Asst. Fire Marshal changes smoke detector law

By Nicky Purser · Wednesday, July 30,2008 9:08 p.m.

Thirteen years ago, James Bennett witnessed the first fatality of his firefighting career when he had to carry a 12-year-old girl out of a house fire in Connersville, Ind. Ten years later, a young man died in another fire, the second death of Bennett’s career. Both tragedies might have been prevented had there simply been smoke detectors in the homes where those fires broke out.

Worth while movie sequels

Wednesday, July 30,2008 7:37 p.m.

There’s no point in arguing with studios’ obsessive turnout of sequels – established successful titles are safe and likely to bring audiences back in theaters, but in a summer with a new “Hulk” reboot and a very aged “Indiana Jones,” you sometimes wonder why movies that might actually deserve sequels don’t always get a number two. Here are some movies we wouldn’t mind sitting through a second (or third and fourth) outing.

By Alex Benson · Wednesday, July 30,2008 7:28 p.m.

Into the Sun is one of those albums that you listen to and think “Hey that doesn’t sound half-bad, in fact it’s pretty good,” then it gets lost in your iTunes/LimeWire download history or somewhere in your car.

I don't want to believe

By Kaleb Havens · Wednesday, July 30,2008 7:24 p.m.

The mystery is barely paranormal (if at all), the pacing is boring and the general feel of the mise-en-scene wasn’t up to par; it just felt like a generic suspense movie.

Family matters

By Jacob Levin · Wednesday, July 30,2008 7:22 p.m.
