NORTH KINGSVILLE — David Hersholt Kalinsky III, age 43, passed away Tuesday, Nov. 26, 2013, in North Kingsville, Ohio.
He was born Jan. 9, 1970, to his parents, Mary Ellen Mysyk and David "Griz" Kalinsky in Englewood, Calif..
His daughter Jules remembers him as a loving father who enjoyed playing in the snow, playing baseball, and watching movies with her. Her fondest memory is going on a sled ride with him, hitting a bump, losing her tooth and never finding it. They laughed about it all the time.
Dave is survived by his daughters, Juliana "Jules" Kalinsky and Amanda Kalinsky; son, George Dunavant; two grandchildren, Chloe and Brian; mother, Mary Ellen Mysyk; father, Dave "Griz" Kalinsky; and sisters, Michelle Kalinsky, Eileen Luebking and Cher Kalinsky.
He was preceded in death by his brother, David Kalinsky II; and sisters, Julie Mysyk and Anna Sage.
Private services will be held by his family.

A Sexy Sharon Stone Shows Major Cleavage, Side Boob In Cannes
May 22nd, 2013 12:00pm EDT
Sharon Stone definitely did not look her age at the "Behind The Candelabra" premiere during the Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday.
The actress, who turned 55 in March, turned heads in an electric blue dress with a plunging neckline. The blonde-haired beauty strolled down the red carpet with a diamond and emerald necklace and matching earrings.
Stone, known for roles in films such as "Casino" and "Total Recall," came out in support of the HBO film, which features her former "Basic Instinct" co-star Michael Douglas as Liberace.
The actress also attended the de Grisogono Party yesterday wearing a crimson one-shouldered dress that showed off a little side boob.
She's got it, and she's flaunting it!
Stone stars in a handful of films this year, including "God Behaving Badly" about Greek gods living in modern-day New York and "Fading Gigolo" about a guy who becomes a professional Don Juan to help his friend earn some money.

In any case, you should just try it. No need to tell anyone else who doesn't support your decision. Just don't give up. I have two sister-in-laws who went through fertility and both have beautiful children. In fact, through infertility drugs and IUI, one of them gave birth today to twins.
Really depressing to see everyone around me having babies except me.
Yeah we are not listening to her, we have an appointment with a doctor anyway. I just cannot believe my own mother said that, it hurt so much. I havn't told anyone else since then because of fear of how they will react. I'm trying not to give up, but it is hard because for some reason I had it in my mind when we first started TTC that it would happen fast because everyone around us was getting pregnant as soon as they wanted, but now that it is taking so long, now I keep thinking it will never happen. That's why the fertility tests and treatments are shedding some light onto my doubts, but it is hard to stay positive when people who should be supporting are not and make me feel worse.

I know people who say they instinctively duck when they drive under , afraid the bridges will come tumbling down. There are others who say the seemingly expanding number of potholes seem to symbolize the state's fiscal woes. But most everyone agrees: something must be done to fix Fairfield County's infrastructure.
"We recognize that we have ignored deteriorating infrastructure for too long. But we also have to consider that Fairfield County supports much of the state and has some of the most heavily used roads," said state Rep. Jonathan Steinberg, a Democrat representing Westport in the 136th House District.
The Connecticut Department of Transportation's five-year capital plan calls for about $6 billion. According to DOT, even if the fund were flush, another $15 billion to $20 billion in projects would remain.
Look at it another way. Right now there are about 2,000 bridge repairs or maintenance jobs statewide, compared with 531 such jobs in 2000.
Area legislators who attended a recent talk on transportation agree with one thing: federal grants to finance, maintain and expand the state's transportation network are going to become as scarce as WHAT. Because of that, there is some chatter that people need to consider highway tolls and perhaps a sales tax surcharge.
"I would consider a sales tax raise abhorrent," Steinberg said.
However, he said no harm could come of discussing tolls. Steinberg said he would consider tolls if there was a way to mitigate the cost for residents — either through credits, rebates or reduced rates. And the state would have to campaign hard to overcome public opposition to tolls.
"When you do a toll, it disadvantages certain people and not others," said state Sen. Toni Boucher, a Republican who represents Bethel, New Canaan, Ridgefield, , Westport, and Wilton in the 26th Senate District.
Boucher also said the legality of doing a 'congestion' toll needs to be examined. Instead she said the state might do well to consider public-private partnerships using the model of restrooms.
State Rep. Kim Fawcett, a Democrat representing Fairfield and Westport in the 1363r House District doesn't think Fairfield County residents would go for increased raid fares or new highway tolls if there were no guarantees that the money would only be used for transportation related needs.
"Fairfield County residents believe that tolls would be an unfair tax on people who live in southwestern Connecticut if the revenue were not spent on transportation and infrastructure improvements in that area of the state," Fawcett said.
So everyone wants a transportation lockbox. But everyone also knows the state has raided special funds in the past — be it transportation or monies won in civil suits against tobacco companies. Those funds were supposed to be used to fund smoking cessation programs. Instead they went to help fill the state's budget shortfall.
"The point is every time we say money is in a lock transportation it raided," Steinberg said.
In a similar situation, state Rep. Gail Lavielle, a Republican representing Wilton and Norwalk in the 143rd House District is proposing legislation to ensure that money from Metro-North fare hikes only be used for Metro-North rail improvements and maintenance. So far there is bi-partisan support for the legislation.
"Transportation fees should go to transportation needs," Boucher said.

|French and Indian War
|the war (1755--60) between the French and British, each aided by different Indian tribes, that formed part of the North American Seven Years' War
A series of military engagements between Britain and France in North America between 1754 and 1763. The French and Indian War was the American phase of the Seven Years' War, which was then underway in Europe. In a battle between British and French forces near Quebec City in Canada, the British gained control of all of Canada.
Note: At the start of the war, several thousand French-speaking residents of Acadia (Nova Scotia and adjacent areas) who refused to swear allegiance to Britain were exiled. Many eventually made their way to southern Louisiana, where they developed the distinctive language and culture known as Cajun.

The Buffalo Bills' defense nearly was flawless on third down.
And the one they gave up was the least likely to convert.
The Jacksonville Jaguars gained 18 yards on a third-and-17 play in the first quarter. It was their only conversion out of 10 tries on a wet and windy Sunday. Dave Wannstedt's defense also stopped the Jaguars on three fourth-down plays.
The Bills hadn't allowed fewer than three third-down conversions or lower than 27 percent this year.
"The weather played a good part in it," Bills safety Jairus Byrd said after beating the Jaguars 34-18 in Ralph Wilson Stadium. "A couple of those were dropped passes, and the ball kind of went through their hands.
"Then we did a good job with the play calling. Coach Wannstedt called some plays for the elements. We didn't allow some of the short routes that they wanted and ran coverages to take those away."
The Bills also were helped by strong defense on first and second down. The Jaguars needed an average of 9.5 yards to move the chains on third down.
Only once did the Jaguars have a conversion attempt shorter than 5 yards. On that third-and-1 play, Bills safety Da'Norris Searcy and defensive tackle Kyle Williams tackled Jaguars running back Montell Owens for a 1-yard loss.
Jaguars quarterback Chad Henne completed three of his nine third-down attempts for 38 yards.
But that one conversion ...
For the second straight week the Bills gave up a third-and-17 play. Indianapolis Colts rookie Andrew Luck connected with Reggie Wayne for 25 yards to keep a touchdown drive alive in Week 11.
When Henne spotted Cecil Shorts on the right sideline for 18 yards in the first quarter Sunday, the play seemed much more troubling at the time.
The Bills rushed three defenders and had eight in coverage.
"I don't know what to say," Williams said. "It's one of those deals you don't expect to happen. Your hope is the coverage is behind the receivers with the three-man rush up front, and they throw the ball short. Everybody rallies to the ball, and you get off the field.
"That was a big play. It was a fluke deal, but no matter what the reason is, you have to really focus up on those third-and-long plays. You can't just get lax and say, 'OK, they're going to dump it off, and we'll make the tackle.' You can't ever relax, no matter the down or distance.
"Plays that you don't expect to happen always will happen if you're not mentally into it."

It's been a good week for New York sports. Mariano Rivera is back with the Yankees for another year, the Jets are still alive in the playoff race and the Giants crushed the Saints. David Wilson is finally being appreciated for his speed and strength when running the ball and R.A. Dickey's trade value has been steadily rising. All this and more covered in this week's NYSE.
Question of the Week
Cowboys defensive tackle Josh Brent hopped into his Mercedes with his practice squad teammate Jerry Brown last Saturday night. Brent was believed to be traveling at a high rate of speed down a highway service road after a night out and a number of drinks. A few moments later Brent was trying to drag Brown's body from his car which had flipped and caught fire.
"You get a new outlook on life and some of the mistakes I've made. You realize a lot of things, how naïve and how dumb you can be sometimes." That statement was made by Brent to the Chicago Tribune in 2009 after being pulled over by Police near the University of Illinois campus and arrested for drunk driving. Brent received two years probation and was sentenced to 60 days in Champaign County jail. He was released after serving half the time. It was announced Thursday morning that Brent's blood alcohol level was tested at .18, the legal limit being .08.
How strong should the punishment for DUI be? What should the punishment be? Is there any way to prevent people from getting behind the wheel drunk or is this a fact of life that everyone needs to watch out for?
Author's Answer: There comes a point when something can just not be accepted any longer. Is it fun to wait for a ride home? No. Is it fun to pay for a cab? Of course not. Is it fun to wake up in the morning and live another day? Yes. It is common sense for the vast majority of people to not drive if they were to become intoxicated. However, common sense is out the window when someone is intoxicated. Do I want to blow into a tube for my car to start? No, but something needs to be done. It shouldn't be left up to the person who has had a few drinks, their decision making ability, just like their driving ability, is impaired.
Team by Team
New York Giants (8-5)
Last Result:
Win 52-27 vs. New Orleans Saints
Next 3 Games:
- Sunday, Dec. 16 at 1:00 PM at Atlanta Falcons (11-2)
- Sunday, Dec. 23 at 4:25 PM at Baltimore Ravens (9-4)
- Sunday, Dec. 30 at 1:00 PM vs. Philadelphia Eagles (4-9)
- David Wilson has gained 211 yards on his 31 carries this season, an average of 5.1 yards per carry. Ahmad Bradshaw is averaging 4.4 yards per carry.
- The Giants travel to Atlanta and Baltimore over the next two weekends. Baltimore is 5-1 at home and Atlanta is 6-0 at home this season. The Redskins travel to Cleveland, 4-3 at home, and Philadelphia, 2-4 at home. The Cowboys are home to Pittsburg, 3-4 on the road, and New Orleans, 2-4 on the road.
- The Cowboys and Redskins are only one game behind the Giants in the NFC East. The Giants could easily be in third place two weeks from Sunday.
Ahmad Bradshaw injured his knee against the Saints and was in and out of the game after the injury. Bradshaw had an MRI and underwent a number of tests on his knee Monday. No major injury has been reported but Tom Coughlin said Bradshaw's status moving for this week will be determined by medical staff. If it were up to Bradshaw, he would play.
David Wilson would love to get out there against the Atlanta Falcons. Atlanta is allowing 4.9 yards per carry against them. Only one team in the NFL is worse than the Falcons in that area, the New Orleans Saints at 5.1 yards per carry.
The Giants need to win two out of their next three to lock up a playoff spot and that won't be easy with two tough road matchups in a row over the next two weeks. Atlanta is a great passing team and the Giants have serious issues in the defensive backfield. Kenny Phillips and Prince Amukamara are not practicing as of mid-week.
Prediction: Loss 34-23 at Atlanta
New York Jets (6-7)
Last Result:
Win 17-10 at Jacksonville
Next 3 Games:
- Monday, Dec. 17 at 8:30 PM at Tennessee Titans (4-9)
- Sunday, Dec. 23 at 1:00 PM vs. San Diego (5-8)
- Sunday, Dec. 30 at 1:00 PM at Buffalo (5-8)
- The Jets can win out and get to a 9-7 record before the season is over. The Bengals and Steelers are both one game head of the Jets. It looks like only one of those three teams will be in the post season.
- Shonn Greene has run for at least 70 yards in three straight games but has only one touchdown since week eight.
- Bilal Powell has only run for over 70 yards once all season but has four touchdowns in the last four games.
- The Jets travel to Tennessee this week where the Titans are allowing over 127 rushing yards per game and have allowed 12 rushing touchdowns on the year.
- The Jets suffered the subtle humiliation of having their Sunday night game against the Chargers downgraded to a 1 p.m. kickoff.
The Jets need to win out if they are going to have any hope of making the playoffs. Andrew Luck and the Colts are very close to securing a wild-card slot. The Jets have one of the easiest schedules in the league over the last three weeks of the season. Even if the Jets win out they could still fall short of making the playoffs depending on what the Bengals and Steelers do. Their schedules are much more formidable.
Mark Sanchez is playing for his career as a starter in the NFL. Rex has been ignorantly loyal to Sanchez over this season. Sanchez has been the worst starting quarterback in the league. Sure John Skelton and Ryan Lindley have been worse in Arizona but keep in mind that Sanchez got pulled against the Cardinals and his backup came in and saved the Jets' season. Rex has said for years that Sanchez is his guy. Most coaches will make the tough decision to make a change if 'their guy' is dragging the team down. Rex has decided to go down with the ship. He will not bench Sanchez until this season is completely lost and when that happens, it could cost both of them their jobs.
Prediction: Win 23-17 at Tennessee
New York Knicks (16-5)
Last Result:
Win 100-97 at Brooklyn Nets
Next 3 Games:
- Thursday, Dec. 13 vs. Los Angeles Lakers
- Saturday, Dec. 15 vs. Cleveland Cavilers
- Monday, Dec. 17 vs. Houston Rockets
- The Kicks are first in the Eastern Conference at 16-5 just ahead of the Miami Heat (14-5). The Knicks are 2-0 against the Heat this year winning each game by exactly 20 points.
- Carmello Anthony is one of two players in the Eastern Conference averaging over 20 points a game.
- LeBron James is second in the east averaging 25.2.
- Anthony leads the east averaging 27.7.
- Anthony received resounding cheers for MVP at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Tuesday night.
Tuesday night was the second great game we have seen in our battle of the boroughs that began this year when the Nets moved to Brooklyn. The first game between the Knicks and Nets Nov. 26 went to overtime and the Knicks fell 86-89. Jason Kidd hit a 3-pointer with just a few seconds left to beat the Nets 100-97 on Tuesday.
The Knicks kick off a 6-game home stand against the Lakers Thursday evening. four of those six games are against teams with losing records. It is important for them to handle their business at home and not let any winnable games slip away. The Knicks are capable of winning all six of these games and it would definitely be a disappointment if they win less than four of them.
Amar'e Stoudemire worked out for 90 minutes on Monday and didn't suffer any setbacks which is great news for Knicks fans. Although Stoudemire won't commit to the speculated return on Christmas Day against the Lakers, this is clearly a positive step toward his return.
Win 92-84 vs. Lakers, Loss 102-94 vs. Cavilers, Win 104-90 vs. Rockets, Win 96-92 vs. Nets
Brooklyn Nets (12-9)
Last Result:
Win 94-88 at Toronto
Next 3 Games:
- Friday, Dec. 14 at 7:30 PM vs. Detroit Pistons
- Saturday, Dec. 15 at 8:00 PM at Chicago Bulls
- Tuesday, Dec. 18 at 7:30 PM vs. Utah Jazz
- The Nets just lost five games in a row. The last four of those games came at home.
- Brooke Lopez has missed the last 6 games. The Nets were 10-4 with Lopez and 1-5 without him.
- The Nets travel to Madison Square Garden to take on the Knicks for the first time as the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday Night.
Right now the most important thing for the Nets is to play well against the Pistons on Friday night. Detroit is 10 games under .500 and the Nets have been in a bit of a free-fall. The Nets and Knicks were tied for second about two weeks ago and the Nets fell four games behind their intra-city rivals in that span.
So often in the NBA the difference between playoff success comes down to winning games you should win, especially at home, during the regular season. The Nets just lost four in a row at home and they need to get back on track unless they want to get stuck playing a team like the Heat in the first round of the playoffs. Ask the Knicks how well that worked out for them last year.
Win 110-96 vs. Detroit, Loss 88-82 at Chicago, Win 96-90 vs. Utah, Loss 103-91 at Knicks
MLB Offseason Reports
New York Yankees
- Mariano Rivera signed a 1-year $10 million dollar deal with the Yankees for the 2013 season. The all-time leading closer with 608 regular season and 42 playoff saves is still not at 100 percent after tearing his ACL early last May. Rivera has been rehabbing for months and is confident that he will be ready to go by Opening Day when the Yanks host the Red Sox on April 1.
- The Yankees Signed Kevin Youkilis to a 1-year $12 million deal. Youk has been very good against the Yankees throughout his career but had a really rough season last year batting only .235 in 122 games. Youkilis will do a decent job in the field until Alex Rodriguez returns.
- Rodriguez is expected to have hip surgery in January. They found the problem with Rodriguez's hip in late November and many are wondering why a man who makes over $25 million a year can put off his surgery for over a month. Well, in this case Rodriguez doesn't have much choice. Doctors have asked Rodriguez to "strengthen" the area before he goes under the knife.
New York Mets
- This offseason there were three pitchers on the market who could eventually be the ace of a staff. Zack Grenkie, James Shield and NL Cy Young winner RA Dickey. During the Winter Meetings in early December the Mets reportedly listed to offers from over half a dozen teams that were interested in Dickey's services. Sandy Alderson and the Mets were not willing to part with Dickey for any of the offers presented.
- Understandably, Dickey means a lot to the Mets after winning the Cy Young and being the only real bright spot in an otherwise dark and dreary season. But the time to deal Dickey could be approaching. With Grenkie and Shields both off the market, Dickey remains the best arm available and it's not close. As the last available chip, the offers for Dickey will likely go up as teams get desperate. Alderson had better be listening. Dickey is 38. Get what you can and be thankful you got that.

O.J. Simpson in court Monday to seek a new trial in his conviction for armed robbery and kidnapping. O.J. Simpson has served four years of a 33-year sentence. The latest court case is seen as a legal 'Hail Mary.'
O.J. Simpson will remain in jail after the Nevada Supreme Court denied an appeal Friday of his armed robbery and kidnapping convictions. However, O.J. Simpson's co-defendant will receive a new trial after his conviction was reversed.
O.J. Simpson lawyer: "Mr. Simpson really believed he was recovering his own property."
OJ Simpson's lawyer told a three-justice panel that O.J. Simpson's conviction was "payback" for the 1994 double-murder acquital.

Used car advice: Buying from a private seller
Dealer insider shares tips
Buying a used car from a private party can score you a deal, just make sure it isn't too good to be true.
Buying a used car from a private party can score you a deal--often discounts of 15-20 percent when buying from a private seller over a dealership. However, how do you make sure the deal isn't too good to be true?
Dealer insider Ed Armbruster gives his advice on buying a used car from a private seller.
Q. What should you ask the buyer before purchasing?
A. This depends on the age/mileage of the car. If the car is relatively new, with low mileage, you want to know if it has been in an accident, if there are any issues at all with the car, and you want to see any and all oil-change receipts. If the car is a few years old or more, you would want to know if the owner who is offering it is the original owner, and if not, what they know about the original owner. At any point, documentation helps paint a picture of how the car was cared for. Someone who collects paperwork meticulously may very well maintain their car the same way. Finally, ask why they're selling the car: If they stumble around or give you a screwy answer, look closely before buying!
Q. What are some things to look for when seeing the car for the first time?
A. I try to look for evidence of repairs, lack of maintenance, and needed repairs. Mechanically, I look for worn tires, bent wheels, dirty fluids, oil leaks. (Is the car parked on the lawn? If so, why? Is it so that I can't see the oil spot?) In the body and paint area, I look for dull paint, swirl marks, uneven body gaps and missing clips on the fascias and in the wheel wells. I get into detail on some of this stuff in my shopautoweek.com articles on used-car inspection. The same things apply to buying from a private party.
Q. Do you recommend bringing your own inspector?
A. Yes! Or ask the seller if you can take the vehicle to a dealer or someone you trust for a complete vehicle inspection. If the seller is indignant, there may be a reason. The more eyes on a car, the better chance to spot a problem.
Q. What can you inspect yourself?
A. Mechanical noises, pulling in the steering, body gaps, paint condition, etc.
Q. What kind of documentation is necessary? Do you recommend completing a bill of sale?
A. I try to always produce a bill of sale that states the vehicle identification number, make, model, mileage, selling price and any agreements that have been discussed between the buyer and myself. I have bought many cars without the bill of sale though. Overall, I would recommend a purchase agreement, typed and to the point, signed by both parties, with a copy to each person.
Q. Can you share any negotiating tips?
A. I always bring the total amount that I am willing to pay for the car. In one pocket I keep my first offer in cash. In other words, if the seller is asking $7,000, I bring $5,800 in my left pocket, and maybe another $500 in the other pocket. Flashing cash while making an offer can help immensely! Whenever making a large cash transaction, I always bring at least one other person with me (preferably someone big). Also, always be prepared to walk away. Then, call back the next day, and the next day. You never know when you'll catch someone in a desperate state of mind. Remember that there are other cars out there, even though this one sounds perfect.
Q. How can you be protected from scams?
A. Well, there are a few different scams that I know of. Cars that have been previously damaged being sold as good cars, cars that have had the miles turned back, cars that are stolen and retagged with different VINs and online sellers that ask for a deposit before you see the car. All of these are avoidable with proper inspections and common sense. Common sense should tell you don't pay someone for a car you haven't seen! (I've seen it happen.) Rule of thumb: If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Q. How do you know the car's value? Do you recommend using a service like Kelley Blue Book when buying a used car from a private party?
A. In my experience, online price guides aren't really that accurate. Personally, I look through Craigslist.org and the local paper to see what the car that I am looking at is generally selling for in my area. I always take about 20 percent off of the asking price to project a true selling price.
One final tip: Call a random car dealer, for instance your local Chevy dealer. Give them a description of the car you are looking to purchase, and ask for a trade-in value on that car. Whatever the number, remember, that is what your potential seller could get for the car by trading it in. This number is usually really low, but people get lazy and trade cars in all the time. Work up from there to formulate your first bid.

jlbrown08 said 214 weeks agoBeing a big Muppets (especially Kermie!) fan, I am incredibly tempted. Gonna have to sleep on this one...

BRASELTON - The Appalachian Regional Commission approved Thursday a $300,000 grant to the town of Braselton to upgrade an industrial park's wastewater system.Coupled with $390,000 provided by the town, the $690,000 project will support the creation of 230 new jobs while leveraging $25 million in private investment, said U.S. Congressman Dr. Paul Broun, who represents Georgia's 10th district. "The city of Braselton has proven to be a business-friendly community," Broun said. "Now Braselton will be able to attract even more industry with this ARC grant and the expansion of its sewer infrastructure." The wastewater system that will receive the facelift serves the 275-acre Braselton Business Park, located a quarter-mile from Interstate 85 on Ga. Highway 124. With the Country Inn & Suites Hotel and Conference Center coming soon and a 450,000 square foot distribution center set to be available as well, the wastewater system upgrade was necessary, Broun said. "The equipment (existing) has limited capacity and cannot accommodate any significant flow increases that would be generated by new development projects," he said, The $300,000 will be used to construct a lift station and to also install 100 linear feet of sewer line. These improvements should increase the station's pumping capacity from 100 gallons per minute to 300, thus providing a permanent solution by adding capacity to the wastewater system. "The Appalachian Regional Commission has long partnered with the town of Braselton for infrastructure improvements for our citizens," Mayor Pat Graham said. "We appreciate the partnership and the federal investment which will create new jobs and business opportunities here." Braselton is home to local divisions of Mayfield Dairy, Panoz Auto Development Company, Sears Logistics, Tractor Supply and Haverty Furniture's Southeast Distribution Center.

A widely used class of antipsychotic drugs that includes bestsellers Zyprexa, Risperdal and Seroquel is just as likely -- perhaps even more likely -- to cause a fatal heart attack as older antipsychotic drugs like haloperidol, researchers reported today.
The findings, which run contrary to a long-standing belief, add to a growing drumbeat of criticism about this class of drugs, known as atypical antipsychotics. Zyprexa, Risperdal and Seroquel are among the 10 most commonly prescribed medications in the world, with annual sales estimated at $14.5 billion.

Fan Fare
Entertainment behind the scenes
"Funny People" finds darkness, "G-Force" light at box offices
"Funny People," the new Judd Apatow ("Knocked Up", "The 40-Year-Old Virgin") starring Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen, failed to perform as strongly at U.S. box offices this past weekend as Apatow's and Sandler's most recent movies.
In the Monday morning analysis that always follows weekend box office watching, it would seem that the message about the dark nature of "Funny People" got out — it tells of a standup comedian who learns he is terminally ill – and as audiences have repeatedly shown this past year during the recession, they decided they wanted lighter fare – real laughs, not those that come mixed with tears. "Funny People" took in just $22.7 million, according to final data issued Monday, compared to pre-weekend forecasts that ranged from the low $20 millions to $30 million. You can read our box office story here.
Along that thinking, escapist fantasy "Harry Potter" landed No. 2 with $17.7 million in its third weekend and animated comedy "G-Force," was close behind at $17.1 million. In only 10 days, "G-Force" has grossed $66.5 million — a nice sum for a movie about a squad of guinea pigs looking to stop an evil billionaire planning world domination. Now that's funny.
We were out on Hollywood Boulevard again this past weekend to ask people what they thought of the weekend's new movies. Below is the video in which one fan gives a nod to one of this summer's indie breakouts, "The Hurt Locker" which is set in Iraq, and that just shows there is an audience for adult-oriented movies with dark themes — just not a mass movie megaplex market.
Heigl vs. Apatow at box offices, amid snipes
If their comments on Thursday to radio host Howard Stern are any indication, it looks like writer/director/producer Judd Apatow and his protege Seth Rogen are still sore over a comment Katherine Heigl made about their 2007 movie "Knocked Up ." Heigl has said the movie, which she starred-in opposite Rogen, was a "little sexist" because it made women look like "shrews" and men seem "lovable."
The comment has generated controversy ever since she made it in 2007, with some praising Heigl for taking a feminist stand, and others accusing her of being ungrateful.
Oops! Studio publishes filmmaker Judd Apatow's home address
Psst! Want to know where Judd Apatow hangs his hat when he's not on the lot churning out pictures like "The 40-Year-Old Virgin" and "Knocked Up"? Universal Pictures accidentally included his home address in widely distributed press materials produced for his latest movie, "Funny People," which opens on July 31.
His wife, "Funny People" co-star Leslie Mann, was outraged when told of the snafu at a press gathering for the film on Sunday, saying: "That's really not cool at all." Apatow started to answer a reporter's question on the subject, but was interrupted by a studio publicist.

News Article
In today's chapter of our ongoing tribute to horror's early days, we take a look at an epic dark fantasy from director F.W. Murnau, whom you may remember as the director of the 1922 film Nosferatu, the first – though unofficial – cinematic adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula. (For a really cool fictionalized take on the making of that film, check out E. Elias Merhige's Shadow of the Vampire.) When Murnau returned to horror four years later, he did so in a major way, with the most elaborate and expensive German film production to date; Fritz Lang's monumental Metropolis would edge it out of the top spot the following year.
The story of Faust is universally known, but got a big boost from an adaptation by renowned German writer Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, which was published in the early 1800s. The legend itself involves a master alchemist (Gösta Ekman) who makes a series of bargains with the demon Mephisto (Emil Jannings, in a career-making performance) to save his town from a deadly plague. The first bargain succeeds, but makes him an outcast; his second deal grants him youth and wealth (in exchange for his soul, of course), and the affections of a beautiful duchess (Hanna Ralpha). But that deal goes south, and Faust returns home, still young and handsome, where he falls in love with an innocent young woman (Camilla Horn). It's at this point when things go very, very badly for the star-crossed lovers.
While Faust initially failed at the box office, it has since been celebrated by filmmakers and fans worldwide for its pioneering achievements in special effects, including multiple exposure techniques and elaborate miniatures (the image of Satan casting his wings of doom over the town is still terrifying today), and it has inspired everything from Disney's Fantasia (the "Night on Bald Mountain" sequence, with its hordes of flying demons) to Hellraiser – that film's "Lament Configuration" bears a strong resemblance to the box clutched by Mephisto here:
Faust would be Murnau's last German production; he moved to the US the following year and kicked off the Hollywood phase of his career. Although he never returned to the horror genre, his two genre masterpieces (and arguably the best films of his career) live on as landmarks of surreal, stylish and expressionistic art that helped change the face of horror for all time.
The best DVD version of Faust comes from Kino Video, using a composite cut assembled from all the best available prints, with a newly-recorded score and a making-of documentary. (It's currently available at Amazon.) A must-see for fans of gothic imagery and a master class for any aspiring horror filmmaker.

From staff reports
Traverse City Record-Eagle
---- — TRAVERSE CITY — A backpack with assorted knives, ammunition and a mess kit found on the side of an access drive to Traverse City West Senior High School led to a school lockdown for about 20 minutes.
A school maintenance worker cutting the grass came upon the bag Thursday at about 3:20 p.m. near Gallagher Road on a curve by the baseball fields. School officials alerted the Grand Traverse County Sheriff's Department. Deputies took about 20 minutes to search the grounds and determined there was no imminent threat to student safety, said Christine Guitar, spokeswoman for Traverse City Area Public Schools. As many as 150 students were on the grounds for sports and band practices.
Guitar said it appeared the pack may have been thrown or fallen from a car as opposed to someone sitting out on the grounds with it.
"Of course every incident is serious and taken seriously, but we are not concerned at this point and will leave it up to authorities to complete their investigation," Guitar said.
Sheriff's department officials said the investigation will remain open while they attempt to identify who owns the bag.

Bluefield Daily Telegraph
— —
The idea of unknown animals and the folklore behind them have always interested me. When I was a boy and crazy for dinosaurs, I was always fascinated by the Loch Ness Monster; it kept my hopes of living dinosaurs alive.
When I got older, I watched shows like "In Search Of" and learned about Bigfoot and the Abominable Snowman. Mom and Dad took my sister, Karen, and I to a Bigfoot movie. It was fun, but the doubts started creeping into my mind. This explorer could take crystal clear films of deer and flying geese, but he couldn't get one Bigfoot shot that was in focus? Either he had very bad luck or something wasn't right.
I always thought it was strange how Bigfoot was such a bad photo subject. I remember the first time I saw the famous "Patterson Film" of a Bigfoot walking away from the viewer. The beast looks over the shoulder as it walks into the forest. I've seen multiple documentaries about that film and nobody can say for sure whether it's a Bigfoot. Some scientists say it moves in a way humans can mimic, others swear it's a man in a suit — one fellow has come forward to say he was the guy in the hairy outfit. Other researchers say the film is so bad, it's impossible to know one way or the other.
It seems like just about every photograph and video of a mystery creature is out of focus and open to debate, but that doesn't stop the interest. I've always wanted to do a story about a mystery beast, and my chance came last week when a Bramwell family spotted something unusual on their home surveillance system.
Shot in the early morning hours before sun up, it shows a feline-shaped form stalking along an earthen bank. The homeowners believe it was a mountain lion, and even said they have heard the big cat screaming in the woods. A couple of small deer carcasses that seem to be the work of predators have been found, too.
A wildlife manager with the state Department of Natural Resources viewed the video and said the animal, weighing perhaps 50 pounds or so, could have been a large bobcat or a gray fox. A leg sticking out could have given the illusion of a tail.
A few days after the story ran, I received an email from a former Bramwell resident who said he saw a mountain lion years ago. Other readers posted their own memories of sightings on our Facebook page.
Officially, there are no mountain lions in West Virginia and most of the eastern states, but a mountain lion has one big advantage over an 8-foot-tall humanoid ape creature dubbed Bigfoot: Mountain lions are real. They exist in other parts of the country, and we know due to thousands of sightings, skeletons, skins, and specimens in zoos that mountain lions truly exist.
I have to ask myself what would keep mountain lions from roaming the mountains of southern West Virginia and Southwest Virginia. There seems to be plenty of prey animals. Any hunter could tell you about the thousands of deer living in the forest. Wild turkeys, squirrels, raccoons and other animals fit for a mountain lion's dinner are also present.
When you drive along the highway, you will see thousands of wooded acres humans rarely visit due to their inaccessibility. One hunter I spoke to a few months ago told me that most hunters go only a couple hundred yards or so from established trails, leaving thousands of acres bare of human visitation.
I'm not ready to say Bigfoot doesn't exist. The odds seem to be against the idea, but it seems like every time somebody declares something is impossible, they're proven to be wrong. Mountains lions roaming in areas where they have been declared extinct seems to be an even greater possibility. Coyotes have immigrated into the region and thrived, so why not a few mountain lions colonizing old territory?
After hearing about Bigfoot and mountain lions in West Virginia, I have admit that I wonder what would happen if I one day saw the inexplicable dash across the highway? Rounding a curve and suddenly seeing a huge hairy creature for just a split second would be a wonder. I just wonder if I would tell anybody. Most likely I would tell a few friends.
If that magical moment ever arrives, I hope I have a camera ready and a subject that's willing to pause for just a second. One good, crisp, unmistakable shot of a mountain lion could end the controversy. I'm more likely to talk about a mountain lion, too, because I'm more likely to be sure about what I saw. If I saw a Bigfoot, I'd wonder if I was only seeing what I hoped to see.
If I see a dinosaur, I'll know I saw what I was hoping to see.

If your children are part of the Warren County Public School System, the way they get to school may soon be changing.
Ahead of the 2009-2010 school year, the school board has approved a redistricting plan.
The goal aims to provide more children transportation to and from school while using less buses.
The school system hopes to have the final plans posted on its website by the 1st of July.
For now, the biggest goal is informing parents.

A search committee was appointed on June 3, 2013 to recruit a new provost for the university. The committee is chaired by Dr. John Su, professor of English and director of the University Core of Common Studies. Su is also a member of the University Academic Senate. An expert in postcolonial literature, Su has written two single-authored books, more than two dozen articles and reviews, and serves on the editorial advisory board of Modern Fiction Studies.
The university has retained the search firm Isaacson, Miller, which conducted the search for the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. The new provost is expected to start in time for the 2015-16 academic year.
The search committee and Isaacson, Miller hosted a series of listening sessions on June 24 and 25 to receive input for creating the Opportunity and Challenge Profile and position description. The committee shared a draft of the Opportunity and Challenge Profile with the campus community for review and comment. Feedback from the university community was used to create the final version of the document.
The Opportunity and Challenge Profile wil be used to identify and recruit candidates for the position. Members of the Marquette community are encouraged to nominate candidates by emailing email@example.com. The search for Marquette's next permanent provost will be helped greatly if you submit nominations of candidates that the committee should consider. The committee is inclusive, and we welcome and appreciate feedback from the Marquette community.

No deal in place for Higuain by AH
Gonzalo Higuain seems to be one of the biggest Arsenal transfer sagas of the summer alongside Stevan Jovetic. Higuain has had a busy summer already if you are to believe everything you read because it's understood from the media that Real Madrid firstly agreed to sell him but nothing under £25 million. Juventus then reportedly came in and struck a deal with the player only to disagree on the fee, and Madrid dropped their asking price to around £20m; however Juve still refused to pay, so the rumoured deal with them now seems to be off.
