Fans of the fast-paced flicks have been sharing tidbits about the movie for a while now. Variety reported earlier this year, for example, that stars Vin Diesel, Paul Walker, director Justin Lin and producer Neal Moritz have signed on for the fifth version of “The Fast and the Furious.”
The Filmofilia site reported that the plot will involve Dom (Diesel) and Brian (Walker) as “fugitives being pursued by legendary lawmen.” Hmm. Intriguing.

A project that will remake the bulk of downtown Avondale Estates -- and give it its sole grocery store -- is back on.
A proposal to bring condos, shops and a Publix grocery store to a four-block area of the small DeKalb County town has been stalled since 2009, when the developer was unable to get funding for the work.
Century Retail recently told city leaders it has obtained the required re-financing and will present a timeline of the work later this summer.

For “Chefs Move to Schools”
ATLANTA,
The aim of Let’s Move! is to end childhood obesity within a generation. The Chefs Move to Schools program is an outreach opportunity for chefs around the country to adopt a local school to help solve the childhood obesity epidemic.

Les Dames is a worldwide philanthropic society of professional woman leaders in the fields of food, fine beverage and hospitality.
The Cook’s Warehouse has a long history of supporting the farm-to-school movement through community gardens and cooking classes. In November of 2009 it expanded its commitment with a daylong seminar for Decatur City Schools’ cafeteria staff, demonstrating fresh-food cooking skills and talking about farm-to-school opportunities. The second class in this series is later this month.
Mrs. Obama addressed the assembled chefs and thanked them for coming to
“We are going to need everyone’s time and talent to solve the childhood obesity epidemic and our nation’s chefs have tremendous power as leaders on this issue because of their deep knowledge of food and nutrition and their standing in the community. I want to thank them for joining the Let’s Move! campaign.
“Chefs Move to Schools will pair chefs with schools in their communities to bring fun to fruits and vegetables, and teach kids about food, nutrition and cooking in an engaging way. And by working with school food-service employees, administrators and teachers, chefs can help deliver these messages from the cafeteria to the classroom. After hearing fifth graders cheer for broccoli, I know firsthand that chefs can have a huge impact on kids’ health and well being.
“You know the joy of cooking for others, that passion that you get, the sense of camaraderie, the understanding and fulfillment that comes with seeing folks gathering around a dinner table, not just enjoying a meal, but enjoying fellowship. That is power.
“You know the central role that food plays in the moments that make us happiest. Food is always there, whether it’s at a birthday party, or Thanksgiving dinner, or quiet moments with friends. Food is at the core of what makes life wonderful.”
The Chefs Move to Schools is led by Sam Kass, White House sous chef and the food initiative coordinator. He oversaw the groundbreaking of the White House Kitchen Garden more than a year ago where local students have spent time on the South Lawn planting seeds, harvesting vegetables and learning about health and nutrition along the way.
“Through the garden, the First Lady started a discussion on the role food plays in living a healthy life. The discussion grew into the Let’s Move! campaign and like the garden, we just keep on growing.
“Today, I’m excited to announce the Chefs Move to Schools program – an opportunity for chefs around the country to adopt a local school to help solve the childhood obesity epidemic,” said Kass.
Chefs and schools that are interested in participating can sign up through www.LetsMove.gov.

Wells Fargo & Co., which acquired Wachovia Corp. little more than a year ago, has added 300 jobs statewide in recent months -- 200 of them in metro Atlanta -- as part of strategy to grow and improve service.
The San Francisco-based bank, which plans to continue hiring, has focused on beefing up its teller ranks, but it also is increasing the number of branch managers and specialists such as loan officers, Jerome Byers II, Wells Fargo's Atlanta regional president, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
