Documentary Filmmaker, Christian Poveda sheds light on a subject, that is filled with dark circumstances, and is surrounded by violence.  His newest documentary, La Vida Loca, focuses on the daily life in a cell of one of the biggest cliques of M-18 in San Salvador, El Salvador.
20 years after a revolutionary war that devastated the nation, a new civil war has begun. This social unrest could have been contained within the U.S., but in 1996, the Illegal Immigrant Reform and the Immigrant Responsibility Act was put into affect, and it allowed the U.S.A. to deport more than 100,000 gang members, originally detained on U.S. soil, back to where they came from.Take a look at the trailer here.

Pre-Y2K panic had its moments, but it never left us wondering, “How would it feel to be devoured by a black hole?” Here’s a snippet from an ABC News article published 2 years ago, before the Large Hadron Collider was a hot topic:

Although scientists haven’t directly observed a black hole (since a black hole swallows light), they have observed the effect of a black hole on surrounding material. Astronomers say the first sign of a black hole’s approach would be subtle changes in the night sky. The gravity from a black hole would distort Earth’s orbit and we’d begin to notice differences in the orbits of other planets and stars in the galaxy.

If a rogue black hole ever closed in on our solar system and crept up next to Earth, the resulting havoc would seem like the wildest science fiction. Either Earth would career out of its orbit, spinning out of the solar system, or in the opposite direction, toward the sun, and we’d suffer a deadly warming.

Enter the LHC (via BBC):

…There are a small but significant group of naysayers who worry that the LHC is not 100% safe. Opponents say it is possible the collider could produce micro black holes and dangerous “strangelets”, and that catastrophic effects from these cannot be ruled out.

Afraid? This blog post on backreaction.blogspot.com should calm you down:

In short: If tiny black holes were produced because large extra dimensions did exist in the necessary number with the necessary radius, and if they did not evaporate within 10^-26 seconds as expected (Hawking evaporation is considered a very robust prediction, so this scenario is not confirmed by well founded theories), most of them would have such a high velocity that they escaped the gravitational field of the Earth for good. Even if they travelled straight through the centre of the Earth, the few nucleons they can hit wouldn’t change their momentum in an appreciable way.

Phewf!

Nas, Rik Cordero & Three/21 Media put a serious slap on Fox News…

Nas - Sly Fox Video

Right on. One of the best videos we’ve seen in forever. Black Eyed Peas could learn a few things about using news footage.

As a tie-in for all our Fox-haters out there, just in case you didn’t catch it the first time it went around, documentary filmmaker Robert Greenwald put together OutFoxed, an amazing exposé on Fox News and their propagandist tactics. Check the preview out below… 

It’s kind of really disturbing, especially when you consider that Fox’s Rupert Murdoch is apparently making it his mission to buy up all the major media in the country…  It’s ridiculous that owning both The New York Post and The Wall Street Journal doesn’t count as a city monopoly. Can we do something about this already??

Frank151 would like to congratulate accused crack cocaine dealer Guillermo Alarcon Jr. on his recent acquittal. In a Los Angeles court house, 2 police officers were caught lying about a suspect they accused of selling crack in front of his apartment building. The conviction of Guillermo depended on the police officers testimony. But the police officers were unaware of a nearby surveillance camera that had captured the true story behind the arrest.

Is it still cheating if everyone is doing it? This Friday “Bigger Stronger Faster” hits selected theaters, covering the dirt behind the steroid controversy here in America. From the producers of Fahrenheit 9/11 and Bowling for Columbine, this one should be interesting.

It’s all fun and amusement until they’re walking us around on leashes.
