Initially, I had seen the prototypical videos of kids jumping off of buildings and doing crazy awesome flips and was always too scared to try them myself. I believe one day I actually ran outside at 2:00 AM after watching hours of videos of wall flips and had located the closest tree at full speed, ran up a step or two, and proceeded to fall directly onto my shoulder blades—pinecones, sticks, rocks, and all.
After a few more similar events in my teenage life, I had found a group (Lehigh Valley Parkour) taught by Adam McClellan, Andy Keller, and a few others. Soon after two or three courses, I had realized that all of the videos that I used to think were so awesome were a bit misleading. I had learned much less about doing awesome flips and more about self-discipline, perseverance, and overcoming physical and mental fear. I think at that point my training really "began."

SANAA (Xinhua) -- Yemen's security services today
set free a Filipino nurse two hours after she was kidnapped in the
Yemeni capital, the official Saba news agency reported.
"The 20-year-old Filipino, who works with one of the Yemeni government hospitals, was released unharmed earlier Monday nearly two hours after she was kidnapped," Saba quoted a spokesman of Interior Ministry as saying.
The nurse was forced into a car by two gunmen late Sunday in Hadda Street in downtown Sanaa.
"The security services traced a blue Suzuki Vitara on a highway in the southeast of Sanaa, captured the kidnappers and set the Filipino nurse free," the spokesman said.
The incident came less than two days after militants snatched two Finns and an Austrian in central Sanaa, just a few meters east of the Presidential Palace.
The Yemeni Interior Ministry has formed a crisis team to search for the three hostages.

Barry Rubin, geen linkse jongen, neemt stelling voor het recht op vrije meningsuiting van zijn tegenstanders. Dat zou eigenlijk normaal moeten zijn maar is het niet. Nadat ik een keer in de Volkskrant stond beklaagden velen, waaronder Anja Meulenbelt, zich er luidkeels over dat de Volkskrant podium geeft aan zionisten zoals ik. Men zou volgens haar alleen pro-Palestijnen aan het woord moeten laten. Het is een absolutistische opvatting die je helaas aan beide kanten tegenkomt. Alleen de eigen mening is goed en waar, en verdient het om gehoord te worden.
"Hoewel de Palestijnen het recht hebben om terrorisme tegen ons te gebruiken, wil ik niet dat ze dat doen. Als Israëliër zal ik er alles aan doen om te verhinderen dat een Palestijn een van mijn landgenoten doodt."
Later verduidelijkte hij niet de intentie te hebben het terrorisme aan te moedigen. Hij verklaarde enkel te willen aantonen dat de Palestijnen tot extreme handelingen worden gedreven omdat hen het recht op onafhankelijkheid wordt ontzegd.
Derfner werd ontslagen omwille van professionele meningsverschillen. (afp/adv)
Het ligt natuurlijk in Israel extra gevoelig om het vermoorden van kinderen en andere onschuldige burgers goed te praten, en ik kan me de onvrede daarover ook wel voorstellen. Het siert een krant als de Jerusalem Post dat men verschillende linkse en Israelkritische columnisten heeft, waaronder Derfner en Baskin. Het is jammer dat Derfner daar nu niet meer bij is. In Nederlandse kranten is diversiteit in visies op Israel en het Palestijns-Arabische conflict overigens vaak ver te zoeken.
Larry Derfner Should be Debated, Not Fired
Posted: 29 Aug 2011 08:31 AM PDT
By Barry Rubin
The Jerusalem Post columnist Larry Derfner was fired today because he wrote on his blog a statement many readers saw as justifying Palestinian terrorism against Israelis. As so often happens when people focus on a single sentence of an article, they're missing the point, or at least the most important point. It also throws away what President Barack Obama calls a teachable moment.
The issue here is not "left" versus "right" but rather what is true and what is not.
In addition, columnists should not be continued in their jobs if their writing is not interesting or is factually inaccurate, not because they write something that people don't like.
All too often nowadays the response to disagreement is to try to destroy people on the other side of the argument, to delegitimize them with name-calling and to silence them. That's not the way democratic debate is supposed to work. If you think someone is wrong then answer the substance of the statements being made.
I don't think Derfner should have been fired. Rather the point is that people should have answered what he said. Like Gideon Levy of Haaretz he is still arguing the line that terrorism is basically Israel's fault. They hate us and want to kill us because we haven't made enough concessions and because we are oppressing them. That's the issue, not "justifying" terrorism.
Of course, Derfner's position implies that if Israel ended the "occupation" and accepted a Palestinian state, terrorism, incitement, and hatred would stop. Many people throughout the world think the same thing.
That is a point worth debating. Since 1993, Israel has been trying out that theory and it has proven to be false. Unfortunately, and I wish things were different, we learned that the Palestinian leadership doesn't want compromise and is unable to deliver it.
There are two problems here. First, the Palestinian leaders seek to wipe Israel off the map and are not in favor of a lasting, stable, and peaceful two-state solution. We know this by reading their words in Arabic, watching the institutions they direct, and observing their actions.
Second, the Palestinian leaders--including those like Prime Minister Salam Fayyad--who do want negotiated compromise solution are too weak to bring it about. They fear their own people who they've been inciting toward extremism for years; the hardline mainstream within Fatah; and, of course, their Hamas rivals.
So, no, giving more territory; accepting a Palestinian state unconditionally; letting terrorist attacks on Israel go unanswered by retaliation; and so on will not solve the problem. I genuinely wish it were otherwise. It would be far better if Israel's left-wing was correct and there was an easy and quick way to achieve full peace through a two-state solution this week.
Unfortunately, this wishful thinking is wrong and we have seen massive evidence to that effect. That's why the vast majority of Israelis--including those who in the past voted for people like Shimon Peres, Yitzhak Rabin, and Ehud Barak to be prime minister (for example, me), also know this is true.
Let's examine the issue. Derfner says that the "denial of independence" to the Palestinians is so bad that it's helping drive them to try to kill us.
1. But wait! Didn't they used to say that it was the occupation that is helping drive them to try to kill us?
But now there's no "occupation" (except in 20 percent of Hebron and east Jerusalem) and they are still trying to kill us!
And guess what? If they get independence they will still try to kill us because it will be Israel's existence and the status of the "pre-1948" Palestinians that is "so bad that it's helping drive them to try to kill us."
2. There's another way to look at this, too. If denying them independence is, "so bad that it's helping drive them to try to kill us."
Thus, if they obtained independence would they be so grateful, so happy, or so busy building up their country that they would stop trying to kill us?
No. We know--even many of the most dovish and leftist of us--that they will continue to try to kill us from a better strategic position that would make it more likely they would succeed. So what good would that step do? And that is precisely why Israelis are not eager to support independence without any preconditions.
Indeed, a few minutes after writing this piece, I noticed that Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas has stated that even if the UN recognizes the independence of Palestine, he and his government will still demand that all Palestinians who lived within Israel's borders before 1948 or any descendants of such people can demand to go live in Israel and Israel must let them in. Or there cannot be peace.
source: http://www.jpost.com/DiplomacyAndPolitics/Article.aspx?id=235789
You see, there's no end to this.
What happens when two weeks after independence there are more cross-border attacks? What happens if incitement continues? What happens if Hamas or radical Fatah forces seize power? What happens if the state of Palestine invites in foreign Arab forces or imports missiles or forms an alliance with Egypt or other states? I said "if" but I mean "when."
And the lack of an agreed and defined border, as well as the presence of Hamas rule in the Gaza Strip (which the Fatah-led leadership of Palestine would support against Israel) would guarantee tension and a likely crisis before long and periodically thereafter.
At that point, if Israel were to retaliate for an attack or act against a build-up of military forces against itself, that would constitute international aggression in the eyes of many, including a majority in the UN General Assembly. Nobody would help Israel deal with this threat, including the current government of the United States,
To leap into such a situation in the hope--without evidence--that they would then "stop trying to kill us" is insane. No Israeli government would do it and that's the correct decision.
3. And who is "them" when we discuss the Palestinians? Because obviously "them" doesn't apply to Hamas (the group that happens to run almost half of the Palestinian territories) or to many other Palestinian groups and leaders that aren't Islamist. It doesn't even apply to most of Fatah.
In short, Derfner's formulation is nonsense. And to understand why it is nonsense is the essential point to understanding the conflict, the failure of the "Peace Process," and the Middle East.
But that doesn't mean he should be fired.

Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro called supporters to take to the street tomorrow, hours after an opposition politician sought by police urged his allies to march with him on the same day.
Leopoldo Lopez, the leader of opposition party Voluntad Popular, whom Maduro accuses of inciting violence, urged Venezuelans to dress in white and march with him on Tuesday, daring officials to enforce an arrest order issued against him. After Maduro responded by summoning a demonstration of 30,000 to 40,000 oil workers at the same location, Voluntad Popular today switched the site of their march.
"I've not committed any crime," Lopez said in a YouTube video posted on his Twitter account yesterday. "If there is a decision to illegally jail me, I'll be there."
On Feb. 12, three people died and 66 were injured when protesters clashed with government supporters. The biggest demonstrations against Maduro's administration since he was elected in April spread across the country this month as Venezuelans struggle with the world's fastest inflation and shortages of everything from medicine to food.
Carlos Vecchio, a Voluntad Popular spokesman, said today in Caracas his party has spoken to the Catholic Church and foreign diplomats about ensuring the protests are peaceful. He said the government bears the ultimate responsibility for the demonstrators' safety.
'To March'
"We're maintaining our call to march at 10 in the morning tomorrow," Vecchio said.
No demonstration permit has been requested or authorized for tomorrow in central Caracas, where Lopez plans to march, the municipality's Mayor Jorge Rodriguez said on state television today.
The South American country's benchmark dollar bond due in 2027 fell 1.7 percent in the past week to 64.8 cents on the dollar, near a 30-month low. The yield on the bond rose to 15.45 percent on Feb. 14, the highest among emerging markets, according to the JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s EMBIG index. U.S. markets are closed today.
Thousands of students protested in Venezuela's capital for the sixth day today, defying a presidential ban on public demonstrations. The national police fired tear gas and pellets last weekend to disperse crowds in the upscale Chacao municipality in eastern Caracas, leaving at least 40 people injured, Chacao Mayor Ramon Muchacho said in posts on his Twitter account.
Ordered Expulsion
Maduro has accused the U.S. of financing the opposition to destabilize the country and ordered the expulsion of three U.S. diplomats on Feb. 16. They have 48 hours to leave Venezuela, Foreign Minister Elias Jaua said on state television today.
The U.S. has not been notified of the expulsions, State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said in a statement today. Accusations of meddling are "baseless and false," she said.
Venezuela and the U.S. haven't had ambassadors in each others' capitals since 2010, when then-President Hugo Chavez refused to accept the U.S. government's chosen top diplomat in Caracas.
The prospect of competing marches on the same day may lead to more bloody clashes this week and heightens the chance of a disorderly outcome to the stand-off between government and opposition, said Virgilio Arraes, professor of international affairs at the University of Brasilia.
"If violence continues, Venezuela moves closer to an institutional crisis," in which the legitimacy of the government may be questioned, Arraes said by phone.
Arrest Warrant
National Assembly President Diosdado Cabello said this weekend that Venezuela's government had issued an arrest warrant for Lopez. Military officials visited Lopez's house in Caracas, and the residence of his parents, on Feb. 15 and showed a warrant that included the charge of intentional homicide, Voluntad Popular said yesterday in a statement.
Lopez said he would take petitions to the Interior Ministry that declare the government responsible for the Feb. 12 violence, seek the release of students being held and ask for the disarmament of pro-government groups known as collectives. He has maintained his innocence and says he only called for peaceful protests.
Maduro banned street demonstrations, threatened media and ordered the arrest of opposition politicians in an effort to quell the protests. He accuses his opponents of trying to incite a coup.
'Bolivarian Revolution'
"I'm not going to step down," Maduro said to allies in Caracas on Feb. 15. "No one will remove me from the path of building the Bolivarian revolution."
Inflation more than doubled in Venezuela in the past year to 56.3 percent in January, according to the central bank. At the same time, the bank's scarcity index rose to a record 28 percent, meaning that more than one in four basic goods was out of stock at any given time.
The public prosecutor said Feb. 15 in an e-mailed statement that 13 of 99 people who were detained over violent events on Feb. 12-13 will remain in prison after judges ruled that their actions were "severe." Student protesters are demanding the release of all those detained.
Maduro has accused international news outlets of bias. He took Colombian station NTN24 off the air in Venezuela for covering the protests and in a national address Feb. 13 criticized Agence France-Presse for manipulating information.
"We are particularly alarmed by reports that the Venezuelan government has arrested or detained scores of anti-government protesters and issued an arrest warrant for opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez," U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said in a statement on Feb. 15. "These actions have a chilling effect on citizens' rights to express their grievances peacefully."
Maduro has repudiated Kerry's statement.
"The U.S. said that we shouldn't arrest Leopoldo Lopez because it would have negative consequences," the Venezuelan president said yesterday. "That's an insolent and unacceptable request. I don't take threats from anyone."

Blackpool FC Community Trust host first 'Kicks on the beach' event
Last month, local authorities and partners from across the Fylde peninsular came together to launch LOVEmyBEACH Active Coast; a programme that highlights the range of sports and activities taking place throughout the summer on the Fylde's coastline.
The launch was also an opportunity to showcase the cleaner beaches and seas on the coast; all of which are rated Good or Excellent for water quality, and encourage other partners to see this as a space which can be used and enjoyed.
A video from the launch event can be found here:
An active supporter from the start, Blackpool Football Club Community Trust hosted walking football and a 5 a-side kick around at the launch event and returned to the beach on Thursday 26th July with their first public community event; Kicks on the Beach.
Kicks are free football sessions delivered by Blackpool FC Community Trust that take place across Blackpool for children and young people aged 7-19. This special event replaces their regular Kicks sessions and provides an opportunity for the community to come together and play football on the beach. The event was supported by the Blackpool FC Youth Squad as part of a Social Action project that they are involved in through the National Citizen Service.
Ashley Hackett, Chief Executive of Blackpool FC Community Trust added,
"Blackpool FC Community Trust provides a range of health and well being benefits for the local and wider Blackpool community for people of all ages. As a town, Blackpool are fortunate to have a fantastic beach along the promenade where thousands of people attend each year, The Trust in partnership with LOVEmyBEACH Active Coast, hope to inspire people to enjoy the local beach."
Dr Arif Rajpura, Director of Public Health for Blackpool commented,
"The beach shouldn't just be seen as a place for visitors; it's a clean and safe environment where a healthy lifestyle can be enjoyed year round. The Beach Kicks event is a great example of how the beach can be used if it's looked at in a different way. I'm sure the children will have a great time!"
