Movie review: 'Searching for Sugar Man' can't find all the answers ...

Hal Wilson | courtesy Sony Pictures Classics Rodriguez, the '70s rock star, is the subject of the documentary "Searching for Sugar Man."

There?s a fascinating story in the rise and fall of singer-songwriter Sixto Rodriguez, "the Latin Bob Dylan," and it?s too bad that the documentary "Searching for Sugar Man" doesn?t tell enough of it.

Here?s the bare-bones tale: Rodriguez (he went by his last name professionally) was discovered in a Detroit bar, recorded two moving albums that failed to sell, and never was heard from again ? except in South Africa, where bootlegs of his plaintive songs about life and activism caught on with the opponents of apartheid, and his haunting songs became massive hits.

?Searching for Sugar Man?

Opens Friday, Oct. 5, at the Broadway Centre Cinemas; rated PG-13 for brief strong language and some drug references; 86 minutes. For more movie reviews, visit nowsaltlake.com/movies.

Director Malik Bendjelloul traces the origins of Rodriguez?s career and music, and talks to the South Africans who were inspired by his music and labored to uncover what happened to the man.

The search yields surprises, but can?t crack the big mystery of Rodriguez himself. And for that you can blame Rodriguez, for remaining enigmatic, and Bendjelloul, who seems more engaged with the legend and the music than with the real person.

Lemonade stand vs. cancer: Boy raises $80,000

By Gordon Tokumatsu and Julie Brayton, NBCLosAngeles.com

LA HABRA, Calif. -- When Max Igoe was 5 years old, breast cancer claimed the life of his mother's best friend, 37-year-old Beth Rorman. The little boy found himself expressing his pain with the kind of idea only a kindergartner might conceive: a lemonade stand.

"It's just the first thing that popped into my head," said Max, now 14.

Nicki Igoe, Max's mother, said her son was aware her friend was sick.

"He knew that she had something called cancer," she recalled. Rorman battled the illness for some 10 years.


Max told his mom he would set up a lemonade stand near their La Habra home, and raise money for breast cancer research. Maybe even help them discover a cure.

"I explained to him that it wasn't the olden days. That people don't buy lemonade from peoples' driveways like they used to," Nicki said.

But she didn't want to hurt his feelings, either, not while he was mourning "Auntie Beth's" loss. So she helped him mix some juice, prop up a table and hand-print some signs.

This weekend, they will set up Max's stand for the ninth year in a row after years full of hundreds of gallons of pink sweet liquid, numerous raffles, "casino-night" fundraisers and days of labor.

Max has exceeded his wildest dreams: "We've raised over $80,000."

His goal? "A million dollars." And a cure.

Nicki said after every sale, they ask him if he wants to continue, and his answer for the last nine years has been the same: Yes.

Egypt's Mursi removes legal official seen as Mubarak loyalist | Firstpost

CAIRO (Reuters) ? Egypt?s president removed the general prosecutor from his post on Thursday in an apparent attempt to appease demonstrators who accused him of offering weak evidence in a trial of Mubarak-era officials accused of planning attacks on protesters last year.

General Prosecutor Abdel Maguid Mahmoud, appointed in July 2006, was among officials who drew the wrath of protesters after the fall of Hosni Mubarak on February 11, 2011.

President Mohamed Mursi?s decision came after a Cairo court on Wednesday acquitted 24 of Mubarak?s loyalist officials accused of sending men on horseback and camels to attack protesters during last year?s uprising.

MENA state news agency later said Maguid had ?said he did not resign from his post as General Prosecutor and that he will still carry out the duties according to the law of judicial authority?.

Egyptian law protects the general prosecutor from being dismissed. To surmount this hurdle, Mursi appointed Maguid ambassador to the Vatican, effectively removing him from his post.

?President Mohamed Mursi issued a decree appointing Abdel Maguid Mahmoud as ambassador to the Vatican,? Ahmed Abdel Atti, Mursi?s aide, said in a statement on Thursday.

Another presidential aide told Reuters that an ?assistant to the general prosecutor will take up his responsibilities until a new one is appointed?.

A judges? club supporting Mahmoud held an emergency meeting late on Thursday during which they denounced Mursi?s decision to remove Mahmoud from his post, saying that Egyptian law on judicial authority gives immunity to judges.

The judges demanded that Mursi withdraw his decision to remove Mahmoud.

?Egypt?s law on judicial authority offers judges immunity and prevents exiling them from their posts in order to protect their independence from the executive authority,? Waleed Shafie, deputy director of the appeals court in Alexandria, told the Internet portal Ahram.

Many Egyptians believe Mahmoud was anything but an independent figure and see him as having done the bidding of Mubarak, who appointed him.

So the new "civilizations are only a first generation because reproduction does not occur. However if there are mutations to essentiall "clone" one's self then the genetic structure would be immensily inferior to that of a human as things such as diseases mutants could never build up resistences to. So in other words this is an apocalyptic world filled with dum people with the IQ of less than 80.
