A 64-year-old fast-food patron suffered a broken arm after he was thrown to the ground and kicked repeatedly by a 62-year-old homeless man. But what makes this story really pop is the fact that the fight was over a toilet in a Montebello, CA, Del Taco restroom. This may seem petty, but if you've eaten Del Taco, then you'd know that those toilets are the equivalent of land in the gold rush.
The homeless man was taking his time in the restroom when the other man tried to enter. The homeless man then allegedly kicked the victim repeatedly, because that's the proportional response when someone tries to enter the restroom.
The homeless guy was arrested, but expect him to be kicking people over restrooms again by this time tomorrow.
On the plus side, this is one of the most upbeat Hooray for Hollywood stories we've published (because no one actually died).
The media has a way of perpetuating the notion that all news stories in and around Hollywood have to do with the glamorous entertainment industry. We at Screen Junkies would like to give our readers the entire story, and that means offering some Los Angeles-based news that might not make it into 'USWeekly' or Entertainment Tonight.

Chapter 4 : 04. Riding a Bicycle
|Rating: 15+
|Chapter Reviews: 4
Background: Font color:
It was three days after the pool incident. She hadn't talked to Albus-he had come over yesterday, but she'd said she had plans. She just didn't know what to say to him. She should go talk to him, make up for yesterday. It wasn't his fault if he was sworn to secrecy. Besides, she would win his secret eventually. How could she expect him to trust her when they had only just started talking?
After finding the tank and shorts she wanted to wear, she looked for her flip-flops. She thought she left them in her closet, but the green pair wasn't there. She got to her knees and looked under her bed and dressers, but they weren't there. She groaned and decided that she could just find a different pair. Making sure she looked presentable, she slipped on a pair of while flip-flops, put on her sunglasses, and made sure her phone was in her pocket.
She was just walking out the door when she saw the green flip-flops she had been looking for. But she was ready and didn't feel like changing. She walked over to Albus' house and stood outside the door. She should knock; it was the best way to talk to him. Just standing outside his house and waiting for the door to open would not serve to impress anyone.
Rolling her eyes at herself, she knocked. Lily answered the door. "Oh, hi Amelia. Mom and dad aren't home, so we can't have guest over. Sorry."
"I was hoping Albus was home. I don't have to come in, he can come out," Amelia said.
"Sure," she said with a smile. "Just let me get him for you." She closed the door and walked away. Just a moment later, Albus opened the door.
"Amelia," he said with a smile. "What's up?"
"I wanted to say sorry about yesterday, and I thought maybe you'd like to do something today?" she asked.
"Yeah, just let me get my stuff." He closed the door again-apparently, she wasn't even allowed in the house until Mr. and Mrs. Potter returned. She sighed. She didn't understand what was really happening. It took him over five minutes to return to the door. "Okay, I'm ready. I have mug-er, money for if we go out and do something." He smiled.
"Oh, did you wanna go do something?" she asked as they walked down the street.
He shrugged. "I dunno. I wasn't sure what you had planned."
"I don't have much planned," she said. "Actually, my plan extended to asking if you wanted to hang out and not a bit further."
"Right, then let's go do something," he said. "Town isn't that far, I'll grab my bike, and you can grab yours and we'll go do stuff."
"Umm…one problem. I don't have a bike."
He seemed to blush a little. "Oh, I thought I saw your little sister with one, so I thought you all had one. Sorry. You can use Lily's, I'm sure she wouldn't mind."
Amelia shook her head. "No, it's not that. I can't ride."
Albus just looked at her. "You can't ride a bike. You can't swim. What can you do?" he asked playfully. Even so, it hurt her feeling a bit.
"Stuff," she answered.
"Brilliant. Stuff. So, what sort of stuff?"
"Just…stuff." She was starting to feel annoyed. "It doesn't matter. I was always afraid to learn because when Hayley got her bike, she wrecked and broke her arm. So I gave up my bike. I hadn't made it out of training wheels."
"You know, this seems to be the summer where I teach you."
"What?" she asked, slightly confused.
"I'm going to teach you to ride a bike. Properly, with only two wheels. Stay here," he said and ran back to his house. He came back riding a his bike. He stopped in front of her. "Get on."
"But I'll fall."
"No you won't, just get on."
"I'll fall Albus."
He sighed. "I won't let go, okay. Just get on."
So she did.
Albus put one of his hands next to hers on the handle bars, and reached around her and placed his other hand next to her other hand. Her hearts started beating quicker. His arms were around her. His arms were around her.
"Put your feet on the petals," he instructed, bringing her back to reality. She was nervous, but did it anyway, and smiled when she didn't fall over. "Now, petal slowly and I'll go with you."
It was a slow process, but she eventually got the hang of it, with Albus showing her how to use the hand break, and by the end of the day, she could ride on her own. "
The sun was setting by the time they finished. Both of their parents had arrived home, but the two had enjoyed the day. Albus walked her to her house, dropping his bike near the edge of her yard. She was about to go inside when she stopped.
"I had a great time today, Albus," she said, looking up into his eyes. He looked back into her blue ones.
"I did too."
"Thanks for teaching me, now I have to get mom to get me my own bike."
"Yeah, and maybe we can make the short trip into town soon."
She wasn't sure what to do. She was just smiling, looking at him, and he was doing the same, though all the awkwardness that had been their during their first meeting was gone now. He put his hand on her face, brushing it with his thumb. Her heart rate jumped. Thoughts swirled though her mind. Is he going to kiss me? Ask me out? What's going to happen? He leaned in quickly, placing a soft kiss on her cheek.
"I'll see you tomorrow, Amelia Darvill." He smiled and waved as he hopped on his bike and rode to his house.
"You better, Albus Potter," she whispered, her face reflecting his smile as she walked in the door.
She looked at the bike. While it wasn't a thing of great beauty, she couldn't believe she had went so long without owning one. It was green, almost the color of Albus' eyes, and it even had speeds, though she didn't know what they were for, so she wouldn't touch them.
Albus had to be gone today of all days. She had finally gotten her own bike, and he wasn't here to share her joy. Instead, he had to go school shopping and buy school supplies. It was the middle of July, who went school shopping this early?
He had invited her everywhere this summer, so she was surprised when he hadn't invited her to go shopping too. He had told her he would bring her a surprise though.
They had spent nearly every day doing something together, weather it was go to the pool and more swimming lessons (she was getting quite good) or her on Astrid's bike while they rode around the neighborhood. They hadn't gone into town yet, because Albus said she would need a better bike than Astrid's.
There was still the problem with his secrecy. She might say something, or ask something, and he would shut down. She asked him was his favorite subject was in school, and he said that was a breach in their agreement. She didn't understand it.
She was almost never invited into his home. He came over to hers quite often though. And she never saw Mr. Potter leave for work. She didn't understand how they got there, because they only had one car and both of them worked. That was something she knew she couldn't ask Albus though.
She had thought things were changing with them when he kissed her that day, but that had been the only time he had kissed her, and they never brought it up. It killed her. She was growing to like him even more, even if he wasn't completely honest with her.
She was sitting on the steps, waiting for Albus to come home. She felt a little weird, but she wanted to ride over and show off her new bike. So when she saw the car pull onto the street and into their driveway, she rode over.
"Albus! Look at this."
"Yeah, that's awesome. We can so go into town now! Tomorrow even, so long as you have your helmet and pads."
She nodded. "Mom made me get them anyway, so yep, I have them."
"Awesome." He sighed. "Lia, I'm really tired from shopping and stuff, and we have to get this all in. We'll talk tomorrow?"
"Yeah, sure," she said. She got back on her bike and rode to her house. Lia. She snorted. He only used that name when he wanted her to do something. He had decided she needed a nick name when she started calling him Al about a week ago. It had started as Amy, but he said Amy was too common of a nick name for her name.
She went inside and to her room, hoping that tomorrow would be the day things changed.
Sometimes, she would regret that hope.

Ramble On: Best of Upstate Be is out and ready to go
Does it seem like it's later than it really is? Do you feel like the year is getting away from you and there is so much more you want to accomplish? I can probably explain what why: You probably think it's a lot later because the Best of Upstate Be ballots are already out.
In the past four years, Upstate Be's "Best Of" awards usually come across these pages around October. We put out the ballot, offer up some awesome prizes and ask you to vote for your favorite restaurants, businesses and people in a variety of categories. Then you send it to us and, based on your votes, businesses are awarded the coveted "Best of Upstate Be" moniker and bragging rights for a full year.
This year, we wanted to get a jump on things and give you more time to make your voices heard. After all, you are the ones who can give these deserving businesses a chance to call themselves the best of the best in Anderson and beyond.
Most of you probably don't realize this, but many of the businesses that win something like this are super proud of it. We give them window clings to show their victory, we give them a party to celebrate their hard work and we publish all the winners in a special Upstate Be that will be out on Oct. 20.
But the whole thing starts with you, the readers. You are the only ones who can make this a true representation of the best businesses the Upstate has to offer. Your votes are little affirmations of a job well done that can blossom into a huge honor at when Oct. 20 comes around.
After all this, you might be thinking to yourself, "What do I get out of this?" I could tell you it's all about the satisfaction of telling your favorite businesses how much you appreciate them. I could say it's a chance for you to tell everyone that you voted for the best Chinese restaurant or the best salon. But the reality is, you should do this because there is a chance you might win a bit of money that would come in handy for that October Christmas shopping you know you have to do.
That's right, we are giving away $300, $200 and $100 American Express gift cards once again this year. By registering your vote and encouraging others to vote, you could win gift cards that could go a long way in buying mom something awesome or just getting yourself the iPhone 5 when it comes out.
And we have given you plenty of ways to cast your votes. You can pick up Upstate Be at more than 150 locations in Anderson, Pickens and Oconee counties and find the paper ballot in each issue. It will also be in the page of the Independent Mail for the next month. Heck, you can even get a ballot at a variety of businesses that have asked for a ballot box. Or, you can get on your computer, laptop or phone and vote online at www.upstatebe.com.
The fact is, there is no excuse not to vote. Your business or your favorite business could get some much-deserved recognition, it's really, really easy to do and you could win money for doing it. What more do you want from us?
And if that isn't enough, you still get to read Upstate Be every week and get the best local entertainment coverage in the Upstate. Local bands, awesome festivals, huge parties and popular events is all we do around here. The more you read us the more you will learn about what's going on. And the more you learn, the better equipped you are to vote in the Best of Upstate Be ballots.
Just like Simba once said to that meerkat and the warthog, "It's the circle of life."

Dear Mom & Don,
I'm standing in line waiting to see the "Friendship 7" in the Nasa Exhibit. It's 1:30 right now. Sat. night we went up in the Space Needle. This cake is in the Food Circus where we ate. I'm (was) staying with Irma Henry, Zola's cousin (I think). I'm going home this evening because I have to be back at 8:00 for a CYO meeting. I went through the Science Exhibit & waited ½ hour. Sometimes you have to wait for 1 hour or more. Send more later.
To Mount Airy, MD

Look familiar? I went through the Science Pav. for the 2nd time today--had to go back & read the fine print. Also ate so many French pastries—fell in love with a charming Frenchman--oh, la la!!! Right now it's 10:30 and Corey and I are in the food pav., having smorgasbord & Chinese food & baked apple—why do I love to eat?
See you Weds.

Dear Jessie & Buck
Went to the Fair today & rode the Monorail. It was really a smooth ride. We didn't get to go up in the Needle—such a crowd of people waiting there. Although it was sunny & clear in Seattle today, it was chilly; a cold breeze blew in from the ocean all day. We really miss the Colorado sunshine.

Hi Mike, I think what you see in these pictures is sufficient in seeing the fair, and costs a lot less too. Everything is one long wait & you know me when it comes to waiting! But I'm enjoying almost everything else, especially the fact that we officially started east today and John might possibly try to make it home for Ag's wedding. I sure hope so! How's your summer? Fine I hope, as I hope business is also. See you soon.

Well here we are in Montana on our way home. I think it will take us 2 weeks to recuperate. I hope it isn't hot @ home. It was 48 in Seattle yesterday and had been colder.

Mon nite
Surprise! As you can see I'm not fooling around much & am trying to make it a special year. Four hrs by jet & arrived Sat. for 7 days. Land & water tours interesting. Nice view of the Olympic Range. Weather very comfortable. Easy to get around. Must take a bus to the fair tho. Long line for the Space Needle. Don't know if I'll make it. Had my dinner down by the pier tonite—to be different. I'm not telling the girls at work. None of their business.
See you

P.S. We just got to Canada.

To Lafayette, CA
July 21
We're up in the darned thing!! Only had to wait an hour and a half in line. People who eat in the restaurant have to wait 3 hrs. Families have a great system—one holds the place in line and others dropout for food and to go to the bathroom. It's like a marathon. Some even go and sit on a bench for awhile! You'd love it all.

Haven't been near office so didn't get to send you the wire. It only took us 45 mins to get up on the observation platform of the space needle. I enjoyed the Hawaiian show the most.

Much love Theresa
To Ukiah, CA
Wow, what a great blast from the past! My mother and I rode the train from Portland to go the Seattle World's Fair in 1962. It all seemed so cutting edge! I was fascinated by the Bubbleator or at least the idea of it. I loved all the exhibits about our probable future - Century 21! I think that is where my love of sci fi came from. We had dinner in the Space Needle, feeling daring because it seemed that it could topple over as did the monorail. Very dangerous to a 12 year old. I still have some pictures from then - the International Fountain, the science exhibits, the crowds, the rides. Loved it!

|No , Joe, only the beans are drained. It can be as soupy as you want depending on how little you cook it . Longer it cooks the thicker it gets.
Some might need to add more spice to it to make it "hotter" . If I can eat it , it won't be too firey spicey . Just seems like a good thing to have on a chilly day as it was the day I first had it.
Glad eveyone is enjoying it.

iOptron SmartEQ Pro or Celestron AVX
Posted 20 August 2013 - 10:28 PM
I have an AT72ED that I love, with the A2FF and a DSLR...basically ~7.8lbs of gear. I learned a bit about AP (unguided) last winter with my CG-4 mount (w/ motors and polar scope), and I really enjoyed it. Now I want to try guided AP (leaning towards the Orion Mag Mini package and a netbook or Raspberry Pi.) I was originally all about the Celestron AVX as my next mount because its more capable than the CG-4, has PEC, autoguide port, GOTO and what seems to be a pretty good polar alignment routine.
Then I start doing some research on the iOptron SmartEQ Pro...with metal gears, autoguide port, etc., and what caught my eye was how truly portable it is, compared to the AVX. I understand the standard ratio of 'weight of gear' to 'capacity of mount', and that with my setup above I'm pushing 2/3 of the 11lbs capacity of the SmartEQ Pro, but I've also seen posts (Astronewb) that say that ~8lbs is still doable on the SmartEQ Pro.
I will have to setup and tear down each night, have a 2.5yr old at home, and have very limited time avail for observing/AP. Plus I do anticipate taking the mount up north of Austin, TX this fall to try to catch the comet, and may even try getting to some star parties. So I guess I'm looking for anyone that has a similar setup (scope, camera, autoguider) on one of these two mounts. I also have to say the savings of the iOptron over the Celestron is pretty tempting, but that will not be the sole reason I go one way or the other.
I have read several threads on both these mounts, and in general it seems that folks are happy with both.
Anyway, thank you all in advance for your input.
Posted 21 August 2013 - 02:22 AM
it was also heavier than i expected (although that was probably from everyone saying you could carry it out fully assembled...it felt like i should be able to carry the whole thing with one hand ) that said, i'm used to the weight now.
although i have an autoguider and mini guidescope i use on my c90, i can't really say i've started autoguiding (just got everything about a month ago). right now i'm just doing pec training since the moon is out, and practicing my polar alignment. i had some trouble at first, but using the c90 and my 7d and byeos to center the stars gives me really accurate polar alignment. i expect, from my test shots, that this will work out very well, i should be able to get some nice images with my setup. i just need the clouds to go away >_<
have you considered the zeq25? it has a capacity of 27lbs i believe and reports have been pretty positive. also about 15-20 lbs lighter than the avx i believe.
the only reasons i chose the avx over the zeq25 were pec (which may not matter that much in a mount of this class, and matters even less if you're planning on autoguiding), the fact that it was on sale, and opt had free shipping to hawaii (zeq25 would be $150 or so more just for shipping).
i also choose the avx over something like the astrotrac (smart eq pro or polarie) because i wanted only one mount and the ability to put larger, heavier telescopes on it later on.
Posted 21 August 2013 - 07:16 AM
The ZEQ25 is a wonderful mount. It is just a joy to use. The only thing I might add is the Powerweight.
Posted 21 August 2013 - 10:26 AM
Posted 21 August 2013 - 03:20 PM
So I guess a question for me is whether anyone has fit the SmartEQ Pro to a third-party tripod? I'm not sure the extra ~$130 for the ZEQ25 over the AVX is worth it, as I still have to get the autoguider... But, if the SmartEQ can be mated fairly easily to another tripod, that might make it the one...
However, if its not really worth it to try that route, the AVX on sale right now might make more sense for me. Also, I've read there are some mods one can do to the SmartEQ tripod, has anyone done any that have made a significant improvement? I kinda wish I didn't have to sell the CG-4, as that tripod was pretty good... Oh well.

Thanks for the input all!

Paul Chasse (astronewb) has an older thread on mods to the SmartEq mount to improve its performance. The one that made the most difference to me was cementing the leg couplers with expoxi.
As shipped, the tripod legs are held into their couplers with philips-head screws. The fit is not at all secure and in particular you get a lot of torsional flex. Gluing the legs into the plastic couplers with epoxi takes all the slop out and makes a significant difference in the rigidity of the tripod.
Search for his link and be sure you don't get any epoxi on the movable parts of the colapsible sections of the legs. It actually was pretty easy to do once I'd looked at his link. He has some good photos to make it all clear
Posted 22 August 2013 - 12:03 PM
I can carry it in and out fully assembled with an 80mm Oynx EDF scope but I had much more on would disassemble it.
It seems very sturdy and capable for astro photography, I've used two 80mm scopes, one for guiding and one for imaging, also a 6" GSO RC with a ST80 piggy backed as a guide scope. That is definitely not carry out fully assembled territory. The PEC is very good and guiding works well. The ASPA works well for polar aligning, just as well because I can't see Polaris from where I operate.
Can't comment on the iOptron mount because I've never even seen one.

So I was very skeptical about opus when it sounded like a new OGG Vorbis hype where the codec is both free and crappy quality. I didn't think without SBR it would be able to compete with Nero HE-AAC. So I compared at different bitrates and opus always sounded worse. I decided to ABX at different bitrates, opus failed on 32 and 48 but not 64 where the treble was audibly brighter than Nero.
Ok you got me convinced that opus sounds better at 64 kb/s, why does it suck so bad at other bitrates? Also, why didn't you guys include WMA in your listening test along with opus? WMA has proven to be slightly superior quality to HE-AAC at 64 kb/s so maybe opus still has a competitor.
Also, fix your biased testing methodology and keep the bitrates as close as possible to the original! Jesus. My hypothetical codec produces output bitrates of 192 kb/s when my quality setting intends it to be half as less, I demand it to be nominated as capable of transparency at 16 kb/s.
Your unscientific results makes me keep clear of your website these days.

OGG sounds worse than Nero AAC, your own listening tests proved it before you started biasing the results.
I'm aware the tests are VBR, they STILL have to match the target bitrate as much as possible for the test to be scientific. All the bitrates in my test are VBR but they also are adjusted to be as close to 32, 48 or 64 kb/s as possible, I'm not gonna allow opus to go all the way up to 80 if the target is 64. Not too hard to comprehend. The truth is in the middle. Stop going to extremes and thinking CBR is your only other option. Do VBR and adjust the quality setting to match the bitrate. Stop thinking in black and white.
And I've been lurking here since 2007, thanks. I just rarely post. You run a tightly-moderated fascist hierarchy and are overrun with trolls and people with serious problems. I'll move to North Korea if I wanna deal with that.
I never use parametric stereo, I add -he to Nero. PS makes everything sound worse.

Show us this supposed biasing.
If anything, Vorbis has not been tested recently because of its having been overtaken by other formats (as was shown in 2011s multi-format listening test) and its being in line to be replaced by Opus. Still, it is not particularly bad, as you seem to be trying to portray it. Perhaps you should redirect your little crusade against MP3 instead, since it does considerably worse and yet is significantly more popular. Then your frustrated energies might go somewhere.

Yeah, you probably should stay away. At least then well have one less of those trolls that you mentioned.
I also note your defaulting to the hoary old epithet fascist, as if its anything other than a meaningless crutch for people with a chip on their shoulder who want to try to discredit someone who doesnt agree with them with the maximal chance of getting approval from easily impressed onlookers.
Thankfully, though, the site does not go to the opposite extreme by being an enforced democracy; otherwise, ideas like yours in this thread would get much more traction than they deserve.

In a series of experiments, the investigators found that the application of isoflurane to cultured cells and mouse neurons increased the permeability of mitochondrial membranes; interfered with the balance of ions on either side of the mitochondrial membrane; reduced levels of ATP, the enzyme produced by mitochondria that powers most cellular processes; and increased levels of the cell-death enzyme caspase. The results also suggested that the first step toward isoflurane-induced cell death was increased generation of reactive oxygen species unstable oxygen-containing molecules that can damage cellular components. The performance of mice on a standard behavioral test of learning and memory declined significantly two to seven days after administration of isoflurane, compared with the results of a control group. None of the cellular or behavioral effects of isoflurane were seen when the administered agent was desflurane.
In another study by members of the same research team appearing in the February issue of Anesthesia and Analgesia and published online in November about a quarter of surgical patients receiving isoflurane showed some level of cognitive dysfunction a week after surgery, while patients receiving desflurane or spinal anesthesia had no decline in cognitive performance. That study, conducted in collaboration with investigators from Beijing Friendship Hospital in China, enrolled only 45 patients 15 in each treatment group so its results need to be confirmed in significantly larger groups.

David Moulton: Finding ways to financially compensate college athletes
If you have read this column for the past few years you know that I advocate for college athletes in major sports to be compensated beyond their current scholarship. The majority of you disagree with me and feel that playing football or basketball for a free education is a good and fair deal.
For argument's sake, let's say I come around to the majority view (which I won't). Now we walk into the college bookstore or go on to the athletic department's website and find that a specific player's jersey is being sold for $50 (which would be cheap).
That's not part of the deal.
Yet many of you also argue that the jersey is school property. You contend that from 2006-09 all those Florida jerseys with the No. 15 on them — even though we all know they were Tim Tebow jerseys — are Florida Gators jerseys. Therefore, Tebow had no right to any of that money even though not many Florida "15" jerseys were sold in the 40 years before he wore that number.
I think this is laughable at best and hypocritical at worst, but for argument's sake I'll go along with it.
Now justify what is taking place at Clemson (and virtually everywhere else).
Sammy Watkins, the pride of South Fort Myers High School, is taking the campus (and the college football world) by storm. He wears No. 2. Sammy plays and Clemson provides him with free schooling. If the university want to sell his number on a Clemson jersey then that money is theirs to keep, right?
But shouldn't Watkins get a piece of the action if a company starts selling T-shirts, posters and prints of Sammy Watkins off-campus? That seems fair, right?
It's one thing for Clemson to profit off of the 18-year-old but at least they are providing him with an education and an opportunity to play. What is the local business doing for Sammy?
Go to www.tigertowngraphics.com. You will see T-shirts that on the front say "The Deuce" and on the back say "is Loose." They sell for $14.95. Color prints of Sammy (and others) in action sell for $49.95.
This is not the marketing of Clemson through Sammy Watkins. This is the marketing of Sammy Watkins under the guise of Clemson. Is it unreasonable to suggest that if the player is not entitled to any of the revenue generated from on-campus merchandise sales, shouldn't he at least be entitled to a percentage of off-campus merchandise sales?
Watkins' skill is the reason that those T-shirts and prints have value. Period.
The shirts and prints do not say "Clemson" on them. They are using Sammy Watkins' number, his photo and his talent to profit. And I'm fine with that so long as he can get a piece of the pie.
What about 10 percent. That's a modest amount. It's $1.50 per T-shirt and $5 per color print. Every week or month the store cuts Sammy a check based on sales. Simple as that.
No money coming from the Clemson athletic department. No $100 handshakes from boosters. A legitimate business arrangement.
Conservatively, thousands of those "The Deuce is Loose" T-shirts are going to be sold over the next three or four year. Nevermind any other off-campus merchandise that will be sold specifically because of Sammy Watkins. Maybe they sell 10,000 T-shirts. That's a smooth $15,000. Could be a lot more than that.
For Sammy and many others just like him.
Does it seem fair that Sammy Watkins is entitled to none of the money being made off of him?
Not to me.

Weekly Ketchup: Insidious 3 Gets the Greenlight
Plus, new roles for Leonardo DiCaprio, Michael Fassbender, Bryan Cranston, and Jack Black.
This week's Ketchup covers seven days in which there weren't many (confirmed/non-rumor) "big stories," and some of those that did break out were sort of "rotten" (like the new Jack Black, Adam Sandler and Vince Vaughn movies). On the "Fresh" side of movie development stories, we have new films for Bryan Cranston, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Michael Fassbender.
This Week's Top Story
This past weekend, the horror sequel Insidious: Chapter 2 opened to over $41 million in domestic box office, which broke two records. The opening Friday of Insidious 2 was the biggest horror debut of 2013 (thus far). More significantly, the opening weekend was the biggest live action September opening ever (though that may just say more about what a low attendance month September usually is). The horror-centric production company Blumhouse Productions (also home to Paranormal Activity and Sinister) specializes in these sorts of films which can be made on a smaller budget ($5 million in the case of Insidious: Chapter 2), and with audiences continuing to turn out for them, Blumhouse is not going to be stopping anytime soon. And so, Leigh Whannell, who wrote the first two Insidious movies, has signed on to write Insidious 3 as well. Director James Wan has moved on to the Fast & Furious franchise with next year's seventh film (and has stated a desire in leaving horror for a while), so Blumhouse is most likely looking for a replacement for Wan for Insidious 3. It's not yet known if previous actors like Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne will be returning for Insidious 3. The winning post-Paranormal Activity formula for Blumhouse films appears to be using marquee name stars that aren't so expensive as to raise the budget too much (such as Ethan Hawke in Sinister and The Purge). The latest actor to apparently fall into that sweet spot between "affordable" and "box office draw" is Aaron Eckhart, who has signed with Blumhouse to star in the exorcism horror movie Incarnate. Director Brad Peyton will make Incarnate his third feature film after debuting with Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore, and most recently directing Journey 2: The Mysterious Island. Aaron Eckhart will star in Incarnate as an exorcist who excels in his profession due to his ability to "tap into the subconscious of the possessed," but is challenged when his latest client is a 9-year-old boy who is possessed by a demon from the exorcist's past.
Fresh Developments This Week
We've been hearing a fair amount lately about Aaron Paul's post-Breaking Bad plans (the Need for Speed videogame movie, Joshua in the Biblical epic Exodus, and the indie drama Hellion). Bryan Cranston himself, however, has been pretty much a non-presence in the news, excluding two movies that are already long wrapped (the indie crime thriller Cold Comes the Night and the Godzilla reboot). We learned this week what Cranston's next film role after Walter White will be, and it's got "awards season" written all over it. Cranston has signed to play blacklisted Hollywood Ten member screenwriter Dalton Trumbo in a biopic called Trumbo (not to be confused with the 2007 documentary of the same title). Trumbo will be directed by Jay Roach, who is most famous for directing the three Austin Powers, Meet the Parents, and Meet the Fockers, but of late who has transitioned to directing more political movies like Recount, The Campaign, and Game Change. Dalton Trumbo was blacklisted for refusing to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee, but continued to work in Hollywood under "fronts", including two movies for which he won an Academy Award (The Brave One and Roman Holiday, awarded posthumously). Dalton Trumbo helped break the blacklist when he received credit for Exodus and Spartacus. Trumbo's last film as screenwriter was the 1973 prison movie Papillon, starring Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman. Filming of Trumbo is expected to start in early 2014.
There are U.S. presidents who were always famous and popular, those who quickly descended into obscurity, and then other presidents whose public popularity has always vacillated. The 28th POTUS, Woodrow Wilson, is arguably in that latter group. President from 1913 to 1921, Woodrow Wilson was a leader of the Progressive movement, and an adamant anti-war advocate who eventually became convinced of the importance of the United States becoming involved in World War I. And yet, today, Wilson probably wouldn't even make most people's lists of the ten most important presidents (presuming they can even list ten United States Presidents, of course). Reviving the reputation of Woodrow Wilson might just be what Leonardo DiCaprio had on his mind this week when it was announced that his Appian Way production company is partnering with Warner Bros for an adaptation of the recently published biography Wilson by A. Scott Berg. In addition to producing, Leonardo DiCaprio will also star as the 28th President. It's worth noting, however, that with neither a screenwriter nor a director announced, Wilson is probably at least a few years away from actually happening. Whichever year Warner Bros eventually picks in this decade for its release will coincide with the 100th anniversary of an important event in Wilson's presidential career.
Fans of Michael Fassbender may have been disappointed when the departure of director Lynne Ramsay from the western Jane Got Her Gun led to the actor also departing the project. This week, however, we learned that the movie he's been quietly developing with short film director John Maclean will itself be a western called Slow West. There's really no other details right now, except that Fassbender will be joined by Ben Mendelsohn (Animal Kingdom, Killing Them Softly) and Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Road, Let Me In). Funding comes from the U.K. and New Zealand, and filming is scheduled to film in the latter location later this year.
The movie's been out for seven years now, so this writer presumes its safe to talk about the ending of The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift, but if you're still spoiler-conscious, stop reading now. Still there? So, yes, the ending of that third released movie created something of a confusing chronology for the three Fast & Furious movies that followed it, because they all took place before we see Vin Diesel's cameo as Dominic Toretto in the final scene. So, for people who actually spend time thinking about the intra-film continuity of the Fast & Furious franchise, the question has lingered about when and how Tokyo Drift would be tied back in. Well, we now have an idea, because Lucas Black has signed to reprise his character of Sean Boswell for not just Fast & Furious 7, but also movies #8 and #9, as part of the cast of what will become the franchise's third de facto trilogy. This move will mean that future audiences who want to watch the franchise in chronological order will have to watch them in this order: 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 3, 7, 8, 9. Fast & Furious 7 will be released by Universal Pictures on July 11, 2014.
In late 2009 to early 2010, if you were part of EA's target demographic, you really couldn't escape the publicity around their video game Dante's Inferno. And then, the game came out, the reviews were negative/mixed, the sales were "so so," and it's three and a half years later, and there's still no confirmation of a sequel game. Hollywood, however, doesn't always adapt the movies that would seem the most obvious sources (or when they should be adapted), so, why shouldn't it work in reverse? In other words, despite all of the aforementioned, Universal Pictures is still moving ahead with plans for a feature film based on the Dante's Inferno video game (which itself was a graphically gory action game only very loosely based on anything Dante Alighieri actually wrote). The reason we know that Universal is moving ahead with the movie is that they have started talks with director Fede Alvarez, who did a better job with the reboot of Evil Dead earlier this year than many were expecting (ie, it wasn't a catastrophe and/or abomination of horror filmmaking). The latest screenplay draft of the Dante's Inferno adaptation was by Jay Basu (who wrote the upcoming DTV sequel Monsters: Dark Continent), working from a first draft by Bruce McKenna (who worked on episodes of HBO's Band of Brothers and The Pacific).
Rotten Ideas of the Week
One of the most distracting blips in the otherwise fairly straight line that is Adam Sandler's film career is the 2002 movie Punch-Drunk Love that he starred in for director Paul Thomas Anderson (the movie he directed in between Magnolia and There Will Be Blood). Well, it's been over ten years since then, and now, Adam Sandler is again in talks to work with an acclaimed director on his fourth movie. That director is Tom McCarthy, whose first three movies were The Station Agent, The Visitor, and Win Win, and the movie in question is called The Cobbler. If Sandler signs on, he will play a modern day cobbler who has the "ability to metaphysically step into the lives of the people whose shoes he repairs." Coincidentally, that premise actually sounds like it could have been one of Cartman's movie pitches in the South Park episode "AWESOM-O." This will be, however, a Tom McCarthy indie film, so the eventual result will surely be much different than if it was yet another Happy Madison "comedy" production. Consider The Cobbler a "borderline" movie caught somewhere in the limbo between the track records of McCarthy and Sandler.
Part of the allure of the 2010 monster movie Trollhunter was precisely how Norwegian it was, all of which was completely appropriate because of how inherently Scandinavian/Norwegian the myths of trolls are. It's exactly the sort of movie that would seem to lose its raison d'etre as an English language remake (including the fact that the movie also had a sense of humor about itself). Anyway, not long after the U.S. release of Trollhunter, Chris Columbus and his 1492 Productions started development of an English language remake anyway, and this week, we found out that it's going to be happening this winter while there's still snow on the ground. The Trollhunter remake will be directed by Neil Marshall, who has something of a mixed record as a director (Dog Soldiers and The Descent were "Fresh"; Doomsday and Centurion were "Rotten"). You can watch the original Trollhunter online via Netflix's "Watch Instantly" section.
It takes an extra something special to be the worst-reviewed movie on Vince Vaughn's RT Tomatometer, but that's the distinction obtained by the 2009 "comedy" Couples Retreat. This week, it was confirmed that Universal Pictures has greenlit a movie called Term Life that will reunite Vince Vaughn with that movie's director Peter Billingsley. Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit, Ender's Game) will also costar as the daughter of Vaughn's character, who will be a criminal in trouble with the mob who takes out a life insurance policy that will only pay out if he can stay alive for 21 days. Term Life is an adaptation of an Image Comics title so treasured by the company that they allow the "official site" to be a broken mess as the big movie adaptation is announced.
Jack Black is now in negotiations with Sony Pictures to star in their long-planned feature film adaptation of the popular R.L. Stine "scary" children's book series Goosebumps. As long as the existence of a Goosebumps movie project has been around, the obvious question has been how one movie would adapt a book franchise with dozens of standalone stories. We now know the answer is that Jack Black will play an R.L. Stine-esque author character "whose scary characters literally leap off the page, forcing him to hide from his own creepy creations." So, it's basically like a cross between A Night at the Museum and John Carpenter's In the Mouth of Madness. But probably with more talking ventriloquist's dummies. Goosebumps will also mark the third time that Jack Black has worked with director Rob Letterman, who also directed Black in Gulliver's Travels and the DreamWorks Animation movie Shark Tale. This announcement was rather uncoincidentally made on Friday the 13th (but late enough in the day to miss last week's Ketchup cut).

- Related: Varsity Magazine - The QB Question
A funny thing happened to Chase Knox on his way to New York City, Columbia University and the Ivy League -- fate and a couple of former NFL quarterbacks intervened on his behalf.
As a result, Knox -- the "other'' California quarterback; the one not named Bart Houston, whose arrival has been delayed due to injury -- ended up in Madison and on the UW roster for training camp.
"Everything just fell into place,'' said Knox, a freshman from San Diego.
Little did he know that when he got to camp that sophomore quarterback Joe Brennan, the backup to Russell Wilson last season, would be seeking to transfer to another school.
That has elevated Knox to No. 4 on the depth chart behind Danny O'Brien, Curt Phillips and Joel Stave -- in no particular order since the rotation has yet to be determined among the top three.
In the meantime, Knox has summarily assumed the role of scout team quarterback.
"He's a great fit, a great kid, and he has done a great job,'' gushed Wisconsin offensive coordinator Matt Canada. "He's an unbelievably intelligent football player.
"Everything that has been installed, he knows front to back. He can get on the board and teach it to you right now. He knows the system, he knows the signals, he knows everything. He's a special kid.''
Knox also knows what the Badgers want out of him, for now.
"I want to play some day,'' he said. "But I want to come in and work as hard as I can every day and continue to learn from all of these guys, master the offense and do whatever I have to do.''
So how did he wind up at Wisconsin?
Some Pac-12 schools -- Oregon State, UCLA and Arizona State -- had expressed mild interest during the recruiting process. But nobody was willing to make a strong commitment.
Knox settled on Columbia, an FCS program, because "I just wanted a strong Ivy League school.''
That was before he crossed paths with Canada and UW linebackers coach Andy Buh.
"Coach Buh initiated it all,'' Knox said.
Buh, a California native (Escondido), still has many contacts in the state from his previous coaching stops at San Diego State, Fresno State and Stanford.
"So we were doing some recruiting, we were out there looking,'' Canada said of their recruiting foray into Southern California, "and we talked to a couple of people about our situation.''
The word got out to people like San Diego-based quarterback guru George Whitfield. In turn, Buh and Canada heard nothing but good things about Knox from a variety of sources.
"We then had a couple of guys call on his behalf,'' Canada said. "And that carries a lot of weight when a guy in the Hall of Fame calls you. Steve Young and Jeff Garcia were the two calls.''
Young, a member of the college football and pro football halls of fame, was the MVP of the NFL in 1992 and 1994 and the MVP of Super Bowl XXIX. Garcia was a four-time Pro Bowler.
Both felt Knox should not be overlooked because he might be undersized. He's listed at 6-1.
Beyond that, Canada said, "Their point was, 'Here's a great person and intelligent football player and we think he deserves a shot.''' Buh, Canada and UW coach Bret Bielema agreed.
"He has come in here,'' Canada said, "and he has not disappointed.''
As fate would have it, Knox is now playing in Madison after playing for Madison.
Knox played two years at Madison High School in San Diego.
His transfer from Brophy Prep in Phoenix, Ariz., to Madison High became quite a controversy.
The California Interscholastic Federation, at one point, ruled that Knox had made an "invalid chance of residency'' and forced Madison High to forfeit all 11 victories in which Knox had played.
That included the 2010 Division IV San Diego section championship game at Qualcomm Stadium.
Knox completed 20-of-32 passes for a career-high 385 yards and three touchdowns in leading Madison to a 40-14 win over Valley Center in that title game.
After Knox was declared retroactively ineligible, the Knox family fought back by suing the CIF and winning the case, which restored Knox's eligibility and all the victories to Madison High.
"I wanted the wins for the team,'' Knox said. "For me personally I just wanted to play my senior year, which wasn't going to happen if that (the lawsuit) didn't go through, so obviously that was huge.
"It just taught me to put things that are unimportant behind you and it taught me focus. That whole season I had to focus on things that I could control and not the things that I couldn't.''
While Knox has been toiling as a scout team quarterback against UW's No. 1 defense in training camp, Canada has been in the process of evaluating O'Brien, Phillips and Stave for the No. 1 job.
"Camp is camp, they're up and down,'' Canada said. "Obviously, it's getting closer and closer to that game (the Sept. 1 opener against Northern Iowa) every second that ticks.
"We will continue to evaluate. Each of them has tremendous strengths. Joel Stave is a big-armed guy; Joel is a big-time football player, no question. But he's a freshman who has never played.
"Curt Phillips has played in some games here and he has been around for a long time. He's battling back (from three ACL surgeries) and knocking the rust off.
"Danny O'Brien is new to our program, but he has game experience (17 starts at Maryland). You can see that when he's out there playing.
"As you sit here and watch,'' Canada said, "it's not like you can look out there and say, 'These two guys are good and when that other guy is in there, you can tell (the difference).'
"We've got three guys who are playing pretty well.
"It's not a problem, it's a tremendous opportunity.''

Police counting on artist's help in Archival case-A A +A
Sunday, May 4, 2014
A CARTOGRAPHER helps the police arrest a criminal by sketching the culprit's face based on descriptions given to him by witnesses.
Elmer "Spider" Herrera is no stranger to the job.
After the ambush-slay of lawyer Noel Archival and two companions in Dalaguete last Feb. 18, the Cebu Provincial Intelligence Branch (PIB) hired Herrera's services.
Herrera, in his affidavit, said he made three sketches of men who may be involved in the killing of Archival and his companions.
He said none of his sketches resembled the faces of five Highway Patrol Group (HPG) 7 officials, who were named respondents in the multiple murder and frustrated murder complaints.
The HPG 7 officials are Supt. Romualdo Iglesia, Chief Insp. Eduardo Mara, Senior Insp. Joselito Lerion, SPO4 Edwin Galan, and PO1 Alex Bacani.
Their lawyer Inocencio de la Cerna said he is wondering if the Special Investigation Task Group (SITG) Archival has stopped pursuing the men portrayed in the sketches after the filing of the complaints.
Herrera said he made his first sketch based on the description of the incident's lone survivor, Paolo Cortes.
A few days after, he made another sketch of the passengers of the gray pick-up type vehicle used by the assailants based on the account of a carwash owner in Cebu City.
"I sketched the face of the passenger seated at the back of the pick-up as described by the owner, Jake, wearing sunglasses, a ball cap and stripe sweat shirt," said Herrera.
He said Jake noticed the man had high cheekbones, an earring in his left ear, a missing tooth and a birth mark on his right hand.
Supt. Rodolfo Albotra, PIB chief, sent Herrera to Dalaguete Police Station to make another sketch of a suspect described by another witness, a habal-habal (motorcycle-for-hire) driver, who saw the driver of a gray pick-up type vehicle and the passenger in the backseat.
The driver, the witness said, asked which way was to Dalaguete. His description of the passenger matched that of the carwash boy in Cebu City.
"I discontinued making a cartographic sketch after the habal-habal driver described the same face who was seen by Mr. Cortes at the courtroom of Dumaguete RTC (Regional Trial Court) and the one who drove the silver gray pick-up," said Herrera.

text: Close Tweet0 Share0 Comment0 Share0 Share0 Stumble It0 Print0 More The Strike Zone Red Sox drop ninth straight game in walk-off loss to Rays by Jon Tayler Email Posted: Sat May. 24, 2014 Updated: Sat Jun. 14, 2014 Tampa Bay got its third straight walk-off win by beating Boston in the 15th. (Brian Blanco/Getty Images)Everything went right for the Red Sox in 2013 as they bulldozed their way to a World Series title. So far in 2014, just about everything has gone wrong in Boston.On Saturday, the Red Sox built a 5-0 lead in the first inning against the Rays and looked poised to snap a season-worst eight-game losing streak. Instead, the team coughed up its lead, then struggled through 15 brutal innings before finally falling to the Rays, 6-5, on a walk-off error/single by Desmond Jennings. Boston's nine-game losing streak is its worst-such skid since 2001 and has dropped it firmly into the AL East cellar at 20-28, a whopping seven games behind the Blue Jays for first place. The ninth straight loss marks the most consecutive losses for a defending champ since the 1998 Marlins.It all started so promisingly for the Sox, who hung five first-inning runs on David Price. Boston's first four hitters all reached thanks to two singles, a walk and a hit by pitch of Mike Carp that drove in the first run of the game. A sacrifice fly from Jonny Gomes followed, then a three-run homer off the bat of A.J. Pierzynski to make it 5-0 with just one out in the game. But the Red Sox were unable to do any more damage in the frame, which would prove costly as starter Jake Peavy gradually gave away the lead over the next five innings. Tampa Bay got one back in the bottom of the second on a sacrifice fly, another run in the fourth on an RBI single by Logan Forsythe, and then tied the game in the fifth on RBI hits from Matt Joyce and Brandon Guyer.CORCORAN: An All-Star team made up of players on the DLAs Peavy faltered, Price buckled down to keep the Red Sox off the board. After David Ross hit an infield single with two outs in the first, Price retired 19 of the next 20 hitters he faced, allowing just a walk to Gomes in the third. He held Boston hitless until the eighth, when Xander Bogaerts led the inning off with a single, but then got Dustin Pedroia to strike out looking and induced a double-play groundball from Carp to finish the frame and his day. Despite a 34-pitch first inning, Price breezed through the next seven innings on just 65 pitches, including two 10-pitch innings and a seven-pitch sixth. That helped make up for an uncharacteristically wild day from Price, who walked two hitters for the first time in a regular-season game since Sept. 15 against Minnesota, when he handed out three free passes; he walked two in his only start of the ALDS last year against Boston.Even getting Price out of the game did nothing for Boston's moribund offense. Over the next seven innings, Red Sox hitters picked up a single hit -- a single by Brock Holt in the 13th off Cesar Ramos -- and three walks while striking out nine times. For the game, Boston batters whiffed 16 times. Holt and Bogaerts were the only Sox players to pick up at least two hits (Holt went 2-for-7, Bogaerts 2-for-5), and Bogaerts was forced to leave the game in the 12th inning with what the team called a hamstring cramp.Boston has to hope Bogaerts' injury is a minor one, as it simply can't afford to lose any more players. Before the game, the Red Sox placed Shane Victorino on the disabled list with a hamstring strain suffered running the bases Friday. Mike Napoli remains sidelined with a variety of issues, ranging from a dislocated finger to flu symptoms to cramps in his calf and hamstring, and is unlikely to play before Tuesday.The team is also down starting third baseman Will Middlebrooks, who is on the DL with a broken finger, and won't be getting Stephen Drew on the roster for another week. Daniel Nava is back with the club in Victorino's stead, but the Sox are incredibly short-handed at as bad a time as any.COROCRAN: Can these 2013 contenders get it straight in 2014?The Rays, meanwhile, are taking advantage of Boston's woes to pick themselves out of the division basement. This was Tampa's third consecutive walk-off win. Much of the credit can go to Price and the bullpen (which threw seven scoreless innings), but Tampa's offense also deserves some props for pulling the team out of the 5-0 hole. But the Rays got some major help from Boston's cratering offense and some brutal defense by reliever Andrew Miller.With runners on first and second and none out in the bottom of the 15th, Miller got Jennings to tap a ball right back to the mound, setting up a tailor-made double play ... except Miller ended up flinging the ball into center field, letting Cole Figueroa come around to score the winning run and giving Tampa Bay its third-straight walk-off win. The Rays will have a shot at a sweep Sunday afternoon when they send Jake Odorizzi up against fill-in starter Brandon Workman, who's taking the place of the injured Felix Doubront in Boston's rotation. If the Red Sox can't snap the skid Sunday, they'll be making some unpleasant history, as the franchise hasn't lost 10 straight regular-season games since 1976. But at least the Red Sox still have a ways to go to break the team record for consecutive losses, set way back in 1926, when the team dropped 17 straight games en route to a 46-107 season. It's unlikely Boston will finish with 100-plus losses, which the team hasn't done since 1965, but history is already against them: No Red Sox team has ever lost nine or more in a row and made the postseason.
