A Real Life Catch Me if you Can....

Colton Harris-Moore, a gangly 18-year-old with furtive eyes and a dimpled chin, has been on police blotters since he was accused of stealing a bike at the age of 8. Since then, he is suspected of having committed nearly 100 burglaries in Washington, Idaho and Canada. Police allege that he graduated from bikes to cars, then to speedboats. Lately, he is suspected of stealing three small aircraft — all the more impressive given that he has never taken a single flying lesson.
His recent alleged crimes have been more brazen. He's been accused of stealing speedboats to travel to nearby islands to plunder empty homes. In November 2008, police suspect that Harris-Moore hot-wired a Cessna that belonged to a local radio DJ — he'd ordered a flying manual on the Internet — and crash-landed it 300 miles (about 480 km) east on an Indian reservation. Since then, he may have stolen two other planes, both of which were later found crashed. He apparently walked away from the wrecks, miraculously unharmed.
So where is he now?
When police recently retrieved a stolen Mercedes-Benz on Camano, they discovered a camera with a photo that Harris-Moore had snapped of himself. The manhunt has become more intense. Before slipping away from a police raid on his mother's trailer, Harris-Moore left a note:
"Cops wanna play huh!? Well its no lil game.....It's war! & tell them that."

On a Mission from God

An American armed with a pistol and a 40-inch sword was detained in northern Pakistan and told investigators he was on a solo mission to kill Osama bin Laden.
When asked why he thought he had a chance of tracing bin Laden, Faulkner replied, "God is with me, and I am confident I will be successful in killing him."
"We initially laughed when he told us that he wanted to kill Osama bin Laden," said Khan. But he said when officers seized the pistol, the sword and night-vision equipment, "our suspicion grew."

Kevin Costner saving waterworld

LOS ANGELES — The "Kevin Costner solution" to the worsening oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico may work, and none too soon for the president of Plaquemines Parish in Louisiana.
Costner has invested 15 years and about $24 million in a novel way of sifting oil spills that he began working on while making his 1995 maritime film, "Waterworld," a post-apocalyptic epic that was plagued by problems and was a huge box-office flop.
Fifteen years later, BP and the Coast Guard plan to test six of his massive, stainless-steel centrifugal oil separators next week. Plaquemines Parish President Billy Nungesser welcomed the effort, even as he and Louisiana officials blasted the Army Corps of Engineers for delays in approving an emergency plan to build sand "islands" to protect the bayous of his parish.
"It certainly is an odd thing to see a 'Kevin Costner' and a 'centrifugal oil separator' together in a place like the Gulf of Mexico," said actor Stephen Baldwin, who is producing a documentary about the oil spill and Costner's device. "But, hey, some of the best ideas sometimes come from the strangest places."

"Pelada"
NEW Pelada Trailer from Rebekah Fergusson on Vimeo.
Word of positive reviews of "Pelada," a documentary about street soccer, is spreading. So much so that its first scheduled night at the Newport Beach Film Festival sold out and a second showing was added.
All the while filmmaker Luke Boughen is prepping for finals at the University of California, Irvine School of Law. Before starting law school, he and his fiancée Gwendolyn Oxenham set out on an international quest to capture the feel of pickup soccer games throughout the world.
"Pelada," the Brazilian word for street soccer, premiered at South by Southwest Film Festival in March and has picked up some impressive reviews since, including a piece in Monday's New York Times.
The film covers soccer in its rawest forms in 25 countries and include a lunch-break game between construction workers who are in the midst of building one of the stadiums for this year's World Cup soccer finals in Cape Town, South Africa.
The Times notes that the film includes some thrill-seeking moments, such as when Oxenham and Boughen bribe their way into a La Paz prison to play with the inmates.
