One of my favorite actors is Joseph Gordon-Levitt. While some of you might only know his work from the hit NBC show 30 Rock From the Sun, over the past decade he’s delivered some great performances in such films as The Lookout, Brick, Mysterious Skin, Stop-Loss, and I even loved his work as Cobra Commander in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. So when I found out I’d be getting an exclusive interview with Gordon-Levitt for Inception, needless to say I was thrilled. Thankfully, he could not have been nicer, and while my interview was set up for print (meaning just audio), he was totally on board with me using video.

Sports minister joins debate over football club debt levels | City A.M.
|
THE government is to press ahead with calls for tougher financial controls for football clubs, despite widespread criticism from within the industry.
|
Sports minister Gerry Sutcliffe yesterday weighed into the debate, calling for an overhaul of the way teams’ finances are regulated.
|
The move follows increasing concern about the long-term viability of debt-laden clubs in the wake of the meltdown of teams including Portsmouth, Cardiff City, Crystal Palace and Southend. The Premier League reacted to criticism by implementing a new “early warning” system that requires clubs to make regular account statements but critics have warned this may not be enough.
|
Earlier this week Wigan chairman Dave Whelan proposed a borrowing cap of 25 per cent of turnover. The league table opposite shows by how much Premier League teams would have exceeded (or undershot) Whelan’s cap in the 2008 season. Fulham came bottom, exceeding the debt limit by 1,437 per cent.

The family of a Pleasant View father shot and killed during an argument involving an armed subject said he died trying to protect his son.
|
PLEASANT VIEW, Tenn. (WTVF) — The family of a Pleasant View father shot and killed during an argument involving an armed subject said he died trying to protect his son.
|
Christopher Helser, 36, was shot outside of his house on Jack Teasley Road on Monday night. Authorities with the Robertson County Sheriff's Office said Travis Presley, 21, drove to the home with a semi-automatic 9mm handgun to confront his friend.
|
An arrest affidavit said Presley walked out of his vehicle with the gun in his right hand and sparked a heated argument. Witnesses said Christopher got in between and started yelling at Presley to leave and bumping him with his chest to push away from his son Mark. Christopher was shot three times.
|
Presley reportedly called 911 and drove away before he was caught down the road. He is charged with criminal homicide.
|
"He was protecting his son from someone who came over there with ill intentions," Nickie Humphrey, Christopher's longtime partner, told NewsChannel 5. "That's what he would do a thousand times in order to protect his family or anyone for that matter."
|
Humphrey was with their 18-month-old son when she heard the gunshots.
|
Mark could not elaborate on the argument citing the ongoing case but believed he is still alive because of the actions of his father.
|
"Without him I probably wouldn't be sitting here today and I believe that with everything, and I love him," Mark said.
|
Christopher is described as selfless and a genuine father who would do anything for his children.
|
"He was a strong man who believed everybody had a heart of gold even though they did things wrong to us or him," according to his daughter Brianna Deloach.
|
The family said living in the house is too painful and plans to move out.
|
They are preparing for his memorial service at Greenville United Methodist Church in Joelton at 3 p.m. on Sunday.
|
There is a GoFundMe set up to help support his children. To learn how to donate, click on this link .

Who, really, is Maggie Haberman of the NY Times?
|
Maggie Haberman, currently of The New York Times and formerly of Politico, has gained a reputation as the go-to reporter for Democrats looking for positive spin.
|
In her new book “Smear”, former CBS journalist Sharyl Attkisson now with Sinclair Broadcast Group describes how Democratic operatives use friendly journalists to skew coverage.
|
Haberman expressed utter shock at last week’s revelation that Hillary Clinton’s campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) paid for the bogus Trump dossier.
|
“Folks involved in funding this lied about it, and with sanctimony, for a year,” Haberman tweeted.
|
Shocked? Conservative bloggers waxed sarcastic.
|
But then, Klavan adds, “Haberman says the relentlessly left-wing, anti-Trump Times has no bias whatsoever. ‘I think we try and play this straight down the middle,’ she says.

During the Golden Globes telecast on Sunday, Jan. 6, Walmart debuted a new commercial in which famous vehicles from movies and television — such as The Mystery Machine, K.I.T.T. from Knight Rider, and the Batmobile — pull into the retailer’s parking lot. Each one arrived at the store because their “owners” had ordered their groceries online and were there to pick up the food.
|
Walmart is not alone. In Prescott Valley and Prescott, Fry’s Food and Drug Store and Costco also are offering online grocery shopping and pickup.
|
And, area residents appear to be taking advantage of the services.

million in expenses, according to CNN Business. By June 2001, Webvan had filed for bankruptcy and laid off 2,000 of its employees. Amazon bought the company and eventually transformed the once-defunct company into Amazon Fresh.
|
Other companies also saw how online grocery shopping could be the future of food purchasing and began developing their own services. One of these companies was Kroger, the parent company of Fry’s.
|
Originally called “ClickList,” now known as Fry’s Pickup, all Fry’s markets in Prescott Valley and Prescott offer the online grocery service.
|
Two users of Fry’s Pickup are Kendra Barnes and Carol Winsted.
|
Barnes is a mother of two young children. She said it is a hassle to get her children into and out of grocery carts and that one grocery cart is impractical.
|
To order groceries online from Fry’s, customers need to visit the store’s website. From there they will then log into their account and select the option to use ClickList. The website will take customer to a page where they can pick what items to purchase. Customer will then proceed to check after selecting their item. The first three uses of ClickList are free after that there is a flat rate fee of $4.95. There is no minimum of items order for Clicklist.
|
To order from Walmart, a customer must buy $30 or more worth of items, and there is free pick up. Costco has $35 purchase minimum and fees vary with their membership.
|
“I’ve noticed that I spend less overall on groceries although there is a fee to do the ClickList,” Barnes said.
|
Barnes estimates she saves around $50 using Fry’s Pickup. “You are not walking through the isles finding random stuff you think you may need,” she said.
|
Winsted also said she saves money through Pickup because she can control the coupon usage. Winsted still shops in the store sometimes, but said she prefers using Pickup because of her difficulty of walking.

A Gallup Poll in July states 84 percent of Americans have never ordered groceries through the internet. Only 4 percent order groceries online once a week and 11 percent do so twice a month. A majority of those who do order groceries online are between 35 and 55 years old, according to Gallup, and only 14 percent of families with children younger than 18 use online grocery shopping services.
|
The future may be bright for online grocery shopping in Arizona. In December, Kroger announced it would be launching the first unmanned delivery service for public use in Scottsdale. Customers will be able to order their groceries online and have an unmanned vehicle deliver the food to their home. Kroger is partnering with Nuro, which has a fleet of self-driving vehicles.

Germany expects to receive up to 800,000 asylum seekers in 2015, a new record, the country's interior minister said on Wednesday, as he urged action from Europe on the crisis.
|
Germany has struggled to accommodate a wave of asylum seekers from war zones such as Syria but also from countries without military conflict in southeastern Europe, including Albania, Serbia and Kosovo.
|
Europe's biggest economy has become the top destination for those fleeing war and persecution but Thomas de Maiziere said other European partners must also share the refugee load.
|
"The European Commission should act against member states that are not assuming their responsibilities," he told reporters as he announced the new official estimate.
|
"This development is a challenge for us all," said the minister.
|
Up to July, Germany received 218,221 asylum applications - an increase of nearly 125 per cent compared to the same period last year.
|
Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel, who described the jump in refugee figures as the "biggest political challenge of the coming year", had stronger words for the EU, which he said has "failed miserably in this task".
|
A fair repartition of asylum-seekers was the "only sensible solution," he wrote on Facebook, calling it a "disgrace" that some EU member states were unwilling to pull their weight.
|
"We want free movement of people but, and I have said this often, the question is what does free movement of people mean in Europe.
|
"Therefore I aim to get a European answer on open borders," said the minister, who will meet his French counterpart Bernard Cazeneuve on Thursday to discuss the record influx of asylum-seekers in the EU.
|
In the first 17 days of August however, the number of applications reached 50,000, said de Maiziere, who described the trend as "dramatic".
|
De Maiziere reiterated a complaint made last week that it was "unacceptable" that 40 percent of a record wave of asylum-seekers in his country were from the Balkans, calling it "an embarrassment for Europe".
|
"They are going to have to leave our country," he said on Wednesday.

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment is removing products made of polystyrene foam from its 12 parks.
|
Officials at the Florida-based theme park company said Tuesday the removal of bowls, plates and trays made of the material will prevent an estimated 14 million pieces of polystyrene foam products from entering the environment each year.
|
Although the material is good for keeping food warm and is comparatively inexpensive, SeaWorld officials say it’s resistant to decomposition and difficult to recycle.
|
SeaWorld vice president Andrew Ngo says in a statement that reducing the company’s environmental footprint is an important part of the company’s mission.
|
SeaWorld has previously removed plastic straws and plastic coffee stirrers from its parks.
|
In recent years, Baltimore, San Francisco and Portland, Oregon have banned businesses from using foam food containers.

The grill is, perhaps, the main reason why many people gain weight during the summer.
|
It's not just the grilled ribs, steaks, hot dogs and burgers. It's the potato and macaroni salads that we pile on the side, and the much-loved recipes that wrap normally healthy fruits into a mountain of whipped cream. Don’t forget all those sugary drinks we find refreshing.
|
But take heart. Your next barbecue doesn't have to pack a punch with extra pounds.
|
Registered nurse Carla Cocco, practical nursing clinical coordinator at Brown Mackie College-Cincinnati, offers some sensible advice on how to avoid extra calories.
|
"Instead of grilling ribs and sausages, substitute these high-fat meats with chicken, fish or pork. Pork tenderloin is virtually as lean as chicken breast," she says. "It is important, though, to use a meat thermometer to ensure the meat is cooked thoroughly."
|
You can also ward off extra pounds by considering portion size.
|
For side dishes, a portion should fit in the palm of your hand. Meat should be 3 to 4 ounces, about the size of a deck of cards.
|
Substitution is a big summer rule of thumb.
|
"Instead of nibbling on cheese and crackers, try fruit chunks dipped in yogurt," recommends Cocco. "Instead of ice cream treats, give the kids sugar-free popsicles. They're still cool and sweet and contain only about 15 calories."
|
She also suggests drinking water after your first glass of soda, lemonade or wine. Don’t drink your calories.
|
Other healthy summer tips focus on activity levels. When attending a barbecue hosted by another, offer to help serve or clean up. When you're busy, you are less likely to eat as much.
|
Above all, whether you're the host or a guest, join in on the outdoor fun. Pick up a badminton racket, or get in on a game of horseshoes or volleyball. Even toss a few water balloons. That's what summer is all about.

New research shows that a method used by air traffic controllers tracks patient data more effectively and with fewer errors compared with current hospital methods, primarily the use of clipboards.
|
Currently there is no standard practice for tracking the movement of patients.
|
By keeping data in "air traffic control" bays and regularly reprioritizing this data depending on patient condition and doctor availability, information was available in one location as opposed to on a roving clipboard.
|
This system provided hospital administrators with knowledge of current hospital capacity so resources could be redirected – and patients reprioritized – in real time.

In an enclosed or partially enclosed area, carbon monoxide can be very harmful and even deadly.
|
- Place camp stoves, generators, portable heaters, fuel-burning lanterns and similar items outside only. Keep them away from tents and shelters.
|
- Be alert to the most common symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning: headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, chest pain, and confusion.
|
- If you think you may be sick from carbon monoxide poisoning, get fresh air and medical attention quickly.

A Chicago couple wore masks and kept 10 feet away from friends and family at their wedding after coming down with suspected swine flu two days before the big day. They went ahead with the ceremony after doctors told them guests wouldn’t be at serious risk.
|
- Do not push your child to ride a 2-wheeled bike until he or she is ready, at about age 5 or 6.
|
- Take your child with you when you shop for the bike, so that he or she can try it out. Buy a bike that is the right size, not one your child has to "grow into."
|
- Your child needs to wear a CPSC-approved helmet on every bike ride, no matter how short or how close to home.
|
- A helmet should be worn so that it is secure and level on the head, not tipped forward or backward.

Elderly people are more prone to heat stress than younger people.
|
- Get the person to a shady area.
|
- Cool the person rapidly, using whatever methods you can. For example, immerse the person in a tub of cool water; place the person in a cool shower; spray the person with cool water from a garden hose; sponge the person with cool water; or if the humidity is low, wrap the person in a cool, wet sheet and fan him or her vigorously.
|
- Monitor body temperature and continue cooling efforts until the body temperature drops to 101–102 degrees Fahrenheit.
|
- Do not give the person alcohol to drink.

As a new year begins, I wanted to take the pulse of the preowned business jet market by reaching out to some of my closest colleagues. Every year, throughout much of January, the calls seem to be a little slower than normal. I typically attribute this to everyone shaking off the ride of the previous year and looking inward to their own personal and corporate priorities.
|
This year is no different, but the typical reasons are occurring in conjunction with a few other distractions and possible game changers that one could mistake for a possible flu. The partial U.S. government shutdown could certainly be billed as more than a distraction, the stock market volatility, and trade discussions with China seesawing are also creating conversation and concern.
|
What will be a bit different this coming year, and for a few years going forward, will be a bit more inventory for us to sell. New model deliveries are fueling this—Gulfstream G500s and G600s, Bombardier Global 7500s, and others from Dassault, Embraer, and Textron Aviation. This is actually going to be very positive for all of us as we work on our acquisition clients and the relinquishment of aircraft against these new deliveries.
