The best shooting of US cinema
Heat is a 1995 American epic crime drama film written and directed by Michael Mann. It stars Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. The film was released on December 15, 1995. De Niro plays a professional robber who is a calm and methodical introvert, while Pacino plays a veteran LAPD homicide detective whose devotion to his job causes him to neglect his personal problems. The central conflict of the film was based on the experiences of former Chicago police officer Chuck Adamson and his pursuit of a criminal named McCauley in the 1960s, from which the name of De Niro's character, Neil McCauley, was derived. Heat marked the first time that Pacino and De Niro appeared together onscreen. Although both actors had already starred in The Godfather Part II 21 years earlier, they had not appeared in any scenes together. Shooting is the act or process of firing guns or other projectile weapons such as bows or crossbows. The word shooting can refer to game hunting which implies the hunting of upland game birds such as grouse or pheasant, rabbits, deer or other game animals. Shooting can also refer to the sport of target shooting. This includes shotgun (skeet or trap), all of which use sporting clays. Further, shooting refers to the sport of rifle and handgun precision marksmanship. Here, stationary paper targets or reactive metal targets are used. There is also a growing sport of Cowboy action shooting. Here, competitors wear attire from the late 1800s and fire period weapons (single-action revolvers, lever-action rifles, and either double-barrel or pump-action shotguns) at a variety of metal and reactive targets. Combat, or fighting, is purposeful violent conflict intended to establish dominance over the opposition. The term "combat" (French for "fight") typically refers to armed conflict between military forces in warfare, whereas the more general term "fighting" can refer to any violent conflict, including boxing and wrestling matches, or street fighting. Combat violence can be unilateral, whereas fighting implies at least a defensive reaction. However, the terms are often used synonymously. Combat may take place under a certain set of rules or be unregulated. Examples of rules include the Geneva Conventions (covering the treatment of soldiers in war), medieval Chivalry, and the Marquess of Queensberry rules (covering boxing). Combat in warfare involves two or more opposing military organizations, usually fighting for nations at war (although guerrilla warfare and suppression of insurgencies can fall outside this definition). Warfare falls under the laws of war, which govern its purposes and conduct, and protect the rights of soldiers and non-combatants. Combat may be armed (using weapons) or unarmed (not using weapons). Hand-to-hand combat (mêlée) is combat at very close range, feeling the opponent with the body (striking, kicking, strangling, etc.) and/or with a mêlée weapon (knives, swords, batons, etc.), as opposed to firing. Hand-to-hand combat can be further divided into three sections depending on the distance and positioning of the combatants: Stand-up fighting Clinch fighting Ground fighting Urban warfare is a modern warfare conducted in urban areas such as towns and cities. As a distinction, warfare conducted in population centers before the 20th century is generally considered siege warfare. Urban combat is very different from combat in the open at both the operational and tactical level. Complicating factors in urban warfare are the presence of civilians and buildings of all sorts. Some civilians may be difficult to distinguish from combatants such as armed militias and gangs, particularly if individuals are trying to protect their homes. Tactics are complicated by a three-dimensional environment, limited fields of view and fire because of buildings, enhanced concealment and cover for defenders, below ground infrastructure, and the ease of placement of booby traps and snipers.
Hot Spots for Global Warming, U.S. Top Offenders
PlusHot Spots for Global Warming, U.S. Top OffendersHot Spots for Global Warming, U.S. Top OffendersThe Associated PressCities are hot spots for global warming, but individual urban dwellers leave a much smaller carbon footprint than their rural cousins, a new study says. (May 28)[Notes:ANCHOR VOICE] Los Angeles may have the reputation for being a smog-filled city, but a new study says people who live in the metropolitan area have the second-smallest carbon footprint in the country. A Brookings Institution report says L-A's dense population, relatively low heating and cooling needs, and use of cleaner fuels make the difference.(SOT: MARK MURROW/BROOKINGS INSTITUTION)(11:18:00) OVER 25 YEARS CALIFORNIANS AND CALIFORNIA REGULATORS HAVE BEEN VERY ATTUNED TO THESE ENERGIES AND THESE ISSUES AND HAVE BEEN PURCHASING LOWER CARBON ENERGY FOR A LONG TIME. Only one city does better than L-A--Honolulu. The study looked at how much carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere for every person who lives in a region. C-O-2 is considered a key greenhouse gas. On the other end--Lexington, Kentucky tops the list for largest carbon footprint. On average, each resident releases nearly three-and-a-half metric tons of carbon dioxide each year. Indianapolis ranks second.(SOT: MARK MURROW)11:30:27 LEXINGTON AND MANY OF THE SOUTHERN AND MIDWESTERN METROS HAVE HAD TRADITIONALLY, VERY CHEAP ELECTRICITY.

It does not take into account commercial or industrial sources. There are regional differences. Cities east of the Mississippi generally do worse than those west of the river. People living in cities south of the Mason-Dixon line generally have a higher carbon footprint that those to the south.

2008 Super Tuesday tornado outbreak - Memphis Area Radar
The 2008 Super Tuesday Tornado Outbreak was a deadly tornado outbreak affecting the Southern United States and the lower Ohio Valley from February 5--6, 2008. In total, 82 tornadoes were confirmed. The outbreak produced several destructive tornadoes in heavily populated areas, most notably in the Memphis metropolitan area, in Jackson, Tennessee, and the northeastern end of the Nashville metropolitan area. At least 58 people were killed in the outbreak by tornadoes across four states and 18 counties, with hundreds of others injured. The outbreak was the deadliest in the U.S. since the May 31, 1985 outbreak that killed 76 across Ohio and Pennsylvania (and also killed 12 in Ontario, Canada). It also was the deadliest tornado outbreak in both Tennessee and Kentucky since the 1974 Super Outbreak. In Arkansas, the 13 fatalities were the most since 25 were killed during the Benton, Arkansas Tornado Outbreak on March 1, 1997. In addition to the tornadoes, the same system produced significant straight-line wind damage, hail as large as softballs, major flooding, significant freezing rain, and heavy snow across many areas of eastern North America. Memphis area tornado A supercell thunderstorm moved across the Tennessee and Mississippi state boundary and produced a tornado at 5:32 PM CDT (2332 UTC) in Southaven, Mississippi near Southaven High School which was heavily damaged. The tornado quickly tracked across the line into southeastern Memphis. National Weather Service officials issued a tornado emergency (the first of five in the outbreak) across most of the Memphis region and the suburbs. It produced a swath of extensive damage over residential and commercial areas. WREG tower cameras showed the tornado tracking across the southeastern suburbs, particularly Southaven, Mississippi, with sightings of debris and power flashes. An eyewitness took pictures of the tornado. Hickory Ridge Mall suffered damage when portions of a wall and roof were destroyed. Major damage has also been reported in the Pleasant Ridge area of Germantown and the south end of Memphis. Damage was also reported at Memphis International Airport, where a hangar lost its roof, the FedEx freight terminal's fire station suffered roof damage (FedEx service was disrupted due to flight delays and closed roads from the tornado damage in surrounding areas; the FedEx superhub suffered minimal damage), airstair trucks were thrown 100 yards (91 m), and aircraft were moved around, including a Boeing 737 being moved one foot. The airport was locked down before the tornado hit; the airport weather station's reporting equipment recorded a gust of 73 knots (84 mph, 135 km/h). The Hardy Bottling Company facility was also damaged, which released 120,000 pounds (54,500 kg) of anhydrous ammonia into the atmosphere, although no public health impacts were reported. Electricity was also briefly cut to about 65,000 customers in Memphis. The National Weather Service rated the tornado as an EF2. Four people in the metropolitan area are confirmed dead. Three people were killed when a warehouse collapsed in the Hickory Hill section of Memphis. A spokesperson for the state's Emergency Management Agency also reported one fatality at the Hickory Ridge Mall, although the NWS office in Memphis has not confirmed such. 36 other people were injured in Shelby County by the tornadoes. One other death took place southeast of Hebron by a separate EF3 tornado.

Broadband Revolution
Although the U.S. once led the world in Internet deployment and innovation, our nation continues to plummet in international rankings in terms of broadband adoption, speeds and costs. As a result, there is growing support for an affirmative national broadband policy to promote more affordable and ubiquitous access to high-bandwidth connectivity. Since 2001, the e-NC Authority of North Carolina has been at the forefront of state efforts to promote availability and adoption of broadband, particularly in rural and distressed urban areas. The e-NC Authority provides a vital state-level view of what it will take to make this essential 21st Century infrastructure available and affordable for all. At this forum the e-NC Authority will release and present a major white paper, prepared by the Baller Herbst Law Group, that comprehensively examines trends and issues in broadband deployment, including: * The growing benefits of broadband to economic development, education, health care, public safety, telework, urban revitalization, and environmental sustainability, and other key areas of American life; * Broadband deployment efforts in leading Asian and European nations and how they differ from the U.S. approach; * The level of bandwidth capacity that will be sufficient to enable America to thrive in the emerging knowledge-based global economy; * How national, state and local broadband strategies can contribute to America's success; * And policy recommendations to help North Carolina and the United States capture the full benefits of broadband in the years ahead. The panelists discussed the policy recommendations of e-NC and other participating organizations and their implications for developing a national broadband strategy to energize high-speed broadband deployment and adoption throughout the U.S.

Thousand Kites
In 1998, when we were volunteer DJs at WMMT, a community radio station in Whitesburg, KY, we received hundreds of letters describing human rights violations in newly-opened prisons in our community. Concerned about what was happening, we responded with an art project called "Holler to the Hood" to address human rights abuses in the United States criminal justice system. One of the first things we did was produce a radio program that brought the voices of prisoners' families to the airwaves. Broadcasting stories and messages from families and loved ones served as a way to better understand who was in our region's prisons. The show is now a weekly broadcast on WMMT and with a special annual holiday broadcast on more than 120 stations around the country. Our next endeavor was to create hill-hop, bringing together hip-hop (representing the urban areas where many prisoners are from) and traditional Appalachian music (where the prisons are located). In 2006 we completed a feature length documentary called "Up the Ridge" that explores our community's story with the prison system. All of this work introduced us to people and groups around the country concerned with the high rate of incarceration in the United States and the often unreported human rights abuses that occur within our country's prison system. As people who live in a small town we were also concerned to learn that many prisons are built as a form of economic development in struggling rural areas. Building on these projects, we began working with other artists and community activists around the country to create Thousand Kites. Thousand Kites is a national project that provides tools (theater, web, radio, and video) for people concerned about human rights and criminal justice issues to use to facilitate dialogue in their local communities across the United States.
Haitian History: Jean Baptiste Point du Sable (Chicago Chapter part I)
Haitian History is Black History, and we determine how the world remember it, thus how the world remembers us. A video about the triumph of Jean Baptiste Point du Sable, who founded Chicago, a place that defines character in the world today. 4081 productions rewinding reality for the better. Edited by Lawrence Gonzalez Voice intro featuring Mecca aka Grimo Directed by Ecclesiast Guerriere Assisted by Daniel Nicolas Pics were found on the web. a tribute to chicago and its best Chicago is the largest city by population in the state of Illinois and the Midwest, and a dominant center of finance, industry and culture in the region. The city was long the "second city" (second in population to New York), and is currently the third-most populous city in the United States, with nearly 3 million people. The Chicago metropolitan area (commonly referred to as Chicagoland) has a population of over 9.7 million people in Illinois, Wisconsin and Indiana, making it also the third largest metropolitan area in the U.S.[2] Adjacent to Lake Michigan, it is among the world's twenty-five largest urban areas by population, and rated an alpha world city by Loughborough University.[3] Incorporated as a city in 1837 after being founded in 1833 at the site of a portage between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi River watershed, it soon became a major transportation hub in North America and quickly became the transportation, financial and industrial center of the American Midwest. Today the city's attractions bring 44.2 million visitors annually.[4] Chicago was once the capital of the railroad industry and until the 1960s the world's largest meatpacking facilities were at the Union Stock Yards. Chicago became notorious worldwide for its violent gangsters in the 1920s, most notably Al Capone, and for the political corruption in one of the longest lasting political machines in the nation. The city has long been a stronghold of the Democratic Party and has been home to many Democratic presidential candidates including the current presumptive nominee Barack Obama. The name "Chicago" is the French rendering of the Miami-Illinois name shikaakwa, meaning "wild leek".[5][6][7] Etymologically, the sound /shikaakwa/ in Miami-Illinois literally means 'striped skunk', and was a reference to wild leek, or the smell of onions.[6] The name was initially applied to the river, but later came to denote what is presently the site of city. The sound Chicago is said[who?] to be the result of a French mis-transcription of the original sound by Louis Hennepin, a Catholic priest, missionary and explorer, who in 1683 first placed the place name 'Chicago' on a map.[citation needed] During the mid-18th century the area was inhabited primarily by Potawatomis, who had taken the place of the Miami and Sauk and Fox peoples. The first permanent settler in Chicago, Haitian Jean Baptiste Pointe du Sable, arrived in the 1770s, married a Potawatomi woman, and founded the area's first trading post. In 1803 the United States Army built Fort Dearborn, which was destroyed in the 1812 Fort Dearborn massacre. The Ottawa, Ojibwa, and Potawatomi later ceded the land to the United States in the 1816 Treaty of St. Louis. On August 12, 1833, the Town of Chicago was organized with a population of 350. Within seven years it grew to a population of over 4,000. The City of Chicago was incorporated on March 4, 1837. common, obama, hilary clinton, yung berg, dwayne wade, michael jordan, bernie mac, terrence howard, oprah, kanye west,chicago bulls, chicago sox, chicago bears, mike ditka, robin williams, fallout boy
