Video: Funeral Services Held For Slain Brockport Student
Video: Latest on Murder of SUNY Brockport Student
NEW HARTFORD, N.Y. (AP) - Hundreds of people filled an upstate New York church for the funeral of a New York college freshman who authorities say was beaten to death by her boyfriend.
Many wore purple Thursday in support of stopping domestic violence and purple ribbons were wrapped around trees outside the church in the central New York town of New Hartford.
The body of 18-year-old Alexandra Kogut was found early Saturday in her dorm room at the State University of New York College at Brockport, near Rochester, after her mother called campus police concerned.
During the eulogy, the Rev. Paul Drobin said that if Kogut were there, she would tell those gathered to care for and love one another.
Twenty-one-year-old Clayton Whittemore, of New Hartford, is charged with killing Kogut. He's pleaded not guilty.
If you are a university student who has concerns about possible dating violence, on-campus help is available. Below are links to those resources at some of the local colleges.

A large crowd turns out for the 31st annual St. Patrick's Day parade, which stepped off from McCoy Stadium at noon, and made its way through the streets of Pawtucket to the reviewing stand in front of City Hall on Roosevelt Avenue Saturday. A colorful crowd of all ages lined the streets to see marching bands, floats, police color guards, local dignitaries and many others take part in the popular Pawtucket tradition honoring the feast of St. Patrick's Day and hosted by Mayor Donald Grebien. A road race was held earlier in the day and an after-party was held for all those participating and the public at the Pawtucket Armory.

Coulda shoulda: Alternative automotive histories from the sketchpad
Not happy with the way automotive history played out? Wishing your favorite automaker in your favorite time period would have played around a little more with conventionality? Bored with auto designs restricted by feasibility of production? Good, because we trawled deviantArt for some more 3D renderings and concept sketches of vehicles that never were.
Not quite as out-of-Soviet-airspace as the earlier renderings from 600V and pretty_pete that we previously posted, these still showcase quite a bit of both imagination and 3D modeling skills, starting with the Explorer, as rendered by TheRestOfGuys. The whole rationale for cab-forward or cab-over trucks results from the effort to maximize load space, so TheRestOfGuys went ahead and endowed the Explorer with a surplus of load space, what looks like enough to swallow an entire sheet of plywood and then some.
Or perhaps he just wanted to add enough weight rearward of the front axle to counter the cab and stub nose. Either way, it doesn't look too difficult to build.
Bugatti only built a handful of cars after the end of Type 57 production in 1939, and only two that progressed at all beyond the prototype stage: the Type 73 (1947, four built) and the Type 101 (1951, six built). TwistedMethodDan, however, envisioned a Type 101 successor called the Type 102, sketched it out, and gave his blessing to Marian87 to render it in 3D. The resulting semi-fastback with a rather British upright face, certainly looks of the period. It appears Bugatti did use the Type 102 designation for a dual overhead-camshaft four-cylinder, which looks like it would fit under the hood of TwistedMethodDan's design just fine.
Finally, one for the pony car era. Antonuo calls it the AT.DS, and it looks vaguely like a cross between an early 1970s Pontiac Firebird and Dodge Charger, treated to a Pro Touring modernization.

Have y'all ever watched Toddlers and Tiaras? Or maybe, Here Comes Honey Boo Boo? No? Yes? Okay, well, I don't own a television set but thanks to Youtube I have learned all about the infamous "Go Go Juice" that has been made popular due to both of these shows.
What is go go juice? That is an excellent question! Go go juice is a concoction of half caffeine drink, half energy drink. According to Toddlers and Tiaras and Here Comes Honey Boo Boo it is specifically a half and half mixture of Mountain Dew and Red Bull. It is supposed to give the person (or child) who drinks it an intense energy burst and happy personality. Like coffee, except, you know, kind of ghetto and untested.
For some inexplicable reason I had the urge to try go go juice this week. Perhaps it was the bland taste of black coffee that convinced me to try some alternative and palatable energy enhancement. Maybe I just like being a guinea pig and trying new things out on myself. I don't know why I made and drank go go juice (multiple times this week). All I can tell you dear readers is, Please Don't Do It!

While the Carbon County School District has it's own code of conduct for students, which includes a dress code, that schools must follow, board members saw nothing wrong with one school wanting their own code adopted that was more stringent than the present district code at the March 12 meeting of the board.
"It appears to me that they can write their own code if it defines what is and isn't permitted more closely or if it is more restrictive," said board president Jim Leonard after some discussion.
Some students and the administration of the high school feel that the code they have been using is not specific enough so it made enforcing the rules very difficult. A committee of students was formed and they went to three other high schools to see what those campus' are doing. The schools visited were Lehi High School, Provo High School and Wasatch High School.
"The old code is not defined clearly enough," said Danielle Julian, who headed up the student committee. "Some kids are pushing the limits too much."
But board members were concerned about a number of points in not only the proposed code, but also in the present one.
"I'm not sure I see the reason to rewrite the code," said board member Grady McEvoy. "Is the current code even being enforced the way it should be?"
Boyd Bell also worried about enforcement.
"You know it's easy for us to put a stamp of approval on this but you will have to the be the ones to enforce it," he told the school administration that was present in the audience.
But Carbon High principal Robert Cox said enforcement is the very problem.
We have a hard time enforcing it because it isn't specific enough," he told the board. "For instance on the sleeve length. Some students will wear three tank tops so that they can spread out the sleeves and make it wide enough to fit the length we have required. The new code would make this more specific."
He also went into detail about how some boys will wear pants that when they bend over everyone can see their posteriors.
There have also been problems with midriff blouses, too short of skirts, straps that are too thin, types of references to various kinds of things on T-shirts, etc.
"One of the problems has been the definition of things," stated Cox. "Much of it is so ambiguous. If someone can tell me the definition of a tank top I would be really happy, because it sure has been hard to define."
The board also discussed how much control the school should have. For instance they can restrict students to keeping with the code and student only activities, but for instance at a football game they can't restrict dress because more people are involved than just students. But that discussion also brought in what to do about feeder schools to the high school. If the others are allowing things that the high school doesn't that could be a problem in coming years.
"We have joined with the feeder schools to Carbon High and have agreed to enforce the same kinds of issues," said Melissa Bueno, Carbon's assistant principal. "Together we have determined what modest means and are all doing the same kind of thing."
The board felt comfortable with the implementation of the change.
While the dress code was the biggest social issue of the night at the board meeting, the biggest monetary decision came in the form of good news. In a report presented to the board, the district has been able to refund some bonds that were originally issued in September of 1993. By doing this the district will save $392,877 in debt service savings.
"I've done a number of these from various school districts in the last few weeks, but this is the best rate and the biggest percentage of savings I have seen," said Kent Michie of Zions Public Finance, who handled the transaction.
The board members were pleased with the outcome of the refinance and passed a resolution adopting it.
"This will close on April 1," said Leonard. "The taxpayer is the biggest winner in this."
In another money matter that came before the board, business administrator Bill Jewkes reported because of a change in the funding model for the charter schools in the state, Carbon District will not have to send a check to Pinnacle Canyon School after this year.
"We sent a check for the $150,000 for this year, but this is the last year we will have to do that," he told the board.
Next on the agenda was a discussion of the district's policy for students concerning cell phones, electronic games, pagers, walk-men, boom-box stereos, or certain other technology tools.
The revamped policy was developed to discourage students from bringing such devices onto campus rather than prohibiting them entirely like the present policy.
"The idea of the policy is that we don't want students to bring them to school," said board member Grady McEvoy. "But if they do and they use them inappropriately, the devices will be taken away."
In another matter the district also began looking at how they will be utilizing the money they will be getting from the extended leeway that was approved by voters in February. While no decisions can be permanently made until that money becomes available in July, Patsy Bueno requested that the board allow the district's administration to begin to develop job descriptions for the new elementary reading specialists that was part of the proposed package that was put forth in the leeway literature.
"Just as long as this is just for developing that description and to begin to look for qualified candidates," said board member Boyd Bell. "There is no money yet. That will all require further discussion."
The board voted that the administration go ahead with the process.
In another issue the board was approached about approving new fees for next year for the gifted and talented program at Mont Harmon Junior High, but board members said, that while they didn't have a problem with the fees, that those new fees needed to be presented within the package of fees for the school at the regular meeting where all schools present their fees later in the year.

20 critical raw materials - major challenge for EU industry Published on: 26/05/2014, Last update: 23/06/2015
The European Commission presented today a revised list of Critical Raw Materials. The 2014 list includes 13 of the 14 materials identified in the previous list of 2011, with only tantalum moving out of the list (due to a lower supply risk).
Six new materials appear on the list: borates, chromium, coking coal, magnesite, phosphate rock and silicon metal bringing the number up to 20 raw materials which are now considered critical by the European Commission. The other 14 raw materials are: antimony, beryllium, cobalt, fluorspar, gallium, germanium, indium, magnesium, natural graphite, niobium, platinum group metals, heavy rare earths, light rare earths and tungsten. In the revised list, rare earths are for the first time split into two separate categories: light and heavy rare earths.
The list should help to incentivise the European production of critical raw materials and facilitate the launching of new mining and recycling activities. Furthermore, the list is being used by the Commission to help prioritise needs and actions. For example, it serves as a supporting element when negotiating trade agreements, challenging trade distortion measures or promoting research and innovation. It can also serve as a source of information for companies who would wish to evaluate the criticality of their own supply of raw materials.
Raw materials are everywhere - Just consider your smartphone: it might contain up to 50 different metals, all of which help to give it its light weight and user-friendly small size. Key economic sectors in Europe - such as automotive, aerospace and renewable energy - are highly dependent on raw materials. These raw materials represent the life-blood of today's industry and are fundamental for the development of environmental technologies and the digital agenda.
European Commission Vice-President Antonio Tajani, Commissioner for Industry and Entrepreneurship commented: "The Commission, in cooperation with Member States and stakeholders, is taking a wide range of measures to implement this strategy. These include a reinforced Raw Materials Diplomacy and trade policy, fostering sustainable supply within the EU and boosting resource efficiency and promoting recycling. The EU list we presented today aims at contributing to the implementation of the EU industrial policy and to ensure that European industrial competitiveness is strengthened."
More information:
Report on Critical Raw Materials for the EU (revision of the list)
Supporting European industrial competitiveness
Raw materials are called critical, when their high supply risk is mainly due to the fact that a high share of the worldwide production is concentrated in few countries. This concentration is in many cases compounded by low substitutability and low recycling rates. While all raw materials are important, critical raw materials deserve particular attention. Therefore the list represents a useful tool in the context of the overall EU raw materials strategy. Criticality is based on an analysis of the supply risk and the economic importance of raw materials.
The current 2013 review has used the same methodology, indicators and thresholds as the original 2010 criticality assessment at EU level, but with updated data and a wider range of materials. Two main parameters are taken into account to measure whether a raw material is critical or not: its economic importance and the risk of supply. As regards economic importance, the analysis is achieved by assessing the proportion of each material associated with industrial mega-sectors at an EU level.
The list of critical raw materials is part of the Commission's second progress report on the implementation of the EU Raw Materials Initiative, launched in 2008, which was also issued today.
In 2010, the Commission published an expert report, which established a methodology for the identification of raw materials deemed critical to the EU. In its 2011 Communication on raw materials (COM (2011)25 of 2 February 2011) the Commission adopted a first list and stated that it would continue to monitor the issue of critical raw materials in order to identify priority actions. It also committed to undertake a regular review and update of this list at least every 3 years. The new report contains recommendations for how to improve the next revision which is planned to start in 2016.

YouTube NextUp Europe: Funding, Training, Promotion and Networking
Are you a YouTube partner? Do you have fewer than 50,000 subscribers? If so, then you could be part of the first wave of the YouTube NextUp programme in Europe, which is designed to support aspiring channels of all types to accelerate their progress and take the next step in their activities online.
Last year, our partners generated more than 100 billion views as part of our partner programme. We believe that the successful singers, dancers, actors, producers, musicians and make-up artists of the future are practicing their craft on YouTube today. Partners are key to our platform, and we want to see even more of them take the next step in their YouTube careers and turn their video hobbies into careers or even businesses.
So, today we're announcing an initiative geared towards up-and-coming YouTube partners: YouTube NextUp. The goal of the project is to accelerate the growth of the next big YouTube stars. Up to 25 partners from around Europe (United Kingdom, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Netherlands) will be selected for the development programme, which consists of:
- €20,000 funding to produce a new project, purchase new tools or advance their overall YouTube careers.
- A place at a YouTube Creator Camp in which they'll benefit from 1:1 mentoring and learn an array of production techniques from leading industry and YouTube experts.
- Promotion of their final work and channel.
- The opportunity to become better connected with a special community of aspiring and talented content creators from around the world.
Our Partners succeed thanks to the support and interest of the YouTube community as a whole, so we're encouraging users to cast their votes on the longlist of finalists from July 1 to July 9 at the channel. Once this public voting ends, a final shortlist of Partners will go forward to the final round, which will be judged by a panel of YouTube representatives. The members of the first YouTube NextUp programme in Europe will be announced on August 2.
So, if you are a partner and you have a) a clear idea of how you want to develop on YouTube, and b) can demonstrate the drive to do so, then you could well find yourself NextUp for YouTube fame.

Gold = too much hype, a poster argued with me, thught this event is her to lose???
Caroline ZHANG (USA)
Music: Nessun Dorma by Giacomo Puccini
Black dress w long sleeves and open back. Silver strap detailing
3Lz+2T - flutz
StSq - sloooow, she doesn't match the intensity of the music at all
Solid program, but those are not getting +GOE. She needs more speed and relation to the music
Gracie is a shadow of what she was last season. She is just not a competitor. She can't handle her nerves during competition. That much is obvious when you watch the stark contrast in her practice and competition skates. Only 3 triple jumps landed is a spectacularly poor result for a good jumper. Her horrid skates as a senior have lowered the judges' opinion of her too, judging by her poor PCS.
Give Gracie a chance. She has a ton of talent. It took her a while to get it together in Juniors, too. It certainly did not happen in the first year for her.
Caroline Zhang (looked really slow)
FS score: 96.90
Overall: 149.87
Score: 96.87, total 149.87 and into 2nd.
Her lack of quality made her go behind a mistake-ridden Gold
I'm kind of glad Zhang didn't beat Gracie. Caroline only tries 3 different triples (one of them not good at all).

- Full Description
Software effort estimation is a key element of software project planning and management. Yet, in industrial practice, the important role of effort estimation is often underestimated and/or misunderstood.In this book, Adam Trendowicz presents the CoBRA method (an abbreviation for Cost Estimation, Benchmarking, and Risk Assessment) for estimating the effort required to successfully complete a software development project, which uniquely combines human judgment and measurement data in order to systematically create a custom-specific effort estimation model. CoBRA goes far beyond simply predicting the development effort; it supports project decision-makers in negotiating the project scope, managing project risks, benchmarking productivity, and directing improvement activities. To illustrate the method's practical use, the book reports several real-world cases where CoBRA was applied in various industrial contexts. These cases represent different estimation contexts in terms of software project environment, estimation objectives, and estimation constraints.This book is the result of a successful collaboration between the process management division of Fraunhofer IESE and many software companies in the field of software engineering technology transfer. It mainly addresses software practitioners who deal with planning and managing software development projects as part of their daily work, and is also of interest for students or courses specializing in software engineering or software project management.

Travis d'Arnaud could make the team out of Spring Training
Sandy Alderson said on WFAN yesterday that the Mets have not ruled out the possibility of Travis d'Arnaud being on the Opening Day roster.
"We expect to get a good, long look at him over most of February and the games in March," Alderson said of d'Arnaud. "What happens at the beginning of the season will atl least depend in part on how he performs in Spring Training. … It would be unfair, given his situation, his level of development to say 'he can't make the team out of Spring Training.' … I just don't want to rule anything out. At the same time, I don't want to create false expectations on the part of our fans or any sense of pressure on Travis himself."
Alderson said if d'Arnaud makes the team, he will be their regular catcher and not serve as a backup.
However, if d'Arnaud instead starts the year in Triple-A, Alderson said John Buck is more than capable of being the team's starting catcher until d'Arnaud is ready later in the year.
In 67 games with Triple-A Las Vegas last season, d'Arnaud hit .333 with a .380 OBP, .975 OPS, 16 home runs and 52 RBI in 279 at-bats.
Michael Baron, Contributor
If d'Arnaud stays at Triple-A for the first 20 days of the season, he will be unable to accrue a full year of Major League service time – meaning the team would control d'Arnaud through the 2019 instead of just 2018. As was the case with Ike Davis in 2010, I'm sure the Mets will jeopardize that year of control for d'Arnaud over a matter of 20 days, even if he is ready. It's also worth noting d'Arnaud saw limited action last season thanks to a PCL injury in his knee, and so a little extra work in Triple-A wouldn't hurt his development.

What are some guiding principles that anchor your leadership philosophy?
There are enough people in this world who try to lead by telling people what to do. I think it is more important to lead by example. Since I founded HealthEquity in 2002, I have always been willing to jump on any plane, fly to any city, or pick up the phone to make any call to help our sales and business leaders perform their important duties. If we ever have a client conflict or challenge, I will support our team to make the right decisions to serve our customers.
We try to instill in our team members 3 key principles: 1) Team members (the word "employee" is a pet peeve of mine) must be "ambassadors" of your brand. 2) We must strive for "flawless execution." 3) If we make a mistake, or if our customer perceives they have been wronged in any way, fix it quickly and thoroughly and they will become more loyal than if we had never made a mistake. We measure our success in these efforts by conducting regular surveys, utilizing the Net Promoter methodology, to track our success.
Our team members have helped us to become one of the most highly regarded service companies in the health care and financial service industries by adhering to these principles.
What does "Dare Mighty Things" mean to you?
As I was completing my 5 year surgical residency at the University of Arizona, which followed 4 years of undergraduate education at USU and 4 years of medical school at the University of Utah, I decided to start HealthEquity. I love practicing medicine and feel a remarkable sense of responsibility for patients that have been entrusted to my care. That being said, I realized that while a busy surgeon may treat several thousand patients and employ a few dozen people during the course of a long career, starting a company has the ability to serve millions of people and employ hundreds or thousands of people.
Surgery is a very demanding career choice with high stress and long work hours. But there is minimal career or financial risk in medicine. There is typically high market demand for a general surgeon's services. I chose to "Dare Mighty Things" by starting a company to help change the way that Americans consume health care and help people build health savings for their future health care needs.
HealthEquity's mission statement is bold, long term, and noble: "We will save health care by helping people better save and spend their health care dollars." We currently provide services to more than 1 million Americans and have over 250 team members. We manage nearly $1 billion of our customers' health savings account deposits.
I am lucky to still be able to practice surgery on a part-time basis so I get the best of both worlds of serving people in medicine and business. Dare Mighty Things means to me to not take the easy or safe journey in life, but rather to take the road that can help the most people to have a better life.

No wonder she said yes!
Last week, Matthew Mosshart and Kelly Osbourne finally confirmed that they're engaged ... and now we're getting to see her giant sparkler!
Osbourne creatively shared a snap of her new engagement ring while showing off her manicure. On Saturday, the "Fashion Police" star tweeted, "Loving my new manicure thank you #esnails."
We are loving the 28-year-old's bling -- the ring is a simple round (and huge!) solitaire diamond in a modern setting.
Mosshart and Kelly had the ring custom made to look like an earring her dad, Ozzy Osbourne, used to wear when she was a little girl.
"I designed it to look like and earring that my father wore," Kelly told Hello! magazine. Adding, "I used to hold my finger up to his ear when I was little and say, 'I want a ring like that.' Now I have one!"
We are so happy for Kelly -- click "Launch Gallery" above to see even more celebrity wedding and engagement bling!

State police picked up Bobbie Jo Zeller, 36, of Norfolk, on an arrest warrant for multiple counts of third-degree grand larceny, first-degree identity theft, fourth-degree grand larceny and second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument Thursday morning at a motel in Malone.
She was processed at the state police station in Massena and is scheduled to be arraigned Thursday, May 2, in Ogdensburg City Court.
State police have been searching for Ms. Zeller for the past few weeks after police said she reneged on an agreement to turn herself in on the pending charges.
Bureau of Criminal Investigation Senior Investigator Judith M. Trimboli, Massena, has said the minimum amount collected in the alleged scam is $270,000.
"Numerous subjects provided her with money under false pretenses. I don't think we will ever reach every victim in this case. She said she needed money for certain reasons. Those reasons are not accurate," the investigator said two weeks ago.
The investigation initially stemmed from reports a former Waddington priest had solicited tens of thousands of dollars from parishioners and friends in an attempt to assist a woman he was led to believe was destitute.
Officials with the Roman Catholic Diocese of Ogdensburg said in February that Monsignor Robert L. Lawler, the former priest at St. Mary's Catholic Church, collected money for someone he wrongly was led to believe was in dire financial straits.
"Monsignor Lawler was not the only avenue she went through to obtain money under false pretenses," Investigator Trimboli said.
Ms. Zeller has a history of similar arrests. She was convicted in 2001 and 2005 in St. Lawrence County Court of first-degree scheming to defraud. She was sentenced to serve two to four years in prison for her felony conviction in 2005.
Ms. Zeller was released from custody in June 2009 after completing six months in the Willard substance abuse treatment program and served the remainder of her sentence under parole supervision.

EPI-743 for Metabolism or Mitochondrial Disorders

- How to Read a Study Record
- Mitochondria are the parts of cells that help produce energy. Metabolism is the process by which the body uses energy to help cells grow and reproduce. Metabolic and mitochondrial disorders affect the body s ability to produce and store energy. These disorders can cause a wide variety of problems, but most often they affect the muscles and the brain, where energy requirements are high. Treatment is difficult because the exact source of the problem is hard to detect.
- EPI-743 is a new drug that is based on vitamin E. Tests have shown that it can help improve the function of cells with mitochondrial problems. It may be able to treat people with genetic disorders that affect metabolism and mitochondria.
- To see if EPI-743 can improve energy production and use in people with mitochondrial or metabolic disorders.
- Children between 2 and 11 years of age who have metabolic or mitochondrial problems.
- Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood and urine samples will be collected.
- The study will last about 13 months. Participants will have seven 3- to 5-day inpatient study visits about 3 months apart.
- Participants will take either EPI-743 or a placebo for the first 6 months of the study. After 6 months, there will be a 1-month rest period. Then, those who received EPI-743 in the first 6 months will take the placebo for the next 6 months. Those who had the placebo will take EPI-743.
- During each inpatient study visit, participants will have a physical exam. A 24-hour urine collection will be obtained. Blood samples will also be taken. Imaging studies and other tests may be performed as directed by the study researchers.

The clinical manifestations of disorders of energy metabolism and defects in oxidation/reduction are similar because the basic defect involves the inability to transfer electrons. The same is true for many mitochondrial diseases. Affected patients exhibit a wide variety of signs and symptoms, but the most frequent and earliest dysfunctions occur in the muscle and brain, where energy requirements are high. The diagnosis of this type of defect is problematic because of the nonspecific and protean clinical manifestations of these disorders. Treatment is equally challenging, since the exact locus of the primary defect generally remains enigmatic. As a consequence, physicians rely upon generic cocktails of vitamin co-factors or endogenous intermediates intended to enhance mitochondrial electron transport, diminish the damage of reactive oxygen species, and promote energy production. The field is such a morass that, in general, it calls for trial-and-error treatment based upon empiric data. Edison Pharmaceuticals, Inc, has developed an in vitro assay that provides such empiric data. Their system determines the capacity of fibroblasts in culture to withstand oxidative stress; that ability is reduced in disorders of energy metabolism and oxidation/reduction. The assay system also determines if the cells respond with increased viability to an IND drug called EPI-743, which essentially accepts electrons from other intermediary metabolites more efficiently that other therapeutic compounds. We propose a clinical trial that enrolls 20 children who meet three criteria. First, they must have a disorder that, based upon studies performed in a clinical protocol such as 76-HG-0238 ( Diagnosis and Treatment of Patients with Inborn Errors of Metabolism and Other Genetic Disorders ), is consistent with a defect in energy metabolism or oxidation/reduction. Second, their cultured fibroblasts must exhibit a defect in the ability to withstand oxidant stress. Third, their fibroblasts must respond to EPI-743 in vitro by showing improved viability under conditions of oxidative stress. This protocol is a double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study with 6-month periods of treatment and a one-month washout period. Patients will be admitted to the NIH Clinical Center for 4-5 days every 3 months. The primary outcome measure will be quality of life based upon the Newcastle Paediatric Mitochondrial Disease Scale (NPMDS) for ages 2- 11 years. Secondary outcome measures will be tailored to each patient s laboratory, imaging, and clinical abnormalities. Results while receiving EPI-743 will be compared to results while receiving placebo; both repeated measures analyses and Student s t test will be employed.

Last we heard from Brad Fuller, he and Platinum Dunes were not sure what was going to happen with Friday the 13th 2: The Squeakquel. Yesterday on Twitter Fuller announced, "it is dead – not happening." No further explanation was provided as Fuller chose to not use his remaining 113 characters, but it can be assumed this stems from Platinum Dunes's desire to move away from the horror genre.Still, it comes as a surprise though considering the cash the remake raked in. And it's strange to think of a world without a never-ending string of Friday the 13th sequels. They've been a part of life as long as I can remember.

Photo taken in an alternate universe where James Cameron is a member of Tangerine Dream.It won't be long before Sam Worthington plugs his hair into a double-tailed dolphin in order to glide amongst the extra-finned fish and decempi of Pandora's oceans. James Cameron has announced that Avatar 2 will combine his love of the deep with his love of deep pockets."Part of my focus in the second film is in creating a different environment – a different setting within Pandora. And I'm going to be focusing on the ocean on Pandora, which will be equally rich and diverse and crazy and imaginative, but it just won't be a rain forest. I'm not saying we won't see what we've already seen; we'll see more of that as well."Man, Cameron loves him some bodies of water.

"South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have predictably drawn controversy with their recent 200th episode. A Muslim website issued a warning that the duo will likely be killed for their recent depiction of Muhammad in a bear suit. The posting also included a graphic picture of slain Theo van Gogh, a documentary filmmaker killed for mocking the prophet in a film about violence against Muslim women."We have to warn Matt and Trey that what they are doing is stupid and they will probably wind up like Theo Van Gogh for airing this show. This is not a threat, but a warning of the reality of what will likely happen to them."No strangers to controversy or death threats, Parker and Stone are more than likely not taking this warning to heart. Muslims don't mess around when mocked or disrespected. I guess you could say that the (Ed. Note: Joke deleted. I cherish my life). (FoxNews)
Barry Sonnenfeld confirming the news. Director Barry Sonnenfeld told Showbiz 411 that Men in Black 3D is closer to happening sometime at some point. Will Smith has officially signed on and Tommy Lee Jones nodded awhile back, thus confirming his involvement. There's only the small matter of a script, which didn't seem to hinder the production of MiB2. I'm pretty sure the shooting draft of that was scribbled on the back pages of a Wild Wild West script. Men in Black 3D will be in 3D, as the title suggests and your common sense surmised. It's most likely Sony's hope that it lands in theaters Memorial Day 2011. Will Smith has a history of making that weekend his box office bitch.
In news that will make out-of-work dolly grips ecstatic, Martin Lawrence is certain that Bad Boys 3 will definitely happen needlessly. A script has been in the works for awhile and Michael Bay and Will Smith have stated that they'd come back if their price (Smith wants a role for Jaden, Bay wants a lifetime supply of snow leopard meat) is met. Here's what Lawrence told MTV:Any time you can get Big Willie to come out and talk about doing a third installment of a hot movie like 'Bad Boys,' you have to take notice. I met with Michael Bay, and he said he's onboard too — so it's real…We're just waiting on Jerry Bruckheimer to let us know when it's really real.Sounds like sh*t could get real to me. As long as the story is there, of course.

Also, I don't think it would be fair to Zachary Quinto. He's a terrific actor, he looks the part, and it's time to give him some space. And I'm very flattered the character will continue. [Before all this] I was away from acting for 12 years, so I guess I was seducable. But since J.J. Abrams revived the Star Trek franchise, I felt I owed him something. And I'm glad I did it because he promised me a good story, and it was."He's also retiring from the convention scene, with only a few more appearances planned. So if you have any important questions or theories about pon farr negation or want to point out continuity errors in the original series, your time to pester Mr. Nimoy is running out. (Toronto Sun)
The Onion News Network reports on rumors that Gwyneth Paltrow may take a blow to the kisser in the upcoming film Iron Man 2.

Just saying.Adventureland director and Turtle Club member Greg Mottola has been hired to write (and presumably direct) Paramount's adaptation of the overly-titled Important Artifacts and Personal Property From the Collection of Lenore Doolan and Harold Morris, Including Books, Street Fashion and Jewelry. Mottola will turn the fictional estate auction catalogue from a dissolved relationship into a romantic comedy that has Brad Pitt and Natalie Portman attached to star. Jennifer Aniston is said to be working on a similar project, starring herself and a life-sized Brad Pitt Hairdoll. (THR)
Kyle Chandler gets paranoid around lip-readers.The long-suffering fans of Friday Night Lights would be wise to stiffen their upper-lips while reading this next piece of news. Kyle Chandler is said to be in talks to star in a new pilot for Steven Spielberg and Fox, all but guaranteeing the cult favorite will not survive its current season. But whatever, let's look to the future. Or in this case, to the future and then to the past.In Terra Nova, Chandler will play to his non-football coaching strengths to play a patriarch who travels through time (much like he did in "Early Edition") and get chased by dinosaurs (much like he did in King Kong). But this family from the future warped to prehistoric times sounds familiar. Where have I seen this Space Age meets the Stone Age concept before? (EW)
It's 4/20, so of course a trailer centering around the sweet sticky-icky has dropped. Stoner comedy HIGH School follows a valedictorian who, out of fear of losing his college scholarship, begrudgingly teams up with a charismatic pothead to do the only thing they can think of to neutralize the threat—get the entire student body stoned. If you can't tell by the above screen shot, Adrien Brody plays the drug dealer with a penchant for stink eyes, and Matt Bush, the kid from those "don't throw your f*ckin' minutes away!" AT&T commercials, plays Henry Burke, the student. Michael Chiklis dons a full head of whispy hair as the smarmy principal who institutes a zero-tolerance policy at the school and wants Henry's head on a pike. Those crazy kids at this past Sundance loved the film, but I heard that crowd only smokes kind buds, so your experience may differ depending on your allowance. Check out the… Oh man. **Giggles uncontrollably** I know I put something after the jump.
You'd think an expertly-trained international spy would stay focused on the actual mission.
Having grown bored with dominating the fields of movie-making and silly hair-having, Imagine Entertainment brohams Ron Howard and Brian Grazer are pulling a Michael Bay. The pair have created an action-oriented reality thriller for TNT that challenges contestants to escape from movie-inspired scenarios. From THR:In "The Great Escape," ordinary people are put in cinema-inspired settings, challenging them to find a way out using everyday ingenuity. Each week, teams are dropped off blindfolded in a different extreme environment — lost in the desert, trapped in the mountains, locked in a prison, marooned on an island. This sounds like a fun and fresh premise. There's so many classic films that can be channeled for the program. Contestants could spend a terrifying night at Camp Crystal Lake, or get your teeth drilled by a nazi dentist. Or worse yet, they could be forced to raise an illegitimate child with Katherine Heigl.
Jennifer Lopez's new movie, The Back-up Plan, premieres this week. The film is supposedly a comedy about having a baby. Unfortunately, the trailer looks about as funny as SIDS. In fact, the only humorous thing about the film is that it was originally titled Plan B. Now that's comedy! But when it comes to awful films about babies, The Back-up Plan has a lot of company. Here are nine other poorly conceived baby movies. Son of the Mask – 2005 The Mask (1994) was a horrible film that was made slightly tolerable by the presence of Jim Carrey. So when you replace Jim Carrey with Jamie Kennedy and throw in a baby with magical powers, it's pretty clear you've got a real crapfest on your hands. Did I mention it also stars Alan Cumming? Well it does.
Economic hard times haven't only hurt 85% of everyone you know, forcing them move back with their parents and job hunt to no avail for 14 straight months. No. The deflation has also taken its toll on cocksure British spies who get laid pretty much constantly and introduce themselves in needlessly redundant ways. The cash-strapped MGM has announced that development on Bond 23 has been halted indefinitely.Producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli have issued this statement:Due to the continuing uncertainty surrounding the future of MGM and the failure to close a sale of the studio, we have suspended development on 'Bond 23′ indefinitely. We do not know when development will resume and do not have a date for the release of 'Bond 23.'That sucks. I hate it when a film franchise isn't afforded the opportunity to be sequeled into oblivion to the point where the plots and villians all melt together into one homogenized, exploding blur. Stories like this really need to spread their wings, y'know? And has no one taken into consideration the feelings of the poor TBS Superstation? Now they'll likely never get to celebrate '23 Days of Bond' properly. (Coming Soon)
Drawn Together – Watch more Funny Videos The show "Drawn Together" may have been cancelled, but that door closing left one giant window open for a movie. The Drawn Together Movie: The Movie! pulls a post-modern, meta headtrip by centering on the housemates, who deduce their show has been cancelled after they realize they can swear without being bleeped. "Family Guy" mastermind Seth MacFarlane also has a cameo as I.S.R.A.E.L. (Intelligent Smart Robot Animation Lady). Judging by MacFarlane's participation and the necrophilia in the above trailer, there's a good chance this could be one helluva laugh/vomit inducing cartoon caper.

Hey guys, women. Am I right? From Variety:Summit Entertainment has acquired film and TV rights to the "Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus" franchise based on the book series written by John Gray.Erik Feig, Summit's President of Production, stated, "'Men Are From Mars, Women Are From Venus' is not just the title of a book, or what we know will become an amazing film and TV franchise – it is a pop cultural mainstay and comically, sadly, romantically, all too often still true these many years after first being published. We are thrilled to have the opportunity to work on a franchise whose name everyone knows and whose reality everyone lives!"And we're even more thrilled to pull a Valentine's Day/He's Just Not That Into You/Love, Actually by cramming a bunch of rich, pretty people into a movie together. I don't think Jessica Alba has hooked up with Bradley Cooper in a movie yet. And with that forehead and underbite of hers, Drew Barrymore certainly looks like she could be from another planet.
UPDATE: The final figures are in and Kick-Ass took the top spot with $19,828,687. How to Train Your Dragon came in at number two with $19,633,320. Still read the post though. I spent at least twenty minutes on it.Kick-Ass has some explaining to do after coming on hot and then underperforming in the weekend box-office sack. Sucks to be you, bro! Haha. That NEVER happens to me. Shut up. My eyes always well during allergy season.But did it really lose?Speculation was that it would earn at least $30 million so if you wanna be a dick about it, yes. As of today it holds the number two spot behind How to Train Your Dragon (final calculations come in tomorrow), trailing by $250k. But bear in mind that Dragon is a 3D movie for children. Kids movies always pack them in and when you factor in the higher cost of 3D tickets, it's no surprise that it raked in more cash. Adjust for that info, and the R-rated, non-3D Kick-Ass probably brought in a larger audience. I'd calculate all this info myself but the F12 button is all the way over there and it's time to go eat a sandwich. So in conclusion, just sayin'. (BoxOfficeMojo)
And please, keep the fat, bearded auditions to a minimum. Last week we told you that Todd Phillips is working on a raunchy, low budget comedy deemed Project X, which Joel Silver will co-produce and Nima Nourizadeh will direct. Unlike most outlandish secret projects in Hollywood, this one is actually panning out, as Phillips has given it a violent shove into the casting phase.People with faces and voices and dreams and no shame can audition for a role in the 12 million dollar budget comedy at projectxopencall.com. You need to be at least 18 years of age and look like you're actually 18, so Nic Cage need not fire up his Handycam. Your options for the video audition are as follows:Tell us your most embarrassing story.Tell us your craziest party story.Tell us about the riskiest or most daring thing you've ever done.If you wanted to impress someone at a club, show us how you would dance.Show us the one thing that you do that makes your friends laugh.How about all five at once, casting agents? I've kept a sh*tting myself yarn in my back pocket for years that's gonna bowl you over. Hollywood stardom, here I come! (Deadline)
You asked for it! Wait, you didn't ask for it? Well than the Japanese assumed you wanted it! The Big Tits Zombie 3D trailer is here, and it delivers on all the words in the aptly named title. You can even rearrange the words and the title would still apply. There are big 3D tits zombie, zombie big tits 3D, and 3D tits big zombie. The trailer is protected by an age gate due to some chainsaw carnage, but unfortunately you don't see any of the promised oversized mammaries (ripe or rotten). The film is about a group of strippers fighting a band of zombies, and some of the zombies play ping pong. Quit trying to stir up sh*t, strippers. Just grab a paddle and chillax. Check out the trailer below.
I was surprised when Robert Rodriguez's Grindhouse trailer Machete was given the big screen treatment, because Rodriguez is known to just say things. So color me super-secret-double-omega-very surprised at the news Rutger Hauer is to star in a feature length version of Hobo With a Shotgun. In 2007, SXSW held a contest which invited filmmakers to make cheap crap to go along with Grindhouse. Hobo With a Shotgun was by far the best of the bunch and Jason Eisener's fake trailer was attached to Canadian prints of the film. Filming on the feature version begins tomorrow with Rutger starring as the titular hobo. That's great casting as Hauer is no stranger to doling out justice or looking kinda like a hobo. Though Busey. Busey would have been a casting coup. (AICN) Check out the original Hobo trailer after the jump…
Let's get this barbeque f*ckin' started. This Labor Day, make room for Machete amongst your ice cold beers and charred hot dogs. The Robert Rodriguez produced film based off the trailer from Grindhouse will hit theaters September 3. Machete stars Danny Trejo as a blade-wielding Mexican ex-Federale who is double-crossed by a crooked politician. If for some loco reason blade-wielding Mexican's aren't your cup of horchata, keep in mind that Jessica Alba is playing twins in the film. Yes, that's right, Rodriguez DOES listen to your prayers at night, and he has answered them. Who else did you think you were appealing to? (Variety)

No surprise here, but they made a "True Blood" porn parody entitled Tru: An XXX Parody. It's a shame porn trailers aren't allowed to show any porn. In my opinion, it's the best part of these adult films everyone keeps fapping about. Watching the above video without kinky sex is like watching a Jane Campion film without kinky sex. All your left with is blood and bruised women. (FilmDrunk)
Betty White and Jay-Z will reportedly squash their long-standing beef for an upcoming episode of "Saturday Night Live." Hova will appear as the musical guest on the May 8th episode which White is hosting after being cyber-bullied into taking the gig.For those worried that White is not up to the after-hours task had best check themselves."It's lovely, and at my age it's certainly unexpected. I've got so much energy, it's ridiculous. I love working. My schedule is a feverish one, and I'm used to that." Betty White's album is expected to drop on Roc Nation before the end of the year. Streets is hungry for this one. (MTV)
The man profiled in the highly-amusing video above is Bill Anthony Jakob, a security guard who rolled into a small Missouri town and passed himself off as a Federal Agent by quoting Beverly Hills Cop 2 and flashing a badge purchased on the Internet. Jakob went on to arrest twenty meth dealers and significantly clean up town. Naturally, his story will now be made into a movie.Deadline reports that Curtis Hanson and Iron Man 2 actor-turned-writer Clark Gregg are in talks to bring The Man With the World's Biggest Balls (working title) to the screen. Not much is known yet about the tone of the film but it's expected to be a drama with comedic elements. Think more along the lines of The Informant and less along those of Martin Lawrence's Blue Streak or National Security or any other films in his "cops who are not" series. I mean, really. Would you seriously let this pizza-brandishing maniac into your police station?
Death at a Funeral R, 93m., 2010Cast: Chris Rock, Martin Lawrence, Zoe Saldana, James Marsden, Columbus Short, Regina King, Keith David, Peter Dinkaledge with Loretta Devine, Luke Wilson, Tracy Morgan…
"Thank you for coming to our pudding party."Continuing on his path of selecting films with terrible titles, Samuel L. Jackson has signed on to star in Deathgames, opposite Twilight and Elm Street's Kellan Lutz.Former visual effects supervisor Jonah Loop, will make his directorial debut with the modern gladiator film. In the story, Lutz is kidnapped and forced to battle in the arena for the entertainment of online spectators. Jackson runs the games, overseeing them from his lair with the help of twin ladies "who see to his every desire." Just like Steven Seagal. If Seagal were computer-literate.(THR)

Cartha D. "Deke" DeLoach, 92, died March 13 on Hilton Head Island, S.C. not far from his birthplace in Claxton, Ga. He had retired to the coastal island after a 28-year career with the FBI – the youngest applicant to become an agent – and then as vice president of PepsiCo, Inc. where he served for 15 years. But of course it is his years with the FBI that hold the most intrigue.
As deputy director under J. Edgar Hoover, DeLoach supervised the investigation that helped convict James Earl Ray for the murder of Martin Luther King, Jr., according to an obituary that ran in the Island Packet on Hilton Head. He "was the last surviving member of Hoover's exclusive inner circle, a trusted deputy and personal confidant," the paper reported. "He is credited with giving one of the most authentic accounts ever written about the FBI, a book titled Hoover's FBI: The Inside Story by Hoover's Trusted Lieutenant."
Despite what he revealed in the book – and in a three-hour meeting with Leonardo DiCaprio who played Hoover in the 2011 film J. Edgar – it is likely DeLoach, third in command at the FBI, knew more about his former boss that he never told.
Additionally, in 1964, DeLoach was the one who alerted President Lyndon Johnson about the three bodies of civil rights workers been found near Philadelphia, Miss. Here's where the two men's lives overlap.
That case, which led to the manslaughter conviction of Klansman Edgar Ray Killen, took place on farm property owned by Olen Burrage who died at 82 in Meridian, Miss. on March 15. The federal government indicted 18 men for violating the men's civil rights after local prosecutors did not charge anyone with the murders. Only former Klansman Edgar Ray Killen was convicted of manslaughter in 2005. Burrage was one of eight acquitted but there were always suspicions that he must have known what was taking place on his property.
The murders and what followed became the acclaimed 1988 film Mississippi Burning.
After Burrage died last week, Jerry Mitchell, an investigative reporter at the Clarion-Ledger wrote: "Burrage's insistence he knew nothing made some who knew him doubt his tale. 'You wouldn't bury a dead animal on somebody's property without permission,' one Philadelphia resident assured me.'" Mitchell called Burrage to press the question – "How could a bunch of Klansmen have slipped onto your property in the dead of night, run a bulldozer and buried three bodies 15 feet down without you hearing or knowing something?" – but Burrage hung up on him. "What I heard instead was a click, followed by a dial tone."
Whatever secrets he might have had, are buried with him forever now.

On the afternoon of Friday, Nov. 22, 1963, the turgid melodrama of "As the World Turns" was suddenly interrupted by grave news from the real world. In Dallas, three shots had been fired at President John F. Kennedy's motorcade. Fifty-eight minutes later, a visibly moved Walter Cronkite would confirm the unthinkable: The president was dead.
For the ensuing three days, Americans gathered around their televisions in a rite of collective mourning as the three broadcast networks abandoned their regularly scheduled programming to provide uninterrupted news coverage. From Nov. 22 through 25, 1963, 96% of TV-owning households tuned in for an average of more than 31 hours, apiece, and a record-setting 41.5-million television sets were in use during the president's funeral Monday afternoon.
This type of blanket coverage was unprecedented at the time — CBS had become the first network to expand to a 30-minute news broadcast just two months earlier — and would be replicated only after the Sept. 11 attacks 38 years later.
Television eventually returned to normal, of course, even if the popular imagination never completely did. Five decades after his death, Kennedy remains a fixture on the small screen, providing dramatic inspiration for shows such as "Mad Men" and fodder for hundreds of made-for-TV movies and documentaries.
Fittingly, the 50th anniversary of the assassination will be commemorated by the medium it helped define, because a veritable avalanche of JFK-related programming is scheduled to hit the airwaves in the coming weeks. CBS, NBC and PBS have prime-time specials in the works, as do the cable news outlets and a host of other channels, including History, Discovery, National Geographic and Discovery.
Whether because of lingering questions about the assassination, the perception that JFK's death marked the end of postwar optimism and the beginning of the '60s, or the simple power of the Kennedy mystique, television cannot seem to get enough of the so-called Camelot era.
"The four days remain imprinted in our minds, as do the significant moments that you see and re-see. Even if you were not alive in November '63, certainly you've experienced the television moments of it and are still grappling with what it means," said Ron Simon, curator of the Paley Center for Media in New York.
It seems there's a flavor of Kennedy coverage for every palate, from "Letters to Jackie" on TLC for first-lady fanatics to "JFK: The Smoking Gun," for the more conspiracy-minded, on Reelz. If television provided a way to collectively mourn a leader's death in 1963, today's cacophonous medium inevitably offers us dozens of ways to remember.
PHOTOS: John F. Kennedy on screen
The retrospective began at last month's Emmy Awards, where Don Cheadle described the assassination as "the moment when the television generation came of age," then introduced "American Idol" star Carrie Underwood, who performed the 1965 Beatles hit "Yesterday."
The awkward tribute illustrated the difficulty of revisiting this chapter in American history in a way that feels fresh, appropriate and relevant, particularly for a younger generation of viewers — a challenge also faced by producers of the coming deluge of Kennedy-related programming.
One time-honored approach is to involve big-name celebrities, however indirectly. CNN has "The Sixties: The Assassination of President Kennedy" (Nov. 17), the first installment of a 10-part documentary series produced by Tom Hanks, who will also appear, along with Steven Spielberg, in NBC's "Tom Brokaw Special: Where Were You?" (Nov. 22).
Hanks notwithstanding, the JFK project with the most name recognition may be "Killing Kennedy," premiering Nov. 10 on National Geographic Channel and adapted from the nonfiction bestseller by Bill O'Reilly and Martin Dugard.
PHOTOS: How TV reacted to JFK's assassination
The film, starring Rob Lowe as the ill-fated president and Ginnifer Goodwin as the long-suffering first lady, hopscotches through the major events of Kennedy's abbreviated term in the White House (Bay of Pigs, the Cuban Missile Crisis) in between scenes of his womanizing. More illuminating, at least to the average viewer, will be the film's depiction of Lee Harvey Oswald (Will Rothhaar), especially his alleged attempt to assassinate the far-right-wing zealot Gen. Edwin Walker and his tragically close brushes with the FBI.
In a decision that will surely draw jeers from certain corners of the Internet, "Killing Kennedy" hews closely to the Warren Commission's official version of events. "This is not a conspiracy-theory story, it's based on what's known and what's proven," said Howard Owens, president of National Geographic Channels.
But the Grassy Knoll will also have its moment in the spotlight (as arguably it should, given that only 24% of Americans believe Oswald acted alone, according to an AP-GfK survey conducted in April). Reelz, the obscure cable network that made headlines in 2011 when it acquired the History castoff "The Kennedys," has "JFK: The Smoking Gun," a documentary (of sorts) airing Nov. 3 which posits that the fatal shot to Kennedy's head was accidentally fired by Secret Service Agent George Hickey. (Appropriately, the network will also broadcast Oliver Stone's "JFK," the urtext of Warren Commission skepticism.)
Other specials, including CNN's "The Sixties: The Assassination of President Kennedy" and "Fox News Reporting: 50 Years of Questions: The JFK Assassination," will take a more measured look at the findings of the commission in 1964.
"Nova: Cold Case JFK," airing Nov. 13 on PBS, uses cutting-edge forensic technology to address some of the more persistent pro-conspiracy arguments, like the contention that only a "magic bullet" could have passed through Kennedy and Texas Gov. John Connally and remained intact.

Diet and exercise sure does the body (and skin) good!
On Monday, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi was spotted leaving the gym makeup-free in East Hanover, New Jersey.
The reality star looked happy and healthy as she smiled for cameras sporting hot pink leggings and a black T-shirt.
Snooki's dropped more than 40 lbs since giving birth to her and fiance Jionni LaValle's first child together, Lorenzo -- and she looks amazing!
But the weight definitely didn't just fall off. Polizzi's personal trainer, Anthony Michael, keeps the tiny star fit with regular, grueling workouts.
Snooki posted a photo of herself after the gym on her Instgram with the caption, "Rockin pink gear today. The least I can do is look bright and tan as I'm feeling like death my first day back to training in a week."
Lookin' good sure aint easy -- click "Launch Gallery" above to see more stars without makeup and check out the gallery below to see Snooki's TwitPics!
