US Television: Breakout Kings, Episode 1.12, "There Are Rules"
Breakout Kings
Season One, Episode Twelve, There Are Rules
Original Air Date: May 22, 2011
The Breakout Kings are called into action when five men escape from prison after an 18-wheeler crashes through the wall at Attica. Ray sends Shea undercover at Attica to find out information on a sixth inmate who bailed on the escape putting Shea into danger. Meanwhile, the new chief director pays a visit to Charlie letting him know that he wants to change things around with the team and they might very well lose one of their members.
Ronald Barnes (Jeff Seymour) walks through the yard of Attica Correctional Facility in Attica, New York holding a map. He's walking as if pacing off steps to find something drawing curious looks from other inmates. He makes eye contact with two inmates, Chester Rhodes (Avery Kidd Waddell) and Sandy Clemente (Dean Chekvala). Rhodes taps on a table in front of yet another inmate, Tran Jun (Jeff Ong) who looks up from what he's writing then stands and follows Rhodes to stand before Barnes along with Clemente and a fourth inmate, Carlos Zepeda (Lombardo Boyar). An inmate behind Barnes tells him he thinks he's lost. Barnes turns and informs the man he's just enjoying the sunshine. He's told by the larger inmate that that part of the yard belongs to him and he needs to get out of there. Barnes looks to his watch and tells the man that it's funny as he was about to say the same thing to him. At that moment, an 18-wheeler crashes through the wall of the prison yard. As the guards start the lockdown, a man gets out of the truck with a gun and begins firing. Barnes, Rhodes, Clemente, Jun and Zepeda run to the trailer of the truck and get inside. In the process, Rhodes takes one of the guards hostage. A guard fatally shoots the man who drove the truck into the prison yard. The back of the trailer lowers and a black SUV drives out and through the hole opened in the wall by the 18-wheeler.

Worred about the Zombie Apocalypse? Never Fear! The CDC Has Got You Covered!
Do you often wonder what you will do if and when the zombie apocalypse occurs? Will you be able to survive or will you fall prey to one of the zombies or, even worse, not be able to make it through because you are unprepared?
Well, put your fears to rest. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have released some tips and guidelines to let you know what you should include in your survival kit and how you should plan to meet up with loved ones.
So, my friends, follow these tips! They could save your life!
The zombie apocalypse guide was originally prepared and posted on the CDC Blog by Dave Daigle, a longtime CDC spokesman. Since it was released Monday, it has drawn so many hits it crashed the CDC blog (I still can't get it to come up!).
Daigle, a 52-year-old father of four is one of several writers on the blog and said he was looking for a way to create interest in preparedness in the wake of the recent disasters in the United States and with hurricane season just around the corner. According to Daigle, "Essentially, the kids and many of the messages are the same. We have had a hard time engaging people."

US & CDN Television: Programming Notes
There are a few programming notes to report tonight.
ABC Television has moved back the season two premier of Rookie Blue from 16th June to 23rd June. The show will air Thursday, 23rd June at 10:00 p.m. (EST).
The New York Times ran a report over the weekend that CBS Television had renewed both Hawaii Five-O and Blue Bloods for a second season. Hopefully, official word from CBS will come within the next day or so but given the respectability and reliability of the New York Times, I think it's pretty safe to assume both shows are definitely returning next season.

US Television: L.J. Smith's The Secret Circle in Development for the CW Network
I've been an L.J. Smith fan for a very long time. I remember purchasing and reading The Secret Circle when it was originally published in 1992. I bought the paperbacks and had to wait for the final book in the series, The Power, to be released. The novels were so engaging and well-written that waiting for that last book was tough!
I was thrilled when the CW turned Smith's popular novels The Vampire Diaries into a series. Kevin Williamson and the fine cast and writers have turned an already amazing series of novels into a stellar television series. I was surprised the same hadn't already been done for The Secret Circle. Imagine how pleased I was to hear news that plans were moving forward to finally do just that!
