A paradise hideaway
Right into the 1990s, Ilha Grande was still a penal colony for dangerous criminals. These days tourists have nothing to fear on the island – unless they are afraid of the finest white sand, turquoise seas and breathtaking landscapes
Paradise is only a short boat ride away. Ferries and speedboats from the mainland tie up in the small harbor town of Vila do Abraao. In the bay, sheltered by two tiny islands, fishing boats, tourist schooners and smaller yachts lie at anchor. Behind the red-roofed houses, mountains rise up like the tiers in an amphitheater. Vila do Abraao is the largest town on Ilha Grande. It has the most guesthouses, and there are always plenty of parties on the weekend. But that's not why people visit the island. They come to see its natural beauty, the pristine vegetation, the white powder-sugar beaches and the turquoise waters of the ocean. With a coastline extending over 155 kilometers and a total of 116 beaches, large and small, Ilha Grande is one of the most beautiful islands off the coast of Brazil. Dozens of bays cut deep into the hinterland, and just beyond the beaches, mountain peaks reach for the sky; at 1035 meters, Pico da Pedra D'Agua is the tallest. The slopes are covered by the tropical Mata Atlantica rainforest, one of the most species-rich ecosystems on the planet. Narrow trails invite visitors to discover this "Atlantic rainforest" for themselves.
The island is a protected area, so no cars disturb this peaceful realm, where people get about on foot, ride mountain bikes or take a water taxi. First inhabited by Indians, the island later became a hide-out for pirates, who would lie in wait there for Portuguese ships laden with gold. Around 1886, a hospital was built at Praia Preta, "black beach," in which immigrants arriving on the island were often placed under quarantine. Later, between 1903 and 1994, a penal colony located on the island made it less attractive for tourists, so that most gave the island a wide berth. These days, visitors can take a look around the jail ruins, which are right beside a beautiful beach.
Vila do Abraao is the best place to start if you want to explore the island and the rental mountain bikes available there are a good way to get to the neighboring beaches. Just a few kilometers down the road you come to Enseada das Estrelas (Star Bay); some of the villas near the shore there belong to Brazilian film stars. A hiking trail will take you the eight kilometers to Lopes Mendes, a long, white beach that's a particular favorite with surfers. But be prepared for some exertion because the trail is a continuous string of ups and downs. Also strenuous but worth the effort is the three-hour climb to the top of Pico Papagaio, so called because it is shaped like the beak of a parrot, which at 985 meters is the second-highest mountain on the island.
For those who prefer to avoid physical exertion while on holiday, there are water taxis to take you from beach to beach. Or why not take a cruise on a schooner? This is a wonderful way of exploring the island's remote bays. Every morning, the old sailing boats casts off to take tourists on a tour around the island; the captain navigates close to the shore, past the protected bay of Saco Ceu and the charming little beach at Freguesia de Santana. The schooner anchors at Lagoa Azul, the Blue Lagoon, where the crystal-clear water teems with thousands of brightly colored fish and languid giant turtles. Visitors can dive in and snorkel between the starfish and coral, or enjoy a sunbathe on the beach. Another spot well worth visiting is the Green Lagoon – Lagoa Verde – which is not far from the wide beach at Aracatiba. As well as being the perfect excursion for nature enthusiasts, the boat trips are a fun experience: beer and caipirinha are served, there is dancing and plenty of opportunities to meet fellow travelers.

For the most part this rip is clearly above DVDrip quality, you won't see a 1cd dvdrip better than this. Indeed the new HD source is nice quality. However it is still a tv rip and unfortunately there's a couple of seconds with a logo towards the beginning of the second half and 1 dropped/corrupted frame that i saw (the colours suddenly change for a second). Apart from those moments this source is excellent.
This version is fully uncut/unrated, restoring mandatory forced MPAA cuts and has a little introduction by Stuart Gordon confirming this. This is not available on DVD.

The Occupy Wall Street protestors hit the big time this afternoon, when they swarmed the Brooklyn Bridge.
They also infuriated a construction worker, who denounced them as "hippies."
So, what are the Occupy Wall Street protestors protesting, anyway?
What do they want?
On Friday, the two-week old protest group finally issued a manifesto detailing what many are calling their "demands."
But the manifesto isn't a list of demands so much as a list of grievances.
Some of these grievances, it turns out, are perfectly reasonable.
Others are dubious.
Still others are ridiculous.
The protestors still haven't stated what they want. But at least now we know what they're upset about.
So let's have a look, shall we?
Here's an annotated copy of the manifesto... My comments are in red, the protestors' in black.
Declaration of the Occupation of New York City
[Nice echo of the Declaration of Independence.]
As we gather together in solidarity to express a feeling of mass injustice [good start—the bailout WAS mass injustice—I'm still pissed-off about it], we must not lose sight of what brought us together. We write so that all people who feel wronged by the corporate forces of the world can know that we are your allies.
As one people, united, we acknowledge the reality: that the future of the human race requires the cooperation of its members; that our system must protect our rights, and upon corruption of that system, it is up to the individuals to protect their own rights, and those of their neighbors; that a democratic government derives its just power from the people, but corporations do not seek consent to extract wealth from the people and the Earth; and that no true democracy is attainable when the process is determined by economic power. [More Declaration of Independence cadence.]
We come to you at a time when corporations, which place profit over people [unfair blanket smear], self-interest over justice [also an unfair smear], and oppression over equality [oh, please—Procter & Gamble makes toothpaste—it's not their job to worry about "equality"], run our governments ["run" is a bit strong, but "influence" is certainly fair].
We have peaceably assembled here, as is our right, to let these facts be known.
They have taken our houses through an illegal foreclosure process, despite not having the original mortgage. [Yes, they appear to have taken some houses through an illegal process. But, to be fair, in almost all cases, they took them because you did not make your payments.]
They have taken bailouts from taxpayers with impunity, and continue to give Executives exorbitant bonuses. [Oh, yes]
They have perpetuated inequality and discrimination in the workplace based on age, the color of one's skin, sex, gender identity and sexual orientation. [In some cases, yes, but, again, a blanket smear]
They have poisoned the food supply through negligence [In some cases, yes], and undermined the farming system through monopolization. [You probably mean "consolidation," not "monopolization," but fine. Your food is now cheaper as a result of this consolidation, though.]
They have profited off of the torture, confinement, and cruel treatment of countless animals, and actively hide these practices. [Fair.]
They have continuously sought to strip employees of the right to negotiate for better pay and safer working conditions. [You mean they've tried to discourage the formation of unions? Okay. But unions cause a lot of problems, too. See the car industry bankruptcy, for example.]
They have held students hostage with tens of thousands of dollars of debt on education, which is itself a human right. [Oh, please. Grow up. The students borrowed the money. Don't blame the lenders for asking them to pay it back. And since when is education a "human right"? UPDATE: A couple of readers have pointed out that the UN has, in fact, declared education a right, at least elementary education. I'm not sure I agree with the UN, but I stand corrected. That said, it's clear the UN is referring to basic education, not college and professional educations, which are generally what lead to student loans. Basic education is, in fact, free in the United States. And no one takes out student loans to go K-12.]
They have consistently outsourced labor and used that outsourcing as leverage to cut workers' healthcare and pay. [You mean they have reduced costs to remain competitive? Yes, some of them have. And they've had to. Many corporations have increased pay, however—see Google, Facebook, Apple, and Wall Street. And it's not fair to blame the healthcare mess on companies. Employer-provided health insurance should be a benefit, not a right.]
They have influenced the courts to achieve the same rights as people, with none of the culpability or responsibility. [The second part is wrong—plenty of companies get in legal trouble—but I'll leave first part to the legal scholars.]
They have spent millions of dollars on legal teams that look for ways to get them out of contracts in regards to health insurance. [In aggregate? Possibly true. But many, many companies—probably the vast majority—have provided good health coverage for their employees, despite not being legally obligated to.]
They have sold our privacy as a commodity. [Seems unlikely that any company has actually sold your "privacy." Maybe your "private information"]
They have used the military and police force to prevent freedom of the press. [Examples, please. And please note that "the press" is generally owned by corporations, too, so they don't need the military and police to exercise control over it.]
They have deliberately declined to recall faulty products endangering lives in pursuit of profit. [Some bad or sleazy companies, yes. Most, no.]
They determine economic policy, despite the catastrophic failures their policies have produced and continue to produce. [No, they do not "determine" economic policy. They do have a lot of influence over economic policy But inasmuch as economic policy directly and primarily affects corporations—and the ~100 million Americans who work for corporations—it seems reasonable that they should have some influence here. Or do you exclude those ~100 million employees from "the people."?]
They have donated large sums of money to politicians, who are responsible for regulating them. [True.]
They continue to block alternate forms of energy to keep us dependent on oil. [Well, oil and coal companies certainly aren't eager to see safe cold fusion or mass-solar or geo-thermal commercialized anytime soon. But alternative energy corporations would be stoked to see us forgo oil. And many other companies—most, actually—couldn't really care less what their power comes from, as long as it's affordable.]
They continue to block generic forms of medicine that could save people's lives or provide relief in order to protect investments that have already turned a substantial profit. ["Block?" You mean try to enforce their patents? Developing drugs is expensive. How would you like it if you spent $1 billion developing a boner pill only to have your competitor instantly reverse-engineer it and start selling it for 1/10th your price? Having at least some period of exclusivity seems perfectly reasonable.]
They have purposely covered up oil spills, accidents, faulty bookkeeping, and inactive ingredients in pursuit of profit. [Yes, some have.]
They purposefully keep people misinformed and fearful through their control of the media. [Oh, come on. Take off the tinfoil hats. People aren't THAT stupid. And the media LOVES to trash corporations. And besides, now there's the Internet and Twitter, so you don't need the media anymore.]
They have accepted private contracts to murder prisoners even when presented with serious doubts about their guilt. [Sounds horrible. Need some details. Again, almost certainly not something the vast majority of companies have done.]
They have perpetuated colonialism at home and abroad. They have participated in the torture and murder of innocent civilians overseas. ["Perpetuated colonialism." Need some more detail there. And with respect to the "murder of innocent civilians overseas," you probably want to direct some blame at governments, too.]
They continue to create weapons of mass destruction in order to receive government contracts. [Okay, but let's rephrase that, shall we? They make weapons that governments order.]
To the people of the world,
We, the New York City General Assembly occupying Wall Street in Liberty Square, urge you to assert your power.
Exercise your right to peaceably assemble; occupy public space; create a process to address the problems we face, and generate solutions accessible to everyone.
To all communities that take action and form groups in the spirit of direct democracy, we offer support, documentation, and all of the resources at our disposal.
Join us and make your voices heard!

Business Challenge
Wageningen University and Research Centre (WUR) combines a top Dutch university with specialized research institutes focused on sustainability. To meet its demand for performance and 24x7 availability, its IT group needed to optimize a vast and complex infrastructure encompassing approximately 750 servers, 700 terabytes of data, 26,000 email inboxes receiving 500,000 emails daily, and more than 7,000 mobile devices. The first step was to gain up-to-date visibility into its infrastructure components.
BMC Solution
WUR uses BMC Discovery (ADDM) to capture data on IT infrastructure components and create a service map that depicts those components as parts of a business service, including their interrelationships. A key consideration in the choice was the solution's ability to map both commercial and in-house developed applications.
Business Impact
The visibility provided by the BMC solution helps WUR's IT staff speed problem identification and resolution, prioritize support based on business impact, and perform infrastructure changes without disrupting users.
- Automated service mapping for commercial and in-house applications—80 services in all—helps IT staff assess change and prioritize incident response.
- Clear insight into server configurations and relationships made it possible to complete a data center move involving 300 servers in two days without user disruption.
- Rapid identification and remediation of non-approved configurations aids standardization to ensure a more secure and stable environment.
"With BMC Discovery...we have clear visibility into the services we deliver, the relationships of the services to the IT infrastructure, and the business impact of the services."— Wilfred Hoefakker, IT Service Manager for Education, WUR

I found this site through the "Atheist/Agnostic" category on stumbleupon.com, and when I first saw it, I was truly intrigued. As I poked around a bit, I was astonished at what I found: an online community where rational, logical discussion can be had about religious, social, and political issues - with no fear of the Bible being thrown in my face. After a couple of days of viewing discussions and looking at the photos - some general research, I guess you could call it - I have finally decided to join the community.
That being said, I suppose I should actually introduce myself.
I am an 18 year-old woman who considers herself to be, at this point in time, an agnostic anti-theist of sorts. If you have any questions about that, feel free to ask me. I have noticed, however, that I am starting to lean towards the atheist end of the spectrum, but am currently still questioning things.
As I have just graduated high school this past May, I am still living in a household with my father, stepmother, brother, and step-siblings, who are all actively involved in a local church, which I am still forced to attend on the Sundays I find myself with my father and not at my job. I have yet to approach the topic about my lack of religion with him, and I have no idea how to without getting myself kicked out of my house. If anyone has any ideas, I'd really appreciative, but I'm not hopeful. As for now, my plan is to wait until I leave for college this August.
I look forward to participating in discussions soon.

Thanks! It's nice to be here!
Two points:
While I don't know your situation, it will (in all likelihood) profoundly change your family dynamic if you tell your dad that your agnostic. So, think hard about whether or not you want to.
An Atheist IS an agnostic. God is simply very, very, very improbable. If I told you that there was a pink teapot the size of a planet 1.5 light years from the earth, you'd say "BS!". God is a super-intellect that exists outside of the confines of space and time. Both notions are apparent nonsense. But, hey, if there is proof.... That said, a Scriptural God can be definitively dismissed (due to the paper trail).
I'm crashing after writing this and won't respond tonight. Sorry
Of course it might be very safe to assert that there is such a planet at 1.5 LY out, if you do fail to mention its location. The 'truth' of the assertion might take sometime before the disconfirmation. It is unclear if the present deep sky surveys can determine 'shape' at present state of the art. Asking researchers to start looking for 'tea pots', might be meet with, 'Wow we never thought of that!'. Discounting it because it seems absurd, might be ok. If memory serves, I think there are some asteroids that have strange shapes, but please do not qoute me..LOL.
Would the 'tea pot' shape be an indication of 'intelligence'?
Sure, the "teapot" thing is a metaphor for an absurd statement. God is a super-intellect that exists outside of the confines of space and time. And, that is inherently absurd. It could be proven true: I'm not holding my breath.
I keep thinking that this point was made in the 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'.
Nope. Bertrand Russel said that there is a china teapot orbiting the sun somewhere between Mars and Earth. Due to the size of a china teapot, it would be impossible to detect if it was moving at a speed capable of maintaining orbit for something so small, somewhere around the speed of sound or higher. It could be there, or it might not. We have no way of knowing.
Carl Sagan provided another one that might stand the test of time better than Russel's teapot. Sagan said that he had an invisible, incorporeal, floating dragon that spits heat-less flames living in his garage.
Both of these claims are called Unfalsifiable Hypothesis. They are phrased in a way that they sound like fact, but there is absolutely no way to design an experiment to test them, so they can't be disproven. The thing about unfalsifiable claims is that they can't be proven either.
Theists take things that can't be disproven and assume that that means they must be true, where Atheists take things that can't be proven or disproven, and simply put them to one side until some actual evidence turns up, essentially saying, this is false until proven true.
Just as a side note... the orbital speed for something in an orbit between Mars and Earth wouldn't depend at all on the size of the object. It depends on the mass of the sun (quite close to constant) and the size of the orbit, which is defined as half of the major (long) axis of the ellipse (or, if it's a perfectly circular orbit, the orbit's radius).
It ends up being faster than Mars' velocity and slower than Earth's, depending on just where that object is orbiting. Which makes sense if you think about it because they are in (nearly) circular orbits about the sun, why shouldn't their speeds "bracket" the speed of a hypothetical body with an orbit between theirs? Whatever it is though, it's nowhere near the speed of sound as you seem to think it might be, but rather much, MUCH higher. Somewhere between 15 and 18.5 miles per second, relative to the sun. Sound moves, depending on atmospheric conditions--which is why it's hard to pin people down on how fast Mach 1 is--something like 0.2 miles per second. Quite a difference!
Other than that minor detail you are spot on, particularly with your larger point--with the caveat that some people will take things that can't be proven or disproven and classify them as "not even wrong," i.e, not even rising to the level of a wrong statement.
Agnosticism is the view that the truth values of certain claims—especially claims about the existence or non-existence of any deity, but also other religious and metaphysical claims—are unknown or unknowable.[1][2] Agnosticism can be defined in various ways, and is sometimes used to indicate doubt or a skeptical approach to questions. In some senses, agnosticism is a stance about the difference between belief and knowledge, rather than about any specific claim or belief. In the popular sense, an agnostic is someone who is undecided about the existence of a deity or deities, whereas a theist and an atheist believe and disbelieve, respectively.[2] In the strict sense, however, agnosticism is the view that human reason is incapable of providing sufficient rational grounds to justify the belief that deities either do or do not exist. Within agnosticism there are agnostic atheists (who do not believe any deity exists, but do not deny it as a possibility) and agnostic theists (who believe a deity exists but do not claim it as personal knowledge).
Types of agnosticism
Agnosticism can be subdivided into several categories, some of which may be disputed. Variations include:
Agnostic atheists are atheistic because they do not have belief in the existence of any deity, and agnostic because they do not claim to know that a deity does not exist.[16]
The view of those who do not claim to know of the existence of any deity, but still believe in such an existence.[16]
Apathetic or pragmatic agnosticism
The view that there is no proof of either the existence or nonexistence of any deity, but since any deity that may exist appears unconcerned for the universe or the welfare of its inhabitants, the question is largely academic.[17]
The view that a coherent definition of a deity must be put forward before the question of the existence of a deity can be meaningfully discussed. If the chosen definition is not coherent, the ignostic holds the noncognitivist view that the existence of a deity is meaningless or empirically untestable.[18]
A.J. Ayer, Theodore Drange, and other philosophers see both atheism and agnosticism as incompatible with ignosticism on the grounds that atheism and agnosticism accept "a deity exists" as a meaningful proposition which can be argued for or against.
Strong agnosticism (also called "hard," "closed," "strict," or "permanent agnosticism")
The view that the question of the existence or nonexistence of a deity or deities, and the nature of ultimate reality is unknowable by reason of our natural inability to verify any experience with anything but another subjective experience. A strong agnostic would say, "I cannot know whether a deity exists or not, and neither can you."
Weak agnosticism (also called "soft," "open," "empirical," or "temporal agnosticism")
The view that the existence or nonexistence of any deities is currently unknown but is not necessarily unknowable; therefore, one will withhold judgment until/if any evidence is available. A weak agnostic would say, "I don't know whether any deities exist or not, but maybe one day, when there is evidence, we can find something out."
The view that universal ethics and love can guide actions more effectively than questioning the existence of deities. A spiritual agnostic would say "It doesn't matter which religion you might follow, nor does it matter whether or not you believe in God. What matters is what you do, not what you believe."[19]
Atheism is, in a broad sense, the rejection of belief in the existence of deities.[1] In a narrower sense, atheism is specifically the position that there are no deities.[2][3] Most inclusively, atheism is simply the absence of belief that any deities exist.[3][4][5] Atheism is contrasted with theism,[6][7] which in its most general form is the belief that at least one deity exists.[7][8]
Ignosticism or igtheism is the theological position that every other theological position (including agnosticism and atheism) assumes too much about the concept of God and many other theological concepts.
It can be defined as encompassing two related views about the existence of God:
Some philosophers have seen ignosticism as a variation of agnosticism or atheism,[1] while others have considered it to be distinct. An ignostic maintains that they cannot even say whether they are a theist or an atheist until a sufficient definition of theism is put forth.
Personally, I would encourage you to wait. However, how are you managing college? Are your parents helping pay for college? If so, there might still be an issue. As many in The Clergy Project have found, the consequences of "coming out" can be significant and wide reaching. It is really each individual who has to make a decision based on their own circumstances, whether they can risk it. There is a lot to be said for the courage to come out and being willing to sacrifice for the cause of secularism in the US, but in the end it is your own precious life that you must consider.
You should have a backup plan to deal with the possible fall out.
Welcome to Think Atheist Kelsey. I agree. This community is amazing!
Dear Kelsey:
You could just wait till you are ready to leave home, but I understand that that could be hard. Both my parents were educated at catholic schools, but my mother was well read and had suffered severly from several family deaths, my father was not well read and just mostly repeated what he was taught.
It is unclear how each of us come to our realizations. I expect that it is rather individualized. For me, is was my science interest, deaths in our family, family violence, and watching the lives of others.
Take care

China Says Terrorism, U.S. Says Prove It
After a deadly explosion in China's restive western region of Xinjiang this week, few observers were surprised when China's government quickly blamed separatists for an act of terrorism.
The U.S. government a day later called on Beijing to provide more proof about such claims.
Released on Thursday, the China section of the U.S. State Department's annual Country Reports on Terrorism didn't deal with the latest railway station explosion in the Xinjiang capital of Urumqi.
But it took issue with the limited information provided by China's government following other deadly incidents that authorities likewise blamed on separatists. Those include the careering of a jeep into a crowd near the portrait of Mao Zedong in Tiananmen Square last October; the three people inside—ethnic Uighurs from Xinjiang--then set the vehicle on fire, according to official Chinese accounts.
"Chinese authorities labeled several incidents of violence involving members of the Uighur minority as acts of terrorism," said the State Department report. "In general, Chinese authorities did not provide detailed evidence of terrorist involvement, and restricted the ability of journalists and international observers to independently verify official media accounts."

- China Doubles Down on Terrorism 'Double Standards' Accusation
- What's in a Name? China's 'ISIS' Store Gets a Visit from the Authorities
- Beijing Faces Anger at Home Over Islamic State Hostage Killing
That view also appeared reflected in the State Department's official response to the train station incident. Spokeswoman Marie Harf didn't use the word terror in commenting on it:
"The United States condemns the horrific and despicable acts of violence against innocent civilians at the train station in Urumqi in Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region of China," she said, using the region's full official name. "We offer our condolences and sympathies to the victims, their families, and all of those affected by this tragedy."
In addition to faulting China for limiting information flow on acts it labels terrorism, the State Department said Beijing often fails to back up public statements in support of international cooperation to combat terrorism.
The U.S. report also charged that recent Chinese legislation widens authorities' remit to arrest suspects for "endangering state security or crimes of terrorism" and that authority has been used to detain dissidents, human rights activists and religious practitioners.
Such assessments are irresponsible, China's Foreign Ministry said in response.
"China falls victim of terrorism, and always firmly opposes terrorism in any form and terrorist acts conducted or backed by any person under any name," Foreign Ministry Spokesman Qin Gang said in a statement published on the ministry's website shortly after the U.S. report was released (in Chinese and English).
Despite Beijing's accusation that the U.S. has a double-standard when it comes to terrorism in China—a criticism repeated by Mr. Qin—Chinese are also conflicted about how to characterize violence with political overtones. Only days after the fiery car crash in Tiananmen Square was labeled terrorism, authorities declined to use the term when a middle-aged Chinese man was arrested for detonating explosives outside a Communist Party building in the city of Taiyuan.
On a tour of Xinjiang this week, Chinese President Xi Jinping spent much of his time signaling he has all the proof he needs about the threat faced by his country. Following the Urumqi explosion, he was quoted by the Xinhua news agency saying the "anti-separatism battle in Xinjiang is long-term, complicated and acute."

As use of the Internet grows more sophisticated and complex, so does the need for greater capacity and faster downloads. It is only fitting, then, that users are signing up for broadband at a rate that can be described as nothing short of high-speed.
According to the Scottsdale, Ariz.-based market research firm, In-Stat, the number of worldwide global broadband subscribers grew by 25 percent from 2007 to 2009. Total subscribers reached 763 million at the end of 2010. Of those, 179 million were in the United States.
Simply put, this rapid expansion represents a growing need for speed. Applications such as watching online video, using Internet protocol-based telephony services, and downloading music files require much greater bandwidth. Their growing popularity is responsible for the trend.
The numbers will eventually level off. According to In-Stat analyst Vahid Dejwakh, subscriber growth rates are expected to "slowly decrease" to 10 percent by 2014 as the broadband market matures. However, the opportunities still abound.
Growth in broadband subscribers varies across the globe for different technologies. For example, total worldwide digital subscriber line (DSL) customers were expected to reach 371 million at the end of 2010, fueled primarily by strong demand for DSL service in the Asia-Pacific region. Also, mobile wireless broadband subscribers continue to grow rapidly as mobile telephone service providers roll out 3G and 4G services. Approximately 76 percent of the world's fiber to the home (FTTH) subscribers reside in the Asia-Pacific region, and North America continues to be the largest market for cable modem services.
In-Stat's findings were reported in the study, "World Connecting at Broadband Speeds, More Mobile in 2010."

LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA – Lawyers for a medical marijuana dispensary worker wounded in a police raid at a Long Beach shop filed a claim on Thursday seeking $1 million in damages from the city of Long Beach.
The claim, a precursor to a lawsuit, alleges that a police raid of a pot shop June 19 was illegal and that the officers involved used excessive force.
"In terms of the excessive force claim, we will investigate that aspect of it," said Long Beach City Attorney Robert E. Shannon.
Shannon said that the Long Beach Police Department is also mulling whether to open a criminal investigation into the activities of the medical marijuana dispensary and police are considering an internal investigation into the officers' conduct during the raid, Shannon said.
The claim, filed Thursday with the Long Beach City Clerk's office, alleges officers injured a volunteer employee, violated his civil rights, and violated the state's disabled persons act.
It also alleges officers "engaged in conduct that violated various provisions of the state and federal constitutions," the claim alleges.
The claim stems from a YouTube video that shows officers smashing surveillance cameras and stepping on a suspect at THC Downtown Collective in the 300 block of Atlantic Boulevard. The video was posted by user "Long Beach Raids" on July 1. Officials said they learned about the video on July 3.
An advocate for medical marijuana dispensary owners and workers criticized the officers' conduct.
"That behavior is so blatant it cannot be the first time," said Steven Downing, a retired Los Angeles Police Department deputy chief and current board member of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition."It was arrogant. It was unnecessary and it was brutal."
The claim seeks damages in excess $1 million for medical treatment and mental counseling.

Persistent pain following ankle sprain: bilateral accessory soleus muscles
M Neethling-du Toit; R V P de Villiers; E W Derman
A 22-year-old rugby player presented with persistent left ankle pain, especially with plantar-flexion during weight bearing, for 4 months following an innocuous lateral ankle sprain. The left ankle revealed reduced plantar-flexion range of motion with tenderness on palpation of the anterior-lateral ankle gutter and forced plantar flexion reproduced his discomfort.
Ultrasound demonstrated a left accessory soleus muscle (Fig. 1). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of both ankles (Figs 2 and 3) showed a large accessory soleus muscle between the flexor hallucis longus muscle belly and the Achilles tendon inserting onto the posteromedial edge of the calcaneus via a thin tendinous insertion. A similar accessory soleus muscle with different insertion was demonstrated on the asymptomatic right ankle.
Following corticosteroid infiltration around the muscle sheath, brief immobilisation, physiotherapy and strengthening and ankle rehabilitation, he returned to sport after 4 weeks.
Persistent ankle pain following ankle sprain remains a difficult diagnostic and management dilemma.1 To our knowledge, this is the first report of a patient with bilateral accessory soleus muscles where a unilateral muscle injury caused persistent pain following minor ankle sprain. The accessory soleus muscle is a rare anatomical variation (0.7 - 10% of individuals2) usually presenting as a bulging soft-tissue mass posteromedially between the distal tibia and the Achilles tendon. It presents commonly in the second and third decades of life, when the muscle undergoes hypertrophy through sporting activity;3 five varieties of insertion sites have been described.3
Ultrasound and MRI effectively demonstrate a soft-tissue mass anterior to the Achilles tendon. MRI is the examination of choice, enabling confirmation of the muscle injury and exclusion of other conditions. 25% of cases are asymptomatic and need no treatment. In symptomatic patients, treatment options include ultrasound-guided corticosteroid injection followed by rehabilitation, while surgical options include fasciotomy or excision of the accessory muscle. Heightened clinical awareness of the accessory soleus muscles and appropriate imaging studies yield definitive diagnosis.

When: Saturday, October 15, 2011 1:30 pm Where: Oriental Institute
1155 East 58th Street, Chicago, IL
Description: This course is part of the Ground to Gallery series, but may be taken individually.
In 1933, Oriental Institute archaeologists working in Iran at the site of the ancient capital of Persepolis discovered tens of thousands of clay tablet documents within a bastion of the city's fortification wall. Most of the tablets, which date to around 500 BC, were loaned to the Oriental Institute for analysis in 1936. Join Professor Matthew Stolper to learn how the Institute's long and painstaking study of the Persepolis Fortification Archive has provided a wealth of information about the languages, society, institutions, religion, and art of the ancient Persian Empire at its zenith. Then go behind the scenes to see how the Archive is now the subject of a multi-institutional research project that uses the most advanced imaging equipment to record and study the tablets.

Cold comforts
Like to spend the night in a house of ice and snow, like the Inuit? Well, you can – and without having to travel to the Arctic or give up any of life's comforts.
Igloo villages pop up each year in seven Alpine locations, including Zugspitz glacier, Gstaad and Davos. Couples can book a romance igloo and cuddle up in a double sleeping bag. The cheaper option is a night in the group igloo.
The Hôtel de Glace near Quebec, Canada, is rebuilt in snow and ice every year. It has 45 rooms – and a chapel where guests who have warmed to each other can even tie the knot.
If you hate the cold but want the igloo atmosphere, book in at the Arctic Resort in Kakslauttanen, Finland. From your glass igloo, you'll have the best view of the northern lights right from your bed.

In an odd twist of fate, I thought I might share my latest story in search of the family of Theophilus and Martha France. I stumbled on this photograph when scanning the photos of my Great Great Grandmother. She married Herbert Coley, whose sister, Martha Ann, is shown above. This photo was in the collection, likely from Martha France herself, to my Great Great Grandfather Herbert. The photo just had the two names written on the back of the photo.
Since, I have tried to track down the family with little or no success. I will give some of the limited history I know at this point and then close with my latest little find.
Theophilus was born 26 December 1863 in Dudley, Staffordshire, England. He married Martha Ann Coley 4 November 1891 in Logan, Cache, Utah in the Logan LDS Temple. Martha was born 18 August 1860 in Lutley, Worcestershire, England to Stephen and Hannah Maria Rogers Coley.
Theophilus was a musician that took the family to various places chasing performing and music instructions. Mostly in Cache Valley, but also taking in a jaunt to Salina, Sevier, Utah.
Born to the family were 5 children.
Ada France born 1 April 1893 in Franklin, Franklin, Idaho and died 14 February 1957 in Caldwell, Canyon, Idaho. She married Henry James Flippence.
Marguerite France born 19 October 1894 in Franklin and died 20 Mar 1936 in Logan. She married George Bright.
Wilford France born 25 Mar 1897 in Lewiston, Cache, Utah and died 28 August 1986 in Los Angeles County, California. He married Elsie Arvilla Brown.
John France born 22 May 1899 in Lewiston and died 18 June 1953 in Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah. He married Meryln Burton.
Beatrice France born 16 October 1901 in Lewiston and died 14 October 1997 in Salt Lake City. She married Robert Wallace Ekenstam.
From the census records, it appears Martha may have had a son (maybe a brother) named Frank. He appears and then disappears. He may be a cousin who came over from England with Martha and then died, married, or just moved away. I cannot trace him down again, so this is one question I have always wanted to answer. But finding a member of this family has not proved easy.
I knew Theophilus and Martha are buried in the Lewiston Cemetery. Her brother, George, and their parents, Stephen and Hannah, my Great Great Great Grandparents are also buried there. Theophilus died 30 October 1923 in Lewiston. Martha died 18 July 1949 in Parma, Canyon, Idaho.
George Bright and Marguerite Coley had at least 8 children, but only one of them lived to marry. I knew her name was Gennevieve Bright and that she had married a man by the name of Elvon Monson Jensen 22 April 1947. He died in 1990 and trying to track down a lady Monson in Utah or Idaho, especially where she could have remarried, seemed an impossible task. I left it there and tried some of the other lines.
In 2011, I was in my office and visiting with the wife of the other attorney from who I rent office space. I knew Kent was from Preston and in a lull of the conversation asked the name of Kent's parents. She mentioned Elvon and Gennevieve. I could not tell where, but I knew that Elvon Jensen was in my family history. That night I looked him up and sure enough, there he was. I rent office space in Burley, Idaho from my 3rd cousin, once removed! Kent's children are my 4th cousins.
It was with some sweet satisfaction that I was able to provide a copy of the photograph of Theophilus and Martha above to him. He had not seen a picture of them before. I asked that he put me in contact with the member of his family who does the family history on the France/Coley line. Maybe I can help bridge some of the divide and flesh out more fully the Coley line in Utah and Idaho.
The picture above of Theophilus and Martha was scanned in 2006. Who knew that I would be providing a photo of ancestors to a line who did not have a photograph. Maybe there will be more such stories in the future with all the photos I have and continue to make available. We can only hope. Here is a photo of Martha later in life, I don't know how old she was at the time.

Basically, I live on a horizontally subdivided house (With the 2nd floor being a separate residence) and what happened was a fire broke out on the ground floor. Waking up to an emergency is not how I wanted to start my day.I booked it out of there the moment I realised what was going on. Sadly, I forgot to grab my cards, money (or even my shoes) and we're not allowed back in until they complete an investigation. We've no idea how it went down, apart from the fact we had nothing to do with it.
