Roy Scheider
Roy Scheider, who died on February 10 aged 75, was a versatile and appealing actor who appeared in more than 70 films, including Steven Spielberg's Jaws and William Friedkin's French Connection. Despite his theatrical background, Scheider was best known for playing a string of tough-guys in film thrillers. His weathered face, doe eyes and broken nose gave him a vulnerable air which he often exploited playing down-to-earth everymen attempting to make the best of difficult situations. .

Colts Neck man arrested after threatening to shoot police
Court home after receiving a call about a domestic disturbance there, authorities said. When police arrived at the home just after 5 p.m. Thursday, Leon Murray opened a second-floor window and told police he had a gun, said Detective Sgt. Joseph Whitehead.
Murray threatened to kill the officers so he could be on the news, police said.
The Monmouth County Emergency Response Team was called, but before they arrived, the 50-year-old tried to jump head-first out of the window, police said.
But police used a ladder to secure him, and then they took him into custody, Whitehead said.
Murray was charged with terroristic threats and criminal mischief.
The domestic dispute began when Murray tried to take another family member's car without permission, police said.
She can spin a yarn
My claim to fame was I had milk-chocolate rabbits," she says. There was nowhere in Canada to get the angora processed; she had to send it to Ohio. Ruiter became a successful full-time craftsperson, selling silk and angora scarves and garments under the label Yarnspinners. But she developed carpal tunnel syndrome from the repetitive strain of operating her various looms and harvesting the rabbits' wool. After twice having surgery on both wrists, she knew her doctor was right that her work life had to change. She got rid of the rabbits. In 1994, she and Michelle borrowed money from Paul, invested in machinery and started Rovings in an Oakbank strip mall. At that point, they didn't buy a spinning machine. They took out a full-page ad in a spinning magazine, offering to process raw animal fleece into rovings.
