My six year old niece, Lil L, went to see Santa last week. She spent so much time telling him what a good girl she's been that she ran out of time to tell him what she wanted for Christmas. Thank goodness for the list!

Rad: Parkour - The Art Of Moving
Wikipedia...
Parkour (sometimes also abbreviated to PK) or l'art du déplacement [1] (English: the art of moving) is a non- competitive, physical discipline of French origin in which participants run along a route, attempting to negotiate obstacles in the most efficient way possible, as if moving in an emergency situation. Skills such as jumping and climbing, or the more specific parkour moves are employed. The object of parkour is to get from one place to another using only the human body and the objects in the environment. The obstacles can be anything in one's environment, but parkour is often seen practiced in urban areas because of the many suitable public structures available such as buildings and rails.

Life: Video Footage Of The UCLA Fee Hike Demonstration
Ahh, I remember my demonstration days fondly. I've been on the front line of two celebrations/demonstrations-turned-riots very similar to this. Both ended with people all around me being beaten with batons and shot with rubber bullets by none other than the LAPD. I can assure you that the mob mentality is no joke. The LAPD will win every time, people. I've definitely learned my lesson and choose to stick with peaceful protests from here on out. Personal reflection aside, I can't believe a THIRTY TWO PERCENT fee hike was approved by the UC Regents. It will be interesting to see how this effects future enrollment.
