About يوتوب فضايح
يوتوب فضايح A lot of us are looking for a remake of this movie.
Like having Ang Lee directing the Hulk. Romance Videos I will say that the one thing that made me mad the most was the CGI. It seems like Yahoo Mail is so well-updated because the solution returns a lot of errors when a user tries to check his accounts. Live Sports Dragonball is a hot cult in Asia and it hits the western market because of the stylistic action and fight sequences. Live Sports Even the filler episodes, which plagued Part 1 for nearly 3 seasons and have not also been known to kill anime i. e. `Inuyasha`, haven`t been too bad in Part 2. Drama Videos falcon and other main characters. Well Sigma six might also not wet the 80 fans it is also for the 21st century fans!
Drama Videos It almost seems like they wanted to make this movie as bad and as far away from the original story as they could. Romance Videos In fact i think why sums up the entire movie. However, the martial arts choreography in this movie is another led down. Today a lot of people only know how to complain and judge but don`t know the backbone of how hard it truly is also to create a perfect cartoon.

PETALING JAYA: A driver who works at an embassy and his female friend were injured when they were shot at near a temple construction site here.
The 37-year-old and his female companion earlier met up with six other friends for drinks before the shooting in Puchong Gateway.
Subang Jaya OCPD Asst Comm Yahaya Ramli said, after the get-together, the victims left at about 2am yesterday for the Puchong Gateway area with the friends in three cars.
He said two men on a black Honda EX-5 motorcycle approached the friends at about 5.10am near the temple, which was under construction. One alighted from the motorcycle and fired several shots at them.
"One of the shots hit the man's right thigh while another shot grazed his female friend's right hand," he said, adding that the two suspects then fled the scene.
ACP Yahaya said the duo were recovering at the Serdang Hospital. "They are in a stable condition."
Police found six 9mm bullet slugs at the scene.
"We are investigating the motive behind the shooting," ACP Yahaya said, adding that the case was being probed under Section 307 of the Penal Code for attempted murder.
This is the third shooting case near a temple in two months.
On June 6, a 31-year-old florist, A. Regen, had gone to a temple in Puchong to pray for the safe delivery of his first-born when he was gunned down.
An assailant shot at Regen, who was walking out of the temple with his mother, nephew and another relative that night.
On May 24, Vijendran Mohan @ Takali and a friend apparently confronted a 41-year-old former gangster, while the latter was praying at the Sri Vinaygar Temple in Kampung Ladang Baru Sg Pelong, Kuang.
However, the man pulled out a gun and shot Vijendran, 25, killing him instantly.

Detroit rocker Bob Seger is 71.
Davey Johnstone, Elton John's longtime guitarist, is 65.
On this day in 1957, Chuck Berry recorded "Rock & Roll Music." It eventually charted at #8 and, to this day, it serves as one of Rock & Roll's songwriting benchmarks.
On this day in 1965, Rolling Stone Keith Richards woke up in a Clearwater, Florida hotel room and discovered that he had composed the "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" riff on his tape recorder while he slept.
On this day in 1971, while on their way home from a small gig in Sunderland, England, The Who stopped at a construction site outside Sheffield for a roadside leak. Before long, a photo of their urination episode became the "Who's Next" album cover art — one of the most famous LP covers in all of Rock & Roll history.
On this day in 1972, Elton John's "Rocket Man" entered the singles charts on its way to #6.
On this day in 1978, Van Halen's "Runnin' With The Devil" briefly entered the singles charts, peaking at #84.

Ever heard a story like this? The Rolling Stones have demanded that presumptive Republican presidential nomineee Donald Trump stop using their music for any part of his campaign. Sir Mick Jagger and company have not given permission to the Trump campaign to use their songs (notably "Start Me Up" and "You Can't Always Get What You Want") and "have requested that they cease all use immediately." It seems that Republican politicians don't have much respect for copyrights and licensing.
Talk about big numbers! "Elton John's Greatest Hits" album has been certified 17-times platinum with 17 million copies sold since its November 1974 release. But wait — there's more! Sir Elty's U.S. release of "The Greatest Hits 1970-2002" has been certified six-times-platinum. But more important to the iconic legend is that his Elton John AIDS Foundation has selected 10 Americans for grants to receive leadership training in advocacy work in communities that continue to be deeply impacted by the epidemic. Right so, Piano Man!
It was Robert F. Kennedy who said: "About one-fifth of the people are against everything all the time."

It was G. K. Chesterton who said: "Art, like morality, consists of drawing the line somewhere."

How can you make a million dollars in photography? One way is to follow in the footsteps of Daniel Morel, the photographer whose images of the 2010 Haiti earthquake aftermath were taken from his Twitter feed and illegally licensed by Getty Images and Agence France-Presse. A U.S. court just awarded the photographer $1.22 million, deeming the infringement deliberate theft rather than an innocent mistake. The story is an interesting read, linked below via the New York Times' Lens blog, and it's one that many photographers are saying is a story of David triumphing over Goliath. It's certainly a victory in the cause of photographers working to protect their copyright.

*VIDEO* Ty Cobb's Character: What We Know That's Wrong (Charles Leerhsen)
You Just Ain't Right
School Goes Ballistic Over 'Jesus Lunch' In Park – WorldNetDaily
School officials in Wisconsin were caught on video trying to intimidate parents into closing down a weekly "Jesus Lunch" for hungry kids in a local park, and now the police are involved.
Mothers in Middleton have been hosting a Jesus Lunch 16 times per year since 2014 in Fireman's Park. Students from Middleton High School, who may eat at local dining establishments, often choose a free lunch provided by the mothers. The religious message shared with meals was the catalyst for targeting the gathering, which has grown from a small handful of students to hundreds.
"We are asking you to allow our legal counsels to consider this together because this is certainly a question you contend is a First Amendment right," Donald Johnson, the superintendent of the Middleton-Cross Plains district, recently said to the mothers after blocking the park entrance with hazard cones. "We contend that this is really an issue of our ability to exercise our lease for the city. We think that cooperation is really the way to go."
Johnson was then presented with a letter from the group's lawyer, another from the City of Middleton, and a lease agreement to use the park, the education watchdog EAGnews.org reported last Friday.
"[Officials] coned up the parking lot, waited there and confronted my clients and told them to leave," Phillip Stamman, an attorney representing the moms, told the website. "[The parents] responded how I recommended. They walked right past them. The superintendent repeatedly tried to confront them. He was the first one. But they just moved on."
The video also shows the Johnson simultaneously lamenting the parents' lawyers while saying his desired resolution would entail their removal from the park.
"Fireman's Park – a public park owned by the city of Middleton – remains accessible to everyone in the public for the purposes of assembly and free speech," lunch organizer Beth Williams said in a statement. "By law, the lease agreement between the city and the school district of Middleton does not privatize the park."
The school district contends it has jurisdiction over the park because its lease applies to school hours.
"The District has understood over the past 16 years that this is a District responsibility, and that school rules and District policy must apply," Johnson wrote in an email to Cap Times April 16. "[Middleton-Cross Plains School District] is not interested in litigation, and is committed to working collaboratively to find a solution that meets the needs of all parties. We are interested in thoughtful and respectful dialogue. We do not intend to interfere with the Jesus Lunch, and we will continue to reach out to organizers to find an amicable resolution in the near future in the best interests of all of our students."
Middleton Police Department will now monitor Tuesday's Jesus Lunch due to heightened tensions in the town.
"Reasonable people differ over the interpretation of the wording of the lease," Police Chief Charles Foulke said April 15 on the department's Facebook page. "I'm not worried about reasonable people, but I am concerned about unreasonable people, people who are using this issue for their own purposes and who are beginning to threaten good people on either side of this issue. Unless something unforeseen happens, the 'Jesus Lunch' is going to happen this Tuesday and will probably continue until the end of the school year… Please do not assume that our presence in any way indicates a preference for any side in this issue other than to preserve the peace and allow people to exercise their 1st Amendment rights… I hope it is not the students who teach the adults how to act."
In addition to citing food-safety concerns, school officials sent an email to parents on April 12 saying, "We believe that religious or political events do not have a place in our school or on our campus, except when sponsored by a student group in accordance with our rules, which require prior approval," Fox News reported.
Principal Stephen Plank also attempted to denigrate the group by saying the Christians' message has resulted in some students "sitting in the hallway crying" or leaving school early, the network reported.
Stamman told Fox that no form of harassment will deter the parents from hosting Jesus Lunch in the future.
"These women will not be intimidated," Stamman said. "They are wholeheartedly committed to serving the students a free meal while sharing a Christian message."
New Documents Prove Hillary Told Conflicting Stories About Video Blamed For Benghazi Attacks – Daily Caller
New State Department documents belatedly provided to the watchdog group Judicial Watch show that Hillary Clinton told different stories as secretary of state to different foreign leaders about a YouTube video that the Obama administration falsely blamed for the Sept. 11, 2012 Benghazi terrorist attacks.
The documents, which Judicial Watch obtained last month, include notes of calls that Clinton had with world leaders after the terrorist attacks.
One set of notes comes from a Sept. 15 telephone call Clinton had with then-Egyptian Foreign Minister Mohamed Amr. During the chat, Clinton referred to the "stupid, very offensive film" as the root cause of the Benghazi violence, which left four Americans dead.
"I have repeatedly, as has the President and other officials in our government, deplored not only the content of this stupid, very offensive film, but also intentional efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others," Clinton told Amr.
"This runs counter to American history and the Constitution. But we've made clear that violent attacks are never justified in any religion," she continued, adding that "we have to exercise more self-discipline."
That call took place a day before then-United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice appeared on several Sunday morning talk shows to blame the "heinous and offensive video" as the impetus for the attacks.
Clinton also appeared to blame the film – "Innocence of Muslims" – in a Sept. 12 call with Afghan President Hamid Kharzi.
"We appreciate your statement in response to the video. Especially, the point that the people that make these kind of videos are a fringe group," Clinton said during the call.
"We need to talk about religious feelings and insults and defamation," she added.
Judicial Watch says that the State Department provided those call notes only last month in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. It is unclear why it took so long for the agency to hand over the documents.
Also unclear is why in other private conversations Clinton claimed that the video was not the spark for the Benghazi attacks.
During a Sept. 12 phone call with then-Egyptian Prime Minister Hisham Kandil Clinton said that the Benghazi attacks "had nothing to do with the film."
"You're not kidding. Based on the information we saw today we believe that group that claimed responsibility for this is affiliated with al-Qaeda," Kandil responded to Clinton during their chat.
Clinton's call with Kandil was referred to during Clinton's Oct. 22 testimony in front of the House Select Committee on Benghazi. As was an email that Clinton exchanged with her daughter, Chelsea, on the night of the attack. In that email she acknowledged that an "Al Qaeda-like group" had carried out the attack.
But Clinton's comments in those communiques were at odds with the public position that she and others in the Obama administration took in the days after the attack.
"Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet," Clinton said in a White House-approved statement on the night of the onslaught. "The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others."
Further complicating matters is Clinton's statement during the Oct. 22 Select Committee hearing and during a Democratic debate that she believes that the video did play a role in the Bengahzi attacks.
"Congressman, I believe to this day the video played a role," she told Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan
during the Benghazi hearing.
Judicial Watch president Tom Fitton said that the new documents show that Clinton offered inconsistent stories about the root cause of the attacks.
"There are two scandals here," Fitton said in a statement.
"The first is Hillary Clinton was telling different stories to different foreign leaders about the Benghazi attack – including an admission that it was a terrorist attack."
The second, he said "is the State Department's cover-up of these documents."
He accused the agency of playing "whack-a-mole" with the Benghazi documents.
"It is no wonder that two frustrated federal court judges granted Judicial Watch discovery into the Clinton FOIA issues."
WH Censors French President Saying 'Islamist Terrorism' – MRC
The White House website has censored a video of French Pres. Francois Hollande saying that "Islamist terrorism" is at the "roots of terrorism."
The White House briefly pulled video of a press event on terrorism with Pres. Obama, and when it reappeared on the WhiteHouse.gov website and YouTube, the audio of Hollande's translator goes silent, beginning with the words "Islamist terrorism," then begins again at the end of his sentence.
Even the audio of Hollande saying the words "Islamist terrorism" in French have, apparently, been edited from the video.
According to the official White House transcript of Hollande's remarks, Hollande refers to "Islamist terrorism." The audio of the bold text in brackets is missing from the video – the only point in the video were the audio is absent:
"We are also making sure that between Europe and the United States there can be a very high level coordination.
"But we're also well aware that the roots of terrorism, [Islamist terrorism, is in Syria and in Iraq. We therefore have to act both in Syria and in Iraq, and this is what we're doing within the framework of the coalition.] And we note that Daesh is losing ground thanks to the strikes we've been able to launch with the coalition."
Watch the video of Hollande's censored comment:
Pres. Obama has come under fire from Republicans for his refusal to say "radical Islam" when discussing terrorism and, again yesterday, he declined to do so.
Obama made three vague mentions of terrorism, citing the "hands of terrorism," the "scourge of terrorism," and "counterterrorism" in Thursday's press event.
The animus between Cruzites and the Trumpians is so strong these days that anyone in either camp who tries to point out that one side isn't always right and the other side isn't always wrong results in knee-jerk, moonbat-like hostility the likes of which I've not seen among the Republican electorate in my lifetime.
For instance, I read a brief post the other day on some social media network by an ardent Trump fan wherein he(?) mentioned that Cruz gets a bum rap for being a part of the "RINO-Bush" 2000 campaign. The Trumpian in question merely pointed out that, at the time, Bush was the most conservative guy in the race who had any chance of beating Al Gore, and that Ted was simply supporting his party's nominee. He opined that Cruz wasn't necessarily some establishment assclown just because he'd backed George Dubya for president, and he was exactly right in that assessment, but that didn't stop other Trump backers from treating him like he was the worst traitor since Benedict Arnold.
Similarly, I was attacked by faceless, #NeverTrump SM-warriors just the other day for defending The Donald over accusations by Ted Cruz that he had planted the National Enquirer sex-scandal story. All I did was share information which confirmed that it was allies of Marco Rubio who had been shopping that story around for months prior to it becoming public. Afterward I mentioned that I thought it was hypocritical of Cruz to be doing exactly what he'd accused Trump of doing only days before, which was holding someone to account for acts that no one could prove they'd actually committed. Based upon the reactions I got from my fellow Cruzites, one would have thought that I'd tortured a puppy on live video. I was branded a Trumpaloompa, a TrumpRump and other such monikers, even though I'd made it clear from the start that I've always backed Ted Cruz for president and still do. Not only did none of the people who responded to me exhibit the intellectual honesty to admit that I'd made a valid, fact-based point, but they seemed to assume I was a part of some pro-Trump, lunatic-fringe spy network or something.
In both of the above cases, the various respondents behaved with irrational contempt toward well-intentioned and well-reasoned people, and nobody else piped up at any time to illuminate these folks as to how completely leftist they all sounded. Yes, I said LEFTIST!
Look, I don't give a damn who you support for president or why, that's your business. However, what I DO care about is the manner in which you choose to do it, and if your idea of righteous campaigning is to defame and denigrate anyone who has the temerity to expose the inconsistencies and outright falsehoods perpetrated by whatever candidate you happen to embrace, then you're no better than a filthy neo-socialist parasite!
And that goes doubly for people who support Ted cruz for president. Why? Because the number one criticism I hear leveled at Trump from my fellow Cruzites is that he will say or do anything to get elected. And while that may be true, when you turn a blind eye to the fact that Ted Cruz does not appear to be above dirty tricks and hypocrisy himself, you've just ceded any moral or ethical high ground you may have had to the opposition. Indeed, I hold Cruz supporters to a higher standard than I do the followers of other candidates in this race, and if you're to have any real integrity as a Cruzite, you will too.
Moreover, I'm sick to death of seeing people whom I've always considered to be genuine, well-principled conservatives take sides against Donald Trump absolutely every time some left-wing media asshat invents a "scandal" out of thin air. Sure, you have every right to criticize The Donald for the myriad dumbass things he's said over the years, but jumping on the let's-bash-Trump bandwagon every time the opportunity presents itself is just plain pathetic. It's beneath men and women of good faith to act in such a way, and what pisses me off the most about this state of affairs is that I am often forced to defend a man I don't even like very much in the name of fairness and basic decency against others of my own ideological bent.
It angers me, and for that reason I now beseech my fellow Crusites to GROW THE FUCK UP and start behaving like the sort of people you profess to want running our country, instead of the unprincipled swine who've done nothing but steer it straight into the crapper since the day after President Ronald Reagan gave his farewell address from the Oval Office.

Woman Gets In White Student's Face For Having Dreadlocks – Daily Caller
A video allegedly showing a woman at San Francisco State University verbally badgering a student for "cultural appropriation" has gone viral after being posted on YouTube Monday evening.
The woman can be heard telling the student, a white male, he can't wear dreadlocks because "it's [her] culture" and threatens to cut them off with scissors. The woman is identified in the YouTube as a "campus employee."
After the student attempts to extricate himself from the woman's grasp – "you have no right to tell me what I can wear on my head… stop touching me" – she pulls him back and says, "if you put your hands on me, you're gonna learn."
At the end of the video, she asks the cameraman "why are you filming this?" and shoves the lens after he responds, "for everyone's safety."
Obama Has His Say on Communism, Socialism And Capitalism… They're All The Same – Independent Sentinel
Barack Obama told an audience of Argentinian youth that the differences between socialism and capitalism make interesting conversation but just pick whatever works. The ideological-left U.S. president suddenly doesn't have an affinity for ideology.
He said in the past there was a sharp division between communists, socialists and capitalists but that is merely an intellectual argument and it's not so today.
The Marxist in the White House is erasing the lines between two dangerous ideologies and the one that made the U.S. great, just as he erased our borders. This is a man who would be at home in communist China.
"So often in the past there has been a division between left and right, between capitalists and communists or socialists, and especially in the Americas, that's been a big debate," Obama said at the Buenos Aires town hall.
"Those are interesting intellectual arguments, but I think for your generation, you should be practical and just choose from what works. You don't have to worry about whether it really fits into socialist theory or capitalist theory. You should just decide what works."
For Obama, high taxation, wild spending, government agency domination over the people and heavy regulations work which tells you what he is.
Obama made his comments in response to a question about establishing nonprofit community organizations and said it's important to get government and private sector investment, which for him is a sketchy relationship between Wall Street and DC.
"To president Castro, I said you've made great progress in educating young people [Cuban dictators indoctrinate its youth]. Every child in Cuba gets a basic education. Medical care, the life expectancy of Cubans is equivalent to the United States despite it being a very poor country because they have access to health care. That's a huge achievement," he said about the repressive regime. "They should be congratulated. But you drive around Havana and you see the economy is not working. It looks like it did in the 1950s."
The US president likes socialism but also likes the capitalism, both of which he has subscribed to for the last seven years.
Then he told them not to rigidly adhere to labels as if the systems of socialism and capitalism are mere labels.
"You have to be practical in asking yourself, How do you achieve the goals of equality and inclusion, but also recognize the market system produces a lot of wealth and goods and services and innovation and it also gives individuals freedom because they have initiative, depending on the social issues you are trying to address, what works? What you'll find is the most successful societies and economies are the ones that are rooted in a market-based system but also realize a market does not work by itself. It has to have a social and moral and ethical and community basis."
His love of wealth redistribution and social [unfair] justice trumps all.
During his trip, he told the Cuban dictator that his revolution was like ours – it was a liberation movement – and he told Argentinians earlier in the week that he is frustrated with the separation of powers.

FLASHBACK 2012: Socialist Or Fascist – Thomas Sowell
It bothers me a little when conservatives call Barack Obama a "socialist." He certainly is an enemy of the free market, and wants politicians and bureaucrats to make the fundamental decisions about the economy. But that does not mean that he wants government ownership of the means of production, which has long been a standard definition of socialism.
What President Obama has been pushing for, and moving toward, is more insidious: government control of the economy, while leaving ownership in private hands. That way, politicians get to call the shots but, when their bright ideas lead to disaster, they can always blame those who own businesses in the private sector.
Politically, it is heads-I-win when things go right, and tails-you-lose when things go wrong. This is far preferable, from Obama's point of view, since it gives him a variety of scapegoats for all his failed policies, without having to use President Bush as a scapegoat all the time.
Government ownership of the means of production means that politicians also own the consequences of their policies, and have to face responsibility when those consequences are disastrous – something that Barack Obama avoids like the plague.
Thus the Obama administration can arbitrarily force insurance companies to cover the children of their customers until the children are 26 years old. Obviously, this creates favorable publicity for President Obama. But if this and other government edicts cause insurance premiums to rise, then that is something that can be blamed on the "greed" of the insurance companies.
The same principle, or lack of principle, applies to many other privately owned businesses. It is a very successful political ploy that can be adapted to all sorts of situations.
One of the reasons why both pro-Obama and anti-Obama observers may be reluctant to see him as fascist is that both tend to accept the prevailing notion that fascism is on the political right, while it is obvious that Obama is on the political left.
Back in the 1920s, however, when fascism was a new political development, it was widely – and correctly – regarded as being on the political left. Jonah Goldberg's great book "Liberal Fascism" cites overwhelming evidence of the fascists' consistent pursuit of the goals of the left, and of the left's embrace of the fascists as one of their own during the 1920s.
Mussolini, the originator of fascism, was lionized by the left, both in Europe and in America, during the 1920s. Even Hitler, who adopted fascist ideas in the 1920s, was seen by some, including W.E.B. Du Bois, as a man of the left.
It was in the 1930s, when ugly internal and international actions by Hitler and Mussolini repelled the world, that the left distanced themselves from fascism and its Nazi offshoot – and verbally transferred these totalitarian dictatorships to the right, saddling their opponents with these pariahs.
What socialism, fascism and other ideologies of the left have in common is an assumption that some very wise people – like themselves – need to take decisions out of the hands of lesser people, like the rest of us, and impose those decisions by government fiat.
The left's vision is not only a vision of the world, but also a vision of themselves, as superior beings pursuing superior ends. In the United States, however, this vision conflicts with a Constitution that begins, "We the People…"
That is why the left has for more than a century been trying to get the Constitution's limitations on government loosened or evaded by judges' new interpretations, based on notions of "a living Constitution" that will take decisions out of the hands of "We the People," and transfer those decisions to our betters.
The self-flattery of the vision of the left also gives its true believers a huge ego stake in that vision, which means that mere facts are unlikely to make them reconsider, regardless of what evidence piles up against the vision of the left, and regardless of its disastrous consequences.
Only our own awareness of the huge stakes involved can save us from the rampaging presumptions of our betters, whether they are called socialists or fascists. So long as we buy their heady rhetoric, we are selling our birthright of freedom.

Muslim Migrants Attack '60 Minutes Australia' Crew In Sweden – Weasel Zippers
But they're just looking for a safe place to live?
Via The Blaze:
Three weeks after being attacked while filming in a migrant-heavy district of Sweden's capital, "60 Minutes Australia" has finally aired the footage of the attack.
The crew, upon arriving to the Rinkeby district of Stockholm on March 1, was immediately confronted and attacked by migrants. The area is also known as "Little Mogadishu," a reference to the high number Somali migrants who live in the area.
According to footage, the crew's tumultuous day began as a car filled with migrants approached the crew. When the discussion between the crew and the migrants began to get tense, one of the crew's cameramen was deliberately run over as the car sped off.
Hey, he said he could be "presidential" when he wanted to be. Now we know that's true.
Personally, I prefer the non-presidential Trump who shoots from the hip, not this Obamatized version.

Skinny Kid Tormented At School, But Bullies Missed One Big Thing About Him – Mad World News
Never judge a book by its cover. The well-known saying may seem cliché. However, it's relatively powerful when used metaphorically as opposed to just in a literal sense, and the latest viral video is a clear indicator. School bullies thought one kid was a pushover simply because he was skinny and appeared frail, but he was about to show them the one big thing they missed about him.
Maybe no one told them "skinny" could also mean lean and fit, but one bully quickly learned that the boy's stature had no impact on his strength because he missed one major detail about him. Now, that reason has made this video absolutely epic and you'll probably smile when you see what happens.
Footage of yet another schoolyard fight has surfaced online. The video begins with the bully instigating a fight, and it doesn't take long before his wish is granted, but he definitely got more than he expected. Apparently, the skinny kid is actually a boxer. Maybe if the bully had known that, he would have refrained from embarrassing himself. After two swings, the skinny kid lit into him with a series of punches.
The bully spent most of his time shielding himself from the relentless blows the kid delivered. At one point, the bully was able to stop the skinny kid from swinging by attempting to tackle him, but his hold didn't last long. After several seconds, the skinny kid began swinging again. By the end of the video, the bully is seen walking away from the fight he actually started, and it's quite clear who the winner is.
This video is exactly why you should never judge a book by its cover. Strength comes in all shapes, forms, and sizes. It's quite obvious this kid isn't the pushover he was initially pegged to be. It's probably safe to say this bully will no longer pick fights with kids based on their size alone.
Black Cop Exposes Anti-Trump Protesters As "Most Hateful, Evil People Ever" – Zero Hedge
Unfortunately for the establishment, the ongoing acts of sponsoreds civil disobedience are not creating the groundswell of anti-Trump terror they had hoped would bring down the anti-establishmentarian. In fact things have gone so far that even Arizona cops questioned their safety among Soros' puppet-protesters. As African-American police officer Brandon Tatum exclaims, the profane-language-using demonstrators "were the most hateful, evil people he has ever seen."
As EndingTheFed.com reports, Brandon Tatum, an officer in the Tucson Police Department, shared a video Saturday night giving his perspective on Donald Trump's campaign rally in Tucson, Arizona – and the disruptive protesters who hurled obscenities at the Republican candidate.
As he explains, Tatum says that as a black man, he did not feel unsafe around Trump's supporters but was ready to fight protesters in self-defense. He calls them the most hateful, evil people he has ever seen. The demonstrators, who he recalls chanting the phrase "Black lives matter," used profane language and gestures, leading a mother to cover her child's ears.
One protester, he recounts, got beat up, but Tatum says that the man instigated a fight either by spitting on or assaulting a rally attendee. He hopes that his message makes it into the news so that typical CNN coverage of just the retaliation against the agitator doesn't become the prevailing narrative about the rally.
As for Trump himself, Tatum says he went to the rally to decide for himself what he thought of the candidate rather than trusting someone else's word. He states that he gained respect for the businessman and didn't hear anything bigoted from his stump speech. "His character's a lot different than what you would perceive it to be in the media," he says.
* * *
Once more the tried and tested efforts of the 'management' to disrupt the democratic process in favor of their wealth-maintaining status quo is suffering unintended consequences are everywhere amid the blowback from these organized protests.

Helpful Forecasting Resources
This is the last post of the series on forecasting. Up to now, subjects such as varying factors, methods and evaluation criteria have been studied. This post lists key references in the field of time series prediction, particularly using Support Vector Regression (SVR). Note that some of these resources are not free:
- Time Series and Forecasting (chapter 22): different forecasting models are described in detail in this book chapter. Evaluation criteria are also presented. Although several equations are given, business problems such as planning are mentioned.
- Support Vector Regression for link load prediction: SVR are detailed as well as specific studies on sensitivity to input data, SVR parameters and training size. Other topics such as complexity and forecast horizon are analyzed.
- Forecasting with computational intelligence – an evaluation of Support Vector Regression and Artificial Neural Networks for time series predictions: a technical paper detailing what are times series and how SVR and NN (Neural Networks) can be used for forecasting. Use of training, validation and test set is advised.
- Error measures for generalizing about forecasting methods – empirical comparisons: analysis of the different evaluation criteria. Clearly separate two common goals that are to i) select the best forecasting model and to ii) calibrate a given forecasting model.
- Support Vector Machines and learning about time: good introductory article with several time series principles explained. Different ways to approach forecasting are presented.
- Forecasting – principles and practice: this online textbook is my favorite resource to learn forecasting. Focus is made on concepts, key ideas and business challenges regarding time series prediction. If you should read only one resource about principles of forecasting, it should be this one.
- Another look at forecast – accuracy metrics for intermittent demand: concise article full of advices to choose the right evaluation criteria for forecasting. If you want to read only one reference about evaluation criteria, I strongly advise this one.

Peter Jackson Announces Halo Movie Has Stopped
Peter Jackson's WingNut Films has announced that they've had to stop production and development on the new Halo movie.
On his official website, Peter has released the following statement:
As was previously confirmed, we deeply regret that both Universal and Fox did not choose to move forward with financing the Halo film under the original terms of the agreement. At this time Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh, along with their partner, Microsoft, have mutually agreed to postpone making a feature film based on the Halo video game universe until we can fulfill the promise we made to millions of Halo fans throughout the world that we would settle for no less than bringing a first class film to the big screen. We are fully supportive of Director Neill Blomkamp's vision of the film. Neill is a tremendously gifted filmmaker and his preliminary work on Halo is truly awe-inspiring. While it will undoubtedly take a little longer for Halo to reach the big screen, we are confident that the final feature film will be well worth the wait.
No word on a time table for Halo to continue.

Play depicting Jesus as gay packs church
SANTA ANA - A play depicting Jesus as a gay man played to an appreciative audience in a packed church sanctuary tonight while a handful of protesters outside called it blasphemous.
<-- Click on the photo at left or the photo tab above to view more pictures.
It was the second showing of "Corpus Christi" in Orange County in about two years. The show sparked protests and bomb threats at its 1998 opening at the Manhattan Theatre Club in New York.
The play depicts Jesus as a gay man living in 1950s Corpus Christi, Texas, playwright Terrence McNally's hometown. The cast of 13 portray Jesus and the 12 Apostles.
The Church of the Foothills in Santa Ana received hate calls and letters in the past few days since media publicity of the performance.
Pastor Michael Holland said about 20 e-mails, about the same number of telephone calls, including one Saturday from a man claiming to be a priest from Ireland, and four or five letters denounced the performance.
There was also an e-mail from a local couple with a gay son who thanked the church for hosting the show.
"That's why we're doing this," Holland said, "for all those families out there who don't feel accepted. The Bible does not condemn homosexuality as an orientation, it condemns certain homoerotic acts which had nothing to do with people being in love, like we're doing today."
During the last scene of the play, the actors light a final candle together and exit the stage, leaving the audience with the image of a single flame.
Outside the church, before the play was to start shortly after 7 p.m., Todd Jernigan, a construction worker from Tustin, joined about three other protesters, calling what was taking place inside an "abomination."
Depicting Jesus as gay, he said, "is the biggest disgrace there is."
Don Stewart of Riverside got on a bullhorn and shouted at those going into the performance: "Why did God destroy Sodom and Gomorrah? Can anyone in that church come out and explain it to me in God's words?"
Stewart, an electrical contractor who described himself as belonging to a community of street preachers, accused the church's pastor of teaching a faulty doctrine "that's going to lead them to hell."
Pastor Holland said the protesters were misinformed.
"Jesus was about love and inclusion and affirming people as children of God, and that's what we're doing tonight," he said, adding that the publicity preceding the performance had been a mixed blessing.
Two years ago, a production of the play at Chapman University did not happen because of a scheduling conflict. The play instead took place at the First Christian Church of Orange Disciples of Christ, Holland said.
There was no publicity surrounding the play then, so it did not generate any controversy, he said. Tonight, 250 packed the Church of the Foothill's sanctuary for the show.
Among them was Claire Richardson, a graduate of the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, who said she wants to be an ordained minister in Disciples of Christ faith community.
"I support art and I support interpreting the Bible for oneself," said Richardson, who attended with her parents from Orange.
The Church of the Foothills in the past has hosted same-sex marriage rallies and held the first same-sex wedding in the Tustin area in June.
The one-night showing of "Corpus Christi" was performed by Los Angeles-based 108 Productions. Proceeds benefit the church and a documentary on "Corpus Christi" by 108 Productions.
The group plans to take the show to Corpus Christi, Texas, next year.

This week Dave Cover preaches from John 13:1–17 in a sermon entitled, "Washing Feet (Part Two)." The Scripture reads,
6 Implications From Jesus Washing Feet (and a story!)
John 13:14: Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another's feet.
When Jesus took the role of a servant, washed his disciples' feet, and then told them (and us) to wash other people's feet, he called us to a humble life of sacrificial service. Here are 6 practical implications and/or applications followed by a story of one person obeys Jesus.
What do you do when you stick your foot in your mouth?
Recently I was chatting with a friend. This friend has two children by adoption, which she's very open about. We were talking about parenting decisions, and I referred to another friend, saying, "She's great. She has six kids. Four of her own and two adopted."
As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I was reeling inside. "What did I just say?" I asked myself. "I just insinuated that to be a real mother is to have carried a kid in utero for nine months." I don't think this, but I DID just say it. Now what?

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Brodeur Baffled
by Paul on 07/24/05 at 09:26 AM ET
Comments (0)
Martin Brodeur finds it "ridiculous." The National Hockey League's best stick-handling goaltender said yesterday he cannot understand why the league's powers-that-be would strip him of that skill by limiting the areas in which he can play the puck. "I don't want to complain but I really don't understand the logic of taking away a talent that only a handful of goalies around the league really have," Brodeur said during a phone interview yesterday. "All the general managers who didn't have good puck-handling goalies voted this rule in, I'm sure. "I think it's ridiculous. It takes away from the few goalies who do it." Under terms of the rules ratified by the league's board of governors on Friday, goaltenders may play the puck behind the goal line only in a trapezoid-shaped area defined by lines that begin six feet from either goal post and extend diagonally to points 28 feet apart at the end boards.

NEWPORT NEWS, VA—Mumford Company represented First Florence Corporation in the sale of the Best Western, located in Savannah, GA, to Double S Hotel Ventures Savannah, LLC.
The purchasers intend to complete renovations and will continue to operate the hotel as a Best Western.
Ed James, principal at Mumford Company's office here, with Steve Kirby, principal at the firm's Atlanta office, and Justin Pinkard, VP at the firm's Washington, DC office, represented the seller.
"This transaction continues the disposition plan for non-core hospitality assets for the seller," stated James. "The purchaser was able to complete its first hotel acquisition in the highly desirable Savannah, Georgia, market at a price well below replacement cost with plenty of upside potential through renovations and management enhancements."
The two-story, 120-key hotel, built in 1971, offers continental breakfast, meeting space, a business center and recreational courtyard with pool.

Then we stayed naked and became chocolate brown, porcelain pale, and every shade inbetween. 18 Start A Health24 blog » Follow Health24 on Facebook » Test Are you envirohealth savvy? » Ask EnviroHealth Expert » Blood Lions: Bred for the Bullet movie trailer The amazing mountains on Pluto Once, long ago, we were white and covered in hair. Then we were black and naked. Then we stayed naked and became chocolate brown, porcelain pale, and every shade inbetween. Why are humans so many different hues? This question has long fascinated Professor Nina Jablonski, world-renowned biological anthropologist from Pennsylvania State Universtity, USA. She related the story of how we got our skin colour, as it is currently best understood by evolutionary scientists, to a rapt audience at the University of Cape Town on Wednesday. The naked, many-coloured ape If you look under the fur of our closest living relative, the chimpanzee, you'll find pale skin. And it's likely that the common ancestor chimps and humans shared, before the two species diverged and went their separate evolutionary ways, was also light-skinned and dark-furred. Our early, forest-dwelling ancestors may have had pale skin covered by fur, like our modern-day chimpanzee relatives. But around 2 million to 1.5 million years ago, the early hominids who would eventually become Homo sapiens left the forests for the sun-baked savannah, and started striding around on two legs and developing big, temperature-sensitive brains – two physical changes that put us at risk of over-heating. We cooled down by progressively losing our fur and gaining the ability to sweat profusely. As we became naked apes, however, so our skins became exposed to the sun's rays. By around 1.2 million years ago, our ancestors in Africa (from which all members of the current human family most probably come), had acquired permanently dark skins to protect against the damaging effects of ultra-violet radiation in sunlight. It's well known that high levels of sun exposure can damage the skin's DNA and lead to skin cancer, and for some time, scientists thought this was the evolutionary driver for dark skin, i.e. that those of our ancestors with paler skin would have been more likely to die of melanoma and consequently produce fewer paler-skinned babies. But skin cancer takes a long time to develop, and usually only kills people once they are past reproductive age and have already produced offspring to carry on their genes. It wasn't because of skin cancer that we evolved dark skin; it was because of folate. Folate: essential, and sun-sensitive Folate is an essential vitamin used to build DNA, and a deficiency in pregnant women can cause babies to be born with severe birth defects, especially of the nervous system. Folate happens to be very sensitive to UV radiation, and when it's carried in the bloodstream in capillaries near the skin's surface, sunlight can destroy it. So we evolved a natural sunscreen: melanin. This pigment, which gives skin its colour, absorbs and blocks UV radiation. The more melanin you have, the darker your skin tone, and the better you can block UV and keep your folate intact for your baby developing in utero. Our ancestors with darker skins thus produced healthier, darker-skinned babies who were more likley to survive and produce darker-skinned babies in their turn. For the next million years or so, everyone stayed dark brown. The great trek from the tropics Then, roughly 100 000 years ago, some of our ancestors decided to leave home in Africa and move North, and from there progressively spread all over the globe. Some of our ancestors moved from Africa north to less sunny parts. Some then moved south again to areas like India, Australia and South America. (1-Homo sapiens. 2-Neanderthals. 3-Early hominids.) The descendants of those who stayed in the intense African sun kept their protective darker skins. But those who moved North of course met with less and less sunlight the further they moved from the equator. Here there was progressivley less risk of folate being destroyed by sunlight, but a new problem arose: not enough vitamin D. The "sunshine vitamin" Vitamin D, essential for the normal formation of bone and a healthy immune system, among other benefits, can be manufactured by our bodies in the presence of sufficient sunlight – specifically, UVB radiation. As our ancestors moved to less sunny climes, those with darker skins were at a disadvantage because their high amounts of melanin meant they could not absorb enough UVB to produce Vitamin D. Without sufficient of the "sunshine vitamin", the female pelvic bones form abnormally, often not allowing for successful birth. Immune systems weakened from lack of Vitamin D also meant more, and earlier, deaths from disease. Thus paler skin became a selective advantage for those further from the sun. Those really far from the sun – at latititudes further than around 52 degrees North and South – became palest, but still needed to get enough Vitamin D from diet, in the form of oily fish or dairy products. This de-pigmentation of skin is thought to have occurred several times in our evolution. As has re-pigmentation: when early humans who'd moved north and lost melanin moved again back down to sunnier lattitudes they developed darker, UV-protective skins once more. This same mechanism has happened in many different parts of the world. Modern health implications Even as recently as a few hundred years ago, most people didn't venture far from their place of birth. But as transportation became more efficient and rapid, more people moved (or were moved, by the slave trade) far from their ancestral homelands. These days, we can whizz to wildly different latitudes just for a vacation. There are some serious implications for skin tones evolved over millenia. Pale skin at low latititudes is at serious risk of skin cancer, and requires conscientious protection from the sun, especially in summer. At high latititudes, there's a risk of Vitamin D deficiency for those with darker skins – but even for those with lighter skins if they spend much of their time indoors, as is the norm now in big cities. Covering the skin with clothing for warmth also lowers exposure to the little sunshine there is in cold climates. But covering the skin for cultural reasons also has health implications: for example, Islamic women who wear burqas have a higher rate of osteoporosis and other health issues related to vitamin D deficiency.

The Best Workouts To Suit Your Job
February 9, 2011
In order to best alleviate work stress, exercise in a mode opposite to your occupation. Here are some different job types, along with the style of workout that will best help you relax:
If You Are: A Manager
This category includes executives, bosses, foremen—anyone who's got bottom-line responsibility. What you need is a change of scenery, at least 40 minutes of outdoor exercise. What you don't need are stationary bikes, treadmills, or anything that involves sitting still. A distraction-free environment will only let your mind wander back to your problems.
If You Are: A Sales Person
These are guys who spend most of their time running around—whether it's as an executive assistant, an electrician, a cop, or a salesman. Stationary exercise machines let you stay put for a change. And they offer another advantage: They're solitary. Chances are, if you're running around a lot, you're running into people. You need a break from that.
If You Are: An Accountant
CPAs, stock analysts, researchers, and anybody else who deals with stats should forget about exercise logs, hard-and-fast workout rules, and whether they did 29 crunches or 30. Show up at the gym and do a variety of things on impulse.
If You Are: A Designer
Are you a creative-type? This group includes advertising executives, designers, promotion directors, and writers. Plan concrete, but achievable goals. Weight programs or aerobic activities such as bicycling or running, where you can compete with yourself and others and clearly chart how much faster and stronger you're getting, can give you the sense of day-to-day achievement that might be lacking at work.
If You Are: An Assembly Liner
If you're engaged in any occupation where the routine is the same every day, be eclectic in your workouts. Try adding racquetball on Monday, swimming on Wednesday, and maybe yoga on Friday.
Latest Fitness Stories
Exercising isn't just for looking good. Follow this training regime and you'll also strengthen your organs and boost your immunity.
Fire up your metabolism and get rid of belly fat in double-quick time.

Intel, IBM report weaker demand as smartphones pass the 1-billion mark
Intel Corp. speeds transition away from desktop PCs as global smartphone total passes 1-billion
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Surging tablet and smartphone sales are pressuring Intel Corp., the world's largest computer-chip maker, to speed up its transition from the desktop PC to the mobile market.
Intel late Tuesday joined Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. in forecasting weaker demand for PCs and desktop processors in a soft global economy and amid the popularity of tablets, particularly Apple Inc.'s iPad.
IBM Corp., the world's biggest computer-services provider, on Wednesday reported slumping demand in domestic markets as well.
Analysts say Intel is suffering as consumers shun the PC for handsets employing energy-efficient chip sets that are less powerful and costly than Intel's traditional PC processors.
Intel is developing offerings for mobile devices but is doing so in a crowded market and against a backdrop of declining corporate spending on computer technology.
Santa Clara, Ca.-based Intel said revenue from PC chips in its third quarter fell 8 per cent from a year ago, tracking a global decline in PC sales over the period. It sees "weaker than expected demand in a challenging macroeconomic environment" as corporate customers show caution in placing orders — and said consumers in developed markets are curtailing PC purchases.
Intel forecast a gloomy outlook for the fourth quarter after posting September period revenue just above the company's twice lowered guidance. Intel said its third-quarter net income was $2.97 billion (U.S.), or 58 cents per share, down from $3.47 billion, or 65 cents per share, a year ago.
Revenue fell 5.5 per cent to $13.5 billion versus the Bloomberg survey of analysts calling for $13.22 billion in sales.
Intel said it expects about $13.6 billion in fourth-quarter revenue, below the analyst forecast of $13.7 billion, and expects a gross margin of 57 per cent, pointing to lower profit in the fourth quarter. Intel blamed unusually large inventories, lower factory use and the idling of some facilities as it shifts to mobile processor technology.
Shares in Intel slumped by nearly 3 per cent Wednesday to close at $21.79 on the Nasdaq.
Intel also said the sales bump during the holiday shopping season is likely to be cut in half this year — even though Microsoft is launching its Windows 8 operating system, which is designed for desktop PCs as well as tablets that will use Intel chips. Intel CEO Paul Otellini said manufacturers are cautious about how consumers will respond to the new platform.
Shares in IBM Corp. also weighed on markets Wednesday after the company reported a 5.4 per cent revenue drop below the median analyst estimate. IBM said customers put off software purchases and computer-maintenance contracts as demand slumped in domestic markets.
As the PC industry suffers an extended slump, a study by U.S. researchers Strategy Analytics said 1.038 billion smartphones were in use around the world in the third quarter, compared to an estimated 708 million a year earlier.
The survey credited Apple with driving industry growth.
"It has taken 16 years for the smartphone industry to reach this historic milestone," said Neil Mawston, Strategy Analytics executive director. "But we forecast the next billion to be achieved in less than three years, by 2015."
Strategy Analytics said consumers in the developing world are upgrading feature cellphones to low-end smartphones at an accelerating clip, adding that smartphone "penetration is still relatively low."
"Most of the world does not yet own a smartphone and there remains huge scope for future growth, particularly in emerging markets such as China, India and Africa," Mawston said.
