Graham‘s got a friend, Christie McRae, who has an Art Show Opening called ALTERNATE REALITIES tomorrow night at the Bump ‘N Grind Cafe at 916 Commercial Drive. He says be certain to be there, because there’s going to be a DJ and free shots of espresso. He really leaned on mentioning the espresso, so it must be tasty.
Also, Graham and I are hosting Sunday Tea tm this Sunday, so come visit, bitches. I have been cocooned, I need to see your scrubbed faces to remember you exist.
This week’s been full of music and strange adventure. Jon Bartlett lent me Mervyn Peake’s first book, for one, Lung and I went to a porn theater, (which was a far more unpleasant experience than we’d supposed), my mother sang with the Now Orchestra for the improv Metropolis soundtrack for Eye of Newt’s Silent In The Park series, I’ve installed an angel in my house, and begun a drawer of personal goods at Oliver’s. There’s more, but trying to remember everything is like trying to read text in a photograph damaged by salt.
So last we heard, our girl Friday is sitting outside a backpackers hostel, waiting for Esme to come rescue her from the appalling chance that one of her exes, who is now filthy homeless junkie upon the streets of Victoria, may come upon her and attempt to molest her person. American Brand Fear. She’s sitting with her book, appalled at how much she’s read already, and beginning to worry about her phonecall. She only had a moment, did she convey everything needed?
Esme was only late because parking was hard to find. The cafe was nice, (though it’s the only place anyone’s tried to pick me up by telling me that they’re an astrologer), the music not terrible, (Nicholas was playing in a corner that was pretending to be a stage with two friendly middle-aged men), and the drink Esme bought me was delicious, a mixture of hot chocolate and chai I rather liked. It was a fund-raiser of some sort, likely for a cat. A good welcome easy to slide away from.
After we went to a velvety restaurant that floated Goldfrapp softly over a crowd of beautiful people, but it was too late in pretty little Victoria for food, all they had left was small plates of unsatisfying tapas, so we ended up in a second-rate late night chinese restaurant with comfortingly unidentifiable lumps of strange coloured food, the same you’d find in any Canadian town with a population over 1000. I don’t think we got home until two in the morning, full of grease and weak yellow tea.
Nicholas’ house is a wonder. His “Mad Uncle” renovated it something like six times. Camouflaged to look like any other pebble and glass fronted house, it pretends to be middle-class and rather unassuming. Inside is another story entirely. Nicholas lives in the basement, a 1960’s style wood-paneled German porno bunker complete with secret passages. The walls glows with a shiny oppressive veneer that inspires me to start collecting vintage Playboy covers for us to varnish onto his ceiling and the only way to get upstairs without leaving the house is to go into the washroom and climb inside what, from the side, looks like a medicine cabinet. It actually opens into a tiny carpeted passageway lined with moldering vintage board games that lets out into the floor of the upstairs front hall closet. Upstairs looks fairly normal again, until you take into account the stripper pole in the bathroom and the occasional mad scientist electrical box. (Apparently they make scary ticking noises and, in the past, have genuinely blown up in proper mad scientist style even.)

iSUPPLI: Despite Price Drops, Demand for NAND Flash Will Boost Revenue by 8% in 2012.:Global NAND Flash Revenue Expected to Grow 8% This Year
Apr 19, 2012 – Anton Shilov
The NAND flash memory market is expected to achieve healthy 8% growth this year because of major sales drivers, including solid-state-drive (SSD) equipped ultrabooks, according to an IHS iSuppli report.
Global NAND flash revenue this year is projected to reach $22.9 billion, up from $21.2 billion in 2011. With NAND flash consumption increasing in the three principal markets for smartphones, tablets and SSDs in ultrabooks, NAND revenue will climb continually during the next few years, hitting approximately $30.9 billion by 2016, according to the market research firm.
Underperformance of Tablets Hurts NAND Flash Market, But Continues to Drive It
The NAND industry finished 2011 somewhat below industry expectations, mainly because consumers did not embrace tablets as enthusiastically during the fourth quarter as initially expected. While the Apple iPad is a major achievement, the same level of success has not been shared by other manufacturers’ tablets.
“Given the lukewarm performance of the tablet segment last year, there was some trepidation coming into 2012 for the NAND industry. But even though most NAND manufacturers had planned to be on the fast track in 2012 to increase production at newly built fabs, each supplier has since reduced capital spending compared to its original plans, electing to moderate supply expansions to allow demand to catch up. Such a strategy will avoid a precipitous price decline that the industry won’t be able to withstand, leading to more optimism for a stronger 2012,” said Michael Yang, senior principal analyst for memory & storage at IHS.
The greatest success besides the iPad has been achieved by lower-end tablets such as the Kindle Fire from Amazon. However, the Fire comes with only 8GB of NAND flash, compared to the iPad’s maximum 64GB of storage. This is resulting in overall lower consumption of NAND flash than if competitive tablets had similar NAND densities to the iPad. Even so, tablets will be responsible for 12% of NAND flash bit shipments this year, with NAND flash consumption in tablets reaching 3.6 billion gigabytes, up from 1.6 gigabytes in 2011.
On its own, Apple will consume about 25% of the overall NAND supply in 2012, equivalent to some 8 billion gigabytes. The iPad will be responsible for 74% of NAND consumption in the tablet segment this year, accounting for 2.8 billion gigabytes out of a total 3.8 billion gigabytes in tablets.
Ultrabooks and Smartphones: New Opportunities Emerge
The shining new hope for the NAND industry this year could well be the ultrabook. With their light weight, long battery life and fast boot-up times, ultrabooks will appeal to all types of users. This will push total NAND consumption in the PC segment to more than 15% of total NAND flash supply. SSDs will account for some 3.3 billion gigabytes of NAND flash consumption this year, up from 1.7 billion gigabytes in 2011.
Another area of growth that the NAND industry can rely on this year is the cell phone market, particularly in the smartphone segment. Smartphone shipments this year will hit 626 million units, with an average NAND flash content of 9.0GB. By 2016, NAND memory content in smartphones will amount to 18.9GB, representing 16% of total NAND bit shipments. Overall NAND flash consumption in 2012 for smartphones is forecast to reach 5.7 billion gigabytes, up from 3.1 billion gigabytes in 2011.
The Apple iPhone, with an average density that is more than two times that of other smartphones, will consume more than 3.2 billion gigabytes in 2012. Other Apple products that will use NAND flash in significant quantities are the Mac Book Air and iPod Touch.

FreedomWorks Statement in Response to the Freedom to Vote Act’s Failed Cloture Vote
WASHINGTON, D.C. — In response to the Freedom to Vote Act’s failed cloture vote, Adam Brandon, FreedomWorks President, commented:
“Nothing more than a failed rebrand of H.R. 1, otherwise known as the ‘Corrupt Politicians Act,’ the Freedom to Vote Act represents another attempt by Democrats to federalize our elections. This supposed compromise bill threatens to run roughshod over the first amendment, funnels taxpayer money for political campaigns, and attacks widely popular state election integrity policies.
“This failed cloture vote emphasizes the importance of the Senate filibuster as a safeguard against runaway legislators in Washington seeking radical change with slim majorities.”
FreedomWorks activists made over 2,662 calls to Senate offices, for a total of 36.8 hours spent on the phone, asking their senators to vote “no” on the Freedom to Vote Act.

Fantastical, magnetic, and harsh—these are the women in Paige Cooper’s debut short story collection Zolitude. They are women who built time machines when they were nine, who buy plane tickets for lovers who won’t arrive. They are sisters writhing with dreams, blasé about sex but beggared by love—while the police horses have talons and vengeance is wrought by eagles the size of airplanes. Broken-down motorbikes and housebroken tyrannosaurs, cheap cigarettes and mail bombs—Cooper finds the beautiful and the disturbing in both the surreal and the everyday. Troubling, carnal, and haunting, these stories are otherworldly travelogues through banal, eco-fabulist dystopias. Zolitude is a gorgeous, sad, and sexy work of slipstream and an atlas of fantastic isolation. The monstrous is human here, and tender.

Following recent momentum and a 71 percent increase in gross bookings for the business unit, Uber reaffirms its commitment to meeting the therapeutic requirements of populations at scale
FREMONT, CA: “I've seen first-hand how important leveraging transportation is in both improving clinical outcomes and creating care systems that allow patients to live independently in their community," states Dr. Michael Cantor, Chief Medical Officer of Uber Health. Uber Health, Uber's healthcare subsidiary, has hired Dr. Michael Cantor as its first Chief Medical Officer. As a board-certified geriatrician with extensive expertise in establishing clinical programs for older persons and vulnerable populations, he has unique insight into the most critical gaps in care and how technology may provide the adaptable solutions necessary to deliver care more efficiently. Dr. Cantor's more than two decades of leadership expertise in the healthcare business will enable Uber Health to continue developing new solutions that meet the needs of patients, physicians, and care coordinators.
"That's why I'm excited to join Uber as the team continues to build relevant solutions that aren't just more efficient for healthcare providers but also help bring care more directly to patients at home on a community-wide scale," adds Cantor.
“The past year we have seen incredible momentum at Uber Health as more and more companies invest in technologies that leverage both transportation and delivery to solve access issues for their patients. As a technology company it's important we do our best to meet our customers where they are; understand the pressing needs of patients, clinicians, and care coordinators; and thoughtfully integrate into their existing clinical workflows," states Caitlin Donovan, Global Head of Uber Health. “That's why we're proud to welcome Dr. Cantor to our team. With his expertise, Uber will be able to take an important next step in addressing holistic needs across the healthcare ecosystem. Coupled with our strategic partnerships across the industry, Uber Health is now better positioned than ever to scalably address issues that make healthcare frustrating, inefficient, and expensive for patients and providers.”
This development comes on the heels of Uber Health's meteoric expansion. The growing demand for innovative patient transportation, vital deliveries, and other mobility solutions within the healthcare industry resulted in a 71 percent increase in gross bookings for the business unit between Q4 2020 and Q4 2021. They have launched agreements with healthcare innovators throughout 2021 and increased their customer base to over 3,000 healthcare customers.
Uber Health has formed significant collaborations with healthcare industry heavyweights such as Papa, Scriptdrop, and ModivCare to enable complete patient care over the last year. Uber Health has been a part of several effective programs that have demonstrated promising results for patients with clinical and social needs, such as its collaboration with Surgo Ventures to improve maternal health outcomes.
Uber Health will leverage its newly acquired clinical knowledge to continue building solutions and collaborations that improve access to care while lowering costs throughout the continuum of care and improving population health management for provider, insurer, and benefit manager companies. Uber has donated ten million free and cheap rides to vaccination appointments over the last year and expanded its platform to include prescription delivery to better meet patients where they are.

Britain is facing a healthcare "timebomb" as people live longer and the elderly population expands rapidly, the health secretary warned today.
Those who may survive into extended old age are unaware of the extra resources needed to cope with their medical needs, Andy Burnham told an audience in Manchester. His comments were made as a coalition of charities claimed the government would miss its "care plan" targets.
"The current care system is creaking at the seams and can't cope," Burnham said. "We know that people worry about getting old but many don't realise they might have to foot a large bill if they need care. I don't want people to worry about affording care."
In 1948 life expectancy was 66; today it is 78. There are now more people in the UK over the age of 65 than under the age of 18. Earlier this year the government published an adult care green paper, Shaping The Future Of Care Together, and launched a consultation exercise, the "Big Care Debate", to seek public opinion.
A survey released by the Department of Health suggested that more than a quarter (26%) of people thought residential care in old age would be free because the government would meet the cost.
Under means-tested rules, anyone with assets of more than £23,000 can expect to pay at least some of the costs. Fees for a person needing care for dementia can rise up to £200,000 over the course of their illness.
More than half of those (51%) questioned expect the costs of residential care in old age to be £10,000 or less. Average costs of care for a 65-year-old, according to the department, are £30,000 over the period of retirement.
The survey, for which more than 2,000 were questioned in mid-July, also showed that 87% of the population worry about getting older, with the main concerns being losing their memories (54%), illness or infirmity (54%), loneliness (39%), poverty (38%), and being a burden (34%).
Meanwhile a nationwide survey of 430 advocacy groups - backed by the Royal College of Nursing - in England found over 70% believe the government will miss its target of offering everyone with a long-term medical condition - such as asthma, diabetes, arthritis and heart disease - a care plan by 2010.
"Care plans," the groups say, are intended to be "patient-friendly roadmaps" that record the treatment and social support a person with long-term illness needs. They are meant to be developed collaboratively with the patient, and where appropriate, their families and carers.
The majority of groups (62%) report that only 30% of their members have been offered a care plan already. "If the results reveal a true picture of the state of care planning, this means that just 5 million of the 15 million people estimated to be living with a long-term condition have been offered a care plan," they claim. "For the June 2010 target to be met, 1 million care plans will have to be delivered every month until then."

I want to define a user screen for the notification header. I am not talking about a screen for one of the tabstrips but for the real header where is normally shown the notification number, the notification type and the statuses (e.g. in case of customer complaints).
Does anybody know whether there is a possibility to define such a customer screen and how this can be called?
In the customizing it's only possible to define the screen type for the header (e.g. H500). I didn't find a solution to call a subscreen in this area using the user exit QQMA0001.

Oral: Pathogen Ecology
Ecological Impact of Signaling Chemicals on Phytophthora erythroseptica
H. JIANG (1), J. Hao (1) (1) University of Maine, U.S.A.
Phytophthora erythroseptica causes pink rot of potato, mostly with zoospores as major primary inocula. Zoosporic germination and infection of host (potato) are regulated by signaling molecules with quorum sensing mechanism. This study was to determine if the signals were species specific and if they were impacted by the environment. Exudates were obtained from high concentrations of fungi, bacteria, and oomycetes, as well as soil and roots of potato varieties. The exudates were used to treat zoospores of P. erythroseptica. Results showed that several soil microorganisms, including P. capsici, P. cactorum, Pythium irregulare, Serratia sp., Delftia sp., and Microbacterium sp. induced zoosporic germination of P. erythroseptica; Pseudomonas spp. and Bacillus amyloliquefaciens inhibited zoosporic germination; exudates of Dickeya dadantii and Pectobacterium carotovorum had no effect on zoosporic germination. Root exudate from the pink-rot-sensitive variety, ‘Dark Red Norland,’ induced zoosporic germination, while tolerant variety ‘Snowden’ did not. These results indicate that the zoosporic behavior is not only self-regulated, but also affected by other environmental organisms, such as host plants and soil microorganisms through signaling molecules. Whether same signals are shared among organisms is being investigated. This result may improve our understanding of the initiation and development of potato pink rot and contribute to breeding resistant potato cultivars.

IF A VISITOR from Mars tried to guess South Carolina’s most recent public policy tsunamis by perusing the 350 bills that our legislators just had to file before the 2013 General Assembly convenes today (I know; I know … I’m trying to make a point), he might conclude that we had been assaulted by a wave of high taxes, an upsurge in violent crimes and a crisis of overextended stays in our prisons.
If he focused instead on the score of bills that actually contain new ideas, the picture would be a bit more accurate: Something went terribly wrong with our elections. We’re under an identity-theft assault. And it takes too long to get a divorce.
OK, so he’d be wrong about that last one. That’s just the latest of Rep. Walt McLeod’s out-of-left-field proposals: Let couples get a no-fault divorce after just 150 days’ separation — a liberalized version of the normal six-month liberalization proposals — rather than making them wait a whole year.
But we are facing an identity-theft assault, several things did go terribly wrong with our elections, and if they don’t always have the right ideas, or ever have comprehensive ideas, our legislators do have a large number of ideas about how to respond.
They do not have a large number of ideas about the other item topping their to-do list: overhauling our ethics law. Only one bill, S.133 by Sen. Vincent Sheheen, proposes to let someone besides legislators review ethics allegations against legislators. That bill and a smattering of others also try to increase the amount of information public officials must report about their sources of income.
It only takes one bill to become law, but that doesn’t usually stop legislators from filing multiple versions of the same one, so they can brag that they did. The fact that they haven’t done this with the fall’s top campaign issue suggests that most are content to wait for all those overlapping ethics study panels to make recommendations. That’s good if the panels make good recommendations that the Legislature is willing to adopt, not so good if they fritter away the whole session studying a problem we already understand.
What we don’t understand so well is what to do about the nation’s largest-ever government data breach, so even if you combined all the bills that aim to do something, the response would fall far short of complete. Several bills would provide state-paid credit monitoring beyond this year, or give tax credits to people who can afford the up-front cost of purchasing the service themselves; Rep. Gilda Cobb-Hunter proposes to reimburse people for actual losses due to identity theft (H.3031). None, though, even tries to address how to secure our computer networks — which I’d like to believe is a sign of maturity, suggesting that our legislators are resisting their normal tendency to provide all the answers before they even know the questions.
I lost count of the number of bills Democrats filed to allow early voting. There’s one Republican proposal, from Rep. Alan Clemmons (he of photo ID fame). H.3176 doesn’t offer as long an early voting period as they want (just seven days) or make it as convenient (one site per county), but Democrats would be wise to get behind it. The bill, which also eliminates the scourge of straight-ticket voting, strikes a smart balance between Republicans’ opposition to any early voting (other than the senior-citizen option, which we call absentee voting and which Republicans are increasingly aggressive about promoting) and Democrats’ desire for a much too open window for casting ballots.
Far less impressive is the 42-page election bill Mr. Clemmons says he spent two years drafting. H.3197 would (drumroll please) … move the State Election Commission into the secretary of state’s office.
That’s it. For 42 pages.
It would not get the political parties out of the business of candidate filing; it wouldn’t even perform the simple task of cleaning up the requirement that non-incumbents turn in a duplicate copy of an electronically filed economic-disclosure statement in order to have their names on the ballot, as this year’s ballot debacle demonstrated we need to do. It would not get the shadowy, unaccountable county election commissions out of the business of running elections, or legislative delegations out of the business of controlling but not controlling those panels, as this year’s Richland County election fiasco demonstrated we need to do.
It is, in short, a solution that not only is searching desperately for a problem but also ignores the actual problems whose solutions are so abundantly clear.
Sen. Gerald Malloy would fix the problem of political parties performing official government tasks, giving candidate filing duties to election officials (S.70). And Senate Judiciary Chairman Larry Martin has fast-tracked his bill (S.2) to clear up the duplicate paperwork problem.
Putting the state in charge of state elections is a different matter. Bills by Mr. Sheheen and Rep. James Smith look like they’d do that (S.135 and H.3198), but a closer reading suggests otherwise: The state elections director would have “general supervisory authority” over county elections directors. Only she couldn’t hire them. Or fire them. The political hacks running the county election commissions would retain those powers. So “general” apparently means “no.”
From the best-of-intentions department comes Sen. Chip Campsen’s S.31, which would prohibit county legislative delegations from having any say over who serves as county election director. Unfortunately, we know how this story ends: Local legislators would simply pass more unconstitutional single-county laws (like the one that created the Richland County mess) that exempt themselves from this law.
Other notables from the pre-filed bills:
• Sen. Kevin Bryant continues to channel John C. Calhoun, proposing bills to ignore the U.S. Constitution by implicitly nullifying Supreme Court decisions on abortion and overtly nullifying Obamacare and federal gun laws (S.83, 85, 87 and 102). You might recall how that turned out last time.
• Only two legislators, Reps. Wendell Gilliard (H.3118) and Don Bowen (H.3121), filed bills to ban texting while driving. Which might make you think that wasn’t something the Legislature needed to do.
If you were a Martian.

“We promise not to screw it up,” Mayer said candidly, speaking about the acquisition.
“Tumblr is incredibly special and has a great thing going. We will operate Tumblr independently. David Karp will remain CEO. The product roadmap, their team, their wit and irreverence will all remain the same as will their mission to empower creators to make their best work and get it in front of the audience they deserve.”
“Yahoo! will help Tumblr get even better, faster,” Mayer said.
So, why did Yahoo want Tumblr? With more than 300 million monthly unique visitors and 120,000 signups every day, Tumblr is one of the fastest-growing media networks in the world, Yahoo said.
Moreover, the social blogging platform has a strong mobile reach, with half of its users making use of the mobile app.
The $1.1 billion acquisition comes after the French government recently blocked a deal between Yahoo and Dailymotion, which would have seen the Internet company buy the video site for a much smaller $300 million.
Dailymotion attracts 112 million users to its site each month.
Social is not cheap
Yahoo’s Tumblr acquisition adds to the growing list of social messaging, blogging and network sites that have commanded a premium price for its technology, user-base and content.
In 2006, Internet giant, Google, paid over $1.6 billion to acquire YouTube – a buy which has to-date proven to be a great success for the company, drawing in over 1 billion eyes to its extensive video library (and, of course, Google’s ads).
The price Microsoft agreed to pay for the company was 32 times Skype’s operating profits at the time, making it the largest acquisition the software company has made – a move which shocked many analysts.
However, it was in April 2012 with Facebook’s acquisition a photo-sharing and image editing application, Instagram – which was sold for a $1 billion ($715 million after Facebook’s stock drop) – that raised many eyebrows.
At the time of the buyout, Instagram‘s user base was around 30 million users; over the past year, the app has become its own bona-fide social network, catering to over 100 million users.
But despite having a big daddy in Facebook, the company has given no clear path to monetising its wares and delivering some kind of return.
|Skype||Microsoft||$8.5 billion||2011||280 million|
|YouTube||$1.65 billion||2006||1 billion|
|Tumblr||Yahoo||$1.1 billion||2013||180 million|
|$1.0 billion||2012||100 million|
|MySpace||Specific Media||$35 million||2011||25 million|
|Mxit||World of Avatar||$40 million (R380 million)||2011||7 million|
However, the real value of social networks is a tricky thing to determine and maintain – something which Rupert Murdoch’s NewsCorp learned the hard way. With its wallet.
In 2003, NewsCorp bought popular social network MySpace for close to $600 million. With the advent of Facebook and other social media, MySpace faced a decline in user numbers and when NewsCorp sold the property to Specific Media – headed by Justin Timberlake – the site commanded a price tag of only $35 million.

Country singer Kate Cameron is equal areas of soul, grit, and grace. Cameron’s clear and rare vocal sound lands between two places her Boston background and her Nashville icons. At times you can hear aping soul and rock vocalists such as Susan Tedeschi or Aerosmith yet she also has the song/songwriter appreciation of singers like Taylor Swift and Miranda Lambert.
In 2015, Cameron graduated from Berklee College of Music, obtaining a Bachelor of Music focusing in Songwriting and where she also got the chance to perform for and honor Doug Morris, a top industry executive who formerly was a CEO of Universal Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment. While attending Berklee allowed her to refine her vocal craft before taking on Music City. Cameron has been working in the Nashville music setting ever since moving there to release her self-written and co-producing different artist projects.
Cameron’s latest single “Turn on Your Light,” came out this year and is available to listen on both Spotify and Apple Music. If you would like to find out more about the talented Kate Cameron then please go take a look at her website at (https://www.katecameronmusic.com).

The Pinball Hall of Fame (PHOF) is an essential stop in Las Vegas for anyone who has an interest in pinball. It's filled with over 200 machines, some of which are so rare you are unlikely to see them anywhere else. I arrived in Las Vegas on Thursday night, and set out to visit the PHOF on Friday a little after it opened at 11 am. I dragged my friend Alan along, who isn't a pinball player but he lives in Las Vegas and had visited the PHOF before with another friend. For more about the PHOF, you can see the website here. The following is a small blurb from the website that describes what the PHOF is:
"The Pinball Hall of Fame is an attempt by the members of the Las Vegas Pinball Collectors Club to house and display the world's largest pinball collection, open to the public. A not-for-profit corporation was established to further this cause. The games belong to one club member (Tim Arnold), and range from 1950s up to 1990s pinball machines. Since it is a non-profit museum, older games from the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s are the prevelant, as this was the 'heyday' of pinball. There are no 'ticket spitters' here (aka kiddie casinos or redemption). It's all pure pinball (and a few arcade novelty games) from the past. And since it's a non-profit, excess revenues go to non-denominational charities."
Located a few minutes away from the strip and the airport on 1610 E. Tropicana, the games inside are organized by era, with all the EMs on one side of the room and SS games on the other, and several newer Sterns displayed near the front. I had read that Arnold had been unhappy with Stern's build quality on some previous games, so I was very surprised to find a lot of the latest Sterns, including Metallica, AC/DC, X-Men, and Transformers (no Avengers, although there was an Iron Man). I was also surprised to find a Wizard of Oz at the far side of the room, hidden back by some of the novelty games and EMs...I'm not sure why it's not more prominently displayed. There are several change machines in the place, and game pricing seems to vary wildly...WOZ was $1, and most of the Sterns were 75 cents. Other machines ranged from 50 cents to a quarter, with some set up for 3 balls per play and others set up for 5 balls.
Like the Seattle Pinball Museum, several of the machines, most notably the Sterns, were not leveled, causing the ball to gravitate towards one side of the table, and making some shots almost impossible to hit. Other machines felt properly leveled and were more fun to play. Some machines did have playfield damage that caused ball hiccups. Also, some machines had note cards explaining some of the history of the machine, but many did not. I did not actually get to meet Tim Arnold, but I did talk briefly with one of the staff, who had to rescue a stuck ball for me, and he was a very nice guy.
The highlight of the trip was definitely The Pinball Circus, an upright pinball machine similar in appearance to a videogame cabinet, with an elephant ball lift, 4 playfields (!) and 7 flippers. Since only 2 machines were ever built, I was thrilled to find this working and not down for maintenance, and actually got a ball up to the top playfield and scored a jackpot. Alan and I were both very impressed by the design of this machine. It was a bit pricey at $1 per game, so I only got in 1 play.
Another highlight was Challenger, a head to head EM machine that tilts towards a player until a "goal" is scored, and then tilts back towards the other player. Each player has two flippers in front of their drain, and two smaller flippers at the top of the other player's play area, allowing you to try to shoot past has flippers and into his drain. There are also some bumpers scattered about. It very much has an air hockey feel to it, although it it quite a bit slower, and it was a blast to play. For not being a pinball player, Alan got into it and actually beat me, admitting it was pretty fun.
In fact, Alan stated that he had a very good time when he thought he would be standing around watching me play. Because I managed to win several free games, I passed those off to Alan, so he got to play quite a few games for free. He mentioned that the last time he was there, he didn't have much fun, but the family he was with was only there for about an hour...the kids weren't much interested in pinball and preferred redemption games, so they ended up going to a Gameworks for several hours. Note to parents: if your kids aren't much into pinball, this place may not be for them.
I had several bad games, in some part due to table leveling, but I wasn't really feeling it on some games. As I've done with other places, below are my quick takes on each machine played, with games I've played before in green and games I've never played before in red:
See description above. Slow but lots of fun!
As I mentioned in a previous post, this is the game that got me hooked on pinball, so it does have some nostalgia value, but since I've grown in age and in skill, it doesn't quite have the appeal it once did. It's kind of like when you see an old TV show you saw as a kid and you think, how did I watch that? I still played one game for old times sake, but I don't think I'd ever own it.
Remember DJ, the guy that I mentioned sold me the empty Lethal Weapon cabinet? He invited me to try playing his Orbitor One, and that was the first time I had ever seen or played one. It was even wackier than I remember, with the ball rolling in broad circles around the playfield that it no way corresponds to the vacuum-formed terrain underneath. Very unsettling. I really don't like this game.
Star Trek 25th Anniversary
Not an awful game, but not among the best Data East games I've played.
I played this game a lot back in the 80s. I didn't have a good game and left it with the feeling that I don't like it as much as I used to.
I also played this one a bit back in the 90s, but I was reminded how much the callouts annoy me. If it wasn't for that, I might like it more than I do. But as it is, I can't stand it. I gave Alan my free game.
This game was a little too easy, and the callouts began to annoy me by the second ball. I gave my free game to Alan.
Bugs Bunny's Birthday Ball
I was thoroughly bored with this game, there just isn't much to do or shoot for. I gave Alan my free game.
Bride of Pinbot
Like Pinbot, I think this game is okay but not great. It has a lot more things to shoot at than Xenon does, and it has some sexually suggestive elements in the playfield and good callouts. I'm just not a big fan.
Let's face it, you either love this theme or you hate it. I wanted to like it, and there are some neat playfield features, but I didn't love it, especially the repetitive music. I gave my free game to Alan.
I played one game, did poorly and moved on.
I finally got to play Dr. Who! Although I didn't do very well, I saw some intriguing elements there. I need to give it more plays to form a better opinion.
Didn't have a great game here, either, so I moved on. I would have liked to have won a free game for Alan as he likes the Terminator theme.
Last Action Hero
I wanted to like this game but it just didn't click with me. Maybe more plays would change my mind.
Creature From the Black Lagoon
Again another bad game that was over pretty quickly. I need to get mine up and running so that I can build up my skills.
I really thought I would love this one, because I really like the theme, but I walked away with a bit of a letdown. Maybe I need more plays on it, but as of right now it's off my wishlist.
This was better than I expected, and I thought the ski lift was pretty cool. I had a good time with this one and Alan picked up the free game.
I loved all the toys and sculpts on the playfield, there's a lot of detail there. But as far as actually game play I found this machine lacking. And the theme totally kills it, especially with the repetitive theme music. I also hated the movie, which didn't help my experience. A terrible machine.
Guns N Roses
I loved the music and theme, including the half-naked girls on the playfield artwork, and game play was pretty good. I wouldn't add it to my collection, but it was fun.
I loved this game! The loops are well done and blazing fast. The game was leveled way too far forward, making it almost too fast, but it was a blast to play despite that. A very fun game for me, and Alan picked up a free game that he said was over pretty quickly.
I was disappointed with this one. I put about 2 dollars in to try to get to the 13 ball multiball. During the first game the flippers froze and the game ended. This happened again during the second game. When I went to play the third game, that's when I noticed the "novice mode" on the DMD, which has a time limit. Although the game allows you to choose between novice and standard, novice was the default, so when I had pressed start on the first 2 games it was playing novice mode. I was really ticked off! I played a couple more games but couldn't get a rhythm going and walked away in disgust. I haven't played a lot of Sega machines (see Goldeneye below) but I can believe this is not one of their best.
This game played incredibly fast and was over pretty quickly, so I didn't get a good feel for it.
Note: There are moments in pinball that have completely captured my imagination, such as the experiences I've documented with Xenon and White Water. Playing The Pinball Circus was another such experience.
I absolutely fell in love with this game. It's a shame that more weren't made, because I'd pursue this one very hard for my collection. It reminds me a little of the first Gravitram kinetic sculpture made here in Portland by Shab Levy in 1973 (which as a kid I would sit and watch for hours at the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry). I left with the feeling that after I complete my virtual pinball machine, I would like to try to build something like this.
This was a pretty fun game, just not my favorite theme. Alan got a free game on this one.
This was in my wishlist despite not having played it. I was not disappointed, as it turned out to be a fun game. I can see why some players complain that multiball is too easy, as it seemed like I almost always had 2 balls (or more) going on the playfield. But I thought it was a cool game and would still like to own one someday.
I liked this game, although at times it seemed a little too easy, but it was fun and Alan's free game lasted for awhile, so he must have done well too.
I really wanted to like this one as the Pat Lawlor design seemed intriguing to me - a timed countdown rather than a score. It was smaller than I expected, and unfortunately I walked away from it feeling disappointed. I think it was probably a lack of experience and not knowing the rules, so I'll give it more time if I ever get the chance again.
I've never played a Sega pinball machine in the wild before, so this was a first. Goldeneye is a great game with a solid feel, equivalent to anything Bally & Williams were putting out around the same period. It doesn't feel clunky like some Data East machines. And the 5 ball multiball was intense. Since this machine is fairly inexpensive, you get a lot of bang for the buck.
Tales of the Arabian Knights
I had a bad game and didn't even get multiball.
As with other locations, this was an attempt to compare a location machine with mine. This machine was pretty beat up, with the hinge pin sticking outside of the crate door, and the boney beast head missing, as well as several of the ribs. I put a couple of dollars in and played one game, thankful that I have one in good condition. I let Alan play the remainder of the games. He liked it so much, he talked about owning one, but the price of this game has climbed so outrageously high, he will probably never pull the trigger.
The Lost World Jurassic Park (Stern)
Another solid feeling game from Sega, unfortunately the difficulty level seemed way too high, like The Shadow. I didn't really care for it despite loving the theme.
This is another game I really wanted to like, because of its rarity and high price. Sadly, I don't think it's worth the price it commands. I had a pretty good game and handed a free one over to Alan. It was good but not outstanding.
Ripley's Believe It or Not
A poorly leveled game that was agonizingly slow as a result. I turned over my free game to Alan.
A boring game with boring music. Yuck.
I didn't care for this game to much, although some of the callouts are pretty funny. I gave the free game to Alan and he did better than I did.
Wheel of Fortune
I approached this game with some trepidation. Designed by my favorite designer (Dennis Nordman), I thought it would be tough to overcome the terrible theme. I shouldn't have worried, though, as WOF is a great game and another Nordman winner. I handed the free game off to Alan, although secretly I would have loved to take it for another spin (pun intended). I don't think I'd own it as there are others I want more, but it is a good game. I think it would have been awesome to have Nordman's face on one of the bobblehead contestants, so that it resembled Bigfoot in White Water. Now that would have been funny!
Batman (The Dark Knight)
I did just okay on this game, but the fact that it was unlevel didn't help. I got both Scarecrow and Joker multiball but just missed winning a free game for Alan. Oh well.
Indiana Jones (Stern)
Much to my surprise, I might actually like this machine better than the Williams version (I know, I'm crazy). I can see how it might get repetitive to hit each movie mode over and over, but I still think it's a blast to play and much more affordable than its Williams counterpart. I had thought that White Water had one of the best uses of multiball, but this is better...watching the ark tip over and puke out balls onto the playfield in 8 ball multiball was insane! Alan and I were still talking about how awesome that was the next day. This game is definitely being added to the wishlist.
Not a bad game at all, great layout and lots of features. Alan received a free game.
I didn't really care for this game much...I'm not a fan of the comic book characters with their goofy yellow and blue costumes, and the playfield magnets and spinner loved to toss my ball into the outlanes. Way too unpredictable ball movement. With more time on it I might change my opinion but this one initially seems pretty weak.
This game seemed pretty boring to me. I'm not much of a fan of the theme, but if the game play was good I could overlook it. I just didn't care for it much and let Alan have the free game.
I'm really liking this game more and more, especially since it functioned better than the one at the Seattle Pinball Museum, and actually had the train instead of a piece of plastic. Again I couldn't hear it very well, and Alan had to put his ear down next to the playfield to confirm the song was actually playing. But the game was a blast, and I hit multiball a couple of times. Both Alan and I loved ringing the big bell and we both talked up the machine the rest of the weekend. I think AC/DC might have been Alan's second favorite machine behind Scared Stiff, as he loves the band's music and got a free game in.
Wizard of Oz
This is probably the most beautiful game ever released. I liked it, but my game was over pretty quickly, and I was a little disappointed that I couldn't make some of the shots. I don't really understand the point of an LCD in the backbox - a DMD screen is hard enough to look at during play, let alone an entire TV screen, but the colorful images on it certainly add to the beauty. It was also expensive to play, being $1 per game. I'd like more time on it to form more of an opinion, but at that price that won't be any time soon. Would I pay $8000 to own one? Not unless I hit the lottery. But I think Jersey Jack has done a great job here and forced Stern to up their game.
Games Not Played
I wanted to play this game badly, as I've never played it before, but it was not working.
I probably should have played it because I may not get another chance. But when I looked at the playfield, it just looked a little dull.
I've always wanted to play this game, but it was not working.
Star Wars (Data East)
I've played this game quite a bit in the past but I don't really care for it.
This game was not working.
This wasn't working either.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
I had no desire to play this due to theme.
Nightmare on Elm Street
Another non-functioning machine.
I had planned on playing this in order to compare it to mine, I just never got around to it.
Rocky and Bullwinkle
I ran out of time and didn't get to this one.
Indiana Jones: The Pinball Adventure (Williams)
Down for maintenance.
I owned this game and I've had my fill of it. No need to go down that road again.
Ran out of time.
No time available.
No time for this either.
Definitely not interested.
I passed on this one.
I passed on this one too.
No time left to play, although I really wanted to.
Not a fan of their music, but I'd probably play it if there had been more time.
Games I had hoped to see that weren't there
No Good Gofers
Elvira and the Party Monsters
Tales From the Crypt
Big Bang Bar
Lots of games to choose from
Prices are pretty reasonable - many games are 50 cents
Unique and hard-to-find games
Money earned goes to charity
Nice friendly staff
Great hours - open 7 days a week and until midnight on some days
Several games unlevel and a couple are in rough shape
No food or drinks on site
List of games on website doesn't quite match what's on the floor
Hours played: 5
Credits played: 42 (plus another 16 free games for Alan)
Drinks consumed: 0
Cost: total = $29
I had a great time at the PHOF, despite leveling issues that led to some bad games. Alan thought he'd be bored watching me play a few games and then leaving, but he had fun. Even after 5 hours there were still several games I didn't have time to play. Maybe someday I'll go back again, but if not, no big deal - I can cross it off my bucket list now. Highly recommended!

Climate Controlled Cabinets
Medication, Saline and Other Storage Needs
Used in Ambulances, Fire Trucks and other EMS Vehicles
Hospitals, Dr's Offices, Police Stations
Anywhere that Secure Climate Control is needed or required
Left hand side (or at the very bottom of the page) is where you can find products, dimensions, other features and options
We operate under United States Patent and Trade Mark Office - Document# 6929061
Mermaid Manufacturing of SW Fl, Inc. began making Medi-Kool's a little over 10 years ago. We are the originator's of the climate controlled, mobile storage solution.
Click around to the left to see pictures and more detail on our Medi-Kool Products.
All of our units come standard with a Medi-Kool Digital Control Board. Detailed information is available under 'MK Control Board' (to your left)
Medi-Kool's are compressor based. We carry a FIVE year warranty on all of our compressors. Warranty information is located in our Install Guide/ Owner Manual as well as our Full Catalog.
To date (2015), we still have units operating in the field that go back to 2003 (our original plastic units that we've discontinued). Think of Medi-Kool the same way as your refrigerator (except that it heats) and is designed, built and shipped to be upright at all times.
Our units are made from high quality stainless steel - in fact, that's what the 'SS' stands for in our model numbers. Not only is stainless steel durable, but it is also extremely STERILE, which we know is important in the world of First Responders.
Regardless of the Medi-Kool product you choose, your medication, narcotics, saline or other fluids will be continuously monitored and temperature controlled at any given moment. Powered by a 12V, low amp draw design, our heating and cooling system provides the climate control you need. Each unit uses a refrigeration and heating system designed to change the core temperature 40 degrees off ambient (with the exception of the MK Pelican).
The standard Medi-Kool SS comes equipped with a Medeco lock - these locks cannot be picked and keys cannot be duplicated. The White House and countless other Federal Buildings around the country use these locks. Two keys are included with the order of any unit and additional keys can be ordered for an extra charge.
We do offer other locking options that include electronic locks or just a basic knob if you prefer not having a lock. Please click on 'Lock Options' for more information. We can engineer your specific lock to fit any cabinet.
The smaller units come in MICRO DEPTH or SALINE DEPTH. We designed these options at the request of our customers. Micro Depth is a shorter version. Saline Depth is deeper for additional depth storage. It all depends on how much room you have if you're doing a remount, or how much room to acclimate if building from spec. Our dimensions are listed in our catalog and on our products (to your left).
Please let us know what specific dimensions you need if you do not see them here.
We highly recommend you visit our Facebook Page for additional Product Pictures, Current Events and News!
THE MK DUAL TEMP HORIZONTAL
Our units are designed to maintain temperatures between 35 degrees F, up to 110 degrees F. They will stretch a little further, but we don't recommend freezing or overheating your content. Keep in mind you are venting two compressor's on the dual temp units vs one compressor.
The MK Dual Temp Unit is designed to maintain two separate temperatures within one unit. Our CEO/Pres/ManInCharge, Mr. Banfield, thought of this idea as he was coming across the Mid-Point/Veterans Bridge from Cape Coral to Ft Myers, on his bike, as he does 4 out of 5 days a week.
Each section is controlled by its own compressor, climate control board (aka thermostat.) Perfect for saline storage on one side and drug/narcotic/plasma storage on the other. Over the last few years we have seriously looked at the issues of secure climate control storage in emergency vehicles. We recognize that every city, county and state has its own way of operating and drug temps vary based on each/individual market.
All of our units (with the exception of the MK PELICAN) will reduce the internal cabinet temperature nearly (+40/-40) degrees of ambient! Certain factors may alter these numbers IE: outside temperature, ventilation, and air con usage. The MK PELICAN will reduce temperature 25-35 degrees off ambient.
For the States that have currently implemented the Induced Hypothermia Protocol (also known as Theraputic Hypothermia), our units will meet or exceed all the current regulatory requirements.
Medi-Kool units are a simple and efficient solution to any climate control need.
ALS Pharmacology Summary
It is VERY important that installers understand our venting requirements.
We ask that 36 square inches - the MINIMUM - of space be available for the compressor to breathe.
Outside venting is always the first preferred method, but we realize this is not possible in all vehicle builds and/or scenarios.
If you are installing one of our Dual Temp Units - double the amount because you are utilizing TWO compressors.
In a cabinet style setting, good case scenario is to ensure spaces have the room to pull air in and push air out (the larger the unit and install size, fans are most likely best option to ensure air flow, which require seperate 12V sources).
Mermaid Mfg can provide several different fans and vents sizes to our customers at an additional charge.
We understand that every builder is unique and no vent space is exactly the same (unless your entire fleet is being built at same spec).
Please see our Install / Owner Manual for more information on venting - PDF File is available.
We recommend a general wipe down of our units before/during every shift change in each First Responder Vehicle (Ambulances, Fire Trucks, Chief SUV's, etc.) although our units are made from stainless steel, sterilization and cleanliness is still important.
WD40 or any other non-abrasive stainless cleaner will work just fine - don't forget the gray gasket around the fridge (after you open the door) If it cannot be performed at every shift change, then it should at least be done once a week and whenever vehicle is in for maintenance.
Understand that our product is made from stainless steel and runs off of ambient (+40/-40) degrees based on the temperature inside or outside the vehicle (and depending on where it is installed, which is up to your spec, re-mount and/or available space).
During hotter, more humid months, we have seen more condensation build around the doors and have been in the R&D phases for a solutuion - this also depends on how often the vehicle is used (factors such as: your location, opening/closing of vehicle door, where unit is installed on the vehicle). Right now, we are asking the unit to be wiped down with a cloth (washcloth works) if condensation builds on the outside door.
Our factory is located in hot and humid Fort Myers, Florida - we feel we are in a very good place to test our units - ask our staff about "206" if you ever call. All of our immediate and surrounding counties have our units and they work perfectly (to our knowledge as of 07/2014).
The Medi-Kool product line by Mermaid Manufacturing of SW FL, Inc. operates under United States Patent Number 6929061

State and local public officials joined executives from Carnival Corporation and the six Carnival brands that sail from Port Everglades to celebrate the Grand Re-Opening of four fully renovated, expanded and modernized cruise terminals that opened in time for this year’s busy cruise season at the South Florida cruise port.
Cruise Terminals 2, 19, 21 and 26 are part of a $54 million renovation project that transformed existing facilities into modern, world-class, guest-friendly cruise terminals, capable of processing both debarking and embarking cruise passengers simultaneously.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott issued a press release saying that he applauded the Florida Department of Transportation’s (FDOT) investment of $9 million to reconstruct and modernize four cruise terminals at Port Everglades. Richard Biter, FDOT Assistant Secretary for Intermodal Systems Development, represented Gov. Scott at the ceremony on December 12 and told the crowd of about 200 people: “Florida is the cruise capital of the U.S. and ranked first in the nation for cruise industry expenditures with $6.7 billion in direct spending, accounting for 35 percent of total industry direct expenditures.”
During the ceremony, Carnival Corporation’s Giora Israel, Senior Vice President of Global Ports Development, presented a monetary donation to Pastor Paul Schweinler to purchase items for the Port Everglades Seafarers’ House Shoebox Christmas gift drive.
Port Everglades committed to modernizing the terminals as part of an agreement, finalized in April 2010, between Carnival Corporation and the Broward County Board of County Commissioners, the governing body for Port Everglades. The landmark agreement, one of the largest in Carnival's history, calls for a minimum of 25.5 million cruise guests from multiple Carnival Corporation brands to sail to and from Port Everglades over the initial 15-year term, which will potentially produce almost half-a-billion dollars in Port revenue.
“Carnival Corporation and its cruise lines that are here at Port Everglades – Carnival Cruise Lines, Cunard, Holland America Line, Princess Cruises and Seabourn – account for nearly half (43%) of the cruise business at Port Everglades. Carnival is an important business partner for Broward County and we are happy to celebrate your success,” said Broward County Vice Mayor Barbara Sharief. “The cruise industry is a major contributor to the economic health of our tourism-based community in Broward County. Not only do cruise companies such as Carnival Corporation bring jobs and revenue to our Port, but they also bring guests who visit our hotels and resorts, and support the small businesses and attractions that are the lifeblood of our economy. In Broward County alone, the cruise industry accounts for nearly 12,000 jobs and contributes $1.8 billion in local economic activity each year.”
Port Everglades Chief Executive & Port Director Steven Cernak, told the audience that the goal for the cruise terminal renovations was, “to deliver an expeditious and seamless curbside to ship guest experience.”
“Cruise ports today are challenged with the task of providing state-of-the-art facilities that can keep pace with and support their customers’ needs, and the cruise lines, as we know, are always on the cutting edge of the hospitality industry. Our cruise terminals must be efficient inside for quick embarkation and debarkation. Outside there must be an organized system for taxi, shuttles, buses and private vehicles to safely pick up and drop off cruise guests. We need state-of-the-art security facilities for U.S. Customs and Border Protection, enough room to lay down 2.5 pieces of luggage per person during debarkation, Wi-Fi for waiting cruise guests, clear directional signs and aesthetics that warmly welcome the more than 3.6 million people who start and finish their cruise vacations at Port Everglades annually.”
Broward County's Public Works Department, Seaport Engineering & Construction Division oversaw the renovations. Moss & Associates was the general contractor, and Bermello Ajamil & Partners, Inc. was the terminal architect and project construction administrator.
Construction work for the cruise terminal created an estimated 1,000 construction jobs, equating to $40.7 million in personal income and $3.7 million in state and local taxes, according to an economic impact study by nationally recognized maritime research firm Martin Associates.

Healthy Classic Arabic Eid al-Fitr Recipe | Fatet Hommus | Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah
I am a Foodie. I love eating food. All my memories are associated with food at one level or another. Obviously, the best kind of foods are relished at our festivals. Oh, all the delicacies I have enjoyed over the years on Holi and Diwali and Eid and Christmas, at own as well as friends' houses! Mouth-watering memories :)
But I am no Masterchef. In fact, till very recently, I would not even enter the kitchen unless it was dire emergency. Cooking has not been much of a strong suit for me. Surprising, since food takes up more than half of my day (thinking, fantasizing, eating..you get the drift) :D So when I got to know of a delicious recipe especially for Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr all the way from Dubai, the first thing I did was scan it apprehensively. You see, I have been under the impression that cooking, especially for Eid, is a looooooong chore. All the times I have gobbled up delicious Biryanis and Sheer Kormas at my friends' houses have spoilt me. However, this time, I am going to be in the Chef's hat because this recipe is healthy, lip-smacking and oh-so-easy to make :)
Especially keeping the Holy month of Ramadan and the auspicious occasion of Eid al-Fitr in mind, Dubai Tourism along with Chef Jens Muenchenbach at Waldorf Astoria Dubai Palm Jumeirah has put together some quick healthy classic Arabic delicacies, one of which is Fatet Hommus. One look through the recipe and I am all set to make it tomorrow and surprise my family. It is vegetarian, fresh, full of nutrients and taste. There cannot be a better way to pay homage to the festive spirit than by indulging in some pure delicacy that comes straight from the heart of Dubai :) Try it out folks!
Recipe of Fatet Hommus
500g boiled chickpeas
10g peeled garlic
10g pine nut
10g red paprika
5g chopped parsley
5g cooking salt
30g fried bread
100ml water of chickpeas
10g dry mint
Method of preparation:
1. Put the chickpeas into a hot pan with garlic, salt, chickpea water and bread.
2. Mix in the yogurt, parsley, mint, paprika.
3. Add the hot ghee and pine nuts.
4. Blend to a smooth consistency.

Say goodbye to the Fox Video brand name overseas and hello to 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment.
The new moniker, following a similar rechristening by Fox’s domestic video company a couple of months ago, denotes a “significant switch in strategy,” according to FHE Intl. prexy Jeff Yapp.
Yapp says the division is broadening its distribution capacity to handle all kinds of entertainment product, including videogames and interactive titles. FHE Intl. will release 10 to 12 games and new media titles globally starting next spring. The product will come from Fox’s new interactive unit, including games spun off from major film franchises, and from its joint venture with Magnet, a producer of electronic games.
The name change is effective immediately, virtually everywhere, said Yapp in L.A. before heading to Queensland to address the Australian Video Retailers’ annual conference.
The product will go out on CD-ROM and on the Sony Play-Station and Sega Saturn platforms. He identifies the most fertile territories as the U.K., France, Germany, Japan and Australia.
Yapp envisions day-and-date releases worldwide, even closer than for video product, to focus the company’s energies in areas such as publicity.
“We’re extending our franchise,” he says. “There is an opportunity (for new media formats); no one knows how big the opportunity will be.”
In the traditional video area, FHE Intl. has had big successes with “Mrs. Doubtfire” (selling 4.2 million copies) and “Speed” (2.2 million). Another winner are movielength versions of the hit series “The X-Files,” which Yapp predicts will gross $20 million to $25 million next year in Japan alone.
He anticipates a huge fall season for his banner, with the “Star Wars” and “The Sound of Music” reissues, plus “Miracle on 34th Street,” “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie” and “Nine Months.”
His theatrical counterparts have firmed deals to distribute “Speed” and “Baby’s Day Out” in China, probably in the fall, via the new revenue-sharing arrangement with China Film Import Export. Yapp aims to release both titles there on video soon afterward, and is talking to potential distribs.
Yapp is convinced that new delivery systems such as near video-on-demand won’t threaten the vid business’s viability. He cites projections that near VOD in the U.S. may eventually achieve a penetration rate of between 4% and 10%, comparing that with the VCRs in 70% or more of households.
As for the knotty question of the two competing DVD formats, Fox remains neutral. “We believe it would be advantageous if a single format were adopted,” Yapp said.


A donation to Albion College, characterized as the largest gift in the institution's 182-year history, will help pay for construction of a new music building on the Albion, Mich., campus.
The college announced in a news release that Richard and Marilyn Vitek, who both graduated from Albion in 1956, have made a donation of undisclosed amount that will cover about half the costs of the facility.
Construction on the Richard and Marilyn Vitek Center for Musical Arts could begin as early as fall 2018. The school is evaluating architects' plans for the center.
“The Vitek Center will transform the study and performance of music at Albion College for years to come,” says Albion College President Mauri Ditzler. “The musical arts are an integral part of the liberal arts, and this building, which will sit along our pathway to downtown, will be an ideal setting for musical offerings by our students and faculty as well as from artists locally and regionally."
Music Department faculty have been researching recent similar projects at both small colleges and large universities as they determine the most ideal array of features and specifications for the new building.
The Viteks got married two weeks after graduating from Albion College in 1956.
Marilyn Vitek says she grew up in a musical family, singing in choirs and in church and regularly attending operas through high school. She is excited about the thought of the music department relocating from its existing home on the basement level of Goodrich Chapel.
“To have a music building, and a special place that they can call their home, should make for a much more interesting adventure to a lot of young people,” Vitek says. “I think we struck the right chord.”
