Diablo Cody, of Juno fame, is producing a movie called Breathers: A Zombie's Lament, based on a new novel about life (if that's the word) as one of the walking dead.

According to O'Connell, some of California's poorest districts are running out of cash for subsidized meal programs. The Hayward district is planning layoffs that would increase class size in primary grades from 20 students to 32.
