| 'Vantage Point' leads box office
New Line's Jack Black comedy "Be Kind Rewind" opened in seventh place with $4.1 million from a barely wide 808 playdates. Lionsgate's Larry the Cable Guy comedy "Witless Protection" bowed out of the top rankings with $2.2 million. And MGM's Robert Downey Jr. starrer "Charlie Bartlett" debuted with just $1.8 million. Also, National Geographic Cinema expanded its "U2 3D" concert film into wide release after a previous limited run, grossing $1 million from 686 venues, up from a previous 40. That shaped a cume of $4.9 million. Industrywide, the weekend's $107 million in collective grosses represented an 8 percent decline when compared with the same frame a year ago, according to Nielsen EDI. That's the third consecutive year-over-year weekly decline. Moviegoers' preoccupation with the Academy Awards telecast caused distributors to pencil in lighter grosses than for a typical winter Sunday, but that was true on the comparable frame from 2007.

Of course, Franco was the big prize for the Tribe in this trade and provided a combination of speed and power at the plate for the Indians for a period of six seasons before being dealt to the Texas Rangers in 1988. Hayes, on the other hand, never quite reached his potential as a member of the Phillies.

Dwell on four things — spiritual life, family, work and physical fitness — for good balance. "If you think about these things routinely and try to make them central to your life, this makes you more successful and happy," Stabler said. "It will make you less likely to crash and burn." As Northrop Grumman Newport News’ vice president in charge of the George H.W. Bush carrier construction, the biggest job project now underway at the yard, Stabler advises his management team and workers not to let the job crowd out everything else. .
