New employment or career options may compete for your attention over the next 4 to 5 months.

Although many outdoor activities were halted last week because of soggy ground, this week's steamy weather provided Minton and a group of skateboarders with a perfect Monday for skating near Wescoe Hall.

Psycho voted No.1 thriller by American Film Institute
The Associated Press
The rest of the top 10 were: No. 5, "The Silence of the Lambs"; No. 6, "Alien"; No. 8, "The French Connection"; and No. 9, "Rosemarv's Baby."
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The mother of all slasher films, "Psycho," topped the American Film Institute list of 100 most thrilling movies, with "jaws" and "The Exorcist" coming in second and third.
The rankings were announced in a special aired Tuesday night on CBS. The institute began issuing an annual list on different movie themes three years ago, with a roster of the top 100 American films.
"Psycho" director Alfred Hitchcock and "Jaws" director Steven Spielberg combined for 15 films on the list released Tuesday.
Hitchcock placed two movies on the list, with two others in the top 10—"North by Northwest" at No.4 and "The Birds" at No.7. Spielberg had six films, including "Raiders of the Lost Ark" at No.10.
The latest list was chosen by about 1,800 directors, actors, studio executives, critics and others in Hollywood, who voted from a field of 400 nominated movies.
Considering that 16 Hitchcock films were nominated, there was little doubt he would fare well. And it's small surprise that "Psycho" led the way, considering that even co-star Janet Leigh was so affected by her death scene in the shower that she only takes baths to this day.
"Psycho' scared the hell out of me when I saw it finished. Making it and seeing it are two different things," Leigh said. "That staccato
music and the knife flashing. You'd swear it's going into the body. I still don't take showers, and that's the truth."
The 1960 Hitchcock classic starred Anthony Perkins as mild-mannered Norman Bates, a nutcase who donned his dead mother's clothes to kill Leigh's character, a guest at the Bates Motel.
Linda Blair, who scored an Oscar nomination as the demonically possessed girl in "The Exorcist," said she still hears from fans who were so terrified by the movie that they recall exactly when, where and with whom they saw it.
"If you do one project in your lifetime that people remember like that, that's a terrific thing to have been a part of," Blair said.
While the list was heavy on horror, mystery and murder, it also included suspenseful dramas. "The Godfather" ranked 11th, "The Great Escape" was 19th, "Lawrence of Arabia" was 23rd and "Casablanca" was 37th.
The list featured Westerns such as "High Noon" (No. 20) and "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" (No. 54), the boxing flick "Rocky" (No. 52) and even "The Wizard of Oz" (No. 43).
"It cuts across drama and disaster and epic and horror and music and noir and sci-fi and sports and Westerns," said Jean Picker Firstenburg, the institute's director. "Each of these genres can affect you with the same emotional response, which is that your heart races."

Congress threatens to institute ratings for hip-hop industry
NEW YORK — Members of Congress urged the hip-hop industry yesterday to better regulate the content of its records before Washington beats them to it.
The Recording Industry Association of America voluntarily puts parental advisory stickers on CDs that it deems inappropriate for children. But Rep. Earl Hillard (D-Alabama) said that was not enough and suggested a ratings system similar to the movie industry's.
Sen. Joseph Lieberman (D-Connecticut), recently introduced legislation that would give the Federal Trade Commission the authority under its false and deceptive advertising laws to act against entertainment companies that market "unsuitable" material to children.
"Washington can regulate you out of business if you do not have your act together," said Rep. Bennie Thompson, (D-Mississippi).
Among those present for the first day of the summit — aimed at addressing hip-hop issues, including artist's responsibility — was Luther "Luke" Campbell, whose raunchy lyrics during his 2 Live Crew days challenged free speech laws.
Campbell said he was disappointed by Lieberman's criticism of rap.
"We've got somebody, Lieberman, that we supported seriously in the election, as black people, and he's the one that's mainly attacking us. To me, that's really a slap in the face," Campbell said.
A representative for the former vice presidential candidate declined to comment.
Bob Barker signs new deal to continue as show's host
LOS ANGELES — Bob Barker has agreed to stay on as host of The Price is Right through 2006, the durable game show's 34th season on CBS.
Barker, 77, signed a new five-year contract with the daytime program for which he's won 14 Emmy Awards. He said he was "humbled" by the network's confidence in him over the years.
The show, which started in 1957 on NBC, is among the highest-rated on daytime TV. Barker's new contract was announced Thursday during taping of the new season's premiere episode. The terms of his contract were not disclosed.
Joining Nikki Ziering will be two new assistants, Claudia Jordan and Heather Kozar, the 1999 Playboy playmate of the year.
Grammys add new category in rap for 101 total awards
