Bears on Bath Salts? Two Beastie Boys Brawl on a Florida Lawn, Caught on Camera
Bears are growing bolder and bolder of late. Last year they started awakening earlier than normal from hibernation in Montana and Colorado. Elsewhere last summer a Xaxli'p First Nation elder was mauled to death by a bear in British Columbia, Canada, and just this month a bear was euthanized after snacking on the remains of a convicted murderer, also in British Columbia.
These two bears were caught on camera duking it out on a suburban front lawn, of all places. The first clip is the raw footage of the battle, including a sequence when they're behind the bushes, doing who knows what. Underneath is a news report containing interviews with neighbors and some perspective from a bear expert, as well as a look at the damage that the battling beasts left behind—fur, blood, giant paw prints and some trashed shrubbery.

Info: Deep house in all his variety, from being airy, fluffy, substantial, pushy or cracking to the elegance of indie pop, all in here: bodacious and groovy remixes by Daniel Stefanik, Osunlade, Jacob Korn or Klinke Auf Cinch.
Marbert Rocel, the East German indie pop'n'jazz sensation and live band just brought their third album "Small Hours" to life, capturing a deep sense for beats, smoking, songs, indie pop trips including leftfield house- and jazzy affairs. As Groove magazine wrote "…an album finally progressed their own stunning charm into a higher sphere of danceable indie pop". Well, it's true, Marbert Rocel music is light and sunny, but they working hard with patience, belief, a lot of cigarettes, and dozens of live gigs around Europe, to spread their charm with passion and a wicked glints in their eyes. There is this lack of pretention in their music which everybody loves, actually people from the techno, soul, jazz or pop worlds even all seems to be convinced.
Now we are embarking with the first remix package of their third album:
Starting with Daniel Stefanik propeller tech tune, a monster of the month. Over the last years, he produced a lot of different records on diverse labels: Kann, Freude am Tanzen, Cocoon Records or Cargo Edition. And don´t forget his numerous remixes with the completely special "Stefanik-Style". 2009 he united with Sven Tasnadi and Stefan Schultz (Juno6) to provide their home base Leipzig, and to create the Label: Oh Yeah Records. Daniel is currently working on his second album, which will be released on Cocoon Records in 2012.
Secondly, Jacob Korn from Leipzig recently approved his seductive feel of deep house again and again. So if you take look to his career and followe his releases and remixes, you can't deny that he is one of the men of 2012.
Osunlade is one of those established entrepreneurs and deep house dons who won`t need any further introduction. His "Envision" track went straight into nearly all "best of "-top ten of 2011. He was really digging Marbert Rocel's productions, so he came up with compliments, roses and this awesome groovy remix. Available as an instrumental version on vinyl while the vocal version is available as download.
Last but not least Klinke Auf Cinch, a collective consisting of Clemens Kynast and Lutz Hartmann from Jena, Germany, who are living close to that place, where Marbert Rocel are smoking. They deliver an aromatic airy deephouse tune. Together they produce a mixture between slower house, faster jazz, reduced pop and harmonised minimal. On their live performances, they always surprise with changing vocalists, gifted soloists and different musicians.
Quotes about Marbert Rocel`s recent album "Small Hours":
Tres cool, Lax Sax is a beauty. Really love the album (…) Wim (Kraak & Smaak)
wow! Really really liking the sound of this LP! Proper songs, interesting production and looking forward to getting into this properly. lovely vocals all making for a great listen. Jimpster

Woody Allen 'presents' this 2000 release of what is probably one of the top five documentaries
of all time, proving he was not kidding when his character Alvy Singer praised it to high
heaven in Annie Hall. It turns out to be a fast 4 hours +, if you break it into its
two parts (The Collapse, The Choice) and watch it over two nights. Some previous knowledge of
WW2 is rather helpful, as the politics of France before and during the war is no simple subject.
Savant has done a tidy amount of research on the German Occupation of Paris but could
have used more; The Sorrow and the Pity will continue to be great because it is a definitive
document of an agonizing time, not because it simplifies complex issues or tries to 'entertain' an audience.
A documentary chronicle in two feature-length parts, of the German occupation of France as seen
through the eyes of the participants. It claims to focus on the small town (near the hated Vichy
collaborationist capital) Clermont-Ferrand, but substantial parts of the show focus on events in
Paris and the collaboration capital, Vichy. Interviews are taken with French, English, and German participants in the events; most are
candid but a few seem to be trying hard to put a positive spin on their sometimes questionable
attitudes and behaviors. The singer (and accused collaborator) Maurice Chevalier provides infrequent
'soundtrack' songs, and is used as an ironic capper to this long, but engrossing examination of the
human character under political stress.
Wasting no time with style or elegance, Marcel Ophuls' docu camera records the testimony of several
dozen first-person participants of the Occupation years, and spends enough time with each
interviewee for us to decide for ourselves to what extent they are telling the truth, or
embellishing the facts. Are they avoiding unpleasant subjects from denial of guilt, or
knowing culpability?
There aren't any heroes per se. The Resistance Leader acknowledges that
he was barely in control of anything and doubted the wisdom of those who followed him. The
farmer socialists who did the fighting admit that instead of being treated like heroes after the
war, they felt cast out as unstable roughnecks. There are several distasteful mentions
of the fact that Frenchwomen
went with German soldiers, but few speakers list their own petty crimes of collaboration.
Some speakers have a handle on the gravity of the subject, and others do not. A dignified lady
states with pride that her patriotic women's league gathered money to plant rose bushes on the
Maginot line to pretty-up the front lines for the soldier. An English masterspy who happened
to be a homosexual calmly tells the
astonishing story of how he worked in a gay club in Paris and had a conflict of conscience from
concealing his identity from his German officer boyfriend! A Frenchman explains in full detail
how he and his friends supported the collaboration to the extent of joining a German SS battalion
and fighting on the Russian front: his 'confession' seems both an expiation of guilt and a personal
attempt to say that decent people made reasonable decisions, that only now after the war can be
seen as traitorous. Lord Avon Anthony Eden makes a good case for not holding the
collaborators too strictly to account for their 'crimes,' explaining that in a civil-war kind of
situation, there's often no choice that can be made that doesn't betray someone.
The closest the film comes to a standard
villain is in the person of a properly plump German businessman, who takes time out at a family
wedding (in front of the bride and groom) to state that the resisting Frenchmen were not considered
partisans (irregular soldiers, to be accorded military rights) because they went about their
'crimes of assassination' without wearing armbands so they could be identified on sight. He puffs a cigar and
still proudly wears small insignia badges of his army service, badges issued by the Nazis.
It's not the Germans that Ophuls and co. wish to indict, but their own countrymen, a brave and thankless
mission that can't possibly have earned them many accolades in France. In the land of French
liberty, patriotism goes hand in hand with the sweeping of bad memories under the carpet, even more so than
here in the states
"I'm not political" is heard more than once by people who still (in 1970 or so) declare their
loyalty to the collaboration government of Laval and Marechal Petain. The message here is
loud and clear, that if we are to hold these people 'responsible' for their poitical
attitudes, mistakes, and crimes, then we have to be ready to be held personally accountable for the
policies of the governments we support, when we passively pretend we're, "not political."
Savant knows people who don't vote because the courts select jurors from registered voters, and
they think they can avoid the inconvenience of jury duty that way. Sheesh.
Ophuls doesn't use his camera to make his interviewees look guilty or to score zinger points - some
of the more shocking things that are said can almost slip by if one is not paying attention.
For a documentarian who clearly is opening old wounds (I'm sure Frenchmen still argue the Dreyfuss
case) he is uncommonly fair. And he has the screen time to do the job. Those arguing
that the picture is just too long might do well to ponder the fact that the new James Bond Special
editions feature an average of five hours of talk - about a single frivolous movie! Taking
the proper screen time to lay down these historically priceless reminiscences of one of the 20th
Century's most tragic chapters, is not an indulgence.
Image Entertainment's DVD of The Sorrow and the Pity is a fine disc, with sound and picture
quality the equal or better than the original prints. It has no extras, which is a shame,
but the fact that it is out there at all cannot be sniffed at. A bibiliography would help,
but Savant can vouch that any good-sized library has a long shelf of books on the subject for those
who would like to be better acquainted with the facts. In this case it would help, as the
political fine points of issues are not presented. Talk about the 'occupied' and 'unoccupied'
zones, and the tangle of opinions about the French Navy's being attacked by the British are
impossible to understand without more information. Hopefully, the kind of people who can
read forever about subjects like the American Civil War, will be inspired to dig into this
absorbing subject.
Maurice Chevalier is featured prominently in the documentary. He's the grinning boulevardier
singer, who with most entertainers in Paris, weathered the occupation living a high life with the
German occupiers, while the non - V.I.P. population lost an average of 25 pounds each due to
malnutrition. Some of his songs provide infrequent background for archival footage. The
picture ends with a newsreel of him, grinning like a baby, claiming he was not a collaborator. The
charges against him that he was one were false, you see, because he never went to Germany to
perform singing engagements for the Nazis, not once! He did go to sing for French P.O.W.'s
in their camps, and that was it! Honest, you can believe Maurice! He's just a singing,
non-political carefee guy! After all the sincere testimony from citizens, important and
humble, Chevalier's image-mending comes off as particularly heinous. This must be the
'pretty, Guilty world' that Orson Welles spoke of in The Lady from Shanghai.
Chevalier then goes on to associate himself with the Americans, singing his debut song from
Paramount on Parade (1930), which has the the jaunty lyric, "I'll be making Rain - bows,
sweeping the clouds away.' The Sorrow and the Pity make a better case for dragging those
clouds back and taking a good hard look at them.
On a scale of Excellent, Good, Fair, and Poor,
The Sorrow and the Pity rates:
Movie: Excellent
Video: Good
Sound: Good
Supplements: American Trailer
Packaging: Double Keep case

1. The papers right now are working over the issue of Vietnam atrocities
again, because a prominent Congressman has admitted to having been present when a number of Viet
civilians were killed, "Because we thought they were V.C." In typical Bush-ian dissemblance,
the article quotes incompatible testimony claiming that women and children were massacred in
cold blood, but nobody is upset. Today's LA Times has an article entitled something like
"War Memories Are Wounds That Veterans Carry All Their Life," thereby doing the usual job of
switching sympathies from Victim to Wrongdoer, so that newspaper readers aren't unduly disturbed by reality. Return

Sometimes winter leaves me shaking my head. As it sets in, it can really leach the world of colour. I don't mean that things aren't all bright and colourful, I just mean that the colours that are there, are sometimes too weak and pathetic. The greens of the leaves left on the trees are insipid and dull.
I went walking on the beach with the dog this morning, and the sky was like a sick child with no colour in it's face.
Winter has only just started, and already I'm waiting for spring.
1. DELANCEY – Molly Wizenberg.
I've been waiting for Delancey to come out. Molly has been talking about it on her blog and I was getting excited along with her as the release date neared. As I turned it's pages I kinda felt like I had already read though, such is the peril of using material from your blog to put into a book. Luckily, I like the blog.
2. THIS IS WHERE I LEAVE YOU – Jonathan Tropper
I honestly only picked this up because I saw the trailer for the movie, and had just finished Delancey and had nothing else to read. This Tropper fella knows how to write a book that'll get picked up and turned into a film. Read it, and you'll get what I mean.
3. HATESHIP, FRIENDSHIP, COURTSHIP, LOVESHIP, MARRIAGE – Alice Munro
"Oh for christsake!" This was my out loud reaction when I saw that Alice Munro's short story had been made into a film. Not because i was worried that a film wouldn't do the story justice or any of those sorts of reasons. No no, I just hadn't gotten around to bloody reading it yet, despite it being on my 'to read' list for the better part of a decade. I'd be damned if the movie came out before I got the chance! Downloaded it. Read it. Bang. Done.
I was in Miss Leo's year 7 music class. We had to colour in the different sections of the orchestra. Yellow for stings, red for brass, you get the picture. I'm not sure how seriously I was taking the task, or perhaps it was just because I was an asshole of a 13 year old, but my colouring technique was most certainly sub-par. When I went up to show Miss Leo, with my lines going this way and that (everyone knows you should keep it all in the same direction), and nothing really contained within the areas they were supposed to be (basic rule of colouring 101- stay within the lines) , she was less than impressed. "Meaghan, your colouring looks like a monkey did it," she said, holding it far away from her face as she could. I had to stay in and colour it in again.
I revisited the art form last year, this time taking it a little more seriously than I did in high school. Life was particularly tough, my energy levels were somewhere between low and non-existent, and I had hours upon hours of wintery nights to fill. Normal night time activities such as reading or watching TV were of no interest to me, and to be honest, probably beyond my thinking and concerntration too. But colouring in I could do, so colouring in I did!
And now apparently French women have taken up the sport. Well, if the French are doing it! (Article here about French women using colouring in to "reduce stress and ease neuroses". )
Mandalas were a particular favourite to colour. But I wasn't really picky on such matters. I coloured in Pixar Cars pictures, toucans, Ryan Gosling…
(I Love Mel has a whole host of awesome colouring books, including a Ryan Gosling one which is where the image above is from. Check out the one especially for the Gingers.)
I found heaps, HEAPS, of colouring in pictures on google and Pinterest. Just so you know, if you google "colouring in pages for adults" you actually don't get smut. I was very wary the first time I typed that one in.
I can vouch for the activity (and for the French women). Colouring in really does help to reduce stress and ease neuroses. The gentle scratching of my texta back and forth, back and forth was calming. Being able to sit up at the kitchen table after dinner with the kids and all of us do it, was a bonus. I urge you to give it a try.
And like all these sorts of things, there's already someone out there doing an incredible job at it. I discovered the work of UK artist Nikki Farquharson and was pretty amazed at what she can do with a set of textas. The photo below is a little glimpse of her work. Phwoar.
My phone has been dying a very slow, very elaborate and very painful death. Just when I think it's finally cactus, it would spring back to life. Do you remember the death of PeeWee in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie? (If not, follow this link to be reminded. Champagne cinema.) My phone has been doing that. All that's been missing is me playing the violin.
This week enough was enough and I decided to be proactive and euthanise rather than waiting for natural causes to get it. The sim card was removed, battery turned off, and my old trusty phone was placed quietly in the dark back corner of my desk draw. The final resting place for a phone that's been with me for four years.
Before that (melo)dramatic end though, I downloaded all the photos from the phone. All 4,000 or so of them. (No wonder the phone had been chugging along at a snail's pace. That's a lot of nostalgia to carry around.) Going back and looking through all the photos has been lovely. I'd forgotten so much! Like the gold fish we had, to the flat hair Ryan sported before his curls, and the obsession with taking his own photo that Miles had when he was three. The plants in the backward have grown so much, and so has my hair. Trips to the beach, afternoon treats on the way home from kinder, snuggles on the couch. There's photos of all of these tiny, seemingly incidental, moments that have made up our last four years. Put them all together and they're something quite special.
I've chosen my favourites, and you can see more after the jump. Including my vast array of outrageous sunglasses over the years. Bright tangerine? What was I thinking?

Four years ago Ellis Holtom, of Stratford-upon-Avon, was born with half a working heart. Later, the Herald featured his condition as a tribute to the work of Birmingham Children's Hospital where he was treated. Now, to mark Congenital Heart Defect Week his mum, Vicki, updates his story. . .
ALL 326 local planning authorities in England, councils like Stratford-on-Avon District, need a local plan. The core strategy is a component of that local plan. It contains all the local district wide policies that need to be considered when processing planning applications. New development needs to satisfy local needs, helping to realise the hopes and ambitions of its communities and protect them from situations they fear. New homes and places to work should provide then with a healthy lifestyle, a pleasant place to live, good recreational facilities and above all the infrastructure that enhances their quality of life. The buzzword to describe this is 'sustainable'.
THE poor are paying more than they should be for their energy, according to damning new evidence from Stratford-upon-Avon's Citizens Advice Bureau. Prepayment meters (PPMs) are costing users in fuel poverty a "disproportionate amount" for what little gas and electricity they can afford, the bureau has found. There are around 7.2 million people on prepayment meters in the UK and several thousand in the district of Stratford. Despite Stratford's reputation as an affluent area, the bureau is being forced to come to the aid of more and more people living in fuel poverty on an increasingly regular basis.
AN OFFICIAL paving stone commemorating Stratford-upon-Avon's forgotten war hero for the 100th anniversary of the First World War will be placed in the town, the government has confirmed. Rex Warneford – the first man to single-handedly shoot down a zeppelin - was ignored in the government's initial plans to recognise Victoria Cross winners because he was born abroad in India. The Herald launched a campaign, together with King Edward VI school, where Rex lived and studied for five years, to get the fighter pilot recognised.
A VAN driver from Stratford-upon-Avon accused of picking up a prostitute and driving her to an isolated location where he is alleged to have then raped her has been remanded in custody.
Adrian Terence Watts faces two charges of rape, one of attempted rape, one of assault and one of false imprisonment in his works van following the incident on 1st May.
Watts, aged 48, of Hodgson Road, was remanded in custody when Warwickshire magistrates in Leamington sent his case to be tried at Warwick Crown Court.
It was said the case involved the alleged rape and attempted rape of a prostitute from Coventry and assaulting her before dumping her at the side of the road on the A46 near Stratford.
During a bail application in Watts's absence at the crown court, his barrister Andrew Tucker said: "The defence he would raise in this matter is one of consent."
And he argued: "Like everybody, he has a right to bail. He has a secure address to which he can return; that is his parents. I would invite Your Honour to allow him his bail."
But prosecutor Rhydian James opposed the application, pointing out that the allegations were "very grave and serious."
Refusing bail, Judge Alan Parker described the alleged victim as a sex worker, not a prostitute.
He said the case involved the question of whether he raped her twice and attempted to rape her a third time, or whether she has made an entirely false allegation against him."
And he ordered that Watts should be remanded in custody until a plea and case management hearing.

you don't get your pudding if you don't eat your meat
Does anybody remember the late night NBC talk show Later?
It used be on after Late Night with David Letterman when he was on NBC, in the days before Last Call with Carson Daly. Bob Costas was the first host. Then Greg Kinnear took over after his Talk Soup gig. Then he decided a film career would be more lucrative than a show that airs at 1:30am that hardly anyone watches. The show then kind of had a revolving door of hosts, mostly stand-up comedians.
Matt and I were discussing how, since Arsenio Hall, there were no current black hosts of late night talk shows. Matt then sang "The Later host's black" to the tune of Queensryche's "The Lady Wore Black". I don't remember who it was at the time, but in doing a little research, I've come to the conclusion that it was probably Cynthia Garrett.
This is one of my favorite songspeaks of all time. It caused us to include this song on one of the very first Songspeak's Greatest Hits mixtapes.
Poltically correct? Maybe not.
Awesome original songspeak? Absolutely.
Bob Costas would be proud.

John McCain was supposed to appear as a guest on The Late Show with David Letterman last night. However, because of the economic crisis this country is suffering (due to the absolute joke that is the Bush administration), McCain felt it necessary to cancel his appearance at the last minute.
This didn't sit too well with David Letterman, and he railed on John McCain like there was no tomorrow. He chided him for suspending his campaign, he criticized him for not having Sarah Palin take his place while he took care of business in Washington, DC. He even showed live footage of McCain being interviewed by Katie Couric, while he was supposed to be on his way back to Washington. Letterman and Keith Olbermann hammed it up while watching the footage.
Take a look at the tongue lashing Letterman unleashed last night:

Soul Food
If there's one thing we love about the new generation of videogames it's that, while they can push things in ways we've never seen before -- be it visually, aurally or in terms of gameplay -- they've also sparked a renewed interest in old-school genres and styles. This could explain why there's as much buzz in anticipation of Soulcalibur IV as there is for such envelope-pushing games as Spore and Prototype, though it could just be because it looks like it's going to be a kick-ass fighting game. While fans of this series would probably just be happy if the developers only upgraded the graphics and nothing more, according to Namco Bandai's Katsutoshi Sasaki, the game's director, Soulcalibur IV does more than just answer all the unanswered questions from the first three games.
Crispy Gamer: What are the big new additions to the series this time around in terms of characters, story, gameplay, etc.?
Katsutoshi Sasaki: There are several new features in the series. We've expanded our character lineup to include several new faces, including Hilde, who wields a short sword and spear, Scheherazade and Angol Fear, who are two bonus characters created specifically for the game by famous manga artists and character designers, and, of course, Star Wars icons Darth Vader and Yoda. In terms of gameplay, not only are we bringing Soulcalibur to the HD era, but now players will be able to go online for the first time in the history of the series. There's also environmental and equipment destruction, and players will be able to perform Critical Finish moves.
Crispy Gamer: Let's start with the online modes. First off, what are they and how do they work?
Sasaki: We're actually really excited to bring online gameplay to the Soulcalibur franchise for the first time. The online versus battle will allow you to battle one-on-one and give you the opportunity to climb up the worldwide leaderboards against others. You can also take your customized Soulcalibur character online as well.
Crispy Gamer: How hard was it to get them to work well?
Sasaki: We are still in the process of developing the online component, so I really can't say at the moment. There are always challenges when creating a game, regardless if it has online gameplay or not, and the Soulcalibur team is always striving for perfection.
Crispy Gamer: Will there be any arenas that will either be unavailable or only available in the online matches?
Sasaki: I'm unable to comment at this time, but please stay tuned.
Crispy Gamer: IV is the first game in the series for next-gen consoles. Besides better graphics and online options, what else did all that extra power afford you?
Sasaki: I feel the gameplay and battle system will really shine. You'll get an exhilarating and tense feeling playing the different characters, especially when they perform their Critical Finish moves.
Crispy Gamer: You're also, as you mention, adding some new characters. What do they bring to the game?
Sasaki: Adding new characters, I think, will add a new level of excitement for the player as each one has their own fighting style and motives.
Crispy Gamer: The series has a tradition of bringing in guest stars from other worlds, and this time you've got Yoda and Darth Vader from Star Wars. How did that happen?
Sasaki: With Soulcalibur II, we got a pretty favorable response when we included a guest character. In III, everyone seemed excited about the character creation mode. So for Soulcalibur IV, we're trying to do a little bit of both. Since IV is the first Soulcalibur game for the next-gen consoles, and the franchise itself is such a huge entertainment product, what's a bigger entertainment property than Star Wars?
Crispy Gamer: Vader is exclusive to the PlayStation 3 and Yoda is exclusive to the Xbox 360. Is this a subtle editorial comment about how you feel about these systems or was it simply an aesthetic choice?
Sasaki: The decision was solely based on aesthetics.
Crispy Gamer: Did you get Frank Oz and James Earl Jones to do their respective voices?
Sasaki: We are using voice actors that are recommended by LucasArts.
Crispy Gamer: Who decided it would be those two and not, say Darth Maul and Mace Windu? Were Yoda and Vader your first choices?
Sasaki: For us, it was Yoda and Vader from the start. It just made the most sense.
Crispy Gamer: Does the game also feature any Star Wars-themed arenas?
Sasaki: You will definitely see stages based on Star Wars. I can tell you that the Soulcalibur team and LucasArts have worked closely together at every stage of development.
Crispy Gamer: Has there been any talk of doing a Star Wars-specific Soulcalibur, one where all the Jedi and Sith battle in places like the cantina or on Hoth?
Sasaki: That sounds like a great idea!
Crispy Gamer: Would that even be something you guys would want to do? Or are you so sick of all the Star Wars questions that you now kind of wish you'd never agreed to put Yoda and Vader in the game at all?
Sasaki: It's definitely a great idea, but we are too busy with Soulcalibur IV to even think beyond the current development. I would welcome more people to ask about additional details.
Crispy Gamer: So are there any plans to let 360 players download Darth Vader, and to let PS3 players download Yoda, later on?
Sasaki: Vader and Yoda are exclusive to their respective platforms.
Crispy Gamer: Finally, which game in the Soulcalibur series do you think Soulcalibur IV is the most like? For example, do you feel it's an evolution from III? A throwback to the unadulterated thrill of II?
Sasaki: That's a tough one because all of the games in the series have their good points. I would say that Soulcalibur IV is a good integration of II and III.

I'm just a geeky yet (trying-to-be-)sporty young woman. I love to listen to all kinds of music, read tons of books, draw and meet new people to chat with. I have a weird sense of humour, I usually play games decades after the others and I have many forgotten talents.
Some of the mainstream things I'm a fan of are The Walking Dead (series & comic), Doctor Who, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings (movies & books), Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones (series & books) and The Hunger Games (books & movies).
I've been in Gaia for several years now but I don't know too many people in here. How ever, I have some guilds I'm a regular in and I like doodling and chatting in the Freebies area of the forums. zOmg!

The tactic of disruption is one of the more powerful weapon in the political and community activist arsenal. But like many weapons, it can wear out from overuse or poorly-targeted use.

VNC is pretty resource intensive. It looks like between VNC, firefox, and the rest of your system, you are consuming about 50% of available CPU. Whether or not that is excessive, that is TBD. I run an 8 core E5450 (Penryn CPU) system, and I can consume 50% or more of available processor cycles pretty easily when I am doing video processing, compiling, etc.Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.

Two juveniles were arrested and charged with arson-related offenses, Piringer said.
The damage at Granville Gude Park was minimal; several sections of the slide were burned and melted.
City officials closed the slide and by Monday, someone had posted a printed-out notice that read in part "This is the result of stupid teens in our community, our children don't deserve it."
Lhotsky said it costs around $200 to replace each damaged section of the slide, so costs were not as high as repairing Discovery Community Park's damage and would be around $1,000.
Two fires are similar
The fire at Emancipation Community Park Monday was the third playground fire at a city park in little more than a week.
Several Laurel residents saw the fire and clouds of smoke at the playground in the Grove community and called Laurel Police. When Laurel Volunteer Fire Department units arrived, the playground was "fully engulfed in flames," Piringer said.
After the fire was knocked out, wooden structures at the playground were still standing but plastic parts of the equipment, such as a climbing wall and bright purple slide, were burned off and melted.
Lhotsky estimated the damages to be between $80,000 to $100,000.
Emancipation Community Park is adjacent to the parking lot of Laurel Library and near the former site of the Laurel Grove School, where Laurel's African-American students were enrolled from 1930 until 1962.
The three-acre park is expected to lose about one acre when the library is rebuilt, a project scheduled to begin in October. Plans by the library project's developers, Grimm and Parker architects, include adding an outdoor amphitheater to the park.
While no definite link between the three fires has been established, investigators are seeing similarities between the Discovery Community Park fire and the Emancipation Park fire, Piringer said. Both received significant damage, were set in the afternoon and resulted in the melted plastic and rubber ground coverings.
"But we do believe all three (fires) were set," Piringer said.
Piringer said investigators are also looking into available surveillance video and if there were any witnesses who could provide information.
Laurel Police have beefed up their patrols of all the city parks, and Public Works and Parks and Recreation employees have been instructed to "keep an eye out, too," Piringer said.
And with reward money being offered, residents are encouraged to also keep an eye out.

Forest Whitaker as Idi Amin in The Last King of Scotland
- Other Nominees
·Leonardo DiCaprio as Danny Archer in Blood Diamond
·Ryan Gosling as Dan Dunne in Half Nelson
·Peter O'Toole as Maurice in Venus
·Will Smith as Chris Gardner in The Pursuit of Happyness
Nominated for his first Academy Award, Whitaker won the best actor Oscar for his portrayal of Idi Amin in The Last King of Scotland, beating out box office stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Will Smith. Directed by Kevin Macdonald, the film is an adaptation of Giles Foden's novel about the reign of Ugandan dictator Amin as experienced by his Scottish personal physician. Whitaker brings his usual depth to his portrayal of Amin as a charismatic and seductive but paranoid sociopath and steals the movie with a performance that also earned him a Golden Globe Award for best actor in a drama. Whitaker initially attended college on a football scholarship and moved on to the study of music before earning a diploma in acting from the Berkeley, Calif., branch of the Drama School London. His first substantial film appearance was in Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982), but it was in the role of a young pool player in The Color of Money (1986) that he first gained critical attention. Whitaker's first lead in a film came playing jazz great Charlie Bird Parker in Clint Eastwood's (AAN) Bird (1988). Whitaker is also a director, having made his feature debut with Waiting to Exhale (1995).

FORT MYERS, Fla. - New foreclosure data shows the number of U.S. homes seized by banks declined last month. Overall, national foreclosure trends took a positive turn in April, this is the third consecutive monthly decline. Realtytrac Inc. says home repossessions fell seven percent from March and dropped 26 percent from April of last year.
The number of homes that lenders placed on the foreclosure path fell four percent from March and dipped two percent from April 2011. While the figures suggest foreclosure trends are improving nationally, state data tell a different story. Florida still leads in the most home repossessions because courts are required to sign off on foreclosures. Pending foreclosure cases now have lenders playing catch-up. Foreclosed properties are on the books total 875 in Lee, 333 in Collier and 368 in Charlotte.
For the entire state there are 198,863 foreclosure homes. And $111,000 is the average foreclosure sales price. Meanwhile, banks are increasingly agreeing to short sales rather than foreclosing on homes. In a short sale the bank agrees to accept less than what the seller owes on their mortgage. This could help slow the pace of home repossessions, which are on pace to be just over 700-thousand this year. Last year, banks ended up foreclosing on about one million homes. 188,000 U.S. properties were foreclosed last month. That's the lowest monthly total since July of 2007.
