| Cloverfield: The background
The film has been shrouded in secrecy. It began in July 2007 when a trailer showing a huge New York explosion and the severed head of the Statue of Liberty crashing to the ground was first shown before screenings of Transformers. The trailer had an immediate impact on fans. "The reaction was just as we hoped for," said producer JJ Abrams. "No one had heard of this movie yet. We didn't even put a title on it." A huge viral explosion followed in which a number of blogs debated the whats, wheres, hows and whys of the movie. "I certainly didn't expect the outpouring of curiosity and intense scrutiny of the project," added executive producer Sherryl Clark, "or people sneaking onto the set and taking photos and video. It's been intense". :: Plot As with Blair Witch, Cloverfield is presented as 'found footage' shot on a video camera, and as the film begins, we're watching a tape marked 'Property of Department of Defence'.
Tropical Storm Noel Buffets South Fla.
Tropical Storm Noel buffeted south Florida with high surf and winds as it swirled slowly toward the Bahamas Thursday after triggering mudslides and floods in the Caribbean that killed at least 81 people. Forecasters warned of worsening storm conditions in the Bahamas later in the day, and the government issued a hurricane watch for the northwestern parts of the archipelago. On Andros Island, the chain's largest, boat owners tied their vessels down ahead of the storm. .
Urioste named top Title I principal
For him, failure was not an option," Smukler said. "That was the piece that came through."
Even Urioste's toughest "critics" had kind words to say about him.
"He's cool," fifth-grader Hugo Martinez said of Urioste, who often eats his lunch with students.
Bianca Sota, another fifth-grader, said Urioste is a tough, but good, principal.
"He wants us to get on track."

YOU ASKED, WE ANSWERED: Your Mortgage Questions
Bank of America does not originate nor service subprime loans and has one of the lowest foreclosure rates in the nation. As one of the founding members of the HOPE NOW alliance, Bank of America supports efforts to provide awareness of options for homeowners who may be facing foreclosure. Question: "I have been living in my home for just over 6 years. I am almost 60 years old, and over the last two years, I have had to have both knees replaced and an eye removed. I try very hard to pay everything but for some reason the money does not stretch far enough. My home is in foreclosure right now and I was wondering what to do. I keep getting these things in the mail telling me they will save my home. I guess I would like to know if there is an agency out there to help or should I just give it up and live in my car.
Internet Gambling Deserves a New Chance
I certainly hope not, but one never knows, given recent Congressional history. Were you suggesting that Mr. Boatman was playing on the Internet with his brother when he was twelve? Aside from the age verification software present on all online gaming sites, certainly you understand no site ever permitted more than one player from the same IP address to play in the same poker game, due to collusion. I assume you do, as you claim expertise in this area. Also, as Mr. Boatman is in his 40s, he would have been twelve back in the pre-Internet 1970s. Anyway, regardless of the point you were trying to make, fortunately for Mr. Boatman this was prior to the current era of big government Republicanism. Also fortunate for Mr. Boatman, he grew up in England, where poker is not seen as something the national government has any business trying to prevent its citizens from enjoying.
Despite everything McGhee is still the one
He has got terrible stick for that for many years despite holding his hands up about it. Last month he told me about the regret he feels even now when he thinks back to that period in his career. "I'd be driving down the M1 and at Junction 21 there's a sign pointing to Leicester," he recalled in our interview. "After I left them I couldn't ever look at that sign out of pure embarrassment at what I did."Last week McGhee jumped through hoops in stressing that he would never leave Motherwell if he thought people would resent him for it. I'm not sure they would. And I'd hope Smith sees it the same way because McGhee is the best man on his 'shortlist' and could make a fine national team manager, one with the personality to galvanise the team and the country and the nous to get his side playing attractive and competitive football.
Latest Cycling News
It's anyone's race as the Women and Under 23 men line up for Australian title. Those who believe that interest is waning for cycling, need only look at the number of participants who have entered the National Championships in Australia on Saturday to stand corrected. Almost ninety women have entered the event, with the number of Under 23 men being almost identical. With one of the biggest fields ever assembled for the women's race, the outcome is far from certain. "This year is going to be different to any other year, simply because of the numbers that are lining up. I think with that depth, it is going to create different dynamics throughout the race, compared to what we have seen in the past," 2004 Olympic champion Sara Carrigan explained. With so many women taking part, picking a possible winner has become a hard task, with even the best in the world struggling to narrow it down to just a handful of riders.
Two Children Killed in Schuylkill County Blaze
The search for the cause of a deadly fire is underway in Schuylkill County. Two children were killed when flames wrecked a home in Ashland. The fire also wiped out a part of Ashland history. The fire on West Centre Street broke out around 1:30 a.m. The flames apparently got their start in a single-family home. Four businesses and four apartments were destroyed. Four families were left homeless. The hardest hit was the Klinger family. Audrey Klinger, 3, and her five-year-old brother, Victor, were found in a second floor bedroom area. Their 17-month-old brother, Gunner, was rescued by his father. "You just couldn't get in. You just couldn't get in," said Rich Ludwig, with tears in his eyes. He was there when the flames were the highest. He helped in the life and death struggle of the father trying to rescue his 17-month-old son.
