So it goes sometimes in a friendly game of golf. But golfs warm good will will be replaced by another game come winter. One, two, and three and that spells trouble for this group of lifelong friends, because all ten of them have a mortal fear of february. Nothing can be trusted the last four or five days of february. I would let my dog out and let him check out the front yard to make sure nobody was out there, because it just starts immediately and it is just a sprint. What haunts them is very real. Even makes them look a little bit creepy to outsiders. What a clown. We have got him in front here. We dont want to get too close. They are stalking, there is intrigue. And a lot of pair know, paranoia but if you look closely. Can you open up. All very recognizable as a very elaborate, very adult game. I am coiled like a Rattlesnake Ready to fire out at him soon that trunk opens. Of tag. Youre it beautiful they call themselves the tag brothers. And every february for the last 23 years expended lying in wait. I think we should be in a prime location here. That is rick brewery who enjoys hiding in a seattle parking garage waiting to ambush his buddy chris among. Wait. The it was worth the wait. The goal of the game is simple, to get rid of the tags before the end of the month. Youre it woohoo or have to live with the shame of being it all yearlong. I admit, yes, second year in a row. Second year in a row . Yes. Thanks. Nobody knows the it feeling bert than mick who is. He was tagged hours before midnight the very last day of february this year. No time to tag anyone back. How much time do i have . Five hours, maybe . Tag brothers friendships started some 30 years ago at their Catholic High School in spokane, washington. They were a pack, a group of friends who had everything and yet nothing in common, because brian denny. We werent the jobs, the smart guys, the dumb guys. Not really, we were probably the refugees from all the other cliques that didnt accept us. We found each other. We made our own gang. During a free period between classes, they were encouraged to either study or go thomas. Five of us would be not it waiting joey t as he is called says the gang opted to play tag instead. We would scatter like mice, this way, take off running that way. Joey cafaro whose nickname is beef says the stakes were always high. It was chaos for five minutes. You could chase people all through the halls. There were people knocked down. There was mayhem, it was fun. But when high school ended so did the game much to joey ts dismay because he at the tender age of 17 was the last man standing. Yeah, i was it for life. It was no good. And then in college, wedding, kids and careers. And the tag brothers scattered to the winds, some seattle, some san francisco, some boston. Reunions like this were rare. And this. So over a few beers one night they figured why not get everybody back in touch, literally. Resurrecting their game of tag seemed pretty fitting to father sean raftus. The tag game i think is symbolic of the beauty and the depth of our friendship. It is a pretty, even though it is a pretty juvenile game to play. Hiding out he grew up to be a lawyer, grew up three simple rules. February only, no touchbacks, and the rule of honesty, so if i ask you, are you it . You have got to answer truthfully and reasonably promptly and if you dont, you cant tag me. Is anything off limits . Any off limits . No, no. I dont think, so i got tagged at my dads funeral. At my dads funeral, i was in the front row so guys were coming up to communion and patting me on the shoulder and beef comes up and patted me on the shoulder and mouthed to me youre it. I kind of looked at him and i said are you kidding . Huhuh. Youre it. So i was it at my dads funeral which was fitting my dad would have thought it was funny. An hour ago i just want to let you know mark is it. Even is fair game. Does it make it harder to tag him because of what he does for a living . No, no, because he is still down with all of our humor, you know. He probably wouldnt want us to disrupt his mass and run up and tag him on the altar. Would you . I would. Maybe not all the other guys would. How are you doing, bud . The key is the element of surprise. Youre it. Hence this is my daughter, who is dressed up to be a little more of an old lady we have to wait for her. Fake moustaches are popular. This is chris playing a vagrant pan handler. The hair is attached, you know. I picked it up at halloween. A getup that had beef totally off guard. A combination you are a combination of scared and humiliated. Yes, you had been had. Failed. Hot grannie. Not to be undone, the very next day, beef went with the hag tag as it has come to be known. The girl is riding up. And went on to tag another buddy, rich. There is not a lot of dignity left at the end of the month. In waiting at a nearby park he stayed in character even to passer bys. Hey, you, i am very happy, i am singing. And when the moment arrived grannie leapt into action. You are it he left victorious, with a thrust of his cain. To the tag brothers, to an awesome weekend and to many more. Here it may be tempting to pass the tag brothers off as childish, even crazy. But i never met a funnier, friendlier group of guys. Their camaraderie is infectious and, frankly i am pretty proud of the fact that i still keep in touch with ten really good guys, and if that is not the definition of maturity and loyalty, i am not sure what is. Hello monsieur. He teaches math to the this high school. He still hears echoes of the games he played in these very halls all those years ago and is convinced tag still has a lesson to teach the next generation. Be friends. Be friends. Care for each other. Put your arms around each other. Yeah, well. Dont be afraid to push yourself to go out and connect to somebody and care about them. I should have known better. Osgood ahead, crime and punishment.

Osgood now, a page from our sunday morning almanac, october 27, 1994. 19 years ago today, the day the Justice Department reported that for the first time a number of inmates in federal and state prisons had exceeded 1 million. And that number didnt even include inmates at local jails. Americas prison ranks have been soaring since the early 1970s, when rising urban crime provoked an emotional backlash. The head of the nonpartisan bureau of institute of justice characterized to Martha Teichner last year. Tough on crime, three strikes and youre it out, let them rot, throw away the kid resulted in more mandatory sentencing, longer and longer sentencing. Osgood for years the federal and state prison population kept on growing, giving america a distinction jacobson among others sees as dubious. The United States has about five percent of the worlds population, but we have 25 percent of the worlds prisoners. We incarcerate a greater percentage of our population than any country on earth. Osgood the prison population peaked at just over 1. 6 million in 2009 and since then has been in a slight decline, california under a Supreme Court ruling to reduce prison population decreased the population by 15,000 inmates, two dozen states reduced their inmate ranks in many cases because of the high cost of incarceration, on average just over 31,000 a year per prisoner. So i is the decline in prison population merely temporary or is ate sign of something more permanent . The figures for 2013 wont be out until next year.

Osgood Mariel Hemingway won an oscar nomination for her role in woody allens 1979 film manhattan, shot when she was only 16 years old. Now he is appearing in a documentary about a real life family matter. One she discusses with mo rocca. Do you mind telling me some of the actresses that sometimes people confuse you with . Well, i get Brooke Shields often, i think that is the eyebrow connection. Michelle pfeiffer, that i always love. Heidi klum but she is a model not really an actress, i like that and i get christi brinkcally. You are getting a, you are getting good people tobacco. Yes, it is good. Actually, if you are Mariel Hemingway, life is pretty great. At 51 she has raised two successful daughters, she still looks terrific. And here at the california home, she shares with her boyfriend bobby williams, she has found time to take up plenty of new passions. Oh, my gosh, wow. Climbing trees. Boxing. Tightrope walking. So when do we walk on hot kohls . Force coals . It is the same youthful spirit that captivated us back when she was 16, when the granddaughter of literary master Ernest Hemingway got her big break and an oscar nomination in woody allens manhattan. I really did want to see i like it when you get an uncontrollable urge. That is any best feature. My boyish impetuousness. Ready to give ate try. Other acting roles followed. I knew if i didnt get outside that i would just want to cry. Now she has a new and more personal project, exploring her famous familys haunting history. The kennedy family, the kennedy have had horrible tragedies and we are sort of the other American Family that has this curse. In documentary running from crazy she talks about the pain of growing up ahem way and the string of suicides in her family. Can you list for me the members of the family and their relation to you that have taken their lives. So it is my grandfather ernests father committed suicide, clarence, my grandfather committed suicide, ernest, my great grandfather on my grandmothers side, his last name was richard fenn he committed suicide, my great uncle lester, my great aunt ursula and then there is my uncle, then there is my sister. Mariel hemingway grew up in a small Mountain Town of ketchum, idaho with her older sisters muppet and margot and parents byra and jack, the oldest son of Ernest Hemingway. Her parents relationship was miserable. They spent a lot of, i spent a lot of time out by myself in the mountains hiking because that was a place where i felt most sane, because my house wasnt sane. I didnt feel like i was crazy, but i felt like i lived in crazy. My mother and father drank wine every night and a in the documentary mariel describes the poisonous atmosphere at home. You know, they had one glass of wine and things were kind of happy, and they were actually having regular conversations. But after a couple of glasses of wine, then the alcohol kicked in, and the nastiness would happen. Big sister margot escaped idaho as soon as she could, at 19, thanks to her name and stunning good looks, she became the highest paid super model in the world. 1976, margot got an even bigger break. She was cast as the lead in the movie lipstick. And she invited mariel who had no acting experience mr. Stewart , to play her kid sister. This is my music teacher, mr. Stewart. Hi, how are you . Fine, thank you. You know you huhuh. Margots performance was savaged, mariel stole the show. She felt resentment towards me for coming in and sort of taking the limelight, which i didnt intentionally do. You are a kid. You dont know what it means. And then woody allen came calling. We. I care about you. Your concerns are my concerns. We have great sex. In manhattan, your character was sophisticated beyond her years. Was that you . She was sophisticated beyond my years. I was so unclear about what i was playing. Her role as woody allens free spirited teenage lover was a stretch considering mariel had never even had a boyfriend. Is it true that that was your first real kiss . It was the first kind of makeout kiss that had to be recorded for alltime in all of history. And the moment it was done i looked at gordy willis the camera man and said i dont have to do that again, do i . He says, no, i got it. I go, thank god. Woody probably would have loved another kiss. After the film, woody allen came to visit mariel and her family in ketchum. He did come and my dad decided he would take him for a hike. For some reason my dad decided it would be great to have him bushwhack instead of being on a trail. Woody allen bushwhacking. And i am running back to woody to make sure he is okay until finally we get to the top of this hill and he is just looks like he is exhausted, and it starts to snow. Reporter isnt this a film from a woody allen movie. I am surprised it wasnt in a woody allen film. It was extraordinary. It was a rare break from a bleak home life. Margots unhappiness was documented on film back in the eighties. This is my grandfathers house. Spent a lot of time there writing and of course thats where he died. I always felt if somebody cant go on living and creating the way they can, i mean, the way they used to, in a healthy form, in which they are accustomed to, i mean i accept the fact that he killed himself. Reporter and in 1996, margot took her own life. Oldest sister muppet suffered a series of psychotic breaks and remains under psychiatric care. Reporter do you still worry that this thing in the family, suicidal depression could come and get you like a sword of damn chess hanging over you. I can honestly tell you for the first time in my life, in the last four years i do not think some secret dark night is going to come and pounce on me which i used to for many, many years i thought, you know, it is my turn. Ready . Reporter now she says she found what is going to give her lasting happiness. How much of your happiness is due to him . I would say pretty much all of it now. He kind of taught me how to laugh. Reporter almost 40 years after we discovered Mariel Hemingway, she says she is finally found herself. The quote it is never too late to have a happy childhood, it is really true, if you want to, you can recreate a life that is right for you and that is what i have done. Osgood up next, the boy who inspired millions. I thought those days might be over. So my doctor prescribed symbicort. It helps significantly improve my lung function osgood one boys brief but inspiring life story has provided a heaven sent message of hope to millions. Tracy smith will tell us about it. My name is ben, and i am 17. Reporter Ben Breedlove seemed to be the kind of kid everyone wanted to be bright, eternally cheerful with his own popular tv show on youtube. This is the best place for girls and guys to find the answers that you need. He practically grew up on the lake behind his familys austin, texas home, wake surfing was to him as natural as taking a walk. Whoo but ben was also born with a condition called hypertrophic my zero myopathy that caused Blood Pressure and sudden cardiac arrest at various times in his life his heart did fail but it seemed to him the near death episodes were always somehow a reason to smile. At age four, ben almost died during a violent seizure, but when he woke up in the hospital, he saw something he could barely describe to his parents, sean and diane. We were down the hallway and he, you are saying there was this light about him and he even said it was a pitch white light. It is right above me, do you see it . And i said no. When, well, it was significant because the hallway that they were being wheeled down ther there were no lights n that hallway. He recovered but the vision stayed with him. As the years past bens life looked pretty much like any other kids on bad days his heart would act up and he would have to take it easy and on good days he would do things not for the faint of heart. He had this adventurous spirit and you didnt hold him back. Well that you know of. Reporter but Ben Breedlove was always mindful of the fact that his days may well be numbered. In guess of 2011, while changing classes at austins we can ladies high ben suddenly collapsed on a bench in cardiac arrest. The school nurse and emergency techs managed to bring him back and later on, ben described what he believed was another glimpse of heaven. He said he was in a white room and the peace was more than he could explain. He couldnt describe it. Reporter and he told big sister alley he had seen a place he didnt want to leave. I asked him if he was happy that he had woken up and he said, i guess. And he started crying really hard. And that was really difficult for me to hear as his sister. Reporter you know there are some people who say oh these visions can be explained. Uhhuh. Reporter by medicine, that wasnt heaven. That is just what happens when your heart stops. What would you say . I could just see it in his eyes, this peace that he felt. He said it was unexplainable. Two and a half weeks later, on christmas day, 2011, ben was out by the trampoline playing with kid brother jake when his heart gave out again. 18yearold Ben Breedlove had cheated death before, but this time would be different. All the medical things went on for quite a while in the backyard and in the ambulance, and that whole time i just wondered where ben really was. If he was still here in his body or if he had gone to where he couldnt wait to go. Reporter but when the heartbroken family came home from the hospital the next morning, a friend told them they hadnt seen the last of ben. Not really. And as they were leaving, my Business Partners wife said, you are really going to like the video, and we said, what video . Reporter a few days before he died, ben had made this. It was his story told without a single spoken word about his struggles in this life and his vision of the next. As we watched that video, our son was smiling, big, he was alive. Almost like he was giving us a message. Reporter but the message wasnt just for them. And within a few days it caught the worlds attention. All around the world with a video he posted on youtube. A rising star on youtube will gather this afternoon at his funeral. And breedlove was just 18 but left behind Ben Breedloves vision of something beyond death seemed to be just what they were longing to hear, within hours people started posting their own videos with their own messages of inspiration and hope. Youtube says that as of this morning, bens video has been viewed more than 12 million times. Alley breedlove who wrote about her brother in a new book says she has only bring herself to watch the video a couple of times. The only reason that i am able to cope with missing him every day is because i believe that he is more alive now than he has ever been. Reporter in 2011 at an associate press poll of American Adults asked do you believe in angels, nearly eight out of ten said yes. Thanks to Ben Breedlove, there may well be a few more.

Serta icomfort and tempurpedic go headtohead with three years interestfree financing. Mattress price wars are on now at sleep train. Your ticket to a better nights sleep osgood this is a theremin, musics spookiest instrument. You have heard it in many a movie, and there is a spooky story that goes with it too,. Reporter it just might be the worlds strangest spookiest Musical Instrument. You can see it. You can hear it. But you cant touch a theremin. It is like i dont you are finger painting in space. It is like having sex with ghosts. Professional theremin ist rob is a member of the new york theremin society. Which plays regularly in new york city. It is very hard instrument. There is nothing there to help you. You have no reference. Every other instrument you have something. So if you are standing in front of the other they are and theremin you are a little bit this way or that way or you have put on an eighth of a pound, your field will be different, so imagine waking up every morning if you are a violinist and have the neck be that much shorter or longer. The other they are. The, theremin is named for its inventor leon theremin. Who thought you could create an instrument that you dont actually touch. Music professor and al. Says theremins story is as mysterious as the instrument that bears his name. Leon theremin was a russian scientist, he was a spy, and inventor of what is probably the most unusual Musical Instrument ever invented, i think. You are actually moving your two hands there two electromagnetic fields that are around two antennas. Reporter in 1919, 23yearold leon theremin invented his namesake by accident. He was working in a laboratory in russia as a young scientist and he was actually working on a gas meter to measure the density of gases so as he brought his hand closer to the gas meter, he heard kind of a higher squeal, and as he brought his hand back to his body and away from the machine it was a lower squeal. And he started to play melodies on this thing, and Lab Assistants and his boss in the lab started to gather around and say well this is amazing. Reporter theremin devised a freestanding Musical Instrument based on his discovery, which he sensationally debuted in the United States in 1928. He performed in major venues like carnegie haul and the metropolitan opera house. Critics almost really didnt know what to make of it. There was one who said that if theremin had lived 500 years ago it is something he would have been burned at the stake as a source searcher. Sorcerer. Critics also didnt know theremin was a kgb spy. His mission . Industrial espionage. Which was a key reason why he turned to rca, back then a cutting edge American Electronics manufacturer to mass produce his instrument. But playing the other they are, the other they are, theremin turned out to be quite a challenge. It remained a musical oddity. Hollywood to the rescue. It turns out that theremins erie, ethereal sound were perfect for horror and suspense movies from the lowbudget to the films of alfred hitchcock. On to the sixties, when bands like Captain Beefheart made the, theremin cool. Struck tall in this, theremin renaissance a young engineer named robert moog. He got his start selling doityourself theremin kits from the basement of his queens new york home, and then went on to make some Music History of his own as the man behind the moog synthesizer. What makes moogs sound so great about the, theremin. He is an engineer in asheville, North Carolina. It can sound vocal, i it can sound like a cello, like a violin in the right hand so the musical side has been captivated by the expressiveness and the technical side of bob was captivated by the circuits, it is really kind of a cool design. And then finally there is the story behind it which is the mystery of leon theremin, right . Though moog passed away in 2005 you can hear the theremins influence in every synthesizer sold. In fact, moogs Company Still makes theremins, they are their single best selling instrument. You sell thousands and thousands of theremins. Over the years we have sold thousands and thousands. Do you think thousands and thousands of people can play th they are nine well. I know in fact now stands and thousands of people cannot play the theremin now although we are approaching hundreds and hundreds of people, which is awesome. And what became of leon theremin . One day he vanished, returned to his homeland, leaving his instrument and a Young American life behind. Years later, after the fall of the iron curtain, he and robert moog would meet face to face before theremins guest in 199 before his death in 1993.

Steve hartman has the replay. Reporter between classes, they schemed and conspired. For weeks the Football Players here at the middle school in michigan secretly planned their remarkable play. Did anybody go this is a crazy idea . No. Everyone was in on it. Like the coaches didnt know anything about it. So we were going behind their back. Coming up with a team not to score. It is like to make someones day, make someones week, just make someone happy. The play, which was two plays, actually happened at a home game earlier this month. The first part of their plan was to try to get as close to the goal line as possible without scoring. Even if it meant taking a died on the one yard line, which it did, the crowd was not happy. The quarterback parker smith. But us kids knew, may we have got this, this is our time, this is keiths time. Keith orr is the little kid in the brown jacket. He is learning disabled and struggles with boundaries but in the sweetest possible way. He because of his special nature it is no surprise that keith embraces his fellow Football Players. Hug. What is surprising is how they have embraced him we thought it would be cool because they wanted to prove he is a part of our team and meant a lot to us. Nobody can explain getting a touchdown when you have never had one before. Which brings us to part 2 of their play. If you didnt see keith it is because they were so protect if the of him. But he was in the middle of that rush. And when you crossed the goal line, what was that like . Awesome. It was like, did he just score a touchdown . It is like, oh, my god his parents carey and jim almost missed the moment but they got the significance. Somebody is always going to have his back from now until the day he graduates. She is right. When the Football Team decides you are cool, pretty much everyone follows suit. Today, keith is a new kid. Although by no means was he the only one who was profoundly changed. What was it like for you . It was like one day i was smiling like here. Wide receiver justice miller. Nothing can wipe that smile off my face. Why did it affect you so much . Because like he has never been like cool or popular, and he went from being like pretty much a nobody to making everyones day. Reporter justice admits the play was not his idea. I would not have thought of that. He says it never crossed his mind to give keith any glor. Well i glory. Went i went from somebody who mostly cares about myself and my friend to care about everyone, to make everyones day and everyones life. Which may make that touchdown the most successful football play of alltime. Osgood ahead, by the way if you came here to win a car here at the, you are at the wrong show. Laughing matters withdrew carey. To believe that cookie cutters should be for cookies, not your investment strategy. Osgood drew carey is a television performer of many talents, and he has an urge to revisit the origins of his success. Ben tracy has our sunday profile. Arthur t clark come on down. Reporter when you visit the set of the price is right and now here is your host, drew carey reporter you quickly realize why host drew carey calls this one of the happiest places on earth. [ cheers and applause ] this place is insane. What is it like to be around it every day . It is great. It is the biggest blessing in the world you are surrounded by joy, by people that are happy. Oh, my god these contestants are not just happy, they are out of their mind. Yes, they are out of their mind. Six years ago, carey took over the show, replacing bob barker who held the job for 35 years. But you cant walk into anything and do it just like bob did, you know, you are going to fail, because nobody can be bob barker, you know, i had to be me, like it or lump it. You want to say hi to somebody. He may now be known as a genial game show host. Drew carey but his roots remain in the less refined confines of standup comedy. You are, your standup act is not what i would call family friendly. No, by the way if you came here to win a car you are at the wrong bleep show. You want to talk like you do with your friends, when you are having a beer, i do it on purpose. I do it because thats the way i want to present myself, and it is really well thought out. It is not just because i am lazy. At his favorite coffee shot in Los Angeles Carey told us he is now spending weekends back where he started his career on the standup circuit. Any catholics in the crowd . You got a new pope, right, pope francis, but the old pope, he is still there. He only retired so he is still there living in the same town checking tout new guy all the time with his hands in the pocket just keeping an eye on him and Everybody Knows it, it is like bleep bob barker. If you wanted to, you could sit at home and why go work on the road and do standup . Thats a good question. I was plenty happy, believe me but i am happier while i am doing standup. It brings me a lot of joy, and i dont really care about the money, i care about the experience more than anything else. It is fun. Reporter it hasnt always been fun for the cleveland native. His father died from a brain tumor when carey was just about. He suffered bouts of depression and got kicked out of college twice before joining the marine corps reserves. Great impression for you. It is my impression of a man in a hurry. He started doing standup in local comedy club have. You ever been to your high school reunion, if you havent, dont go, you get the letter and you feel like you only have six months to make something of yourself. Welcome drew carey. Then one might in 1991, his life changed forever. Cheese and bacon that is power food, i dont care what you say, power meal, that food marches right down your throat, follow me boys, we are going to the heart carey killed it on the tonight show stage. Get the hell out of my way nothing had the importance of doing the tonight show. And then you get you are all over and then it is like hitting the lottery. You are as funny as hell. Thanks i appreciate that. Thank you. Life after that was like the icing on the cake, yeah. And success led to his own television show. I cant imagine, a personal shopper program. Mrs. Bell says he is totally behind me. Thats fine. I wouldnt be able to see him anyway. The drew carey showed started in 1995 and ran for nine seasons. At the same time, carey also hosted the improv show whose line is it anyway . That comedy combo made him a very rich man. In 1998, forbes ranked drew carey number 24 on its list of the highest paid entertainers. He made 45 and a half Million Dollars that year. I had no idea that you were making the kind of money you did at the drew carey show. Yeah, it is pretty good. 150,000 an epipoad. Thats what they say. That is crazy money. Yeah. It is crazy money. I get paid a lot of money but i dont feel that guilty about it. You know, a lot of people feel guilty, i dont deserve the money. I feel i do. I feel you are a good tipper. Yes, it is my way of spreading it around. Like 100 bucks is so much good will. It is amazing what a 100 bill does if you see me put less than 100 bucks something is wrong. Drew carey seemed to have it all. Money, game, family. He and his former fiance raise their son connor, but there was one big problem. What was the breaking point for you . When did you say, i have to lose some weight . I was just tired and run down all the time, sick of it, you know. Sick of being sick, hard to get to sleep, sick of, you know, four or five a day to keep awake. You know, just i couldnt keep up with my kids. They would run around and play tag and i was just so tired, man, when you are out of shape and fat, you are so tired, so quick. So carey cut out carbs added protein shakes and started running. How different did you feel . I still have a bit of a gut. It is good though. Not bad compared to what i used to be. He shed 80pound and kept it off for three years. When you lost all the weight, how different did you feel as a person . Oh, my god i feel like a brandnew person. I dont feel like i feel like i died and got reborn. I seriously feel like i got a chance to live a second life. Yet being fat and funny was also part of careys act and appeal. Was there any part of you that thought maybe you would be less approachable, less likable . A little bit. A lot of guys that are fat and they say, i dont know, man, because it changes you so much. I am kind of reinventing myself anyway so it doesnt matter. So you are reinventing yourself, what is your new perspective, what are you thinking differently about . When i was first doing standup i would walk on the stage as standup comic, you know, and now i am Walking Around stage as drew carey of the price is right, whose line, true carey show, here is a famous guy, somebody you get to see different. I was in a party a couple of weeks ago and this woman comes up to me and she goes, you know, if women ran the world there wouldnt be any war at all. Yeah i am sure nobody would start a fight for no bleep reason with, if women ran the world. Yeah, this is england how, how come i am being invaded . Oh i think you are knowing why. Can you tell when you are killing it or the they are being polite. Yes, i know what is a good laugh or not and i am really hard on myself. I though when i amgen winely kill and when i dont. For all of his success at age 55, carey says he still is trying to get it right. When you are over 40 and you you just you get out of the shower one day and your body looks like a fat banana. Nobody comedian gets off the stage and says that is perfect i will do that again. Everybody is like, oh, i wish i could have done thised that is a comics disease right there, it is never perfect, never. So union, that is something you have to get used to, i guess. Osgood you think this is scary . The scariest of them all, next. Insulin victoza®. For a while, i took a pill to lower my blood sugar, but it didnt get me to my goal. Osgood halloween shows have been hollywood fodder for years, which poses a challenge four david edelstein. I have been asked to pick the scariest movie ever and the task is, frankly, scary. Look, i was weaned on horror, how can i omit so many films i still carry with me like family photo . From the silents to nosferatu, to frankenstein, to psycho, to the best of all giant monster shockers, jaws, which makes you laugh at your own crazy terror. They are coming to get you, barbara. But there is one film that rises to the top, or sinks to the bottom, depending on your vantage. It is a movie made for nothing that started small, and seeped into the culture like blood into a rug. It is george romeros night of the living dead. There is a mistaken idea it is a zombie film, back then zombies meant undead slaves in haiti, most of them harmless. Romero gave us ghouls that feed on human flesh and spread their connotation like a virus. It was 1968 the height of 20th century American Social upheaval, the vietnam war seen every day on your tv, race riots, the Nuclear Family fracturing. The night of the living dead didnt happen in a vacuum. Romero poured that unrest into the film which opens with a flag fluttering in a lonely cemetery and ends with images that evoke a lynching. Those things get the house house you have had it. The hero was black, unprecedented in horror then. Jones has a manner that is not unlike sydney port i didnt, one of seven trapped in a farmhouse, boarding up windows, wild ghouls amass outside. Some scenes are clunky, the actors variable, from excellent to amateur, but the gore is still shocking. The blood runs shiny black in black and white. Romeros canted angles intensify the klaus phobia, claustrophobia, a nightmare absurdity. No no child versus mother. The years since romeros masterpiece, blood eating ghouls, zombies if you will have become commonplace. The ideas of cnbc balance lized in tv and parodied. Domesticated. You are a zombie. But night of the living dead will always be there. Like the old man in the cemetery, coming slowly but relentlessly to feed on our nerves. Osgood coming up, a stroll through the cemetery. Osgood here ask a look at the week ahead on our sunday morning calendar.

Friday is the deadline for syria to dismantle its facilities for manufacturing chemical weapons. And on saturday, the Los Angeles County museum of art on hors director Marvin Scorsese and artist david hock any hockney. Cemeteries have provided a creepy setting for plenty of halloween horror films, so why would arthur gang us consider them the spies of life . Every novelist needs a good dictionary and a nearby cemetery. That grave with regard can provide you more than your final space, it will offer historic bullet point, a bird sanctuary, excellent fictitious names and the lifelong source of a sweet column. My childhood bedroom in Rocky Mountain North Carolina overlooked pine view cemetery, it seemed my own green playground a bit over done with white rocks. There, under magnolias shelter adults staged our easter egg hunts, tucking pastel candy among chalky graves. This helped medal my sense of the soft wound dis, boundaries between salty death and lifes brief sugar high. In pine view, bullies left us little kids alone, we felt defended by mausoleums guarding like guardian aunts. One certain tombstone seemed to adopt each of us. Mine told a boy sailor drowned in the sea trade. I coughed down my first cigarette and kissed my first nonfamily member. Will. Make our own returned as honored residents feel somewhat friendlier . When grown i finally sought a home on my own in another carolina town, the realtor complained, found you one great victorian fixer upper, problem, the damned thing is against a colossal cemetery. I will take it, man but today i write overlooking the tombs of children, heroes, preachers and scamps and several scamp preachers. My beloved bone yard give bird song while not having construction noises. It is width erred roses carved to look that way, up rights and then my coffee mug steam, a signer of the declaration rests beyond here but i arrive, stay busy here signing this your way, stones are my bookmarks, graves my footnotes, they help me resurrect the next tale and the next. Cemeteries being mortal require defending too, i sure guard mine. And all of us who curate and memorize our nearby plot, we will soon discover how it and so very, so in so very little time will no questions asked return the favor. Amen.
