Over the years, 'food' has gained increasing importance in people's life. Newer varieties, recipes and plans are introduced daily and nutritionists exert a lot in designing diet plans apt for your height, weight & requirement. One unique kind of diet popular these days is named as the "Paleolithic diet" or "Paleo diet" for short. This modern nutritional diet derives its origin from the acknowledged ancient diet of nomadic group of people that existed during the Paleolithic era dating back approximately 10,000 years. Hence the Paleo diet assumes alternative names such as 'Stone Age diet', 'Hunter- gatherer diet' or 'Caveman diet'.
The Paleo diet constitutes types of foods that were available to ancient sapiens, before the onset of agricultural practices. Examples of foods used then were understandably natural like wild animal sources & non- cultivated edible wild plants including meat, fish, eggs, milk, fruits & vegetables etc. It seems pretty obvious from the afore mentioned list of food items that people consuming them would have been matchless in terms of health, strength, nutritional levels, immunity and fitness. Natural food essence reached them without the impurities of artificial man- induced modifications. It is this very property of the ancient Paleo diet that has instilled interest among nutritionists to promote it nowadays. Various researchers have reported Paleo Diet as a cure for obesity, metabolic syndrome and Diabetes.
The Paleo diet does not include cultivated food crops or reared livestock farming products such as grains, legumes, dairy products, salt, refined sugar, and processed oils because these things were out of question in Paleolithic era. They neither were skilled enough nor equipped sufficiently. Their diets were like a 'blessing in disguise' for them. However a drawback of Paleo diet is deduced to be the deficiency of Calcium which needs to be supplemented to prevent bone and teeth weakness.
Paleo diet basically consists of the following food groups;
Vegetables: consuming raw vegetables is the key to a healthy life and the paleo diet secret resides in this very fact. The diet plan essentially includes all types of vegetables.
Fruits: fruits contain necessary vitamins and mineral required by human body. Including larger proportions of fruits of all types in the diet boosts health.
Nuts and seeds: Nuts and seeds like almond, pistachio, walnuts, pecans, cashew, pumpkin seeds, hazelnuts, sesame seeds and many more help boost health.
Herbs: in our modern lifestyle, the food we eat has, to a great extent, excluded various types of beneficial herbs. Ingredients like parsley, thyme, basil, tarragon, chives, oregano, sage, dill, bay leaves, coriander, lavender, mint, and rosemary not only make the food tastier but they also help make the food nutritious.
Natural spices: these include garlic, cloves, chilies, turmeric, cumin, cinnamon, onions, black pepper, hot peppers, star anise, mustard seeds, fennel seeds, cayenne pepper, nutmeg, paprika, and ginger.
Animal protein and fats: these two food groups are also very important as they give the body its necessary energy required to stay healthy.
Food like grains, wheat, rice or soy should be strictly avoided when following a paleo diet.
A renowned PhD researcher Mr. Loren Cordain has dedicated his life in elucidating the benefits of Paleo diet. He has evidenced that the suggested and approved USDA's food pyramid is not in agreement with the kind of diet that supplemented human evolution over a period of billions of years. Paleo diet is natural and health- friendly with no serious nutritional omissions unlike other diet plans that are either too saturated in Carbs or else Fats. It also provides an ideal balance between unsaturated and saturated fats upon body consumption. Tremendous rapid research has been done on benefits of Paleo diet incorporation in our modern diet consumptions. It also eliminates the chances of high Omega-6 / Omega-3 ratios (types of fats). It offers a safe range i.e. between 1:1 to 3:1. Modern day diets have an upsetting ratio of the two thereby imposing health threats like cardiovascular diseases, oncogenic symptoms and intensify many inflammatory diseases.
Paleo diet has been a long lost secret to a healthy strong life. The tribes of hunter- gatherer and nomadic communities were physically fit, tall and firm, had straight teeth and perfect eye-sights and were rarely inflicted with diseases common nowadays such as arthritis, diabetes, heart strokes, depression, hypertension etc. One huge obstacle in the perfection of Paleo diet was that without the knowledge of fire and cooking, many food items were excluded. Their toxins rendered them inedible and a lot of energy remained trapped and didn't become part of Paleolithic food chains. However, sense of cooking these foods was a major breakthrough in what we call the Neolithic Diet.
Clinical trials have depicted that the epidemic levels of cardiovascular diseases, obesity & diabetes are a direct result of Westernized, artificial and synthetic additives to our diets and that switching to Paleo Diet can optimize such risks. However, paleo diet has been a subject of various controversies. Adversaries argue that the people nowadays have adapted to a broadened range of food items like whole grain, dairy, legumes, pulses etc whereas supporters answer that Paleo diet coincides with the evolutionary logic and is adapted by our genomes. Other foods can trigger inflammatory diseases at cellular level.
Experiments suggested that apart from being a very appropriate and effective weight loss diet plan, Paleo Diet resulted in reduced blood pressure, decreased fasting insulin levels (11.5 to 3.6 µU/ml),lower insulin secretion after ingestion of glucose, lower levels of total & LDL- cholesterol as well as of triglycerides and improved blood vessel elasticity, muscle mass and hormonal balance. As a whole this means that Paleo Diet promises reduced risks of Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular ailments. This is a major breakthrough as prevention is better than treatment! Thus there are innumerable benefits that popularize the Paleo Diet, which was first introduced by gastroenterologist Walter L. Voegtlin in mid 70s and is embraced since then. The genetic adaptability to the diet is the basis of its beneficial value and genes are expected to have been conserved since the advent of Agriculture era.
( For more information on Paleo Diet go on Wikipedia )
The Levels of Energy in Paleo Diet
The Paleo diet changes the levels of energy in an individual and the boost of energy can be felt by its follower than before he/she started the diet. It is because of the consumption of all the healthy proteins which are present in the important elements of the diet. The body will function very well and in a better way than before because all of the artificial sugars and the toxins are removed from the diet. As a result you won't feel a worn out effect in the body and also the feeling of the body to crash will not be there either. This positive and constructive feeling will motivate you further to enjoy this fantastic diet regime.
The credit of all the feelings mentioned above would go to the eating habits controlled by the body, and it will not only improve your abilities to tackle the day to day activities but also it will help you enjoy a good and peaceful night sleep. Now it won't happen on its own, you would need to motivate yourself by keeping under control and more active. There are very interesting mental benefits which a follower of Paleo diet could experience;
- The attitude for an individual will be improved and an individual would feel very positive because there will be no effects on the body which will show tiredness.
- With all the positive energy, there will be a feeling of productiveness, which will improve the work quality being done by the individual.
- It will also help you to focus on the diet program which you are following, because it is very easy to go wrong when people do not study completely about their diet plans and eating habits. With a perfect diet like Paleo diet, it will also help you to stay under control and more active than ever. After that, nothing possibly could go wrong.
Physical Improvements in Paleo Diet
You will be really amazed by the impact of Paleo diet on your body, but you won't see them straight away. They will show by themselves within your body and you would feel it.
Less Bloating
When an individual consumes an unhealthy diet, it results in the occurrence of bloating around the body, which could be very disruptive to your abs. In Paleo diet, it helps you to reduce the bloating effect and helps you to attain flatter abs. It is because the diet revolves around the food items which are enriched with the natural sources of fibre which are in unprocessed form. It is also because of the high consumption of water and a dramatic reduction of salt in the diet, which is not good for your body.
Your abs will look better without bloating and it will also be helpful to keep the tissues in the abdominal area from being worn out. It will also help you to get more defined muscles in the abs area.
Improved Measurements
Paleo diet will allow you to have a better series of measurements around the body, which will include the toned down measurements because you will end up having leaner body with lean muscles and less fat tissues. For Example, you may be able to lose a couple of inches of your chest area in about 2 months time, and an additional lose of 2 to 4 inches from your hip area. Now it could prove very difficult to lose in those specific areas but it is very much possible once you commit yourself to Paleo diet sincerely.
Controlling Eating Habits
When you are following the Paleo diet, then it is very easy for you to control your eating habits. The majority of food items which are in Paleo diet are very delicious and filling, which will help you to keep away from craving for more. This is very much a case when it comes to the natural fibres obtained from the vegetables and the high level consumption of water. The filling foods would also help you to control your eating over time routine. It will definitely give your body something to look forward for a longer run.
A diet that mimicks our ancestral diet is the most suitable one for our well- being and health!

Have Fun Storming The Castle Lyrics
If I knew it'd be this way I'd do it all again- but, I'd only change one thing. If I was given every chance to change I'd make it a point to smile everyday. So I'm cynical I guess but what's left worth believing in? Wicked are the ones who dare to think outside the box. I guess it's righteous… making money in the name of God. Think about what's right and wrong and the thin grey line we all live on. We'll sing out all the pain. If this was my chance to shine, would I have to think twice? Cause it would come as no surprise if I did not know what to do. Sometimes your luck becomes a curse that you can't forget about. So I'm cynical I guess but what's left worth believing in? But you try and try... The revolution will be marketed and we're all just pawns in the matter. If it comes between the trends and the truth then I proudly would march with the latter.

You know what's hard to do? This. Clint Dempsey has never embraced the workmanlike Yankee style that many American players appear to have stuck in their chromosomes. The man takes risks. He's good at it. It's why he's good.
UPDATE: Clint Dempsey is even better that first reported. From Soccer By Ives
A few weeks after setting the single-season goal record for an American in the Premier League, Dempsey scored twice in Fulham's 3-0 victory over Bolton Wednesday to become the club's career leading goal scorer in the Premier League era with 33.

Athletes from around the world will again brave the most-challenging sport on skates as the Red Bull Crashed Ice World Championships sweep into St. Paul in late January.
The spectacle, scheduled for Jan. 24-26 — which also happens to be the first weekend of the St. Paul Winter Carnival — is expected to draw tens of thousands of spectators to downtown and lead to some serious spending. Last year, city officials estimated the event drew up to 100,000 people downtown, with athletes and tourists spending $20 million in St. Paul over the course of the weekend.
At a news conference Wednesday, Nov. 14, on the Xcel Energy Center's center ice, Mayor Chris Coleman said the 2012 Crashed Ice event "was too good not to do again."
"It was really magical," Coleman said.
Like last year, the 1,300-foot ice-covered course will snake downhill from the Cathedral of St. Paul and challenge competitors to keep their bones intact as they drop more than 130 feet from start to finish. New for 2013, though, is a four-story starting platform (last year was three stories) and greater distances between obstacles like the ice wall, jumps and rollers, said Team USA coach Charlie Wasley.
He called the new track a "skater's course," with more time for recovery between elements. Skaters will still reach speeds in excess of 40 mph, he said.
And why the taller starting platform?
"We wanted to make it more fun for the athletes," Wasley said.
That includes 100 U.S. competitors picked from eight regional qualifying events around the country, starting Dec. 2 in Chicago and culminating in St. Paul on Jan. 6.
Wasley said successful athletes come from various backgrounds — hockey, downhill skiing, speed skating — but all need "speed, agility, body control and toughness," he said.
Registration information is available at redbullcrashedice.com.
The event will force closures on John Ireland Boulevard and Summit Avenue and detour portions of Metro Transit routes 21 and 65, but Red Bull will provide parking and shuttle services to the cathedral Thursday through Saturday. Red Bull also coordinates and pays for police coverage during the event, so the financial outlay by the city is almost nothing, staff said.
The St. Paul stop is just one of five in the 2013 Red Bull Crashed Ice World Championships. Other stops are Niagara Falls in Ontario, Landgraaf in the Netherlands, Quebec and Lausanne, Switzerland.
The energy-drink maker started sponsoring the sport in 2001 and held races in Duluth in 2003 and 2004.

At the time of my retirement, in 1993, from the Upper Merion Area School District, I was informed by my retirement system, Pennsylvania Schools Employees Retirement System (PSERS) that I could expect to receive a cost of living allowance (COLA) every five years. Thus far, I have received two; one in 1998, and one in 2003. The retiree's from PSERS have not received a COLA in 10 years.
In order for us to receive a COLA, the legislature and the governor have to approve the cost of living allowance while in session. The governor and the members of the legislature enjoy a COLA automatically every year, yet they have ignored our pleas for an increase for 10 years. How would you like to live on an income that is 10 years old in today's economy?
It has become obvious that the politicians in Pennsylvania, and I might as well include Washington, D.C., have no compassion nor sympathy for senior citizens. The fact that President Obama froze Social Security COLAs in 2010 and 2011 did not help matters either. As a result of this depredation of income, I find myself shopping at Walmart and dining at Burger King instead of enjoying my 'golden years' in retirement.
Over the past 10 years, the governors and the legislatures in PA have passed laws that lead to the underfunding of our retirement system (PSERS) to the point that PSERS is presently underfunded by $44 billion. Come on taxpayers of PA, let's tell our politicians to stop acting like ostriches and get their heads out of the ground.

Tucked into the scenic rolling hills of the Western Highlands, 439-acre Black Rock offers a variety of outdoor activities. Steep, wooded ledges covered with pine, hemlock and oak provide the setting for Black Rock Pond.
Both fact and legend account for the name "Black Rock." Early settlers to the Naugatuck Valley were given rights to mine graphite lead by the resident Indians around 1657. The description given the contrasting darker-colored rock material has persisted through the years.
Early use of the area by Native Americans has been confirmed by the arrowheads and stone implements. Artifacts unearthed at the park belonged to members of the Mohegan, Paugussett and Tunxis tribes.
Black Rock was given to the people of Connecticut in 1926 through the efforts of Black Rock Forest, Incorporated, a citizen's conservation group interested in woodland preservation. Development of access roads and facilities later became part of the Civilian Conservation Corps' economic recovery program.

solenodon (sōlē´nədŏn), venomous insectivorous mammal, genus Solenodon, found in the West Indies. Related to moles and shrews, the solenodon resembles a rat with an elongated snout and coarse, shaggy fur. Its body is about 14 in. (36 cm) long, and its naked, scaly tail c.9 in. (23 cm) long. It is the only living mammal that has specialized teeth (grooved incisors) that allow it to inject poisonous saliva into its prey. Solenodons are chiefly nocturnal; they eat insects, lizards, frogs, and other small animals, as well as carrion. Easily irritated, they fly into sudden rages, screaming and biting without provocation.
There are two surviving solenodon species. S. cubanus, found in the Bayama Mts. of Cuba, is rusty brown with black on its back and throat; S. paradoxus, found on Hispaniola, is darker brown with a yellowish face and a ruff of hair about the shoulders. Two extinct species are known from remains on Cuba and Hispaniola.
Solenodons are slow breeders, bearing a single litter of one to three young each year. Their numbers have been greatly reduced since the introduction of predators such as the mongoose, the cat, and the dog and as a result of habitat destruction, and they are now threatened with extinction. They are classified in the phylum Chordata, subphylum Vertebrata, class Mammalia, order Soricomorpha, family Solenodontidae.

Nutritional care and support for patients with tuberculosis
This guideline provides guidance on the principles and evidence-informed recommendations on the nutritional care and support for patients with tuberculosis.
Undernutrition increases the risk of tuberculosis and in turn tuberculosis can lead to malnutrition. Undernutrition is therefore highly prevalent among people with tuberculosis. It has been demonstrated that undernutrition is a risk factor for progression from tuberculosis infection to active tuberculosis disease and that undernutrition at the time of diagnosis of active tuberculosis is a predictor of increased risk of death and tuberculosis relapse. However, the evidence concerning the effect of nutritional supplementation on tuberculosis prevention and health outcomes among people with tuberculosis had not previously been systematically reviewed.
Member States have requested guidance from the World Health Organization (WHO) on nutritional care and support for patients with tuberculosis.
The primary audience for the guideline is health workers providing care to people with tuberculosis. However, the guideline is also intended for a wider audience including policy-makers, their expert advisers, and technical and programme staff at organizations involved in the design, implementation and scaling-up of nutrition actions for public health.

Cord Nets Game-Winner in Shoremen's First Win Over Top-Five Team Since 2008
CARLISLE, PA -- Junior attackman Bennett Cord (Gaithersburg, MD/Gaithersburg) scored the game-winning goal with 30 seconds left in overtime as visiting Washington College upended fifth-ranked host Dickinson, 10-9, in overtime in a Centennial Conference men's lacrosse game this afternoon in Carlisle, PA. The Shoremen improved to 8-2 overall with their eighth consecutive victory and, more importantly, remained unbeaten in conference play, improving to 5-0 in the league. Dickinson had its own eight-game win streak snapped with the loss and fell to 9-2 and 3-1.
Washington remained in sole possession of first place in the Centennial Conference with the win, one-half game in front of Gettysburg's 4-0 mark. The victory was the Shoremen's first over a top-five opponent since a 12-9 win over then fourth-ranked Lynchburg in the NCAA Division III Tournament on May 11, 2008. It was also Washington's first win over Dickinson since a 12-8 triumph on April 12, 2008.
Dickinson got on the board first when Nick Leon found WIll Scott for a goal with 10:18 to go in the first quarter. The Shoremen evened things up when senior midfielder Dave Lundquist (West Chester, PA/Henderson) caused a turnover, scooped up a ground ball, and raced down the field for a goal with 8:33 left. The Red Devils regained the lead on a goal by Sam Abramson off an assist from Ward Gruppo with 5:40 remaining in the first. Washington evened the score again at 2-2 when Cord scooped up a ground ball off a rebounded shot and fired it home with 1:40 remaining in the first quarter.
The Red Devils opened the second-quarter scoring when Gruppo found Matt Cherry for a goal 34 seconds into the period. The Shoremen again answered as sophomore midfielder Hunter Nowicki (Baltimore, MD/Franklin) scored with 10:28 left in the second quarter to even the score at 3-3, but the Red Devils went back in front on a goal by Abramson off an assist by Brian Cannon with 7:53 left. Dickinson took the first two-goal lead of the game on a goal by Parker Waldron with 6:35 remaining in the second quarter, increasing the margin to 5-3. The Red Devils lead grew to 6-3 on a goal by Sam Greenberg off a Cherry assist with 4:01 to go before halftime. Cord cut the lead to 6-4 with a goal with 2:33 left and Dickinson took the two-goal advantage into the intermission.
Washington junior midfielder Patrick Coyle (Reisterstown, MD/Calvert Hall) got the Shoremen back to within a goal with the first score of the third quarter at 11:27. The Shoremen tied the score at 6-6 on a goal by sophomore attackman JD Campbell (Baltimore, MD/Mount St. Joseph) with 6:02 remaining in the third. Cherry countered with a goal off an assist by Scott with 3:49 remaining and a goal by Abramson off a Cherry assist with 3:01 to play in the period to give the Red Devils an 8-6 lead.
Coyle scored off a feed from Nowicki to open the fourth-quarter scoring with 12:32 remaining, to cut the lead to 8-7. Senior midfielder Tom Rixey (Virginia Beach, VA/Norfolk Academy) then evened the score at 8-8 with a goal with 7:44 left. The Shoremen then took their first lead of the game on a goal by Campbell off an assist by Coyle with 6:16 remaining in the fourth quarter. Dickinson found the equalizer with just 1:12 remaining in regulation as Gruppo scored off an assist from Abramson. Washington won the ensuing face-off and called timeout with 52 seconds left. Waldron caused a Washington turnover with 34 seconds remaining, Cherry fired a shot wide with eight seconds to go, and the fourth quarter ended with the game tied 9-9.
In overtime, Washington senior goalie Peter Stewart (Annapolis, MD/St. Mary's) saved a shot by Christian Beitel with 2:09 on the clock, leading to a successful Shoremen clear and timeout with 1:57 left. Freshman attackman Grant Hughes (Alexandria, VA/St. Stephen's & St. Agnes) found Cord for the game-winner with 30 seconds left after firing a shot of his own wide with 45 seconds to go.
Coyle led the Shoremen with three goals and an assist in the win, while Cord added two goals and one assist and Nowicki added a goal and an assist. Stewart had another outstanding game between the pipes, piling up 17 saves.
Abramson led the Red Devils with three goals and one assist, Cherry finished with two goals and two assists, Gruppo scored one goal and had two assists, and Scott added a goal and an assist.
Dickinson held a 47-31 advantage in shots in the game.
The Shoremen return to action one week from today with a 1:00 p.m. Centennial Conference home game against Gettysburg.

"We have decided we will separate," Kate Gosselin announced about 42 minutes into the "bombshell" June 22 episode of "Jon & Kate Plus 8."
Now that the mystery marital status of Jon and Kate Gosselin has been solved, the only remaining question is what we can expect to see on the show.
When hope disappears, so do ratings
One thing that's true about television, no matter the genre, is that happy doesn't dependably sell. Good television requires some conflict; when swords rattle to the same tune of blissful agreement, it's impossible to keep viewers' interest.
That said, when you can't squint for at least a glimmer of hope, you're probably shifting your gaze toward another channel. Where the couple and the show's ratings are concerned, a separation is a good thing, for no other reason than the possibility that it could all still work out.
If it becomes painfully obvious that divorce is the only option, viewers will tune out. Jon and Kate — and their plus 8 — are more appealing as a collective unit than they are diced into divorce-sized, made-for-TV portions.
Meet Jon, your newest C-list celeb
One upshot of the recession is that the C-list celebrity has largely gone the way of the hedge fund. C-listers aren't as ubiquitous as they were just a year ago, and they aren't just collecting money by virtue of the fact they exist.
However, Jon stands to change the game. His Barneys Co-op shopping trips have already been paparazzi fodder (not to mention his late-night outings with an alleged flame), he's been spotted in splashy Ed Hardy garb (the designer who courted Madonna and later Britney Spears), and several Manhattan-based PR firms are said to be looking into placing him, a newly single New York transplant, into some of the city's more publicity-hungry clubs.
Jon may now be moving into a world that has less to do with his family and more to do with his own personal fame, whether he realizes it now or not.
We wait for Kate to make a misstep
All eyes might look like they're on Jon, with his fascinating new bachelor-y Big Apple lifestyle, but the truth of the matter is that viewers want to know when Kate crosses the line.
There is some expectation that a man might be — or become — a bad dad. That's why Alec Baldwin can leave a cruel voicemail for his young daughter and still come out mostly unscathed.
But a bad mother? That's the stuff television and public perceptions are made of. The "plus 8" will be considered to be adjusting well right up until the point Kate spends a romantic weekend without the kids. The standards for a mother, single are not, are different. And the difference is only magnified once it's broadcast in HD.
And perhaps I misspoke. There is another question to be had: Why didn't Jon and Kate just walk away from the cameras when they had the chance? Television and its perks are fleeting. Family, on the other hand, does not have to be.

WASHINGTON, July 5 (UPI) -- With President Obama campaigning in Ohio and Pennsylvania, the administration accused China Thursday of illegally imposing import duties on U.S. vehicles.
U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk announced the United States is challenging China's imposition of anti-dumping and countervailing duties on more than $3 billion in exports of American-produced automobiles.
The United States has requested dispute settlement consultations with China at the World Trade Organization "in an attempt to eliminate these unfair duties, which appear to represent yet another abuse of trade remedies by China," the trade representative's office said in a statement.
At the White House, Obama aides said the announcement was not political, then slammed likely Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney for not supporting such actions in the past.
"The [import] duties disproportionately fall on General Motors and Chrysler products," White House press secretary Jay Carney told reporters, adding that the region visited by Obama this week "was also disproportionately affected."
He said Thursday's was the seventh such action taken against China, and, "The previous six have all been successful."
Carney said the Chinese were given a heads up about the action, which has been in the works for some time, but, "I think it underscores the president's commitment to American companies and American workers."
White House Communications Director Jen Psaki told reporters Romney had opposed a 2009 action by the president on Chinese tire imports.
"Many of you didn't read Mitt Romney's book," she said in regard to his opposition. "Along this trip, the president will meet many autoworkers. He will meet people impacted by this who would no question say something different so that's something to look out for."

Say you have some code like this:
% \PassOptionsToPackage{monochrome}{xcolor}
% \selectcolormodel{gray}
\node[fill=red] at (0,1) {text};
\node[fill=green] at (0,0.5) {text};
\node[fill=blue] at (0,0){text};
\node[fill=yellow] at (1,1) {text};
\node[fill=violet] at (1,0.5) {text};
\node[fill=orange] at (1,0) {text};
And you want to turn the resulting picture in grayscale colors. Is there a way to do this in LaTeX without using external tools (convert, imagemagick, etc.) and, of course, without having to manually change all the color values?
I already tried with the methods from how to create PDF in grayscale mode or TikZ figure only? and Monochrome in Tikz (see the commented code) but they both do not seem to work when the color is specified as a node option.
It would be also nice to know why the
\selectcolormodel{gray} method does not work in this context.

Basil Gogos, 1929-2017
Halloween is here. This year, I celebrate the life and and career of artist Basil Gogos who passed away on September 13.
"Basil single-handedly invented the painted monster magazine cover, turning images coined for exploitation into the finest of fine art - feral poses and bestial, skeletal faces splashed with all the colors of fright and passion."
— Tim Lucas, VideoWatchBlog.
My first Famous Monsters of Filmland was #12, June '61, the CURSE OF THE WEREWOLF cover. That issue ignited my passion for classic horror and it was Gogos' painting, howling at me from a magazine stand, that alerted me and invited me in. Growing up, I would spend hours studying his kinetic covers. Focus up close on details and it was abstract art: A fearless splash of vibrant colors and bold, energetic strokes. Only when you pulled back and looked at the whole thing did all the pieces somehow fit together as a recognizable portrait. But Gogo's supercharged paintings weren't mere portraits, they were interpretations. His work captured the subjects more vividly than any photograph could, and made them come alive.
"Make no mistake: From Basil Gogos emerged the Aurora models. From Basil Gogos came a new generation of artists and filmmakers. And from Basil Gogos crackled a vision that would forever define the icons that the Universal monsters are today."
— David Colton, webmaster at The Classic Horror Filmboard.
Gogos painted Frankenstein Monsters — and Bride — to grace a number of covers. Here, at top, is a sombre portrait for FM's special issue commemorating Boris Karloff's death in 1969. Below is a 1971 polychromatic rendition of Christopher Lee's patchwork Monster from Curse of Frankenstein.
I met Basil Gogos two years ago at Monsterpalooza in Burbank. Late one evening, he joined a group of us sitting with Sara Karloff in a hotel restaurant. He sat right next to me and we shook hands. I told him I was a fan of his. I refrained from telling him how very much he meant to me, I could have gone on and on, but I figured it's something he'd heard over and over again. It was late, he looked tired, and I just said "I'm a fan", he smiled, and that's all. And it was fine just like that.

Bernie Wrightson, 1948-2017
Bernie Wrightson passed away on Saturday, March 18, 2017. He was 68 years old. Wrightson had been ill for some time and had only recently announced that he was effectively retired, not to produce new art or attend conventions. You can read his obituary on his website: http://berniewrightson.com.
Bernie Wrightson's work in comics is legendary. As an illustrator, he was truly a giant of his field, one of the best ever. Witness his contribution to the history of Frankenstein as perhaps — and for many of us, undoubtedly — the finest illustrator yet to grace Mary Shelley's novel.
Working on and off for almost seven years, Wrightson produced forty-seven incredibly detailed illustrations. The 1831 version of the novel, illuminated with Wrightson's art, was first published in 1983.
Bernie Wrightson was a master of his art and his interpretation of Frankenstein will endure as his masterpiece.

Frankie's Holiday
The Monster is a reliable TV pitchman, a Halloween favorite, here making a rare Christmastime appearance. Beautifully done, genuinely touching, this one just might be an instant classic.
Frankie's Holiday was created by TBWA for Apple, with a judiciously cast Brad Garrett — all of 6'8" and deep-voiced — as The Monster. Garrett is perhaps best remembered for his supporting role in the sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond.
The Christmas electrodes are a nice touch.
Happy Holidays!

"Good Night, Whatever You Are"
John Zacherle died, having just turned 98, on Thursday, October 27, a few days short of Halloween, a holiday he essentially personified.
First as Roland out of Philadelphia, and more famously as Zacherley, the Cool Ghoul, in New York, he was a pioneering TV Horror Host. He was among those who introduced the Universal Classics to the first generation of Monster Kids. He was a revelator and, through the years, he remained a touchstone, a direct link back to one's own adolescence and our love of monsters. For those of us who never had the privilege of seeing him as a TV Host, we learned about him from Famous Monsters magazine and his horror-themed novelty records. Right to the end, he was proud of his accomplishments and still wore his long undertaker's coat to convention appearances.
Zacherle had not seen the 1931 FRANKENSTEIN until he introduced the film on his show. He would go on to present most of the Universal Frankensteins over the years, and he would go on to a cameo as a TV weatherman in a Frankenstein film, Frank Henenlotter' FRANKENHOOKER (1990).
To understand Zacherley's impact and enduring importance, I urge you to read David Colton's touching tribute on the Classic Horror Film Board.
See Zacherley in action on YouTube.
Here is an obituary from The New York Times.

The Villa Diodati
In 1816, Lord Byron rented the manor known as the Villa Diodati, near Cologny, on Lake Geneva. The house already had solid literary credentials. Its original owner, Giovanni Diodati, had translated the Bible into Italian and French, and the poet John Milton (whom Mary would quote in Frankenstein) is said to have vacationed there in 1639.
Byron was joined that fateful summer by his personal physician, John Polidori, and his guests: Percy Bysshe Shelley, Mary Godwin (soon to be Shelley), and Claire Claremont. It was here that ghosts stories were read aloud, and at the nearby guesthouse where she resided that Mary conceived of Frankenstein and first wrote these words that, slightly edited, would open chapter five of the book: "It was on a dreary night of November that I beheld my man completed…"
The villa still stands. It is the square building, right of center, in the GoogleEarth image below.

Mary Shelley, a Tell-Tale Moon, and the creation of Frankenstein
In her introduction to the 1831 edition of the novel, Mary described a dream in which she saw "the pale student of unhallowed arts kneeling beside the thing he had put together", and how "the hideous phantasm of a man" came alive "on the working of some powerful engine". Brought awake by the startling vision, Mary wrote, "I see them still; the very room, the dark parquet, the closed shutters, with the moonlight struggling through, and the sense I had that the glassy lake and white high Alps were beyond.
Now, the moment of revelation has been pinpointed.
Dr. Don Olson, an astrophysicist at Texas State University-San Marcos, practices the unconventional science of "forensic astronomy". Working with fellow scientists and students, matching the tantalizing clues found in text, archives and maps with the irrefutable logic of star charts, tide schedules and field expeditions, Dr. Olson has solved historical puzzles, revealing new information, new layers of meaning and a new appreciation for famous moments in history and art.
Among other discoveries, Olson and his team have re-dated Caesar's invasion of Britain in 55 BC; explained how a rare low tide doomed the Marines at Tarawa Beach in 1943, and how a rising moon led to the tragic sinking of the USS Indianapolis in 1945. In significant contributions to art history, Olson has pinpointed the exact locations and the precise moments captured in paintings by such artists as William Blake, Vincent Van Gogh and Edvard Munch, notably identifying the tortured sky in Munch's The Scream as the planet-spanning effect of the Krakatoa eruption. Olson can even tell the exact instant when Ansel Adams clicked the shutter on his most famous photograph.
In literature, Olson has studied Chaucer, Whitman and identified Hamlet's star as a supernova. Now, turning to Mary Shelley, Olsen and his collaborators have settled the issue of when, exactly, Frankenstein was conceived.
The clue lay in Mary's description of moonlight "struggling" through closed shutters at Maison Chapuis, the small house she and her lover Percy occupied near Byron's Villa Diodati. Based on lunar cycles and confirming results on a field trip to Cologny, Switzerland, Olson was able to determine which of two recorded dates for Mary's inspiration was the correct one. On June 22, 1816, a waning moon rode too low to illuminate Mary's second-story bedroom, but the other documented date, June 16, proved just right as a gibbous moon rose high and bright enough to be noticed by the awakened Mary. Working out the angles, Olson is also able to attest that the moon shone into Mary's bedroom at 2 AM.
As morning came, Mary writes, "I announced that I had thought of a story. I began that day with the words, 'It was on a dreary night of November,' making only a transcript of the grim terrors of my waking dream."
Thus confirmed, Mary Shelley began Frankenstein on June 16, 1816. The moon tells us so.

It is recommended that parents walk the route to school with students before the start of the year to assess hazards and select a course with the least number of traffic crossings. If your child takes the bus, it is smart to explain appropriate behavior with other children while they are riding and demonstrate safe entry and exit procedures. Remind your children they must wear a helmet when riding their bicycles to school.
Now is also the appropriate time to explain what 'Stranger Danger' means. No one likes to think it could happen to their children, but more than 2,000 children are reported missing every single day. If the unfortunate happened and your child were lost, could you provide their height and weight? Would you have an updated photo to provide authorities?
Preparedness is the key.
Whether your children are walking, riding the school bus, being driven, or riding a bicycle there are a few tips to ensure they are as safe as possible.
If kids are walking:
- Map out a safe route to school and walk it with your child for a few days so they become familiar with the way.
- Make sure your child crosses at intersections where there is a crossing guard.
- Have children wear bright clothing that can be seen by drivers.
- Start a neighborhood school walk by having a parent accompany a group of children to school. Take turns supervising, allowing others to rotate the chaperoning duties throughout the week.
Riding the school bus:
- Tell your child to wait for the bus to stop completely before trying to board or exit.
- Teach him or her to look both ways before crossing the street.
- Make sure children are aware that they need to remain in clear view of the bus driver when moving around the bus.
- Children should only board and exit the bus in areas that are safe and/or close to the school building.
Riding or driving in the car:
- Obey the local school bus laws. It is illegal to pass a stopped school bus when its stop signal is extended. Each state has its own rules for the distances you must keep between a following car and a bus, and those distances might be much farther than you think.
- All children should wear a seat belt or use an age-appropriate car seat or booster seat. All children under 13 years of age should ride in the rear seat of vehicles.
- If you have a teen driving to school, make sure they drive safely by using a seat belt at all times, limit the number of passengers, and set rules on distractions in the car such as no calling or texting behind the wheel.
On a bicycle:
- Make sure your child always wears a bicycle helmet.
- Teach them to ride in the same direction as traffic, on the right side of the road.
- Show your child the appropriate hand signals for turning.
- Explain the "rules of the road"--obey stop signs and traffic lights.
- Put your child in bright clothing to increase visibility to drivers.

Funds That Support Music
Above: The UIS Orchestra performs at a Music Showcase.
Make a Difference for Music Students
The Music Program at UIS is now part of a new department: the UIS Arts, Music, and Theatre Department which includes academic programs of study in all three disciplines. You can still support music programs specifically, however, by giving to one of the following funds. Thank you!
- General Funds
Music Fund
Jack S. Dolan Endowment Fund
Music Merit Awards
- Scholarship Funds
Suzanna Kay Shiner Scholarship Endowment Fund
General Funds
Music Fund
This fund provides money for special opportunities or extraordinary needs—and music has many such opportunities and needs!
- Faculty and students can travel to present a concert or take part in a special event.
- Faculty can take part in a special opportunity to update their skills. Professors need to be aware of the latest developments in their field, so that they can pass this knowledge on to their students.
- The program can purchase special equipment, music scores, resources, or training modules to help our students attain success and achieve their goals.
- The program could also use this fund for the maintenance of instruments or even the purchase of new ones.
These activities and others like them enrich our students immeasurably, enhancing the education they receive at UIS—but we could not do any of them without the discretionary money given to this fund.
Jack S. Dolan Endowment Fund
Jack Dolan, longtime Springfield resident who worked and taught for many years at St. John's Hospital as a nurse anesthesiologist, has generously given a gift to UIS in support students in the music program. He would like to encourage students at UIS engaged in music programs because music can help students gain a better appreciation of the finer things in life.
Music Merit Awards
This provides funds for music merit awards in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
Scholarship Funds
Suzanna Kay Shiner Scholarship Endowment Fund
Free-spirited Suzanna Shiner was an expert in sonar mapping of the ocean floor. Her ship, "The Performer" was on its way to search for a downed British helicopter in the Atlantic when Suzanna suffered a burst blood vessel that ended her life a few hours later in June, 2002. Family and friends of the UIS community, where her father, Larry Shiner, was a philosophy professor, as well as those of the Springfield area, rallied together to establish the Suzanna Kay Shiner Scholarship in memory of the brilliant math major, musician and daughter. Qualified applicants will be full-time students of academic merit enrolled in a music class or ensemble. A performance sample and narrative describing the role music plays in their lives is also required.

No. 78,192
LANZAR SOUND, INC., ROBERT L. WEMPE, and
1. In ruling on a motion for a directed verdict, the district court is required to resolve all facts and inferences reasonably to be drawn from the evidence in favor of the party against whom the ruling is sought. Where reasonable minds could reach different conclusions based on the evidence, the motion must be denied. A similar analysis must be applied by an appellate court when reviewing the grant or denial of a motion for directed verdict.
2. To recover in a negligence action, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant owed a duty to the plaintiff, that defendant breached that duty, and that the breach of duty was the proximate cause of damages sustained by the plaintiff. The existence of a duty is a question of law, subject to unlimited review by an appellate court.
3. Under normal circumstances, a lead car is under no general duty to evade a hazard in sufficient time to allow a following car to avoid the hazard as well.
Appeal from Johnson District Court; WILLIAM O. ISENHOUR, judge. Opinion filed October 23, 1998. Affirmed.
James M. Crabtree and Michael L. Hodges, of the Law Offices of Michael L. Hodges, of Lenexa, and Albert F. Kuhl, of the Law Offices of Albert F. Kuhl, of Lenexa, for appellant.
Leonard R. Frischer and David R. Frye, of Wallace, Saunders, Austin, Brown and Enochs, Chartered, of Overland Park, for appellee Robert L. Wempe.
James E. Switzer, of Johns, Lilleston & Switzer, of Clinton, Missouri, for appellee Shelter Mutual Insurance Co., Inc.
Before BRAZIL, C.J., RULON, J., and WAHL, S.J.
RULON, J.: Plaintiff Ray Hodge appeals from a directed verdict in a personal injury action. We affirm.
Plaintiff requests this court to decide if plaintiff submitted sufficient evidence to raise a jury question as to whether the negligence of a phantom motorist was a causal factor in this personal injury action.
The material facts are as follows:
Defendant Robert Wempe was driving in the left lane on Interstate 35 when a tire on his van blew out. The blowout happened in a construction zone. The highway had narrowed to two lanes in each direction, and there were no side lanes or medians. Traffic was heavy but moving fast. After unsuccessfully trying to merge into the right lane, Wempe stopped his van in the left lane, blocking traffic, and exited safely.
Plaintiff entered the construction zone following an unidentified passenger vehicle (phantom motorist) at about five car lengths. Suddenly, the phantom motorist swerved from the left lane into the right lane, and plaintiff was confronted with Wempe's stalled van. Plaintiff braked hard but collided with the rear of Wempe's van. Plaintiff suffered serious injuries.
Plaintiff filed suit against defendant Robert Wempe, the driver of the van; defendant Lanzar Sound, the owner of the van; and Wempe's insurance company, defendant Shelter Mutual Insurance Company (Shelter) under the uninsured motorist coverage. Shelter stipulated that under its policy it is responsible for the liability of the phantom motorist which plaintiff was following.
At trial plaintiff alleged the phantom vehicle swerved at the last instant, without using a signal. As a result, plaintiff did not see the stalled van until it was too late for him to avoid a collision. The district court granted partial summary judgment for Shelter, holding the phantom motorist had no duty to warn plaintiff of plaintiff's approach to Wempe's vehicle.
At the close of defendants' cases, the district court entered a directed verdict for defendant Shelter, holding the phantom motorist's actions were not causal factors as a matter of law. The court also dismissed Lanzar Sound on the plaintiff's motion. The jury assigned 50% fault to Wempe and 50% to plaintiff. Plaintiff appeals from the court's directed verdict dismissing defendant Shelter.
Briefly said, we have considered Wempe's claim this court lacks jurisdiction to hear this appeal. We disagree and conclude plaintiff properly preserved the issue raised in this appeal.
In ruling on a motion for a directed verdict, the district court is required to resolve all facts and inferences reasonably to be drawn from the evidence in favor of the party against whom the ruling is sought. Where reasonable minds could reach different conclusions based on the evidence, the motion must be denied. A similar analysis must be applied by an appellate court when reviewing the grant or denial of a motion for directed verdict. See Simon v. National Farmers Organization, Inc., 250 Kan. 676, Syl. ¶ 4, 829 P.2d 884 (1992).
To recover in a negligence action, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant owed a duty to the plaintiff, that defendant breached that duty, and that the breach of duty was the proximate cause of damages sustained by the plaintiff. The existence of a duty is a question of law, subject to unlimited review by an appellate court. P.W. v. Kansas Dept. of SRS, 255 Kan. 827, 831, 877 P.2d 430 (1994). Here, we must determine if any interpretation of the evidence would indicate the phantom motorist breached any duty owed to plaintiff.
Plaintiff alleges the last-second maneuvering of the phantom motorist placed plaintiff at a disadvantage because plaintiff did not see the stalled van in time to avoid a collision. According to plaintiff, by avoiding the van earlier, or by using a signal to warn of a lane change, the phantom motorist would have allowed plaintiff more time to prevent the collision. In order to prevail, plaintiff must show the phantom motorist had a duty to drive in a manner that allowed plaintiff sufficient opportunity to see and avoid the road hazard. In addition, assuming the phantom motorist breached this duty, plaintiff must show that the phantom's actions were a proximate cause of the accident and plaintiff's injuries.
This is a matter of first impression in Kansas. Normally, the primary duty of a motorist is to look ahead. Hallett v. Stone, 216 Kan. 568, 572, 534 P.2d 232 (1975). One Kansas case seems to instruct that when a vehicle blocks the view of the road ahead, in certain circumstances the driver of that vehicle has the duty to warn of upcoming hazards. Strimple v. O.K. Warehouse Co., 151 Kan. 98, 104, 98 P.2d 169 (1940). In Strimple, the lead vehicle, a large truck, blocked the view of a vehicle trailing behind. The truck slowed suddenly when it encountered a "slow" sign, and the following car collided with the truck. A New Jersey court has held similarly that the driver of a lead vehicle had a duty to warn of upcoming hazards. Simpson v. Snellenburg, 96 N.J. 518, 115 A. 403 (1921). In both cases cited above, the lead vehicles presented a greater than normal danger to other motorists due to their size and were consequently saddled with a correspondingly higher degree of care. Here, the lead vehicle was a passenger car. Plaintiff has not alleged the phantom motorist blocked plaintiff's vision more than would normally be expected. Strimple does not control here.
Similarly, we are convinced plaintiff cannot prove causation. The phantom motorist did not execute a maneuver that interfered with plaintiff. There is no indication the phantom motorist was even aware of plaintiff. Even if the phantom motorist failed to keep a lookout, such failure played no part in causing the collision. The negligence of the phantom motorist would be a factor if the phantom motorist struck or interfered with other motorists, but the concept of proximate cause would be stretched too far if a lead driver were saddled with the negligence of the trailing driver. Assuming a reasonable clear line of sight to the hazard, the trailing car is not put in a worse position than if the lead car slammed on the brakes and stopped successfully. The phantom motorist was entitled to assume that plaintiff would be exercising ordinary care, Hallett, 216 Kan. at 572, and keeping a sufficient interval to deal with any foreseeable emergency. Holding for plaintiff would place an unreasonable burden on drivers to keep a lookout to the rear at all times, which clearly is not the law. See Hallett, 216 Kan. at 572. If there was any negligence on the part of the phantom motorist, such could not have been a proximate cause of the collision.
In Russell v. Cooke, 453 A.2d 757, 758 (R.I. 1982), the defendant, in the lead car, swerved at the last second to avoid an excavation site. The plaintiff, in the trailing car, ran into the site. The Russell court flatly refused to recognize a duty on the part of the defendant to drive in such a manner as would allow the plaintiff sufficient opportunity to observe and avoid an apparent road hazard.
In a case with facts close to those here, the Minnesota Supreme Court held a lead driver negligent for swerving into the adjacent lane without warning but determined the driver's maneuver was not a contributing cause of the collision between plaintiff's and defendant's vehicles. Ondrachek v. Kettner, 256 Minn. 297, 303, 98 N.W.2d 91 (1959). The Ondrachek court reasoned that had the lead car attempted to stop instead of swerve, it would have increased the danger to the trailing car. The court further concluded there was a need to be vigilant for interruptions in the flow of heavy traffic. Ondrachek, 256 Minn. at 303.
We are convinced this court should follow the lead of other jurisdictions and hold that under normal circumstances, a lead car is under no general duty to evade a hazard in sufficient time to allow a following car to avoid the hazard as well.

[L'Incoronazione di Poppea]
By Claudio Monteverdi
Libretto by Giovanni Francisco Busenello
Poppea's beauty bewitches Nero and provokes the death of Seneca, the banishment of Othon and the repudiation of Octavia; an opera about desire and seduction. After his successful productions of L'Orfeo (2009) and Il Ritorno d'Ulisse in Patria (2011) in Milan and Paris, Robert Wilson concludes his epic Monteverdi Cycle with The Coronation of Poppea–first to open at the Opéra Garnier in Paris and then at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan.

Nissan Maxima Clutch Replacement Cost
Know what price you should pay to get your vehicle fixed.
What is a clutch?
A clutch is used in cars with manual transmissions. It transfers the power from the engine to the transmission, allowing the wheels to turn.
How does the clutch work?
When the vehicle is in gear, power is transmitted from the engine through the clutch to the transmission. Pressing the clutch pedal disengages the clutch friction disc from the flywheel, momentarily disconnecting the engine from the transmission and allowing shifting between gears.
What are the symptoms related to a bad clutch?
A failed clutch could slip or shudder, or it could be unusually difficult to press the pedal. Changing gears may become more difficult. The engine will rev but speed will not increase or the vehicle may not move.
Can I drive with a clutch problem?
No, it's usually impossible to drive with a failed clutch. Even if the transmission can be put into gear, the worn clutch disc will not be able to transmit enough torque to move the vehicle.
How often do clutches need to be replaced?
Replacement intervals vary by vehicle and driving conditions. Similar to brake pads, clutches do not have a recommended replacement mileage. They do wear out, but some will last over 100,000 miles.
How are clutch issues diagnosed?
The technician will inspect the clutch hydraulics and clutch cable, if equipped. Shifting problems may arise from leaking clutch master cylinders, misadjusted clutch cables or worn pivot arms.
If other clutch issues have been ruled out, the transmission will be removed and the clutch, pressure plate and flywheel will be inspected and repaired as needed.
How is a clutch replaced?
The technician will remove the transmission or transaxle from the vehicle. The release bearing, pressure plate and clutch will then be removed from the engine. The flywheel may be removed for resurfacing or replacement, and the pilot bearing will be removed from the rear of the crankshaft. The new components will then be installed, and after assembly, the technician will check for proper operation.
RepairPal recommendations for clutch issues
Engine oil or transmission fluid leaks can damage a clutch. When replacing the clutch, any leaks should be diagnosed and repaired to avoid recurring problems.
As a preventive measure, it's not uncommon for a shop to recommend replacement of the rear main seal, the transmission input shaft seal, or other parts, even if they haven't failed. It's a good insurance policy against expensive future repairs.
Also, when driving, avoid "riding" the clutch — that is, keeping your foot lightly on the pedal. Riding the clutch will wear it out more quickly.
Can I replace the clutch myself?
No, clutch replacement is a job for an experienced technician. Transmission removal is required, and special tools are often needed for removal and seating of the new clutch components.

Atlas: Country resources for neurological disorders
Neurological disorders constitute a large and increasing share of the global burden of disease. There is paucity of information regarding national and subnational policies, programmes and resources for the treatment and management of neurological disorders. In order to decrease this information gap, the Project Atlas was extended to the area of neurology and neurological services, as the next logical step in the work of WHO in assessing country resources – and consequently country needs – to control mental and neurological disorders. The Atlas of Country Resources for Neurological Disorders (Neurology Atlas) is the result of this effort. It presents for the first time, the most comprehensive collection and compilation of information on neurological resources across 109 countries. The study is the result of a collaborative effort between the World Health Organization and the World Federation of Neurology. The Neurology Atlas is an illustrative presentation of data and information on the current status of neurological services and neurological care in different parts of the world. It highlights the large inequalities across regions and countries, with low-income countries disposing of extremely meagre resources.
We believe that the information presented in this volume will be useful for a large range of readers including policy-makers, health planners and specialists at international as well as national level. The results of the Neurology Atlas clearly establish the need for substantial increase in the neurology services. We also hope that personnel involved in caring for people with neurological disorders, including health professionals and nongovernmental organizations, will use the Neurology Atlas data in their advocacy efforts for more and better resources for neurological care. At the country level, the data summarized in the Neurology Atlas may be used for building up national programmes and development of strategies to improve control of neurological disorders, and their implementation at country level. In addition, the Neurology Atlas provides the opportunity for comparative analysis of available resources for neurological disorders across geographical regions and income groups of countries.
The material presented is a first snapshot of the actual global situation, and we are aware of gaps in information. We are planning to continue our work in this direction to provide more complete, accurate and comparable information in the coming years.

Perhaps you never thought you'd see Katherine Heigl and bounty-hunter in the same paragraph, but the "Grey's Anatomy" star is going rough onscreen.
Heigl will star in "One For the Money" which has been acquired by Lionsgate. Heigl will play the gutty, bounty-hunting heroine in the film, according to EW.
How does she get there? She'll play a newly divorced, recently laid-off woman desperate for income who agrees to work for her sleezeball cousin and his bail bond agency. Her big case: a local cop wanted for murder who turns out to have broken her heart in high school.
If you're thinking a possible romance amidst the drama, you might be correct.
Julie Ann Robinson, who directed Heigl in "Grey's" and who helmed "Last Song," will direct. Hopefully she can pull this off better than the dreadful bounty-hunter saga that was Jennifer Aniston's "Bounty Hunter." But after actually watching "Last Song" a feeling of actual despair might set in for this project. Come to think of it though, perhaps Miley Cyrus acting all tough in that movie might be a more likely bounty-hunter than Heigl.
The movie is an adaptation of Janet Evanovich's first novel from the bestselling Stephanie Plum series spawning 19 books. So if it's a hit, there's plenty of room for more.

Students will learn about magnification and how a magnifying lens works. They will examine a variety of different objects, first without a magnifier and then with a magnifier, and compare what they observe. They will practice observing details of these objects with a magnifying lens.
In this lesson, learners will construct their own 3-D glasses in order to use them on 3-D images, such as images of the Sun from the STEREO spacecraft.
In this interactive module, students can vary the comet's angle of approach to see the effect of gravity on its trajectory towards Jupiter. The speed and masses of the two bodies are held constant.
In this interactive, online activity, students practice estimation skills as they begin to explore the Hubble Deep Field image. Students first give a rough estimate of the number of objects in the image. They then use representative sampling techniques to improve upon their original estimates.
Similar features exist on the surfaces of Earth and Mars. This investigation includes satellite images of five Earth features and five Martian features, none of which are labeled.
In this problem-based learning module, learners study phytoplankton blooms along the U.S. coast. Phytoplankton form the basis of the marine food web, regulate carbon in the atmosphere, and are responsible for half of the photosynthesis that takes place on the planet.
This excercise uses "the birthday problem," a well-known probability riddle with a surprising result. It serves as a calculator exercise for students and beginning computer programmers.
Hurricanes are discussed as one type of tropical cyclone; the article then describes the four stages of cyclone development. The site includes a video of Hurricane Katrina and a link to a related game.
In this problem set, learners will analyze a map of atmospheric carbon dioxide derived from satellite data. Answer key is provided. This is part of Earth Math: A Brief Mathematical Guide to Earth Science and Climate Change.
In this hands-on experiment, students will investigate the basic principle of photosynthesis and learn how light intensity diminishes as a function of distance from the light source. Questions help learners connect these two ideas to determine if photosynthesis could occur at Saturn.

INDIANOLA, Iowa – Tyler Kenny broke the century mark on the ground, Taylor Rogers caught record-setting touchdown pass and the Simpson football team used a balanced attack to beat Loras 28-7 on Saturday afternoon.
With starter Michael Chia out of the game due to injury, Kenny and Ethan Calvert combined for 172 yards on the ground as Simpson ran for 193 as a team. Kenny finished with 132 yards on 18 carries and Calvert added 40 and a touchdown.
"The running game allows us to change the tempo," head coach Jim Glogowski said. "We ran the ball well, especially with Chia being out. The other guys really stepped up."
Kenny's 132 yards on the ground is the most by a Simpson player since Renauld Shelton ran for 179 against Buena Vista on Sept. 26, 2009.
"We needed to get the running game back because the first few weeks were really down," Kenny said. "Now that we have that back, we can utilize run and pass. It's coming together nicely."
Taylor Nelson threw for 193 yards on 21 of 32 passing with three touchdowns for the Storm (5-1, 3-0 Iowa Conference), extending his streak to 14 straight games with a touchdown pass.
Taylor Rogers was on the receiving end of Nelson's first two scoring heaves, the first of which made him Simpson's career touchdown reception leader. The senior hauled in an 18-yarder in the first quarter, the 28th touchdown grab of his career. He passed the mark of 27 set by Dusty Kain from 2002-2005.
"It's an honor to get that record," Rogers said. "I've had some great quarterbacks so it makes it that much easier for me."
Defensively, Simpson bottled up the Iowa Conference's leading rusher and harassed quarterback Dylan Jones.
Simpson held Nate Carrier – who came into the game averaging 132.6 yards per game – to only 69 yards, ending his streak of consecutive 100-yard games at four. The defense sacked Jones six times, all by defensive linemen.
"Play fast and hard, get sacks, have fun with it," senior defensive lineman Aaron Gaynor said of the mentality of the front four.
Gaynor, Mike Munson, Taylor Stockdale and Johnnie Sims all had a sack. David Adams led the team with two.
"We have some athletic guys up front," Glogowski said. "We're as athletic as we've ever been up there."
Nate Even had a big day receiving for the Duhawks (2-4, 1-2), making eight catches for 155 yards. Jones finished 14-for-37 for 238 yards and a touchdown.
After a scoreless first quarter, Nelson threw a pair of touchdown passes to Rogers in the second that gave Simpson a 14-0 halftime lead. Calvert added a six-yard scoring run with 10:39 left in the third for a 21-0 advantage.
Loras got on the board late in the third when Kyle Killian caught a 7-yard touchdown pass from Jones, but Simpson put the game out of reach when Nelson found tight end Alex McCarty on a throwback from eight yards out with 9:16 left in the fourth.
The win sets up a big meeting next Saturday when Coe visits Buxton Stadium on homecoming. The Kohawks (6-0, 3-0) beat defending Iowa Conference champion Dubuque 41-38 in overtime on Saturday.
Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.
