The Sacred Departed: Halloween at Woodlawn CemeteryWoodlawn Cemetery (Webster Ave, Bronx, NY) Map it $20
Some folks may hit up a haunted house, others may watch a scary movie, but for us, the ultimate Halloween pre-game is a tour through a cemetery. For this informative walk, presented by the Municipal Art Society of New York, guests are guided through Woodlawn Cemetery at twilight. The Director of Historical Services for Woodlawn, Susan Olsen, spends the session exploring multiple perspectives of the Halloween season while visiting cemetery landmarks including the Belmont mausoleum, the Woolworth family mausoleum, the mausoleum of Olive Thomas Pickford, and the memorial to Ruth Snyder, the first woman to meet her end in the electric chair.

It's the Intro of Good Apollo part 1 EDIT: This melody appears on previous albums of Co&ca. http://www.youtube.com/user/squibo65 : The melody of keeping the blade is on the other albums because it represents a passing of time. Its on the first album because thats not the first part of the story. they are coming out with the prequel to that album next. its on in keeping secrets because its some time after Claudio (the character) awakens after finding out his family is either dead or missing. you notice that since GA1 and GA2 are connected meaning there is no passing of time because it happens right after the other This is the Original Song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxuh5vez0eY

Mayor Mike Bell says racial profiling still occurs in Toledo on some level, but his
opponent in the upcoming mayoral election, Michael Collins, says that's absurd.
profiling was a topic at Monday night's Architect's Dinner, where both
candidates answered questions from those in attendance.
says even though he knows Toledo Police are under a lot of pressure every day,
and they must make quick decisions for the best interest of the community, he
says sometimes slip-ups do happen.
and the president of the Toledo Police Patrolman's Association, Daniel Wagner,
disagreed with the mayor.
summary statement at the end was that racial profiling does not exist in the
City of Toledo," Collins said. "It further goes on to say that there was no
citizen complaint alleging racial profiling in the entire county or year of
says he's even been racially profiled in his lifetime.
it was pretty obvious I hadn't done anything," he said. "There were two cars in
front of me, and two cars behind me, and we were moving at about 20-something
miles an hour. I was in a certain area of the city. I turned off to be able to
park my vehicle, and all of a sudden, I had an officer behind me, and I'm like,
'Well, what did I do that the other five vehicles didn't do?'"
says Toledo Police use a program that keeps track of who is pulled over to
monitor if race is ever a basis for a traffic stop, and findings of that
program show that an officer has never been accused of racial profiling.

Twitter Takes a Dive After Earnings Beat But User Growth Lags
Only a company with a hype-based valuation like Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) could report earnings that beat Wall Street estimates and still see its stock price tank. Reporting earnings for the first time as a public company, Twitter posted fourth-quarter revenue of $243 million, up 116 percent on the year and above the mean analyst estimate of $217.8 million. Adjusted earnings per share came in at 2 cents, above the mean estimate of a loss of 2 cents.
Full-year revenue of $665 million, up 110 percent on the year, beat the mean analyst estimate of $639.4 million. Full-year adjusted earnings per share of came in at a loss of 18 cents, still beating the mean analyst estimate of a loss of 19 cents.
"Twitter finished a great year with our strongest financial quarter to date," commented Twitter CEO Dick Costolo, but investors and traders still had complaints. Shares fell as much as 12 percent in post-market trading as the curtain was peeled back and the guts of the report examined. Monthly active users (or, MAUs) grew just 3.8 percent sequentially to 241 million, the slowest growth rate in a year (Twitter averaged 7.7 percent sequential MAU growth in the preceding three quarters). Analysts were looking for closer to 250 million MAUs. Timeline views, a measure of engagement, also fell short of expectation, up 26 percent on the year but down 6.8 percent sequentially at 148 billion. Analysts were hoping for closer to 174 billion.

J.K.Rowling Donates Signed "Deathly Hallows" Book for Charity RaffleJ.K. Rowling
November 29, 2007, 12:47 PM
Author J.K. Rowling has donated an autographed copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows for a charity raffle. The Scotsman reports that Jo donated this book to Trefoil House, an organization in Edinburgh, Scotland to help "much-needed funds for its work with children who have special needs or disabilities." The raffle is due to be held as part of their 2007 Christmas Bonanza December 4 and 5 at the Edinburgh Corn Exchange, New Market Road, with organizers of the event noting:
"We are absolutely delighted by this generous gift. This is a chance for someone to win it without having to pay lots of money as it's not an auction and as it's only taking place over two days the odds are good."

Joplin — To those Republican presidential candidates who declined the invitation to participate in Donald Trump's debate: You made the right move.
Apparently under the impression that there haven't been enough Republican presidential debates, the reality TV star, real estate mogul and former presidential candidate has announced that he'll moderate a debate on Dec. 27.
The prize for "winning" this debate is a potential endorsement from the Donald.
So far, only two of the candidates have accepted the invitation: Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum. Rick Perry, Mitt Romney, Jon Huntsman, Ron Paul and Michele Bachmann have all declined.
Even if we take Trump at his word and assume that this debate is really for the purpose of helping Republicans choose a candidate, we believe Trump will use the debate to further his own agenda as well as the ratings of his reality show.
Trump has stated that he still might run as an independent. That means questions could be framed from the bias of an upcoming campaign. Debates are supposed to be fair, right?
The debate is being labeled as an ego trip by former Bush adviser Karl Rove, and Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Preibus advised against candidates participating in the debate.
Those who have declined have gotten a tongue-lashing from the Donald. Especially Bachmann, who, according to Trump, had visited him four times asking for support and even considered him as a running mate for vice president if she won the nomination. Apparently he was counting on her participation.
We're reminded of an old-fashioned, common-sense saying: Never wrestle with a pig because you both get dirty, but the pig likes it. Trump smells in this case of unprofessionalism and sensationalism — values that should not be attached to the Republican candidate.
Let Trump call you losers. The only way to win that debate is to not participate.

Have you ever read the Oprah Magazine? I subscribed a few months ago, mostly because it was $5 a year from Amazon. When I finally got around to reading the May issue, I was struck by the number of columns that dealt with spirituality, and self improvement. It made me wonder why women seem to need to improve their inner beings every 5 minutes or every other page. The other thing I started to think about was where men go to get in touch with their inner selves. You sure wouldn't find an issue of Sports Illustrated giving tips on improving anything but your luck in the fantasy leagues. Maybe Men's Health, (no, that's all about performance)?
- So do men get in touch with their inner beings?
- Where do they go for inspiration?
- Do you think they get it from watching their favorite team get trounced by their rivals?
- Do women give it to them by osmosis?
- What if they're on their own?
- Why do women seem to need it so much more then men?
I posed the question to a few people, some men, some women. The most serene person I know reminded me that most of the top spiritual books are written by men (my theory: they know where the money is and that most self-help book are bought by women). She thinks that men read more of this than you might think, and most of the classes she's been to have had just as many guys as women. Someone else told me that a lot of men aren't spiritual until they go through a 12 step program. When I threw it up to my husband, he said that he always finds truth in music, and that he became self aware through therapy.
- But how much self awareness is enough and when is it too much?
- If you shirk from it does that make you less of a person?
- What does it mean if you find it in every other page of a magazine?
- If it's so easy to put your life on the right track, why don't we?
Just this week, through books and magazines, I've been invited to "wake up to reality" by asking four questions, to make my life a success by following The Success Principals, to reject self-loathing and treat myself with the "kindness and respect you would show your best friend", to make the right thing the easy thing to do, etc. etc, and it's only Monday! What do you think?
Don't forget this week Blogging Boomers Carnival. There are some great posts, including donating your body to science.

In 1783, the United States of America won its freedom as a nation from Great Britain after a protracted military battle, putting King George III in his place.
In 2014, it's time to teach his kin the same lesson.
The United States faces Great Britain in men's curling at 5 a.m. Thursday in round robin action. The Americans are 1-2 and coming off a stirring 9-5 victory over Denmark, while Britain is 3-1 in play thus far, having dispatched Russia, Germany and Switzerland already.
That would make America a bit of an underdog. Just like 1776.
There's also a measure of revenge involved, and not just for battles that were waged more than 200 years ago. On Tuesday, the British thumped the USA in women's curling to the tune of 12-3, the largest margin of defeat in Olympic curling this year. We cannot let that insult stand.
If ever there were a day to wear red, white and blue Zubaz, grill hamburgers in darkness and snow, crank up the Kid Rock and sneer at people with cars from Europe, it is Thursday morning. Go USA awesome.
Oh, also, there's women's curling against Japan at 10 a.m. (ET) but it's probably too soon to go jingoistic on that one, right? Yeah. We're just going to leave that one be for another century or two.
Full curling schedule is below.

Mike Krzyzewski — Recently appointed United States
National Basketball Head Coach for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, he is a Hall of
Famer who is known by fans worldwide as "Coach K" of the three-time National
Champion Duke University Blue Devils. The winningest coach in NCAA Tournament
history, Coach K is a man who sets the bar high as a humanitarian of sport and
an ambassador of education. His players regard him as a father figure, and his
coaching staff and close friends consider him the ideal mentor. Coach K's
Polish grandfather arrived in America by way of Ellis Island in 1906.
John J. Mack — Mr. Mack was elected Chairman of the Board
and Chief Executive Officer of Morgan Stanley in June 2005, having spent nearly
30 years at the firm in various positions. Previously, he served as Chairman of
Pequot Capital Management, Co-Chief Executive Officer of Credit Suisse Group
and Chief Executive Officer of Credit Suisse First Boston. He is a graduate of
Duke University, where he is a member of the Board of Trustees. Mr. Mack is
Chairman of the Board of Trustees of New York-Presbyterian Hospital (The
University Hospital of Columbia and Cornell), and serves as a Trustee of the
Doris Duke Charitable Foundation. His Lebanese father and grandfather both

arrived at another time and/or through another port of entry. The 2007 award
honors Josie Natori — Born in the Philippines, Josie Natori left
Manila in 1964 to study economics at Manhattanville College. After graduating,
she rose rapidly to become the first female vice president of investment
banking at Merrill Lynch. But in 1976, Natori left banking and entered the

Natori Company. She sits on many corporate and non-profit boards and devotes
significant amounts of time to charitable efforts on behalf of women and
fashion both in the U.S. and in the Philippines.

ATLANTA (AP) - Madison Bumgarner allowed two hits in seven innings and combined with Sandy Rosario for a three-hit shutout in the San Francisco Giants' 6-0 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Friday night.
Bumgarner (6-4) was dominant in earning his second straight win. The left-hander did not allow a baserunner for 4 2-3 innings before losing his bid for a perfect game in the fifth and shot at a no-hitter in the sixth.
Bumgarner matched his season high with 10 strikeouts while one walk.
Atlanta's Kris Medlen (3-7) lasted six innings and gave up four runs on nine hits, including a homer by Gregor Blanco to lead off the game. The Giants had five doubles off Medlen.
Buster Posey had three doubles. Blanco had two hits, including a run-scoring single in the second.

Scientists agree that breastfeeding is best for infants. Breastmilk is considered so important and nutritious, that hospitals now offer lactation consultants on site to birthing mothers to offer advice and support to moms.
Although infant formula makers work hard to make their product as nutritious as possible, how can powdered formula beat Mother Nature? (Spoiler alert: it can't.)
"While the food aspects of milk to some extent are replicated in formula, the immuno factors and medicine of milk are not and the hormonal signals are not," says evolutionary biologist Katie Hinde at Harvard University. In fact, a new study revealed another startling difference between formula and breastmilk. Researchers have discovered that the bodies of nursing mothers automatically adjust their milk content depending on the sex of their baby. Hinde reported, "Mothers are producing different biological recipes for sons and daughters." The biologist co-authored a study that documents "baby boys often get…

"I was jeered and spat at for defending marriage"
Recently I appeared in the audience of BBC's Question Time in my home town of Brighton after a friend asked me to take their place at short notice.
When Marilyn Barmer stood up and nervously asked whether the first gay marriages due to take place in the city in the next 24 hours were a necessary piece of legislation, the temperature in the auditorium plummeted, the warm glow of good-natured yet passionate debate replaced by a glacial hostility.
I have never before experienced such a palpable and visceral sense of contempt and dislike, despite having debated the issue a number of times inside a TV studio or on the radio with LGBT advocates.
While I've come in for a hefty amount of online abuse and insults over the years and at times been shocked by some of the sentiments expressed, I have at least been able to emotionally distance myself.
Words can have a powerful impact…

Mozilla CEO booted out for backing marriage
After only ten days in the job, Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich has been forced to step down for supporting gender integration in marriage. Eich co-founded Mozilla and invented JavaScript, the most commonly used computer programming language, but he's in the news now for defending gender diversity.
Six years ago Eich donated US$1,000 to support Proposition 8, which states, "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California." Many gay rights activists jumped to the conclusion that everyone who endorsed Prop 8, including Eich, must be anti-gay.
In a statement provided by Mozilla, Eich explained why he walked:
"I have decided to resign as CEO effective today, and leave Mozilla. Our mission is bigger than any one of us, and under the present circumstances, I cannot be an effective leader. I will be taking time before I decide what to do next."

It doesn't come much clearer than this
Here's US marriage expert Ryan T. Anderson giving one of his sparkling clear presentations on the problem with same-sex marriage. If you want to see how you can talk comfortably to your friends and family about the importance of preserving marriage, watch this video.
It's nearly an hour long by Ryan's presentation takes the first 23 minutes – and it's worth every minute of your time to listen to him.
His bio – just to refresh your memory:
Ryan Anderson is co-author, with Princeton's Robert P. George and Sherif Girgis, of the acclaimed book "What Is Marriage? Man and Woman: A Defense" (Encounter Books, December 2012). Justice Samuel Alito cited the book twice in his dissenting opinion in the Supreme Court case involving the Defense of Marriage Act.
In addition to a memorable 2013 debate about marriage on CNN's "Piers Morgan Live," Anderson has been the nation's most valuable traditional marriage advocate,…

How can you spot an anti-gay bigot?
Prominent writers recently wrestled with the following question: If a business declines to photograph a same sex wedding, does that automatically prove the owner is an "anti-gay bigot"?
Ross Douthat started the conversation with his op-ed at the New York Times which echoed the left's mantra that the debate is over and same-sex marriage will soon win. The only question remaining is, will gay rights activists honour freedom and "let the dissenters opt out," or will they be pressured and sued into celebrating same sex marriages?
At Slate, Mark Joseph Stern promptly criticized Douthat for claiming the war was already won. This is odd since this is precisely what the left's talking point has been for months: Same sex marriage is inevitable, so give up already.
Which Douthat did.
Stern also excoriated Douthat for portraying religious business owners as victims:
Douthat, like most state legislators…

What the Dalai Lama really thinks about same-sex marriage
Zac Alstin skilfully deconstructs what the world's most famous Buddhist leader thinks about sexual morality. It turns out that he is more or less on the same page as Christians with regard to homosexuality and same-sex marriage. Check out the article on MercatorNet's home page.
No white flag. Ever.
It's sad to witness columnist Ross Douthat's devolution into a cheese-eating surrender monkey. For years, his was the only voice at the New York Times to put the case, often eloquently and persuasively, against same-sex marriage. But last weekend he ran up the white flag. The battle is all but over, he lamented. In the not-too-distant future, the Supreme Court will follow the logic of recent decisions like US v. Windsor and redefine the institution of marriage to include gay and lesbian relationships. He concludes:
"We are not really having an argument about same-sex marriage anymore, and … we're not having a negotiation. Instead, all that's left is the timing of the final victory — and for the defeated to find out what settlement the victors will impose."
This bleak panorama is dangerous. If the battle is all but won by supporters of same-sex…

What the Arizona religious liberty veto means
Media distortions and "lies" clouded public understanding of an Arizona measure that would have clarified religious liberty protections for business owners, not allowed them to discriminate rampantly against gays and lesbians, The Heritage Foundation's Ryan T. Anderson told The Foundry in an interview yesterday.
"For about two weeks you got a nonstop barrage of lies in the media," Anderson said in the interview with The Foundry's Genevieve Wood, two days after Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer vetoed the state legislature's short amendment to Arizona's 15-year-old religious liberty law.

I am more than my desire
I am a woman who desires men, but I don't define myself that way. Who I am depends equally as much on the parents who raised me, the town where I grew up, and the schools I attended. I am an introverted and somewhat socially awkward intellectual, who likes Renaissance music, science fiction, and macaroni and cheese. I am all of these things and I like all of these things completely apart from my heterosexuality.
I could identify myself as a Virginian born-and-bred or a New York transplant, as a blogger or a lawyer or a stay-at-home mom, but these categories don't constrain or pigeon-hole me. I was born with the last name Smith and at marriage changed my name to Santos, but changing my name did not change my ethnicity or my identity. On a deeper level, I am a former WASP turned Catholic convert,…

What would Lincoln say about same-sex marriage?
Check out Robert Reilly's incisive analysis on MercatorNet's home page of a Virginia judge's ruling that a ban on same-sex marriage violates the state constitution. Here are the opening paragraphs:
Denial of reality on the marriage issue is becoming almost impermeable. Self-reinforcing decisions from one federal court to another are weaving together a skein of an alternate reality in which we will all soon be required to participate.
It just hit Virginia, where I reside. On February 13, US District Judge Arenda L. Wright Allen chose to disenfranchise the citizens of the Commonwealth by voiding that part of our constitution and those laws that define marriage as between one man and one woman as unconstitutional.

Thread: Mike Tice
Mike Tice
Hey guys, I'm sure you dont get too many Jets fans here. The news in NY is that Tice is a leading candidate for the Jets job (possibly bringing back Cotrell to NY?? please, no). Anyway whats the feeling here about Tice (strengths/weaknesses). Good luck with your new HC.

Re: Mike Tice
Nice guy -- Know's offense but can't call plays. Players love him because he is "one of them." May do well if he surrounds himself with some quality people but never had that chance here because of cheap owner. He is so down to earth and laid back he will never get along with the NY press. They will squash him like a bug.Kentucky Vikes Fan
When you require nothing, you get nothing; when you expect nothing, you will find nothing; when you embrace nothing, all you will have is nothing.
Re: Mike Tice
You'll get mixed opinions here, but I feel he can do well with a competent staff of coaches. He had shit here.
He's still learning (he went straight from an O-Line coach to HC) but I think he will do well.

Re: Mike Tice
I think Tice is going to be a great head coach eventually. He is still relatively new, and was always handicapped by a cheap franchise owner. Players relate better to him than most coaches, and that is good for moral. I hope he does get a chance with the Jets. He deserves it.
Plus he can throw a red challenge flag almost half way across the field!Zeus wrote:

We put him through training camp, if he just needs to tweak his style a bit and he should be better at his job.
Tice is a whiner, always trying to play the PressConf for sympathy. If he does that in NYC, they will chew him up and spit him out. Not quite as entertaining as Herm.
He is a great guy unless you get on his bad side. Then you are in his doghouse. You stay there until Tice is done whining and stewing, and if he ever gets over it, you might get to play again.
Ticefeld is a good comedy, we(not all) just got tired of the reruns, 32-33. Stretch of good shows followed by a stretch of bad shows was hard to stomach.
I don't mean to be totally negative, actually partial to the guy, just got tired of him riding my bike with training wheels on, when he should have taken them off 2 years ago, so he could ride with the big boys. Keep up Tice, got to go over the whoop-de-doos, and take those stupid training wheels off and whipe that tear from your eye, it isn't that bad. You won't hurt yourself.
Re: Mike Tice
tice is a "new" coach, he needs more years under his belt. he's a good guy and he cares about his players. he also knows how to find talent if you have paid any attention to our past few drafts we are loaded with talented young players.
oh and don't forget denny green pretty much destroyed the team before he left and he left tice with a complete mess to fix. and like the other guys said our coaching staff was the lowest paid in the nfl, parcells alone made more last year than our whole staff. so pretty much you get your moneys worth and for us that wasn't much. i think tice did quite well with having nothing to work with. look at kevin williams that guy is awesome and when we drafted him high in the first round everyone said who is that guy? then the jets drafted robertson before us and that guy pretty much hasn't done anything. i watched the videos of williams when we drafted him and he got blocked, he didn't have gaping holes to run through either like robertson had. williams was a bull out there and he was over looked by several teams and the jets who grabbed robertson.I don t buy Wisconsin cheese.

I think if Tice is given the right opportunity, and money to get some good coaches on his staff he can succeed. He now has 4 years of being the head coach under his belt and if he has a strong GM and player personal behind him he can possible be the right guy for the job.
The problem I see with the Jets is more that the owner does not know what he wants for a H/C, or the patients to let the guy build the team. The New York media will like Tice at first, but will grow tired of him quickly and so will the fans.
Do I think Tice is the right man for the Jets H/C job? No
The owner and the fans in New York will not be patient enough, he should turn down this offer and wait for one that would be a better fit! I think he would be better off to accept a coordinator job for a few years, and then try for for a head coaching job at that point.What we've got here is failure to communicate.
Re: Mike Tice
Tice has the potential to be a good coach, but right now I would call him average at best. The fact is he was given the job because he was cheap, and he was cheap because he was actually ready to be a head coach.
I think Tice has a chance to succeed, but not in NY. The media will tear him apart, and that is unfortunate. In order to give Tice a chnce to succeed, fans will have to "put up" with his failure a bit mroe than usual. He is the exact opposite of Herm Edwards when it comes to press conferences."I hate when threads are destroyed by facts and logic."

Thanks Josdin!
Re: Mike Tice
With a full coaching staff Tice could be a great head coach. His main weakness is he still acts like a player, so he lacks some struacture and motivation skills.

Q. We were at dinner with some friends who are self-employed, as are we. They just bought a new SUV and said we should consider doing so before year end since we were considering replacing our truck with an SUV in the next couple of years anyway. They tried to explain the benefits, but they rely on a CPA to make sure they do everything correctly, while we do our own taxes.
Should we jump on this and make a major purchase, and if so, could you explain why?
I wouldn't spend money just to save taxes, but if you are planning to buy a new vehicle for your business, it may make sense to do so before year end. I'll provide a simplified explanation, but it may also make sense for you to hire a tax professional on this and other issues that apply to the self-employed and to small-business owners.
This is the last year for what was once called the "Hummer tax loophole." Section 179 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code is the tax code allowing for the deduction of the cost of certain types of property as an expense, rather than requiring the cost to be capitalized and depreciated. The property is limited to that which is acquired by purchase for use in a trade or business. The Section 179 election is not mandatory, but it's usually more advantageous than depreciating property over a number of years using the modified asset cost recovery system.
To take the Section 179 election, the property must be purchased and placed in service before midnight Dec. 31.
There are dollar limits:
• The maximum deduction a taxpayer may elect for 2012 is $139,000 on qualified new and used equipment as well as off-the-shelf software. This limit is reduced to $25,000 for years beginning after 2012.
• There is a limit also on how much can be spent in a single taxable year before the allowed 179 deduction is reduced. This dollar amount is $560,000 for 2012 and $200,000 thereafter. In 2012, there is also a 50 percent bonus depreciation that can be taken for new equipment purchases.
If you want to buy an SUV, to get the largest deduction you need to purchase a large vehicle, and it must be new, not just new to you. The gross vehicle weight must exceed 6,000 pounds and not be more than 14,000 pounds. If the salesperson doesn't know the gross vehicle weight, the poundage can be found on the specifications plate inside the driver's side front door.
You must purchase and place the SUV in service (drive at least one business mile) before midnight Dec. 31. You can expense up to $25,000 under Section 179, plus a 50 percent bonus depreciation and MACRS depreciation.
Example: You buy and place in service a new $45,000 qualifying SUV for which you can claim 100 percent business use. You can expense $25,000 plus the 50 percent bonus $10,000 plus the MACRS depreciation.
A qualifying used SUV does not qualify for the 50 percent bonus depreciation, but it still qualifies for the Section 179 expensing of up to $25,000.
Meet with a tax professional to see whether a purchase makes sense in your situation.

Give them lights, camera, action, and a script written by mother nature and you get a lot of improvisation.
It is day one of a 13 week production schedule for the movie "East Side Story."
The romeo-and-Juliet inspired film, directed by David Winters, features more than just good actors.
"This movie is all about dance and its all about love and how it can be achieved together," said Bay County Film Commissioner Julie Gordon.
After a minor set back due to weather the camera truck keeps the shots steady, but what about the extras?
"They've been out here covering up in towels and beach blankets and they'll whip them off so we can shoot the scene," said Gordon. "And then we'll go back to it. So they've been great."
Paul Wills is one of those extras and he's making it a family affair.
"It's been considerably cooler with a healthy breeze so it's a challenge at this point," said Wills.
In Sunday's pool scene... Wills job is easy.
"Just what you would do at a pool," said Wills. "And be an exciting part of the scene. It's fantastic."
Wills says the experience and people make it worth while.
"David winters is a fantastic guy," said Wills. "He's very open and easy to talk to and you can just go up and talk to him anytime.
"It has been an exceptional experience to be able to talk to somebody of that kind of caliber."
Not for him, and not necessarily for his career, Wills wants this movie venture to inspire other filmmakers to call his little beach town "home".
"More than just for me," said Wills. "For all of Panama City to be able to bring more movies in here and be an experienced part of I think is the big picture I'm looking for."

The fourth class of medical students to be accepted to the Columbia-Bassett Medical School Program spent the week of Aug. 5-9 in Cooperstown getting to know the Bassett Medical Center campus as well as the community. The students will return to Bassett in January 2015.
The first day of orientation week was spent working alongside area business owners. Some of the students worked at a farm in Cooperstown, some helped out at an automobile repair shop, others joined a construction crew, and a couple of students spent the day working at a local restaurant.
The week in Cooperstown also included:
• a dinner session with James Carse, an author and professor emeritus, New York University, discussing the forces that influence people and dominate business and politics;
• discussion sessions with professors from Columbia's School of Business and School of Public Health about the U.S. health care system and medical errors;
• shadowing doctors in the outpatient clinic and in the hospital setting;
• and visits to the New York State Historical Association and Glimmerglass Opera.
According to a media release, the week of orientation provides an opportunity for these aspiring physicians to understand their patients as people by seeing them in the environment in which they live and work. They were also introduced to the Columbia-Bassett curriculum, which is designed to graduate physicians who understand and can lead the health systems of the future.
The 10 students who comprise the Columbia-Bassett Class of 2017 are: Rachel Criswell, Yale University; Brandon Garcia, Dartmouth; Daniel Hoesterey, Claremont McKenna College; Marcos Lopez, Jr., University of Florida; Kathryn Nagel, Middlebury College; Kirby Pruis, Indiana University, Bloomington; Rachel Severin, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor; Henna Shaikh, McGill; Peter Young, Williams College; Jonah Zuflacht, Williams College.
The class will spend its first 18 months at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons before returning to Bassett for two and a half years of clinical training. Learn more about the Columbia-Bassett program at:www.columbia-bassett.org/

Despite four important wins and three seconds on Santa Anita's major Breeders' Cup program at Santa Anita Saturday, Gary Stevens was not resting on his laurels on a picturesque Sunday morning at The Great Race Place. Far from it.
Nearly a year into his return to the saddle at the age of 50 after a seven-year retirement, Gary Stevens is looking to the future.
And why not? Yesterday he finished second on She's a Tiger in the Grade I Chandelier Stakes; second aboard Marketing Mix in the Grade I Rodeo Drive Stakes; won the Grade I Zenyatta Stakes on Beholder; won the Grade I Awesome Again Stakes on Mucho Macho Man; and capped his day with a win aboard Ponchatrain in the lost-in-the-shuffle Unzip Me Stakes.
Looking fresh and fit, Stevens was able to capsulize in typically articulate fashion his memorable experience.
"My good friend Mike Tice (former Head Coach, Minnesota Vikings) texted me yesterday and said, 'I see you're on a bunch, which ones do you like?' I said, 'You know me; all of 'em,' so he texted me last night and said, 'Man, you weren't lying.'
"I had some tough beats. She's a Tiger is really going to benefit from yesterday's race, so I look forward to her coming back in the Breeders' Cup (Juvenile Fillies on Nov. 1). Obviously, it was a tough loss for Marketing Mix (beaten a head), too. I think she'll move forward as well.
"They were tough beats but I was able to shake them off and say, 'Well, I've got four more really good chances here, and being able to pull it off was a pretty good feeling."
Hard to speculate that Beholder and Mucho Macho Man could run any better than they did Saturday, but Stevens said he thinks they, too, will benefit."
Despite his wondrous day on the race track, the best was yet to come for Stevens Saturday.
"I didn't sleep at all last night, to be honest with you," Gary said. "I celebrated a little bit after the races, but when I got home, my son (Tory C., known as T.C.) had a runner (Sultry Warrior) in the 10th race at Churchill Downs last night. I got home in time to see it and he won his first race (as a trainer).
"It paid $104.40 and I think I got more wound up over that than the day I had."
Proving once again that blood is thicker than water, or money too, for that matter.
Richie Silverstein and Martin Pedroza have been an "item" for nearly three decades. The durable agent and the unsinkable jockey have maintained a business relationship that has developed into a trusting friendship.
Pedroza, under-rated as a world class rider, has a reputation first and foremost centered on his overwhelming success at Fairplex Park, a five-eighths of a mile course in Pomona 20 miles east of Santa Anita where the 48-year-old Pedroza has won a record 15 riding titles, 14 of them with Silverstein calling the shots.
At the meet that concluded Sept. 22, Pedroza was the leading rider with 25 wins, giving him a career record 730 at the Los Angeles County Fair track. His wins came from 73 mounts for a winning percentage of 34. He had $485,540 in purse earnings.
The 25 victories came despite Pedroza missing three days recovering from a sore knee in a riding mishap in the sixth race on Sept. 14. The pain on his face was beyond a grimace after he worked horses at Santa Anita early this week.
"He got dropped in an unfortunate incident that probably should have never happened, but it did happen," Silverstein said. "That's racing. Pomona's Pomona. This is three years in a row we've had to sustain an injury, and it's unfortunate. They weren't breakdowns. The track was safe, it was terrific. It was a credit to Martin that he rode the last three days. It's a miracle.
"It was a good meet, and all in all, we were happy to be back on top again and happy to win the (Ralph M. Hinds) Handicap again (aboard Blueskiesnrainbows for Jerry Hollendorfer)." Last year, Pedroza was dethroned at Fairplex by Edwin Maldonado. Pedroza's career statistics are remarkably consistent. He has 3,586 firsts, 3,547 seconds and 3,456 thirds.
Any doubters of Pedroza's grit and determination should watch a replay of Saturday's Grade I Vosburgh Invitational victory aboard Private Zone at Belmont Park.
Private Zone appeared beaten in deep stretch, but Pedroza would have none of it. Passed on the outside by John Velazquez aboard Justin Phillip, Pedroza called on all his reserve, rousing Private Zone for an unlikely nose victory. Rene Douglas, a former jockey who retired in 2009 after a paralyzing spill at Arlington Park, manages Private Zone for the Good Friends Stable trained by Doug O'Neill.
"Douglas found Private Zone in Panama, and there aren't too many good horses there," Silverstein said. "This may be the first American Grade I stakes winner that came from there. I talked to Rene yesterday and he's very excited, so much so that if all goes well, he definitely will come to Santa Anita to see Private Zone run (in the Breeders' Cup Sprint Nov. 2). This would be a rare trip, although he did go to Dubai (for the Golden Shaheen). Rene usually does everything at his home in Florida via computer."
The Vosburgh was only Pedroza's second ride ever at Belmont. He finished second on Miss Iron Smoke for the late Brian Mayberry in the Grade I Matron in 1991.
"Martin riding for Rene carries extra significance," Silverstein said. "I like to think that I'm Martin's best friend, but Rene and Martin went through jockey school together (in their native Panama) and they've known each other since their early teens. With Rene's unfortunate accident, they are closer than ever."
Silverstein, Pedroza's agent off and on for the better part of 27 years, has achieved much but still has his sights set on greater things. "My goal was to get him to 3,000 wins," Silverstein said. "Now we're close to 3,600 (3,586 through Saturday). My goal was to get him to $100 million in purses, we've passed that ($100,686,406). My next goal is to get him to 4,000 winners.
"I'm four years way."
Outside of not winning Saturday's Awesome Again Stakes with Paynter, who finished a game second to 4 ¼-length winner Mucho Macho Man, Bob Baffert couldn't have been more encouraged with Paynter's performance.
"He took the worst of it but never quit running," Baffert said of the 4-year-old son of Awesome Again who almost died from laminitis and colitis in 2012. "He ran hard, and he's still a little rusty, but I think he caught up yesterday. He never gave it up. He's a tough horse. That's the first time he's ever taken a lot of dirt. He got a pretty good schooling yesterday. He ran well.
"When Mucho Macho Man runs his race, he's a really good horse. He ran his race yesterday. I watched The Jockey Club Gold Cup (at Belmont Park) and Ron the Greek was very impressive, too."
Meanwhile, in addition to Paynter, Baffert has Game On Dude sitting at the ready for the Breeders' Cup Classic, which, after yesterday, became what appears to be the most eagerly anticipated race of the year.
The Jim Murray Memorial Foundation will hold its annual fundraising event on Saturday, Oct. 12 at Santa Anita with a "Day at the Races & Monte Carlo Night."
In addition, there will be a book signing of "Last King of the Sports Page: The Life and Career of Jim Murray" authored by Murray's good friend, Dr. Ted Geltner, from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Champions Gift Shop adjacent to Santa Anita's walking ring.
FINISH LINES: Trainer Kathy Ritvo said Mucho Macho Man will remain at Santa Anita after his dominating Awesome Again win and train here for the Breeders' Cup Classic . . . Trainer Larry Jones, on the other hand, plans to ship Joyful Victory back east following her third to Beholder in the Zenyatta. "We'll head to Churchill and if she comes out of this good, we'll come back (for the Distaff on Nov. 1)." . . . Richard Mandella said he "couldn't be happier" with how Beholder ran and how she came out of the race . . . Mike McCarthy, assistant to Todd Pletcher, was on hand at Santa Anita Sunday morning, a day after 3-year-old filly Princess of Sylmar upset champion older mare Royal Delta in the Beldame Invitational. "That was exciting," McCarthy said. "Anytime you can beat an older horse and a champion, it's huge." . . . Agent Tony Matos reports that Garrett Gomez rides at Keeneland on opening day, Friday, Oct. 4, and Saturday, Oct. 5. Gomez's stakes mounts include Winning Cause in the Phoenix on Friday, and on Saturday, Havelock in the Woodford Reserve, Gypsy Robin for Mike Puype against champion Groupie Doll in the Thoroughbred of America, Hungry Island in the First Lady and Winning Prize for Neil Drysdale in the Shadwell Turf Mile . . . California-bred Harlington's Rose, who outran her 52-1 odds by finishing fourth in the Grade I Chandelier Stakes, returns next to face Cal-breds in the $200,000 Golden State Juvenile Fillies at one mile on Nov. 1, trainer Steve Knapp said . . . Starting with a bankroll of $2,500 each, four participants struck gold in Santa Anita's $40 Handicapping Contest, three players reaping more than $30,000. Kenneth McMahan was first with $50,298; Jeannie King was second at $38,425, Brian Chenvert third with $30,680, and Ed Spaunhurst fourth with $12,307. For more details, visit santaanita.com . . . After two days of racing, 2,307 players remained alive in ShowVivor . . . On Santa Anita's work tab Sunday, there was a five furlong drill by a horse named Drysdale, trained by Julio Canani.

Police investigating after Bishop Auckland dog attack
12:47pm Thursday 17th January 2013 in News
AN elderly woman was bitten by a dog as she walked her own pet in a churchyard in Bishop Auckland.
The 69-year-old was in the grounds of St Andrew's Church, in Bishop Auckland, when a dog not on a lead bit her small rescue dog and herself several times.
The incident occurred at about 11am on Friday, January 11.
The man with the attacking dog is described as 5ft 10ins tall, 40 to 50-years-old, of medium to stocky build, a weathered face and brown hair.
He was wearing a brown hat and dark fleece jacket.
He had two dogs with him, one a fawn greyhound/whippet type animal and the other a Jack Russell, described as hairy, white with apricot patches and one bent ear.
The man claimed the dog belonged to his daughter and walked off in the direction of McCullagh Gardens.
The victim suffered bruising and was badly shaken and the dog required veterinary treatment for a bite to its stomach.
Witnesses are asked to call PC Emma Bartley, of Bishop Auckland police, on 101 or via Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800-555-111.

Parents rally to save Truebright
- Written by Damon C. Williams
- Published in News Headlines
Science charter school faces budget crisis
It's now become apparent that charter schools aren't exempt to budgetary shutdowns and closures, and Truebright Science Academy charter school is just the latest school to face extinction.
Echoing the grassroots missions that were at least partially responsible for saving E.M. Stanton and Isaac A. Sheppard elementary schools, stakeholders and involved parents recently held a town hall meeting at the suggestion of state Sen. Shirley Kitchen, said Truebright CEO Beker Duz.
"The town hall meeting with Senator Kitchen was about our charter school renewal, in regard to the recommendation from the Charter School Office," Duz said. "More than 100 people were there, expressing their concerns to Kitchen. So she is supporting us, doing everything she can to save Truebright.
"No one wants to see Truebright closed."
Duz is Truebright's second CEO since it opened in 2007. It is now up for charter renewal, and a final meeting to decide Truebright's fate will be held on April 19; however, Duz considers such a meeting a fait d'accompli, since the CSO has already decided to close Truebright.
Duz said the school's consistent academic achievements have earned Truebright some respite.
"I am happy to tell you that Truebright is meeting its goal" of providing core knowledge that prepares students for college or other post-high school education, Duz said. "We have graduated 97 percent from our first senior class, and of those graduates, 100 percent were accepted to college, so we've had real great success.
"We're located in a part of the city where the poverty rate is really high, and economically, this part of the city has been hit the hardest."
Truebright's officials aren't relenting in their drive to save their school. It has released a massive, 105-page rebuttal of the CSO's plan to close the North Philadelphia-based school. It goes into great detail in laying out Truebright's strengths — and its value to the community.
For example, the rebuttal contends that the CSO may have drawn conclusions based on inaccurate and incomplete data. The documents provided by Truebright suggest that CSO believed that Truebright only made Adequate Yearly Progress — AYP — in two of the past four years; has consistently lagged behind state and district standards; that 45 percent of Truebright students are below basic levels, and that Truebright has been placed on warning notice for the 2010–2011 school year.
Duz contends that Truebright has only had AYP status for three years, and reached the qualifications in two of them. Truebright has also matched the statewide and district-wide numbers for math and reading comprehension. Under Duz' leadership, Truebright has also instituted a volunteer Saturday program, where students — those excelling in their studies and other who aren't — can go sharpen their skills or receive additional instruction.
Duz believes Truebright's hybrid nature — the school serves students in grades 7 through 12 — and that the CSO's decision is based on a too-small data pool also played a role in the reasoning to shutter the school.
"Truebright is a middle and high school, but we have only 90 students in our middle school. There are 200-plus in our high school, so [the CSO's] decision is based on a small portion of students, and that doesn't make sense.
"We are making even greater gains, when one considers we have to address the significant learning deficits in the student body," Duz continued. "Truebright has met previous standards, but even with all the success we've had, the CSO is still looking at a very small portion of the student body. "
When reached for comment, the CSO referred to the SRC for comment, but as of Tribune press time, the SRC hadn't returned calls for comment. Duz said he has reached out numerous times to both the SRC and CSO, netting minimal results.
"We have invited the SRC to [Truebright], but it was renewal time and was told they couldn't talk to us directly," Duz said. "And that is why we prepared the rebuttal.
"It doesn't make sense to reverse a course of action that benefits our most precious resource, our children."

Denny Hamlin was supposed to spend Monday night unconscious on an operating table, surgeons working on his damaged knee.
Instead, after pulling off the signature win of his career, he spent the evening partying at his Charlotte nightclub with none other than Michael Jordan.
Go figure.
It's becoming clear that Hamlin and Jordan share a common trait: If you tell them they can't do something, they might Just Do It.
There was no reason to believe Hamlin could pass eight cars in the final five green-flag laps at Martinsville, but that's exactly what he did. He proved that fresh tires and willpower is more important than track position – even at a place so narrow and unforgiving.
When crew chief Mike Ford called his driver into the pits with precious few laps remaining – a decision that dropped Hamlin from first to ninth – most of the hearty fans who returned to see the rain-delayed race likely had one of two thoughts:
1) NASCAR needs to give that guy a random drug test!
2) What a moron!
You've heard of the book Bury My Heart At Wounded Knee? This was the sequel: Bury My Driver With Wounded Knee.
Hamlin was done, toast. The No. 11 car had just given the race away.
Who knew those watching the race were about to witness Denny's Last Stand (at least before the surgery)?
The green flag waved, and Hamlin made his charge. Ryan Newman was bumped out of the way. Removed from the picture, really. Meanwhile, as another battle flared between leader Jeff Gordon and Matt Kenseth, Hamlin slipped through the chaos and suddenly, amazingly, improbably, won the race.
"Whose house is this?" Hamlin yelled gleefully on the team radio.
Leading up to the race, Hamlin had made no secret of his plans to win at the Virginia short track – this despite a disappointing start to the season in which he had no top-10 finishes to date.
The most recent King of Martinsville – Jimmie Johnson – had refused to call his shot before the race. Asked if he'd win at there again, Johnson said, "I can't Babe Ruth it."
That's not Johnson's style.
But Hamlin won't shy away from expressing his opinion on what he's capable of doing – a mix of confidence, swagger and self-motivating smack talk.
In this case, he Babe Ruth'd it.
Perhaps it's a quality gleaned from NBA players, whom he observes from his courtside seats at Charlotte Bobcats games.
Bobcats owner Jordan knows as well as anyone there's a difference between saying you can do something and actually doing it, though, and that's where Hamlin is starting to make his mark.
Can the driver who has always reveled in proving his doubters wrong keep fending off the skeptics?
As of Wednesday, when Hamlin undergoes major knee surgery, there will be more than ever.
Hamlin's torn ACL will be repaired and his knee will require months of rehabilitation – a period during which Hamlin insists he will race.
How? And more specifically, how well?
It seems highly unlikely Hamlin won't see a drop in performance after his knee surgery. That's just common sense.
Hamlin, though, says he'll be able to drive, probably won't get out of the car for a relief driver and will be strong enough by the Chase to topple Johnson for the championship.
All three of those things seem hard to believe.
But if there's one thing we learned from Martinsville, it's that when Hamlin says he'll do something, we may want to listen.
