Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising - RED BAND Trailer

Oder: Girls gone wild

Bad Girls

Nachdem Mac Radner (Seth Rogen) und seine Frau Kelly (Rose Byrne) die Studentenverbindung um Teddy Sanders (Zac Efron) aus dem Nachbarhaus vertrieben haben, kehrt erst einmal Ruhe ins Viertel. Fr das junge Elternpaar ist das die grosse Chance, das Haus zu verkaufen und umzuziehen. Interessenten sind schnell gefunden und das Haus ist so gut wie verkauft. Es scheint, als kme die kleine Familie endlich zur Ruhe.

Six-Pack-Bros

Doch der Seelenfrieden ist nur von kurzer Dauer. Das leerstehende Nachbarhaus wird zur Studentinnenverbindung. Angefhrt wird die Schwesternschaft von Shelby (Chlo Grace Moretz), die es satt hatte, dass Studentinnen nicht dieselben Party-Rechte haben wie ihre mnnlichen Kollegen. Mit ihren Freundinnen verwandelt sie das Haus kurzerhand in eine Partyhhle. Teddy, der weiterhin mit seiner Zukunft hadert, legt sich fr die Mdchen ins Zeug, doch als seine Bemhungen fehlschlagen, wechselt er die Fronten und versucht zusammen mit den Radners die Nachbarsgren zu vertreiben.

Ja, auch in Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising muss die noch junge Familie Radner (Seth Rogen und Rose Byrne mit Kind) wieder unten durch. Regisseur Nicholas Stoller schenkt der idyllischen Nachbarschaft mit einer partywtigen Schwesternschaft richtig ein. Mit besserem und vor allem intelligenterem Witz, ernsteren Tnen und einem vllig abgedrehten Teddy Sanders (Zac Efron) bertrifft der zweite Teil das Original. Viel Neues gibt es zwar nicht zu entdecken, doch wer mit dem ersten Teil warm wurde, wird mit Neighbors 2 garantiert Spass haben.

Yuri Kochiyama, today"s Google Doodle, fought for civil rights and praised Osama bin Laden


Blue Scholars - Yuri Kochiyama

Thursday, May 19, this year would"ve been the 95th birthday of Yuri Kochiyama, a prominent Japanese-American activist who passed away at 93 two years ago. Google is marking the occasion with one of its trademark doodles.

Some of Kochiyama"s work was deeply, clearly admirable. As an associate of Malcolm X, she was an important nonblack ally to the more militant end of the civil rights movement. She endured forced internment during World War II, and was an outspoken advocate for reparations to internees, which would eventually be passed in 1988. She was a vocal opponent of the Vietnam War and advocate for inmates she viewed as political prisoners.

But other commitments of hers were more ambiguous. She was an outspoken admirer of Mao Zedong even after the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution. She praised Malcolm X for his "admiration for Mao and Ho Chi Minh," and worked closely with the Revolutionary Action Movement, an "urban guerrilla warfare" organization based on "a synthesis of the thought of Malcolm X, Marx and Lenin, and Mao Zedong." The activist Robert Williams gifted her with a copy of the Little Red Book, and she later thanked him for "the gift of Mao"s philosophy."

Yuri Kochiyama was a supporter of the terrorist group Shining Path Cris Bouronicle/AFP/Getty Images Graffiti in Lima, Peru, calls for the freeing of Shining Path leader Abimael Guzmn.

Two positions of Kochiyama"s stand out as particularly alarming. First, she was an enthusiastic supporter of the Peruvian terrorist group Shining Path, a Maoist organization that has conducted a brutal insurgency killing tens of thousands of people since 1980. Peru"s Truth and Reconciliation Commission found that Shining Path personally killed or disappeared at least 30,000.

"Its tactics include the burning of ballot boxes and the public "executions" of moderate local leaders and others, including nuns and priests, who are seen as rivals for the allegiance of the poor," according to a 1992 New York Times report. "In wildly exaggerated demonstrations of Maoist precepts, children have been killed for political "crimes." Amnesty International says the guerrillas routinely torture, mutilate and murder captives."

"We reject and condemn human rights because they are reactionary, counter-revolutionary, bourgeois rights," founder Abimael Guzmn declared in one document. "Rather than concentrate its attacks on the armed forces or police, Shining Path has predominantly singled out civilians," Human Rights Watch noted in 1997. "The Shining Path has pragmatically avoided taking captives unless it intends to execute them Shining Path has been reported to torture captured civilians before executing them." Shining Path also used rape as a weapon of war.

This did not appear to bother Kochiyama, who joined a delegation to Peru organized by the Maoist Revolutionary Communist Party, which defends the Great Leap Forward and the Cultural Revolution. She read, in her words, "the kind of reading materials that I could become "educated" on the real situation in Peru; not the slanted reports of corporate America. The more I read, the more I came to completely support the revolution in Peru." In other words, she read, and believed, Maoist propaganda denying Shining Path"s war crimes.

After her return from Peru, she declared, "What has been taking place in both Peru and the US is a serious campaign to discredit Guzmn and the Shining Path movement, tainting them as terrorists, undermining their struggle with lies, isolating them, and intimidating anyone who might support them."

Yuri Kochiyama declared Osama bin Laden "one of the people that I admire" Getty Images Osama bin Laden, on a horse.

Kochiyama was a thorough-going opponent of what she viewed as American imperialism, and like some radical anti-imperialists this occasionally led her to admiring truly loathsome figures, because she thought they were effective at combating American empire. Abimael Guzmn was one. Osama bin Laden was another.

In a 2003 interview for the Objector: A Magazine of Conscience and Resistance, Kochiyama explained:

Im glad that you are curious why I consider Osama bin Laden as one of the people that I admire. To me, he is in the category of Malcolm X, Che Guevara, Patrice Lumumba, Fidel Castro, all leaders that I admire. They had much in common. Besides being strong leaders who brought consciousness to their people, they all had severe dislike for the US government and those who held power in the US.

bin Laden may have come from a very wealthy family, but by the time he was twenty, he came to loathe the eliteness and class conduct of his family

You asked, "Should freedom fighters support him?" Freedom fighters all over the world, and not just in the Muslim world, dont just support him; they revere him; they join him in battle.

You stated that some freedom fighters responded that bin Ladens agenda is more reactionary and does not speak to the needs of the masses of people who exist under US dominance. bin Laden has been primarily fighting US dominance even when he received money from the US when he was fighting in Afghanistan. He was fighting for Islam and all people who believe in Islam, against westerners, especially the US--even when he was fighting against the Russians.

To be clear, this is Kochiyama defending bin Laden who, besides being a mass murderer, was a vicious misogynist and hardly the brave anti-imperial class traitor Kochiyama fancies him as against other leftists who correctly noted that you can oppose American imperialism without allying or supporting violent jihadism.

Kochiyama"s praise for Che Guevara and Fidel Castro is also controversial, and,I think wrong, but is at least somewhat common on the left. Sympathy for Shining Path and bin Laden, by contrast, is not a common left position basically anywhere.

5 key moments from the Nashville Predators" crazy triple-OT win over the San Jose Sharks


Nashville Predators Playoffs 2016 [HD]

The second-round series between the Nashville Predators and San Jose Sharks is tied at two games each after an insane triple-overtime Game 4 that stretched into the early hours of Friday morning. The game featured incredible opportunities at both ends of the ice and insane statistics.

Nashville defensemen Shea Weber and Roman Josi racked up over 49 minutes of ice time each, more than double the amount of ice time players usually total. Their efforts were worth it, however, as Mike Fisher"s goal at 11:12 of triple-OT helped Nashville tie the series rather than fall to the brink of elimination.

A triple-overtime game generates plenty of highlights. Here is a look at five of the best moments from the Sharks and Predators" Game 4 epic.

5. Predators fall onto the ice after the win

Playing over 112 minutes of back-and-forth hockey takes a toll on the body, so it"s hard to blame the pair of Predators who did not have the energy to hop over the boards to celebrate their big win. They ended up falling over the boards instead but showed great potential as a synchronized falling team. Perhaps this marks the birth of a new Olympic sport.

4. James Neal sends the game into OT with late third-period equalizer

There never would have been a triple-OT thriller had James Neal not tied the game up late in regulation. The Sharks had taken a 3-2 lead 6:48 into the third period thanks to a Brent Burns goal, but Neal kept the Predators alive when he roofed a rebound past Sharks goaltender Martin Jones. The goal was a bit of redemption for Neal, who missed a shot on net just seconds before the tally.

3. Rinne denies Joel Ward and survives a mad scramble in front of the net in first OT

The Sharks thought they had a game-winner just over four minutes into the first overtime when Joel Ward seemed to have a wide open net on a wraparound, but the 6-foot-5 Pekka Rinne reached to make a stop. His defense stepped up on the rebound opportunity, and despite a mad scrum at the crease, the Predators combined to somehow keep the puck out of the net much to the dismay of the already celebrating Logan Couture.

2. Joe Pavelski nets a goal that was not to be

Joe Pavelski put in a monumental effort to win the game in the first OT. He kept his eye on a bouncing puck as he crashed the net despite getting pushed by Paul Gaustad. But the force of Pavelski"s effort and Gaustad"s shove caused Pavelski to make contact with Rinne. The goal was waved off as officials ruled the contact prevented Rinne from making a play on the potential game-winner, so the goal was waived off and the game continued much to the dismay of Pavelski and the Sharks.

1. Mike Fisher ends it in triple-OT

It took 112 minutes -- nearly twice the length of a full hockey game -- before the Predators and Sharks were able to determine a winner in the early hours of Friday morning. The winning goal came courtesy of Mike Fisher, who swept up a rebound in front of the net and managed to put it past Jones.

A very proud Carrie Underwood did not take long to congratulate her husband on his big goal.

The game went down as the longest in Predators history and gave Nashville its first-ever postseason overtime win on home ice.

Lindy Ruff: Stars won"t be afraid to use defensive depth in series with Wild


Barstool Sports "The Life" with Tyler Seguin of the Dallas Stars Full Episode

By Mike Heika , Staff Writer Contact Mike Heika on Twitter:

Veteran Jason Demers is returning from a shoulder injury that kept him out 13 games. He played in the final regular season game and looked rusty, but Ruff said he wanted to trust Demers performance during 62 regular season games.

I had a conversation with him about his game and hes been a big part of our team, Ruff said. He was playing real well before he went out.

But Ruff added that the team has great depth on defense and he wont hesitate to use it. Dallas made Jordie Benn, Patrik Nemeth and Jamie Oleksiak healthy scratches in Game 1.

There is competition. You dont have time to wait for somebody to play well inside a series, Ruff said. We feel weve really got three other defensemen that we can put in the lineup that can be very effective. If he struggles, theres an opportunity for somebody else to step in and fill that void for us.

Alabama"s humiliation continues


Governor’s Phone Sex With Mistress Released (AUDIO)

Republicans stormed Montgomery in 2010, and it seemed an overdue siege. Democrats had held legislative power for 136 years, and the lack of relevant opposition had left them more accountable to special interests and old money than to the people.

It was billed as more than just a partisan shift. Item 1 on the agenda was ethics reform. This new breed of politicians wasnt just about family values, but about transparency and rigorous financial honesty. These were idealists, convinced that lean, accountable government would make Alabama a model for the nations conservative revolution.
