Thousands of people turned out for a political rally in front of Budapest's
parliament building on Sunday afternoon to demonstrate against the far-Right
Jobbik party.
Last week, Jobbik's deputy leader Marton Gyongyosi said in
the Hungarian parliament that a list should be drawn up of Jews in Hungary,
especially those in parliament and the Hungarian government, "who pose a
national security risk to Hungary."
Several senior Hungarian politicians
spoke during Sunday's rally, including Antal Rogan, the parliamentary faction
leader of the ruling Fidesz party.
Addressing the huge crowd, Rogan
declared that genocide always begins with lists, and said that it is
unacceptable not to learn from the past 100 years of history, Hungary's ATV
television channel reported.
Dr. Efraim Zuroff, director of the Simon
Wiesenthal Center in Israel, said that demonstration was an "appropriate
response to the outrageous anti-Semitic and anti-Roma [Gypsy] incitement by the
Jobbik party and Gyongyosi's speech," and that the rally was a "positive way of
delegitimizing the party's hatred."
"The Jobbik party speaks in terms
which should be unacceptable in the EU and in Hungary," Zuroff said. "They are a
poster-boy for the new anti-Semitism, which combines old hatred of Jews with the
hatred of Israel."
Zuroff also commented that the party should serve as
an example of what can go wrong with "the right-hand side of the political map
when economic crises strike."
In addition, deputy Jobbik chairman and
Hungarian MP Elod Novak demanded that a fellow lawmaker resign because she has
Israeli citizenship, the Jewish Telegraphic Agency reported on
According to JTA, Novak said during a news conference on Thursday
that Katalin Ertsey of the liberal LMP Party should step down because she holds
an Israeli passport in addition to her Hungarian one.
Jobbik is a fierce
critic of Israel and has expressed solidarity with the Palestinians and Iran,
against what it calls "Israeli aggression."
The party is also accused of
anti-Roma incitement, and exploiting the negative feelings towards Hungary's
Roma minority is a central feature of the party's political focus.

A 3-year-old child died Monday morning after police say a speeding car crashed into an oncoming vehicle two days before.
Phoenix Police Lt. Ben Henry says witnesses saw two vehicles speeding that may have been illegal street racing near 31st Avenue and Greenway.
At some point, officers believe of those cars, an Acura, hit an oncoming Nissan sedan head-on and then rolled over onto its roof.
Bystanders started administering first aid before firefighters arrived.
3-year-old Eric Garces was riding in the Nissan and had a life threatening injury. He was taken to a hospital where he died on Monday morning.
His family was with him when he passed away.
Also in the Nissan, was a man and two other children, ages 5 and 10.
Police say the man had serious, but non-life threatening injuries. He wasn't impaired.
11-year-old and 5-year-old children had non-life threatening injuries.
The driver of the Acura, 19-year-old Edgar Martinez, had minor injuries and officers say he may have been impaired by drugs. His front seat passenger had serious, but non-life threatening injuries.
Martinez was booked into the Maricopa County Fourth Avenue Jail for four counts of aggravated assault and one count of endangerment.
Police say he will likely face manslaughter charges.
The roadway was closed during Saturday night while officers investigated.

Directors Asked How They Would Bring the Magic to the Final "Potter" FilmsMovies
MTV.com has an article online asking some popular film directors such as George Miller, director of "Happy Feet," Rob Zombie, of the horror flick "Halloween," and "Pan's Labyrinth" director Guillermo del Toro, of how they would take on the magical world if they were chosen to direct the final film, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Guillermo del Toro speaks in the article of how he might like to see Prisoner of Azkaban director Alfonso Cuaron back for the Seventh film, saying:
"I actually got offered the third one, before Alfonso, and I actually asked the question, 'What about Alfonso?' Because I thought he was perfect for it. I really love the books, they're incredibly rich and textured, incredibly well-informed and- researched, and I think they have a very dark universe â it's actually darker than the movies have been, up until Alfonso came on board. Now they have a darker tone. I would hope that he would return, because out of all the movies that I've seen, that have been released, his is the one that I've liked the most. I would love for him to come back into that universe. I hope he gets to play in it again."
You can read the rest of Mr. del Toro's interview as well what the other directors have to say about the film on MTV.com, but parents should be cautioned, this article does contain quotes from some directors that contain adult language that may not be suitable for younger readers.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) – About 92 percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims die before reaching the hospital, according to the American Heart Association. CPR can double, or even triple, a victim's chance of survival.
Employees with the hospital set up post at the Wilmington airport Wednesday in an effort to train 200,000 people to do hands-only CPR. They were at the airport from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and said training only takes a matter of minutes.
According to the American Heart Association website, hands-only CPR involves pushing hard and fast in the center of the chest to the beat of the classic disco song "Stayin' Alive."

American Commercial Security Services (ACSS) employs thousands of security guards stationed in facilities throughout California. The security guards are classified as nonexempt employees and frequently work more than eight hours per day. Company policy required guards to be on call during rest and meal breaks and available through cellphones or pagers. When employees left the company, ACSS refused to compensate them for hours spent working through their breaks.
Four security guards filed class actions that were later consolidated against ACSS and its parent company, alleging violations of California's labor code and unfair business practices act.
Finding that "[p]ut simply, if you are on call, you are not on break," the trial court awarded about $89.74 million, including about $55.89 million in unpaid wages, about $31.2 million in interest, and about $2.65 million to account for six months spent waiting for unpaid wages after leaving the company.

Jamaican Bobsled team raising funds for Sochi

Jamaica already has a two-man bobsled team that has qualified for the Sochi Olympics.
Now, the country, as well as "Cool Runnings" fans from around the world are trying to get the men, and their sled, to the games in southwestern Russia.
After missing the last two winter Olympic games, the team is looking to recapture the glory that once was -- dating back to the country's first qualifiers in 1988 and subsequent visits in 1992, 1994, 1998 and 2002.
Team president Chris Stokes -- not to be confused with John Candy -- has set up a crowdfunding page for the initiative via CrowdTilt. With eight days to go and an $80,000 goal, the team has raised just under $40,000 as of 2:25 P.M. MST on Monday.
"Some people say they know they can't believe, Jamaica, we have a bobsled team."

By JEFF MEYERS, Press-Republican
---- — KEENE VALLEY — Legislation signed into law by Gov. Andrew Cuomo this week will help the region's ongoing battle against invasive species.
The Invasive Species Prevention Act, unanimously passed by the New York State Legislature in June, is designed to create a statewide regulatory system to prohibit or limit the sale and transport of plants and animals known to threaten communities, natural areas and job-creating industries that depend on natural resources.
"This will probably be one of the most effective strategies for dealing with invasive species that we've seen," said Hilary Smith, director of the Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program.
"A lot of our work focuses on the early detection of invasive species of concern and doing rapid response or long-term management," she added. "Many of these species have been introduced unintentionally through the sale of aquatic species through aquariums or nurseries."
The bill, which was sponsored by Sen. Betty Little (R-Queensbury) and co-sponsored by Assemblywoman Teresa Sayward (R-Willsboro), requires the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and Department of Agriculture and Markets to develop regulations for the sale, purchase, possession, introduction, importation and transport of invasive species.
The agencies will also develop a list of prohibited species that will be unlawful to possess with the intent to sell or introduce, as well as lower tiers of regulated species that would be legal to possess but with restrictions.
"By identifying the worst invasive species in New York that will no longer be available for sale, it will ease the burden on management of invasives for the long term," Smith said. "These species won't be making their way into the lands and waters of New York state in the future.
"We're spending a lot of money to prevent the spread of purple loose strife," she gave as an example, "but it's kind of discouraging if someone is planting it next door."
Experts within the field of invasive species will assist the two state departments in developing a list of species, which is expected to be completed within an 18-month assessment and public-comment period.
"We have seen the economic and environmental impacts that invasive species can have," said Michael Carr, executive director of the Nature Conservancy's Adirondack Chapter in a press release. "Whether it's Eurasian watermilfoil choking one of our lakes, Japanese knotweed degrading river corridors or emerald ash borer threatening our forests, we must reduce or eliminate the spread of invasive species."
The Adirondack region remains relatively free of invasive species. Two out of three waters surveyed by volunteers are free of aquatic invasive species. The average size of a Japanese knotweed infestation is lest than 0.1 acres in the interior Adirondacks.
The new legislation can go a long way in protecting those areas not yet impacted, experts say.
"This is an important milestone and a huge step forward for New York state," Troy Weldy, the Nature Conservancy's representative on the New York State Invasive Species Advisory Committee, said in a statement.
"At a time when community resources are already being stretched to the limit, this bill will ease the burden of management costs down the road by preventing new introduction of harmful invasives."
Invasive species are non-native plants and animals that cause harm to the environment and human health. They also put at risk economically important industries, including farming, forestry, tourism and commercial and recreational fishing.
"The bottom line is that we all know that preventing the spread of invasive species is critical," Smith said. "If we're going to be successful, this (law) is going to be instrumental in helping all of us across the state."
Nationally, the impact of invasive species is estimated at $167 billion annually.

It's official, our very own Underworld has been selected as music directors along side Danny Boyle for the 2012 Olympic Games in London next summer.
Billboard Magazine writes..
Karl Hyde, one-half of British electronic duo Underworld, tells Billboard.com that serving as the music directors for the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games will be "very slightly bigger than anything we've ever done." And although Hyde and Rick Smith has already been putting together musical idea for the three-hour event on July 27, 2012, Hyde won't reveal any grand musical ideas — but advises fans to "expect the unexpected."

Enjoying a conservatory musical education from childhood, Javier and Luis Garayalde are skilled multi-instrumentalists. Along with their father, a scholar and saxophone player, they were part of various Jazz bands before developing an inter- est in electronic music, Acid Jazz and House in the 1990s.
Having released tracks on various imprints, including their own, they have enjoyed collabo- rations with the likes of Gilles Peterson and Masters at Work while touring internationally for a decade. Appearances at Popkomm in Cologne, Midem in Cannes and even a four night station at the Blue Note in Tokyo saw them sharing the stage with Eddie Palmierei, Azymyth, Marcos Valle and Chick Corea.
Moving from Madrid to Brazil, the duo found new inspiration and continued to fold their influ- ences into a unique sound. The Jazz of their youth, the punch of House and the enchanting warmth of Bossa came together to form the Wagon Cookin' sound – a recipe that could only be synthesized by brothers who have travelled the world; watching, listening, learning.

Just wondering if you can freeze iced cupcakes. My mom and daughter are having a bake sale to raise money for a mission trip to Bangladesh and I wanted to do some cupcakes ahead of time. Will they turn out ok if I ice them and then freeze them?
- August 28, 2010
- Saucy said...
I don't see any reason why not. Avoid putting too much cream or milk in your buttercream, might just be best to use a little less icing sugar so it isn't as stiff and doesn't need the cream at all. I think the cream or milk might make it thaw funny.
You should be able to frost them and put them in an airtight container for about a week.
If it were me, I'd bake the cupcakes and freeze them undecorated and make the frosting (as usual, with the cream) and store it in the fridge (it keeps for a really long time... a couple of weeks).
It doesn't take long to frost the cupcakes. The morning of the sale or the night before, thaw out the cupcakes on the counter. Take them out of the airtight container so they don't get soggy when they thaw. I'd put them on a baking rack and lay a clean tea towel over them. Take your frosting out of the fridge a few hours before you plan to decorate (I store mine pre-made in giant ziploc bags).
Then, just before the bake sale you can frost those bad boys quickly and they'll be fresh as a daisy! Good luck!

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
John Eaton is a world heritage school. This means they have a grant to incorporate international culture into their curriculum. They are building a globally minded student body early on, by intergrtaing world cultures into the learning experience. With Americans being in general terms being so insular, this global mindset is essential for allowing our children to grow into cultural sensitive, and competitive in global economy we live in. John Eaton also boasts a diverse economic and ethnic population with dozens of languages spoken. Additionally Mandarin is offered to all the students starting in pre-K. Teachers and staff are caring and the principal Mr. Mann is very engaged and responsive. Additionally, John Eaton has very active parent involment that is constantly putting on events and creating a community. I feel so lucky that my son Gabriel is able to go to such an amazing public school and would recommend it to everyone.
I agree with many of the comments, but the fact is that Eaton could be a much stronger school academically. It lags significantly behind its peer schools (Janney, Mann, Lafayette Murch) not only in test scores, but in enrichment opportunities. I think that diversity is quite important, but the most emphasis should be placed on academic quality. At times there has been an undercurrent among some parents that Eaton is "good enough" and concern that it not become too attractive to the surrounding neighborhood (where privates still draw a number of students), lest population from outside the school's neighborhood be reduced. (This of course, is not valid, since all existing students and families are grandfathered, no matter whether in-boundary enrollments fluctuates short term.) Finally, Easton needs to get serious about school modernization. While the school site is too small to grow the school, the physical plant is in need of serious modernization. One, small all-purpose room serves all school needs. For some reason, Eaton keeps falling behind in the school modernization queue, and for whatever reason neither parents nor the school administration wants to make waves.
We moved from CT and had 30 days to find a school for my kindergartener. DCPS was very helpful explaining what schools had foreign language programs, etc. We chose Eaton b/c of the Chinese program and the brilliant diversity of the student body. My son is now in first grade and we are so satisfied on so many levels. The teachers, Principal, and Vice-Principal are insightful, dedicated and creative, everyone is accepting and there is positive energy every day. My son is now a happy first grade student and is getting a wonderful foundation that he will carry through life.
Eaton has a new principal as of Fall 2011 and he is doing things well so far, having replaced the principal spoken so highly of in previous reviews. We feel really lucky to have gotten into Eaton. The racial diversity of the student body is very balanced and this is rare in DC for any school. A large number of out-of-boundary children means that it enrolls children from all over the city--so it's diverse in that way too. The architectural floor plan places 4-6 classrooms off of each common area, so even though it has 400+ children, every area of the school feels intimate. Perhaps as a result, it feels much more like a private school: the kids seem to feel ownership and connection to the place. The current climate among teachers is collaborative, which is a great indicator of both morale and professionalism. Our son came from a tiny Montessori and we were worried he might feel overwhelmed and put off by the institutional aspects of DCPS. This has not been the case; he loves going to school there. He is too young and has not been there long enough to assess academics, but I believe a healthy school culture is key to a school's success and Eaton has surpassed our expectations.
My son went to John Eaton thiry years ago and the comments are the still the same. The only thing that has changed are the new staff members. He received a foundation that was better than the Catholic school that his brother had attended. I am still proud of John Eaton. If they follow their students, they will find that almost a hundred percent of them are successful.
I'm sure things have changed over the years, but I am a graduate of Eaton ('93) and I believe that I was offered the best public education DC has to offer. Awesome teachers and just a great place to learn.
I think Eaton comes out top in many categories. A principal who is always there, greets parents and students by name,helps to serve breakfast. The school oozes ,.diversity diversity diversity,great HSA and parental involvement,great afterschool program and just wonderful teachers and support staff all around. go Eaton!
Eaton has made both of my boys successful in learning - they both love school.
This is a truly diverse school, with an exciting new focus on world cultures. Four-year-olds learning Chinese...amazing! The Principal, teachers and parents are extraordinarily dedicated to helping every child grow and thrive.
We love the diversity, active parent involvement, the teachers, and the principal. So far, my child has thrived and been very happy.
We love the diversity of the school and the teachers and principal.
It provides exellent programs for kids. Teachers and staff are very professional. Its a Unique Elementary school in DC.
We love John Eaton because of the teachers, principal, administrative staff, JEAP program and staff, and the wonderful parents. Everyone seems truly dedicated to the children and to creating a safe and fun learning environment.
Terrific group of very dedicated staff and parents
My grandson Nilo attends and loves the school, so I support it.
When my child's Pre-K school was closed at the end of his first year, I looked into private schools and was informed about this little treasure called John Eaton. I have to say that in hindsight, my son's school closure has been the best thing that has happened to us because he is now truly a part of a 'COMMUNITY' that really encourages education through the best channels possible. While the first year of my son's school life was very different, I know that we have found an education home for him and one that seeks to ensure that he receives the best education possible in order to ensure that he continues to grow academically. The things that he took away in his first year (now in his second) are priceless and it is truly an atmosphere where we all work together to ensure our students have the best!
Eaton is a great school! It's led by a great principal who is very thoughtful and caring. The staff, parents and community do an excellent job of providing a wonderful learning environment that is challenging and fun.
Committed and creative teachers, a principal who celebrates the teachers and students while always trying to improve the school, a student body diverse in every way imaginable, and a supportive and active school community.
Diversity of student body and teachers, caring staff (principal and teachers) who are dedicated to students.
**** This is an excellenbt urban elementary school. A dedicated group of teachers and a superb principal, with a diverse and caring set of families, make this school a real gem in NW DC. We have a number of international families here, and a brand new, beautifully landscaped playground area.

Tag: Social Security Saver than you thought
Social Security More Secure Than You Might Believe
- 8:53 pm Tuesday, July 17th, 2012 by Dian Vujovich
Fear. When it comes to money, anyone looking for a way to manipulate or motivate only has to push a person's fear button. We've all got that button and it gets pushed a lot whether we're consciously aware of it or not.
Take Social Security for instance. Want to scare the bejesus out of someone —- multimillionaire or food stamp recipient—-just tell him or her that his or her Social Security checks won't be forthcoming. Or, as the author of a recent Morningstar story wrote, the program is going bankrupt, is a Ponzi scheme and that it pays generous benefits.

Dean Foods in settlement talks with SEC
May 12, 2004
According to Reuters, dairy processor Dean Foods Co., and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) are in settlement talks of an investigation into Dean''s dealings with bankrupt food distributor Fleming Cos., the company said. In a quarterly regulatory report filed on Monday, Dean said it does not expect either the probe or the settlement to have "a material adverse impact on our company." Dallas-based Dean is one of several U.S. food companies that received notices late last year from the SEC, known as "Wells Notices," regarding allegations that they helped Fleming inflate its revenue. According to the notices, employees at Dean, Kraft Foods Inc. and PepsiCo Inc. unit Frito-Lay signed documents that allowed Fleming to book revenue as current income rather than as deferred revenue to be recognized in future periods. Dean has said the payments in question totaled $2.7 million and were expensed by the company when they were made in the second and third quarters of 2002. Fleming, which was once the leading U.S. grocery distributor, is being investigated by the SEC for a host of issues, including its vendor trade practices, accounting for some sales transactions, and its presentation of earnings.

Against all odds, the Utah Jazz embarked on a furious rally in an attempt to keep their season alive in the fourth quarter of Game 4 of their 2012 NBA Playoffs first-round series against the San Antonio Spurs. Down 21 points with just over six minutes left, the Jazz went on a 19-2 run, cutting the Spurs' lead to four with 49 seconds left. What followed was a particularly depressing way to end a run.
Here's video of the whole sequence.
First, the Jazz play awful defense, but catch a huuuuuuuugge break when Tony Parker's wide-open layup somehow doesn't fall. Then, the Jazz race the ball back up the court and have an opening for a Devin Harris three-pointer. The problem? Paul Millsap's pass is deflected away, and Manu Ginobili escapes with an uncontested layup to seal the series.
The Jazz have nothing to be ashamed of for their season. That ending just really hurts.

The Droid Guy reports that he has heard from two Verizon sources that Google Search will be dropped from future Verizon phones, and Bing will be offered in its place.
There's some backup to that, because Verizon's Samsung Fascinate has dumped Google Search for Bing. And it's not just search that has been dumped in favor of Microsoft --- so have other services such as Google Maps.More troublesome for Google is that you can't change the default from Bing to Google Search --- Bing appears to be baked into the firmware. Fellow Computerworld blogger JR Raphael notes that no matter what you do, when you press the Search key on the Fascinate, you'll launch Bing. He writes:
Verizon has adjusted the Fascinate so that it's impossible to change the default search engine away from Bing (at least, without performing some advanced and potentially warranty-voiding hacks). The carrier even appears to have gone as far as to hide the downloadable Google Search app from the Android Market.Given that, most users of Fascinate will use Bing in lieu of Google. Multiply that number by all future users of Verizon Android phones, and it adds up to plenty of money, if the rumored Verizon-Bing deal is true.
Where Verizon goes, other wireless providers may follow, which could compound the problem. That could leave Google in the position of spending significant amounts of money for Android development, while Microsoft reaps a significant portion of the revenue generated by Android phones.
There's no doubt that if Bing does become the default search for Verizon's future Android phones, Microsoft will pay through the nose for it. Google can always try to outbid Microsoft to make Google the default search for other providers, and eventually for Verizon as well. That would mean that Google would have to pay double --- once for development of Android, and second to have Google as the default search. So either way, Google loses.

PENDLETON, Ind. — Many of the teams that competed in Tuesday's Pendleton Heights boys cross country sectional meet battled each other on the same course seven weeks prior.
That day, Pendleton Heights bested Mount Vernon, but the most recent round went to the Marauders who captured the sectional title by 12 points over the Arabians.
"It is good to look at," Pendleton Heights coach Alan Holden said of hosting a regular season meet with teams the Arabians will face in postseason tournaments. "It is a good key. Mt. Vernon is always our opponent, and that is who we have to look at all the time. That is who we have been fighting for the last couple of years."
Mount Vernon tallied 44 points and Pendleton Heights 56.
Much like Pendleton's girls, the boys team relied on youth to propel the Arabians. Three of their top four finishers are sophomores. The other is Parker Jones, who is a freshman.
"Try to go out there and get Mount Vernon," Jones said of his strategy. "Just run as fast as you can. For some people it is to keep a pace, but my philosophy is to just to go out there and give it your all."
Twin brothers Tyler and Tony Flood to give the Arabians three in the top 10 joining Jones. Tyler took second with a time of 17 minutes, 11.06 seconds, and Tony crossed the finish line in 17:24.01 for fifth place.
The difference between Pendleton Heights earning a sectional title and being the runner-up team was Mt. Vernon having its third, fourth and fifth runners place 12th, 13th and 14th compared to the Arabians taking seventh, 19th and 23rd.
"We were a little short today," Holden said. "(Eli Young) was not able to run today. We thought it would be better for him to run in the regional. So we kept him out because of an ankle injury."

In his first TOH Sunday domestic/international box-office report, ex-Variety numbers analyst Anthony D'Alessandro checks in with the studios behind this weekend's b.o. juggernaut, led by Disney's Alice in Wonderland---which proves yet again why studio marketers keep chasing the perfect match: branded family title + proven visual master + global movie star=blockbuster.
Disney execs had every reason to be grinning like Cheshire Cats Sunday morning as Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland broke box-office records, most prominently, the highest non-sequel domestic opening ever, surpassing such superhero summer bows as 2002's Spider-Man ($114.8 million) and 2008's Iron Man's $102.1 million gross. Mushrooming a colossal $116.3 million at 3,728 venues, Alice easily benefited from its 3D sites, earning record highs for the format in its 2,063 locales and 180 IMAX hubs. 65% of Alice's dough stemmed from 3D situations. Worldwide, Alice consumed $210.3 million.
For Alice to earn the best pre-summer bow, particularly in early March, is quite a feat. Typically R-rated films such as 300 ($70.9 million) and Watchmen ($55.2 million) excel during this part of the month, with distributors saving family titles for the mid-to-late part of the session.
On Tim Burton's resume, Alice easily marks a career high, outdistancing his previous best bow, 2001's Planet of the Apes, which generated $68.5 million. Alice marks the second biggest opening for Disney and studio star Johnny Depp, who both share the same No. 1 record opening weekend for 2006's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest ($135.6 million).
Touting an estimated budget of $200 million, Alice's first weekend comes as a sigh of relief for Disney which began promoting the film late last summer with sneak preview photos online of the film and a trailer attached to G Force. "We knew from our midnight shows on opening day that this film's audience was as broad as we expected, literally ranging from ages five through 96," said Disney distribution president Chuck Viane about Alice's four-quadrant appeal.
As far as winter and March records -- Alice blew them away like a caterpillar's hookah smoke rings. The previous first quarter three-day high belonged to Newmarket's Passion of the Christ, which minted $83.8 million during an Oscar ceremony weekend in 2004. And while the prevailing notion is that the box office takes a slight hit on Sunday during Oscar weekend, Alice may have nothing to worry about, given the strength of PG titles during matinee times and the fact that a bulk of any film's money is made on Friday and Saturday. "My opinion is that people will make time to do both," said Viane on Alice versus the Oscar ceremony.
Queuing up behind Alice in spots two through four on the box office chart were a string of R-rated adult titles, led by Overture Films' cop thriller Brooklyn's Finest with $13.5 million. Though Brooklyn ranks in the middle opening range of Antoine Fuqua's cop thrillers, the film repped Overture's fourth straight successful opening. "Going this weekend with Alice, a PG-rated fantasy, in the marketplace gave us a successful opportunity to counterprogram with an interesting R-rated adult film," said Overture's executive vice president of theatrical distribution Kyle Davies, "It paid off."
The film, which stars Richard Gere, Don Cheadle and Ethan Hawke was initially acquired by Senator at Sundance 2009 for about $5 million. When that company was unable to get the P&A together to release the title, the rights to Brooklyn become available again and Overture snapped the film up for $2 million back in September. Meanwhile, Warner Bros.' Bruce Willis-Tracey Morgan comedy Cop Out became director Kevin Smith's highest-grossing film ever with an estimated take of $32.4 million, besting his previous 2008 credit Zack and Miri Make a Porno ($31.5 million).
Retaining 30% of its 3D locales (661 sites) due to the entry of Alice in the marketplace, Avatar remained buoyant in the top five, easing one notch down from its standing last weekend with $7.7 million. Avatar ranked sixth on Friday and out-pegged Overture's The Crazies for the fifth spot. Audiences looking to check out other Oscar nominees prior to the award ceremony flocked to Fox Searchlight's Crazy Heart which saw a 31% surge from last weekend with $3.35 million.
Here are the weekend's top ten films:
1. Alice in Wonderland (Disney): $116.3 million in its first weekend at 3,728 theaters. $31,196 theater average. Domestic total: $116.3 million.
2. Brooklyn's Finest (Overture): $13.5 million in its first weekend at 1,936 theaters. $6,973 theater average. Domestic total: $13.5 million.
3. Shutter Island (Paramount): $13.3 million, down 40% in its third weekend at 3,178 theaters, theater average $4,185. Domestic total: $95.8 million.
4. Cop Out (Warner Bros.): $9.1 million, down 50% in its second weekend at 3,150 theaters. $2,903 theater average. Domestic total: $32.4 million.
5. Avatar (Fox): $7.7 million, down 45% in its 12th weekend at 2,163 theaters. $3,560 theater average. Domestic total: $720.2 million.
6. The Crazies (Overture): $7.0 million, down 58% in its second weekend at 2,479 theaters. $2,830 theater average. Domestic total: $27.4 million.
7. Percy Jackson & the Olympians... (Fox): $5.1 million down 48% in its fourth weekend at 2,994 theaters. $1,703 theater average. Domestic total: $78 million.
8. Valentine's Day (Warner Bros./New Line): $4.3 million, down 53% in its fourth weekend at 3,040 theaters. $1,405 theater average. Domestic total: $106.4 million.
9. Crazy Heart (Fox Searchlight): $3.35 million, up 31% in its 12th weekend at 1,274 theaters. Theater average $2,630. Domestic total: $29.6 million.
10. Dear John (Sony/Screen Gems/Relativity): $2.85 million, down 43% in its fifth weekend at 2,496 theaters. $1,142 theater average. Domestic total: $76.7 million.

What happened to Disney? Tim Burton's Alice In Wonderland does not compare to the original animation. I remember when I was a child I would watch films like The Jungle Book and 101 Dalmatians and be amazed! Now, Disney has gone downhill and its films seem to be getting worse and worse as time goes by. If you ask me, many kids websites like Disney's should not be listed on the top category of sites. Is it time for us to realize that Disney is not really what it used to be and in fact it now scraping the barrel of entertainment?

Spider-Man grossed $114 million in 2002, which was the previous high for a non-sequel prior to today.

With NFL teams stuck in limbo thanks to the lockout, we are looking at where teams stand as they await the opening of the 2011 league year. Today, we take a look at the Falcons.
Top three story lines
1. The Falcons were knocked out of the 2010 playoffs in a blowout loss to the Packers at home. They didn't look like a team on the verge of a title that January night. With the memory of that loss fresh in his mind, GM Thomas Dimitroff sensed that it was time to be bold, and he received owner Arthur Blank's blessing to be bold. Dimitroff became the talk of draft weekend when he traded five draft picks to move up 21 spots in the first round of the draft to land WR Julio Jones sixth overall. It was a missing piece the Falcons felt they had to have. They sacrificed their first-round pick in 2012, among other draft choices, to get him, though, and it's a move that could haunt them if they don't get over the hump and into the Super Bowl this season. Acquiring Jones, a potential perennial Pro Bowler, gives the offense an element it lacked last year — a weapon at receiver not named Roddy White — and expectations are high for him.
2. A pass-rushing defensive end to play opposite John Abraham is one of Atlanta's top needs, but the Falcons didn't spend a pick on a D-linemen until they drafted DE Cliff Matthews in the seventh round. Can the pass rush improve without any major additions to the defensive line? It's possible if third-year veteran DT Peria Jerry, a first-round pick in 2009, has a breakout year. There is talk, however, that the Falcons will pursue signing DE Ray Edwards, one of the Vikings' free agents. He could be a restricted free agent if the NFL operates under the same free-agency rules that it did in the previous two seasons.
3. We don't know which players will be unrestricted free agents just yet as the lockout lingers on, but if players with four years of experience or more allowed to become unrestricted, the Falcons could have some difficult decisions to make on the offensive line. Three of the five starters — OLG Justin Blalock, ORG Harvey Dahl and ORT Tyson Clabo — from last season have expiring contracts. Clabo, who is heading into his seventh season, is guaranteed to be unrestricted and will generate interest on the open market coming off his first Pro Bowl nod. Blalock and Dahl are in limbo. Atlanta has some young, but inexperienced prospects that could slide in to replace the veterans, but their transition to starting roles could leave QB Matt Ryan in danger.
2011 free-agency — whenever that happens
Unsigned players: OG Justin Blalock (4), PK Matt Bryant (8), OT Tyson Clabo (7), OG Harvey Dahl (5), WR Brian Finneran (11), CB Brent Grimes (3), DT Thomas Johnson (4), P Michael Koenen (6), OLB Stephen Nicholas (4), RB Jerious Norwood (5), OLB Mike Peterson (12), RB Jason Snelling (4), DT Vance Walker (2), WR Eric Weems (3), CB Brian Williams (9), QB John Parker Wilson (2). (Editor's note: The number after a players' name is his years of service in the league. If the NFL decides to go with free agency under the same rules as used in 2010, then a player would become a restricted free agent after three years and an unrestricted free agent after six years.)
Analysis: The Falcons were as aggressive as any team in the draft, and they could continue making it clear that they're going for it all if and when free agency begins. Vikings DE Ray Edwards has already been mentioned as a potential target for them, and he would be a nice, albeit expensive, fit. The Vikings have placed a first-round tender on him. The other priority will be keeping the offensive line intact. That could be a challenge, considering OLG Justin Blalock, ORG Harvey Dahl and ORT Tyson Clabo all have expiring contracts. Clabo will definitely be unrestricted and appears the most likely to move on of the three. Atlanta seems set to part ways with P Michael Koenen, RB Jerious Norwood and CB Brian Williams.
2011 rookie class
First-round WR Julio Jones (No. 6 overall) — Jones looks, plays and works like a prospect that will become a No. 1 receiver some day, but he's going to complement Roddy White initially. The Falcons are counting on him to make their offense more explosive. He should start from Day One.
Third-round SLB Akeem Dent (No. 91 overall) — Versatile enough to back up at all three linebacker positions, he might fit best on the strong side as a run-stuffer. Dent is strong and will contribute immediately on special teams.
Fifth-round RB Jacquizz Rodgers (No. 145 overall) — The Falcons continued in their quest to become more dynamic on offense by adding a change-of-pace back in Rodgers, who is expected to replace free agent Jerious Norwood. He runs with passion and is very elusive.
Sixth-round PK-P Matt Bosher (No. 192 overall) — Bosher will likely take over for Michael Koenen, a free agent, as the punter and kickoff specialist. He plays with poise and has experience punting, placekicking and kicking off.
Seventh-round OG Andrew Jackson (No. 210 overall) — Atlanta likes scrappy, tough-minded players up front, and Jackson fits the bill. He'll serve as a backup at both guard spots.
Seventh-round DE Cliff Matthews (No. 230 overall) — GM Thomas Dimitroff said the Falcons will need to refine Matthews' pass-rush moves, but they like his relentlessness. He has a motor that doesn't quit. Matthews will need to add strength in the weight room.
Lockout fallout: How impacted will the Falcons be by the work stoppage?
On a scale from 1 to 10 (with 10 being the most significantly impacted), the Falcons rate a three. This isn't an old team, but there is good veteran leadership on both sides of the ball and they've had the same coordinators since head coach Mike Smith took over in 2008. There's consistency throughout the coaching staff — the only significant change is Bob Bratkowski, who replaces Bill Musgrave as quarterbacks coach — and there shouldn't be many starting jobs up for grabs. There is no doubt that Matt Ryan would like to start getting to know Julio Jones sooner rather than later, though, and the two would benefit from working together in structured practice sessions.
