Franken got national attention with his grilling of NBCU President Jeff Zucker and Comcast Chairman Brian Roberts during last week's Hill hearings on the proposed $30 billion joint venture.

Schafer, 38, of Stuart, was rushed to Martin Memorial North Medical Center, where he later died. It was Martin County's first fatal shark attack, according to records going back to 1882.

We wanted it to go to a public institution," Acevedo said. The portrait went on sale in January for $400,000 together with...
