better add some hip hop elements into your music. And Saving Country Music isn't the only one pointing this out.
How Wal-Mart Is Helping The Spread Of Hick-Hop
One of the principle purveyors of this underground hick hop is the record label Average Joe's. What The Wall Street Journal piece explains is how Average Joe's has been working very intimately with Wal-Mart to market country rap to certain areas seen as favorable to the emerging sub-genre. While physical CD sales are falling overall, Average Joe's has been able to keep the CD alive with the help of Wal-Mart, and country rap.
How Hip-Hop Stole Country Music: The Arrival of the Mono-Genre
All of a sudden hip-hop influences are dominating the top of the country music charts, asserting just as much influence, if not more than indigenous country influences, with a bevy of new country rap tunes from numerous artists ready to be released, and mainstream artists lining up to try and be a part of the trend. How did country music get here?
Surgeon General: Country Rap a Cause of Obesity
According to the Surgeon General's office, an extensive study by the Centers for Disease Control has determined that country rap is a Class 1 cause of obesity, especially in adult white males. Apparently the data from the study is so conclusive and alarming, the Surgeon General is considering pursuing heath warnings on country rap albums.
Everlast & The Chemistry of Country & Hip Hop
Since country is such a traditional art form, as soon as you interject a hip-hop element into the music (rapping, drum loops, samples, whatever) it ceases to be country, and instantly becomes hip-hop. He wouldn't think once about calling his songs country. In other words, there is no country rap. There's country, and there's hip hop.
Once And For All: SPOKEN WORD IS NOT RAP!
As simply as I can put it, making the case that spoken word and rapping in music are the same thing is an ignorance-based insult to the artistic integrity and creativity of both spoken word and rap artists, and to the intelligence of anyone who that case is being made to. Battling the infiltration of country rap is hard enough without revising history.
Country Rap Is Here: A Survival Guide
Country rap is here ladies and gentlemen. It is a full-blown chart-topping mainstream-acceptable sub-genre of country, like it or not. So what is a country purist to do? Well I have assembled a survivor's guide to help you rebuke some of the ridiculous claims being made by country rap apologists.
Jason Aldean's Rap Warns of Impending Mono-Genre
The parade of new lows coming from Music Row in Nashville just keeps coming folks. The pre-Holiday period of 2010 might go down as the worst ever. The latest low blow comes from Jason Aldean, whose single off his album released today called My Kind of Party is a straight up rap song.

EyeSmart Tips
Water & Contacts Don't Mix
To help prevent eye infections, contact lenses should be removed before going swimming or in a hot tub.
Jumping a Battery
Take precautions to prevent eye injury. Never lean over the battery and always wear safety goggles.
Eye Protection Works
Wearing the proper protective eyewear for sports and other activities can help prevent 90% of eye injuries.
It's Not OK to Skip a Day
To control glaucoma, take eye drops exactly as prescribed by your ophthalmologist—your sight depends on it.
Give your Eyes a Break
To prevent computer eyestrain, follow the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look at an object 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
What Is an Ophthalmologist?
Make sure you are seeing the right eye care provider for your condition or treatment.
Are You Fit at 40?
A baseline eye exam is recommended at age 40, when the signs of disease and changes in vision may start to occur.
Your Sight Depends on Seeing the Right Eye Care Provider at the Right Time
When it's time to "get your eyes checked," make sure you are seeing the right eye care professional for your needs. Ophthalmologists, optometrists and opticians each play an important role in providing eye care to consumers. But the levels of training and expertise are quite different for each type of provider. Here's a quick look at the three types of eye care providers:
An ophthalmologist — Eye M.D. — is a medical or osteopathic doctor who specializes in eye and vision care. Ophthalmologists differ from optometrists and opticians in their levels of training and in what they can diagnose and treat. As a medical doctor who has completed college and at least eight years of additional medical training, an ophthalmologist is licensed to practice medicine and surgery. An ophthalmologist diagnoses and treats all eye diseases, performs eye surgery and prescribes and fits eyeglasses and contact lenses to correct vision problems. Many ophthalmologists are also involved in scientific research on the causes and cures for eye diseases and vision disorders.
See videos of ophthalmologists talking about what makes them so passionate about preserving vision and fighting blindness.
Subspecialists: additional knowledge and training for specific eye needs
While ophthalmologists are trained to care for all eye problems and conditions, some Eye M.D.s specialize in a specific area of medical or surgical eye care. This person is called a subspecialist. He or she usually completes one or two years of additional, more in-depth training called a fellowship in one of the main subspecialty areas such as glaucoma, retina, cornea, pediatrics, neurology and plastic surgery, as well as others. This added training and knowledge prepares an ophthalmologist to take care of more complex or specific conditions in certain areas of the eye or in certain groups of patients.
Optometrists are healthcare professionals who provide primary vision care ranging from sight testing and correction to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of vision changes. An optometrist is not a medical doctor. An optometrist receives a doctor of optometry (OD) degree after completing four years of optometry school, preceded by three years or more years of college. They are licensed to practice optometry, which primarily involves performing eye exams and vision tests, prescribing and dispensing corrective lenses, detecting certain eye abnormalities, and prescribing medications for certain eye diseases.
Opticians are technicians trained to design, verify and fit eyeglass lenses and frames, contact lenses, and other devices to correct eyesight. They use prescriptions supplied by ophthalmologists, who are medical doctors and surgeons or optometrists, but do not test vision or write prescriptions for visual correction. Opticians are not permitted to diagnose or treat eye diseases.
Safeguard your vision. See the right eye care professional at the right time.
We all depend on our vision in more ways that we may realize. Without healthy vision, our ability to work, play, drive or even recognize a face can be drastically affected. Many factors can affect our eyesight, including other health problems such as high blood pressure or diabetes. Having a family member with eye disease can make you more prone to having that condition as well. Sight-stealing eye disease can appear at any time. Very often they are unnoticeable at first and are difficult to detect.
That's why it is so important to see an ophthalmologist for a complete medical eye exam by age 40, and then as often as prescribed by your Eye M.D.
Following are just some of the signs or risk factors for eye disease. If you have any of these, be sure to visit an ophthalmologist. A complete, medical eye exam by an Eye M.D. could be the first step toward saving your sight.
- Bulging of one or both eyes;
- Dark curtain or veil that blocks your vision;
- Decreased vision, even if temporary;
- Diabetes mellitus;
- Distorted vision;
- Double vision;
- Excess tearing;
- Eyelid abnormalities;
- Family history of eye disease;
- Halos (colored circles around lights);
- High blood pressure;
- HIV or AIDS;
- Injury to the eye;
- Loss of peripheral (side) vision;
- Misaligned eyes;
- New floaters (black "strings" or specks in the vision) and/or flashes of light;
- Pain in the eye;
- Thyroid disease-related eye problems (Graves' disease);
- Unusual red eye.

Benson added that Cash producer Lou Robin has also been to several Cash'd Out shows, and claimed that if he closed it eyes it was like "going back in time."

CinemaCon 2014, Las Vegas, March 24, 2014—Dolby Laboratories, Inc. (NYSE: DLB) and Lippo Group announced today that Cinemaxx, a new exhibitor under Indonesia's Lippo Group, has committed to installing Dolby Atmos in 100 cinema screens over the next three or more years, with 30 of the 100 screens scheduled to be launched by the end of May 2015. With this news, the revolutionary new Dolby Atmos® cinema sound format reaches a significant milestone: more than 600 screens worldwide have now been or are scheduled to be equipped for Dolby Atmos.
Dolby Atmos unleashes the potential of sound in storytelling by giving filmmakers the creative freedom to easily place or move sounds anywhere in the movie theatre to create a lifelike, virtual reality of sound and the most engaging cinema experience ever.
"Dolby looks forward to working with Cinemaxx to bring the ultimate cinematic experience to moviegoers in Indonesia," said Mahesh Sundaram, Vice President, Asia Pacific, Dolby Laboratories. "With Dolby Atmos, you feel as if you are in the movie, not merely watching it. We are confident that moviegoers will go back again and again to Cinemaxx once they enjoy their first Dolby Atmos film."
"Our goal is to offer state-of-the-art technology with first-class amenities," said Brian Riady, CEO, Cinemaxx. "With Dolby Atmos, we aim to take the Indonesian cinematic experience to the next level."
Dolby Atmos has quickly become the preferred choice for next-generation cinema sound among major studios, award-winning filmmakers, and exhibitors around the world. To find a Dolby Atmos equipped theatre and showtimes, please visit www.fandango.com/dolby. Movie patrons who would like to experience Dolby Atmos can visit iwantdolbyatmos.dolby.com or check with their local cinema for select showtimes when tickets become available.

Dolby: The Best of Sight and Sound at CinemaCon 2014
Jose (Pepe) Batlle
Former COO, UCI/Cinesa Continental Europe
Interview By Daniel Loria
Jose Batlle is the former COO of UCI/Cinesa in continental Europe. He was responsible for seeing management and direction in five key European territories: Spain, Portugal, Italy, Germany, and Austria. A 28-year veteran of the exhibition industry, Batlle retired from his post earlier this year.
BoxOffice recently spoke with Batlle in a wide-ranging conversation about his career and the state of the global exhibition market.
How did you come to work in this industry?
Michael Forman was in charge of Pacific Theatres in 1986 and was also overseeing Cinesa in Spain. Cinesa had finished 1985 with heavy losses and Michael decided to change the management. I was selected by Spencer Stuart Management Consultants to restructure and reorganize Cinesa and see if we could generate profits.
Those profits happened at the end of 1986, and in 1989 we opened the first multiplex. From 1989 to 1991 we opened additional multiplexes in Spain, and I approached Michael with an aggressive expansion plan to build even more multiplexes across Spain. He thought it was a great idea but wanted to go in with a partner because he wasn't keen on investing so much money in Spain at that time. That's when we came into contact with Paramount and Universal; they operated UCI and were building multiplexes in England and Ireland and had begun an expansion into Germany. They had also just started to look into Spain, and that's how we came up with our joint venture—Cinesa UCI—for the Spanish market.
In 1992, Michael Forman decided to sell his 50 percent of the company to UCI. This meant that Cinesa went from being a family-owned company to a multinational corporation.
In 1995, the executives at Paramount and Universal asked me to open multiplexes in Brazil. So while we were undergoing an aggressive expansion in Spain, we were simultaneously expanding aggressively in Brazil as well. I spent seven years of my life traveling between Spain and Brazil, where I opened 111 screens.
I was asked to take over Italy in 1998, where we didn't have a single multiplex at the time. We opened our first multiplex there the following year and today we have 450 screens in Italy.
In 2003 they asked me to take over Germany and Austria, which were coming off big losses. But in 2004, Paramount and Universal sold UCI to Terra Firma, without including Brazil in the deal. This took me from working at a multinational into working for a private equity firm. By that time, I was already senior vice president of continental Europe, and Terra Firma made me COO of the same region.
We started growing rapidly because of acquisitions. From 2004 until I retired this year, we acquired 10 companies in Italy, Germany, Portugal, and Spain. We now have more than 1,200 screens across continental Europe and we are the largest exhibitor in the whole of Europe.
What is the biggest change you've noticed since you began your career in the industry?
There have been several changes. When I first started in the industry, cinema was in a downswing. The arrival of multiplexes changed that, and the sector began to grow rapidly.
Secondly, there were too many small exhibitors all across Europe. The market is more uniform now. For example, the UK has three important players, Spain has two or three, Italy has two, and Germany has three. This wasn't the case before; there used to be a lot more regional players in every country.
I have also seen a dip in admissions, and it has been a big shift for our markets. The way we watch movies has changed so much. Consumers can easily access a movie anywhere they want, even through piracy.
I can't forget to include the influence of digitalization. The analog era is over in our business, everything is digital today.
There have been extraordinary changes in the industry throughout my 28 years working in exhibition.
What is your perspective on the European market today?
It's hard to speak about the "European market" as such; we have to speak about each country individually. When I arrived in Germany, the market was in a crisis. Now Germany is showing big gains and exhibitors in the market are working better. There were no multiplexes when I arrived in Italy and now it's a healthy market.
Spain is a very different case. We entered a very serious financial crisis as soon as there was a surge in multiplexes, and attendance dwindled soon thereafter; in 2004 attendance was around 145 million and today it's down to 78 million. The market shrank in half from 2003 to 2014.
What are the drivers of sustained growth in a market?
Disposable income and purchasing power are very important, as is the cultural environment: a university presence, the number of people living in urban versus rural areas. The quality of an exhibitor's installations is also an influence.
The key factor, however, rests with national film production. Italy has a very healthy production industry; about 30 to 35 percent of the country's annual attendance comes from national films. Germany has good years and not-so-good years, but maintains a consistently good level of quality in its productions. Unfortunately, that is not the case in Spain. Spanish cinema has not been able to attract enough of its own audience.
The current economic crisis is also playing a big role. We used to say that the exhibition business was immune to a country's economic problems. That is no longer the case. People today have more alternatives and the quality of in-home entertainment has grown tremendously. Exhibition will have to completely reinvent itself in order to convince people to leave their homes and watch the same film at the cinema.
Which markets show the most potential for growth?
You have to enter the market when commodities are low and sell when they are high. Spain is at a very low point right now, so I consider it to be a market that can grow again in the future. I think Germany and Italy still have strong potential for growth, too.
I'd approach England with caution. There are a lot of multiplexes being built and they have to be careful not to make the same mistake as Spain, where there were too many screens built in relation to the country's population.
Brazil has grown a great deal. The country has doubled is attendance figures since I arrived there in 1995, and I believe it can continue growing. Every day in Brazil you have more people joining the middle class.
China is an impressive market. I think that it will grow in a tremendous way. The issue there has to do with the business climate, where entering the market can be complicated. There's also great potential for growth in Russia.
What is the situation in Spain?
In Spain you have a combination of several factors. Firstly, Spain should never have tried to reach 145 million spectators. I think the normal figure for Spain is around 100 million.
Why was that estimate so high? Because there was a big real estate boom and a large number of shopping centers were built, and every shopping center had to have its own multiplex.
We have had as many as 4,600 screens in Spain. That is just stupid. The capacity according to the number of people living in Spain should not be more than 2,500 screens. Right now we have 3,800, so I believe there should be even more closures until we get to 2,500, maybe 3,000 tops, but that's pushing it.
The economic crisis is affecting attendance. People have less disposable income and they stay home instead. Pricing is therefore important.
Perhaps the most important factor, however, is piracy. Spain is the most piratical country in Europe and among the most piratical in the world. The culture around piracy in Spain is horrible; even schoolteachers educate with illegally downloaded material. The consumer doesn't see piracy as a bad thing, and that's fatal. There need to be firm laws in place that work against piracy. We also have to educate people to understand that downloading content without paying for it is the same as stealing from Macy's—it's exactly the same thing: you're stealing.
What is the importance of CinemaCon for international companies?
I think that CinemaCon is an important event for any exhibitor that cares about its business and the trends in the marketplace. It's great for networking with people from other countries, learning more about best practices, and seeing the films that will be released in the coming months. It's an event that exhibitors can't afford to miss. CinemaCon isn't only for the North American market anymore; it's a global event.
Craig Dehmel
Senior Vice President, Sales & Strategic Planning
20th Century Fox International
Interview By Daniel Loria
Craig Dehmel had a hard time finding the right position after graduating from a small liberal arts college with a history degree. His grammar skills landed him at an advertising firm based in Burbank, California, where he picked up experience as a theater coordinator between studios and exhibitors.
An MBA from UCLA launched him into a marketing career at Fox, where his analytic and strategic skills eventually led to a position in the sales department. He would go on to work on the international releases of some of the studio's biggest hits of all time, including Avatar, two Ice Age sequels, and Life of Pi.
BoxOffice spoke with Dehmel to discover more about his role at Fox and the company's upcoming slate of films.
Could you tell us about your current role?
I work at the sales and strategic planning department. The sales side is really the sales reporting side. I have a small group of people working with me in L.A., and we keep our systems and box office estimates up to date.
On the planning side, we do the dating for all our films. We come up with estimates of what we think our films are going to do. We do a lot of competitive analysis and analysis on the seasonality of releasing films. We're constantly looking at what genres are working where; which regions work better for certain things; and where the growth is in the business. It's a lot of analysis: looking at the industry landscape and seeing how it's working and changing.
There's a third part, smaller but very important—the sales operations side: managing the digital deployments around the world and making sure that the transition to digital is happening quickly because we're running out of 35 mm stock. Thirty-five millimeter becomes more and more expensive as there is less of a need for it, and that is an issue for us in places that have been slower to transition to digital, those markets usually coincide with less commercial screens for us. If our 35mm print costs are higher but we're only shipping 35mm prints to lower-grossing theaters, we really have a problem. It behooves us that markets transition to digital as quickly and easily as possible so we don't have to do an inventory of our prints. Before it was just sending canisters with films in them, more recently it has been sending hard drives with digital cinema packages, and now we're starting to get into satellite transmission.
Which regions show the most promise in the coming years?
We do very well in Latin America. They are consistently strong performers for us. The biggest problem we have there is that the currencies tend to be unstable, so while we can come out with a great result in the local currency, the grosses can come out taking a beating against the dollar.
Southeast Asia is a strong place for us. Places like Malaysia and Indonesia are strong up-and-coming markets with big populations and there's real promise for growth.
Russia went through a growth in the last decade and it's still growing but not nearly at the same rate as it was. China is obviously the biggest growth market, but you can't get all your films in, so it's very hard to plan when you don't know which films are going to play. We still look at China as a bonus. The Middle East is a strong growth area, Eastern Europe as well.
Even in some of the mature markets you have potential for growth. Australia is a place that continues to do well; it's a strong market with high-frequency moviegoing, so that's a great part for us as well.
Don't get me wrong, we're not down on Western Europe, but like the U.S., it's very mature. The growth there isn't significant from year to year.
Fox is taking a big risk in releasing 'How to Train Your Dragon 2' in Brazil during the World Cup. Can you shed some light on that decision?
It's a huge risk, but the fact is that we have enough years of seeing how films play during European Cups and World Cups to make a judgment call. The decision came down to this: do we push back How to Train Your Dragon 2 to July and go up against, at the time, the latest Fast & Furious and the new Transformers, Guardians of the Galaxy, or our own Planet of the Apes?
There are a lot of big movies this summer and waiting until after the World Cup is over has an air of risk as well. You might not be fighting the World Cup anymore, but you're going up against three or four other films.
The other issue is that holidays are over come the end of the Cup. In South America you have short winter holidays that end in the middle of July, when the World Cup is over. In Brazil they aligned the holidays with the World Cup so people would have time to enjoy the tournament.
What we've seen is that when there aren't games happening, people go to the movies. We expect there will be days when no one will go to the movies during the Cup. On days there are no games, or games that aren't important to people in the region, people will be going to the movies.
And there are still people that aren't really watching the games as fervently. There are going to be parents who feel guilty about keeping the kids at home while they watch all these games. We feel we will have big box office on non-game days and take losses on game days. Going in that window will allow us to make decent box office and we will still be playing when the World Cup is over.
The other factor is that How to Train Your Dragon is a very beloved film; it's not like we're trying to launch a new film or franchise; it's a film people know about. That awareness gives us an opportunity. People are going to need to have something else to do a couple of weeks into the World Cup, and I think we're going to be that alternative.
Could you tell us about your experience overseeing the international release of 'Avatar'?
One of the highlights of my career was reporting the international numbers on Avatar. It's probably one of the most satisfying experiences that I'll ever have in the business.
We were in production for Avatar for four, five years. We knew in 2003 that they were going to make it, and we didn't release it until late 2009, so it took us six years to get it out after I had first heard about it.
Obviously there were a lot of expectations for it. I imagine it was similar to what the team that worked on Titanic went through: a high-pressure atmosphere where you have this very high negative cost and you're not so sure how it's going to do. The tracking wasn't necessarily where we wanted it to be—people weren't so sure about seeing these blue people on film—so it was a bit scary leading up to it. We really believed in the film, the organization got behind it, and the opening weekend did around $150 million internationally, a big number but certainly not the biggest—a lot of films have done that or more.
It turned out to be the movie that people who only go to the movies once every ten years go to see. It was exciting to see how that film captured the imagination of the whole world. I had the fortunate job of getting to report the numbers of that film every Sunday, and it felt gratifying for me to know that there were filmmakers and executives out there that couldn't wait to get an e-mail from me. It felt great being able to deliver the good news since I have to deliver my share of bad news as well.
The 'Ice Age' movies were a huge international hit from Fox. What films on your current slate can do big business internationally?
From a family-film perspective, the first Rio movie was much bigger than our first Ice Age movie. We've got the second Rio coming up now, done by Carlos Saldanha, who also directed some of the Ice Age films for us.
What was interesting about the first Rio is that we released it in the middle of a heat wave in Europe during the spring, so we got hurt a little bit by that relative to how it did in Latin America and other markets. I think this is one of those franchises that will grow exponentially in the same way Ice Age did.
We're also looking forward to Peanuts, which we think has the potential of becoming a big global earner for us.
On the live-action side we have X-Men: Days of Future Past this year and our new Planet of the Apes franchise.
That first Apes film took people by surprise after a disastrous attempt to reboot it earlier. While Rise of the Planet of the Apes wasn't the biggest film of that summer, it grossed over $300 million internationally and was incredibly well liked. I think the new one coming out can be one of the most talked-about films of the summer. We also have Exodus, Ridley Scott's version of the Moses story, coming out around Christmas.
Eddy Duquenne
CEO, Kinepolis Group
Interview By Phil Contrino
Eddy Duquenne took over as CEO of Belgian exhibitor Kinepolis following a successful spell as CEO of Sunparks. Once installed, Duquenne prioritized a new organizational structure in managing cinemas and promoted direct marketing techniques to better understand consumers.
BoxOffice recently spoke with Duquenne to learn about his strategy in making the most of an exhibition chain in a difficult European market.
What were some of the first things you discovered when you transitioned into the exhibition business?
Coming out of the tourism industry, I was amazed by how everyone was talking in terms of tickets and not in terms of customers. When I [became CEO], we immediately set up sales and marketing departments with a focus on introducing direct-marketing techniques. In Europe we have a population growing grayer, so you have less and less youngsters, and I would ask myself about the long-term evolution of cinema, which is clearly not a growth business when paired with the demographics of a population growing grayer.
What was the strategy behind reaching out to consumers directly?
Could we increase frequency knowing the preferences and the taste of each individual customer? For that reason we started introducing CRM techniques, customer-relationship management, and we started pushing online ticket selling and ticket selling through automatic ticket machines. That way you have a digital moment with your customer so you can start identifying who your customer is.
On average we sell 20 million tickets at Kinepolis; we have about 5.5 million unique customers and we have e-mail addresses for 2.4 million of them. [We track] based on their behavior-what they're buying, when they come to the movies, who they come to the movies with. For instance, a transaction with two adults and two children for Frozen on a Sunday afternoon or an individual ticket for Wolf of Wall Street on Friday night can be the same customer but in different circumstances, so we started looking at why [people] come to the movies-which genres they like, which directors, which cast? And based on that, we have been building algorithms that take those three elements into account and are now trying to push new content.
How did you go about restructuring the company's operations?
We have 23 theaters, of which we operate 22 ourselves, and we came to a new organizational structure where we created budget ownership, and now we have someone responsible for box office, someone responsible for in-theater sales, for experience-meaning the cleaning, infrastructure, projection, sound and security-and someone responsible for business to business. On top of that structure we have the theater manager.
We introduced a new management reporting tool where we only highlight those revenues and costs that each of them can have an impact on. We benchmark between the different budget owners throughout the cinemas and find there's always someone who is doing better. Based on their approach, we try to lower our break-even point from year to year and we incentivize them with a bonus system. We try to lower our break-even point by making profit plans based on 5 percent less tickets but resulting in the same bottom line.
What is the role of NATO and CinemaCon for your business?
The basis of our business is simple: we sell a ticket, a bucket of popcorn, and a Coke. But in general it's a difficult business, because there are a lot of elements and trends in the environment-macroeconomic trends, trends in taste, demographic evolutions, Hollywood focusing on the world market rather than on continents, weather impacts in the short term-and it's not always that obvious to know what exactly is happening and what we should anticipate.
And the comparables are difficult in our industry as well, because the product we have from season to season and year to year is always different. That's why it's good to share with others and to understand how they feel and how they see what's happening.
We see that a strong organization like NATO makes sure all the different aspects and trends in the business are covered very well, so it's a huge source of information. And with CinemaCon you can [connect] with a lot of colleagues from the industry and with more and more representatives coming from Asia, Russia, and South America, so you can speak with them. It's an opportunity to meet with the number one's of the majors as well, and it's Las Vegas, so that's always fun.

As a by-product of the character, possibly, but the stoic outsider getting the girl is as cliché and tired today as your lantern jawed hero getting the girl has ever been.
and the basis of more than one TOS episode?
Any Spock / Uhura inference in TOS is lucky coincidence. It's not even something I EVER saw brought up until post Trek XI
There was probably enough Kirk / Uhura interaction in TOS as well if you looked for it. Heck, even the Uhura / Scotty stuff in the movies was BLATANT.

I don't know where to find who was activated today, but I liked seeing sanders inserted more and brown out there as well. I thought i saw randle el fair catch a punt so i guess he was still activated but didn't start?? But then I thought I heard battle's name called on a special teams play. I also liked seeing guys getting pt in the garbage period, as well as redman getting his first td. Worilds I believe had his first nfl sack too, that's always special.
Offensive line.... so mix and matched all day, but I thought it started out w/ essex not in there. I like that move. The guy is such a wretched fat **** I can't stand watching him get beat over and over again. Glad they at least tried to make an adjustment. Did not like seeing kemoeatu scott and pouncey leaving the game. We need to get healthy up front if we are going to have a shot later on in the season.
Spaeth had a catch or two? wtf! now that's really spreading the ball around.
Suisham was ok, glad he got a game to warm up and not have any pressure on him right away. hopefully he continues to just do kick off's and extra points.
heinz field turf is HORRIBLE
special teams was great today, minus the penalties which were ticky tacky. Coverage was good, I think they only had one or two decent returns all day, with ample opportunities.
i wish the ref's would return to the background, where one or two bad calls a week would make the headlines, instead of one or two (or in this game like 10) A GAME in each game. What is going on in the league these days? Putting too much profile on calls being made correctly it's got the ref's completely scared and either not throwing the flag afraid of making a bad call or compensating and throwing the flag too often as to adhere to the new league mandate. Let them go back to being officials and not henchmen for NFL policy. This is getting really bad. If the ref's called todays game in the superbowl it would be a travesty, there would be outrage from all over the nfl. but todays game will be swept under the rug, seymour will get anger management class and a 10k fine. harrison and woodley will get 50 k fines and ryan clark suspended for leaving his feet.
i wish someone on the team would take a shot at the refs by being very coy and mocking, saying they thought they called a great game. you know, jab at em but protect yourself by not saying anything bad against them.
how about farrior's performance today? i admit i was calling for him to be sat last year, thought he was too old...but this guy showed something today. all year he has been pretty terrific. He is always around the ball and stops the run as good as anyone. he's stepped up in smith and keisel's absence. not the greatest in coverage, but i think they have been putting harrison back more instead of farrior, and he's responded by having a cpl sacks and getting to the QB. good for him

yeah, a lot of game balls to go around today, but Farrior was probably game MVP with Wallace and Harrison close seconds.

Re: Line up changes
Just curious... do you guys think Redman should get a few more carries per game? He generally seems to make the most out of the time he has on the field. Just curious. I think he's a pretty good back-up RB and if given a few more carries our running game could see some improvement.

Re: Line up changes
I would prefer too see Redman every third series instead of Moore.

Re: Line up changes
I liked what they were doing with redman at the beginning of the year. It seemed like mendy would get a run or two and then redman came in and picked up the first down. I want to see more of him, the kid has a motor and rarely ever gets caught behind the LOS. He's not a homerun threat but he has decent speed for a power runner, but it's his elusiveness that I like. Moore at this point just needs to catch balls out of the back field on third down.. He had one good grab today on a slant. He doesn't need to be taking handoff's IMO
