Two days ago, we discussed the sad story of Lt. D’Amato along with some interesting factoids. Now it’s time to learn about the actor who played him, Arthur Batanides. His interest in show business started during World War II when he would entertain his fellow soldiers with his comedy routines. Once the war was over, he began classes at the old Actor’s Studio. Before long, he was finding plenty of work in television and in film as a character actor. If you watch enough TV reruns from the 60s and 70s, you probably have seen Arthur Batanides in a small guest part. Trivia - During the late 1940s, Batanides shared a rented house with Fred Freiberger while they were both taking classes at the Actor’s Studio. It was Fred who hired his friend for the part of D’Amato in the third season of Star Trek. But Fred also helped him land a few roles in another show, The Wild, Wild West. (Freiberger wrote one of the episodes in which Arthur appeared - “The Night of fthe Dancing Death").

Arthur Batanides is mainly known for playing a heavy in movies and television. In the first photo on the left, he plays Clay Boudreau in an episode of 87th Precinct, one of three crooks who decide to hypnotize Greg Brovane into confessing to a robbery (and killings) he did not commit. In the middle of the group is another Star Trek guest star, Morgan Woodward. Mark Lenard (left) and Arthur Batanides (left) appear in the Mission Impossible episode “The Rebel.”

However, he first became known as an actor in a sci-fi series and went on to act in many other science fiction shows.

Art Batanides got his first acting start in the 1949-50 KTLA TV series The Armchair Detective. But his first semi-regular role was as a recurring villain in the sci fi television series Rod Brown of the Rocket Rangers. In an interview for Starlog 189, Batanides remembers being followed on the set by one of the extras who would drive him nuts practicing his comedy routines which often involved sound effects like that of a machine gun. It turned out to be comedian Jonathan Winters. He also did a few cheesy sci fi movies. In the first one titled The Unearthly (1957) he played a good guy trying to stop John Carradine’s evil plot. A few years later, Batanides appears as one of victims of June Talbor aka “The Leech Woman” in the movie of the same name. Both films have been lovingly reviewed in Mystery Science Theater 3000. The actor chuckled during his Starlog interview as he recalled how terrible these were, so bad that he and the other actors had to bite their lips.

He was cast in two Twilight Zone episodes, “Mr. Denton on Doomsday” and “The Mirror.” In the latter episode, Peter Falk plays a Castro-like revolutionary named Ramos Clemente has a mirror that tells him which of his trusted supporters will attempt to assassinate him. One of his victims is played by Arthur Batanides and is named Tabal, ironically the leader of Clemente’s execution squad. Supposedly Tabal was based on real-life Che Guevera who had played a similar role in Castro’s rise to power.

He played a character named Lt. Garvin, one of the astronauts in “Specimen: Unknown” for The Outer Limits along with two of his former acting school friends, Russell Johnson and Richard Jaeckel. The plot involved astronaut/researchers bringing back plants that they discover on the planet. Unknown to them, the plants soon begin to emit spores and then a deadly gas which threatens the crew. The spores allow them to multiply rapidly. Does this plot sound familiar to Trek fans? Hmmm..... There are several other Star Trek connections as well. 1) this episode was directed by Gerd Oswald who would go on to direct “The Alternative Factor” and “The Conscience of the King.” 2) Robert Justman was the assistant director on the set just as he was for the first two Star Trek pilots. He eventually wound up as the associate producer and then finally the co-producer. 3) Bob Johnson and Vic Perrin both did voice-overs for this episode and also provided the same on several episodes of Star Trek. Vic was most famous as the Control Voice which was heard at the beginning of every show. 4) Finally, Fred Phillips was the makeup supervisor for this episode and performed the same duty on all three seasons of Star Trek. “Specimen: Unknown” earned the highest ratings of the first season. But Batanides bemoaned the fact that the whole show had a low budget and that none of the astronaut suits matched. A complaint we Star Trek fans are familiar with.

In The Time Tunnel’s episode titled “Attack of the Barbarians” Batanides was Batu Khan, Kubla Khan’s grandson. The actor has quite vivid memories of this character because he had to sit in the makeup chair for two hours and then they covered his head with a stretchy cloth so he appeared bald. But if you look at the results above, it appears the makeup artists did a wonderful job. Star Trek connections abound in this episode as well. Of course Lee Meriwether (Dr. Ann McGregor) would appear with him a few years later as Losira in “That Which Survives.” Another major character, Lt. General Haywood Kirk, was played by Whit Bissell, who also played the beleaguered station manager Lurry in “The Trouble with Tribbles.” There were also connections with two stunt people. Charlie Picerni was James Darren’s stunt double on the show itself (his brother Paul played a Mongol warrior in this episode). We saw him on Star Trek as a security guard in “Day of the Dove.” David Sharpe also performed stunts not only in this episode of The Time Tunnel, but he was also James Daly’s stunt double in “Requiem for Methusaleh” and was a stuntman in “Day of the Dove.”

Batanides next appeared as a caveman leader named Rongah in “The Space Primevals,” a 1967 episode of Lost in Space. Art remembers having to wear the animal skin and wig and doing an impromptu caveman dance in one scene. Rongah and his people worship a giant computer named Protineus. The machine convinces the cave people that the humans are a danger to their people, ordering them to lock up Major West and Dr. Smith. It becomes clear that Protineus is acting much like Landru in “Return of the Archons.” There is even a scene where The Robot tries to confound Protineus by performing a series of magic tricks, much like Captain Kirk confounding computers in many episodes. Not many other Star Trek Connections here except for Sandy Gimpel (a Talosian in “The Cage”) as Will Robinson’s stunt double and Fred Steiner’s music.

For the most part, Art was not too enthusiastic about taking roles in science fiction, despite the number of them in which he appeared. He was afraid it was going to wind up getting him typecast. When Freiberger offered him the part of D’Amato in “That Which Survives,” he was pleasantly surprised that his character was not the heavy nor did he have to do anything ridiculous like jump around the stage doing a caveman dance. D’Amato was pretty much a straight up role and Batanides enjoyed doing the show. Ironically, the role of D’Amato is one of the two roles for which he is most remembered. Asked what he remembered most about the episode, Batanides recalled they had the planet set on rollers to make it easier to simulate the earthquakes that rocked the planet. He was impressed with all the cast members, especially Leonard Nimoy. Trivia - During the late 1940s, Batanides shared a rented house with Fred Freiberger while they were both taking classes at the Actor’s Studio. It was Fred who hired his friend for the part of D’Amato in the third season of Star Trek. But Fred also helped him land a few roles in another show, The Wild, Wild West. (Freiberger wrote one of the episodes in which Arthur appeared - “The Night of the Dancing Death.”

Freiberger was not the only influential friend he had. Over the years, Batanides had worked on many movie and television shows with director Jerry Paris, another friend of his from the Actor’s Lab. Jerry was made director of the first sequel to Police Academy. As he was looking over the script, he noticed a character who had been scratched out. However, he decided it was a great role and called Art to play Mr. Kirkland, father of the Kirkland family. Batanides today is still most often remembered for his role as Mr. Kirkland and as D’Amato. He retired after doing one last Police Academy movie (City Under Siege) and spent the last ten years of his life doing a few roles but mainly traveling various places with his wife. He died of natural causes in January of 2000.

~AFTER THE STORM CHALLENGE~

So, I’ve decided to begin ANOTHER challenge. I’m not quite ready to accept that Pixel is gone from my shameless legacy, so I’m avoiding opening that save to play on without him.. In the meantime I’m going to be playing the “After The Storm Challenge” A challenge that I wrote as an adaption of the ‘SETTLERS CHALLENGE’ All credit goes to the original creator, I’ve kept A LOT of the original content, and have really just re-written their challenge to suit my own play style/needs... So, If you’re keen to play along with the rules I’m following, I’ll post my rewrite of the challenge under the cut.... Annnyway, Introducing....

Norah & Az Tribble.

Norah Tribble: (Primary Founder) Aspiration: Outdoors enthusiast Traits: Dog lover, Hot Headed, Family oriented. Az Tribble Aspiration: Angling Ace Traits: Loves the outdoors, Evil, Self assured Also, I can’t be bothered with a banner for this challenge just yet.. I may or may not create one down the track.

After The Storm Challenge.

After your founders village was wiped out by a catastrophic storm and the very few who survived all fled to take refuge in other villages, it was left up to your founder to stay behind alone and begin to rebuild the community to what it had once been.

Aim: Pick any sims 4 world,(except San Myshuno) bulldoze everything and start rebuilding from scratch.

Rules -

- Pick a small lot to build a starter house for your founder - Money cheat can be used, but the house must be under 45,000 simoleons. Once you have your house built, set family funds to $0.

-Your founder must be a Young Adult.- Life span must be set to normal.

- You may not travel to other worlds - (Unless traveling to complete a task for your heir’s aspiration- they must go alone - or going on Vacation to Granite Falls -family may join)

- Heir must be a child of the previous heir - The method you use to select your heirs is entirely up to you.

- All children (other than the next heir) must move out when they age up to YA - Only the heirs spouse may be moved into the family and must not bring any funds with them. - Traits and Aspirations for new family members are always randomized using a trait generator. - When adding a new family to your village use a die or number generator set 1-6 to decide how many sims will be in that family. (If you roll 5 or 6, it MUST be a 2 parent household, if you roll 4 or under, it’s up to you weather you create a 2 parents, or a single parent household.)

-Story progression allowed if you have MCCC..

-You can either build your own lots, or download them from the Gallery. You may even choose to save the original premade game lots to your library before you bulldoze them and add them back as you unlock them. - Completely up to you how you do it.

-Each Heir must complete their aspiration before moving onto the next heir. -Each heir can only unlock up to 2 community lots in their lifetime.

- You may begin the challenge with a ‘founder couple’ rather than a single founder if you prefer, but you must select one as your primary founder.

-(Optional) Only the founder/Heir can be played, all other sims in the family are to be left on free will. If you include this rule, you can also have a ‘helper’ if you choose (One other sim in the family who is allowed to perform 5 interactions a day to help out ie. Water plants, feed the baby… etc.) There is also an exception for this rule during the school restriction part of the challenge, where you’ll need to control your child/teen sims in order to have them complete the homeschool rules. (explained in restrictions section)

Restrictions -

School - Children cannot go to school until you have at least 8 children/toddlers living in your village (only 2 children from your own family can count within the 8) Until then they are ‘homeschooled’ each child is to complete homework (including extra credit if it’s an option) & earn at least one skill point each day - The skill point can be any skill you choose.

Hospital -Hospital births are not allowed and woohooing could always lead to pregnancy, Either set risky woohoo to 20% or if you don’t have MCCC use a die (or number generator set 1-6), rolling a 1 = ‘Try for a Baby’ and 2,3,4,5 or 6 = ‘Woohoo With’ You may also ‘try for baby’ any time you like if your aim is to have a child…

Electricity - No Item that requires electricity is allowed until you have 2 community lots and 12 sims (your sims included) in your village, also ONE sim in your household must have level 4 handiness.

*Exceptions to this rule being Lights, Fridge and Stove, Although if you want to make it more difficult, apply this rule to everything.

Careers - Your founders/Heirs cannot have a ‘normal’ job as there are no companies or infrastructure in your village. To earn Money they can sell items they find, create or grow… (ie. Painting, Fishing, collecting, harvesting.) To unlock career’s there must be at least 2 community lots, 15 sims in your village and your sim must have at least level 4 of any skill related to the career they wish to join. eg. Writing skill for writing career, cooking to be a chef etc. (this is only required for one skill if multiple skills apply to a career)

Lots -

It depends on what world you choose to rebuild how many of each lot type will be required, (I’m doing Newcrest) the world you choose will also determine how long/how many generations your challenge will be (world with more lots will take longer)

Newcrest - 6 Community Lots & 9 Residential Lots

Willow Creek - 7 Community Lots & 14 Residential Lots

Oasis Springs - 9 Community Lots & 12 Residential Lots

Windenburg - 13 community Lots & 14 Residential Lots

Brindelton Bay - 6 community Lots & 10 Residential Lots

*Note: Your founders lot counts as one of your residential lots.

- Add lots by going to manage world, clicking on the lot you wish to build on then click build mode.

Requirements for adding Residential Lots -

- Be Charismatic: For each sim in the family who achieves level 6 charisma a new household can be added.

- Throw Parties: Achieve a gold medal party to add another household/house. This can only be done once for each party type and only housed sims from within your village may be invited to these parties - no homeless sims, or sims visiting from other villages/worlds.

- Improved infrastructure: For each community lot built, a household/house can be added.

Requirements for Adding Community Lots -

It’s up to you as to which of these lots you add and in which order you add them….You just have to stick to the number required of each lot type for each world as mentioned above. -preferably only one of each community lot type per world, although some of the larger worlds may need more than one of some eg. If you’re rebuilding windenburg you may want 2 bars or parks etc.)

Also, a few of the lots listed require game/expansion packs, so you’ll need to pick and choose your lots depending on what packs you own.

-Bar. Heir must have level 6 mixology skill & own 2 full grown (and alive) cow plants.

-Night club. Heir must have 6 friends outside of the family & Level 3 on any instrument -Library. Heir must have Level 6 of writing skill and published one excellent book with the publisher - Church/Wedding Venue. Heir must have level 6 Charisma skill & found a soulmate.

-Park. Heir must have Level 6 in gardening skill & have grown 3 excellent plants -Museum. Heir must have level 6 Logic skill & carve 3 sculptures on the woodwork table.

-Art Gallery. Heir must have Level 6 Painting skill & painted 2 master pieces -Cafe/bakery. Heir must have level 6 homestyle cooking skill & go on 2 gold level dates.

- Restaurant. Heir must have Level 6 gourmet cooking skill & held a gold level dinner party

-Gym. Have level 6 fitness & Join the fitness career. - Vet Clinic. Heir must have level 6 pet training skill & max level friendship with a pet.

- Bowling Alley. Heir must have level 6 comedy skill & joke about fashion with 4 different sims. - Spa. Heir must have level 6 in wellness skill & own a massage table - Ruins. (windenburg) Heir must have level 6 mischief & Befriend a ghost

Each community lot can also be bought for $6000 simoleons if you’re not able to/don’t want to do the required tasks to unlock them. To do this you need to have the money in your family funds BEFORE you begin building, you then subtract that money from the funds using the money cheat to pay for it.

[S5054] Special Presidential Panel: MESA, ACLU and the Muslim Ban

Participants: Beth Baron (City University of New York), Asli Bali (UCLA), Cody Wofsy (ACLU)

On March 10, 2017, MESA joined the ACLU and other partner organizations and individuals in a federal lawsuit challenging President Trump's second Muslim ban executive order (International Refugee Assistance Project v. Trump). The case made its way through the federal courts and was placed onto the U.S. Supreme Court docket, but the appeal was dismissed as moot after the expiration of the partial travel ban the Supreme Court allowed to go into effect over the summer. The Trump administration issued a new presidential proclamation imposing a ban on eight countries (Chad, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria, and Venezuela) with no expiration date. MESA and its fellow plaintiffs challenged this third version as well, and on October 17 the judge blocked it from going into full effect. The government has now appealed that ruling. Cody Wofsy (Staff Attorney, ACLU Immigrants' Rights Project) joins MESA President Beth Baron (City College and Graduate Center, CUNY) and Asli Bali (UCLA School of Law), for a discussion about the administration’s effort to ban travel from certain countries and its impact on higher education.
