Asset Classes Attracting the Most Consumer Complaints
As the ARM industry prepares for 2014, it might help in strategic planning to know which types of debt are attracting the most consumer complaints about debt collection.
Governments of all sizes and locations are owed money. In the U.S. federal government, citizens and businesses typically owe taxes, fines and fees. Consumers can also owe on federally-backed student loans, while businesses can owe on development loans. Several branches of the U.S. government have robust ARM operations, including the IRS and the Department of Education.
On the state and local level, debts to the government can be too many to enumerate. From court fines and fees to sales tax to late parking tickets. An overwhelming majority of U.S. states, and thousands of municipal governments, have used private debt collectors to help recover their debts.
As the ARM industry prepares for 2014, it might help in strategic planning to know which types of debt are attracting the most consumer complaints about debt collection.
MyGovWatch.com, which tracks government and student loan collection services purchasing nationally, is now offering an unprecedented, limited-time promotion for new clients through December 31st. Any company that signs a trial contract to access the website for the month of December will receive three user licenses for the price of one, and the month of December will be free of charge.
Fed Cetera, LLC, today announced the creation of a new performance award for small businesses participating in the U.S. Department of Education (ED) Private Collection Agency (PCA) contract as subcontractors.
Net Gain Marketing, Inc. (NGM) today announced that clients who have outsourced some or all of their requests for proposal (RFP) responses to NGM to pursue public and private sector business opportunities have now earned in excess of $100 million in fees as a result of wins through the RFP process.
Delta Management Associates, Inc. (Delta), a premier provider of tailored recovery solutions to the higher education community, today announced it has opened a fourth center of excellence in Phoenix, Arizona. The new center has been established to support the needs of Delta's rapidly growing client portfolio and will add approximately 150 jobs to the local market.
Account Control Technology, Inc. (ACT), a national leader in delivering debt management and recovery solutions, is pleased to announce that for the second consecutive year the company has been featured in Inc. magazine's Hire Power Awards recognizing the private businesses generating the most jobs.
Pioneer Credit Recovery today announced it has been ranked first by the U.S. Department of the Treasury Bureau of the Fiscal Service for the July through September 2013 quarter on its contract to recover past-due obligations owed to government agencies. In all, the company has been ranked as the top performer 28 times on three contracts, more than any other firm.
Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC), the UK equivalent to the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS), said that the group of private debt collection agencies working on its behalf recovered £464,058,131 ($750.3 million) in back taxes over the first two years of the full implementation of the program.
Last week, I teamed up with renowned industry expert and my good friend Rozanne Andersen to host a webinar focused on trends shaping the ARM industry. We made a number of bold predictions about the future of ARM. I will elaborate on one of them today and I will cover some of the others in future blog posts.
It is commonly accepted in the debt collection industry that a collector cannot, under any circumstances, disclose a debt to a third party. But for government entities, that restriction is not followed. A recent case in Pennsylvania highlighted the pass some groups are given on disclosure.

The growth in popularity across the world of horizontal Software as a Service (SaaS) is a key trend, according to one research analyst.
Robert McNeill, vice president of research at HFS Research, told Computerworld US that he is seeing even core enterprise applications being updated in this way at major organisations.
He claimed that the number of SaaS implementations is on the increase, praising executives such as Guardian Life Insurance chief technology officer Frank Wander for moving towards the cloud in their processes.
Mr McNeill labelled Mr Wander a "real leader", adding: "What's interesting is that he is using SaaS in IT - an area that he controls. He is embracing SaaS as a way of changing the business."
To emphasise the rocketing popularity of SaaS, the online news resource cited a report by research firm Gartner, which predicted that the overall market for such enterprise applications will rise to $23 billion in 2015 - growing at an average of 17.9 per cent per annum.
For users, there are three ingredients necessary for them to want to move across to a new piece of software, according to Cloud Pro blogger Dennis Howlett, who is openly pro-cloud in his writing.
In his opinion, users must see added value, reduced pain and increased enjoyment - otherwise they will automatically be resistant to change. This why SaaS providers must prove beyond doubt how the cloud will benefit operations.

If you're on our mailing list, follow us on Twitter, or like our Facebook page, you might've seen a bit of activity regarding Team Anbassa. So what is it? Team Anbassa (you can find the origin of the name here) is a crazy group of guys riding 306 miles from Monroe, WA to Post Falls, ID between July 9th and 13th. Why? To help a disabled young woman in Ethiopia live her life a little easier. Tsehaynesh Digo is a young woman living in Yirgacheffe, Ethiopia. When she was a child, she contracted polio. This left her without the use of her legs, forcing her to crawl through the dirt using her hands. Despite this, she always has a smile. Through the years we've gotten to know her and help her with her condition. Through the help of one of our partners, she is now able to walk. Right now, she needs a handicap accessible bathroom, kitchen, and a hand peddle bike to get to market (and you can read more here).
Team Anbassa's goal is $6000. This will cover the building and shipping the bike, building the kitchen, building the bathroom, and all of the associated costs. But they can't do it without you!

US Airline Industry
US Airlines: Still in the woods, but out of the 'defaulting on debt covenants' woods
They couldn't have known it at the time, but United Airlines and other U.S. carriers were dealt a lucky break last year when an oil shock made it appear they were headed for bankruptcy.
Overseas rivals, who were shielded from stratospheric fuel costs and the collapse of the U.S. dollar at the time, are now months behind the U.S. airline industry in dealing with the aftereffects of the global economic crisis that started as fuel prices fell, analysts said.
International carriers such as Germany's Lufthansa and Air France-KLM are starting to lay off workers and trim routes as it becomes evident that lucrative international business flying will be depressed for the foreseeable future.
But U.S. airlines are ahead of the game as a result of the steep cuts that carriers started to enact by early summer 2008, when oil seemed headed to $200 a barrel, analysts said.
"It prepared the legacy carriers to dramatically lower costs more than they would have otherwise, and it probably kept a couple of them out of bankruptcy," said Vaughn Cordle, a former airline pilot who is managing partner and chief analyst for AirlineForecasts.
Of course, U.S. airlines still aren't flying clear of the economic turmoil that followed Wall Street's meltdown, analysts said. But benefits from their restructuring are starting to become evident in data released this week by the Bureau of Transportation Statistics.
Chicago-based United Airlines, which cut its workforce more deeply than most of its peers, has seen dramatic improvement in its cost structure, federal data show.
United, a unit of UAL Corp. and the nation's third-largest carrier, cut 5,600 full-time workers, or 11% of its workforce, in the 12 months preceding July 2009. Northwest Airlines Corp. was the only carrier to cut a larger percentage of workers -- 12.5% -- as it was absorbed by merger partner Delta Air Lines Inc.
United's unit costs, a measure of how much it pays to fly passengers, dropped 22% to 12.2 cents per seat mile during the second quarter of 2009, the lowest among network carriers.
The bad news for United: Its revenue, once the highest in the industry, tumbled in proportion to its costs and is now among the lowest of large carriers. Still, United reported a positive operating margin of 4.3% in the second quarter and an operating profit of $172 million, its first such gains in more than a year, BTS data show.
The seven largest U.S. carriers reported an average negative operating margin of 0.5%, according to BTS. That's not exactly robust, although it is a big improvement from the collective 6.3% negative margin the carriers reported during the year-earlier period.
The improved results have sent U.S. airline shares soaring since early July, but analysts caution that a full rebound for U.S. carriers won't occur until 2010 at the earliest.
"They've been poised [to rebound] for years," said Roger King, an airline analyst at CreditSights Inc., noting that carriers have cut tens of billions of dollars since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks without achieving strong earnings. "They're still hurting on fuel, and there's nothing they can do about that. They're hurting on the global economy, and there's nothing they can do about that."
Business travel revenue, a key driver of profit, was down 35% to 40% in July for carriers around the world, the International Air Transport Assn. estimates. The trade group estimates that carriers globally will lose $11 billion in 2009.
"They're still in the woods," said Cordle of U.S. carriers. "But they're out of the 'defaulting on debt covenants' woods."

Ian Keith Movies
Tall, handsome, golden-throated leading man
Ian Keith
became a Broadway favorite in the 1920s. He also pursued a sporadic silent film career, appearing opposite the illustrious likes of
Gloria Swanson
Lon Chaney Sr
. A natural for talkies, Keith appeared in such early sound efforts as
Raoul Walsh
The Big Trail
(1930) and
D.W. Griffith
Abraham Lincoln
(1930) (in which he played John Wilkes Booth). A favorite of
Cecil B. DeMille
, Keith stole the show as the cultured, soft-spoken Saladin in DeMille's
The Crusades
(1935). A rambunctious night life and an inclination towards elbow-bending reduced Keith's stature in Hollywood, and by the mid-1940s he was occasionally obliged to appear in such cheapies as the 1946 "
Bowery Boys
" epic
Mr. Hex

These claimants have all shown up with highly suspicious-looking injuries--and all have been treated by the same doctor. Featured in the cast is veteran actor Ian Keith, who had been portraying charming scoundrels ever since the early-talkie era. Also briefly seen is writer-comedian and longtime Jerry Lewis collaborator Bill Richmond. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Ten Commandments

Add The Ten Commandments to top of Queue
Based on the Holy Scriptures, with additional dialogue by several other hands, The Ten Commandments was the last film directed by Cecil B. DeMille. The story relates the life of Moses, from the time he was discovered in the bullrushes as an infant by the pharoah's daughter, to his long, hard struggle to free the Hebrews from their slavery at the hands of the Egyptians. Moses (Charlton Heston) starts out "in solid" as Pharoah's adopted son (and a whiz at designing pyramids, dispensing such construction-site advice as "Blood makes poor mortar"), but when he discovers his true Hebrew heritage, he attempts to make life easier for his people. Banished by his jealous half-brother Rameses (Yul Brynner), Moses returns fully bearded to Pharoah's court, warning that he's had a message from God and that the Egyptians had better free the Hebrews post-haste if they know what's good for them. Only after the Deadly Plagues have decimated Egypt does Rameses give in. As the Hebrews reach the Red Sea, they discover that Rameses has gone back on his word and plans to have them all killed. But Moses rescues his people with a little Divine legerdemain by parting the Seas. Later, Moses is again confronted by God on Mt. Sinai, who delivers unto him the Ten Commandments. Meanwhile, the Hebrews, led by the duplicitous Dathan (Edward G. Robinson), are forgetting their religion and behaving like libertines. "Where's your Moses now?" brays Dathan in the manner of a Lower East Side gangster. He soon finds out. DeMille's The Ten Commandments may not be the most subtle and sophisticated entertainment ever concocted, but it tells its story with a clarity and vitality that few Biblical scholars have ever been able to duplicate. It is very likely the most eventful 219 minutes ever recorded to film--and who's to say that Nefertiri (Anne Baxter) didn't make speeches like, "Oh, Moses, Moses, you splendid, stubborn, adorable fool"? ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

New York Confidential
New York Confidential is based on the Jack Lait-Lee Mortimer bestseller of the same name. Richard Conte plays Nick Magellan, a "torpedo" for Manhattan crime boss Charlie Lupo (Broderick Crawford). Pleased with Magellan's work, Charlie promotes him to the topmost rungs of the Syndicate. He regrets this act of largesse when the powers-that-be demand that Lupo be rubbed out. . .by good old Magellan. The most fascinating aspect of New York Confidential is that there isn't a sympathetic character in the bunch; even Anne Bancroft as Lupo's maladjusted daughter is a bit on the obnoxious side. The original Lait-Mortimer book was later adapted into a 1958 TV series, starring Lee Tracy. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Add It Came from Beneath the Sea to top of Queue
It Came From Beneath the Sea was the first of several fruitful collaborations between producer Charles H. Schneer and special-effects wizard Ray Harryhausen. "It" is a giant, six-tentacled octopus, which is galvanized into action by an H-bomb test. Worse still, the monster is highly radioactive, rendering useless the normal means of defense against it. Scientists Donald Curtis and Faith Domergue team with atomic-submarine commander Kenneth Tobey to halt the creature's progress before it begins to attack major coastal cities. Alas, the monster manages to reach San Francisco, wreaking havoc on the Golden Gate Bridge, the Ferry Building, and Market Street before Tobey figures out a way to destroy it. The stop-motion animation utilized by Harryhausen in It Came From Beneath Sea is convincingly frightening, but before long he'd top this achievement with such superb projects as Earth vs. Flying Saucers and Seventh Voyage of Sinbad. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Prince of Players
Screenwriter Philip Dunne doubled as director on the elaborate filmed biography Prince of Players. Richard Burton stars as the eminent American tragedian Edwin Booth, whose life and career is thrown into turmoil after his younger brother John Wilkes Booth (John Derek) assassinates Abraham Lincoln. The film begins as the younger Edwin assists his alcoholic, ailing father Junius Brutus Booth (Raymond Massey) during a tour of the American hinterlands. When Junius dies just before a performance, Edwin goes on in his stead, thereby launching his own starring career. In danger of becoming as much of a drunk and carouser as his father, Edwin eventually pulls himself together, but his brother's act of violence turns the audience against the name of Booth. Almost booed offstage during a performance of Hamlet, Edwin stands his ground, finally earning the respect of his rowdy audience. Not exactly packed with fast action, Prince of Players will appeal most to lovers of theater in general and Shakespeare in particular. Highlight: Richard Burton and Eva LeGalleine performing the balcony scene from Romeo and Juliet in the courtyard of a brothel. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Duel on the Mississippi
19th century Louisiana is the setting for Duel on the Mississippi. Patricia Medina stars as Lili Scarlet, a vengeful Creole girl who masterminds a series of pirate raids on the local plantations. To cover up her perfidy, Lili operates a lavish gambling ship, and it is here that aristocratic Jules Tulane (John Dehner) runs up a huge debt. As "security", Jules' son Andre (Lex Barker) turns himself over to Lili as a sort of bond slave. It doesn't take long for Andre and Lili to fall in love, much to the dismay of her knife-wielding paramour Hugo Marat (Warren Stevens). The titular duel between Andre and Hugo, fought with machetes, is the film's most exciting sequence. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Black Shield of Falworth
Tony Curtis always seemed a little uncomfortable in costume epics, but this trait serves him well in Black Shield of Falworth. Based on the robust novel Men of Iron by Howard Pyle, the film casts Curtis as Miles, the son of a disgraced knight. Through the sponsorship of the Earl of Mackworth Herbert Marshall, Miles is trained for knighthood, an arduous process that earns him the ridicule of his fellow trainees, who regard him as little better than a peasant. Eventually, Miles proves his mettle by squelching a plan to oust King Henry IV Ian Keith from the throne of England. On a more personal level, Miles carries on a romance with Mackworth's daughter Lady Anne Janet Leigh, while Miles' sister Meg Barbara Rush finds happiness in the arms of knight-in-training Francis Gascoyne Craig Hill. The heavy of the piece is the Earl of Alban David Farrar, whom Miles must ultimately face down in a well-directed climactic set-to. Torin Thatcher, who'd previously costarred with Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh in Houdini, delivers another topnotch characterization as the no-nonsense trainer of Miles and his fellow aspirant knights. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The third talkie version of Dumas' The Three Musketeers, this splashy MGM adaptation is also the first version in Technicolor. Gene Kelly romps his way through the role of D'Artagnan, the upstart cadet who joins veteran Musketeers Athos (Van Heflin), Porthos (Gig Young) and Aramis (Robert Coote) in their efforts to save their beloved Queen Anne (Angela Lansbury) from disgrace. They are aided in their efforts by the lovely and loyal Constance (June Allyson), while the villainy is in the capable hands of Milady De Winter (Lana Turner) and Richelieu (Vincent Price). Notice we don't say Cardinal Richelieu: anxious not to offend anyone, MGM removed the religious angle from the Cardinal's character. While early sound versions of Three Musketeers eliminated the deaths of Constance and Milady, this adaptation telescopes the novel's events to allow for these tragedies. True to form, MGM saw to it that Lana Turner, as Milady, was dressed to the nines and heavily bejeweled for her beheading sequence. Portions of the 1948 Three Musketeers, in black and white, showed up in the silent film-within-a-film in 1952's Singin' in the Rain, which of course also starred Gene Kelly. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Ralph Byrd returns to the character he had originated ten years earlier in the serial Dick Tracy. This time, Chester Gould's immortal comic strip hero is called in to handle a fur theft. The owner of Flawless Furs, Humphreys (Charles Marsh), has just signed on with the Honesty Insurance Company whose investigator, Cudd (Al Bridge), made him change the combination to the vault. The insurance policy --as the head of Honesty, Peter Premium (William B. Davidson), explains -- holds the company liable if the stolen furs haven't been recovered within 24 hours of the theft. The trail leads to Longshot Lily (Bernadene Hayes), a would-be fence who is promptly arrested. But when Tracy's snitch, Sightless (Jimmy Conlin), is found brutally murdered, the detective realizes that he has more than a simple fur theft on his hands. With the help of master thespian Vitamin Flintheart (Ian Keith) and ever-present sidekick Pat Patton (Lyle Latell), Tracy follows a series of clues that leads him to a deserted junkyard and a fateful confrontation with fiendish killer "the Claw" (Jack Lambert). Dick Tracy's Dilemma was followed by Dick Tracy Meets Gruesome (1947), after which RKO retired the series. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, Rovi

Forever Amber
They said it couldn't be done, but they did it: Kathleen Winsor's "notorious", bestselling bodice-ripper Forever Amber actually made it to the screen in 1947 with full censorial approval. Of course, it was necessary to tone down the more erotic passages of Winsor's novel, but the end result pleased fans of the book and bluenosed nonfans alike. A last-minute replacement for British import Peggy Cummins, Linda Darnell steps into the role of 17th century blonde bed-hopper Amber as though she'd been born to play it. Feeling suppressed by her Puritan upbringing, Amber heads to London, finding considerable success as a courtesan (that's the polite word for it). The first real love of her life is dashing soldier Bruce Carlton, who leaves her pregnant and penniless when he marches off to war. Subsequent amours include the sadistic Earl of Radcliffe (a superbly loathsome performance by comic actor Richard Haydn), handsome highwayman Black Jack Mallard (John Russell) and privateer Captain Rex Morgan (Glenn Langan). Surviving the Plague and the Great London Fire with nary a hair out of place, Amber ends up in the arms of no less than King Charles II (wittily portrayed by George Sanders), but true love, as personified by Bruce Carlton, will always elude her. Taking no chances, 20th Century-Fox sent out Forever Amber with a spoken prologue, heard over the opening credits, which explained that the film in no way endorsed its heroine's libertine behavior, and that she would be amply punished for her sins before fadeout time (that prologue has thankfully been removed from current prints). A model of restraint by today's standards, Forever Amber was sufficiently titillating in 1947 to post an enormous profit, far in excess of its $4 million budget. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Border Feud
Despite the producer claiming Border Feud to be a "New PRC Picture," this Western is essentially the same old wheeze that the studio had been trotting out for years. The one where Marshal Cheyenne Davis (Lash LaRue) assumes the identity of a hired gun, The Tiger, whom nobody in town has actually met. The crooked saloon owner, Barton (Bob Duncan), is fanning the flames of a feud between warring mining families in the hopes of grabbing the Blue Girl gold mine for his mystery boss. With the help of the local sheriff -- none other than old friend Fuzzy Q. Jones (Al St. John), whom everybody insists is "quite capable" despite appearances to the contrary -- Cheyenne not only quells the feud but also manages to unmask the brain behind the troubles, the local doctor (Ian Keith). For the record: LaRue cracks his trademark whip twice in Border Feud. ~ Hans J. Wollstein, Rovi

Nightmare Alley is the sordid tale of a conniving young man who, in the words of one of the film's supporting characters, ends up low because he aimed so high. Drifter Tyrone Power sweet-talks his way into a job as barker for a rundown carnival. He is fascinated by an illegal side-show attraction called "The Geek," a near-lunatic who bites the heads off live chickens and then is "paid off" with a cheap bottle of rotgut and a warm place to sleep it off. Otherwise, Power's attention is focussed on a beautiful if slightly stupid carnival performer (Coleen Gray) who works in an "electricity" act with an equally dense strongman (Mike Mazurki). Power also befriends an alcoholic mentalist (Ian Keith), who demonstrates how easy it is to fool an audience into thinking that his mind reading is genuine. When the mentalist dies after accidentally drinking wood alcohol, Power works his way into the confidence of the performer's widow (Joan Blondell), who teaches Power all the tricks and code words of the mind-reading racket. Power walks out on Blondell in favor of Cathy Downs, who marries him and becomes his partner in a classy nightclub mentalist act. But Power is dissatisfied with show business, and with the help of a beautiful but shifty psychiatrist (Helen Walker) he convinces several wealthy people that he can communicate with their dead loved ones...for a price. One elderly millionaire (Taylor Holmes) offers Power a fortune if he can conjure up the spirit of the millionaire's dead daughter. Power enlists his wife to impersonate the deceased girl, but at the crucial moment she has an attack of conscience and exposes the fraud. His career ruined, Power goes to the crooked psychiatrist for help, but she laughs in his face and calls the cops. He escapes the law by going on the bum, and before long is a drunken derelict. When he approaches a carnival for work, he is told that there is only one job open...as a "geek." When asked if he wants the job, the defeated Power replies "Mister, I was born for it." Based on a lurid bestseller by William Lindsay Gresham, Nightmare Alley was Tyrone Power's attempt to break away from romantic leads in favor of roles with more substance. The picture wasn't a success, but it proved that Power was more than just a pretty face. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Morgan Conway made his final screen appearance as Chester Gould's granite-jawed detective Dick Tracy in this RKO Radio programmer. This time around, Tracy's nemesis is baldheaded jewel thief Cueball, played with blunt menace by Dick Wessel. Double-crossed by his gang, Cueball methodically bumps them off. This would normally delight the cops, who'd been wanting to get rid of the gang anyway, but unfortunately Cueball has vowed to eliminate Tracy as well. The villain's ultimate demise is as good as anything cooked up by Chester Gould for the comic strips. Directed and written in the same larger-than-life style of the Gould original, Dick Tracy vs. Cueball features such colorful characters as Tracy's main squeeze Tess Trueheart (Anne Jeffreys), pill-popping ham actor Vitamin Flintheart (Ian Keith), waterfront hag Filthy Flora (Esther Howard) and jewelry shop proprietor Jules Priceless (Douglas Walton). For reasons that defy explanation, this delightfully daffy concoction was spotlighted in the notorious volume The Fifty Worst Films of All Time. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Strange Woman
B-movie auteur Edgar G. Ulmer managed to direct a few A-pictures during his long career; he was personally selected by Hedy Lamarr to helm this big-budget thriller, a project she put together to change her image as a starlet whose sex appeal outweighed her acting abilities. Set in the early 19th century, The Strange Woman takes place in Bangor, Maine, where logging and lumber mills have made the town prosperous. Jenny Hager (Lamarr) has grown up in Bangor, not far from the watchful eye of wealthy Isaiah Poster (Gene Lockhart). The fact that Jenny is twenty years Isaiah's junior does not stem his amorous intentions, and when she's finally out of her teens, Jenny accepts his proposal of marriage. But beneath her sweet exterior, Jenny is a shrewd, conniving women, and while she makes a fine life for herself with Isaiah's money, she obviously doesn't care for him. When Isaiah's son Ephraim (Louis Hayward) visits from college, Jenny is immediately attracted to him, and she tells him that she'll marry him if he murders his father. But, unknown to Ephraim, Jenny is already scheming to win the affections of businessman John Evered (George Sanders), even though he's pledged to marry her best friend Meg (Hillary Brooke). Based on a novel by Ben Ames Williams, The Strange Woman was generally considered one of Hedy Lamarr's best performances, although her best-known performance would continue to be in Ecstasy (1933), largely because of her then-daring nude scenes. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Valley of the Zombies
There's no "valley" in Valley of the Zombies, and only one "zombie," played with relish by Ian Keith. At large in a great metropolitan city, Ormand Murks (Keith), recently brought back from the dead, goes on the prowl for human blood, meaning that he's less of a zombie than a vampire (a phenomenon which he "explains" halfway through the picture). He spends most of his time murderously settling scores with old enemies, drawing the attention of police lieutenant Blair (Thomas Jackson), who like Murks seems well-past retirement age. Suspected of committing the murders, doctor's assistant Terry Evans (Robert Livingston) takes it upon himself to track down Murks, with the aid of pretty nurse Susan Drake (Adrian Booth). The ultimate fate of the so-called zombie is given away by the artwork in the film's opening credits. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Produced by Gower Gulch maverick Robert L. Lippert and filmed in not-so-glorious two-strip Cinecolor near Idyllwild, California, this Northwest Mounted melodrama starred the veteran Bob Steele as a rather surly mountie who, against his own better judgment, is persuaded to escort a patronizing Eastern girl (Joan Woodbury through the wilderness to her uncle's logging camp. Constantly bickering with her guide, the girl is carrying $20,000 in her purse, payroll money which is promptly stolen. At the logging camp, Steele runs into trouble with the local sergeant, Means (John Litel), who may not be all he appears to be, a wife-beating saloon-keeper (George Meeker, and sundry other more or less mysterious persons, most of whom were aware of Miss Woodbury's travel plans. Steele, who was nearing the end of his starring career (four Grade-Z Westerns were to come), also headlined Wildfire (1945), another Cinecolor "experiment" for Lippert's Action Pictures. Northwest Trail, however, was all but stolen by Miss Woodbury, whose feisty character made up for Steele's aging inertia. Troubled silent star Madge Bellamy made her final screen appearances as the mistreated wife of the saloon proprietor and real-life circus performer Poodles Hanneford played himself Like so many low-budget mountie melodramas, this one implied a non-existent connection to pulp writer James Oliver Curwood. ~ Hans J.

Mr. Hex
Mr. Hex was the first Bowery Boys epic in which the goofy Sach (Huntz Hall) is given superhuman powers. Hypnotized by a carnival magician (Ian Keith), Sach becomes a powerful boxer. Head Bowery boy Slip (Leo Gorcey) parlays this talent into a lucrative ring career for Sach, culminating in the championship bout. A gangster (Ben Welden) learns Sach's secret and hires his own hypnotist to put the "whammy" on the would-be champ. The fantastic elements of the story come crashing to earth when Sach's pal Gabe (Gabriel Dell) is shot by the gangster, but all ends sappily ever after. Mr. Hex was the fourth in Monogram's "Bowery Boys" series. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Predating 20th Century-Fox's Somewhere in the Night by at least a year, Identity Unknown is one of the first (if not the first) 1940s melodramas centering around an amenisiac ex-GI. Richard Arlen plays Johnny March, who returns from WW2 with nary a clue as to his true identity or the details of his past. March begins a long and arduous trek across America, visiting a wide variety of people who've lost loved ones in the war, in hopes of piecing together his own previous existence. In the manner of The Fugitive, March profoundly affects the lives of everyone he meets, helping them understand what the sacrifices of the war were all about and enabling them to face the future with optimism and pride. Though it may have been merely coincidental, Identity Unknown was released around the same time that the United Nations' first San Francisco Conference was about to convene. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

It's every man for himself when Charles Laughton bites into the role of infamous 17th century pirate captain William Kidd. Hoping to further increase his ill-gotten gains, Captain Kidd inveigles King William III (Henry Daniel) into appointing him the "patriotic" protector of a valuable treasure ship. Ostensibly hired to fend off enemy vessels, Kidd intends to steal the ship's cargo for himself with the aid of his swarthy lieutenants William Moore (Gilbert Roland) and Orange Povy (John Carradine). The romantic subplot is carried by "honest" brigand Adam Merry (Randolph Scott) and kidnapped noblewoman Lady Ann Falconer (Barbara Britton). Charles Laughton reprised his part in the 1952 farce Abbott and Costello Meet Captain Kidd. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Song of Old Wyoming
Statehood for Wyoming became the weighty focal point in this very low-budget music Western from poverty row company PRC, which served to introduce Eddie Dean as the company's newest singing cowboy. Old Ma Conway (Sarah Padden) champions statehood for Wyoming, believing the measure would put an end to the territory's lawlessness; but the elderly woman is opposed by cattle buyer and tax assessor Lee Landow (Ian Keith and greedy banker Dixon (Robert Barron). When Ma offers her opinion in a newspaper article, Landow sends his henchman Ringo (Rocky Camron) to put the fear of God in the woman. Ranch foreman Eddie Reed (Dean) is outraged, and after warbling such Western ditties as "My Herdin' Song" and "Wild Prairie Rose" to Vicky (Jennifer Holt), Ma's foster-daughter, the cowboy takes matters into his own hand. At first he is aided by a mysterious stranger, "The Cheyenne Kid" (Lash LaRue making his Western debut), but this black-clad rider proves to be a wolf in wolf's clothing, who is in cahoots with Ringo. A former National Barn Dance crooner, the rather homely Dean had been bouncing around Hollywood since 1936, writing prairie ballads and supporting Western stars such as Ken Maynard and George Houston. ~ Hans J.

Under Western Skies
One of the last of Universal's "pocket" musicals, Under Western Skies packs a surplus of entertainment value into its brief 57 minutes. Martha O'Driscoll plays Katie, the daughter of travelling showman Willie (Leon Errol). While playing an engagement in a wild-and-wooly Arizona town, Katie runs afoul of a group of bluenoses who harbor a low opinion of show folk. Denied access to the local music hall, the troupe pitches camp at the saloon owned by King Randall (Leo Carrillo). When it turns out the Randall is the head of an outlaw gang, Katie and friends are rescued by shy schoolteacher Tod (Noah Beery Jr.), who happens to be a crack shot! Among the performers in Willie's entourage is the venerable vaudeville team of Al Shaw and Sam Lee, whose routines are older than dirt and just about as funny. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

The Spanish Main
RKO Radio's first film in the three-color Technicolor process was the standard-issue swashbuckler The Spanish Main. Paul Henried is his usual stoic self as Laurent Van Horn, a Dutch sea captain shipwrecked on the coast of Cartagena, a Spanish-held island. Sentenced to be hanged, Van Horn and his crew escape from jail and take up piracy as revenge against Spain. Soon afterward, they capture a ship carrying Francisca (Maureen O'Hara), the fiance of Cartagena's corrupt governor Don Alvarado (Walter Slezak). Van Horn vengefully forces Francisca to marry him instead, which causes dissension at the Pirate colony of Tortuga. Naturally, Van Horn and Francisca eventually fall in love with each other, but the bad guys must be vanquished before a happy ending can be realized. Binnie Barnes steals the show as feisty female buccaneer Anne Bonney (who in real life looked less like Barnes and more like Walter Slezak!) The script is a cynical melange of pirate-movie cliches and the performances are generally routine, but The Spanish Main pleased the crowd in 1945, posting a profit of nearly $1.5 million and encouraging future Technicolor adventure films from RKO. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

An early low-budget spin on Ten Little Indians, this cheap but entertaining PRC production features a wonderful cast of familiar B-movie faces, particularly George Zucco and Lionel Atwill. Zucco plays a man wrongfully imprisoned after being framed for his wife's murder by one of his colleagues. After his release, he joins forces with a mad inventor to carry out his long-awaited plans of revenge, inviting a group of his former associates to a remote island mansion -- which is enveloped in a thick perpetual fog and rigged with a plethora of lethal booby-traps -- in an effort to reveal and destroy the guilty party. Rather cheap-looking but boasting some remarkable special effects, this film is worth a look for its pairing of the wonderfully hammy Atwill and Zucco. ~ Cavett Binion, Rovi

She Gets Her Man
Joan Davis, the daughter of a famed woman detective, has inherited none of her mother's deductive prowess. Nonetheless, Joan teams with patrolman Leon Errol to solve a series of blowgun murders. The two erstwhile Sherlocks track down the alleged murder weapon to a theatre, where it is being used as a prop in a play. After disrupting the performance, Davis determines that the murders weren't committed by blowgun, and that the culprit is a mild-mannered gentleman to whom murder is a "hobby." The title She Gets Her Man clues us in on the finale, and also refers to the shaky but affectionate relationship between Joan Davis and Leon Errol. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Ugh....Dry Skin Question
Hi All,
I am having a problem. I need some advice on what to do about my face cleanser. I have dry skin in my T-Zone and Forehead and then you move to my chin and it is breaking out. My skin has never done this. How should I cleanse? Should I use a moisturizing cleanser on my T-Zone/Forehead, then use an acne oil free cleanser on my chin? Or just use one cleanser all over and if so which one? Please help.

Oh Stu, have fun exploring. But I warn you, it will never be enough. We spent three months travelling South Africa a few years ago, and have just finished another three-month stint travelling further afield in Southern and Central Africa. We got back a month ago and are already planning the next three-month trip! Nothing like a bout of gypsying to make you even more restless; I envy you your year or more!
Roxanne, very true I am starting to become aware of the elephant in the room regarding how to end a journey and well I think I just keep going … Forever! Seems the only logical solution
Thanks for the comment. Hope your next trip is awesome
LOVE this Stu Cooper..and well timed for me. About to be homeless and travelling too, from October! Gutsy I might add, now that I am a week and a half away from not knowing where my head will rest at night. Love the pic!

I haven't looked at this particular ruleset yet, but a score of zero usually means "don't run the test" But "pass" truly is meaningless, so not bothering with that specific test does make some sense. "fail" is the only hard result that means anything.

A penniless opera. A farce coupled with a fable. In this musical theatre that is cheerfully scathing, a band of unbridled actors, singers and dancers presents a peasant wedding that borrows from sources varying from Brecht to Emir Kusturica by way of cabaret, theatre, popular fairs and festivals. Freely blending songs and folk tunes from the great Magyar tradition, as well as Gypsy, Jewish, Serbian and Armenian musical traditions, L'opéra paysan tells the story of parents seeking for their daughter a good match – a station master with some land the father covets. It hijacks the form of baroque opera to present a radioscopy of Hungarian society and its theatrical and family traditions. This sardonic and entertaining theatre is the work of an actor, playwright and director making waves on the theatre scene in Hungary – Béla Pintér.
"This is ensemble theatre to perfection. They are all very strong and captivating performers with no individual more outstanding than any other. The irony and satire is underlined by the serious committed portrayal of each of the characters. (…) The company is regarded as one of Hungarian's most original and distinctive independent companies"
Theatre in Wales, 2004
"Writer-director-actor Béla Pintér occupies a unique role as impresario in Budapest's alternative theatre scene. His signature blend of music and movement, traditional and modern theatre techniques makes each of his one-act shows an unpredictable and memorable experience."
Hungarian Literature Online, 2007

If Your Hair is Straight & Fine
THE CUT A long bob with blunt ends that are snipped shorter in the back makes fine strands look full and dense. "Longer pieces around the face give the cut versatility, allowing you to play with updos," says Knightley's stylist, Ben Skervin.
STYLING SECRET The part is central to this style, so place it where it will best frame your face: In the middle it creates the illusion of length for square or round faces; to the side it offsets long or oval shapes.
SHORTCUT TO GORGEOUS When hair is still damp, run a drop of gel from roots to ends and tuck strands behind your ears. "The look is quite sleek at first, but as it dries you get a nice bend in the front," says Skervin.

Today, class, we're going to be exploring not one, but two, new, useful concepts that have arisen from the innermost workings of the PNN Laboratory: The Term-Switch and the TDH Frequency.
It is my hope that these discoveries will serve to clarify that most confusing of relationships, that between the shadchan and the victim...oops, I mean the individual to be redt.
The term-switch is fairly self-explanatory. Observe the following exchange:
"So...is she pretty?"
"Yes, she is VERY cute!"
Now, prior to reading this post, you might have thought to yourself, "Wow! Not only is she cute, she's 'VERY cute'! Score!" However, this shadchan was employing "The Term-Switch" perfectly. This is quite an advanced shadchan tactic, so don't feel bad if you missed it. You'll notice that instead of answering whether or not the girl is pretty, she has answered with a completely different phrase, "cute". It's irrelevant that she answered "yes" as she subsequently felt the need to modify this answer with an entirely different word. This is an excellent sign that the girl might not fit the standard description of "pretty". (It's a topic for another post, but cute is a tricky word in that it can describe both appearance and personality.)
Another example:
"So, is he in good shape?"
"Oh, yes, he's very tall."
That's right, you caught it, Term-Switch! He may be very tall, but it's a pretty good bet that he likes his donuts.
The second concept is a slightly more difficult one to explain in the written medium, but I'm going to give it a shot. It was discovered by my wonderful apartment-mate, Tall-Dark-and-Handsome (TDH) and is thus named the TDH Frequency.
You will notice, that a tremendous amount of information is conveyed by the way we say things, sometimes as much as is conveyed by the words we use. TDH pointed out that it was often possible to determine the honesty of a shadchan's comments by the frequency of her voice. At first I didn't quite believe him, but experience has proven it to be true.
When a shadchan is describing a pretty girl as pretty, the frequency of her voice lowers and she says the words more slowly. "She's very pretty" (Deep voice). However, when a shadchan is describing a less-pretty girl as pretty, she generally adopts a higher-pitched voice and speaks more quickly. "She's pretty." (High voice).
Try it yourself. Pretend that you're trying to set up someone with a friend of yours, and he asks you whether they're pretty. Now, answer that question out loud regarding Hillary Clinton and then Charlize Theron and hear the difference in your voice. Did you catch that?
Now that you know about the Term-Switch and the TDH Frequency, you are a more knowledgeable consumer/dater and will now have an improved relationship and more accurate communication with your local shadchan. Go forth and put your new awareness to work!

Synopsis: The adventures of Dorothy and the Wizard in the magical land of Oz, with their Friends Zeb Hugson, Eureka The Kitten, And Jim The Cab-horse.
About The Author: Lyman Frank Baum (May 15, 1856 – May 6, 1919) was an American author of children's books, best known for writing The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. He wrote thirteen novel sequels, nine other fantasy novels, and a host of other works (55 novels in total, plus four "lost" novels), 82 short stories, over 200 poems, an unknown number of scripts, and many miscellaneous writings), and made numerous attempts to bring his works to the stage and screen. His works predicted such century-later commonplaces as television, laptop computers (The Master Key), wireless telephones (Tik-Tok of Oz), women in high risk, action-heavy occupations (Mary Louise in the Country), and the ubiquity of advertising on clothing (Aunt Jane's Nieces at Work).
Literary: Baum's avowed intentions with the Oz books, and other fairy tales, was to tell such tales as the Brothers Grimm and Hans Christian Andersen told, bringing them up to date by making the characters not stereotypical dwarfs or genies, and by removing both the violence and the moral to which the violence was to point. Although the first books contained a fair amount of violence, it decreased with the series; in The Emerald City of Oz, Ozma objected to doing violence even to the Nomes who threaten Oz with invasion. His introduction is often cited as the beginnings of the sanitization of children's stories, although he did not do a great deal more than eliminate harsh moral lessons. His stories still include decapitations, eye removals, maimings of all kinds, and other violent acts, but the tone is very different from Grimm or Andersen.
Another traditional element that Baum intentionally omitted was the emphasis on romance. He considered romantic love to be uninteresting for young children, as well as largely incomprehensible. In The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, the only element of romance lay in the backstory of the Tin Woodman and his love Nimmie Amee, which explains his condition and does not otherwise affect the tale, and that of Gayelette and the enchantment of the Winged Monkeys; the only other stories with such elements were The Scarecrow of Oz and Tik-Tok of Oz, both based on dramatizations, which Baum regarded warily until his readers accepted them.

Sherlock: My Solution to the Problem Posed
Posted By Kathleen David on May 21, 2012
Last night on our PBS station the episode entitled The Reichenbach Fall from the Steven Moffat's series Sherlock aired. And, as promised many months ago, I said I would give you my solution to the mystery presented.
This will be behind the cut and I am allowing for spoilers and speculation in the comments. So you have been warned.
A few thoughts on the very short season presented to us. They picked the most famous stories out of the Holmes' cannon to play off of. The Irene Adler episode was, for the most part, pitch perfect both in story and acting. I had a few quibbles but over all it was quite fun and the ending had a lot of fans either happy or sad. The Hounds of the Baskerville did show how you could take an old story and make it fit into the world today with not much change except bringing modern tech into it.
Of the three I did like Reichenbach the best but then there was Moriarty in that one and they found a jewel in Andrew Scott to play Moriarty much differently than cannon lore but really very much in the vein of the original. And then there was the end which was brilliant and heart breaking all at the same time.
Skipping to the end with going back to point out things that they set up.
What does Watson see? He sees Holmes fall and then comes around a building to see his friend laying face down bloody on the pavement. He checks Holmes' pulse but gets nothing. So he assumes that he has seen the death of his friend. The assassins are given the stand down order because someone else watching (Moran is my guess since he was at the Falls in the original).
The checking of the pulse seems to be a big sticking point for many. Some say that Watson was still recovering from the bicycle hit (more on that later) and that he was not in his full faculties since he had just seen his friend jump off a building. I'll give you a simpler explanation with was set up earlier in the episode. Remember when Sherlock was sitting in the lab bouncing a rubber ball? There is an old magician's trick that you need a small rubber ball for. You put it tightly in the armpit and squeeze. It stops the pulse in your arm because you are putting pressure on a major artery. So it looks like you have no pulse. Notice Watson ONLY check the wrist.
How did he survive the fall? Well I can tell you that it is not Moriarty's body that goes over. It is Holmes. From Watson's point of view he sees his friend fall off the roof. Now notice that there is a building between Holmes and Watson. Also if you look quick there is a lorry (truck) with a canvas cover that pulls away as Watson gets over to Holmes. You can see it when Holmes and Moriarty look over the end together (more on that later). So he hit the canvas and then got help to the pavement.
Sherlock had to have an accomplice in all this or rather accomplices. First and foremost would be Molly Hooper. Remember the conversation between her and Holmes while he is bouncing the little rubber ball? Who would have access to blood to be poured out on the street? Who could set up the paramedics taking Holmes away by given them uniforms? Sherlock had Molly help him all the way with this charade. Also remember when Moriarty commented "Quite a crowd gathering" when they both looked over the edge? Who was gathering there? Looked like a bunch of Irregulars to me. There is nothing saying that the Baker Street Irregulars have to be children. I think the bicyclist who crashes into Watson slowing him down to getting to Holmes is one. I think that the "paramedics" are as well. It is a coordinated effort to get Holmes out of there pronto.
So there is my theory as to how he did it. I think we have to wait until 2014 to find out what "really" happened.
I am grateful that this Short Season was so much fun.
3 Responses to "Sherlock: My Solution to the Problem Posed"
Also, I don't believe that Moriarity is dead, either! He put a bullet in his mouth, and the only evidence of a wound is a little blood from the back of his head. From that size weapon, the back of his head should have been removed! Sherlock realized, however, that he didn't have time to play with Jim, that the hitmen were ready and in place. He needed to stop them, and there was only one signal that he could give that would do the job…
Great Break down.
We have already established the new "Irregulars"–they are the people Sherlock calls the "homeless network". In the 21st Century they are indeed the closest equivalent to the street urchins who made up Doyle's irregulars.

I'm disappointed that the Eagle has not offered any follow-up articles on this very important matter. Surely, members of our City Council have opinions on "orders" Mr. Riviere gave city staff to report to Collier County for duty in the future. The May 25th issue of the Eagle stated, "Marco Island City Manager Jim Riviere met with staff and explained a new collaboration he worked out with Collier County's building department. The island's four inspectors will become county employees working with a pooled staff that serves all of Collier County."
The article also stated, "Riviere said before his time as city manager, Community Development Director Steve Olmsted promised to cross-train inspectors rather than compartmentalize them into their respective fields. Riviere said he didn't make good on that promise. Olmsted was fired one week after Riviere became city manager." If the quote accurately portrays Mr. Riviere's position then hasn't he failed too? Mr. Olmsted was fired 2-years ago. Why hasn't Mr. Riviere insured the cross training occurred on his watch? He has had two years to complete that cross training, hasn't he? Wasn't that his goal?
I truly believe Mr. Riviere is set on dissolving City government step by step, inch by inch, department by department. That is where the due process comes in. Mr. Riviere is responsible for seeing that major decisions, like the one he already made, is presented in public forums so the public can be part of the "due process".
Steve Thompson was appropriately reprimanded and ultimately terminated when he failed to be transparent with the public and City Council. How is it that Mr. Riviere isn't required to meet the same performance standard? It is evident to many who work periodically or frequently with City Hall that he leads with his ego and rational process comes later. The morale at City Hall for many staffers is low because they fear Riviere and his next "collaboration" where he intentionally excludes Marco Islanders, the people he works for, from the table.
Again, I believe Marco Island deserves a City Manager who can competently lead our city; someone who can "build" our community into the happy and friendly place community it once was.

9:09am Thursday 11th April 2013
By Simon Farr
THE Prime Minister has assured a council leader that a tunnel alternative will be included in an HS2 environmental impact consultation.
David Cameron confirmed the Chiltern Ridges Action Group's (CRAG) suggestion for an underground tunnel through the Chilterns would be included in HS2 Ltd's Environmental Impact Assessment consultation.
Chiltern District Council Leader Councillor Nick Rose told Full Council on Tuesday that he had written to the PM to ask if the option would be included in the paper, which is expected to go out later this year. Cllr Rose received the reply last week.
CRAG teamed up with engineers Peter Brett Associates and The Conserve the Chilterns and Countryside group to draw up the tunnel proposals.
The idea is to bore a tunnel from the Amersham area to a point near Wendover in a bid to protect the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
CDC councillors wrote to the BFP in February urging the government to re-consider the CRAG tunnel option after it was initially rejected.
They wrote: "HS2 Ltd's most recent decision to rule out the specific CRAG tunnel with a gap at either Mantles Wood or Wendover Dean proposal on grounds of cost, is symptomatic of the dismissive way in which they are dealing with AONB issues.
"This has to end. The wider costs to society must be taken into account, including landscape value, not only the costs of construction.
"We are calling upon HS2 Ltd to include tunnel options within the EIA and for our MP to lobby for the extra money that is required to protect the AONB in the event that this awful scheme proceeds.
"That is the very least that they can do if the Government is serious about protecting this nationally-important environment."
