Summer movie guide
With flicks hitting the silver screen every Friday from now until the start
of the fall semester – except for the week of Independence Day, when movies
will hit the screen July 2 – there almost always is going to be a good excuse
to run to the theater and drop $10. If titles such as “Hellboy II: The Golden

Saturday’s action was suspended in the bottom of the third inning with the Rams leading 5-3 and was resumed Sunday morning. […]
Thank goodness for the NFL draft
I’m not going to beat around the bush
here. I love Al Davis. For years, the owner
of the Oakland Raiders has had my affection.
Obviously, I’m not a Raiders fan. If
I were, I’d be saying exactly the opposite.
