The New Nature vs. Nurture: Big Data & Identity
A baby born in the US today will live an algorithmed life. Her education, healthcare, career, who she dates, the ads she sees, what she reads, eats, buys, will be shaped by a feedback loop of data collected, processed, fed back to her, collected, processed, fed back to her.
We call this the new nature and the new nurture.
In the new nature, we know more about ourselves through data sources that we will have at our disposal. Information streams of personal and genetic data are increasingly available, but this raises psychological and emotional implications on self-awareness.
In the new nurture, retailers, corporations and government bodies use data mining to parse, segment, and sell to human beings. This marks a new moment for humanity: the algorithmed life.
The new nature and nurture create opportunity and peril. The increasing availability of data changes how we are able to know and define ourselves—at the risk of being defined by algorithms that we can't control.

And What of Liberty? Networks and Freedom
Your ISP is spying on your network traffic, Zuck pwn'd your social graph. Even darling Twitter has thrown indie developers under the bus for the sake of "consistency." You probably know all this, and you still go on using these networks because there are no workable alternatives. Except there are alternatives, and we're actively building them out! This panel will demonstrate running code and working prototypes, but it will also make a case for networks as a central component of human freedom. Come help us frame the problem, consider existing solutions, and spec out more responsible networks that you and your friends will actually use.

Creativity & Mayhem: Anonymous Communities at Work
Communities like Anonymous and 4chan's /b/ create Internet culture, change politics and make news. But how do they build trust, share work and intervene in the world? How can new groups and movements use anonymity and pseudonymity? While Facebook and Google push for an Internet of real names and persistent identities, we will present an alternate universe of thriving, chaotic, bizarre and effective cultures created by nobody in particular - and their implications for activism, politics and creativity online.

Curbing Crime with Data Extraction and Ontologies
Human activity – good and bad, legal and criminal, ethical and unethical – has become increasingly bound up in data-driven systems. For organizations of all kinds – government, non-profit, businesses – discovering bad behavior when it first occurs, and stopping it in its tracks, is becoming vital to global reputations. In this panel, we'll look at the practical use of data extraction, ontologies, and the semantic web to detect patterns of misconduct early. We'll see live examples of how historical and transactional data can be scanned in its native format and language to uncover patterns that provide true predictive analytics and artificial intelligence.

The Copyright Era Meets the Open-Source World
Fair use is a complex area of copyright law. Publishers have a love/hate relationship with fair use because on one hand, it lets them legally repurpose existing copyrighted material. On the other hand, publishers want to prevent others from stealing their content and republishing it illegally. People exercise caution when using work created by someone else, which is good because they are aware of the content creator's rights. However, an underlying principle of fair use is to promote and build upon the existing work of others to further develop innovative ideas. Publishers and those in the legal community vary widely in their opinions of fair use and these perspectives should be explored in a thoughtful and productive way through this session.

Poetry in Motion: Sound Culture & Data Mining
Poetry, stories, and speeches aren't just what we read or what we hear - they're how we make meaning and celebrate history. Hundreds of thousands of spoken text audio files - including poetry readings, American Indian stories, and presidential speeches - remain untapped in archives throughout the world. These digital artifacts hold our oral traditions, and projects like High Performance Sound Technologies for Analysis and Scholarship (HiPSTAS) out of the University of Texas's School of Information feature original high performance data mining tools that help us visualize sound culture in ways we never imagined. How will these new audio technologies reshape the way we understand our words and ourselves?

Information Literacy in an Online World
Information Literacy is the ability identify an information need and to locate and evaluate appropriate resources to satisfy this need. As more and more information and communication has moved online information literacy has become closely tied to computer literacy. Individuals who find themselves on the bottom of the digital divide often lack skills necessary to compete and thrive in today's society. These individual may lack the ability to find work, stay informed of laws and rights, obtain social and financial services, and are at an increased risk for online scams and identity theft. The level and quality of general public discourse is also affected by information literacy rates. This presentation will take a look at how age and economics are tied to information literacy, provide insights gleaned through library reference work in public, academic, and legal libraries, and discuss on how design can promote information literacy and computer literacy.

Go Fund Yourself
Stop asking the question: "What are the chances my crowdfunding campaign will be successful?" You are not at the Kentucky Derby or Las Vegas. Crowdfunding is not a lottery — it's a platform for anyone, anywhere, to raise money for any idea — and successful campaigns are more often than not the result of careful planning and deliberate action.
Over five years and hundreds of thousands of campaigns have left CEO Slava Rubin and the rest of his Indiegogo team with mountains of real data from which to draw real conclusions and advice — what works and what doesn't for crowdfunding. For example: Campaigns with videos, raise 114% more money. 93% of campaigns that reach their target goal offer perks. That's the tip of the iceberg.
Whether you're a bootstrapped startup, a filmmaker, a musician, philanthropist, or a recent amputee, Slava will provide you with the tools to get your crowdfunding campaign over its goal line.

Copyright & Disruptive Technologies
This panel will discuss copyright in the wake of SOPA/PIPA: how law gets made, how it impacts innovation, and how it interacts with civil liberties, particularly free speech & privacy. It consists of Andrew Bridges, Margot Kaminski, Wendy Seltzer, & a surprise industry guest.
Bridges has successfully argued numerous copyright cases on the behalf of innovative technologies. Recently, he represented Dajaz1, the music site seized by DHS for over a year that galvanized SOPA/PIPA opposition.
Kaminski is Executive Director of the Information Society Project at Yale Law School. She identified substantive civil liberty problems with the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA), which was rejected by the European Parliament after widespread protest by European citizens.
Seltzer founded and developed the Chilling Effects Clearinghouse, which studies legal threats to online speech and activity. She is on the board of Tor, and served on the ICANN board.

Libraries: The Ultimate Playground
Libraries have grown far beyond the nostalgic scent of books on shelves (though we still have that too). There is an explosive realm of content-wrangling that occurs on the library frontier making life-changing impacts in literacy, health, and education. There is also exists a quagmire of metadata messes, licensing loops, and lack-luster technology that is overdue for an innovative shakeup.
This is a unique setting to bring to the table the wide cast of SXSW tech & entrepreneurial attendees with some of the most grassroots, forward-thinking librarians & information professionals thinking outside-the-box today. Together we can build castles in the sandbox to connect new ideas with immediate impacts. Let's get this collaborative conversation started!

Why Digital Maps Can Reboot Cultural History
Digital maps dot the landscape of the Internet and our mobile devices. And for the most part, these maps live in a perpetual NOW. But one thing often overlooked in the rush for geo-currency is the amazing ability of maps and their associated location information to tell compelling stories about our shared history.
The panelists, operating in the design, marketing, cultural heritage and not-for-profit sectors, are expert in bringing historic digital geospatial data to bear to create useful contemporary tools and services.
The panelists will share their insight on building contemporary, cutting-edge tools and projects that leverage open source technologies such as Omeka, GeoServer, OpenLayers and many others, while bringing attention to the importance of preserving our digital geographic cultural heritage for the long-term benefit of commerce, entertainment and history.

Libraries: The Ultimate Playground Redux
Carson and Andrea just presented... Let's break it down on the stream.
Interaction Literacy & Participatory Design
The term "literacy" usually refers to the ability to read and write functionally. The emphasis is on interaction with the written word - taken for granted as the cornerstone of education. But momentum may be building in the direction of a more visual and auditory literacy. With greater numbers gaining access to more diverse formats and sharing them across social networks, there's an ever-increasing amount of "live" documentation of personal experiences. If this form of storytelling is experienced in a way fundamentally different from strictly textual reading, it may also require a different understanding of literacy.
In this session, Razorfish Healthware's Erin Abler explores the concept of "interaction literacy," a potential framework for clarifying the elements of multi-mediated, participatory forms of experience. Presenting a model for further development, she explores how insights into the elements of human experience can be used to create new design processes.

Pop Up Archive: Build an Archive & Make It Count
RSVP Required - Organizing digital content not only makes it easier to find and use — it creates new opportunities. Our thriving media environment would not be feasible without standardized formats such as MP3, CD Audio, WAV, and JPEG. But the data that describes media is not standardized at all. To foster collaboration and reuse, metadata needs to be consistent and sharable.
So, let's archive. In this workshop we invite media creators to join us as we take archives from the shelf (or hard drive) to the web. We encourage workshoppers to consider archiving not only produced work, but also raw footage and ancillary media to make the most of their collections. We'll teach you how to install free software for archives, create or import records, organize collections, and seamlessly upload files to services like the Internet Archive and SoundCloud. We'll also teach you how to use the simple web-based Pop Up Archive system to find hidden gems and archive without your own server.
Particular experience and/or knowledge is not required, but this workshop will be of the most use to those who a) create audio/visual content in the course of their work or b) seek better access to archival material for their work — whether in public media or the library/archive/museum ecosystem(s).
Bring your archival material: we suggest that each participant come armed with at least a USB key or two (or a terabyte's worth, if you're feeling ambitious) of files. If you have any descriptive information about the files, bring that too — whether a spreadsheet tracking fields like "date" and "location" or even just a list of interviews jotted down in a notebook. Sorry, we can't help digitize analog content this year, though we can certainly point you toward relevant resources.

Culture Hack: Libraries & Museums Open for Making
Around the world, libraries, archives and museums are opening their doors to hackers, makers, enthusiasts and creatives of all kinds. By publishing Open Data, cultural heritage institutions are finding new ways to open access to their collections for remix and reuse, and promote new uses and interpretations of the works they hold. These international panelists will explore the many ways in which cultural heritage institutions are sharing content, what people are doing with this content, as well as exploring some of the thornier issues of open access across borders and institutions.

Digital Time Machines & the Future of Learning
3D experiences are pushing their way into the classroom as media-savvy students move from textbooks to digital experiences and the technologies they've grown up with. As the ultimate time machine, 3D environments can literally transport students to any point in time to make history come to life. Using Egyptology classes at Harvard University as an example, this presentation will explore how 3D experiences transform the way we learn, and how 3D technology is applied to cultural awareness, virtual archaeology and museum-going. In Harvard's Visualization Lab, students experience a virtual reconstruction of the Giza Plateau and its ancient necropolis that was painstakingly and realistically created using archaeological data unearthed over the past century. Attendees will see how this innovative approach was initially developed, is now being crowdsourced globally, and welcomed by students as a unique way to better understand ancient Egypt and become actively engaged in the classroom.

New Knowledge Ecosystems: How & What Do We Know?
Systems of knowledge such as libraries, universities, publishers, and newspapers are centuries old. And the affordances of a print world have embedded specific practices within these systems. But digital technologies have radically changed everything by offering new ways of communicating information, from the paparazzi to research scientists, and everyone in between. This deeper, more structural change is reshaping knowledge institutions and making them more porous, chaotic, energetic, and motile.
How can we retool the pillars of our existing knowledge systems to embrace technological change? How do we think about new institutions of knowledge like Wikipedia? Citizen journalism? Online learning like EdX and Coursera? Self-publishing in repositories like SSRN and arXiv or via Amazon? The knowledge ecosystem is changing although knowledge has always been social. How can we reconcile this with our previous understanding of experts? Who do we listen to?

In the late 1980s, Public Enemy rapper and Internet aficionado Chuck D famously remarked that hip hop was like the "black CNN," speaking on the "lower frequencies" cited in Ralph Ellison's "Invisible Man" about issues in African-American communities like the War on Drugs, sex and relationships, poverty and police brutality. As social media has become the default medium for gathering and disseminating information, Twitter posts provide the steady bass beat that continues to inform on similar topics, but with more portability and immediacy than ever before. This panel will examine how so-called "Black Twitter" exchanges news (like the Trayvon Martin case as a recent example) and uses it to mobilize political dialogue and direct action, and how information professionals--like librarians, journalists, and educators--can guide users toward responsible practices that respect the unique coding and cultural perspectives of black and other minority communities.

The Sketchbook Project is a constantly evolving library of handmade artists' books, contributed by more than 22,000 people from 130+ countries. The Project encourages creative people from diverse backgrounds — working artists, full-time parents, busy professionals, students — to share their process with each other and the public. Participants sign up online to receive a blank book, fill it with work, and mail it back. The results are cataloged and archived in our storefront library, exhibited on tour in cities around the world and shared online. The Project operates at several points of intersection — online and offline; digital and physical; global and local; small business and arts organization. With one foot in the Web and another on the road, our passion is to inspire a wide-ranging online community to produce meaningful, tactile experiences in the physical world. This is the story of how a DIY approach to business, technology and creative work made a global project possible.

We Want Turtles! Giving Communities What They Want
In conversation with Leslie Wolke, Jake Barton, founder and principal of Local Projects will walk through the case study of "Change by Us," an open source application with its first project up and running for New York City. In an attempt to translate large-scale government initiatives into concrete and desired improvements for the city's residents, this website solicits ideas -- as seemingly far-fetched as a turtle pond in the Lower East Side of Manhattan (which as been funded, by the way) -- and connects the ideas and their proposers with relevant city agencies to make them happen. This case study will kick off a far-reaching conversation about how the web is best used to instill and sustain community activism and involvement.

In Focus: 8 Love Teams Whose Chemistry Sparked In The 'Pinoy Big Brother' House
KimErald became one of the hottest love teams from PBB back in 2006.
These OG stars last worked together in the 2017 series 'Ikaw Lang Ang Iibigin.'
In 2016, we've got the chance to witness McLisse fall for each other inside the house.
They eventually starred in their first movie together this year entitled "Sakaling Maging Tayo."
LoiShua became a thing in 2014 after being housemates in 'PBB: All In.'
The two were paired up in the 2017 series "The Good Son."
Probably one of the cutest loveteams that Pinoy Big Brother produced in 2015 is BaiLona.
Even though they're no longer a love team, we can't help but look back at their fun times together!
Of course, 2016 was the year that we discovered the soon-to-be power duo MayWard.
These days, MayMay & Edward are making us all kilig with their effortless chemistry!
One of the newest loveteams in the current season of PBB is KaoRhys.
How adorable can Kaori and Rhys get?
Another notable young duo from Kuya's house is formed by Karina and Aljon.
Thankfully, we would be seeing more of them now!
Thanks to this year's batch, we also have Gian & Missy who first met in their "Star Hunt" days.
Clearly, romance is blossoming between these two!
Which among these couples do you ship the most?
One of the things that make our local showbiz scene different from others is how much we're obsessed with love teams. They don't simply exist to entertain us on-screen, but also to give us major kilig off-cam! And in the past few years since Pinoy Big Brother started back in 2005, this reality competition has become one of the shows that helped spark some of the most endearing love teams in the industry.
RELATED: The Six Fix: Love Teams We Love That Started Right Inside The PBB House
Although the main reason why we watch the show is to see who among the housemates should we support to become the big winner of the season, it's safe to say that this is the second best thing we anticipate on the show. Unfortunately, some love teams are now a thing of the past, but we'll never forget the feels they brought us.
From gushing over their sweet candid moments to getting excited whenever they're partnered up in a task, these coupled-up housemates have always been our source of motivation to watch the show. And to indulge this guilty pleasure that everyone can relate to, here's a little throwback to some of our favorite Pinoy Big Brother loveteams that definitely got us hooked, plus an update to where they are now!

Disney to Finally Unleash 'John Carter'
$250 million sci-fi tentpole aims to overcome marketing blunders, skeptics

Few characters in Hollywood have been as polarizing as John Carter in recent years.
Tarzan creator Edgar Rice Burroughs' fantasy figure, introduced in 1912, has a loyal following — the novels in which he appears have influenced everything from "Star Wars" to "Dune," "Superman" and "Avatar" — but the character's first bigscreen outing, set to bow this weekend, has shouldered bad buzz since Disney greenlit the pricey production two years ago.
Having dealt with rumors of cost overruns on a tentpole with no major stars, marketing stumbles (including a controversial title change and DayGlo materials) and 100-year-old source material unknown to most moviegoers, Disney and a team of Pixar vets are either about to launch a new franchise or write off the next failed labor of love, like "Watchmen."
The parallels to Warner Bros.' dark superhero tale are hard to ignore.
Both projects, with a small but vocal fanbase, are based on books that, while not publishing powerhouses, have influenced pop culture (Alan Moore's "Watchmen," introduced in 1986, led to the current crop of edgy comicbook pics, while references to John Carter's Mars exploits are found throughout other sci-fi and fantasy fare). The resulting films were risky bets taken by studios that wanted to remain faithful to the source material after decades of development.
In "John Carter's" case, "Looney Tunes" director Bob Clampett hoped to direct an animated feature in 1931, while Ray Harryhausen wanted to produce a stop-motion pic in the 1950s. During the 1980s, Disney had the rights with John McTiernan once attached to direct Tom Cruise as Carter. The 11-book series then moved to Paramount, where Robert Rodriguez, Kerry Conran ("Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow") and Jon Favreau were each attached to helm before the project went back to the Mouse House.
Andrew Stanton ("Finding Nemo," "Wall-E") couldn't turn down "Carter" as his live-action debut: "After pushing (Disney) to make it for so long, I couldn't say no when they offered it to me."
The resulting film, about a Civil War soldier who finds himself in the middle of a war on Mars, is a film "we selfishly wanted to see," Stanton said, referring to himself and fellow producers, including Pixar's general manager and former president of Lucas Digital (ILM and Skywalker Sound) Jim Morris, as well as supporters like Pixar and Disney animation chief John Lasseter.
"We wanted to re-create and capture the feeling we had as kids when we first read the books," Morris said.
Disney bows the film on more than 3,500 screens this weekend. It's pushing the film hard on a global scale, launching day-and-date in nearly every major market (except Japan and China) totaling 51 territories.
Domestically, early tracking is not encouraging: Monday polls have the PG-13 film opening to a $25 million-$30 million weekend. But estimates this early always skew conservative, and alternative box office prognosticators indicate a much stronger bow.
Critics were quick to scrutinize every aspect of the pic during its arduous journey to theaters. That's included the budget, which Disney quotes at around $250 million, with an additional $100 million to market the film worldwide. (Though industryites have whispered that the film cost much more, producers tell Variety that those rumors are "ridiculous" — everyone connected to the film insists it came in on time and on budget).
Negativity surrounded last May's title change from "John Carter of Mars" to simply "John Carter," which followed the flop of Robert Zemeckis' "Mars Needs Moms." Critics argued that the new name says little about the film, but the studio worried that the Mars element would turn off female auds, while the title of Burroughs' book, "A Princess of Mars," would have kept men away.
Stanton admits "John Carter" has proved difficult for Disney to market — which Stanton is used to after "Finding Nemo" and "Wall-E."
"You can't control people's first impressions as much as you'd like," Stanton said. He's no stranger to pre-release reactions, either, saying, "There was negative press before 'Finding Nemo.' There was negative press before 'Toy Story.'"
But that hasn't kept the helmer and Disney's marketing team (that includes former promo chief MT Carney) from trying. The studio skipped Comic-Con to promote "Carter" to Disney fans at D23 in August, with a lengthy presentation that touted Burroughs' influence over more familiar pop culture properties.
The latest blitz has included a Super Bowl ad, extended online clips and ads during the March Madness tournament. Stanton also has hit Twitter over the past several weeks to answer questions and spoke at last month's TED conference. Stars Taylor Kitsch ("Friday Night Lights") and Lynn Collins ("X-Men Origins: Wolverine") are now on the talkshow circuit.
Walt Disney Studios chairman Rich Ross has been puzzled by the negative reaction. "I've never had something healthy get treated like a corpse," he said at the film's lavish premiere last month. "Usually, it's the other way around," with a studio having to make something bad look good.
Yet even if "Carter" winds up D.O.A. at the box office, Ross won't have much to lose: He and Disney production president Sean Bailey inherited "Carter" from the studio's previous regime, led by Dick Cook. A poor showing would bruise Pixar's vets, given that it's their rare foray into live action, but a hit would spawn the kind of new cross-platform franchise Disney craves.
Studio isn't loading up store shelves with "Carter" merchandise this time around, as retailers are holding out to see if the film catches on. Such a move isn't unusual, especially for risk-averse toymakers.
Still, Stanton already is working on a follow-up script with "Carter" co-scribe Michael Chabon, so that Disney can move forward with a sequel based on Burroughs' second novel, "The Gods of Mars."
It all depends on whether "Carter" performs better than "Watchmen," which earned $185 million worldwide, of course. Early reviews are positive, as is social media chatter. Disney lifts its review embargo Wednesday, a play to keep favorable reviews fresh in ticket buyers' minds.
In the final weeks leading up to the launch, the film's campaign has amped up its focus on action sequences and various characters to eventize the production. And to get auds as excited about John Carter's adventures as Stanton was as a kid reading the books.
"If a kid in 1976 can enjoy reading the books that were published in 1912," Stanton said, "I think someone in 2012 can enjoy it for the same reasons."

(normative)
Protocol implementation conformance statement (PICS) proforma
To evaluate conformance of a particular implementation, it is necessary to have a statement of which capabilities and options have been implemented for a given IEEE 802 standard. Such a statement is called an Implementation Conformance Statement (ICS).
This annex provides the ICS proforma for IEEE Std 802.21 in compliance with the relevant requirements, and in accordance with the relevant guidance, given in ITU-T Recommendation X.290 (1995), OSI conformance testing methodology and framework for protocol Recommendations for ITU-T applications—General concept, and.ITU-T Recommendation X.296 (1995) OSI conformance testing methodology and framework for protocol Recommendations for ITU-T applications—Implementation conformance statements.
If it is claimed to conform to IEEE Std 802.21, the actual PICS Proforma to be filled in by a supplier shall be technically equivalent to the text of the PICS Proforma in this annex, and shall preserve the number/naming and ordering of the PICS Proforma items.
A PICS that conforms to this IEEE Std 802.21 shall be a conforming PICS proforma completed in accordance with the instructions for completion given in M.4.
Purpose and structure
The supplier of a protocol implementation that is claimed to conform to IEEE Std 802.21, shall complete the following protocol implementation conformance statement (PICS) proforma.
The PICS proforma expresses in compact form the static conformance requirements of this standard. It serves as a reference to the static conformance review. ITU-T Recommendation X.296, 6.7, provides examples of uses and users of proformas.
A completed PICS proforma is the PICS for the implementation in question. The PICS is a statement of which capabilities and options of the protocol have been implemented.
14Copyright release for PICS proformas: Users of this standard may freely reproduce the PICS proforma in this annex so that it can be used for its intended purpose and may further publish the completed PICS.
This PICS proforma has the following structure. Within this, the instructions subclause, are the purpose and scope; symbols, abbreviations, and terms; and explicit instructions for completing the implementation conformance statement. After the instructions are the subclauses for identifying the implementation, the protocol, and corrigenda (if any). The final subclause contains the questionnaire in tabular form. Within this final subclause a separate table is used to cover these categorizes: global statement of conformance, roles, major capabilities, protocol data units (PDUs), PDU parameters, and timers.
The structure of the individual tables varies. Except for the tables for the identification of the protocol and the identification of any corrigenda, at a minimum all tables have columns for item number, item description, status, and support. For most the status columns includes both a status and a predicate. Some tables have a column for a mnemonic, which makes for easier cross-referencing within the PICS proforma. Most tables contain a reference column. A few tables (e.g., PDU parameters and timers) contain a column for entering supported value(s).
M mandatory
O optional
O. optional, but support of at least one of the group of options labeled by the same numeral is required
pred: conditional symbol, including predicate identification (mnemonic)
N/A not applicable
GBLx mnemonic for global statement of conformance, where x is an integer
MCx mnemonic for major capabilities, where x is an integer
PDUx mnemonic for protocol data unit, where x is an integer
RLx mnemonic for role, where x is an integer
The blank spaces in the identification of the implementation part is to be completed with the information necessary to identify fully both the implementation and supplier, as well as the name of a person to contact if there are any queries concerning the contents of the PICS.
For the identification of the protocol, indicate in the support column "Yes," if this is the protocol being supported.
For the identification of corrigenda to the protocol, indicate if any corrigenda have been applied by entering the corrigenda information in the space provided. If none are applicable, then leave it blank.
The main part of the PICS proforma is a fixed questionnaire in tabular form, divided into subclauses, each containing a number of individual items. Answers to the questionnaire items are to be provided in the column labelled support, either by simply marking an answer to indicate a restricted choice (i.e., Yes or No) or by entering a value or a set or a range of values in the supported range column. (Note that there are some items where two or more choices from a set of possible answers may apply. All relevant choices are to be marked in these cases.)
Each item is identified by an item number, which is given in the first column. The second column (labelled item description) contains the question to be answered. The remaining columns may be labeled: references, status, support, allowed value(s), supported value(s), or mnemonic. The reference column contains the reference or references to the appropriate static conformance requirements or other clauses in IEEE Std 802.21. The status column contains the status value [mandatory, optional, not applicable, or conditional (see M.4.6)] of the item. The answer to the item is to be entered in the support column by either entering Yes or No in the space provided or, if present, mark the appropriate tick box beside the appropriate answer. For items that contain a supported value(s) column, in addition to answering the support column, enter the value or values supported for the item in the space provided.
A supplier may also provide further information, categorized as either Additional Information or Exception Information. When present, each kind of further information is to be provided in a further subclause of items labeled A<I> or X<I>, respectively, for cross-referencing purposes, where <I> is any unambiguous identification for the item (e.g., simply a numeral). There are no other restrictions on its format or presentation.
A completed PICS proforma, including any Additional Information and Exception Information, is the PICS for the implementation in question.
NOTE—Where an implementation is capable of being configured in more than one way, a single PICS may be able to describe all such configurations. However, the supplier has the choice of providing more than one PICS, each covering some subset of the implementation's capabilities, if this makes for easier and clearer presentation of the information.
Items of Additional Information allow a supplier to provide further information intended to assist in the interpretation of the PICS. It is not intended or expected that a large amount of information will be supplied, and a PICS can be considered complete without any such information. Examples of such Additional Information might be an outline of the ways in which an (single) implementation can be set up to operate in a variety of environments and configurations, or information about aspects of the implementation that are outside the scope of this standard but have a bearing upon the answers to some items.
References to items of Additional Information may be entered next to any answer in the questionnaire, and may be included in items of Exception Information.
It may happen occasionally that a supplier will wish to answer an item with mandatory status (after any conditions have been applied) in a way that conflicts with the indicated requirement. No preprinted answer will be found in the Support column for this. Instead, the supplier shall write the missing answer into the Support column, together with an X<I> reference to an item of Exception Information, and shall provide the appropriate rationale in the Exception Information item itself.
An implementation for which an Exception Information item is required in this way does not conform to this standard.
NOTE—A possible reason for the situation described above is that a defect in this standard has been reported, a correction for which is expected to change the requirement not met by the implementation.
The PICS proforma contains a number of conditional items. These are items for which both the applicability of the item itself, and its status if it does apply, mandatory or optional, are dependent upon whether or not certain other items are supported.
In this PICS proforma conditional items are represented through the use of nesting item numbering and by using individual conditional items as indicated in the status column.
If the value of the predicate is true, the conditional item is applicable, and its status is given by S and the support column is to be completed in the usual way. Otherwise, the conditional item is not relevant and the N/A answer is to be marked.
A predicate is an mnemonic for an item in the PICS proforma. The value of the predicate is true if the item is marked as supported, and is false otherwise.
Each item referenced in a predicate is indicated by an asterisk in the item number column.

Heart Attack Takes NFR Header Jack Rasco
National Finals Rodeo header Jack Rasco headed to Heaven on January 6, 2021 at the age of 74.
By Kendra Santos | January 15, 2021 | 5 minutes read
Today's young guns won't remember him. But National Finals Rodeo header Jack Rasco was a big deal back in the day. And it feels like more than a small cowboy coincidence that Jack died exactly one week after one of his all-time favorite heelers, Leo Camarillo. The Lion left us on December 30, 2020, and Jack headed to Heaven on January 6, 2021. Both were 74. I can only imagine the fun little roping reunion they might be having right now.
Tee Woolman on Leo Camarillo: The Lion Really Was The Greatest
According to his little brother, 1976 World Champion Team Roper Ronnie Rasco, Jack's been living in Northeast Oklahoma, and had recently had a heart attack he wasn't expected to recover from.
Jack Rasco spinning one for Jerold Camarillo back in the day.
"Jack had been in the hospital right across the Oklahoma line in Missouri," said Ronnie, who's 68 now and living in Arizona, and won the world heeling for Bucky Bradford in 1976. "He had a heart attack, and was in a coma. They didn't expect him to make it. But Jack woke up. And they sent him home. Then he had another heart attack and died."
The Rasco boys grew up in Southern California's Lakeside area. Jack headed for Angel Crosthwaite at the 1968 NFR. Back then, the Top 15 individual team ropers qualified for the Finals and got to invite anyone they wanted. According to his brother, Jack had other chances to rope at the NFR. But due to the harsh reality of pre-equal-money team roping, Jack declined.
"Back then, it didn't pay much," said Ronnie, who the world with Bradford in 1976—in one of three sudden-death years when regular-season earnings were erased and world championships were based solely on NFR earnings—with $4,512. "Jack had other chances to rope at the Finals, but chose not to go, because it basically didn't pay anything."
Taking a pass on roping at the Finals might seem far-fetched now. But having been raised by a dad who also said "thanks, but no" to NFR offers, because he could make more money than a round paid in a couple hours at his veterinary practice without driving to Oklahoma—it happened more than people now know.
Jack Rasco
The Camarillo boys played a big part in the building of Jack's roping resume. At that time—when California was king in dally team roping—the biggest jackpots included the Oakdale 10 Steer, Chowchilla Stampede 8 Steer and Riverside Rancheros 8 Steer. Winning the Oakdale 10 Steer with Leo was one of Jack's proudest accomplishments.
"If you were to ask Jack which wins meant the most to him, I think he would have named that one with Leo at Oakdale," said Ronnie—aka "Milkshake"—who roped at a second NFR in 1981 with Julio Moreno. "That roping was really prestigious back then.
"Jack was pretty famous for roping the horns. He was born with the talent to rope horns all day long. Jack could really reach a long way, and for the rodeos that were one-headers, that was the ticket. And he had consistency, too. Jack didn't miss. He could rope head-duckers, fresh steers—it didn't matter. For several years in a row at those big ropings, Jack roped every steer around the horns and never broke a barrier. He was the real deal. Jack and Leo were the toughest team around at one time. Those guys could really rope back in the day."
"Leo and I moved Jack to Oakdale from Lakeside in 1966," remembers Jerold Camarillo, who graduated from high school a year after Leo in 1965, and still lives in the original Cowboy Capital of the World. "We called him up to head for Leo and I while (cousin) Reg (Camarillo) was in the Army (serving two years in Vietnam). Jack came up here in an old Mercury and a homemade two-horse trailer with one yellow horse in it.
"Leo and I were living at the Live Oak Hotel for $1 a day, and here came Jack knocking on the door. He'd left his car running, because the starter didn't work. Jack roped with Leo and I that whole year in 1966. That yellow horse was broncy, but he was a badass son of a gun. I don't think Jack missed two steers that whole year—at the ropings and the rodeos. That guy was bad."
With the 2021 International Professional Rodeo Association Finals going on right now at the Lazy E Arena in Guthrie, Oklahoma, it's the perfect time to mention the Rasco IPRA Threepeat of the 1960s. Jack Rasco was the 1965 IPRA champion team roper; their dad, Bud, won the 1966 IPRA team roping title; and brother Ronnie was the IPRA champ in 1967. As an aside, another guy who won the IPRA title before making his PRCA move was 1987 IPRA Champ Speed Williams.
"Leo and I amateur rodeoed with Jack in 1966," Jerold said. "At that time, the big amateur outfit in California was called Western Approved Rodeos, or WAR for short. With Jack on our team, I was the 1966 WAR team roping champ, and Leo was the 1966 WAR calf roping and all-around champ.
"After we wiped 'em out in 1966, I decided to do something different in 1967 before joining the (PRCA-predecessor) RCA in 1968, which was the plan. In 1967, Jack Rasco, Billy Colli and me spent the summer in Wyoming and Colorado, jackpotting and open rodeoing. Leo stayed in California that year, but Jack and Billy and I had a big time out there. It was a fun summer I'll never forget. When we weren't roping, we were fishing. We won a lot up there. When we left there, they knew it and were glad to see us go."
IPRA Champ and NFR cowboy Jack Rasco had it all as a header.
The Camarillo connection was game changing for Jack.
"When Jack came to Oakdale, he didn't have a dime," said Jerold, who remembers big brother Rasco having really bad asthma. "In a month or two, he had a brand new car—a red Ford—a brand new horse trailer and $10,000 in his bank account.
"Jack used a really stiff head rope. Back then, most people used a 7/16", unlike the 3/8" ropes people use today. Jack's rope was so stiff that I could heel with it. It was unreal. Jack went for first, and that yellow horse was unbelievable. Jack's claim to fame was that he never missed. And it wasn't a neck or a half head, it was around the horns. Jack Rasco was a bad cat."
Besides brother Ronnie, Jack is survived by his daughter, Amanda, and son, Cy. TRJ

If You Thought 'The Exorcist' Was Scary, Wait Until You Hear The Film's Original Score
Perhaps one of the greatest scary movies of all time, The Exorcist was a horror show before the film even made it to theaters. Several big Hollywood producers of the time turned it down (including Kubrick), the crew became sick with mysterious illnesses, and the toddler of one of the main actors was hit by a motorbike.
Many in the industry believed the film to be "cursed."
Another setback to production was the fact that the film's original score made people actually want to vomit. Composer Lalo Schifrin (who also wrote the Mission: Impossible theme) went all out for the original trailer music. The heaviness of the sounds combined with the intense flashing images allegedly caused viewers to run to the bathrooms.
You've been warned…here's the original trailer for The Exorcist, which caused Warner Bros. to demand director William Friedkin fire Schifrin.
And here is more from Schifrin's expertly creepy score.
(via Dangerous Minds)
Rumor has it that Friedkin was so distraught about the studio's reaction that he took the audio reels and literally threw them out of the window. He decided then to use modern classical compositions to score his movie, most notably the track "Tubular Bells" by Mike Oldfield.

Drama Queen ALERT: Hollywood elite send letter to Congress about Trump and 'Constitutional Crisis'

Reese Witherspoon Has Always Been Wild
Hollywood just refused to see it.

Think of Reese Witherspoon without makeup. She's been walking for days — traversing hundreds of miles. Without water, she might die. Her face is dirty and tanned, her lips are parched, and her eyes stare forward, at nothing, in startling blue clarity.
It's how you'll see Witherspoon in Wild. But it's also how we saw her in A Far Off Place, which was released 21 years ago, when she was 17 years old. They're very different stories — Wild is set along the Pacific Crest Trail; A Far Off Place sends Witherspoon to the Kalahari Desert. This is not to say that Wild is derivative; rather that the months of media claims that Witherspoon's "gritty" and "honest" turn as Cheryl Strayed in the new movie offers up some new, heretofore unseen Reese are simply unfounded.
Like so much Hollywood publicity, it's just a catchy claim that's somewhat blind to history. This "wild" valence of the Witherspoon star persona has been present from the very beginning of her three-decade career, manifested in a cluster of films that live large in the VHS-defined memories of most of us who were teens in the '90s. There's A Far Off Place, but also the 1991 coming-of-age super classic Man in the Moon, the 1996 super-creepy Mark Wahlberg star-maker Fear, playing the ultimate in sexy dirty in Freeway, and what, in my mind, will go down as the definitive proof of Witherspoon's intelligence as an actor: 1999's Election.
That the Hollywood publicity machine has elided this early Witherspoon underlines just how efficiently — and, oftentimes destructively — it flattens the star image. A star becomes the least common denominator of their attributes and roles: Tom Hanks is nothing but nice, Matthew McConaughey is everything tan and smarmy, Sandra Bullock is steely cute, Will Smith is cheerful, unthreatening black masculinity, and so on. They play variations on those roles, on repeat, on the screen, and their "private" lives are molded to reflect the same overarching values.
That univocality of those messages — this is what this star means — is the source of superstardom. It's so legible, easy to understand. Some stars escape the flattening by retreating into "their art" — Meryl Streep and Daniel Day-Lewis, for example, have chosen such diverse projects, and kept their personal lives so relatively private that the only thing they "mean" is acting.
But for most, they must settle into an image — oftentimes one not of their choosing — and decide whether to hang out for the ride or rail against it. Chris Evans, for example, was slotted into a very precise sort of future with his casting in Captain America, but has denounced it; Zac Efron unsuccessfully attempted to leave his teen idol image behind before circling back to it; Miley Cyrus has made her contemporary career out of acting out the antithesis to her Hannah Montana image.
Sometimes, as in the case with Leonardo DiCaprio, Johnny Depp, or Angelina Jolie, the strategy works. They change the conversation of their stardom from the superficial (innocence, beauty) to the cerebral (complexity, talent). They direct; they play ugly; they take on charity causes. But that's the privilege of the contemporary superstar: When they're rich enough, they can stop taking the roles that made them famous. They can afford, both in fiscal and career management terms, to alter the way people think of them — a club into which Witherspoon has only recently elbowed her way.
That's a privilege that was never available to even the most behemoth of classic Hollywood stars. They arrived at their studios as raw material and, through the magic of the studio machine, emerged as ready-made stars with new names, biographies, hobbies, and interview talking points. Margarita Carmen Cansino became a femme fatale named Rita Hayworth; Roy Harold Scherer Jr. became the flannel-shirted heterosexual ideal Rock Hudson. Attempts to break free from those preset images often resulted in scandal (Ingrid Bergman) or backlash (Marilyn Monroe).
A star could, however, take a role that was significantly outside of their image wheelhouse, but only as a means to reinforce that image. Against type, in other words, to reinforce type. Bette Davis, whose image was that of a slightly bitchy but ultimately hardworking and kind New Englander, played super evil — like, kill-your-husband evil — in Little Foxes, which earned her an Oscar nomination. Davis was an amazing actor, but the Academy recognition was, at least in part, due to how effectively she diverged from what was assumed to be her "true" self, aka the type of role she played in every other film.
We see the same thing in contemporary Hollywood, in which performances are lauded when they manifest the epitome of the star's essence (Bullock in The Blind Side; Brad Pitt in Moneyball) or mark such a significant departure (Amy Adams in American Hustle; Jared Leto in Dallas Buyer's Club) that they effectively re-establish the integrity of the original, core image.
Which is all to say that it's really, really difficult for a star to break out of the mold that's been created for them. The conservative logic of contemporary Hollywood prevents it: A star is only valuable inasmuch as they are a static commodity; studios will bank on products in which the star promises to reproduce that known commodity value but balk at those who threaten to compromise it.
There's a reason, in other words, that stars like McConaughey, Kate Hudson, Katherine Heigl, and Vince Vaughn get mired in the rom-com death spiral of deeply shitty movies: Studios would rather green-light a sure thing, no matter how horrible, so long as it reproduces the roles of past hits. In this way, each performance becomes a slightly less vivid reproduction of the one before; a copy of a copy of a wearied, worn out, once-charismatic star.
20th Century Fox / Everett
The last nine years of Reese Witherspoon's career have exemplified this slow degradation. Her image as the perky innocent first began to coalesce in 1999's Cruel Intentions, was solidified in 2001 with Legally Blonde, and was then ossified the following year in Sweet Home Alabama, the mid-budget, totally inoffensive, sometimes adorable rom-com beloved by everyone who's ever watched a movie on cable on a lazy Saturday afternoon. Witherspoon's character Melanie in Alabama is tough, sophisticated, and New York on the outside, but soft and Southern in the inside. The "real" Melanie just wanted to shed her high heels and black pencil skirt and hang out with her high school sweetheart, drink beer, and maybe have some babies — a sentiment mirrored in Witherspoon's own life, as she married her Cruel Intentions co-star Ryan Phillippe at the age of 23, and gave birth to a daughter, Ava, later that year.
She reprised, and thus reified, that image in 2003's Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde, played a slightly more conniving version of Sweet Home Alabama's New York Melanie in Vanity Fair the following year, and won an Oscar for playing the much beleaguered June Carter in 2005's Walk the Line. Her performance is excellent, but it's not a revelatory one so much as one based on a much beloved historical figure in addition to being serious, and thus, in Hollywood logic, worthy of being taken seriously.
Witherspoon's post-Oscar career can only be characterized as banal. There's a high-minded bomb of a thriller (2007's Rendition), a surprisingly lifeless adaptation of an immensely popular book about the circus (2011's Water for Elephants) and a laundry list of highly forgettable rom-com-ish dreck: 2005's Just Like Heaven, 2008's Four Christmases, 2010's How Do You Know, and 2012's This Means War. It was at this point that a New Yorker profile of Ben Stiller grouped Witherspoon with a list of actors, including Mel Gibson, Demi Moore, Russell Crowe, and Keanu Reeves, "who were big stars 10 years ago," but no longer.
Witherspoon read the profile and took action. She told Vogue earlier this year, "It's not that the roles dried up … They just weren't as dynamic or interesting as anything I felt I could do," which reads like code for, "They were the same damn thing over and over again." She was, according to one director, too "Southern and sweet and huge" of a star. Hence the image renovation, or what Vogue calls "the girl next door find[ing] her edge."
That "edge" includes roles as the antithesis of America's sweetheart opposite McConaughey in 2013's Mud, one of several films that put McConaughey's career rejuvenation into motion, and dressed down for a supporting role in this year's The Good Lie. The movie told the story of four Sudanese refugees and, after a premiere at the Toronto Film Festival, quietly disappeared from theaters.
Still, those films were but a prelude to Witherspoon's "new" image, first as a producer of this year's highly anticipated and hotly debated Gone Girl, then as the driving force behind the adaptation of Wild, which she read and pursued before it became a global phenomenon. Once passive to the predetermined trajectory of her image and career, Witherspoon is now regularly described as literally and figuratively owning it.
But similar to what I argued in my "alternative reading" of the McConnaissance, that component of Witherspoon's image has been there all along. In 1999's Man on the Moon, she's a stubborn tomboy; in A Far Off Place, her sidekick, Harry (Ethan Embry), is the bumbling, incompetent damsel in distress to her highly skilled Nonnie as they make their way across 2,000 miles of desert. In both movies, she's a teen, but she's by no means the teen that would grow up to become Elle Woods: With her makeup-less face and utilitarian attitude toward boys, this early picture personality is far more JLaw with The Hunger Games franchise than ditzy blonde in a bubblegum-pink power suit.
Witherspoon's first high-profile "adult" role was opposite Mark Wahlberg, at his most sociopathic, in Fear. She played fairly girl-next-door, but with the exact sort of sexual edge that critics ascribe to her turn in Wild. Mention "the roller coaster scene" — in which Witherspoon guides Wahlberg's hand while he brings her to orgasm while "Wild Horses" plays — to a woman of a certain age, and she will know exactly what you're talking about.
And then there's Election, in which Witherspoon satirizes the sort of buttoned up, perfectionist persona in which her future films would mire her. Usually stars lampoon their images after they've come to define them, but Election shows a weird sort of prescience about what was to come in Witherspoon's career, as if director Alexander Payne saw exactly what Hollywood would do with the type of precocious, heart-faced girl whose parents gave her the nickname "Little Type A."
The brilliance of Witherspoon's performance in Election lies in its illumination of the embittered underside of perfection: The harder you hew to its prescribed boundaries, the movie suggests, the crazier you become. Not only is it the truth to the lie of Witherspoon's future performances, but it also suggests an intelligence about what it means to be a woman in the world that a film like Legally Blonde, for all of its Harvard law degrees, obscures.
Witherspoon's performance in Wild has the same rawness, anger, bravery, and vulnerability of her performances in those early films, many of which have been largely forgotten, but they nonetheless evidence her startling, invigorating capacity as an actor. It's not as if Witherspoon, herself, didn't realize as much: "When people underestimate me, it's actually a comfortable place for me," she told Vogue. "Oh, that's what you think I am; well, no I'm not. I'm a complex human being. I have many different shades."
While those sides are perhaps most visible in her earlier work, it's not as if they disappeared when she started playing rom-com heroines. As Gawker's Caity Weaver brilliantly pointed out last year, Witherspoon's "private" life can be divided into two spheres: the proper Southern belle, who writes prompt thank-you cards and looks great in modest mom shorts and goes on three-mile runs, and the darker, "terrifying" Reese, whom Weaver dubs "Laura Jean," Witherspoon's birth name.
If Reese loves posting inspirational quotes and photos of her shoes in falling leaves on Instagram, then Laura Jean wears a dress that shows a lot of sideboob to a big celebrity function, gets drunk, and tells a supermodel in the elevator that the "most important thing in a name, for a girl" is "that a man can whisper it into his pillow."
Laura Jean also got wasted and mouthed off to cops when her husband was pulled over for DUI; Reese apologized sincerely for it on Good Morning America. Laura Jean drops the f-bomb constantly; Reese dresses up to walk through a parking lot. Laura Jean stars in Wild; Reese clunks her way through Four Christmases.
Of course, there aren't two Reese Witherspoons — there's just society's generalized incapacity to allow a woman to contain multitudes, especially if they're seemingly at odds. The problem with the virgin/whore dichotomy, after all, isn't virgins, or whores, but the idea that a woman couldn't possibly contain vestiges of both, and embrace them equally. After all, that's what makes a text like Wild so exquisite: its ability to reconcile the seemingly irreconcilable or, as Strayed puts it in the passage that ends both the memoir and the film, "What if I was sorry, but if I could go back in time I wouldn't do anything differently that I had done?"
MGM / Everett
Hollywood loves a comeback, and will certainly embrace this one from Witherspoon. The reviews of Wild, in which she appears in nearly every scene, are glowing, and predictions of another Oscar are gaining strength. The irony, of course, is that the powers that have and will continue to celebrate her performance are, in large part, the same ones that would've prevented it from happening.
The lesson of Witherspoon's career — and, by extension, contemporary Hollywood stardom — is thus startling in its simplicity: The very image that shot you to stardom will, unchecked, also lead you to the end of it. The solution, however, isn't necessarily to abandon it altogether — there's something in any superstar image, after all, that has and will always resonate. Rather, it's to expand, and amplify, the valences that have been there all along.
Reese Witherspoon has always been some sort of wild. It just took a film of her own producing for us to remember.

Kevin Sorbo goes after Hollywood hypocrites, skewers Matt Damon
http://twitter.com/#!/ksorbs/status/410791404512632833
Count "Hercules" and "Andromeda" actor Kevin Sorbo among the conservative celebs willing to call out the hypocrisy of liberal Hollywood. His full message via Facebook:
Hollywood doesn't like the truth. They can't handle the truth. "Live as I say, not as I live". This is their mantra.
A timely message as Obamacare-lovin' celebs take to social media to push the #GetCovered campaign. How many plan to practice what they preach?
Sorbo recently talked to John Stossel about the entertainment industry:

http://twitter.com/#!/chuckiedee1/status/410801865903726592
Sorbo also ripped into Matt Damon.
Last December, Damon told Tavis Smiley, "I need to pay more taxes." Sorbo shared the video and responded on Facebook:
OMG! Matt should just pay more taxes then. He talks here and says nothing. Amazing the hypocrisy in Hollywood. Comparing people who pay the vast majority of the taxes in America, and to complain about paying more taxes, to living in the Congo? Haiti?? Is he nuts??!!! Such a ridiculous interview. By the way, do you think Matt Damon flies coach? I have to fly coach most of the time. Wish I could fly private like he does, but I can't afford it. Do you think he drives a beat up car? Live in a run down apartment? I don't begrudge him his success. He is a great actor and I go to his movies. He has earned his success, but he needs to stop feeling guilty about his success. America is still the greatest country on this planet. But, we are putting an end to that quickly.

You'll Never Believe Who Makes The Most Money On TV
googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('VN_PG_DTBT_ATF'); });
In Hollywood, there's an unspoken rule that the bigger the star, the bigger the paycheck. And while most celebrities can make a killing by starring in a box-office smash, not everyone can (or wants to) break out into the movies. In fact, actors, actresses, and TV personalities are proving that television might just be where the real money's at.
In a recent report from Variety, the top-earning men and women in television were broken down into three categories: drama, comedy, and reality/host/news. Some of the celebs below may come as no surprise, but I bet you can't guess the daytime star that tops the list as the highest-paid person in television.
1. Sofia Vergara – $250,000 per episode
Since 2009, Vergara has portrayed Gloria Delgado-Pritchett on ABC's smash-hit comedy "Modern Family," which is now in its eighth season. This Colombian-American actress rakes in an estimated $6 million per season.
googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('VN_PG_DCBM_BTF'); });
2. Kevin Spacey – $500,000 per episode
Netflix has given traditional broadcast television a run for its money over the last decade, and it's really beginning to show. Kevin Spacey stars in the lead role of the streaming service's Emmy-winning drama "House of Cards," and each season, he walks away with $6.5 million.
3. Ellen DeGeneres – $20 million per year
Since starting her own daytime talk show in 2003, Ellen DeGeneres has been serving up witty jokes and laughing her way to the bank. Not including her numerous endorsement deals, this hysterical comedian takes home an estimated $20 million a year. Not too shabby!
googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('VN_PG_DCI1_BTF'); });
4. Matt Lauer – $22-25 million per year
Matt Lauer has been delighting viewers as a co-anchor of NBC's "Today" show since 1997. Now in his 19th year with the program, Lauer brings home between $22-25 million per year for his early-morning antics.
5. Jim Parsons – $1 million per episode
Parsons is known for playing the egocentric Sheldon Cooper on CBS's "The Big Bang Theory," now in its tenth season. Parsons, along with fellow cast members Kaley Cuoco and Johnny Galecki, make an estimated $1 million per episode.
But you might be surprised to learn that the person earning the most money on television is…Judge Judy.
Judge Judy Sheindlin might just be the hardest-working woman on TV, and her earnings certainly reflect that. America's favorite small claims court judge makes a whopping $47 million a year. With an income like that, who are we to judge?

The Folklore Behind The Hollywood Horror Movie 'The Witch' Is Truly Terrifying
If you're a fan of genuinely creepy horror films, then you've probably heard about the upcoming movie from director Robert Eggers called The Witch.
So far, the reviews for the film have been stellar, and audiences are delighted by the genuinely unnerving horror of The Witch. When the credits roll and the lights go up, most people believe that everything they saw was simply a work of fiction and they have nothing to worry about, right?
Well, not so fast…
This week, Eggers sat down to talk about his new film and exactly how he researched it.
As it turns out, the film was inspired by history, not fiction.
"In the early modern period, the real world and the fairy tale world — for everyone but the extreme intelligentsia — were the same thing. People really believed that the old lady down the lane that they were calling a 'witch' was actually a fairy-tale ogress, capable of doing the most horrible things," he told the blog io9.
"It was very easy to dig into that and be obsessed with trying to bring the audience back to the 17th century and show them a Puritan's nightmare. I wanted to bring them back to the time when a witch was a really powerful thing, and not a cheesy plastic Halloween costume," said Eggers.
Eggers said he also dug into writings from the time to find dialogue for the movie.
"As I was reading, I would find sentences and phrases that worked and I would write them down constantly. Then I would organize them into different situations where they might be used," said Eggers. "Earlier drafts of the script were these monstrous, cannibalized versions of other people's stuff in a weird collage, which then got shaped into something that was more mine. However, there are some things that are absolutely intact. A lot of the things the children say when they're possessed are supposedly things that children actually said when they were possessed, and so on."
Needless to say, all of this meticulous research has paid off in a big way. It's looking like The Witch might just be the creepiest movie of 2016. Judge for yourself in the trailer below.
(via: Daily Grail)
Personally, I can't wait to check out this film despite the fact that I know it will scare the living daylights out of me. It's all part of the job I suppose…

Indian American, 4 others plead guilty to $1.2M jewelry heist
Indian American Amit "Alex" Patel, 28, along with Mimi Chang, 42, and Danny Ray Horne, 28, plead guilty to stealing $1.2 million in diamonds and jewelry during a 2016 heist, according to a WCPO report.

According to a WCPO report, the salesmen had stopped at a restaurant in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, after a show on April 2, 2016.
While one salesman went into the restaurant, the other stayed in the car with the suitcases of jewelry that Patel and his conspirers stole after punching the salesman.
Andrea Mullins, 35 and Deanna "Dee Dee" Williams, 36, were also involved in the heist and have already pleaded guilty to committing the crime.
According to WCPO, Patel has been involved in three separate jewelry robberies since 2013 and has been charged for two of them as he allegedly left behind something which linked him to the crimes.
They will all face up to 20 years in prison.
