There have been some unlikely topics of inspirations for musicals over the years.
These include Mormonism, media personality Katie Hopkins, talk-show host Jerry Springer, a cereal cafe in Shoreditch and Jeremy Corbyn, to name a few.
Some have turned out to be surprising hits and others… not so much.
Now creatives across the pond have decided to tell the story of Prince Charles and Princess Diana's marriage as a musical.
While many have attempted to tackle the infamous tale before, this adaptation may just be the jewel in the crown.
Diana: A New Musical by Joe DiPietro and Bon Jovi's David Bryan is currently running at La Jolla Playhouse in California.
Tabard isn't quite sure how it would be received in the UK, but would love to see a transfer, nonetheless. Perhaps this would provide some much-needed comic relief in these politically turbulent times.

Q: Is this Dirichlet series generating function of the von Mangoldt function matrix correct? Let $\mu(n)$ be the Möbius function and let $a(n)$ be the Dirichlet inverse of the Euler totient function:
$$a(n) = \sum\limits_{d|n} d \cdot \mu(d)$$
Let the matrix $T$ be defined as:
$$T(n,k)=a(GCD(n,k))$$
where GCD = the Greatest Common Divisor.
This matrix $T$ starts:
$$T = \left(   \begin{array}{ccccccc}   +1&+1&+1&+1&+1&+1&+1&\cdots \\ +1&-1&+1&-1&+1&-1&+1 \\ +1&+1&-2&+1&+1&-2&+1 \\ +1&-1&+1&-1&+1&-1&+1 \\ +1&+1&+1&+1&-4&+1&+1 \\ +1&-1&-2&-1&+1&+2&+1 \\ +1&+1&+1&+1&+1&+1&-6 \\ \vdots&&&&&&&\ddots \end{array}   \right)$$
There is then the symmetry that the von Mangoldt function can be computed as:
$$\Lambda(n) = \sum\limits_{k=1}^{k=\infty}\frac{T(n,k)}{k}$$
$$\Lambda(k) = \sum\limits_{n=1}^{n=\infty}\frac{T(n,k)}{n}$$
In the language of Dirichlet series this is equivalent to:
$$\Lambda(n)=\lim\limits_{s \rightarrow 1} \zeta(s)\sum\limits_{d|n} \frac{\mu(d)}{d^{(s-1)}}$$

Can we then say that the Dirichlet series generating
  function
  for the whole matrix $T$ is:
  $$\sum\limits_{k=1}^{\infty}\sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{T(n,k)}{n^c \cdot k^z} = \sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{\lim\limits_{s \rightarrow z} \zeta(s)\sum\limits_{d|n} \frac{\mu(d)}{d^{(s-1)}}}{n^c} = \frac{\zeta(z) \cdot \zeta(c)}{\zeta(c + z - 1)}$$?

For $c$ a value close to one such as $c=1+\frac{1}{30}$ we have this plot for $\frac{\zeta (c) \zeta (\frac{1}{2}+i t)}{\zeta (c+\frac{1}{2}+i t-1)}$ on the critical line in the complex plane:

where the downward spikes are at Riemann zeta zeros.
(*Mathematica 8 start*)
Clear[s, z, c]
z = 9
c = 7
N[Zeta[z]*Zeta[c]/Zeta[c + z - 1], 20]
N[Sum[Limit[
    Zeta[s] Total[1/Divisors[n]^(s - 1)*MoebiusMu[Divisors[n]]],
    s -> z]/n^c, {n, 1, 64}], 20]
Clear[c, ss, t]
ss = 30
c = 1 + 1/ss;
sigma = 1/2;
Plot[Re[N[Zeta[sigma + I*t]*Zeta[c]/Zeta[c + sigma + I*t - 1],
   20]], {t, 0, 60}, PlotRange -> {0, ss + 2}]
(*Mathematica 8 end*)

A: joriki proved here that for $n>1$ the von Mangoldt function is:
$$\Lambda(n)=\displaystyle \sum\limits_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{T(n,k)}{k}$$
so if $$\frac{\zeta (c) \zeta (s)}{\zeta (c+s-1)}$$ is to be the generating function associated with the double sum:
$$\sum\limits_{k=1}^{\infty}\sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{T(n,k)}{n^c \cdot k^s} = \frac{\zeta(s) \cdot \zeta(c)}{\zeta(c + s - 1)}$$
(explicitly valid for $c>1$ and $s>1$), then when subtracting $\zeta(c)$, which is the first column in the matrix $T$,  we should get the Dirichlet generating function for the von Mangoldt function $\Lambda(n)$:
$$\sum _{n=1}^{\infty } \frac{\Lambda (n)}{n^s}=-\frac{\zeta '(s)}{\zeta (s)}=\lim_{c\to 1} \, \left(\frac{\zeta (c) \zeta (s)}{\zeta (c+s-1)}-\zeta (c)\right)$$
which we do according to Mathematica.

Alfredo Perez, Deputy U.S. Marshal
Southern District of Texas
Operation Washout Nets 123 Arrested in U.S. Marshal Service Targeted Enforcement Operation in Galveston, Texas
Galveston, TX – During the dates of January 05 through January 15, the U.S. Marshals Service's Gulf Coast Violent Offenders and Fugitive Task Force personnel from Galveston partnered with state and local agencies to conduct Operation Washout, a U.S. Marshals Service national initiative focused on the investigation and arrest of violent fugitives and gang members with active arrest warrants. Operation Washout brings together state, local, and federal law enforcement to focus on specific areas impacted by gang violence and target those with the greatest propensity for crime.
"Operation Washout represents 10 days of intense effort by a team of law enforcement committed to making the Galveston County community and their residents safer from violent crime," said T. Michael O'Connor, U.S. Marshal for the Southern District of Texas. "The success of the operation shows what dedicated professionals can accomplish when agencies work together, utilizing expertise to protect the public from those who dare to endanger their communities."
"The success of this operation is a great example of what is possible when local and federal law enforcement agencies combine efforts, utilizing data and intelligence, to take those individuals off the street who plague our communities with fear and violence." Said Galveston Police Department Chief Vernon Hale.
The 10-day operation led to 123 arrests, including 44 gang members, the seizure of 32 firearms, $20,400.00 in U.S. currency, and 18.535 kilograms of narcotics.
Galveston County Sheriff Henry Trochesset said, "On behalf of the Galveston County Sheriff's Office, I would like to thank everyone who participated in Operation Washout in an effort to make Galveston County a safer place."
La Marque Police Chief, Kirk Jackson stated "The La Marque Police Department is honored and grateful for the opportunity to work with the U. S. Marshal's Office and all the participating State, County, and local law enforcement agencies during Operation Washout." The Chief went on to say, "This operation is just the beginning. Our collaborative efforts to root out the criminal element in the County are ongoing. The law enforcement officers of La Marque Police Department are working with agencies throughout Galveston County and will demonstrate to the criminal element that there is nowhere to hide."
Galveston Police Chief Vernon Hale, said "The success of this operation is a great example of what is possible when local and federal law enforcement agencies combine efforts, utilizing data and intelligence, to take those individuals off the street who plaque our communities with fear and violence."
Agencies participating in the operation included: Galveston County Sheriff's Office, Galveston Police Department, La Marque Police Department, Hitchcock Police Department, Texas City Police Department, League City Police Department, Galveston County Pct 2 and 3 Constables, Texas Attorney General's Office, Alvin Police Department, Clear Lake Shores Police Department, Friendswood Police Department, Harris County Pct 2 Constables Office, Santa Fe Police Department, Texas Department of Public Safety (Criminal Investigative Division and Air Support), Texas Department Of Criminal Justice (OIG), U.S. Marshals Service; Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, Drug Enforcement Agency, and the Department of Homeland Security Air and Marine Operations.

Waze leads to brain haze? Here's why using real maps instead of GPS could prevent dementia
HAMILTON, ON — Turning off Waze or your favorite GPS app and using an old-fashioned map may be the best way to fight Alzheimer's disease, a new study reveals. Researchers at McMaster University say orienteering, an outdoor sport that exercises the mind and body through navigational puzzles, can train the brain and stave off cognitive decline. The goal of orienteering is to navigate between checkpoints or checkpoints marked on a special map. In competitive orienteering, the challenge is to complete the course in the fastest time.
For older adults, scientists say sport – which sharpens navigation skills and memory – could become a useful intervention measure to combat the slow decline linked to the onset of dementia. They believe the physical and cognitive demands of orienteering can stimulate parts of the brain that our ancient ancestors used for hunting and gathering.
The human brain evolved thousands of years ago to adapt to harsh environments by creating new neural pathways, the McMaster team explain. However, these same brain functions are not always needed today, thanks to GPS applications and the availability of food.
Unfortunately, the team says these skills fall into a "use it or lose it" situation.
"Modern life may lack the specific cognitive and physical challenges the brain needs to thrive," says Jennifer Heisz, Canada Research Chair in Brain Health and Aging at McMaster University, in a news release. hurry. "Without active navigation, we risk losing this neural architecture."
Losing sense of direction is a sign of Alzheimer's disease
Professor Heisz talks about Alzheimer's disease, where loss of the ability to find one's bearings is one of the first symptoms, even in the mildest stage of the disease. In the new study, published in the journal PLOS ONEthe research team interviewed healthy adults between the ages of 18 and 87 with varying degrees of orienteering experience.
People who participated in orienteering showed better spatial navigation and memory abilities, suggesting that adding orienteering elements into their daily routines benefited them throughout their lives. .
"When it comes to brain training, the physical and cognitive demands of orienteering have the potential to give you more bang for your buck compared to exercise alone," says lead author Emma Waddington, student graduate from the Department of Kinesiology who designed the study. and is a coach and member of the national orienteering team.
Waddington says orienteering is a unique activity because it requires people to actively navigate while making rapid transitions between parts of the brain that process spatial information in different ways. For example, reading a map relies on the reader creating a third-person perspective of their surroundings. Orienteers must quickly translate this information and apply it to their actual position in this environment, in real time and often on the move.
Turn off the GPS
In the digital world, however, GPS systems take those skills away from many people. They not only affect our ability to navigate, but also how the brain processes spatial information and memory in general. For people looking to ward off dementia through orienteering, the researchers suggest turning off GPS and using a map to find their way while traveling. You can also challenge yourself spatially by using a new route for your daily run, walk or bike ride.
"Orienteering is truly a sport for life. You can often see participants aged 6 to 86 engaged in orienteering," says Waddington.
"My long-term involvement in the sport has given me an understanding of the process of learning navigation skills and I have been inspired to research the uniqueness of orienteering and the scientific significance that this sport can have on the aging population."

TEMPE – Four virtual reality arcades have popped up in metro Phoenix as players who can't afford the emerging technology at home are willing to pay for a few immersive minutes of horror or military-style firefights.
The steep cost of headsets, space limitations and inexperience with the technology have created a VR arcade industry that caters to consumers seeking new experiences. Still, the handful of arcades that have opened in Phoenix in the past two years pale in comparison to the numbers on the East and West coasts and in such countries as China.
Although one expert estimates the global VR business in homes and businesses could reach $48.5 billion and touch multiple industries, including health care and defense, in less than a decade, the nascency of VR makes it uncertain whether the group experiences of today's arcades have staying power.
Space pirates and horror shows
Grasping their Groupons, VR novices Joy Jones and Davon Donaldson walked into VR Junkies arcade in Tempe, ready to be teleported into space. A VR arcade is quiet, unlike the bright lights and loud pings of traditional arcades, and it's punctuated by customers' exclamations as they navigate a virtual world.
Jones stood in front of a television screen that displayed the space-pirate game she would see in her HTC Vive headset. She strapped on one of the eight headsets dangling from the ceiling. Tiny cameras in the player space acted as movement-sensing "lighthouse" sensors above her, creating invisible, infrared walls.

Lighthouse sensors allow players to walk, twist, turn and duck to avoid obstacles and move within a limited space. Virtual walls ensure players don't bump into real ones, and certain games "teleport" players through a virtual world while they stay tethered to a small, real-world space.
Inside the Space Pirate Trainer game, Jones wielded a laser pistol in each hand – holding two controllers in reality – as she blasted hordes of droids.
Jones called it typical video game action except for the deep immersion.
But Donaldson said the game and technology were more impressive than he expected.
"I thought it was going to be a bit cheesy, but it was actually pretty cool," he said.
The best VR experience, fans say, is too difficult to explain. You have to try it to fully understand.
At VR Junkies and other arcades, customers typically pay $1 per minute, playing for at least five minutes and as much as 45 minutes. Most VR games are first-person shooters or horror experiences, but sports and casual games are also available.
Jones and Donaldson said they didn't experience the most common detractor for VR: motion sickness.
"I have seen videos of people falling all out," Jones said. Donaldson added the motion sensors that indicate physical walls was helpful.
The two said they enjoyed themselves but wouldn't be purchasing a headset for home anytime soon. With at least an $800 investment for the industry's least expensive but still high-quality system, brief arcade experiences are enough for now.
"If they lower the prices down," Donaldson said, he can see VR becoming more popular for home use.

Striving to build a real-world business
The operators of VR Junkies and Velocity VR in Scottsdale said their business is growing.
Owner Tawn Makela said 700 unique customers have played at VR Junkies since she and her husband, Chris Krakowski, took over the Tempe store in September. On a recent weekend, 52 customers played at the store.
"I absolutely believe we have seen some growth," she said.
Still, revenue is a challenge. The high cost of rent on Tempe's Mill Avenue spurred them to move to Chandler Fashion Center, where they will reopen soon.
The store is "not quite breaking-even monthly," Makela said.
The couple has invested about $100,000 and have to pay licensing fees to developers for each minute of their games played, with the highest fee at 12 cents a minute.
JP Mullan, general manager of the go-cart track Octane Raceway and Velocity VR, which is housed inside, said Velocity's technology is proprietary and can't be purchased online.
Velocity VR showcases VR "experiences" that can only be played in the arcades, while places like VR Junkies offer glimpses into what can be had at home.
Up to eight players can play group shooting games at Velocity VR.
Mullan said about $800,000 was invested into Velocity VR, and operation costs range from $50,000 to $100,000 a month. At $45 a session per person, Mullan said the venture is on its way to becoming profitable.
Velocity VR saw about 1,000 customers its first month, and for each of the past few months, about 2,000 customers. Mullan said the experience's price point and the availability of the play space every 30 minutes affects attendance.
Competition at home
Much like Netflix and other streaming services brought down the cost of watching television and led to declining movie theater revenue, the potential for technology becoming cheaper may mean more home ownership and less VR playing in public spaces, some experts say.

But Makela doesn't think the rise of home VR systems will put arcades like hers out of business. Most people won't be able to soon afford a high-quality experience at home, she said, and even then, the space and communal experiences an arcade offers will keep the business solvent.
Mullan also isn't concerned about at-home technology and decreasing costs for consumer ownership.
"In a year, they may be doing something similar," he said, but the space and number of headsets required for something like Velocity won't affect its business. Besides, he said, the company has proprietary technology that isn't available for sale online to at-home users.
According to website VRnish, the U.S. has about 120 VR arcades and experiences. The VR arcade business in metro Phoenix is small compared with larger areas, such as New York, with 13 arcades, and Los Angeles, which has 14 arcades, VRnish said. But China has more than 3,000 VR arcades, Vive executive Alvin Wang Graylin said in a 2016 interview with VRroom.buzz.
Data on the industry, and particularly the nascent VR arcade industry, is difficult to pin down. But,
according to Grand View Research, the global VR industry will be worth $48.5 billion by 2025.
Sales for home-use VR headsets have now passed 1 million, according to industry analyst Canalys.
Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, considered among the costliest and highest quality VR headsets, run for $400 and $600, respectively, but they need to be connected to powerful computers that can cost $1,000 or more.
Gaming is the major component of the industry, but Grand View Research also cites gains in medical, industrial, aerospace and defense applications of the technology.
One VR simulation allows users to speak with virtual people with substance-abuse problems, suicidal thoughts or other psychological stresses, Forbes reported in August.
Virtual reality advancements have a history in the military and defense industry, where applications often are used to simulate flight, medic training and battlefield situations.


With the grand opening of its Stoney Creek, Ontario, plant on April 23, Ruskin, a manufacturer of air- and sound-control products, will expand its North American production capabilities. The Stoney Creek plant increases the company's overall capacity in Canada by complementing existing operations in Vancouver, British Columbia.
The Stoney Creek facility will begin manufacturing Underwriters Laboratories- (UL-) classified fire dampers and low leak control dampers. The Stoney Creek plant has the capacity to expand and add production lines and workers from local markets.
Also known as ASL—Air Systems Limited—the Stoney Creek and Vancouver facilities will operate under the name of Ruskin Company Canada Inc.


A dog's heart is divided into four chambers. The two top chambers are called the atria (single: atrium) whereas the bottom chambers are called the ventricles. Valves are provided between each atrial and ventricular pair, each on the left and right side. The valve between the right atrium and right ventricle is called the tricuspid valve, where the valve between the left atrium and left ventricle is called the mitral valve. The heart works with exceptional synchronization between the various atrial and ventricular structures, resulting in a consistent rhythmic pattern.
In both atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter this rhythm is disturbed and synchronization is lost between the atria and ventricles. Both conditions refer to a rhythm problem that originates in the upper chambers of the heart, that is, the atria. Atrial flutter is often a precursor to atrial fibrillation. In atrial flutter there is a premature electrical impulse that arises in the atria, resulting in a faster than normal heart rate, either regular or irregular in frequency, whereas in atrial fibrillation there is quivering type of contraction of the heart muscles, resulting in a rapid and abnormally paced heart rhythm, also referred to as arrhythmia. In atrial fibrillation the atria beat chaotically, resulting in irregular rhythms of the ventricle as well. Atrial fibrillation can occur with or without underlying heart disease. On an electrocardiogram (ECG), which measures the electrical activity of the heart, a distinct pattern can be differentiated in atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter.
After taking a detailed history from you, including your dog's background health history and onset of symptoms, your veterinarian will perform a complete physical examination. Laboratory tests include a complete blood profile, with a biochemical profile, complete blood count, and urinalysis. It is possible that the results of these tests may not reveal much information related to this disease, but they may be helpful for accessing an overall picture of your dog's health and reveal other diseases, if present. Additional diagnostic tools include echocardiography (ECG), X-ray imaging, and color Doppler to help in characterizing the type and severity of any underlying heart disease.


the most amazing ways to increase your base of users.
hacking the marketing of the way that we're doing marketing.
There are three ideas here.
advertise your protocol service and quickly you make a decision.
and each day you try for example 10 or 20 or 30 different ways of marketing.
example: you want to make your user base more bigger.
You want to increase the number of times that your users use your service.
different ways of marketing each hour for example.
there is you're going to do that in a very effective way.
going to try to imagine a way that we're not going to pay for your marketing.
It's a low cost alternative to traditional marketing.
I'm going to explain some examples about growth hacking.
using growth hacking techniques for example Facebook.
Facebook, they want that you use more more and more Facebook.
They want you to come back to Facebook.
And they say how how we can do that.
They just made e-mail notifications when someone tagged you in the photo.
three or four or five years ago you use more e-mail than your social network.
And the Facebook people think OK how we can make that you go to Facebook.
when someone tagged you on a photo.
probably I'm going to make click to that link.
And then Facebook increased the rate of use by 75%.
Imagine that you can grow your business for 75%.
Yes with one decision, sending one e-mail.
It's amazing it's amazing to me and it's very cheap.
ads on any paper or ads on a Google search.
It's a technique that just sending an e-mail.
You just go back directly to Facebook.
your connection and it's a very effective way to increase the user base.
A second good experience about growth whacking is airbnb.
to reach more users because the people don't know yet airbnb.
a very well known service in the United States that was Craigslist.
automatically appear on Craigslist that was for free.
also publish there the ad you have put on airbnb no.
the button automatically just was published in Craigslist.
That was an amazing way to get new users and get new customers to airbnb.
In the next video I will explain more growing hack techniques.
pay pal and Hotmail. Let's see.

Experts invited for project tours
POWER and Water industry professionals are being invited to register for technical tours of three major engineering projects in Abu Dhabi, UAE, a day ahead of the 12th annual Power-Gen Middle East and WaterWorld Middle East Conferences and Exhibition.
"With so much potential for growth in the power and water sectors in the GCC and the Middle East, it is important that industry professionals are fully informed of the latest developments in the efficient design and operation of new facilities," said Nigel Blackaby, event director of Power-Gen Middle East, which will be held from October 12 to 14 at Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (Adnec).
Tours of Masdar City, Ansaldo Thomassen Gulf's gas turbine repair facility, and the Strategic Tunnel Enhancement Programme (STEP) are open to all participants, and will be held on October 11.
The first tour to be conducted by WaterWorld Middle East's event partner Abu Dhabi Sewerage Services Company (ADSSC), and which is part of WaterWorld Middle East conference, will cover STEP – which will become one of the largest sewage systems in the world.
"This project will have the capacity for three times Abu Dhabi's current sewage flows, giving it a planned working life of at least 80 years," said Alan Thomson, managing director of ADSSC.
The second tour is of the world's most sustainable eco-city, Masdar City. The city is pioneering a "greenprint" to accommodate rapid urbanisation while dramatically reducing energy, water and waste. The five-hour tour will include visits to Masdar Institute clean rooms and labs, the recycling centre, the 10 MW solar photovoltaic farm, Siemens building, Barjeel Wind Tower, and the Knowledge Centre.
The third tour covers a visit to Ansaldo Thomassen Gulf's state-of-the-art gas turbine repair facility located in the Mussafah industrial area. The facility is part of the Ansaldo Energia Group.
For the third time, WaterWorld Middle East will be held as a co-located event with Power-Gen Middle East.
The last day to register for the technical tours is September 12.

Home Columns Johnny Meza
Johnny Meza
by Lola Rossi-Meza
Pianist and vocalist, Johnny Meza, captivates the crowd with his smooth voice and versatile repertoire at Arnie's Pub in Arnold Palmer's Restaurant, 78-164 Avenue 54 in La Quinta every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, from 6:30 until 10:30 p.m. (760) 771-4653.
A native of Southern California, Meza knew at a young age that music would always be part of his life. "My uncle, David Yanez, always had the best hi-fi equipment and played jazz records constantly. That exposure gave me a great appreciation for music at an early age.
"My Uncle Charlie played sax, was a band leader and recorded for Capitol Records. His musical arrangements, as Charles Romo and His Orchestra, were on an album series called "Background Music" in the early 1960s ."
His older brother Jim played trumpet and drums. "My brother would often rehearse in our living room with his friends. That was when I first saw a live band up close. The guitar player in the band taught me how to change the strings and tune my guitar."
Music runs in his family. His mother played piano by ear for the family during the years he was growing up and his younger brother Anthony, an artist, played drums in his bands.
His nephew Brian is a musician, TV producer and artist along with his niece Noel, who sings, writes songs, plays guitar, and now works as an animator for HBO. His son Justin, who is a post-graduate student majoring in Computer Engineering, plays piano and bass guitar. His daughter Arianna sings, plays a little guitar and drums.
In addition to being an accomplished pianist, Meza also plays guitar, bass, harmonica and drums. He is also a composer, arranger and producer with several CDs under his belt. His song, "Dirty Martini" from his latest CD "The New Standard" reached #26 on the Billboard Smooth Jazz Charts.
After leaving college, where he majored in Music Composition, Meza moved to San Francisco with the band "Horns, Strings and Things" and played five nights a week in night clubs. The band was also the opening act for many Bay area bands like Tower of Power, Santana, Cold Blood, Malo, Pete and Coke Escovedo and a young Sheila E.
In L.A. he played with Stevie Wonder's backup band Sage. "I got to play a bit with jazz artist George Duke and I did a two-day seminar with Hammond B-3 organ master Jimmy Smith, it was a great experience." He later moved to Las Vegas where he sang and played piano with the band on Cleopatra's Barge at Caesar's Palace.
Moving to the Coachella Valley in 1994, Meza has been busy performing in night clubs, restaurants, corporate events and country clubs. He's written, produced and performed over thirty radio and T.V. commercials, picking up five ADDY awards along the way.
He, along with vocalist Lola Rossi-Meza, has performed main stage at the Idyllwild Jazz in the Pines, Jazz on the Green, La Quinta Arts Festival, the Coachella Valley Wine Festival and the Palm Springs Jazz Festival, to name a few. They wrote "Flying With Angels" to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Angel View. This song, along with four others, is currently being aired on KHCS Radio 91.7 FM in Palm Springs.
You can contact Mr. Meza at JohnnyMeza963@gmail.com.

Jr. Blues defenseman Meeh to finish season in NAHL
St. Louis Jr. Blues and NA3HL defensman Kyle Meeh was signed by the Springfield Jr. Blues of the NAHL last week and will finish the 2013-14 season with them.
Meeh had been given a tender offer for the 2014-15 season but was given the opportunity to practice and skate with the Jr. Blues during an off weekend for St. Louis. After playing two games this past weekend, the Springfield Jr. Blues decided to make the move for this year rather than tender Meeh for next season.
Head Coach Chris Flaugher said, "We were lucky to have Kyle as long as we did this year. We were not expecting him to be back in a St. Louis uniform this season. But his presence in the line-up and in the locker room, with so many young players and rookies, put us in a position where now we are in contention for the division title."
Meeh commented, "This has what I have been working towards for the last couple of years. I just want to prove I can play at that level and higher. Springfield is giving me that opportunity and I am excited about the opportunity."
This past weekend, in 2 games, Meeh notched an assist and had a chance to shoot in Springfield's shootout loss to Coulee Region.

The sweat, blood, and soul of collegiate football is once again strutting onto the gridiron as EA Sports prepares to unleash the Bearian beast, NCAA Football 2000. EA stepped up last year by delivering one of the most spectacular-looking football titles on the PlayStation, and one of the most steeped in features. This season, EA's on its way to improving an already great game in all the right ways by expanding the Dynasty mode (you'll have even more recruiting responsibilities) and by beefing up the graphics and optimizing the frame rate.
NCAA Football 2000's most outstanding addition is its create-a-school feature. Gamers will be able to name their school and assign the team a nickname as well as pick its uniform colors (right now there are only three choices), logo, stadium type, enrollment, and onfield decorations. Add in the ability to create your own offensive and defensive plays, exclusive rights to the Orange, Sugar, and Fiesta Bowls, along with 177 selectable Division l-A schools, and gamers have a college football title worthy of its moniker. Based on the way the game looked and played in its preview form, tundra warriors will have something to look forward to this fall.

Even though it's the middle of summer, the crushing sounds on the collegiate gridiron can be heard from Tennessee to the Bay as EA Sports sets its sights on creating the most intense college football game ever. Until now, you could only dream of owning the most complete pigskin title--with NCAA Football 2000, that dream has become a reality.
Heisman Hopeful
Contained within NCAA 2000's war room are a host of gridiron gameplay goodies that would make even Bear Bryant proud. For starters, this game has more teams to choose from (a whopping 220, counting 140 Division l-A and l-AA teams and 80 classic match-up teams), six game modes, the ability to create your own players and plays, and all 23 Bowl games, including the Orange, Sugar, and Fiesta Bowls. The features that send this year's game over the top, however, are its expanded Dynasty mode and the ability to create your own school.
The Dynasty mode is huge: Not only can you play unlimited seasons, but you also get increased control over your roster with a more in-depth recruiting process. At the end of in a five-week recruiting binge that, depend-record, will enable you to score the best impressive is NCAA 2000's create-a-school enables you to name your school and team, choose your unicolors and logo, select what type of stadium you'll play in, and more. You can school in any conference for season and Dynasty mode play.
Win or Go Home
NCAA Football also has the graphics, control, and sound to match its excellent features. EA Sports has successfully sped up its game with a faster, smoother frame rate to match Game-Breaker's. Plus, it has incorporated more motion-captured moves, used three player-models instead of one, and added impact-related tackles.
As for control, NCAA Football is tight. This year, the running game and the juke moves are more effective, while the kicking and passing remain just as solid. The sound is also great, featuring more commentary from Chuck White, more interactive and timely rally and fight songs, and some of the most bone-jarring effects around.
It Don't Mean a Thing Without the Ring
NCAA Football 2000 comes out of tile locker room looking to sink any takers on the college Field with its in-depth Dynasty mode, create-a-school feature, and awesome gameplay. You can even a transfer your outgoing seniors onto a memory card and play with them in Madden NFL 2000. Even though gamers still have to wait and see how NCAA GameBreaker 2000 shapes up (see the Hands-On preview this issue), you may just want to spend your cash now on NCAA Football. You can't go wrong.
ProTips:
When choosing your offensive audibles, make sure to choose one running play, one mid-range pass piay, and one deep route.
On second and third downs, call plays that offer multiple passing routes: It's important to be able to throw to your backs in swing patterns or deep to your receivers downfield.
Use the 5-2 defense If unsure about your opponent's intentions. Most plays are well balanced, enabling you to guard against sweeps, screens, and passes over the middle and deep.
To get the most out of your created team, choose a balanced running and passing attack.
Aim your kick-offs at the sideline to get your opponent bunched up with no space to maneuver.
This year's graphics are awesome. The frame rate has been optimized for faster, smoother gameplay, the player animations are so lifelike you'd swear you were watching a televised contest, and the impact-relative tackles create the ultimate visual spectacle.
To get sound this inspiring, you'll have to go to the nearest stadium. The hitting effects are bone-crunching, the commentary is accurate, and the fight and rally songs play at the right moments.
Control is on the money. Plus. EA Sports has tuned up the running game this year to make it more effective '; welcome news if you like to dominate the line of scrimmage. The awesome juke moves and excellent trajectory kicking make triumphant returns.
Fun Factor
If you're nuts about college football, you have to have NCAA Football 2000. Its expanded Dynasty mode, awesome create-a-school feature, and optimized frame rate make it the most complete college football game ever.
Ahh, it's our old favorite. As you probably know, NCAA Football 99 took top honors in our sports category last year--we really like it. That's why we've had our fingers crossed for this year's edition. Please, oh please, don't muck it up with overly ambitious changes. Thankfully it's already evident NCAA 2k is well on the right track.
Most importantly, the game engine has been retained with only minor tweaks and adjustments. The bigger changes involve the graphics and animation. Proportional players have finally made their debut in a football game. The linemen are stocky chunks while quarterbacks and receivers are noticeably smaller. Middle-weight sizes exist as well. The size of a player also relates to his power and speed. Gone are the days when you could use a lineman to cover a short-route receiver. Power is also determined by size. Smaller linebackers aren't as effective on larger running backs or vice versa.
There's a lot of new animation as well, 100 more to be exact. On top of several tackle calamities wherein players flip over backward upon impact, celebrations are rampant--the six-shooter salute and finger-in-the-face taunting to name a few.
Even the refs' gestures are more fluid and realistic. Cheerleaders, mascots and coaches are present on the sidelines as well. Combining these elements with the quick-cut, TV-style presentation gives the game a healthy dose of college football atmosphere.
New conferences include the MEAC, SWAC and Ivy League. In all, 140 division 1-A and 1-AA teams exist. On top of that, a classic match-up option gives you 8o additional teams from the past.
Several new features are quite helpful. Onscreen coaching tips point out how you could have better defended the previous play. It's both helpful and humbling.
An on-screen play editor lets you create or modify a play while on the field (very cool option).
While gameplay is obviously the leading draw in NCAA 2000, new management and create-a-school features pump up the sim appeal Building a school involves choosing uniforms, colors and even student enrollment. You may then use your new team in any game mode.
As you can tell, we're all pumped up about NCAA 2000. With any luck at all it'll stay on track in its last stages of development.
MANUFACTURER - EA Sports - Tiburon
THEME - Sport
NUMBER OF PLAYERS - 1-8
People say:
Yup, this is a heck of a college football game all right. As expected. NCAA CF 2000 has retained its great gameplay while adding several new options and features. The best part is, they beefed it up in the right areas: frame-rate, animation, new teams and expanded modes. To the developer's credit, they laid off any big changes to the game engine, or the overall personality (besides proportional player sizes). Messing with too much would've been foolish, after all, its predecessor was EGM's sports game of the year. While flaws are small, there are a few things. The Al is a little lazy in some situations. For example, while not a sure bet, throwing to the middle, just up-field seems overly successful. Again, not a money play just too easy. There's a few gimme-plays using the Shot-gun formation as well. In addition, I wish you could toggle through after-play action (from the huddle to the line is a slow walk). Other than that, I couldn't be happier with the Al or any other part of the game. With 30 new schools plus Create-a-School, variety is not a problem. Go ahead and take your Bethune-Cookman Wildcats (who are they?) all the way if you please. Like last year, multiplayer is really good. Try a multiplayer tournament for a really good time. The evidence is all there, NCAA 2000 is a great college football game.
Although NCAA Football feels just as natural to play as Madden does, I have a little trouble getting into it. This is mainly due to playing with college teams rather than the pros. I just have more fun with the pros. But this little personal preference aside, NCAA Football is a quality football title--and definitely illustrates the progress this franchise is making. If you enjoyed last year's installment (who didn't?), this year's version won't do you wrong.
NCAA was one of those games I just didn't care about. Not because it's a bad game, mind you...no, in fact I know it's a good game because it was easy to learn, fun to play with the four-player multitap, and has enough player stats to tickle Kraig Kujawa pink. And no, the graphics were OK too--nothing offensive or glaring, just sort of functional. After playing Madden 2000 though, it was hard to sit stiti for NCAA. They have their similarities but I prefer Madden.
I've always been a bigger fan of 989's GameBreaker series than EA's NCAA Football titles. The latter have always been a little rough in appearance and a bit harder to get into and control. This year's NCAA hasn't improved upon much, making it a rather disappointing follow-up to last year's critically acclaimed hit. And since updated rosters aren't as crucial in college sports games, I can't whole-heartedly recommend this to owners of NCAA 1999.
This game is missing one major item, a giant warning sign that screams: "This game is extremely addictive!!!!" NCAA Football 2000 is a kickin' upgrade to last year's EA college football game, NCAA Football 99, with some nice surprises thrown in. They have the same modes as last time, with exhibition, tournament, great games, season, practice and dynasty. So what makes this game so good? Mainly it's the addictive dynasty mode, easy playing style, create-a-school and create-a-play features.
The gameplay is set up so that someone can pick up the controller and play a game without having to read the manual. They have individual playbooks for whatever college you pick and like most football games you pick the formation first and then the play. To snap you simply press the x button and the receivers have big letters or symbols above their head symbolizing which button to push to chuck the ball their way. If you have a dual shock controller you can use the right stick to move around a target where you'll throw the ball. This is a very interesting feature because you feel more into the game as you track a receiver with the target and throw it into a strategic location. For example if you throw the ball close to a receiver but still into an open spot, your receiver can outrun the defender much of the time whereas a normal throw would go towards the receiver and if the defender is in between you, you have an interception on your hands.
Although the basic gameplay is very intuitive there are a lot of goodies for the people who read the manual. Inside it describes how to do the cool things like fake pumps, fake snaps, man in motion options, and a coach's cam that shows where the receivers are planning to go. Unfortunately the manual isn't deep enough because it leaves out a lot of badly needed information. Why do some of the people all of a sudden get a yellow color in a play? I assume it means they're getting tired but it would be nice to know for sure. When you're checking out the different plays there is sometimes a thing off to the left that says Ace, Jacks, King etc. What does this have to do with football? Something, I'm sure, but the manual doesn't tell me.
One of the other things I didn't like about this game is that it takes a long time for your team to get out of the huddle and into their starting positions, which forces you to pick a play very quickly so you don't get a delay of game. A nice feature would be to assign a hurry up button that makes them hustle up to the line.
Arguably the best thing about this game is the dynasty mode. From here you can either make a team a perennially national contender or get handed your walking papers if you fail to do a decent job. In between seasons you can send your head coach or staff on a variable number of recruiting missions, based on how well your team did that season and possibly on how many players you cut (not sure on this part). You can pick out your favorite states to see who is available, check a different list on who is interested in playing for your team or go after the 100 top national picks. I absolutely love this because it is a challenge to see how many blue chip players you can convince to come to your team and then playing the next season to see if you've built a winner. This is more addictive than it sounds and should be the option to avoid if you want a life. My only misgiving is that you have one opportunity to cut some riffraff from your team before the recruiting starts, but the manual fails to mention if this affects how many visits you get allocated.
Graphics & Audio
The graphics and audio are pretty good, with the players' different sizes depending on their weight and height. After a play you can see some players huffing, or watch them pat each other on the back. You get to hear the home team's chants and songs and if the crowd is getting a bit rowdy the quarterback even signals for them to quiet down before he gets the ball. The crowds don't look too hot and if you go to the sideline the coaches and cheerleaders look pretty shabby. The audio is great as the crowds cheering or jeering sound very realistic and the grunts, snaps and tackles make you swear that you're in the game.
This is a game worth buying, EA Sports has produced another winner. The gameplay, graphics and audio are first rate, but the biggest thing they could improve on is their manual. The only people I would recommend renting are the ones who currently own NCAA 99 and aren't sure if the game is worth an upgrade buy.
EA Sports looks to stiff-arm the competition once again with this year's NCAA Football 2000.
Gridiron Grit
The college football season is beginning to rev up as EA Sports hits the gridiron with NCAA Football 2000, the next installment of its excellent collegiate franchise. As in recent years, gamers can expea an unparalleled number of game-play options.
For starters, NCAA Football 2000 will feature a new graphics engine that promises to handle tons of animations, such as wraparound tackles and more varied catches, and that delivers a more optimized frame rate. Gamers can also look forward to an expanded Dynasty mode, including the ability to cut or red-shirt players; a play-editor that allows you to create and edit plays on the field; all 23 bowl games, including the exclusive rights to the Orange, Sugar, and Fiesta Bowls; analog passing and trajectory kicking, and new play-by-play from Rose Bowl announcer, Chuck White.
Create If and They Will Play
EA Sports is also looking to load the PlayStation's stadiums with more teams than in previous years by including 137 Division l-A and AA schools, as well as 40 classic-matchup contests--you can even create your own team and university using NCAA Football 2000s new create-a-school feature. You'll be able to choose your team's colors, logo, and the size and location of your school. Best of all, you can play with your created school in any game mode and contend for the title. If NCAA Football 2000 plays as smooth as it sounds, the franchise should once again reign as the top collegiate pigskin-game on die PlayStation.

Apple may bring car crash detection feature to iPhone, iWatch: Report
Apple is reportedly working on a new feature for its iPhone and iWatch series that will allow the devices to detect a car crash and instantaneously dial 911 in the event of an accident. This crash detection feature could be added to the series as early as 2022.
According to reliable sources, Apple has been testing the feature by collecting anonymous data from its current database of iPhone and iWatch users over the last year. The advanced feature could potentially detect the crash by sensing a spike in gravity or 'G' forces that occur as a result of an impact from the accident.
Interestingly, the tech behemoth has been quite successful in identifying around 10 million vehicle impacts, with over 50,000 cases resulting in an autodial to 911 for emergency assistance.
It is to be noted that Apple has been tracking 911 call data to increase the precision of its crash detection algorithm. This seems to provide Apple products with a better confirmation of the crash.
Back when Apple released the fourth generation of its iWatch, it included a similar fall detection feature. The smartwatch also sends out a notification of the watch's location to emergency services in an effort to track the user.
Unless the victim dismisses the alert within one minute of falling, the feature works by detecting the fall and automatically notifying either the emergency services or the person in question's emergency contact via text message.
The latest crash detection feature is predicted to be announced in 2022 as part of the iOS - 16 and iWatch - OS 9 updates respectively, but the fact remains that the launch date of the aspect might very well change, or Apple could choose not to release it at all.

Testimonial from Professor George Edwards
"I am a law professor at Indiana University McKinney School of Law in the United States, and I am faculty director of our school's Program in International Human Rights Law. Since 1997 our program has been sending Indiana law students to work as interns at human rights organizations around the globe. We have had close to 200 internship placements in over 55 countries.
I am very pleased that over the years we have been able to send many Indiana law students to work with our Bridges Across Borders Southeast Asia – Continuing Legal Education (BABSEACLE). The students gained valuable legal experience working on the wide range of pro bono and other legal projects that BABSEACLE is involved in. Our students learned a great deal about law, the practice of law, professional responsibility, and collegiality in a professional workplace. Furthermore, our law students provide great service to the marginalized, vulnerable constituents served by BABSEACLE throughout Southeast Asia. Our students have worked on many projects, including related to human trafficking, human rights education, minority rights, discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, and rights of refugees and asylum seekers.
I have been fortunate to have been able to visit and participate in BABSEACLE efforts in various cities and countries in the region, including in Thailand, Laos and Vietnam. I have given presentations with BABSEA in these countries, participated in teacher trainings, witnessed BABSEACLE service work, and paid supervisory visits to Indiana students working on site there. BABSEACLE also works in Malaysia and Cambodia, and has made great contributions there as well.
BABSEACLE is headed by co-founder Bruce Lasky, who holds law degrees from the U.S. (Juris Doctor) and Hungary (Master of Laws – LL.M.), and has extensive work experience in international human rights law grassroots work. He, his colleague Wendy Morrish, and other BABSEACLE staff strenuously work to benefit and empower the otherwise undefended, teachers who teach human rights, and others in the region.
BABSEACLE has great impact in the countries where they work. They also have great impact elsewhere, particularly through the global human rights organizations they are associated with. For example, Bruce and Wendy actively participate at conferences of the Global Alliance for Justice Education (GAJE), at academic conferences around the globe, and at United Nations bodies.
BABSEA's ties have physically reached Indiana! Bruce and Wendy have visited our Program in International Human Rights Law at Indiana, where they lectured in two classes and attended a de-briefing for Indiana interns who had worked at BABSEACLE and other placements around the globe. BABSEACLE former interns have visited Indiana, including Will Hotham from the UK who became a Fellow of our Indiana Program.
BABSEA has been a great example for CLE work at law schools in Asia and in other regions. Clinical leaders routinely turn to BABSEA for guidance and tutoring on successfully creating and running legal clinics at law schools.
My support for BABSEACLE and the work BABSEACLE does is solid. Congratulations on all that BABSEACLE is able to accomplish!"

Testimonial from Annette Bain
"Since 2003, BABSEACLE has tirelessly advocated for the development of justice education and clinical legal education in the Southeast Asia region and worldwide. The impact of this work on future generations is incalculable. BABSEACLE helps to build and strengthen clinical legal education programs within universities that promote a social justice ethic, and develops this ethic among local law students and their communities. Through these programs, valuable legal aid is given to marginalized communities that might not otherwise be able to access justice. The students who participate in justice education programs supported by BABSEACLE will go on to become lawyers, legislators, business and leaders – all carrying within them this social justice ethic and the ideal of using the law as a force for positive social change.
Herbert Smith Freehills and BABSEACLE have worked together on a number of projects taking an inclusive, developmental approach to access to justice education, including the following:
• providing funding to a CLE clinic at the University of Economics and Law in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam enabling the employment of a post-graduate student as its coordinator. Similarly we support the clinic at the National University of Laos, in Vientiane.
• co-presenting legal seminars in Vientiane, Laos and in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
• advising on the establishment of BABSEACLE Australia which was launched early in 2013.
• collaboration on the inaugural South East Asian Pro Bono Conference which took place in Vientiane, Laos in 2012, and continuing this participation for the 2nd South East Asia Pro Bono Conference which is to be held in October 2013 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
• together with BABSEACLE and DLA Piper, jointly developing a culturally relevant Pro Bono, Ethics and Professional Responsibility curriculum project."

Testimonial from Aj. Withoon Taloodkum
"BABSEACLE, Bridges Across Borders Southeast Asia Community Legal Education Initiative, is a well known organization where holding mainly activities increasing a legal empowerment and access to justice by clinical legal education (CLE). I have known BABSEACLE when the first time joining a Conference at Chiang Mai University hold by BABSEACLE collaborative work with CMU Law Clinic, Faculty of Law, Chiang Mai University in last 2010. Since 2010 until now, Bruce A Lasky and Wendy Morrish, Co-director who surprisingly granted an experiences about clinical/community legal education to me and my colleague at University of Phayao.
In 2011, School of Law, University of Phayao funded and hold training for a trainer for University Professors, Clinic Staffs, law students and community leaders. There was a starting point where I work with law students to understanding and giving a clinical legal education with others in Phayao's Communities. Our law school and the Dean, especially the President of University of Phayao granting a valuable supports our activities to established a law clinic where to lean and help communities.
Our activities in Phayao, mainly works with law student and communities on stateless, nationality law, family law, immigration and access to public service. We also hold a law camping work with BABSEACLE to support our law student to lean with international law students such as from Queensland University of Technology, Australia, and many counties such as Laos, Malaysia, Indonesia, Viet Nam, United State of America, England, Canada and etc,. We have a lot of clinical activities on mobile clinic and community teaching. Our law students start to lean on how to teach law to communities and what they gain from their teaching is legal knowledge and value of social justice. Especially, legal professional and professional ethics are importantly legal skills that increased from Clinical Legal Education in Community.
We are looking forward to implemented a clinical/community legal education in our law degree curriculum as coming soon by the consents of the school."

Testimonial from Prof. Lisa Bliss
Coming to Thailand to work with BABSEACLE for an extended placement in the summer of 2012 was a life-changing experience that I suspect will keep me coming back to this region to work with the organization and its many partners for many years to come. BABSEACLE offers a dynamic learning environment in which students, professors, lawyers and the community come together to strengthen social justice through both clinical legal education and community education. I have worked as a BABSEACLE Clinician in Resident for extended periods of time with the internship program in Chiang Mai, as well as with some of its university partners, including Mae Fah Luang, Phayao, and Chiang Mai universities in Thailand, and University of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. Through these experiences, I have seen how the organization successfully mentors people at all levels. One cannot walk away from having worked with BABSEACLE without being inspired to continue working for social justice in some capacity. An added bonus was the expansion of my own skills as a teacher, mentor and advocate for social justice. A unique cooperative and collaborative spirit is the foundation for all of the organization's initiatives. It is this philosophy that attracts talented, committed people to work with the organization. Once people become part of the BABSEACLE team, they are not only team members, but lifelong friends.
-Lisa Radtke Bliss, Associate Clinical Professor, Co-Director of HeLP Legal Services Clinic
Testimonial from Colin James
In early 2011 I decided to combine a holiday with visiting my BABSEACLE friends in Southeast Asia. Before long I had a packed program of legal clinic and law school visits, but it was still one of the best holidays I"ve had.In Ho Chi Minh City, I visited the impressive Vietnamese University of Business and Law where I met Professor Huyen Pham and we discussed strategies for clinical legal education. Then I saw the Legal Aid Centre at the HCMC Law University, apparently the largest law school in Viet Nam and met Professor Dang Tat Dung.Later, at Can Tho University, I met Dr Le Thi N Gueyet Chau and was fortunate to be able to sit in on a student mock trial involving two men charged with murder, based on a recent real case. The auditorium was completely full of fascinated law students.
That was so interesting!
In Hue in central Vietnam, I met up with Bruce Lasky and the BABSEACLE team, who were preparing to run clinical initiation seminars with the Hue University Law School with the help of their Vietnamese partners. We met Assistant Dean, Foreign Affairs, Mr Ho Nhan, and law lecturer Ms Nguyen Hong Trinh.
BABSEACLE's Vietnamese legal trainers conducted a very active seminar with about 60 law students about community legal education in a clinical law school model. I was invited to present on the methods of my legal clinic at the Newcastle Law School, Australia.
Later we met up again at Chiang Mai and drove to Udanthani in northeast Thailand. There we met with the Dean and other staff at the College of Politics and Governance at Payap University and talked about the benefits of clinical legal education. My thanks to Bruce, Wendy and the team for showing me how BABSEACLE works so well and giving me these great experiences.

"Sid & Marty Krofft Lead the Way & Answer age Old Questions: The top 10 Wild & Crazy Kid's Shows of the 1970's"
May 21, 2018 jimjax4	Leave a comment
The simplest of things.
As time goes on, the struggles of life eventually wear us down and we long for the simpler things of our childhoods. The people, foods, and activities of our youth can fill our hearts with joy in a way few things can and they are greatly missed. One of the things that kids of the 70's and 80's enjoyed was some of the wacky kids shows.
For many children of the past, names like Hal Roach, Mel Blanc, William Hanna, Joe Barbera and Walt Disney are as revered as Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. For kids of the 70's and 80's, you can add 2 amazing talents in Sid and Marty Krofft. They created shows that few networks backed or liked, but millions still enjoy to this day. Their crazy use of kid friendly subjects and human puppetry is unmatched.
Some networks still show these classic shows on occasion, but in the 1970's to the 1980's, one of the most anticipated days of a kids life was the Cartoon Preview specials on the last Saturday night in August before the new school year began. At the time these were highly rated shows and commercials advertising them flooded the television screen. Child stars of the day would host these specials and they were geared literally towards kids. It was an exciting time to see what new kid shows would be shown for the fall lineup.
Today we are going to take a special look at the most craziest and quirky kids shows of the 1970's.
Bigfoot and Wildboy:
Creator: Joe Ruby, Ken Spears, (produced by the Kroffts)
Cast: Ray Young, Joseph Butcher, Monika Ramirez, Ned Romero, Yvonne Regalado, Al Wyatt Jr.
Years: 1977-79
A lost boy in the woods is rescued and raised by a Bigfoot and they fight crime, aliens, and bad guys in a good v.s. evil plot. This is definitely out there but it's what the 70's shows were all about. It's so refreshing to see what a good parent Bigfoot is.
The Lost Saucer:
Created: Sid & Marty Krofft
Cast: Jim Nabors, Ruth Buzzi, Jarrod Johnson, Alice Playten
Running for only 16 episodes, this series has been greatly forgotten by most. Another one I had never heard of. It was classic Krofft; quirky, thought provoking and kind. Most shows had an environmental or social theme. It was interesting though because they would take the saucer into the past and into the future to try and get back home. Some of the stories were very thought provoking. Jim Nabors and Ruth Buzzi are interesting to watch in this outside the box performance that stretches their vast talents. An underrated show for sure.
The New Zoo Revue:
Creator: Doug Momary, Barbara Atlas
Cast: Doug Momary, Emily Peden, Sharon Baird, Yanco Inone, Larri Thomas, Chuck Woolery, Fran Ryan
This was one of the most popular shows for pre-schoolers along with Romper Room and Captain Kangaroo. The show mixed humans with life-size talking animals. It won several educational awards and is thought of as being one of the top preschool shows ever made. It had a couple of revivals and it still remains a favorite of baby boomers who have turned the show on to their kids and grandkids. And yes, below is game show host Chuck Woolery as Mr. Dingle.
Go on Youtube and check out their outtakes which have been released. Racy, sexual and over the top funny. They definitely had fun. If you are easily offended, I'd probably avoid them.
The Bugaloos:
Creator: Sid and Marty Krofft
Cast: John McIndoe, Caroline Ellis, John Philpott, Wayne Laryea, Martha Raye, Billy Barty, Sharon Baird, Joy Campbell, Van Snowden
Another short lived Krofft show with a large cult following was the Bugaloos. With it's ABBA style songs and outfits, it remains a cult classic especially abroad. It pretty much was a show about 4 cute British teens in bug costumes who sing and have conflicts with the jealous Benita Bizarre played by the great Martha Raye.
The young cast said that Martha Raye and Billy Barty helped them immensely and were the kindest, most fun people. There was a Bugaloo's movie in the works at the time because of it's popularity, but due to Universal going bankrupt, the idea was nixed.
Dr. Shrinker:
Cast: Jay Robinson, Billy Barty, Ted Eccles, Susan Lawrence, Jeff MacKay
Another show introduced during the Krofft Supershow was Dr. Shrinker. A great cast along with catchy music, (this is one of my favorite intro songs); created a fun and popular show. The diabolical Dr. Shrinker uses a shrink ray to shrink 3 young adults whose plane has crash landed on an island. The show pretty much is Dr. Shrinker catching the "Shrinkies" and then them escaping. Mainstay Billy Barty plays his evil side kick Igor. He wants to sell the ray to the highest bidder and then give the Shrinkies to the second highest bidder. It was another show that was introduced on the Krofft Supershow that ran for 2 years. Electra Woman and Dyna Girl (video below with Deidre Hall & Judy Stungis) were introduced at the same time and it only aired for one season as well. Dr. Shrinker is one of the lesser remembered and known shows but it definitely is loved by the Krofft's, and their fans.
Sigmund and The Sea Monster:
Creator: Sid & Marty Krofft
Cast: Billy Barty, Johnny Whitaker, Scott Kolden, Mary Wickes, Joe Higgins, Rip Taylor, Fran Ryan, Fred Spencer, Paul Gale, Van Snowden, Sharon Baird, Sparky Marcus, Margaret Hamilton, Walker Edmiston, Sidney Miller
A show that was near and dear to the Krofft's heart. Sigmund was another classic show that kids of all ages enjoyed. The legend Billy Barty played Sigmund, and even if he wasn't feeling really well he still did some very physically trying scenes in the Sigmund the sea monsters suit. "Billy was amazing", said Marty Krofft. "He would do things for us that he wouldn't do for anyone else".
This is the story of a friendly sea monster who is kicked out of the sea by his underwater family because he won't scare people. He is then befriended by two boys who help protect him. Margaret Hamilton also was added to a great cast. She was famous for being the wicked witch of the west in the Wizard of Oz! The story lines are sweet, straight forward, and pleasant to watch.
Lidsville:
Cast: Butch Patrick, Charles Nelson Reilly, Billie Hayes, Lennie Weinrib, Joan Gerber, Walker Edmiston
Another very popular show that only ran a year was Lidsville. The theme song was another classic which was the norm for the Krofft's. It was a story of a boy that fell into a huge hat owned by Merlo the Magician at 6 Flags in Texas. The boy Mark goes into a world of life sized hats called "lids". Some people again tried to link drugs to the cartoon because at the time a lid was the street name for a bag of marijuana. Sid Krofft again laughed at this and said he had thought about the idea a while back thinking of the personalities that each hat may have and how everyone liked hats. If it was a cowboy hat, he acted like a cowboy and so on.
This was a lot like the Krofft's other shows where little people would sometimes be in the costumes while someone else dubbed their voices. Charles Nelson Reilly played the villain Hoodoo and was a natural. Billie Hayes played Weenie the genie and Butch Patrick played Mark. In the show Mark never really does get back home and he fights beside the good hats to avoid paying the hat check of HooDoo who was helped by 4 bad hats. The Kroffts especially loved this show. At the time, the music became so popular that many of the songs were put on an album by Johnny Whitaker. Another classic.
The Electric Company:
Creator: Paul Dooley/PBS
Cast: Morgan Freeman, Irene Cara, Judy Graubart, Rita Moreno, Jim Boyd, Skip Hinnant, Bill Cosby (71-73), Lee Chamberlain (71-73), Luis Avalos (72-77), Hattie Winston (73-77), Danny Seagren (74-77)
Sesame Street, Mr. Rogers and the Electric Company are probably the greatest kids shows of all time. The EC was unique and fun and very different because it used sketch comedy to teach kids to read. With an all star cast and guest stars in the likes of Michael Landon, Dean Martin, Carol O'Conner, Woody Allen, Barbara Eden, Joe Namath, Walt Frazier, Lily Tomlin, celebrities flocked to try to be on this show. It was popular and very well done with recurring favorite characters. They tried to re-launch it in the last 10 years and it was awful. They did an amazing 780 shows with an average of 130 shows a year for 6 years. Amazingly some series today have literally 8 shows in a full season.
The EC was groundbreaking and was even endorsed by the U.S. government and many educational organizations. It was always near or at the top of kids show ratings but was cancelled due to it being expensive to run. While the Muppets and Sesame Street could make a bundle in merchandise, the Electric Company was very limited on what it could sell. It helped the careers of many stars as well and remains one of the greatest kids shows of all time.
The Land Of The Lost:
Cast: Spencer Milligan (Seasons 1 & 2), Wesley Eure, Kathy Coleman, Phillip Paley, Ron Harper (Season 3)
Name another kids show who had writers from Star Trek writing episodes for it. The Land of the Lost remains one of the great Krofft shows. When Marshall and his 2 kids Will and Holly get caught in a dimensional portal after an earthquake, they go to a strange land where dinosaurs rule. While trying to get home, Grumpy the T-Rex was their biggest worry, but most of the dinosaurs were friendly herbivores. They fight the evil Sleestak's and befriend Cha-Ka of the Pakuni tribe. Spencer Milligan who played Marshall, left the show at the start of the third season because he wanted more salary and he thought the cast should get a cut of their images and the merchandise that had become popular. The 70's was not exactly a decade for tv actors to get rich and many times they were not paid much in residuals or merchandise, if at all.
The original cast can often be seen at reunions and fan signings. It remains arguably the most popular show the Krofft's have ever done. Want to win a bar bet? What future NBA star was an original Sleestak? It was none other than the World Champion Detroit Pistons Bill Laimbeer. When he attended Palos Verdes High School, he was asked to be a Sleestak due to how tall and skinny he was.
H.R. Pufnstuf:
Cast: Jack Wilde, Billie Hayes, Lennie Weinrib, Joan Gerber, Walker Edmiston
You want to know how great this show is? At the time the show was aired, the Beatles would ask for copies of it sent to them directly by the Krofft's. Teens and high school kids would write the show by the thousands. They only did 17 episodes and even today it has a huge cult following. TV Guide rated it their 22nd greatest cult tv show of all time. Add another classic hit theme, and it's hard to top H.R. Pufnstuf.
With the iconic Jack Wild (he played the greatest artful dodger of all time in the 1968 film Oliver which he got an Academy Award Nomination); Witchiepoo played by Billie Hayes (always flying her Vroom Broom) and the amazing adventures of good v.s. evil; this show captured the hearts of kids all over the world. There were rumors that Wild got a million dollars to do this show.
I cheated a little. This was actually created at the very end of 1969, but most of its airplay occurred in the 1970's. Below they answer the age old question if drugs fueled the name of the show. Who's your friend when things get rough? H.R. Pufnstuf, because he can't do a little if he can't do enough.
The longer I'm around the more I realize what's popular isn't always good and what's good isn't always popular. Citizen Kane wasn't widely seen for over 20 years and the public wasn't that thrilled about it at the time anyway. The Wizard of Oz took 25 years just to break even and that was after network television began to show it. The networks wanted to cancel Hill Street Blues but they were nominated for so many Emmy's that they kept it on. In some instances though, the networks just don't back what is popular because they didn't believe in the shows. That was the case with many of the Krofft's classics.
Sid and Marty Krofft blazed trails and showed the way to a new type of kids show. Sid; laid back and full on hippy; and high strung and tell it like it is Marty; created entertainment that will live forever. Their search for a kind, gentle, and peaceful world through their television shows, resonates with many even today.
What Sesame Street, the Kroft's and Mr. Rogers did was they listened to kids; whether young or old. Parts of these creators never grew up and they fed a kid's passion for adventure, fantasy, and kindness without dumbing them down with violence and sex. That is something many of today's parents and tv shows have forgotten. Let kids be kids and cherish their innocence, wonder, and imagination for as long as you can. And if you're lucky, a part of them will never grow up too.
