Column: Armstrong and Te'o, and lies and liars
Saturday - 1/19/2013, 5:27pm EST
By TIM DAHLBERG
AP Sports Columnist
(AP) - The verdict is finally in on Lance Armstrong, and it's worse than anyone thought.
His appearance with Oprah was a disaster in so many ways that you wonder how he ever thought she would be the first step on his path to salvation. Armstrong went before her to save his skin and keep a few of his millions, only to be further exposed as a narcissistic, calculating, bike riding sorry excuse for a human being.
Not only was he _ and seemingly still is _ a bald faced liar, but also a cold fish who thought nothing of crushing his victims, then dancing on the remains. Even Oprah couldn't humanize him, and when the two-night televised extravaganza was mercifully over, the only logical conclusion is that he is a man with little redeeming value, cancer survivor and yellow wristbands notwithstanding.
"I don't like that guy," Armstrong said at one point about himself, a feeling shared by almost anyone who watched.
The verdict is still out on Manti Te'o, who in just the space of a few hours went from a Heisman-contending star linebacker to an Internet punch line. Today's news cycle is so swift that the damage was already done by the time Te'o sat down for a lengthy interview Friday night to paint himself as a victim of a bizarrely cruel hoax.
The online speculation before that was that Te'o might have invented a dead girlfriend as part of a campaign to win the Heisman. The reality seems to be that he was simply incredibly naive and caught up in something he couldn't somehow bring himself to understand.
I mean, we've all had our imaginary playmates, but for most of us we quit talking to them about the age of 8. We certainly didn't stay up all night for weeks at a time listening to them breathe on the phone.
Te'o is the one who should be on Oprah for some counseling and a group hug. Imagine the ratings coup when the tough linebacker with the trusting face confesses his vulnerabilities in a teary prime-time special.
No one wants to hug Armstrong, that's for sure. Not even Oprah, though she did appear concerned when he told her he lost $75 million on one day when all his sponsors bailed when the truth they surely already knew became public fodder. Predictably, though, Oprah didn't follow up on how many millions Armstrong still has in the bank _ some estimate his accounts still hold $100 million, all funded by his many lies.
Meanwhile, the verdict on those of us who report all of this is mixed.
Are we all enablers, so eager to beat the next guy on a story that we simply accept the most improbable claims as fact? Armstrong won seven Tour de France titles while racing against riders who were doped and we were supposed to believe he wasn't? Many writers overlooked that, just like they ignored pesky details about Te'o's dead girlfriend, such as the fact there was no record anywhere that Lennay Kekua existed, died, or was injured in a terrible car accident.
Then there's the way we're caught up in a world of instant news that is consumed so vociferously that we can barely keep up trying to feed the beast.
Consider this about the way the Te'o story evolved. After the irreverent _ and highly entertaining at times _ website Deadspin broke the story about his imaginary friend, there followed a media orgy of trying to first make sense of the story and then advance it. The Notre Dame athletic director helped out by crying at his news conference defending Te'o, providing even more fodder
This was followed Friday with another breathless scoop _ the fake girlfriend told Te'o that she had to fake being dead because some fake drug dealers were out looking for her.
By then things had gotten so bizarre that the player who beat Te'o out for the Heisman weighed in on it. Johnny Football, the Texas A&M quarterback also known as Johnny Manziel, declared that even his "mind was blown."
All along, productivity in offices around the country slowed to a crawl as jokes were traded across Twitter and Facebook about fake dead girlfriends. Things went so far that a minor league baseball team declared a promotion day in honor or Te'o, with an offer of a fake bobblehead of the girlfriend and empty seats next to paying customers for their imaginary friends.

The nation's largest tax preparing service, H&R Block has taken up a lawsuit against HSBC bank USA over the latter's alleged backing out of funding tax refund loans given out by H&R. The loans, known as Refund Anticipated Loans (RAL), are due to expire next year. This comes on the back of the new IRS move announced in August to discontinue the practice of disclosing Taxpayer Debt Information (or tax indicators) which gives details of how much each taxpayer is entitled to receive in terms of refunds against what he or she owes in back taxes, child support and student loans. The ten-year practice of the IRS to divulge tax indicators will end soon and without these indicators, banks who underwrite the loans fnd it diffcult to assess the loan-worthiness of the borrowers.
With funds from banks getting scarce and the diffculty in getting underwriting, the cost of the high-interest RALs will increase when the new tax season begins in January. Getting approval for RALs is also expected to become more diffcult. Typically, RALs are used by taxpayers from the lower-income group who cannot obtain credit from other sources.

Tokarski performed well after replacing division rival Chet Pickard at the halfway point of the game. He would allow John Tavares' second and third goals of the game.
Tyrell lined up on a checking unit with big Rimouski center Patrice Cormier (New Jersey) and Atlanta prospect Angelo Esposito. Known as a scorer for the Montreal Juniors, TSN reported Esposito was being tried in a two-way role next to shut-down expert Cormier and the defensive savvy Tyrell.

New 'Kholat' Footage Tours a Ghost Town
The makers of Kholat have released some new footage from the upcoming game that gives us a peaceful walking tour of one of its environments. Seen in the video below is Ivdel — an actual town in Russia — which will serve as one of the first places we visit in the game.
Ivdel looks like a peaceful enough place, but you can be sure it's hiding something sinister. Just look at that rickety fence. Nothing good happens in a town with a fence like that. At the very least we're looking at the possibility of injuries caused by stray nails. Sinister nails.
In related news, Kholat is one of a growing number of promising indie horror games that are coming later this year. You can head over here for more of them.
Watch Jason Pop a Guy's Head Off in 'Mortal Kombat X'
Jason Voorhees has finally made his way to Mortal Kombat X. If you purchased the game's Kombat Pack, he's available now, patiently waiting for you to put him to good use. The rest of you will need to wait until May 12 to drop $7.99 to unlock him and the Horror Pack, or $4.99 just for him.
I've spent some time with him, and for the most part, I think he's a solid addition to the roster. That's not to say that his portrayal isn't without its issues, but if you've been watching him hack up horny teens as long as I have, or longer, than I don't think he'll disappoint. He's fun to play as, but as entertaining as it is watching him literally Hulk someone to pieces, I wish NetherRealm would've paired him with a map set in Camp Crystal Lake. It feels like a missed opportunity.
Because we gorehounds are an insatiable bunch, YouTuber MKIceAndFire has gone and compiled every one of Jason's finishing moves into one extremely gory video. My favorite part is when he tackles his opponent so hard his head flies off. I need to make that my email signature, pronto.
All Nazis Must Die in 'Wolfenstein: The Old Blood'
In this trailer for Wolfenstein: The Old Blood, a standalone expansion for The New Order, we learn that evil is immortal, while Nazis definitely aren't. The expansion is out now on PC, PS4 and Xbox One, and while you don't need the main game to play it, I still recommend you check it out if you haven't already. It's better than you might think.
In The Old Blood, B.J. Blazkowicz is tasked with taking out yet another Nazi war machine. This time however, zombies are involved.
There's No Getting Rid of This 'Babadook'
I recently dove into The Babadook for a second time, since it was just sitting there in my Netflix queue, calling out to me like some sort of hellish Siren. This is a movie that's stuck with me not just because of its effective use of atmosphere, or how genuinely frightening it often is. In the end, it's a story about two damaged, grieving people who are tied together by blood, a mutual loss and eventually, a mutual enemy.
There are few horror movie villains who are worth paying tribute to through cosplay more than the Babadook. He's a perfect for it, with his imposing form, pale face and freakishly long hands. I think this cosplayer nailed all of the above, but I'll let you decide.
'Goat Simulator' Pokes Fun at Survival Games With 'GoatZ'
Because an open-world game where you play as a goat that's able to manipulate time and space in hilarious ways isn't quite strange enough, this week, Goat Simulator will become even stranger.
The purposeful glitch-fest will be getting some paid DLC tomorrow with the arrival of GoatZ. For $4.99, you can visit a new world that's been overrun by hordes of the buggy undead. The DLC also introduces six craftable weapons and a survival mechanic that involves your needing to eat every five minutes, because DayZ.
GoatZ releases on May 7 for PC, Mac and Linux. It will also be available on iOS and Android for the same price, but as a standalone app. No word on a console release.
'PT' Has Been Completely Removed From PSN: Cannot Be Redownloaded
Bad news for everyone who deleted PT from the PS4 and figured they could always redownload it. According to Kotaku, the demo has been completely wiped from the PSN servers, meaning that even if you had it before you'll never be able to get it again. This goes against the standard scenario on the PSN, where users could always, although not anymore, redownload a game they had purchased or put on their system.
This update comes after the announcement that Silent Hills, which PT turned out to be a teaser for, was cancelled.
Bottom line: If you have PT on your PS4, don't ever delete it if you have the slightest thought that you'll want to replay it.

Find Some Magic in this Sneak Peek of Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
British series "Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell" still doesn't have a firm release date on BBC America other than "sometime this summer," but it does have a clip to share so settle in for a sneak peek of Honeyfoot (Brian Pettifer) and Segundus (Edward Hogg) of the York Society of Magicians visiting the mysterious recluse Mr Norrell in search of answers as to why magic is no longer practiced in England.
The seven-part series was adapted from Susanna Clarke's bestselling novel by Peter Harness ("Wallander," Is Anybody There?) and stars Olivier Award-winning Bertie Carvel and Eddie Marsan, who take on the magical roles of Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, respectively. Other cast members include Alice Englert, Marc Warren, Samuel West, and Charlotte Riley.
The series is directed by Toby Haynes, and the producer is Nick Hirschkorn. It is produced by Cuba Pictures for BBC One and co-produced with BBC America, in association with Feel Films, Far Moor, Screen Yorkshire, and Bell Media's Space. It will be distributed by Endemol Worldwide Distribution.
Set at the beginning of the 19th century, England no longer believes in practical magic. The reclusive Mr Norrell (Marsan) of Hurtfew Abbey stuns the city of York when he causes the statues of York Cathedral to speak and move. With a little persuasion and help from his man of business, Childermass (Enzo Cilenti), he goes to London to help the government in the war against Napoleon. It is there Norrell summons a fairy (Warren) to bring Lady Pole (Englert) back from the dead, opening a whole can of worms…
Jonathan Strange (Carvel) is charming, rich, and arrogant. While trying to secure his beloved Arabella's (Riley) hand in marriage, he meets the magician of Threadneedle Street, Vinculus (Paul Kaye), who tells him he is destined to be a great magician. A shaken and disturbed Strange initially dismisses the claims, but intrigue overcomes; and in an attempt to find his occupation, he tries to practice magic…

Emaji Entertainment Reboots The Howling and Dee Snider's StrangeLand
Two popular horror flicks are getting the reboot treatment from Emaji Entertainment, which has announced its intentions to reboot both The Howling and the long awaited follow-up to Dee Snider's StrangeLand.
From the Press Releases:
Emaji, Inc., announced today that its entertainment division, Emaji Entertainment, has acquired the rights to reboot The Howling, the 1981 horror classic that to date has seen eight films released that have been based in part of the three novels written by Gary Brander. This is the first film production for the recently formed Emaji Entertainment, which is a division of Emaji, Inc. Emaji Entertainment plans to produce The Howling as the first in a series of films based upon well known film properties.
Additional details on the production and distribution of The Howling will be released as the film moves through the pre-production process.
The Howling was a 1981 werewolf-themed horror film directed by Joe Dante, who also directed Gremlins. Made for $1.5 million, the movie went on to gross $18 million in its initial theatrical release. Between 1985 and 2011 there were seven more Howling related films produced in the franchise, including Howling II in 1985, Howling III in 1987, Howling IV in 1988, Howling V in 1989, Howling VI in 1991, Howling: New Moon Rising in 1995, and The Howling: Reborn in 2011.
Emaji also announced today that Emaji Entertainment has acquired the rights to reboot Dee Snider's StrangeLand, the 1998 horror film written by and starring Snider, the frontman of heavy metal giant Twisted Sister.
Dee Snider's portrayal of Carlton Hendricks, aka Captain Howdy, in the original film created a character that has become a cult horror legend. Emaji Entertainment will accompany the singer-songwriter, screenwriter, radio personality, and actor back into the dark underground world of ritualistic body modification where victims are lured via an ever pervasive world of social media.
The 1998 soundtrack included an incredible array of bands – System of a Down, Sevendust, Soulfly, Slipknot, Kid Rock, Coal Chamber, Twisted Sister, Megadeth, Marilyn Manson, and Pantera – handpicked by Snider. "Music was intrinsic to me in the first one. We really tried to create the ultimate heavy soundtrack. Music will be important to me again for this film," adds Snider.
The project has the working title StrangeLand: Disciple and is the second film production announced by the company based on a well established horror property.
Additional details will be released as the film moves through production and towards release.

The Giant Spider Invasion Spins Its Web on Blu-ray This Summer
If you ever invite yours truly to a party and you're ready for me to hit the proverbial road, all you have to do is start playing a movie that prominently features spiders. I'll be out the door before you can properly pronounce "arachnophobia." Even something as inherently silly as Bill Rebane's 1975 cult flick The Giant Spider Invasion will scare the accidentally swallowed spider eggs outta me.
Since I love horror movies and adore being scared out of my wits, I'm obsessed with spider movies of all shapes and sizes. Naturally, as a B-movie fanatic, I was understandably thrilled that VCI Entertainment is unleashing The Giant Spider Invasion on Blu-ray this summer. Trust me: This flick is enjoyable even without the "Mystery Science Theater 3000″ commentary.
Unfamiliar with The Giant Spider Invasion? Here's a short synopsis:
Giant spiders from outer space begin to invade Earth when a huge black hole appears in a farmer's field outside a small town in Wisconsin. A NASA scientist deduces the invasion is the result of some sort of intergalactic gateway, as he devises a plan to stop the huge, hairy, creeping crawlers from devouring the local population.
Sure, the film is delightfully cheesy and totally far-fetched, but when your arachnophobia is almost completely unmanageable, even this sort of picture is enough to give you the heebie-jeebies. Fans of The Giant Spider Invasion can snag the three-disc Blu-ray set on June 15, 2015. The flick is packaged with a behind-the-scenes documentary, archival footage, and a CD featuring "The Giant Spider Invasion: The Musical." All for $24.99. Nerve pills not included.

Producer's Preview Goes Inside Supernatural Episode 10.21 – Dark Dynasty
We get that Sam's desperate and needs all the help he can get, yadda yadda, but longtime "Supernatural" fans are no doubt as anxious as we are for this season's interminable Mark of Cain storyline to wrap up already. Here's executive producer Jeremy Carver with an inside look at this week's Episode 10.21, "Dark Dynasty," which will hopefully start tying up some of Season 10's very loose ends.
"Supernatural" Episode 10.21 – "Dark Dynasty" (airs 5/6/15, 9PM)
THE WINCHESTERS MEET THE STYNES — Dean (Jensen Ackles) and Sam (Jared Padalecki) investigate a bizarre murder and realize the killer bears the same tattoo as those from the Styne family. Eldon Styne (guest star David Hoflin) attacks Dean, and a brutal fight ensues.
Meanwhile, Castiel (Misha Collins) acts as referee when Charlie (guest star Felicia Day) and Rowena (guest star Ruth Connell) are forced to work together on the Book of the Damned. Crowley (Mark Sheppard) discovers his mother is missing and knows she's up to something so he turns to an old enemy for help. Robert Singer directed this episode written by Eugenie Ross-Leming and Brad Buckner.

The Lady in Black Comes Haunting
Even though The Woman is the only darkly clad femme that I love, Phase 4 Films has released a new indie horror story entitled The Lady in Black, and she's ready to start haunting you immediately.
From the Press Release:
Writer-director Steve Spel's horror-thriller The Lady in Black is now available on DVD.
Nelson has vivid nightmares of a woman being gruesomely murdered. Soon he discovers that the murder he's witnessed is the beginning of a string of actual serial killings, all involving young women. To clear up this disturbing mystery, he pursues the serial killer to find out why the woman in black is haunting his nightmares.
"I was inspired to make a non-linear film that really puts the audience on the edge of their seats as they go through the twists and turns of this film. In writing the script, I wanted to make sure to keep the audience guessing and to avoid cliches and obvious revelations," says Spel.
Spel continues, "My goal is to tell a fresh and exciting thriller that is as visually stimulating as it is psychologically-provoking. No one is who they seem in this film, and the ending will be truly memorable. I wanted a hard-hitting film that was bent on realism and fantasy that plays on the mind. This film was made to be a psychological thriller and in its evolution became a detective's mystery pushed to the edge with blood and insanity."

Several Directors Being Considered For 'Spider-Man' Reboot
The superhero film genre is on fire these days, with each title released almost guaranteed to earn well into the hundreds of millions. That's why Marvel and Sony Pictures are pushing forward with a new Spider-Man series, one that will supposedly take place over three, maybe four movies (each covering a year of Peter Parker's high school), according to Deadline. But in order to make sure you've got a great series ahead of you, you need to make sure that the first one is a success. That's why the studios are carefully considering who should direct the film, searching for someone who can tell a, "…coming of age tale [that] is John Hughes humor and emotion, plus all the superhero stuff."
Here's who the studios are currently considering: Jonathan Levine, the man behind Warm Bodies; Ted Melfi the writer/director of St. Vincent; Pitch Perfect director Jason Moore; John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein of Vacation; and Jared Hess, who wrote and directed Napoleon Dynamite.
The role of Spider-Man has not been set but there is a serious possibility that it will be determined before a director is chosen as the character is set to appear in Captain America: Civil War, which comes out next year.
'A Babysitter's Guide To Monsters' Being Adapted For Film
Variety is reporting that the upcoming book trilogy A Babysitter's Guide To Monsters has already been snatched up by Walden Media and Montecito Pictures. The books will not be released until late 2016/early 2017.
Written by Joe Ballarini, the story focuses on a teen girl who is searching for the child she is babysitting, who has been kidnapped by monsters.
Ballarini also wrote the script for Lockdown at Franklin High, which is being produced by Michael Bay.
Two More Will Answer to the "Preacher"
Jamie Anne Allman (pictured above in "The Killing") and Derek Wilson (pictured below in "Rectify") have booked recurring roles on AMC drama pilot Preacher, based on Garth Ennis and Steve Dillon's cult 1990s comic, says Deadline.
The project, from Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg, Sony TV and AMC Studios, "centers on Jesse Custer (Dominic Cooper), a conflicted preacher in a small Texas town who merges with a creature that has escaped from heaven and develops the ability to make anyone do anything he says. Along with his ex-girlfriend, Tulip (Ruth Negga), and an Irish vampire named Cassidy (Joseph Gilgun), the three embark on a journey to literally find God (to make him answer for abandoning mankind)."
Allman will play Betsy Schenck, a meek wife who appears to suffer beatings by the hand of her husband, Donny. When the Preacher checks up on her, though, she tells a different story. Wilson is Donny Schenck, a Civil War re-enactor and abusive thug who gets into altercations with Jesse Custer (the Preacher) but nevertheless shows up to church on Sundays.
'Carnage Park' Hunts Down Cast
Ritual and Pod director Mickey Keating is taking on survival horror with Carnage Park, which is based on a shocking true story.
"After a bank heist goes awry, two criminals and their hostage flee deep into the wilderness only to find themselves in Carnage Park, a remote stretch of desert used by an unhinged ex-military sniper to recreate his own twisted war games."
Just ahead of Cannes the film's initial cast has been revealed, and includes horror fabs Ashley Bell (pictured; The Last Exorcism, The Last Exorcism II), Darby Stanchfield ("Scandal"), Pat Healy (pictured below; Cheap Thrills, The Innkeepers) and Alan Ruck (Ferris Bueller's Day)
"Carnage Park will be a nod to the mean and dirty crime films of the 1970s, and the intense, unflinching energy of the fight for survival films by directors like Boorman and Peckinpah," said Keating in the film's initial press release. "It's a harrowing story, set almost entirely during the day, against a blinding backdrop of the California desert."
"It's going to be a very vicious horror film set entirely during the day, in a cruel stretch of California desert," Keating told us in a previous exclusive interview. "It's my first period piece – set in 1978 – and it's about a botched bank heist that quickly spirals into a horrific fight for survival. It'll be a nod to the legendary Sam Peckinpah and his masterpiece The Getaway, the new French Extremism films of the 2000s, and The Most Dangerous Game…I'm very excited to make a cruel, pulpy horror film."
Shooting begins next week in Los Angeles.
New "Scream Queens" Teaser Asks You To "Dance With The Devil"
A new teaser for the FOX horror comedy series "Scream Queens" has been released and is available to see below. The clip is from the perspective of a woman walking home from a "killer kegger". The focus is her texting a friend, where she mentions that she's being followed by a person wearing a devil mask. The clip ends with a spray of blood and a reminder that Apple phones are prone to cracking when dropped.
"Scream Queens" stars Jamie Lee Curtis, Emma Roberts, Lea Michele, Oliver Hudson, Abigail Breslin, Keke Palmer, Skyler Samuels, Billie Lourd, Diego Boneta, Lucien Laviscount, and Glen Powell. It is being executively produced by Ryan Murphy (American Horror Story, Glee).
Keanu Reeves To Return In 'John Wick 2′
Variety is reporting that Lionsgate has confirmed that Keanu Reeves will be reprising his role in John Wick 2, the sequel to the hyperviolent action thriller about a retired hitman who comes out of retirement to take revenge on the men who killed his puppy, a gift from his late wife. David Leitch and Chad Stahelski are also set to return as directors with the script written by Derek Kolstad, who wrote the first.
No release date has been set but it's exciting to hear that we're getting a sequel. The original was a great return to what action movies were all about, which was gratuitous amounts of violence based off a razor thin plot. The film also boasted a fantastic kill count, with Wick offing 76 people in the course of 101 minutes.
Head below to see a breakdown of each kill.
The Transparent Woman Gets a Spicy New Trailer
Domiziano Crisopharo's homage to the masterpiece films of Mario Bava, Pupi Avati, Dario Argento, and Sergio Martino, The Transparent Woman, has gotten itself a brand new trailer; and we have it for you right here.
The Transparent Woman stars Italian erotic and pornographic actress Roberta Gemma and Arian Levannael (Hunt Angels, Poe 3 : Pieces of Eldritch).
Anna is a beautiful, fiercely independent blind woman. Due to financial problems her husband, Carl, had to sell the apartment they lived in. They move into an old house in a remote location surrounded by fields. Anna is not happy there and feels even more isolated as she is most of the time all alone… but eerie noises and strange facts lead her to think that someone is in the house too… or "something."
The post The Transparent Woman Gets a Spicy New Trailer appeared first on Dread Central.
Chiller Reveals "Slasher," 'Lifeforce' and 'Siren' (Based On the 'V/H/S' Segment "Amateur Night")
"I like you…"
On the heels of its most-watched original movie to date (Animal) and the SXSW 2015 premiere of its original movie The Boy, Chiller announces new original content for 2015 and 2016, including its first-ever original series, "Slasher," and two new original movies, Lifeforce and Siren.
In Siren, a bachelor party becomes a savage fight for survival when the groomsmen unwittingly unleash a fabled predator upon the festivities. Slated to premiere on Chiller in 2016, Siren, written by Ben Collins and Luke Piotrowski, is a non-foound-footage adaptation/spinoff to David Bruckner's short film "Amateur Night," one of the segments featured in the 2012 Sundance premiere of the anthology thriller V/H/S.
Chiller's first original series, "Slasher," follows the plight of a young woman who returns to the small town where she was born, only to find herself the centerpiece in a series of horrifying copycat murders – based on the widely-known, grisly killings of her parents. The eight-part season serves as the first instalment of an anthology series, where each season exists as a self-contained hybrid of the slasher subgenre of horror films and the traditional murder mystery. Over the course of the "Slasher" series, a variety of mysteries will unfold, building towards a climactic finale.
Developed and produced by Shaftesbury in association with Chiller and Super Channel and distributed by Content, "Slasher" is written and created by Aaron Martin ("Killjoys," "Degrassi: The Next Generation") and directed by Craig David Wallace ("Todd and the Book of Pure Evil"). Christina Jennings and Scott Garvie are executive producers. Funded with the participation of the COGECO Program Development and Northern Ontario Heritage Funds, Slasher will commence production in Sudbury this summer. Canadian broadcaster is Super Channel. "Slasher" will premiere on Chiller in late 2015.
Lifeforce, a reimagining of the 1985 classic film (based on Colin Wilson's novel "The Space Vampires"), follows a group of astronauts who encounter a derelict alien spacecraft hiding an ancient secret. At the vessel, the explorers discover three perfect humanoids who are returned to Earth… and unleash a terrible plague upon the planet. The original film, starring Steve Railsback, Patrick Stewart and Mathilda May, was directed by Tobe Hooper. Lifeforce will premiere on Chiller in late 2015.
Steve B. Harris (Friday the 13th, Amityville: The Awakening) will produce for Diversion3 (www.diversion3.com) along with Mark Altman (Castle, Necessary Roughness) Mark Gottwald (DOA: Dead or Alive) and David E. Williams (Femme Fatales) from a story by Harris, Altman and Steve Kriozere (NCIS, Castle).

First off I'm not completely sure what the Titans mascot is.
I love the announcer's reaction: "That's not right"
Seriously isn't there a little kid or two at the game wondering why the mascot just ate the pretty blonde girl. I bet that was an interesting ride home for those parents.

ATKINSON GRADUATE SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT VENTURE INVESTING– AGSM 6X1 / 6X2 Robert Wiltbank firstname.lastname@example.com C:(503) 715-7894 I am not here to teach, I am here to help you learn. Are you here to learn? This course is dedicated entirely to hands on learning through the process of actually financing new ventures. This includes the process from sourcing deals, to evaluating deals, and closing deals. I will do everything in my power to help you learn, and to encourage you to learn even more. You will learn by doing in this course. Do, Ask, Try. You will feel nervous and uncomfortable doing things you're not quite sure how to do. The process: The class meets weekly to bring you up to speed on the process and analysis involved in evaluating opportunity. This will also involve reporting on and refining due diligence for investments actively being considered. In addition, you will be assigned to be a member in an angel investor group in the Northwest and will be responsible for attending those meetings, interfacing with the other investors and working with the entrepreneurs that pitch to those groups. Finally, we will also work on research projects relating to venture capital and angel investing and entrepreneurship. Readings: My book Effectual Entrepreneurship will be the primary text that we work from, in addition to articles related to business model design, valuation, investor terminology, etc. Learning Objectives: 1. Master the analysis of the components of a new venture within a frame of real world perspective they plausibly perform in different settings. 2. Identify & Create different ways of pursuing the objectives of new ventures and of using their capabilities toward different objectives. 3. Extrapolate these ideas into a strategic path and evaluate that path 4. Refine your ability to communicate positive and negative ideas with others, persuasively make the case with entrepreneurs and co-investors for or against investing. 5. Understand the Macro, Legal and Government issues central to the new venture world. Grading: Self Evaluation: You will be involved in your own evaluation, every month you will submit a 1-2 page report evaluating your progress on each of those 5 learning objectives. I will look for you to evaluate your active involvement in the projects and groups as well as your progress in understanding the concepts of the course. These will make up 10% of your grade. Short Essay Exams: Focus on objectives 1 & 2 Short essay exams will randomly and repeatedly be taken during classes. You will be presented with scenarios from various companies and assigned particularly challenges for analyzing the components, evaluating their prospects/flaws/strengths, and creating attractive alternative paths forward. These exams will be worth 30% of your grade. Investment Theses: Focus on objectives 3 & 4 For each company that you progress with, you will need to produce an investment thesis. We will review these in detail, practice them, and re work them regularly. They will identify the rationale for the value creating potential of the ventures over the long run, how investors benefit from investing, the key components of the venture, and the strategic steps involved in reaching success. The best of your investment theses will be worth 30% of your grade. Analysis and Report: Focus on 5 In addition to the investment work, you will also work with me or others on analyzing data relevant to entrepreneurs, VC & angel investors, economic development, and/or organizations creating new endeavors. For example, the role of startups on creating jobs, the impact of tax policy on new venture formation, the activity levels of venture capital firms by geography, and the like. You will be expected to contribute to the analysis and the write up of a practitioner oriented report relating what we find. This will be worth 20% of your grade. External Recommendation: Focus on 1-5 In order to get an external perspective on your progress, you will be asked to provide a contact or two in the group to which you are assigned or from among the entrepreneurs with whom you interacted. I can either talk with these people directly, or you can ask them to provide a letter which speaks to their interactions with you and provides feedback on your performance against these learning objectives. You will complement this with your reflection on this feedback. This will be worth 10% of your grade. Course policies: Self motivated hard word is the rule of the day. Excuses are irrelevant. Don't pass off the work of others as your own. Always be honest. We will handle A LOT of private information from private companies. We will discuss real people in evaluative ways. We will be actively reaching out to people to learn more. All of these interactions must respect privacy and be professional. When you're not sure if something is appropriate, assume that it's not and keep it to yourself while you and I talk it through. I am always reachable, contact me anytime you are working on something and need assistance. ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS

Jill Duggar Is Engaged
April 9th, 2014
Jill Duggar, Derick Dillard
The Duggar clan keeps getting bigger! Jill Duggar is engaged to Derick Dillard, People reports.
Dillard, 25, is an accountant who's been courting the 19 Kids and Counting star since November.
"I am so happy," Duggar, 22, said. "Our story is so very unique. The first time we talked, he was in Japan, we met in Nepal, he spent time in India and Israel and then came back to Arkansas where he met my family. We have a very international story even though we live so close."
Bubble Shows: Which will survive?
Now that they're engaged, Duggar and Dillard have agreed to start holding hands, but any other physical contact will wait until their wedding day. "I feel like I'm dreaming," Dillard said. "It was great to grab her hand for the first time."
Duggar's younger sister Jessa, 21, also recently entered a courtship with Ben Seewald, 18.

When producers Jasper and Big Reese chopped up an old Biz Markie sample and created Lloyd's current single, Girls Around the World, it was only a matter of time before the industry's best and brightest hopped aboard. Thus, in honor of Tuesday's drop date for the Atlanta-born singer's new album, Lessons In Love, it made sense for the Booth to unveil the remix. Headed by DJ Khaled (is a remix unofficial unless he jumps on or something?), Lloyd's smooth, Michael-esque vocals fall on either side of guest spots from The Game, T.I., Yung Joc, Rick Ross, Ace Hood, Young Dro, Pitbull and Busta Rhymes. What, you didn't think R&B singers could get their remix cake up too?
Note: The streaming of "Girls Around the World (Remix)" has temporarily been suspended.

WellPoint, AT&T, Altria Step Up Donations to Sway State Races
Sept. 30 (Bloomberg) -- WellPoint Inc. has given $842,000 to a group backing Republicans running for statewide offices this year, almost as much as the company has donated to candidates in U.S. congressional elections.
The contributions by the nation's largest health insurer underline the attention that companies are giving to state races, even as those campaigns are overshadowed by federal elections that will determine which party controls Congress.
WellPoint, AT&T Inc. and Altria Group Inc. are among those that have helped Republican committees raise more money for state elections than their Democratic counterparts. At stake is the makeup of legislatures that will redraw congressional districts next year and decide on issues such as whether to chip away at the nation's new health-care law.
"The election this time has a more important impact" than in past years, said Paul Smith, a congressional redistricting expert with the law firm of Jenner & Block LLP in Washington. "And it will be multiplied over future elections" as redistricting is used by the majority party to redraw the electoral map to increase its chances of winning seats.
Democrats may have the most to lose with redistricting: Of the 27 state legislative chambers most likely to change hands after the November elections, 20 are now Democratic-controlled, said Tim Storey, an elections analyst for the Denver-based National Conference of State Legislatures.
Corporate Money
The Republican State Leadership Committee, the main fundraising arm for the party's candidates for lieutenant governor, state legislator and attorney general, took in $12.8 million as of June 30, compared with $9.6 million for its Democratic counterparts, Internal Revenue Service filings show. The Republican group received another $1.5 million on Aug. 31, from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce alone.
Seventeen of the biggest donors to the committee, whose chairman is Ed Gillespie, a former aide to President George W. Bush, are companies. They include Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and Exxon Mobil Corp., as well as WellPoint. Also contributing were two trade groups, the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America and the Entertainment Software Association, whose members include the Walt Disney Co. and Microsoft Corp.
People "are concerned about how the states are being run," said Gillespie.
National Democratic Party committees have outdone the Republicans at the federal level, raising $359 million for the 2010 elections, compared with $323 million for the rival party, Federal Election Commission filings show.
'Playing Defense'
Yet the Republican Governors Association has outraised its Democratic counterpart, $58 million to $40 million, including a $1 million contribution from News Corp., the New York-based media company whose chairman is Rupert Murdoch.
"Democrats are playing defense just about everywhere," said Storey.
Nationwide, Democrats now control 60 state legislative chambers to 36 for the Republicans. The balance of power matters because every 10 years the states redraw the lines for congressional and state legislative seats to reflect population shifts so each district has roughly the same number of residents.
Frank Donatelli, a former aide to President Ronald Reagan, said corporate giving is driven by the perception that Republican-controlled legislatures are friendlier to business.
"These companies have a lot of regulatory and tax issues; generally speaking, they'd much rather have a Republican legislature," said Donatelli, the chairman of Gopac, which funds Republicans running for state and local office.
Used to It
Michael Sargeant, executive director of the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee, said he wasn't concerned.
"We're used to being outspent by Republicans," he said.
The $842,000 that Indianapolis-based WellPoint and a subsidiary gave to Gillespie's group for state elections was up from $35,000 in 2008; IRS filings show. The company gave nothing to Democrats. WellPoint has donated more than $890,000 to 2010 federal candidates, about 70 percent of which went to Republicans.
WellPoint was critical of aspects of President Barack Obama's health-care overhaul. State officials must put provisions of the law in place, and some state attorneys general are suing to overturn it in court.
Kristin Binns and Jon Mills, WellPoint spokesmen, didn't respond to requests for comment.
Dallas-based AT&T, the largest U.S. phone company, gave $249,866 to Gillespie's group and $173,000 to the Democrats. Michael Balmoris, an AT&T spokesman, declined comment.
'Active Participants'
Two tobacco companies were among the largest corporate givers. Winston-Salem, North Carolina-based Reynolds American Inc. donated more than $600,000 to the Republicans and about $60,000 to the Democrats, and Richmond, Virginia-based Altria, the largest tobacco company, contributed $418,124 to the Republicans and $155,000 to the Democrats.
"We're active participants in the political process," said David Sutton, an Altria spokesman. Maura Payne, a Reynolds spokeswoman, had no immediate comment.
Several banks affected by the new financial regulation law weighed in. Charlotte, North Carolina-based Bank of America Corp., the biggest U.S. bank, gave $120,000 to the Republicans through Aug. 31 and the same amount to the Democrats through June 30. Citigroup Inc., based in New York, gave $150,000 to the Republicans in July.
Shirley Norton, a Bank of America spokeswoman, and Molly Millerwise Meiners, a Citigroup spokeswoman, declined to comment.
"The decisions that are made in these state houses have a direct impact on our quality of life," Gillespie said. "This year, it also has a big impact on the composition of Congress."

Know an Israeli MK Series
Today's MK: Anastasia Michaeli (Yisrael Beiteinu)
Today at The Scroll we're introducing (and possibly ending) a new segment here called "Know an Israeli MK." It's our chance to focus on the lawmakers who help carry the banner of democracy in Israel. And for our inaugural "Know an Israeli MK" we have selected Member of Knesset Anastasia Michaeli from Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beiteinu Party.
At 34, Michaeli is the youngest of the 18 Yisrael Beiteinu MKs, but oddly enough, not the only former model and television journalist (both she and Orly Levy-Abekasis are ranked in the party's top ten). Born in Leningrad, Michaeli's got a Master's degree in electrical engineering and communications.
After meeting her husband and moving to Israel, Michaeli converted to Judaism. Following her successful television career, she was recruited by Ariel Sharon to join Kadima in 2005, but the party didn't win enough seats in 2006 to secure Michaeli a seat.
After joining Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman's Yisrael Beiteinu in 2008, Michaeli was placed on Knesset committees on national security, education, social, and family issues.
Why You Should "Know an Israeli MK":
In 2009, Michaeli became the first incumbent MK to give birth. On July 5th, she had her eighth child (and fifth son) on, you guessed it, the exact same birthday as Yisrael Beiteinu chairman Avigdor Lieberman. Shortly after, she remarked at a party meeting:
"Lieberman asked me, jokingly, if I could wait until July 5, his birthday. The expected date was earlier, but I guess my son, like all the members of Israel Our Home [Yisrael Beiteinu], is very disciplined, and he in fact waited until Lieberman's birthday."
Earlier this year, during a heated debate with her fellow MK Raleb Majadele (an Arab Labor Party MK with whom she sits on the Education Committee), Michaeli ended the argument by calmly pouring a glass of water and throwing it on Majadele before exiting the room.
More recently Michaeli has been making headlines for a panoply of controversial comments. Last week, she drew the ire of many when she commented that homosexuality is a product of early child abuse and that "gays are miserable" and "in the end they commit suicide when they are 40."
In the aftermath of her comments, an Israeli comedian named Yossi Vider prank-called her, pretending to be Israeli President Shimon Peres and asking her to apology for her anti-gay remarks. Michaeli (unaware of that she was being pranked) promised she would consider the request. Michaeli then asked the fake Peres to arrange a meeting between her and Russian Premier Vladimir Putin, who is slated to make a visit to Israel in the coming months.
This week, she's facing some scrutiny for suggesting that abortions lead women down the primrose path to lesbianism. Even her party is distancing itself from her recent comments:
"Young girls get pregnant, get abortions — which hurt their chances of having children — and in the end they become lesbians.
And now you know an Israeli MK!

With a healthy of dose of gameplay refinement NBA Live 11 could take down NBA: The Inside from Sony next season. For this year, stick with The Inside for your basketball cravings.
While NBA Live may not be our absolute favorite portable hoops game this fall, it definitely holds its own as a worthwhile investment of $40. Yes, that's 10 more bucks than you'll pay for The Inside or 2K10 (something to consider, for sure), but there's plenty to keep you busy all season long.
NBA Live 10 is a title that EA Sports can use as a building block towards the future. Not everything is fine and dandy with this year's iteration, but the product presented at least is able to keep the attention of the gamer for more than 15 minutes.

Aransas Pass police captain hindered investigations, according to documents
Criminal cases in Aransas Pass have been hindered by missing evidence and lack of follow-up, according to complaints
ARANSAS PASS - Criminal cases in Aransas Pass have been hindered by missing evidence and lack of follow-up, according to complaints from the district attorney's office in a personnel file released this week.
Capt. Roberto Gonzales, who had been with the department 17 years, was one of two officers fired last month. Officer Steve Anderson also was fired days later in an unrelated move. Aransas Pass released both men's personnel files Monday.
Gonzales was head of the criminal investigations division and oversaw the evidence room. During a May driving while intoxicated trial, the district attorney's office was unable to find a blood sample that had been in the evidence room.
"As a result, it was necessary to plead the defendant to 5 years in prison. This was a waste of the court's time and a jury in San Patricio County," according to a letter from Assistant District Attorney Retha Cable to Police Chief Eric Blanchard.
Documents state that when Blanchard took over as chief in June, he spoke to Gonzales about controlling access to the evidence room. All officers had a key, but Blanchard told Gonzales to pick up all the keys and to record who went in and out of the room.
In July, Gonzales was overheard searching for a gun said to be in the evidence room. The gun's owner reported the firearm stolen and said an officer had called to say the department had it.
"It was later determined that the gun most likely was not handled by the Aransas Pass PD, but certainty on the matter could not be ascertained due to lacking evidence room management and records," according to Blanchard in the documents.
District Attorney Patrick Flanigan said his office continued with prosecution using video tape and testimony as evidence, but the agreement was made with the defendant.
"At that time, their processes couldn't satisfy me that they actually had received the blood and who handled it and what they did with it," Flanigan said. "I don't recall another case like that."
Several emails from Cable request additional information on cases ranging from forgery to driving while intoxicated to theft. Requests included sworn testimony from witnesses and a completed theft report.
Flanigan said letters requesting additional information aren't that unusual and aren't intended for disciplinary purposes.
"All departments over the years have received a number of letters," he said.
Anderson's file indicates he threatened an 18-year-old woman's boyfriend. The boyfriend told police Anderson said, "I better treat her right, and keep her safe or he wouldn't hurt me, but he would make me wish I wasn't alive."
Anderson told Blanchard he meant that if he caught the boyfriend doing drugs or breaking the law, he would arrest him. After the incident, he ran the plates of the boyfriend's car.

Drama will look decidedly different from the big broadcasters this fall, as the networks look more like their cable cousins all the time.
There will be science fiction and fantasy galore, plenty of special effects and glittery costumes and movie-quality camera styles. And there will be serials – lots of serials. No one seems interested in serving up a new episodic crime drama, the staple of network TV for the past 50 years or so, except – ironically – for NBC's remake of the 1960s favorite "Ironside."
Even CBS, the last bastion of traditionalism, is serving up "Hostages," a 15-part "limited series" that tells one single story.
Sadly, as drama gains in inventiveness, comedy lags. The ground broken by shows like "The Office" and "30 Rock" is being paved over by a return of old-fashioned multi-camera comedies long on zingers and one-liners but short on actual laughs.
Here's our guide to the best and the worst of what awaits this fall from ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, The CW and PBS.
"Last Tango in Halifax" (PBS, premieres Sunday) – This six-part British import isn't likely to draw the massive audience that "Downton Abbey" does, but it is a far more satisfying series. Derek Jacobi and Anne Reid star as childhood friends who reunite and fall in love after 60 years apart. Each brings a lifetime of history – and a multi-generational family – along for the ride.
"Sleepy Hollow" (Fox, Sept. 16) – A supernatural thriller that is intriguing and visually spectacular. Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman suddenly appear in 21st-century Sleepy Hollow, launching a deeper mystery. British actor Tom Mison is great as Crane, infusing the character with some much-needed humor. One warning: The pilot gives away too much too soon; we hope the rest of the series shows more patience.
"Hostages" (CBS, Sept. 23) – How much disbelief can you suspend? Like "24," the plot holes of "Hostages" are enormous, but the story moves forward with such force that it's easy to ignore them and get swept along for the ride. A team of rogue FBI agents led by Dylan McDermott kidnaps the family of the president's surgeon (Toni Collette) and demands that she kill him. The action-filled pilot hints at secrets and complications to come.
"Back in the Game" (ABC, Sept. 25) – Maggie Lawson and James Caan star in this suburban comedy that revolves around youth baseball – sort of "Cougar Town" meets "The Bad News Bears." The show leans heavily on the charms of its two stars, which fortunately are considerable. This gets the money slot between "The Middle" and "Modern Family," which should help its chances.
"Once Upon a Time in Wonderland" (ABC, Oct. 10) – This "Alice"-based spinoff of "Once Upon a Time" is even more visually interesting than its predecessor. Alice's "present" is Victorian England, which gives the show a steampunk quality. Whether the story holds up for a whole season remains to be seen, but it's off to a good start.
"The Crazy Ones" (CBS, Sept. 26) – "Mork & Buffy" might have been a better name for this new comedy, starring Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar as a father-daughter team that runs an ad agency. Despite the lack of alien origin, it's "Mork & Mindy" redux, with everything resting on Williams' ceaseless comic spray. One's enjoyment of this show, then, depends entirely on one's opinion of Williams. Still funny after all these years? You decide.

Jeremy Thurber - I Love You But
Artist: Jeremy Thurber
Producer: The Youngboyz
Album: I Love You But (Single)
Avg Rating: 3.8 ( 22 votes )
Like Stuck with Each Other (also featured today), San Diego singer/songwriter Jeremy Thurber's new single addresses the temptation to cut one's losses and leave when a relationship hits stormy seas. In contrast to Shontelle's ironclad commitment, however, the Booth newcomer's resolve to see things through isn't quite so strong, and he elects to walk away rather than staying in a relationship that forces him to say, "I Love You But..." Though the message is hard to swallow, the singer's earnest vocals and The Youngboyz' mellow keyboard-and-handclap production are sweet enough to make it go down a little easier. I Love You But poses an interesting question: is it better to hang on to the bitter end a la Shontelle, or to say goodbye when your gut says it isn't going to work out? As always, our readers get the final say.
