Police are searching for a woman who allegedly left a San Francisco train commuter a threatening note demanding that they hand over their wallet and phone on Saturday, People confirms.
The attempted robbery took place on a Bay Area Rapid Transit (Bart) train, and video surveillance showed the suspect seated behind the victim — who later identified herself as Julie Dragland — who was sitting alone, according to press release by the Bart Police Department.
The suspect, shown to be a white female in her 30s with long, strawberry blonde hair, reached over Dragland’s shoulder, which was when she possibly dropped the note,...

The tragedies began July 5 with a 911 call, alleging that a man in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, had brandished a gun while selling CDs outside of a convenience store. Alton Sterling was a genial father of five known as "CD Man," a fixture who sold music outside the Triple S Mart to support his family. Although he'd served time for illegal gun possession, the store owner said Sterling, 37, had a gun on him to protect against robbery when responding officers pinned him to the ground and then fatally shot him at close range. A deadly three days in America was under way.

After three days of consecutive, fatal shootings; the latest being in Dallas where 11 police officers were shot – four of which died – celebrities have been taking to Twitter to voice their concerns.
Singer John Legend, who frequently speaks uses his Twitter account to speak out on social injustices, called the shootings, which occurred during a peaceful Black Lives Matter protest on Thursday night, "counterproductive."

Thx 1138
I genuinely can't remember how it was that I became aware that Asian Dub Foundation had created an alternate/ancillary soundtrack for Thx 1138. Media about media is everywhere, but whether this rose from the babel of blog and counter-blog or an older vision of the future, like radio, I cannot tell you.

What I can say is that it works. There's something about the stacked retro-futurism, the looping revisitation of Lucas' 2004 Director's Cut of his 1971 feature debut based upon his student film and the music, the pan-global influence-synthesis of Adf. There's something about the fact that this is what the future was then and again, and would have been going to be - the tunnels of the as yet unfinished Bay Area Rapid Transit, Robert Duval and Walter Murch before Apocalypse Now, Lucas before the juggernaut franchises that made him a household name, before the.

In the past 24 hours, potential measles outbreaks have occurred at Las Vegas' MGM Grand, an Emeril Lagasse-owned restaurant in New Orleans and aboard a Bay Area Rapid Transit train outside San Francisco. The reemergence of the disease after years of dormancy is being attributed to parents who remain reticent about vaccinating their children. The issue hits especially close to home for Jimmy Kimmel, as his wife gave birth to a daughter in July 2014. On Friday night's Jimmy Kimmel Live!, the late night host took aim at all of those...

Settling in for Fruitvale Station, I already knew where Oscar Grant (Michael B. Jordan)’s story was headed. Grant’s final moments, in the first hours of 2009, facedown on cold pavement with a bullet from the gun of a Bay Area Rapid Transit (Bart) officer lodged in his back, have been immortalized through the media. The shooting sparked protests across the city of Oakland and made headlines worldwide.
What I never could have expected was how Ryan Coogler’s utterly devastating dramatization of the incident, and of the quiet, normal days leading up to it, would pull me into Oscar’s life and force me to see the world through his eyes in a way I never would have believed possible. That’s the brilliance of Fruitvale Station - it’s a brutal and heartbreaking documentation of a national tragedy, to be sure, but it’s also an involving work...

The Amazing Race, Season 23, Episode 8: “One Hot Camel”
Aired Sundays at 8pm (Et) on CBS
Abu Dhabi’s Formula 1 race track is the sleek beginning of this hit-and-miss 8th leg. Afghanimals leave first, and must use the satchel of coins they picked up earlier to unlock a car and get going. Not much of a code, though, since most teams came prepared with their numbers already—except the Ice Girls, who have a typical ditz moment holding up the coins to the lock like a sensor. Also typical, Tim asks his ex to promise not to yell at him if he drives, to which she yells at him to promise not to drive slow. Oy, just screw already.
Mr. and Mrs. Dr. have an Express Pass, and say that they will definitely be using it with the Double U-Turn coming up. They also might use the U-Turn itself on...

Are Australian audiences getting soft and avoiding darker and more confronting, challenging material?
That.s the theory of one Australian distributor as he surveyed last weekend.s openings of The Counselor, Insidious: Chapter 2, Mr Pip and Fruitvale Station.
Perhaps giving weight to his theory, Aussie comedy Backyard Ashes had a boisterous opening at just four screens in regional areas.
Ridley Scott.s The Counselor opened with $1.2 million which, pro-rata, is rather better than its lousy $US7.8 million debut in the Us. Some critics admired the Cormac McCarthy-scripted thriller about a respected lawyer.s disastrous involvement with a Mexican drug deal, starring Michael Fassbender, Javier Bardem, Penélope Cruz, Brad Pitt and Cameron Diaz.
But maybe audiences were deterred by the reviews which spoke of the sordid setting, dark-hearted individuals behaving badly, bloodshed and leaden dialogue.
James Wan.s haunted house sequel again featuring Rose Byrne and Patrick Wilson took $527,000 on 118 locations.
