Roxie Kids is an age-appropriate film series for families and film lovers alike.
KIDS under 12 years old are Admission FREE!!
Winner of Barcelona Film Awards & Goya Award
Visually stunning and wildly inventive, this film explores the mystery of the night in a sweeping nocturnal adventure full of Alice in Wonderland-like characters and moody, dream-inspired landscapes. Have you ever wondered why your hair looks funny in the morning or where the sounds outside your window come from at night? A young boy named Tim finds out after an unusual discovery on the rooftop of his orphanage plunges him into the secret world of Nocturna, inhabited by curious creatures who control the night.
There are hairdressers who specialize in bed-heads, dream writers, and a vast herd of guardian cats led by the gigantic Cat Shepherd. Yet this world is in danger: the stars in the sky are disappearing, kids are becoming restless at night, and a mysterious shadow creature is haunting the empty streets, extinguishing anything that gives off light. If Tim and the Cat Shepherd can't set things right, nighttime will never be the same! Bold anime-influenced character design and beautiful, fluid 2D animation help to create a fantastic dream world that balances the magical with a touch of menace. Tim and the audience ultimately learn that the night doesn't have to be so scary after all.
Nocturna – US Trailer from GKIDS on Vimeo.
Directed by Adrià García, Víctor Maldonado, 2007, Spain / France, 88 min.
In the new animated gem Rocks in My Pockets, Latvian-born artist and filmmaker Signe Baumane tells five fantastical tales based on the courageous women in her family and their battles with madness. With boundless imagination and a twisted sense of humor, she has created daring stories of art, romance, marriage, nature, business, and Eastern European upheaval—all in the fight for her own sanity. Employing a unique, beautifully textured combination of papier-mâché stop-motion and classic hand-drawn animation (with inspiration from Jan Svankmajer and Bill Plympton), Baumane has produced a poignant and often hilarious tale of mystery, mental health, redemption and survival. Winner Of The International Film Critics (fipresci) Prize Karlovy Vary International Film Fest. In English. 2014. USA. 88 mins.
FREE admission for KIDS under 12 years old!!

Screenplay by Chris Columbus ("Home Alone" & "Harry Potter"),
The original Sound Track by the Academy Award-winning Sherman Brothers
In the magical land of dreams and the mystical world of nightmares, there is a place more wondrous than the Seven wondersmore magical than a Magic Carpetand more enchanting than an Enchanted Forest. This place is the world of a child's dream where anything and everything is possible. Where time is timeless, and where imagination has no boundaries. Welcome to the dream world of Little Nemo.
On one unforgettable night, Nemo falls asleep and enters into his dreamworld and with the help of his new found friend, Professor Genius, and Nemos flying pet squirrel Icarus, they all journey together into Slumberland,a beautiful utopia where all its people live in perfect harmony together. Nemo is lovingly embraced by the people and especially the King of Slumberland who adopts Nemo and makes him heir apparent to the throne. He also entrusts Nemo with a special key that Nemo has been given strict instructions not to unlock the door in which this key belongs to. He is also given a most prized possession of the King, the Royal Scepter. Along the way, Nemo is befriended by Flip who becomes Nemo's mischief making sidekick and as curiosity would have it he convinces Nemo to unlock the door only to discover that he has now unleashed a horrific demon over Slumberland…

NIPPON NIGHTS is monthly series of Japanese cinema bridging different genres, styles and generations. In the 2nd season of the series, we introduce Japanese cinema themed with Music.
I heard Mizue is making animation. How exciting! I can't wait to see!!
—Darren Aronofsky (Black Swan)
Internationally Noteworthy, Japanese Animation Creator : Mirai Mizue! His works have been screened and judged at many international film festivals and he continues to forge the future of the Japanese independent animation scene. Since 2002, he has been creating abstract animations, known as his 'cell animations', in which cell structures form the central motif.
In 2011, Modern No.2 was nominated to the Orizzonti section at the Venice Film Festival and to the Spectrum section at the Rotterdam International Film Festival, enthralling audiences with its vivid colors and dynamic, delicate movements synchronized with music. In 2012, Modern No.2 won the SACEM Award for Original Music Prize at the Annecy International Animated Film Festival, the world's biggest animation festival. With his vast experience and boundless energy, Mizue is in his prime as a filmmaker.
In "WONDER FULL!!", a film that Mirai selected and joined some films from his works himself will be screened.
Director's statements
Getting this pleasant opportunity to show many of my films first time, I take into account of the order, music and screen size of my works since 2003 to make those like one long-animation film. I believe it will help you to enjoy and understand all films naturally and smoothly.
(As life and death is never-ending and have existed since extremely long time ago, it is probably just one tiny piece what I can feel.)
Our body is composed of over 60 trillion cells. Surprisingly, it is way much more than the number of all stars in the solar system. Needless to say, each of our cells is alive and both life and death take place for each cell again and again and again until our lives will end. The world is always full of WONDER.
If you feel wonder, miracle, surprise, and a mass of happiness through my masterpiece, I am very much satisfied.
■Modern No. 2 –We went for it without any hesitation. We've formed the world at a quickening pace. What on earth is this world that we have created?
■JAM– The sound is piled up. The image is piled up as well. Before long, the screen becomes chaotic.
■Minamo– Made by a frame-by-frame shooting of ink streaming on the surface of water.
■FANTASTIC CELL– This animation is Mirai Mizue's debut film.vThe birth of 'cell animations'.
■METROPOLIS– This film was requested from the Seoul International Cartoon And Animation Festival, and produced for the appeal of Seoul City, South Korea.
■TATAMP– Each living object has its own sound.a Thus the sounds varied when there are more living objects. It becomes chaotic, and at the same time, melodic.
■TRIP! TRAP!– An expression of a chaotic world. A mixture of different techniques.Graduation film.
■MODERN– The hexahedron keeps changing shape. Besides, anything doesn't happen.
■LOST UTOPIA– The tale of the Biblical Adam and Eve is used as the motif in this anthropomorphic phantasmagoria of animated images.
■DEVOUR DINNE– Various dinners made with different living things…
■Adamski– A subjective view of an UFO. Shot frame-by-frame along the Tama River.
■Playground– An improvisation that combines several images: the innocent world-view of a child, the continuousness of life, order and chaos, unity and division and the real streaming world.
■AND AND– It is born. It dies. They repeat. The mandala of a life. Hypnotic patterns by Mirai Mizue for Toru Matsumoto's And And.
Mirai Mizue Director/Animator
He was born in Tokyo, 1981. People around him was surprised by his drawing a perfect circle when he was three. He started making animation by himself when someone told him that his illustrations looked like it was moving in his study at the Department of Graphic Design, Tama Art University.
His high quality pictures that he drew by hand on paper and his method to make animation by computer with scanning all papers with his original drawings attract people beyond the border or stereotyped animation.
His first work "FANTASTIC CELL"(2003) debuted on the world stage after received recommendation of the jury at Japan Media Arts Festival.
The short animated films he made has been always beloved around the world.
His graduation film "LOST UTOPIA"(2007) has screened over eighty film festivals in the world.
In 2011, "MODEERN NO.2″ was screened in the Orizzonti section of the Venice International Film Festival,
and he became the first Japanese who received SACEM Award(an award for best music)
at Annecy International Animation Film Festival in the next year.

This is not an Oh my God did you see that? kind of wow. Its more of an Oh my God, I must have missed something from here it looked like a whole lot of nothing!
I want to just head right to the end of these final 24 hours dvd seasontwo hours (which appeared to end five minutes too soon or was that due to the timing of the commercials?) and wallow in disappointment. Even now its hard to admit my frustration. When I heard my peers and other fans express their dissatisfaction with this season six earlier on I kept quiet. I enjoyed watching each hour tick by, usually intrigued by the conflicts, and amused by the inconsistencies.
And speaking of inconsistencies, Ive always poked a lot of fun at the show, but with a familial protectiveness; much like the big sister who is merciless with her goofy little brother until outside forces try to interfere, then the older sister becomes the fierce protector. I could make fun of 24 hours dvds season; I did it from a loving place, if you will.
I had the right.
Now, Im not abandoning the show at all. Ill follow all press releases, news, and fan sites from now until season seven. But now 24 hours dvd seasons I dont see the point in holding back my surprised displeasure with this much-touted season finale. But Ill get to that after discussing some of the last two hours not in any particular order.
Daniels and Subarov evidently have offices right next door to each other. Why else would they have the same sunlight coming in their windows? The only explanation that comes close to being satisfying is that we must assume that the 4:00 hour is Pacific Time. And the outdoor footage there is still in appropriate darkness. Therefore 24 hours dvd box set it has to be approximately 7:00 AM at the White House. But that doesnt jive with the previous episode, which occurred between 3:00 and 4:00 AM (Pacific) and between 6:00 and 7:00 AM (Eastern). If you recall, in the scenes with Lisa under surveillance at Bishops apartment, it was quite dark. http://www.dvdsetcollection.com

Head west where the sun sets last and pioneers' dreams came true.
There are zoos, and then there are zoos. The San Diego Zoo at San Diego's 1,200 acre Balboa Park is one of the largest in the world with more than 4,000 animals — among them a rare giant panda and the largest number of koalas outside of Australia. Take a guided tour of the 100 acres, including Tiger River and Polar Bear Plunge, or hop on the Skyfari gondola for a bird's-eye view of the park. The zoo was founded after the 1915 Panama-California Exposition, when many exotic animals were abandonded and, in 1922, it took up permanent residence at Balboa Park. The Safari Park is 32 miles north in Escondido.
Fantastic views await those who visit Glacier Point. At an elevation of 7,214 feet, the point offers amazing views of a Yosemite National Park, including Yosemite Falls and Half Dome. The point can be reached either by car, which can take an hour to go the 30 miles, or by walking the moderately strenuous Four-Mile Trail, which heads up 3,200 feet above Curry Village. The road is closed from November through May or June — and in winter you'll need a pair of skis or snowshoes to see it — but if you time it right, you will be rewarded for your efforts. Try to catch it at sunset.
The Rock. The Island of the Pelicans. Regardless of the label, Alcatraz Island is a haunting and facinating spot in the San Francisco Bay. What started as the oldest operating lighthouse on the West Coast in 1846, was taken by the military in 1858 and, in 1934, became a federal prison that would house such notorious figures as Al Capone, George "Machine Gun" Kelly and Robert Franklin Stroud (the "Birdman of Alcatraz"). The prison, which no one had ever successfully escaped from, closed in 1963 and was declared a historic landmark in 1986. These days, visitors can hop a ferry to the island.
While the whale exhibit was an act of movie fantasy for the 1986 film "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home," there is still plenty to see at the Monterey Bay Aquarium — one of the largest in the world. Located on the site of a former Monterey sardine cannery, the aquarium, which opened in 1984, houses 35,000 plants and animals — including stingrays, jellyfish, sea otters and penguins. Visitors also can watch a diver hand-feed the sharks, fishes and other animals in the Kelp Forest exhibit, the first in the world to grow live California Giant Kelp.
Sci-fi lovers and rock 'n' rollers can unite at the Experience Music Project and Science Fiction Museum and Hall of Fame, located next to the Seattle Space Needle. The Experience Music Project, which opened in 2000, includes a large exhibit on the history of Seattle sound called Northwest Passage, that includes Bing Crosby, Jimi Hendrix, Heart, and Pearl Jam. The Science Fiction Museum, founded in 1996, includes such areas as "Brave New Worlds" and "Them" — and you'll find Captain Kirk's chair from Star Trek and the the Death Star model from Star Wars (the Sci-Fi Hall of Fame moved to Seattle in 2004 from Kansas City).
Santa Monica Bay is a great place for kids to learn how to surf -- the waves rarely get too big and the current isn't as strong as at other Southern California beaches. If your stay is long enough, you might want to sign your child up for a 4-day camp with Santa Monica Surf School, or if your child (or you) just wants to get his feet wet (so to speak), this outfitter gives two-hour lessons all year long. They'll provide the board, wetsuit and instructors who are longtime surfers. You just need to show up on this expansive beach and get ready to dive in.
Get up close and personal with the marine life of the beautiful San Juan Islands on a San Juan Outfitters Sea Kayaking Adventure. All ages and abilities can take part in a three-hour tour, five-hour tour or multiday tour that covers some parts of the 150 islands that make up this area. The company specializes in Family Kayaking, which creates a hands-on wildlife experience where kids 6 and older can hold jellyfish and sea stars; explore a kelp forest; and look for seals, otters, and other creatures of the sea. It all ties into the company's mission: "People have an innate drive to be outdoors, and we enjoy the opportunity make it happen."
If Hawaii was represented by a fruit, it would probably be a pineapple. The state's connection to this sweet tropical plant can be found at the Dole Pineapple Plantation on "The Gathering Place" island of Oahu. It was here in 1901 that the Hawaiian Pineapple Company was founded by James Dole. What started as a fruit stand in the 1950s, opened to the public in 1980 as Hawaii's "Pineapple Experience." In addition to tours, visitors can ride the Pineapple Express, and get lost in The Pineapple Garden Maze — the world's largest — which stretches across two acres and 2.46 miles.
Magic happens everyday in Disneyland, and you never know who is going to join you in a spot of tea at the Mad Tea Party. The attraction, based on the famous scene from Alice in Wonderland, has been entertaining guests since the park opened in 1955. It moved from its location near Sleeping Beauty Castle in 1983, when Fantasyland got a makeover, and now spins guests next to its neighbors: the Storybook Land Canal Boats, Alice in Wonderland and the Matterhorn Bobsleds. Since guests control the spinning on each of the 18 teacups, many have figured out the key to going faster: Have just one person spin at a time.
Astoria is considered to be the oldest American settlement west of the Rockies — it was the region at the Western end of the Lewis&Clark Trail and the two stayed near present-day Astoria during the winter of 1805-1806). Your young explorers will enjoy stretching their legs and getting some fresh air on the four-mile Astoria Riverwalk, a paved, information-filled walkway that borders the Columbia River. Then hop on the Riverfront Trolley or take a ride across the 4.1-mile-long Astoria-Megler Bridge, which was dedicated in 1966 and is the longest three-span truss bridge in the world.

Photographer Spencer Lowell Boards agnès b.'s Innovative Seafaring Research Vessel
Windswept nautical views, choppy seas and cloud-mottled skies mingle elegantly with marine laboratory close-ups in this short documentary from the lauded Los Angeles director and Time magazine photographer Spencer Lowell. Captured over a five-day trip aboard "Tara", the scientific vessel owned by agnès b. company director Étienne Bourgeois, Lowell's images reflect the rhythm of the unknown waters while distilling the advanced work undertaken by the ship's crew and researchers, often assisted by artists and journalists, towards understanding how what lies beneath impacts our lives above. "The most emotional moment was waking up on a Saturday morning and going onto the deck to be surrounded by 360 degrees of water," the filmmaker recalls. "I had never been out where you couldn't see land anywhere. It was completely surreal." Having made expeditions across the seas of Greenland, Antarctica, Patagonia and South Georgia, "Tara"—formerly Sir Peter Blake's "Seamaster"—reveals the surprising yet critical importance of plankton and other micro-aquatic organisms, which generate 50 percent of the oxygen in the atmosphere and consume 75 percent of the carbon dioxide. This is something the designer and culture doyenne agnès b. has paid a key interest in over the past decade. "She believes that the situation today will be the humanitarian crisis of tomorrow," Secretary General and Operations Manager of the Tara Oceans project Romain Troublé says of her involvement. "There is scientific activity around plankton all over the world, but we also look at the environment and its neighbors—something that's rarely, or never, been done on a global scale as we do with Tara."
The Scandinavian Pop Star Takes An Animated Ride in Matthew Donaldson's Film
China's Gothic Pop Star Reveals Her Darkly Romantic New Video
Mixing steely electronic beats with her deep and powerful voice, Chinese chanteuse Laure Shang Wenjie performs a haunting tale of love and war in her new video for Perfect Night, directed by Theo Stanley. Wearing sculptural dresses by local designer Masha Ma, the Shanghai native morphs into an eerie nocturnal creature enveloped in smoke and flames. Shang rose to prominence by winning the third season of China's television singing contest Super Girls, and last year took Music Radio's Best Female Singer award to cement her place as China's pop icon of the moment. Also a fashion muse, Shang has modeled for L'Officiel Hommes, regularly attends couture shows around the world, and works with emerging Chinese designers, such as Central Saint Martins graduate Ma. "The white and black forms worked well for the composite effects, and provided a canvas for the prismatic color projections," says Stanley of Ma's creations. "I developed a visual treatment which focused on a combined language of prisms, crystals, smoke and fire elements." The track is taken from Shang's forthcoming album Ode to the Doom, on which the 29-year-old explores spirituality, love and death, inspired by goth subcultures and the macabre romance of Alexander McQueen. Here the singer shares her preferences for mohair, Katy Perry and Alexander Wang.

Stocks extend losses after jobless claims tick higher
Applications for unemployment insurance rise unexpectedly. Sales of new homes climb. Weak economic reports out of Europe and China overshadow hopes for more Fed stimulus. HP's shares slip after its revenue misses forecasts.
Updated 11:55 a.m. ET
Stocks fell Thursday after applications for U.S. jobless claims unexpectedly ticked up last week. Also, disappointing economic data out of China and Europe pointed to stalling global growth, while hopes of a swift stimulus action by the Federal Reserve dimmed. Hewlett-Packard's (HPQ) shares plunged after the company missed revenue estimates Wednesday.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average ($INDU) was down 86 points at 13,087. The S&P 500 ($INX) was down 7 points at 1,406. The Nasdaq Composite ($COMPX) was down 12 points at 3,061.
Applications for U.S. jobless benefits rose slightly last week, the Labor Department reported Thursday. Initial jobless claims increased by 4,000 to a seasonally adjusted 372,000 in the week ended Aug. 18. That's the highest level in five weeks and above the 365,000 level economists had expected, according to Briefing.com. The Labor Department revised the prior week's number to 368,000 from 366,000.
U.S. factory activity edged up to 51.9 in August from 51.3 in July, the first monthly increase in five months, according to Markit's flash manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index.
Housing data not enough to boost stocks
Sales of new single-family homes climbed by 3.6% to an annual rate of 372,000 in July from 359,000 in June, the Commerce Department said Thursday, surpassing economists' estimates of 368,000, according to Briefing.com. The Department also revised June sales up from an original reading of 350,000. The July increase is the third in four months.
Prices of new homes, however, fell 2.1% in July from the previous month to a median price of $224,200 as the inventory of new homes on the market fell 0.7% to a record low of 142,000 in July. At July's sales pace, it would take 4.6 months to clear the houses from the market, down from 4.8 months in June.

Fed minutes provide hope
Wednesday afternoon, the Federal Reserve released the minutes from its latest Federal Open Market Committee meeting. The minutes showed readiness among many policymakers to further boost stimulus -- possibly by another round of bond buying -- unless they see "substantial" signs the economy is poised to rebound.
U.S. stocks trimmed losses Wednesday after the minutes to close mixed. While gold rose to a 16-week high, the dollar fell to a two-month low. The euro rose to a seven-week high against the dollar. Oil also rose on stimulus hopes.
On Thursday, however, investors hopes for a swift action dimmed somewhat after certain Fed members pointed to improving U.S. economic data recently.
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke is set to speak at a symposium in Jackson Hole, Wyo., on Aug. 31. Many economists expect Bernanke to announced stimulus then, or at least provide even more clarification.
Data out of China and Europe cause concern
China's manufacturing may contract at a faster pace in August to the weakest level since November, according to a preliminary reading released by HSBC, signaling more monetary and fiscal stimulus may be needed to secure a second-half growth rebound.
A preliminary composite purchasing managers' index showing private-sector business activity in the eurozone contracted for a seventh consecutive month in August. While the August figures show a slight improvement, together the recent readings point to a contraction in GDP in the eurozone.
St. Louis Federal Reserve President James Bullard, in a CNBC interview Thursday, voiced his skepticism over the outlook for the eurozone and warned that the best hope might be for the region to just "muddle through" its sovereign debt crisis.
Greece problems still loom overhead
Meetings over the next few days involving German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois Hollande are also in the headlines. The two leaders are expected to present a united front, telling Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras not to expect any leeway on its bailout agreement unless it sticks to its terms.
Stocks to watch
Dow component Hewlett-Packard's (HPQ) shares slipped after the computer maker reported better-than-expected adjusted earnings but missed on revenue. Deutsche Bank analysts slashed their price target to $15 a share from $20 and reiterated their "sell" rating.
Big Lots (BIG) shares plunged Thursday after the retailer reported declining profits that also missed analyst expectations on higher costs and a loss at its Canadian operations. The retailer also cut its full-year adjusted earnings forecast.
Best Buy (BBY) shares rose after Bloomberg reported the electronics retailer has restarted talks with founder Richard Schulze about conducting due diligence as part of his effort to buy the company.
Shares of steel companies AK Steel (AKS), Steel Dynamics (STLD), Nucor (NUE) and U.S. Steel (X), among others, dropped after Dahlman Rose downgraded the sector because analysts believe steel prices are at their peek.
- More analyst call here.
Hormel Foods (HRL) said fiscal-third-quarter earnings rose 13%, meeting analyst expectations, as all of the food processor's segments saw increased profits, the Dow Jones reported.
General Motors' (GM) German unit, Opel, agreed with labor representatives to cut the hours of several thousand workers at two of its four German plants in response to a drop in demand for cars in Europe, Reuters reported. GM lost $747 million on its European operations last year.
is looking for work."
The German doctor comments: "That's nothing, in Germany we take part of the
brain out of a person; we put it into another person's head, and in 4 weeks
he is looking for work."
A Russian doctor says: "That's nothing either. In Russia we take out half of
the heart from a person; we put it into another person's chest, and in 2
weeks he is looking for work."
The U.S. doctor answers immediately: "That's nothing my colleagues, you are
way behind us....in the USA , about 3 and a half years ago, we grabbed a
person from Chicago with no brain and transplanted him in the White House ,
and immediately after....... the whole damn country was looking for work."
Jobless claims tick up unexpectedly.
Unexpectedly..........oh........ so you libs thought we were in a recovery again. Get your heads out of sand and try listening/reading to someone else besides the bs your party is feeding you. How many times can you actually get screwed before you realize you are getting screwed.
The illusion of the American free market - there is in fact no free market in the USA folks. A free market does not have 2 sets of workers (legal and illegal) working for 2 sets of wages. A free market does not have subsities for certain types of businesses (oil companies, farmers, ethanol) nor does it have special tax breaks for them. It would also not have medicare subsities either. It would not have different business rules from state to state nor would it have tarifs on imports. The problem is most countrys do not have anything close to the free market yet America continues to suffer as it opens it's markets when others keep theirs closed or impose BS conditions (looking at you China). Free trade really only works between countrys with similar living standards, USA, Canada, Western Europe, Japan & Australlia could have pure free trade agreements as wage costs are not that far off in each country. Poorer countries benefit 10 times as much as rich countrys in these agreements yet Mexico is part of NAFTA. Anyone else think we need a reset button?
All this bad news and guess what? Oil is still climbing. It's a good thing the job market didn't UNEXPEDEDLY get better or we would be paying 10 dollars a gallon for gas. I would love to meet the clowns on Wall Street face to face one time. Why can't everyone see what is killing the economy? GAS GAS GAS!!!!!! Drop the price of gas and food and promise to keep it down and watch the economy explode you freakin dummies!! The sad part is our so called government lets these people get by with the same ole stupid a@@ excuses over and over again to raise the prices. I wish they would grow a set of balls and stand up to these people for once. I am a firm believer that the government is behind all of it anyway. The whole damn country is crooked.
1. You didn't build that business!!!
2. The private sector (job market) is doing just fine!!!
Let's cut out the nonsense on women's rights (not the real issue but a diversion) and about people not paying enough taxes and talk about the real issues.
If you are married, have 2 kids, make $100,000 in 2012 and take the standard deduction (do not itemize); you will have a taxable income of $72,900.
Income $100,000
Standard deduction 11,900-
4 x $3,800 deductions 15,200-
Taxable Income $72,900
First $17,400 taxed at 10% = $1,740
Next $53,300 $17,401 to $70,700 taxed at 15%= $7,995
Next $2,900 $70,701 to $142,700 taxed at 25% =$ 725
Effective tax rate based on TAXABLE INCOME ($10,460 divided by $72,900 = 14.35%
Effective tax rate based on TOTAL INCOME ($10,460 divided by $100,000 = 10.46%
The 10.46% is your real effective tax rate. If you are not informed, then you will be sucked in to the retherioc. Can you tell me what your actual income tax paid in 2011 was? Or can you just tell me the additional taxes you paid or received as a refund?
Who passes tax legislation? CONGRESS DOES - But these people want to rant and rave about taxpayers taking advantage of the same tax breaks they take and passed into law. It is smoke and mirrors. Both parties use smoke and mirrors - why you must be informed.
Watching DANCING WITH THE STARS, THE BACHELOR, AMERICAN IDOL etc. will not make you an informed person - but rather a gullible uninformed person.
It would be best if that 90% go to some remedial programs for math and English and then learn something useful like a trade or farming.
Forget about the usual junk degrees like undergraduate business degrees, ethnic studies, and now even a course in "Occupy Wall Street" offered at Columbia University.

CHARLOTTE, NC (WTVB) - Three-time Sprint Cup champion Tony Stewart has gone under the knife once again. Stewart had a third surgery on his broken leg Monday in what his team characterized as a "proactive measure." The procedure was to close a wound on his right shin stemming from the injury he suffered on August 5th at Southern Iowa Speedway. The latest surgery is not expected to affect his scheduled return for the start of the 2014 season. This season's Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship continues Saturday night with Chase race number five and the Bank of America 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Lighten Up
I've gotten to talk about my AZ Trail hike with a few scout troops and groups over the past month. The most common question I'm getting is how to lighten a pack for a backpacking trip.
I tell about all the ways I cut out ounces and pounds from gear, staying safe and comfortable and making smart choices. I save the best tip for the end. It costs nothing, saves your body work, and makes a larger impact than all the other gear tweaking you can do.
I reduced my pack weight from around 40 pounds to around 25 pounds by making a light shelter, quilt, and pack, reducing redundancies, and purchasing a few lightweight items. That includes food and water, so carrying less water and stopping more often to fill up water can make your pack even lighter. I removed about 15 pounds from my pack that I didn't have to lug from Mexico to Utah.
During my 6 weeks on the trail, I lost about 14 pounds. Most of that was in the first 2 weeks and then I stabilized as I got used to eating, hiking, and sleeping. Just by losing weight off my body, I nearly reached the weight savings that I got from all the gear tweaking I did!
GoiPlanning a trek with the idea of "This will be a great way for me to lose a few pounds!" is
a good idea. Your body will need calories to function properly on the trail and holding back the food it needs will cause you to be weak and increase the risk of injury. If it's a long trek, you will most likely lose some weight anyway, but that should not be your plan. I lost weight because I did not force myself to eat as many calories as I was burning each day - I should have eaten more.
A better idea is to lose some weight before a trek. For two or three months before your backpacking trip, while you're doing practice hikes and getting physically ready, cut back on the ice cream, hamburgers, soda, chips, and all that other fattening stuff. The increased physical exercise will burn from 100 to 150 calories per mile, depending on your body and pack weight. Since there's about 3500 calories in a pound of fat, you'll need to hike around 350 miles to remove 10 pounds of fat. More than you thought, huh?
That fat won't burn off if you increase your food consumption. "Hey, I hiked 6 miles. I can have a second bratwurst" will stop you from losing any weight. Self-discipline is the key to long-term weight lose - that or a personal trainer.
However you do it, losing weight before starting a backpacking trip or long hike is the best way to reduce the complete package you need to haul over mountains and valleys. Besides, you'll be a better role model and more ready to take on any other challenges that come along.

Early Morning
The sun's just peeking over the horizon for the start of a gorgeous new day. All is quiet in camp except for muffled snoring from some adult tent nearby. No scouts have stirred, no coffee or bacon aroma on the breeze, and no reason to emerge from the warmth and comfort of my sleeping bag. I resist the temptation to roll over and collect another dozen winks before the chaos begins.
Throwing on my fleece and slipping into my camp shoes, I unzip the tent as quietly as possible, which still sounds like an irritated rattlesnake and is sure to wake someone. As I emerge from my safe nylon shelter, the world is fresh and wild before me, unspoiled and unaware of the day ahead. This is the time of day reserved just for me, for me and the wildlife.
Exploring with scouts is one of the most enjoyable ways I can imagine to spend a day, but the style of exploration is different. A dozen or twenty feet clomping through the woods, with or without a handful of voices being exercised, makes for less than ideal wildlife viewing expectations. By the time we would notice them, most animals have long ago fled our invasion. We occasionally encounter a deaf deer or lame rabbit, but that is the rare exception.
Any hope of experiencing the local fauna requires an early rise and solitude. That's why I venture out alone before the camp wakes. I head into the breeze, slow and watchful, with high hopes. My reward may be nothing more than a lost feather on the trail or a set of fresh racoon prints. But, on the other hand, I may catch a trio of turkeys unaware or twin fawns cavorting in a meadow. It's the anticipation and possibility that make the early morning hike such an adventure.
This morning, I'm not with scouts. I'm on vacation
Up North
with my wife. But, I still got out early and enjoyed the sunrise before others at

were out and about. A short walk through the woods rewarded me with plenty of spider webs across my face, some dew-soaked shins and shoes, and loons, ducks, and heron on the lake.
Now, on with the day ahead to share with everyone. I've had my selfish refreshing time with nature and am ready for the motorboats, fishermen, swimmers, bikers, and the rest of humanity out here, like me, getting away from it all.

Blood Needed
The Red Cross is asking for much needed blood donations this summer. Scouts and Scouters that are at least 16 and weigh 110pounds have a great opportunity to do a simple, but valuable, Good Turn by pumping out just a pint of their blood. It's easy, and you even get cookies and juice!
The Red Cross says its blood supply has reached emergency low levels, with 50,000 fewer donations than expected in June. This shortfall leaves about half the readily available blood products on hand today than at this time last year.
Every two seconds in the USA, someone needs a blood transfusion and the Red Cross needs to gather 17,000 pints each day for patients in over 3,000 hospitals across the country.
I've given over 6 gallons of blood, starting in college when the fraternities had a contest each semester to see which could give the most.

BSA Tech
In case you haven't noticed, the Boy Scouts are embracing technology across the board - from merit badges for Robotics, Computers, and Electronics, to Jamboree infrastructure, to the new
In an effort to promote online safety, the BSA has created a Cyber Chip program. Requirements vary by age group but include signing a pledge, watching a video, telling someone else, and talking to your leader. After completing the requirements, a scout can purchase a card and/or patch.
Read BSA page
Troop 479 in Eden Prairie, MN created the Tech Chip a couple years ago to promote proper education on technology use. This addresses personal electronic devices rather than online safety. It includes requirements and a training plan. Units can purchase cards for scouts, which is a small fundraiser for Troop 479.
With the majority of people carrying personal electronics, adult volunteers that simply
scouts from having them is sooo last century. Educating people and setting expectations is really the better way to solve a perceived problem.
Read the
Tech Chip info
for details.
Accepting, integrating, and adapting to change is the right way to keep a program engaging and interesting. Find out from your scouts what technology they'd like to include in their Scouting experience and then help them plan activities that interest them.
Has anyone asked about Robotics merit badge? How about the BlastCars? Or the
STEM/NOVA awards
? A good leader will discover new opportunities for scouts and then let them decide if they want to do them or not.

Since I returned from my AZT hike, I've presented Red Cross CPR/AED and Wilderness First Aid training four times to over 50 people and will be doing it the next two weekends as well. Last week, I presented to the high adventure staff of a local BSA camp. They've got a very busy summer ahead of them and I was glad to see they're taking their responsibility of caring for the youth seriously. That camp is starting an ATV program this summer and were just sending a couple staff to a special training session to get cleared to run the program. I expect it will be popular!
Lots of demand for WRFA training because it's now required for Philmont, SeaBase, Northern Tier, and
highly recommended
for all unit-run treks. I expect The Summit will require it as well. It's a lot of fun to do and I always enjoy meeting more Scouters from the area. It does make for a long weekend, though, since we do a lot of hands-on scenarios.
The Red Cross could use more people presenting this training, so please consider contacting your local chapter about becoming an instructor. It's a great way to make Scouting safer for everyone.

SAR and Kayaking
The BSA announced the new
Search and Rescue merit badge
today at a casino in Nevada. Why there? The 2012 National Search and Rescue Conference is going on there today, so it makes sense. The requirements aren't public yet, but should be available soon.
It sounds like it could be a very fun (and popular) merit badge, possibly combining skills in first aid, navigation, leave no trace, knots, and lifesaving. It should certainly fit nicely in Many Point Scout Camp's
All Things Emergency Response
program this summer.
Kayaking merit badge
has also been announced and is due out on June 13. This is scheduled to cover basic flat-water kayaking skills and safety, leaving whitewater kayaking as part of the
merit badge.
I see it as a good addition to the Canoeing, Motorboating, Rowing, Smallboat Sailing, and Water Sports merit badges.

For more than two decades, Jay Leno has a been a fixture in American homes, a star of "The Tonight Show" and a comedian known for his keen wit and affable style.
He's also known as someone who succeeded in Hollywood but never succumbed to it. He is often on the road, performing at events, and will continue to do that after he leaves the show.
In an interview with WNCN in 2011, he said, "People always go, 'Thank you for coming.' Well, it's really not hard work. I mean, I like to tell jokes. People like to laugh and it seems like a pretty good tradeoff."
Jack Radford, the executive director of the WakeMed Foundation, was impressed in 2011, when Leno visited for the 50th anniversary of the hospital.
"Everybody loved him," Radford said. "Sometimes that can be challenging when you have a comedian, because you're not sure exactly what subject they'll touch on that may offend some of your supporters. Jay was fantastic throughout the whole event."
In fact, Radford said, "Jay made a $10,000 donation to the children's hospital, which is part of our campaign. That was really fantastic. That says a whole lot about him."
Leno has connected to many people through his passion for cars, including Cameron Ingram of Raleigh's Road Scholars, a company that focuses on classic cars.
Ingram met Leno at Pebble Beach in 2011.
"We're showing a car that we restored for the Porsche family - Hans Peter Porsche - and someone tapped my shoulder and I turned around low and behold it's Jay Leno and he wants to do an interview," Ingram said.
What many people don't know, Ingram said, is that Leno is a trained Lamborghini mechanic.
"It's very surreal - it's Jay Leno," Ingram said of talking to Leno. "But, in a way, he's just such an affable guy. He's just so personable. He makes you feel at ease."
While Leno has been famous for decades, he spent many years trying to make a name for himself and playing places like Raleigh's Goodnights Comedy Club. Comedian John Boni, "The Silver Senior," knew him in those days and can recall seeing Leno at the Improv in New York.
Even years later, Boni can remember some jokes he heard Leno tell.
"I remember he said, 'I just read that there was a senseless killing. What other kind of killing is there? Sensible?'" Boni said.
"I thought, 'OK, this guy has a way with words.'"
And a way with comedy. Anyone who has spent any time with Leno knows how polished he can be when it comes to delivering comedy.
"He loves what he's doing," Boni said. "That always seemed to be true, even way back then. He's just terrific at it."
Justin is a reporter for WNCN and a North Carolina native. He has spent the better part of the last decade covering the news in central North Carolina. More>>

Victims of Amherst College's rape cover-ups and the disgusting things said to them
Photographs by Jisoo Lee
Project by It Happens Here — Dana Bolger, Kinjal Patel, Sonum Dixit
I got kicked out of Evergreen in 1994 for anti-administrative graffiti I did because this was the kind of treatment victims were getting THERE, at one of the most liberal and progressive colleges in the country, and the student demands for change in policy and response were being swept under the rug. Awareness was raised and some change happened. But not enough. And this happens in all kinds of institutions.
Keep talking. Keep fighting. Keep opening eyes.

Tips to Energize
By Nora Isaacs
Wish you weren't so tired all the time? Here's how to tap into the ancient science of ayurveda for energizing tips geared specifically for your body type.
My college roommate—thin, quick-minded, and restless—was somewhat of a mystery to me. We lived together for two years, hung out, studied together, but our energy levels—and the way we dealt with fatigue—couldn't have been more different. While I barely functioned if I didn't get my eight hours of sleep, Jen did fine on six. I conserved energy by moving slowly and methodically while she flitted from place to place.
I could never quite understand these differences as an undergrad; I naively thought that if we had the same schedule and habits, we would have the same energy level. But 15 years later, after studying the science of ayurveda, I get it. Despite the similarities that drew us to each other, Jen and I were vastly different—and we needed to find our own ways of rejuvenating in order to feel refreshed.
Jen and I are proof of what ayurvedic thinking is all about: Not everyone is created equal. The ancient science of ayurveda—India's oldest known system of medicine—is based on the idea that life force manifests as three different energies, or doshas. Sometimes called metabolic types or constitutions, these three forces are present not only within us, but they also govern everything in the universe: hours in the day, seasons of the year, and even stages of life (see "Dosha Times" below).
When it comes to boosting energy, ayurveda looks to how we can live in harmony with the greater universe. When we ignore natural law—such as eating food out of season, staying up when our internal rhythms dictate sleep, and pushing ourselves when we need to rest—we disturb the balance between the inner and outer universe, and we become imbalanced. "And it's then—when we break the rules of the rhythms of nature—that we're more vulnerable to fatigue," says John Douillard, DC, PhD, director of LifeSpa Retreat and Rejuvenation Center of Ayurveda in Boulder, Colorado.
So how can we draw from the wellspring of ayurveda's ancient wisdom to stay balanced, vibrant, and energetic? The key is understanding your dosha, so you can tap into a prescription for energy that will work especially well for you. Here's how.
Your Energy RX
The basic principle behind ayurveda is "like increases like." So to maintain energy and balance, you need to gravitate toward the elements unlike those inherent in your constitution. Since you already have those qualities in excess, reducing them can help you find balance. "If you have a vata person, doing a vata activity, in a vata season, you begin to stack qualities," explains Douillard. "And the premise of ayurveda is not to stack." A better idea for a vata, explains Douillard, would be to bring in more elements of pitta and kapha—especially during the fall or winter season and the post-menopausal years, when vata predominates in the environment and the body.

Geeks & Fitness
Recently I have discovered how much I enjoy running. Last year I finished two marathons. My claim to fame is that I finished. I don't like to mention my time. However my second marathon was faster than my first, and I hope to follow that pattern. My enthusiasm has began to rub off on Tim, FuzeCore's Co-Owner and my husband as he is enjoying participating in 5 and 10K's.
One of our Techs, Randil, proved last year that a "computer geek" can run a half marathon, even with little training. Although we don't recommend this for everyone, or anyone. We also have avid bikers (that would be road bikes & mountain bikes, the kind you have to pedal), rock climbers and weight lifters here at FuzeCore. We even have a survivor of a MMA "Cage Fight".
So what does technology and fitness have in common? At a glance, nothing. My goal is to help you see how importance fitness is, even if your life revolves around technogy. How to fit fitness in, and how to use today's technology to make fitness fun, and help you be successful with your goals.
My goal is to get the others here at FuzeCore even more enthusiastic about fitness and hopefully they will share their experiences and tips for training as well.

Does this mean we all have to start running to work? :-)

Why cyclicals will be hot this summer
As the economy improves, investors will look beyond the defensive stocks that found favor earlier in the year.
Cyclicals are starting to look more attractive ahead of the summer months as the economy starts to show signs of improvement, according to analysts.
"There's been a lot of turbulence in the global markets, but the underlying bullish story is still intact," said Thomas Lee, chief U.S. strategist at JPMorgan. "There's a story of wealth effect helping the global consumer, particularly in the U.S., and U.S. housing continues to be strong. [Investors] are still underweight cyclical stocks, so the story of markets being driven by cyclicals is intact."
Attracted by higher dividends and amid skepticism over the economy's health, investors largely favored the safer, defensive sectors the first few months of the year. In the first quarter, health care, consumer staples and utilities were the top three S&P 500 ($INX) sectors. And so far this month, materials, financials and energy have been the biggest laggards, while investors have been continuing to add positions in consumer staples and health care.
Cyclical sectors are closely tied to economic performance, while defensive stocks (noncyclicals) traditionally outperform the market when economic growth slows or during downturns. Some strategists argue that it is harder for the market to sustain its gains when defensive names outperform as it usually signals economic weakness.
On Tuesday, all key S&P sectors retreated (cnbc.com), with investors rattled after the Bank of Japan's latest monetary policy decision and on questions about when the Federal Reserve will slow its bond-buying program. Financials, energy and materials were the worst sector performers, each slumping over 1%.
"There's still a risk aversion in the economy, and that's playing a big role," said Lee, regarding the stronger performance so far in the defensive sectors. "And until people feel there's a lot more evidence of stronger underlying economic growth -- not just in the U.S., but globally -- I think people do like that safety net. For now, we still have a market that people only reluctantly believe."
At the same time, Lee said he is betting on signs of "much better" global growth in the second half.
"Earlier this year, the outperformance of dividend stocks over cyclicals was extreme," Lee said. "One of the more important stories over the next five years is that if we're in a regime shift of rising rates and the U.S. economy strengthening, everyone's going to start focusing on cyclical profit growth, which will favor the cyclical stocks, so I think this may be the start of the shift."
Meanwhile, John Manley said the equity market's rotational pattern in the first four months followed the "classic bull market" stereotype and advised investors to rotate into the cyclical sector as the summer progresses.
"It begins with the Federal Reserve pushing liquidity into the economy to stimulate it. That liquidity flows through the capital markets on the way to the economy," explained Manley. "Before it has any effect on the economy, it tends to lift the early cycle sectors [utilities, staples, health care]. As it reaches the economy, traditionally, the consumer gets the first benefit and the consumer cyclicals sector rotates into favor."
