Battlefield America takes a steady look at the underbelly of the youth battle dance culture in Long Beach, California. Sean Lewis, a young, charismatic, successful businessman finds himself in the mix with a bunch of disheveled misfits Bad Boys, who have virtually no dance talent. Realizing his dilemma, Sean brings aboard a professional dance instructor to ease his responsibilities to these kids. Meanwhile, he finds himself falling for Sara, who runs the community center where the kids hangout and practice their moves. With Sean motivating them, The Bad Boys find the confidence to be contenders...(Brian & Barrett Pictures)… Expand

Although it's grotesque to see pre-teens stomping in underground warehouse-battle settings, at least Battlefield America's racial politics are interesting.
The editing in Battlefield America is super-speedy: Each shot lasts about three seconds, and then it's off.
If you're looking for a tough, streetwise film about urban kids who get together to enter a national hip-hop dance competition, Battlefield America is not your movie.
Houston does his best with an unlikable character, and the young actors are appealing enough to keep us watching. The movie itself, however, is a mess.
There's likely an audience for the cloying and dizzying hip-hop dance flick Battlefield America, but even the most forgiving viewers may feel like they've been underestimated - and underserved.
A picture so thoroughly generic as to suggest a contraption assembled from spare parts with the aid of a how-to manual.
The set-up, and indeed the entire film, reeks of yawn-inducing boilerplate plotting.

But, theMovies such as Battlefield America, are all about the dance. Understand that before you view the movie. The acting is going to suck. But, the dance sequences should be ferry good. I didn't think seeing little kids in fatigues was grotesque, as s a movie critic stated. It is a costume for the performance. It is all about the dancing. I thought the camera shots were very fast, and could have been done much better. Remember, it's about the dance.… Collapse

Yung Shue Wan information
Yung Shue Wan (Banyan Tree Bay) may be the largest settlement on the island but it remains a small village with little more than a car-free main street following the curve of the bay. Despite encroaching development, the village has somehow managed to retain more than a whiff of rustic charm. The main street is lined with cafes, bars, veggie stalls and new-age shops, all popular with locals and tourists alike.
At the southern end of the bay, look for a small Tin Hau Temple dating from the late 19th century, with a pair of eccentric Western lion statues guarding the entrance.

Kierkegaard's Arguement for believing in God even through one cannot use Reason to prove God's existence (see my post on Reason alone not being able to prove or disprove God)
link to philosophy.lander.edu
"An [unknown thing] is an existent thing.
God is an [unknown thing].
God is an existent thing.
The syllogism is of the valid form:
All B's and C's.
All A's are B's.
All A's are C's
In an argument, one gives reasons, grounds, and evidence for the acceptance of a conclusion. Existence must be assumed in the premisses; it cannot be proved. Occasionally, this point is expressed as "Existence is not a predicate."
Consider the following inferences from the Square of Opposition:
All philosophy students are awake ----------> At least one philosophy student is awake.
All unicorns have horns ---------> At least one unicorn has a horn.
If the subject of the conclusion exists and the conclusion is true, then we must have assumed the existence of that subject in the premisses of the argument.
For example, one does not prove Napoleon's existence from his deeds.
An unknown invaded Russia, lost the Waterloo campaign, was exiled to Elba, and so on.
Napoleon is the unknown.
If we tried to prove the existence of God by a posteriori means, then we could never finish listing the events in the natural order. Thus, the proof would be incomplete--we would be anxiously awaiting future events.
Again, existence explains the deeds, but the deeds do not prove existence.
Thus, Kierkegaard says we would be living in suspense until the proof is complete. The proof would hang on future occurrences."

CCK denies approving price fixing
GOVERNMENT| April 25, 2012, 4:05 p.m.
Kenya's regulator has set the record straight on reports that it gave tacit approval to mobile price fixing.
In a statement issued by Francis W. Wangusi, Ag. Director-General of the Communications Commission of Kenya (CCK), the organisation said no official authorisation had been sought or granted for mobile operators to fix prices for cross-network calls.
The CCK said: "While the CCK recently held discussions with some licensees regarding the wholesale interconnection rate and the attendant glide path, no request has been officially made regarding the intention to fix the retail mobile voice tariff either by those players on any other licensee. As such, no such approval has been granted."
"Retail price fixing as practiced in collusive oligopoly markets is an anti-competitive business practice that is contrary to the prevailing competition law and policy. Retail price fixing in the mobile voice market in Kenya would, therefore, be in breach of the law; and as such no approval can be granted."
The statement said CCK considered the retail mobile voice market as sufficiently competitive, thus making it unnecessary to impose any stringent retail price regulatory obligations on the licensed mobile operators. However, even for such competitive market segments where the Commission does not impose retail price setting obligations, the law (i.e. clause 4(3) of the Kenya Information and Communications (Tariff) Regulations, 2010,) prohibits licensees from applying tariffs that distort competition, exploit consumers and, possibly even prevent market entry.
"Therefore, all mobile operators set their retail prices independently guided primarily by their costs of providing a particular service and are only obligated to file with the Commission their retail rates as provided for in their respective licences."
The statement concluded that the Commission is currently carrying out a study to evaluate the impact of competition on the mobile voice market on the entire economy. "We would like to clarify that the study, which is being undertaken by the Kenya Institute of Public Policy Research and Analysis (KIPPRA), is in not in any way meant to determine interconnection rates for the mobile telecoms market."

Anyways I love that somehow you manage to put the little things that make twilight twilight, like Charlie and his overprotectiviness (thats how you write it right?), and his crappy favorite restaurant, and you killed Mike (is it wrong that I find it funny?) and besides I also hate when people dont wear seatbelts it creeps me out.. and in my country seatbelts are NOT that popular (hence all the deads?) specially not in the back seat.
And finally... I love your story please keep going :)

Carolyn Kaster, Associated Press
WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama urged lawmakers Monday to "harness some of that unity" washing over the nation after Osama bin Laden's death and carry it into the contentious debates awaiting them over federal spending, the debt and other issues.
At a White House dinner for members of Congress, Obama acknowledged past disagreements and predicted future ones. But he said bin Laden's demise was a reminder that what the country can achieve transcends party labels.
"Last night, as Americans learned that the United States had carried out an operation that resulted in the capture and death of Osama bin Laden, I think we experienced the same sense of unity that prevailed on 9/11," he said, urging that that spirit continue.
Upon hearing bin Laden's name, lawmakers of both parties interrupted the president with a standing ovation and whistles. Among the Republicans who rose to their feet were House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio and House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan of Wisconsin. Obama has been sharply critical of Ryan's 2012 budget plan.
"We were reminded again that there is a pride in what this nation stands for and what we can achieve that runs far deeper than party, far deeper than politics," Obama said.
Obama said he knows the unity that permeated the country after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks orchestrated by bin Laden has "frayed a little bit over the years" and said he has "no illusions" about the difficulties of the debates awaiting them. He noted other moments this year that brought the country together, including the January assassination attempt on Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz.
He added bin Laden's death to that list.
"So tonight, it is my fervent hope that we can harness some of that unity and some of that pride to confront the many challenges that we still face," he said.
The dinner, for the bipartisan congressional leadership and key committee leaders, was hosted by Obama and his wife, Michelle. It included Vice President Joe Biden and his wife, Jill, as well as Cabinet members and senior White House aides.

As many of you know, we're leveraging a matching opportunity with additional fundraising for the endowed faculty position for Baker County.

In the meantime, Jayne will assume an interim leadership position for the Baker County 4-H program, as a professional development opportunity. Jayne has been with the OSU Extension service for the past 14 years, serving as 4-H Educational Program Assistant for 3 years, Office coordinator for 9 years, and now 2 years as the Office Manager. 4-H has been a part of Jayne's life in some form or another as long as she can remember, from an involved 4-H kid through her 14 years of involvement with the 4-H program while working for Extension in Baker and Union counties, which has helped fuel her passion for OSU's great leadership in this program. Welcome Jayne to the 4-H family!

This Canon G1 X is really something
Feb 16, 2012
Looking at the RAW comparison vs. Nikon D300S, and it pretty much matches it in terms of noise. I'd even say it performs better!
Good going. To pack all that IQ in a camera so small with an optical viewfinder to boot. It certainly doesn't beat an SLR in terms of FPS, interchangeable lenses, and about a hundred other things, but for general travel photography, this little guy is a gem!

Operation Grange/PJ Investigation
Op.Grange began in Spring 2011 just before the launch of Kate McCann's book 'madeleine' An enormous amount of public money has gone into the investigation, yet 4 years later we are still no further forward in knowing what happened to her that fateful night. Portuguese police after much pressure, reopened the case in Oct.2013. In Oct. 2015 Op.Grange was cut from 29 to just 4 detectives on the case, and another £2 million pounds allocated for another 6 months, totalling around £12 million.

McCann v Amaral Damages/ Libel Trial
A libel/damages trial which began in late 2009 finally concluded in April 2015 with a verdict that shocked many. A Portuguese court awarded the McCann's damages of £357,000 plus interest in excess of £70,000. Goncalo Amaral is appealing the decision, which may take years. Meanwhile a fund has been set up to help with the costs of his defence. UPDATE 19.4.16: Goncalo Amaral finally WINS, with a unanimous decision by 3 High Court Judges. McCanns now have to pay costs, and the book will be back on sale. Mr Amaral is now suing Kate and Gerry McCann for years of financial losses and his good name being called into question. The verdict is being appealed and taken to the Supreme Court by the McCanns.

Advanced Search
Seeking to give libraries and their patrons the ultimate launching pad for online research, EBSCO has announced its plan to create the Discovery Service, a library search engine.
In conjunction with its own databases, electronic journals from more than 400 publishers, and several other leading data publishing partners, Discovery will pre-index the metadata on books, news resources, video, music, periodicals, and even historical archives. Metadata will include information resources, such as titles, authors, copyrights, content overviews, and other information usually found in a library catalog. But whereas one library system's catalog will provide metadata about that system's holdings, Discovery can offer metadata about resources throughout the publishing and multimedia worlds.
Using EBSCO's technology and network of partners, Discovery will allow users to search its pre-indexed database and will offer immediate access to content to which it has rights. The company expects the service to be available later in 2009.

Remy Bonjasky's New Career: Stars Dancing on Ice Featured
- Written by Dave Walsh
- font size decrease font size increase font size
Well, new career might be a stretch, but much like when former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Chuck Liddell was on "Dancing with the Stars" in America, Remy Bonjasky, the Flying Gentleman will participate in "Stars Dancing on Ice" in the Netherlands, on SBS6. It is a bit lower impact than what Bonjasky is used to, but one can be assured that Bonjasky keeping himself as such a public figure is a good thing. If you heard the rumors a few weeks ago about something involving Remy and Ice Skating, yeah, this is it.
Bonjasky makes his glorious, ice skating debut on January 28th and I assure you, as long as there is footage available on the internet, LiverKick.com will hunt it down like a rabid dog so we can all bask in the glory that is a 3-time K-1 World Grand Prix Champion in tights figure skating on Dutch national television. If you still aren't buying it, well, there is video footage. Don't expect any flying kicks any time soon.

The Review Beta suggested edits stats page currently says:
- 0 need review
- 2,395 reviews today

I agree with the first one. I can get along with the second one, I guess, but I can't reconcile with the third one. Have almost 10% of all suggested edits ever been reviewed today?
My personal stats are wrong as well. It shows:
Today: 7 All-time: 22
If I go to my review activity tab in my SO profile, I see well over 400 suggested edits reviewed (as you can see on one here). Again, the statistics for today are right (I think), but the all-time stuff is a way off. What gives?

Tor: Statement
Seven weeks ago, I published a blog post saying that Jacob Appelbaum had left the Tor Project, and I invited people to contact me as the Tor Project began an investigation into allegations regarding his behavior. Since then, a number of people have come forward with first-person accounts and other information. The Tor Project hired a professional investigator, and she interviewed many individuals to determine the facts concerning the allegations. The investigator worked closely with me and our attorneys, helping us to understand the overall factual picture as it emerged.

Your truck has a 5.2L or 5.9L engine if it is a V8. My information says a 5.2 uses a cam angle sensor located in a distributor housing. The 5.9 uses a cam sensor, I don't see a location listed but the wires at the sensor are violet / white (5volt), tan / yellow, black / light blue. Look at www.rockauto.com. see what they list as parts.

Police in Kaepernick case: Too early to tell 'what evidence indicates'
A day after police said there was 'no evidence of a crime or sexual assault' in the Colin Kaepernick case, they said that 'it's too early to determine what the evidence indicates.'
More NFL offseason: Mock Drafts | Prospect Rankings | Pro days | Top free agents
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick took to Twitter on Friday to deny a TMZ report that he was being investigated for an alleged sexual assault.
That same day, Miami Police Chief Manuel Orosa said, via the Miami Herald, that "it's too early to determine what the evidence indicates," adding: "We have to examine evidence and wait for some tests to come back, including toxicology reports. We can present it to the state attorney and they can decide whether to continue."
On Thursday, a Miami police spokesperson told MercuryNews.com that "There's no evidence of a crime or a sexual assault. This report is simply an incident report taken at the woman's request. ... there are no specific allegations of wrongdoing."
A woman who said she had a sexual history with Kaepernick told police that on April 1 she passed out at the apartment of Seahawks wide receiver Ricardo Lockette, who was there along with Kaepernick and wide receiver Quinton Patton. She woke up in the hospital the next day but didn't know how she got there.
According to the Herald, someone in the apartment called police, and when they arrived, they were concerned about her frame of mind and called Fire Rescue, which transported her to the hospital.
(You can read the details of the police report here.)
The Herald reports that the woman underwent a rape test, though the results haven't been made public.
Kaepernick tweeted Friday that, "The charges made in the TMZ story and other stories I've seen are completely wrong. They make things up about me that never happened. I take great pride in who I am and what I do, but I guess sometimes you have to deal with someone who makes things up. I want to thank all of the people who have shared their encouraging sentiments. I assure you that your faith is not misplaced."
A short time later, Kaepernick's agent released this statement: "We stand by Colin 100 percent and are fully confident that the truth will be evident once the facts come to light."
Lockette's spokesperson had no comment for the Herald, and Patton's agent did not return calls.

Winter has rolled into its third month and skiers are going stir crazy as driving rain continues over the Southern Alps.
The Craigieburn Valley Ski Area about 100km west of Christchurch is one of several areas that haven't opened for a single day this season. Some fear there may not be enough snow to open at all this year — something manager Nick Jarman says has never happened during his 30 years carving turns on the mountain's slopes.
Ski operators throughout the country are feeling the effects of the warmest start to the Southern Hemisphere winter since record-keeping began in 1909. And while one bad season doesn't prove a trend, it comes at a time when scientists say the country's snow pack and glaciers are melting at an alarming rate due to climate change.
The largest ski areas have managed to open only because they've invested in equipment to make their own snow, which they've been doing this year in unprecedented quantities. For now, at least, that's helped protect the nation's reputation as a winter playland, one that each year attracts more than 60,000 skiers and snowboarders from Australia alone from June to August.
At Queenstown's Coronet Peak, 200 snow guns have been blazing day and night whenever the temperature dips a little below freezing. Those guns have turned enough water to fill 100 Olympic-size swimming pools into a white blanket that's remained on the main trails even on days when some skiers have taken to wearing T-shirts.
Like Craigieburn, many small ski areas that rely entirely on natural snow are facing steep financial losses this year. Typically, the areas are run as nonprofits. They are kept open not only by tourist dollars but also from the work of enthusiastic volunteers. Operators of these areas say they can't afford to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in snow-making equipment.
Jarman says Craigieburn employs about 10 staff but can only pay them once the area opens. He says it's not just the ski areas that are suffering, but also the local ski rental stores, the gas stations, even the bakeries. He says he's been refunding money to tourists who have booked ski and accommodation packages, and the season is putting a strain on Craigieburn's finances.
''It's going to be hard, really hard. We don't have the extra money to spend on maintenance,'' he says. ''We're not living on caviar and salmon.''
It's a similar story at nearby Mount Cheeseman Ski Area, which employs about 20 staff when there is snow, but which also hasn't been able to open. Mountain manager Cam Lill says some of his staff, who come from abroad, are taking the opportunity to tour the country while others are earning money doing odd jobs.
''They're sitting around, waiting in anticipation,'' he says. ''It's a very messy time. You can't give them any degree of certainty.'' A paper published in July in the journal Global and Planetary Change concludes that two of the largest glaciers, the Franz Josef and the Fox, have each melted by 3 kilometres in length since the 1800s, making them about 20 per cent shorter.
The authors say the length of both glaciers has fluctuated over the years, but that ''the overall reduction in length is a clear sign of twentieth century warming''. They say both glaciers this year are melting at a faster rate than ever previously recorded. A 2012 study in the same journal used aerial images to estimate the total volume of ice in the Southern Alps declined by 15 per cent from 1976 to 2008. One of the authors, glaciologist Trevor Chinn, wrote in a recent article, which wasn't peer reviewed, that as much as one third of the ice in the mountains has melted since 1977.
''It's quite alarming the amount we are losing,'' Chinn said in an interview. ''And certainly the scenery is changing.''
Ski area operators, however, point to the big variations in temperature and snowfall that can occur from season to season. While June of this year brought record high temperatures, the same month last year brought a healthy dump of snow that set up most operators for a good season.
Paul Anderson, the chief executive of NZSki, which operates three of the largest areas — Coronet Peak, The Remarkables, and Mount Hutt — says he expects the three areas combined this season will attract a similar number of skiers to the 480,000 that visited last year.
''From the work that I've seen, we are in a sustainable business,'' he says, adding that's whether the snowfall comes naturally or is supplemented by machines.
However Heather Purdie, a University of Canterbury glaciologist and lead author on the glacier study, says that while ski areas will continue to have good seasons and bad ones, they are likely to find it a tougher business as the climate warms. She says it will become increasingly difficult for them to make even man-made snow as the number of hours and days below freezing reduces.
And even though many skiers and snowboarders have been kept satisfied by the man-made snow on larger areas like Mount Hutt this year, there has been scant coverage away from the main trails.
That forced Michael Bushell this month to cancel a ski racing event he'd planned, even before wild winds closed the mountain.
Bushell said there simply wasn't the required 30 centimetres of snow off-trail to anchor the ski gates, and racers couldn't use the main runs without getting in the way of recreational skiers.
