The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

So what did Obama do to get the Nobel Peace Prize?
Fri, 10/09/2009 - 1:35pm
U.S. President Barack Obama was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize just
12 days into office. FP took a quick look back at what Obama did to
improve world peace -- or, really, anything with foreign-policy
relevance -- in those two weeks. Here's what we found:
* January 21: Obama met with the ambassador to Iraq, commander in
Iraq, and regional commander to receive a complete briefing on the
* January 22: Obama ordered the closure of the Guantanamo Baydetention
* January 22: Obama signed an executive order explicitly prohibiting
the use of torture and ordering all U.S. forces to obey the Army
Field Manual. He also ordered a review of the case of Ali Saleh
al-Marri, a detainee held on a Naval brig in South Carolina.
* January 22: Obama met with numerous retired generals.
* January 23: Obama rescinded the Mexico City policy, which had
prevented nongovernmental organizations from receiving government
funding if they supplied family planning assistance or abortions
* January 23: Obama calls Prime Minister Harper of Canada, King
Abdullah of Saudi Arabia, Prime Minister Gordon Brown of Britain,
and Ban Ki-moon, secretary general of the United Nations.
* January 26: Obama announced his appointing of Todd Stern to the new
position of special envoy for climate change -- recognizing the
environment as a pressing foreign-policy concern.
* January 27: More phone calls. This time Obama speaks with Australian
Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, Colombian President Alvaro Uribe, South
African President Kgalema Motlanthe, and Prime Minister Taro Aso of
For 12 days, not bad! The resciding of the Mexico City policy, rejection
of torture, naming of the climate change envoy, and closing of
Guantanamo all seem like banner moments. Hardly equal to, say,
negotiating peace between the Israelis and Palestinians or being willing
to give up your life to end apartheid. But, not bad.
Of course, this just provides evidence of Obama's win as symbolic -- the
importance of his calls for a nuclear free world pale in comparison to
the importance of his tone and his preference for dialogue at the helm
of the world's biggest superpower.

Nobel Geopolitics
U.S. President Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize last
week. The prize was founded and originally funded by Alfred Nobel,
the inventor of dynamite. It was to be awarded to "to the person
who shall have done the most or the best work for fraternity between
nations, for the abolition or reduction of standing armies and for
the holding and promotion of peace congresses." The mechanism for
awarding the Nobel Peace Prices is very differently from the other
Nobel Prizes. They are decided upon by academic bodies, such the
Swedish Academy of Sciences. Alfred Nobel's will stated, however,
that the prize should be awarded by a committee of five selected by
the Norwegian Parliament.
The current members included the Chairman, Thorbjo/rn Jagland,
President of the Storing, and former Labor Party Prime Minister and
Foreign Minister of Norway; Kaci Kullmann Five, former member of
the Storing and President of the Conservative Party; Sissel Marie
Ro/nbec former Social Democratic member of the Storing; Inger-Marie
Ytterhorn former member of the Storing and currently senior advisor
to the Progress Party; AAgot Valle currenly a member of the Storning
and spokesperson on foreign Affairs for the Socialist Left Party.
The Nobel Committee is therefore a committee of politicians, some
still sitting in the Storning, others previous members. Three come
from the left (Jagland, Ronbc and Valle. Two come from the right,
Kullman and Ytterdhorn. It is reasonable to say that the Nobel
Peace Prize Committee is a faithful reflection of the Norwegian
landscape. The Nobel Prize committee represents the full spectrum of
Norwegian politics. Move up to here the meaning behind Norweigans
choosing that is stated from below.
The Prize was frequently surprising. For example, the first
American President to receive the prize was Theodore Roosevelt, who
received it in 1906 for helping negotiate peace between Japan and
Russia. Roosevelt's end was peace, but his reason for wanting peace
was American fear that Japan would threaten American interests in
the Pacific. One of his goals was to make certain that Japan not
eliminate Russian power in the Pacific, and not hold Port Arthur in
Manchuria, one of he prizes of the war. To achieve this peace, he
implied that the U.S. would intervene against Japan.
Roosevelt was engaged in pure power politics, trying to block Japan
from exploiting its victory over the Russians. The Japanese were
quite bitter at the American intervention. The Russians preoccupied
with domestic unrest (need to tie this sentence in... so perhaps the
Japanese victory would have been much more decisive if the Americans
had not intervened because the Russians were then preoccupied with
domestic unrest). But there was a peace treaty and there was peace.
But Roosevelt's motivations were reasserting the balance of power.
The Nobel Committee didn't seem to care about his motives, and
awarded him the prize. Given that Alfred Nobel really didn't
provide any guidance as to what he was talking about, it was as
reasonable as most Nobel prizes.
In recent years the awards have gone to political dissidents the
committee approved of such as the Dalai Lama and Lech Walesa, people
supporting political causes they agreed with, such as Al Gore.
Others were peace makers in the Theodore Roosevelt mode, such as Le
Duc Tho and Henry Kissinger for working toward peace in Vietnam, and
Yasir Arafat and Yitzhak Rabin for moving toward peace between
Israel and Palestine.
There are two things to be remembered about the Nobel Peace Prize.
The first thing is that Nobel was never clear in what he meant by
it and he decided that it should be awarded by the politicians of
a-I hope the Norwegians accept our apologies-a small, marginal and
pretty provincial country. This is not meant as a criticism of
Norway, which we have enjoyed in the past, but the Norwegians
sometimes have their own, idiosyncratic way of looking at the world.
(maybe move this up when you first mention the Norwegian motivation)
Therefore, the award to Barack Obama was neither more or less odd
than some of the previous awards made by five Norwegian politicians
no one outside of Norway had ever heard of. So long as it is borne
in mind how the decision is made and who makes it, it is simply one
of those things. But it does allow us to consider an important
question, which is why Europeans in general think so highly of
Barack Obama.
Let's begin by being careful with the term European. Eastern
Europeans and Russians-which technically are all Europeans in
core-do not think very highly of him, but see him as weak. The
British are reserved on the subject. But on the whole, other
European west of the former satellites and east of the English
Channle Channel think extremely well of him, and the Norwegians are
reflecting this admiration. It is important to understand why they
The Europeans experienced catastrophes in the 20th Century. Two
world wars wreaked havoc slaughtered generations of Europeans and
shattered its economy. After the war, much of Europe maintained
standards of living not far above that of the third world. In a
sense Europe lost everything-tens of millions of dead, empires, even
sovereignty as the United States and the Soviets occupied and
competed in Europe. The catastrophe of the twentieth century
defines Europe and what they want to get away from.
The Cold War gave Europe the opportunity to recover economically,
but only in the context of occupation and the threat of war between
the Soviets and Americans. For the Eastern Europe, a half century
of occupations by the Soviets seared their souls. For the rest of
Europe, they lived in the paradox of growing prosperity and the
apparent imminence of another war sweeping over them again, without
them being in control of whether the war would come or how it would
be fought. There re therefore Therefore there are two Europes.
One, the Europe that was first occupied by Nazi German and then by
the Soviet Union still lives in the shadow of the dual catastrophes.
The other, the larger Europe, lives in the shadow of the United
Between 1945 and 1991, Western Europe lived in a confrontation with
the Soviets, in which the questions of war and peace would be made
by the Americans and the Soviets. The Europeans lived in dread of
Soviet occupation and while tempted, could never capitulate to the
Soviets. That meant that they were forced to depend on the United
States for their defense, and they were therefore in the grip of
American will. Whether that war would be fought would be determined
by how the Americans and Russians viewed each other, not by what
Europeans thought. Every aggressive action by the United States,
however trivial, was magnified a hundred fold in European minds, as
they considered fearfully how the Soviets would respond. The
Americans were much more restrained during the Cold War than
Europeans at the time thought. Looking back, the U.S. position in
Europe was quite passive. But the European terror was that some
action in the rest of the world-Cuba, the Middle East, Vietnam-would
cause the Soviets to respond in Europe, costing them everything they
had built up.
In the European mind, the Americans prior to 1945 were liberators.
After 1945 they were protectors, but protectors who could not be
trusted not to trigger another war either through recklessness of
carelessness. Some Presidents were liked more than others but the
theme running through European thinking about the United States was
that the Americans were too immature, too mercurial and too powerful
to be really trusted. (should we mention how many thought them
It is interesting, from an American point of view, to bear in mind
that these were the same Europeans who engaged in unparalleled
savagery WC between 1914 and 1945 all on their own and without
American help, and that the period after 1945, when the Americans
dominated Europe was far more peaceful and prosperous than the
period before. But the European conviction that they were the
sophisticated statesmen and the prudent calculators where Americans
were unsophisticated and imprudent did not require an empirical
basis. It was built on another reality, which was that Europe has
plunged to a point where it had lost everything, including real
control over its fate and that trusting their protector to be
cautious was difficult, like riding in the passenger seat with an
good driver, each minor misstep is magnified many fold.
Many Presidents were loathed by the Europeans-Johnson, Nixon,
Reagan. Carter was not respected. Two were liked John Kennedy
relieved them of the burden of Eisenhower and his dour Secretary of
State Dulles who was deeply distrusted. Clinton was liked and it is
interesting to understand why that was so.
1991 marked the end of the Cold War. For the first time since 1914,
Europeans were prosperous, secure and recovering their sovereignty.
The United States wanted little from the Europeans and the
Europeans were delighted by that. It was a rare historical moment in
which the alliance existed in some institutional sense, but not in
any major active form. The Balkans had to be dealt with, but it was
the Balkans-not an area of major concern.
It is essential to understand that in the 1990s Europe for the
first time could relax. Its prosperity would not be wiped out in
another world war, and the Europeans were freed from American
domination. They could shape their institutions and they would. It
was the perfect time for them, and one that they thought would last
For the United States, September 11th changed that. The Europeans
had deep sympathy for the United States, and it was on the whole
genuine. The Europeans also believed that Bush had overreacted to
the act, threatening a reign of terror on themselves, engaging in
unnecessary wars and above all not consulting them. The latter
claim was not altogether true. The Europeans were consulted but
frequently the answer was no. The Europeans were appalled that Bush
continued his policies in spite of their objections. For the
Europeans they felt that they were being dragged back into the Cold
War for trivial reasons.
The Cold War revolved around Soviet domination of Europe. In the
end, whatever the risks, this was had to be worth the risk and the
pain of domination by the U.S. However, in their mind, the Jihadist
threat of terror simply didn't require the level of effort the
United States was prepared to put into it. The U.S. seemed
unsophisticated and reckless-cowboys.
The old view of the United States, old only in the sense that the
1990s had not required much exertion, reemerged as did the old fear.
Throughout the Cold War the fear was that a miscalculation on the
part of the U.S. would drag them into another catastrophic war.
Bush's approach to the Jihadist war terrified them and deepened
their resentment. Their hard earned prosperity was in jeopardy again
from the Americans, this time from what they saw as insufficient
reason. The Americans were overreacting, Europe's greatest dread.
For Europe, prosperity had become an end in itself. It is ironic
that the Europeans regard the Americans as obsessed with money when
it is the Europeans who put economic considerations over all other
things. But the Europeans mean something different when they talk
about money. For the Europeans, money isn't about piling it higher
and deeper. Money is about security. Their economic goal is not to
become wealthy but to be comfortable. The Europeans value economic
comfort above all other considerations. After September 11, the
United States seemed to be willing to take chances with their
comfortable economic condition that they didn't want to take. They
loathed George W. Bush for it.
They love Obama because he came to office promising to consult with
them. They understood this in two ways. One was that in consulting
the Europeans Obama would allow them veto power. Second, they
understood him as being the President like Kennedy, unwilling to
take imprudent risks. Now how they remember Kennedy that way, given
the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban Missile Crisis or the coup against Diem
in Vietnam is hard to fathom, but then many Americans remember him
the same way. They compare Obama to an imaginary Kennedy but what
they really think is that he is another Clinton.
Clinton was Clinton because of the times he lived in and not
because of his nature. The collapse of the Soviet Union created a
peaceful interregnum in which Clinton didn't need to make demands on
Europe's comfortable prosperity. Bush lived in a different world and
that caused him to resume taking risks and making demands.
Obama does not live in the 1990s. He is facing Afghanistan, Iran
and a range of other crises. It is difficult to imagine how he can
face these risks without taking actions that will be counter to the
European wish to be allowed to remain comfortable, and worse, to
allow Europe not to face what they will see as unreasonable demands.
In fact, US German relations are not particularly good, as Obama has
asked for troops in Afghanistan and been turned down, and because he
continues to call for NATO expansion, which the Germans don't want.
The Norwegian politicians gave their Prize to Obama because they
believed that he would leave them in their comfortable prosperity
without making unreasonable demands. That is their definition of
peace and Obama seemed to promise that. The Norwegians seem unaware
of the course US-German relations have taken, or Afghanistan and
Iran. Alternatively they must believe that Obama can navigate those
waters without resorting to war. It is difficult to imagine what
they make of the talks with Iran or the planning on Afghanistan. We
should mention in these graphs that the award was decided in Feb....
two weeks into Obama's term, so it was purely made on a belief of
what he would do. Also the US-German relationship wasn't going south
in Feb..... a lot was different when Obama first came into office
versus now.
The Norwegians gave their prize to the President of their dreams,
not the President who is dealing with Iran and Afghanistan. Obama
is not a free actor. He is trapped by the reality he has found
himself in and that reality will push him far away from the
Norwegian fantasy. In the end, the United States is the United
States and that is Europe's worst nightmare, for the United States
is not obsessed with maintaining Europe's comfortable prosperity. It
can't afford to be and in the end, neither can President Obama,
Noble Prize or not.s

New and Old Orchards for Suffolk is researching and providing information on several aspects of orchards:
Orchards are important for wildlife, people and our heritage. The majority of orchards in Suffolk are small, often less than 1 acre, and are often managed very little. It is this very lack of management that makes them havens for wildlife, encouraging the presence of mammals, birds and invertebrates and allowing mosses, lichens and wildflowers to flourish. Orchards may contain many varieties of fruits and nuts which are no longer commercially available, so they are an important source of varieties. Orchards are also part of our natural heritage, a social and cultural legacy that is bound up with the people and diverse landscapes of the county.
Every county has its own local traditional orchard form and Suffolk has several very different traditions. For example, the tall standard cherry trees in parkland settings in south Suffolk; ancient cobnut coppices; and numerous small farmhouse orchards with a rich mix of crop trees. There are few large commercial orchards.
Traditional orchards often have a rich mix of habitats such as standing fruit and nut trees, decaying and dead wood, grassland, scrub, ponds and hedges. Many Suffolk orchards have been abandoned or hardly managed for decades, escaping the chemical spraying routines that make orchards virtually sterile. This variety of habitats is not only enjoyable for people; it allows different species to take advantage of a range of food types and hiding places. For example a Sturmer apple tree may be only 60 years old, but have the rot holes, decay and habitats of a veteran tree and so be attractive to several types of invertebrate.

"No one believe us! But it's true! It's true!" cries Andre at the Salvation Army shelter on NW 38th Street. "It mean there's no one left in the sky watching us but demons." His friends sitting on the shelter patio chime in with Bloody Mary sightings: She flew shrieking over Charles Drew Elementary School. She stalks through Little Haiti, invisible to police cars. "I know a boy who learned to sleep with his eyes open, but she burned through a shelter wall to get him!" a seven-year-old boy says. "When the people found him, he was all red with blood. Don't matter if you're good, don't matter if you're smart. You got to be careful! If she see you, she can hunt you forever. She's in Miami! And she knows our face.

@donnac84 No she is not new, but I'm guessing you did not grow up with the folklore of the homeless kids. Middle class white kids play with the occult, the desperate live it. Do not condescend to that which you do not know.
@donnac84 The point of the article is the way in which street children are repurposing common legend.
@donnac84 Man you are dense.
@donnac84 No shit. The rest of the legend is unique though, which makes it interesting. You're not some sole arbiter of secret information.

Tax Compliance:
Offshore Financial Activity Creates Enforcement Issues for IRS
GAO-09-478T: Published: Mar 17, 2009. Publicly Released: Mar 17, 2009.

Much offshore financial activity by individual U.S. taxpayers is not illegal, but numerous schemes have been devised to hide the true ownership of funds held offshore and income moving between the United States and offshore jurisdictions. In recent years, GAO has reported on several aspects of offshore financial activity and the tax compliance and tax administration challenges such activity raises for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). To assist the Congress in understanding these issues and to support Congress's consideration of possible legislative changes, GAO was asked to summarize its recent work describing individual offshore tax noncompliance, factors that enable offshore noncompliance, and the challenges that U.S. taxpayers' financial activity in offshore jurisdictions pose for IRS. This statement was primarily drawn from previously issued GAO products.
Individual U.S. taxpayers engage in financial activity involving offshore jurisdictions for a variety of reasons. When they do, they are obligated to report any income earned in the course of those activities. They are also required to report when they control more than $10,000 in assets outside of the country. However, much of this required reporting depends on taxpayers knowing their reporting obligations and voluntarily complying. Some taxpayers do not comply with their income and asset reporting obligations. Limited transparency, the relative ease and low cost of establishing offshore entities, and an array of financial advisors can facilitate tax evasion. IRS's Qualified Intermediary program has helped IRS obtain information about U.S. taxpayers' offshore financial activity, but as the recent case against the large Swiss bank UBS AG underscores, the program alone is insufficient to address all offshore tax evasion. Earlier, GAO had recommended changes to improve QI reporting, make better use of reports, and enhance assurance that any fraudulent QI activity is detected. IRS examinations that include offshore tax issues can take much longer than other examinations. GAO's past work has shown that from 2002 through 2005, IRS examinations involving offshore tax evasion took a median of 500 more calendar days to develop and examine than other examinations. The amount of time required to complete offshore examinations is lengthy for several reasons, such as technical complexity and the difficulty of obtaining information from foreign sources. However, the same statute of limitations preventing IRS from assessing taxes or penalties more than 3 years after a return is filed applies to both domestic and offshore financial activity. The additional time needed to complete an offshore examination means that IRS sometimes has to prematurely end offshore examinations and sometimes chooses not to open them at all, despite evidence of likely noncompliance. In testimony before Congress, the Commissioner of Internal Revenue has said that in cases involving offshore bank and investment accounts in bank secrecy jurisdictions, it would be helpful for Congress to extend the time to assess a tax liability with respect to offshore issues from 3 to 6 years.

A Zimbabwean court has ordered a senior official in the party of Morgan Tsvangirai, the Zimbabwean prime minister, back to jail to await trial on terrorism charges.
Authorities detained Roy Bennett, the treasurer of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), on Wednesday following orders from magistrate Lucy Mungwari.
"I commit the accused person to prison. If there is any defect in the process, the accused should raise it before the High Court," Mungwari said.
Bennett is accused of illegally possessing arms for the purpose of banditry, terrorism and inciting acts of insurgency. He was ordered to appear in court on Monday.
He denies the charges against him.
'Terrorism' plot
Bennett was first jailed for a month in February on charges of plotting "terrorism", but was later released on bail in March.
A white coffee farmer whose property was seized under the previous government's controversial land reform programme, Bennett is Tsvangirai's pick as deputy agriculture minister in the country's unity government.
But Robert Mugabe, the Zimbabwean president, has refused to swear him in until he is acquitted of the charges.
Mugabe and Tsvangirai formed a unity government in February after months of political wrangling, but differences between the former rivals remain.
The prime minister's party on Wednesday accused Mugabe's Zanu-PF party of being behind Bennett's indictment.
It called the court order "another serious attack on the credibility of the inclusive government".
"Zanu-PF has invented yet another technicality to have him detained without trial on trumped-up charges of banditry and terrorism," a party statement said.
"The banditry charges are trumped-up and they poison the letter and spirit of the inclusive government" and the unity deal, it added.

King Tides as they are often called, give planners a look at what potential future sea level rise may look like. Read more

In about a year, downtown Kansas City will see one of its grand old bank buildings become a chic boutique hotel, the Kansas City Star reports.
The developer, Paul Coury of Tulsa, Okla., plans to run the hotel as an independent instead of paying a big chain to tap its customers.
"People pick hotels that reflect their personality," he told the paper. "Having an independent flag lets me do special services and amenities that don't fall under some corporate standard."
Coury bought the former Gate City National Bank building and plans to spend $11 million turning it into a 43-room upscale hotel called the Grand Hotel, the paper says. The goal is to chase business travelers and social events.
The bank - with two, 36-foot columns at the entrance - first opened in 1920. Earlier this decade, the building housed a nightclub.
When it opens, the hotel will be the latest improvement along Grand Boulevard near the Sprint Center and the Kansas City Power and Light District.
Readers: How often do you look for boutique hotels when traveling in new cities?

And isn't it even weirder that most movies on the lists are American (mine included)? Didn't the other countries produce anything more worthy of being on the best of the decade than, say, Die Hard (which I love, by the way)? http://www.moviemezzanine.com/ Sam Fragoso Weird is not the right word. It's all arbitrary — as I mentioned. Ranking art is silly, though a nice way to open up discussion. Hundreds of thousands of movies? Chances are most people haven't seen more than a few hundred from the 1980s. As for foreign film … that's on you. Whether you include foreign films or not is entirely dependent on what you've watched. gustavomda But that's what I mean! Having seen less than, say, 3% of the movies made in a whole decade, how can one possibly pick the 10 best ones? http://cinemasights.com/ James Blake Ewing So you're basically complaining that movie-viewers aren't omniscient cinema gods who have seen an absurd number of films before they can make a personal list of favorites? We are human beings who can only know so much. Every top x of a decade is going to be based upon an incomplete amount of knowledge. gustavomda No, of course not. I'm only saying there's a saturation of films in English, whereas other countries and cultures also produce movies worthy of figuring on these lists which are ignored. Squasher88 I'm with Sam on this one. It can be quite arbitrary. Having a top 10 list that only has American films doesn't mean you don't watch foreign films. For example, you could have watched 30 foreign films and 20 American films for the decade and your top 10 could still be only the 10 American films. It always irritates me when people make assumptions like "your favourite films are American, so you obviously haven't watched foreign films." People like what they like. gustavomda Yeah, but since so many top x lists feature almost exclusively American films, what's the logical conclusion? That the USA alone makes films better than all the rest of the world? Squasher88 I agree that generally, it's a shame that foreign films don't get more recognition. However, I've seen instances were a blogger posts a top 10 list and someone criticizes them and says "not enough foreign films". That's what I take issue with and I find it offensive at times. It's simple, American films feature highly because they are more readily available. Also, I strongly believe that the best of American cinema compares well with the best of foreign film. Yes, Hollywood produces a lot of crap, but that's expected considering the larger output. Also the crap often makes a lot the money and gets a lot of visibility, which warps of perception of the quality of American cinema. Foreign cinema is no different actually. We only know about the best ones due to festivals etc, but there are hundreds that we don't hear about that are just as bad as the worst of Hollywood. gustavomda But it's unfair American movies should feature more on lists simply because they have more visibility. I mean, not to say it's wrong that people like what they like, and of course there are lots of bad "foreign" movies (American movies are foreign to me too, so…), but maybe they should try and learn more about foreign cinema, beyond what they get through festivals etc. Squasher88 It may seem unfair, but that's the reality. Unless you're advocating illegal downloads, I don't see how we're supposed to learn more about foreign cinema. We certainly don't get many of them in theaters. For example, I really want to watch to "Omar m'a tuer" (started watching it on a flight). It's been 2 years and it's still unavailable for me to watch. gustavomda Don't you have the criterion collection and such? Don't you get them on cable tv, netflix etc? I don't mean all of it, of course. Sure there are lots of things which take so long to be available. But not movies of the 80s. The ones I think should be on more lists here, for example, I've seen on dvd – either rented or bought. Squasher88 Fair point, but those are still limited to hand-picked festival favourites, select auteurs, award winners etc. Even if you decided to watch a lot of those there will still be many more American movies available to watch. In the end, those American films are often the ones that you are dying to watch because everyone is talking about them, while you'll select a few highly-rated foreign films to watch and hopefully you'll love them too, but there's no guarantee. gustavomda Of course there are more American movies available to watch. I'm not saying otherwise. But if you only watch them, you're missing some great stuff being made overseas and contributing to keep the rule of American culture intact. http://cinemasights.com/ James Blake Ewing It's not weird that most of them are American because most movie-viewers that come to these sites are English speakers and watch a lot of films in English. However, I still think it's a problem and I'd even go so far as accuse many movie-buffs of being lazy by saturating themselves in American cinema when there are so many countries producing astounding movies in this period of time. I think the '80s was a vibrant time for foreign cinema and it is sad to see a lot of American films dominate this list when films like Wenders, Studio Ghibli, Woo, Kiarostami and more are making fantastic films. gustavomda But you see, that's an issue even with non-English speakers. I myself am from Brazil, and people have a culture of knowing and liking American cinema above all else. When it's not American cinema, it's Italian, French, you name it. Never – or rarely at best – Brazilian cinema. I don't know how it's like in the rest of the world but that may be the case in other countries which are more strongly influenced by American culture. Feelm I'm DISGUSTED, if not surprised, at the sheer volume of Ferris Bueller inclusions on here. LOATH that movie. gustavomda I like it a lot, but wouldn't dare pick it as one of the ten best movies of the entire decade Squasher88 Well, you'll just have to deal with it haha. You are in the minority on that one. Vintage 80s. Feelm Such is my burden as someone who knows how bad that film sucks gubblerchechenova Feelm, Feelm, Feelm. Jwier85 1. Paris, Texas 2.

Rotfl. moviewise For me, Lucas is a good film because it has this Life Lesson: "Just because you like someone does not mean they will like you back," as well as an actual discussion of Darwin and natural selection. It's also a movie that depicts teens as humane and caring individuals rather than shallow and crude, which is a more typical characterization. Finally, I like the clapping scene in the end. It is touching. Dirty Dancing, likewise, has a profound Life Lesson: "Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect." It is a film that depicts classism (Ivy League vs. working class) and chauvinism (rape and illegal abortion) in a complete environment. A whole world is created, as opposed to a scene tacked on to a movie to give it more depth. Also, the music is fantastic, and I like the ending dance scene. Yep. Great Movies both. gubblerchechenova "Just because you like someone does not mean they will like you back," You mean you had to see this movie to figure this out? "Everyone deserves to be treated with dignity and respect." Sure, but respect, like money, has to be earned. If you stick your ass out to be rubbed by the groins of other men out in public, it's hardly gonna win you any respect. I mean if a guy with a long dick pulls down his pants and sucks his own dick in public and demands respect, most people aint gonna give him that. if a woman sticks her ass out and farts in the bus out loud and says she wants respect, she aint gonna get it. Sex is wonderful and why we exist. But it belongs in the bedroom. If you wanna dance like you wanna fuck, just get a hotel room and do some fucking. Better for both parties. moviewise Re: <> It's a general Life Lesson taken from the movie. Wether it is the first time someone has been exposed to this idea depends on how young they are when they see the movie. But, I think it is a really hard lesson for some people to accept, the most extreme example would be stalkers and their ilk. I think it is hard for some teens to accept that the extent to which they like someone has no bearing on whether that other person will reciprocate. It's probably one of the first heart breaks, and the movie Lucas shows this really well. It zeroes in on all of these dynamics while still being uplifting. re: <> We may have different definitions of respect. By treating someone with "respect" I mean being "respectful." In its very basic form, it's just a matter of good manners. For example, if someone says, "Hi" to you, you should acknowledge them and greet them back. Even if you don't like them for some reason, they are still human beings. If someone extends out their hand to thank you, you should graciously accept it. In the movie, the father, who is a doctor, looks down on Johnny, and refuses to shake his hand because he thinks Johnny is a lowlife. Until the last scene, that is, when the doctor learns more about Johnny and realizes that he had misjudged him. There are more profound reasons to treat everyone with respect, having to do with living in a shared society, acknowledging other people's pain and suffering, wanting to treat others as you would like to be treated etc. etc. Eric Lane 1.

A Microsoft Smartphone? After Surface Tablet, It Might Just Happen
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- After releasing its own branded tablet, Microsoft (MSFT) is now reportedly exploring the possibility of producing a Windows 8 smartphone under its own label.
According to a Wall Street Journal story, the Redmond, Wash.-based company has been working with a number of Asian manufacturers to create prototypes of Windows phone designs under the Microsoft brand, just as it's done with the Surface line of Windows 8 tablets and similar to the way rival Apple (AAPL) successfully markets its wares.
People with knowledge of the situation believe the prototype has a screen somewhere between the size of the Apple iPhone 5's 4-inch screen and the Samsung Galaxy Note II's 5.5-inch display. That spec could also describe most of the new phones currently in the process of being released by Microsoft's partners that run the Windows Phone 8.
For the first time ever, Microsoft's phone operating software is now based on the full-blown Windows OS (NT kernel). It can run only on new hardware. Minimum new-phone specifications include faster Qualcomm (QCOM) S4 Snapdragon processors, 512 MB of RAM, 4 GB of built-in storage and microSD memory card support.The experts believe Microsoft is far from making a decision on the smartphone. That move would probably not be appreciated by its current hardware partners including Nokia (NOK) (which has bet everything on producing Microsoft-based OS devices), HTC and Samsung, among others. As you might expect, Microsoft isn't saying much.

So where to begin??? I went to Wales a couple of months ago and did a couple of old school classics, Jerry's Roof and Bus stop (both v9) and flashed King of Drunks (v6) the same day. I then had a shot at Mr Fantastic, the v12 link up made famous my Mark Katz in Stick It, and in a few tries managed to fall of going up Bus Stop (which now feels like the living end). Was really psyched but sort of feel like it could be climbed on v9 strength with v12 keenness. I'll hopefully get back in the autumn (ripped, with a boombox and my hair a bit longer) and do it but I don't think it'll really make me a v12 boulderer as it has no hard moves.
Also went to Queen's crag for the first time. The lines here are amazing but they are all quite scary looking. I had a good day ticking all the least scary problems. Almost flashed the amazing Worldline (v8) and did The Power is ON! (v9). Well keen to go back and try Queen Kong on a brave day.
Other than that I rekindled my love hate relationship with the Yorkshireman sit start at Kyloe In. Being a punter I spent about 8 sessions too many getting up the thing, although my ascent was dubious to say the least as I missed out the first move. Basically I hate that first move to the jam; it wrecks my skin and my bum touches the ground from the jam so I ended up just starting there. Admittedly in some people's books this will totally invalidate my ascent but I sort of feel like I'll finish it off properly one day as there's no doubt I'll be going back to Kyloe at some point.
Also had a very hot day trying the easiest v11 in the world- Purely Belta at Shaftoe. There's basically no way this is 8a, more like 7b+, and it's not even a very good problem but I'm still drawn to it, not because it's that hard but because it gets a big grade. You could argue big grades don't mean anything, especially when they are so blatantly wrong, but for me they do: they mean some wad, for whatever reason, found the problem relatively difficult and sufficiently difficult to warrant a big grade. Mmmmm grades....
Anyway I'm now very much back in routes mode, albeit very bouldery ones, with a project at kilnsey, a project at malham and a trip to das Frankenjura next month I'll be sure to keep it old school. Tabou Zizi for now!

MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) - The star of the television show "Judge Joe Brown" has been arrested and charged with five counts of contempt of court in Tennessee.
Shelby County Juvenile Court officials said the 66-year-old Brown was sentenced to five days in jail after causing an outburst Monday in a courtroom hearing. A spokesman for the Shelby County Juvenile Court, chief Magistrate Judge Dan Michael, said Brown appeared to have been representing a client who was accused of not paying child support. Michael said Brown caused a spectacle in court by yelling and repeatedly challenging the juvenile court magistrate's authority.
Joe Brown is currently running to be the top prosecutor in Shelby County. Memphis is the county seat.
Officials with juvenile court and the sheriff's department don't know if Brown has a lawyer.
