Random notes: August 27, 2013.

Back in July, I noted the rhythmic gymnastics scandal. There’s a new development:

The governing body for rhythmic gymnastics has cleared dozens of judges who were suspected of cheating on qualifying tests last year, despite an investigation that concluded some of the test scores “could only have occurred by cheating.”

More updates, this time on “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark”. It took in $966,952 last week. This is not good, as the cost of running the show is over $1 million a week.

The producers have also been optimistic about earning back the show’s $75 million capitalization, but that feat would require weekly box office grosses in the $1.5 million range for several years.

Only the police should have guns department:

An apparent booze-fueled dispute over loud music between two groups at a Chino campground over the weekend escalated to the point where men from both sides drew guns and opened fire.

There were no deaths or injuries, as both sides “did not fire at each other, he said, but into the air”. Of course, what goes up must come down, somewhere…

It turns out that the rival gun-toting campers were both Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputies.
