Last month, the Bay Area News Group reported on emails that showed the Ngs were given notice of dangerous electrical problems — including a transformer fire in an adjacent space never reported to authorities — more than two years before the deadly fire, and had learned that tenants had installed power upgrades without city permits.
And, truth be told, I found the movie mildly disappointing, And not as someone unhappy about the creative license taken with the storyline or who was chosen to portray the real-life characters, That’s Hollywood, But I walked out of the theater feeling like I’d seen an extremely glossy docudrama, That said, the football scenes are realistic and full of adrenaline — the Spartans’ fatigue and heat issues in a pivotal game are captured well by director Thomas Carter (“Coach Carter,” “Save the Last Dance”), Also, it would be difficult to overstate funny ballet shirt, forget glass slippers this princess wears pointe shoes, ballet dancer gift, ballerina tee, choreography unis the inherent drama of Terrance Kelly — one of the country’s best high school players and seemingly all around good guy — being killed pretty much randomly the night before he was to escape the nasty streets of Richmond for what many believed would be a slam-dunk successful college career..

The worst surprises had to do with the double elimination at the end of the show and which dancers were “In Jeopardy.” Of the six competing couples, three were in danger — Joe Amabile and Jenna Johnson, Alexis Ren and Alan Bersten, and Juan Pablo Di Pace and Cheryl Burke (what!). Joe and Jenna were easy to understand as they have gotten some of the lowest scores on the dance floor for weeks. But Juan Pablo and Cheryl received a perfect 30 score for their jive two weeks ago, a perfect 30 for last week’s Charleston, and perfect 30s for each of tonight’s dances (an Argentine tango and a salsa)! Believe it or not, Juan Pablo and Cheryl, plus Joe and Jenna, were sent home and Alexis and Alan were safe to dance in the final.
