Do Lady GaGa bleeding on stage during Paparazzi. Even though it was fake, it's still pretty crazy. And don't do the Michael Jackson one, that's slightly inappropriate and disrespectful. You can have a pretend news anchor deliver the news and then fans sobbing and going in the streets and dancing and singing and LOVING him but the coffin thing...not cool.

2010 Wood Panel Board Market Steadily Warming

Postcrisis era, the domestic crisis has gradually stabilized, become active in the property market, has introduced economic stimulus for this year's trend of solid wood flooring market will show steady growth in demand, prices fluctuated slightly, the overall trend of steadily judgments, because There are the following.

1, solid wood floor's natural strengths and determine people's consumption habits of the strong market demand

First of all, natural wood floor rustic, natural luxury, you can create the best affinity with the people and the elegance of the room environment, flexibility, foot feeling comfortable, Dongnuanxialiang, can regulate the indoor temperature and humidity, is the real green decoration materials, and to achieve the second renovation, reuse. Second, the wood is a renewable material life. For thousands of years, as large buildings, small to chopsticks, bowls, pans, tables, chairs, beds and furniture, jewelry, and other people's lives has never left natural wood. With the acceleration of the process of modern urbanization, the pursuit of people's quality of life, quality of life enhancement, life will be more and more attention to the natural and healthy, solid wood flooring market demand will increase, the industrial development prospects very broad and rich continuing.

2, the overall global resourcebased recovery in commodity prices

Global commodity futures markets in 2008 were pieces of heavy, but all commodity prices have recently rebounded significantly, especially in iron and steel, coal, nonferrous metals, petroleum, timber and other resource commodities. Recently, the market price of wood has been gradually out of the bottom, starting a small increase, so the price of solid wood flooring will also appear steady upward trend. Meanwhile, since last year by the impact of the economic environment, domestic confidence in largescale timber suppliers frustrated, in the total stock of raw material market is relatively not that high, other factory, dealer's stock is not large, combined with 35 month in 2009 good sales, the upcoming renovation delivery peak demand, shortterm supply and demand also contributed to the recent rise in timber prices began to have an important reason. Gradually begins to recover as the global financial crisis, driving export demand also contributed to price increases.

3, scientific development, rational use of forest resources is a necessary requirement natural metabolism

As a renewable resource, forests and nonrenewable resources has oil, coal, minerals and other things are different. Early production of solid wood flooring national wood imported from Southeast Asia all the basic, small wood species, but the number is not small, single mode of supply resulted in overexploitation of local forest resources. Now, Africa, South America, Eastern Europe and other countries with large forest resources to be developed, the procurement of timber is also more than 100 countries around the world to channel the supply of wood species in more than 100 categories of diversity. Therefore, the global supply of wood resources can meet consumer demand. Meanwhile, forest resources and rational development and utilization, can improve people's living standards, but also the natural harmony of the environment, science and promoting the development of its necessity, circular, nature requires metabolism. If the forest resources without appropriate and reasonable development and utilization, they often lead to forest fires, wood rot, mildew caused by water pollution and other natural disasters. Therefore, we must base ourselves on environmental health, and natural harmony of life needs, innovative use of technology to enrich and beautify one's home environment, Bing Tong Guo Kai Fa forest resources of the scientific, rational use to avoid a lot of Buli .

4, solid wood floor has significantly higher volume, strong market demand from the smooth trend

The financial crisis erupted last year, so that a greater decline in timber prices, but also a lot of renovation plans to delay, a shortlived "cool city." Since March this year, wood market, prices are stable, solid wood flooring marked increase in trading volume, market demand and strong presentation pack of the scene. Began in April 2009, sales of wood flooring or even a small peak, coupled with the promotion of festivals, such sales momentum has continued.

5, the financial crisis to gradually stabilize the housing market pick up, building materials sales momentum began to turn for the better

The price of solid wood flooring brand has long been relatively stable, the reason is that enterprises in order to maintain brand image and ensure longterm development, requires a lot of manpower, material and financial resources for technological innovation, improve management, and constantly upgrading product quality, rich colors, and improve services a series of value. Is well known, including solid wood flooring prices constitute the main raw material, manufacturing, logistics, etc., which account for the largest share of the cost of raw materials. Higher raw material prices, the new labor law enforcement manpower costs, ensure product grade materials, so the cost will only increase.

With the global economy gradually stabilized, the domestic real estate market trading volume also increased in activity, the public and further enhance consumer confidence. Middle and upper income groups has been a solid wood floor of the mainstream consumer groups, their pursuit of quality of life, so pay more attention to quality solid wood flooring, with style, brand value and other factors, so often choose products have obvious advantages of high brand reputation assured the floor so.The new round of competition is definitely imminent.

Recognition Nike

i need some opnions for my school work.?

do you think the nike trainer trade is unfair? the people in second and third world countries who actually make the trainers work in bad conditions, are underpaid and are not given any recognition towards the nike trainer company. can u just explain what u think about it and how it could be resolved?

Where does Nike produce its shoes?

During the 1970's, most Nike shoes were made in South Korea and Taiwan. When workers there gained new freedom to organize and wages began to rise, Nike looked for "greener pastures." It found them in Indonesia, China, and most recently Vietnam--countries where protective labor laws are poorly enforced and cheap labor is abundant. Also in China and Vietnam, the law prohibits workers from forming independent trade unions. This was also true in Indonesia until 1998, when dictator General Suharto was overthrown. These three countries continue to be the major places where Nike shoes are made.

Does Nike run its own factories?

No, Nike does not own any of the factories where its shoes are produced; it contracts the work to various factory owners. Nike say it is in the business of "marketing" shoes, not making them. However, Nike dictates the terms to the contractor: the design, the materials, the price it will pay. While companies like Nike used to try to avoid responsibility for factory conditions by saying they were "just the buyer," the anti-sweatshop movement has made this excuse unacceptable and forced the retailers—who are, after all, the ones who make the greatest profit—take responsibility for the workers who make their products.

Why pick on Nike, if other shoe companies are just as bad?

First of all, we heard many, many complaints from Nike workers and local labor groups. The AFL-CIO office in Indonesia, for example, said that Nike factory workers filed more complaints about wage violations than any other shoe company. In the first two years that Nike was in Vietnam, one factory official was convicted of physically abusing workers, another fled the country during a police investigation of sexual abuse charges and a third was under indictment for abusing workers, as reported in The New York Times.

Secondly, it's important to pick a company that can afford the cost of improvements. Nike is so profitable and sells its shoes for such high prices that it can well afford to double the workers' wages without increasing the retail price.

Thirdly, Nike is the biggest shoe company in the world and puts itself forth as an industry leader. Their Code of Conduct says: "in the area of human rights... in the communities in which we do business, we seek to do not only what is required, but what is expected of a leader." By targeting the industry leader, we hoped to make changes throughout the whole industry. This strategy has proven effective. Reebok, for example, has been making improvements in its overseas factories even though it has not been the target of a major campaign. Adidas, fearful of being tarred with the Nike brush, is starting to make changes as well.

Aren't the workers happy to have the factory jobs?

Nike has indeed brought many jobs to Southeast Asia, and workers certainly want jobs. But they want their dignity, too. They don't want to be physically or verbally abused by their supervisors or to work excessive overtime for extremely low wages. Job creation and worker exploitation should not go hand in hand. It is not enough to simply create jobs; Nike should be creating opportunities and prosperity, paying wages that allow its workers to pull themselves out of poverty.

While company officials say that many workers line up to get these jobs whenever there are openings, they fail to mention the numerous strikes that workers organize to protest unfair labor practices. In April 1997, 10,000 Indonesian workers went on strike over wage violations. In the same month, 1,300 workers in Vietnam went on strike demanding a one-cent-per-hour raise and in 1998, 3,000 workers in China went on strike to protest not only low wages, but hazardous working conditions. And remember, in these countries, workers who protest put themselves at great personal risk. They can end up fired and blacklisted from further jobs, or worse yet, be interrogated and jailed.

It can be argued that a bad job is better than no job at all, but a good job is certainly better than a bad one. Nike can well afford to provide healthy working conditions and pay a living wage.

Isn't the minimum wage enough to live on in those countries?

When the Nike campaign began in 1996, Nike was not even paying their Indonesian workers the minimum wage. In fact, all the shoe companies doing business in Indonesia would petition the government year after year for an exception from paying the minimum wage on the grounds that it would be a "hardship" for the factories to pay it. And this was a wage that, according to the Indonesian government itself, covered only 70% of the basic needs of one person!

Another problem was that several factories in Indonesia and Vietnam would pay new workers an apprentice wage that was below minimum wage, justifying this on the grounds that the women needed several months to learn the job. But most of the time, the women would get a few hours training and be put right on the assembly line. The apprentice wage was merely a pretext for cheating workers.

By 1997, Nike was shamed into telling its Indonesian contractors to stop asking for exemptions to the minimum wage and to stop paying apprentice wages. But the company still does not require its contractors to pay workers a living wage. In April 1999 when the Indonesian government announced that it was increasing the minimum wage to 231,000 rupiah/month ($26US), Nike for the first time announced that it would raise wages for its Indonesian factory workers higher than the legally required minimum,. Their new wage was a minimum cash wage of 265,000 ($30US) and a bonus package that adds up to 332,000 ($37.50US).

While this is certainly a step forward, the wages are still a far cry from a living wage. An Indonesian wage study released by Global Exchange shows that 332,000 rupiah/month ($37.50US) is needed to cover the basic needs of one person. A living wage, which is a wage that helps cover the needs of a family, not just one worker, would be twice this figure, or 664,000 rupiah/month ($75US).

Moreover, Vietnamese and Chinese workers still get poverty wages. In all three countries, $4 a day would be considered a decent wage. Nike, a company with $8.7 billion in revenue in 1998 that sells its shoes for $150, can well afford to pay its workers such a meager sum.

Has Nike fulfilled its promise to allow independent monitoring of its factories?

In May 1998 Nike announced that it would allow independent monitoring of its factories. However, its definition of independent monitoring includes the use of for-profit accounting firms such as PriceWaterhouseCoopers and Ernst & Young. Anti-sweatshop activists feel these firms do not have the trust of workers and are too beholden to Nike to be considered independent. Nike has announced that in Vietnam it is using social scientists from the University of Economics in Ho Chi Minh City to help monitor factory conditions. And in April 1999 it announced the formation of the Global Alliance for Workers and Communities, a grouping of business, public and non-profit organizations that is supposed to involve local NGOs in the assessment of workplace conditions through interviews, focus groups and worker surveys.

These initiatives are too new to be ab le to determine how effective they will actually be. Moreover, while independent monitoring is important for halting the most egregious abuses, it should only be a temporary measure. Workers themselves should be empowered, through their own organizations, to protect their rights.

Have there been significant improvements in safety and health?

Nike has made positive changes in the areas of environmental health and safety. In 1998 it announced a program to replace petroleum-based solvents with safer water-based compounds. In 1999, an independent expert was allowed to verify this in the case of the Tae Kwang Vina factory in Vietnam. The investigator found that the factory had substituted less harmful chemicals in its production, installed local exhaust ventilation systems, and trained key personnel on occupational health and safety issues. The report concluded that the factory had implemented important changes that significantly reduced worker exposures to toxic solvents, adhesives, and other chemicals.

However, it also noted that significant health and safety issues still remain. Workers in some sections of the plant still faced overexposures to hazardous chemicals, and to heat and noise levels. Respiratory illness rates remained a concern. The report observed that further steps were needed to bring this factory into compliance with US Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) standards, as pledged by Nike.

In a move indicating a new level on openness on Nike's part, the same investigator has been invited by the company to look at health and safety issues in any of Nike's shoe factories. Plans are underway to do this in several factories in Indonesia and China.

Is Global Exchange still continuing its Nike campaign?

Global Exchange did praise Nike's efforts to raise the Indonesian wage and improve health conditions. However, Nike still has a long way to go to meet the anti-sweatshop movement's call for companies to pay a living wage, allow independent monitoring in all factories, and ensure that workers have the right to organize into independent unions. We should therefore keep the pressure on!

I have a Roth IRA that hasnt performed as well as it should. What is the most consistent company(vanguard?)?

My current company is Primerica which is a branch of CITI Group. I always hear about the Vanguard Fund, but for all i know its like saying Nike makes the best basketball shoes(brand recognition)

Which Vanguard Fund have you picked? Vanguard has many mutual funds. Conservate funds has a historical rate between 5-10%. Aggressive growth funds has a historical rate between 10-15%.

Next question, how are you investing? Did you put just one lump sum deposit and just let it sit there? Or you invest just once a year? Or you invest every month?

How long have you been investing? If you been investing a long time and you see that other investment companies such as Legg Mason are doing significantly better than that mutual fund of the same category, then it may be wise to sell your Vanguard Fund to purchase another fund. There maybe tax consequences, so consult with a tax advisor before doing so.

These three questions can affect the performance of your portfolio: How long have you been investing? What is the objective of that mutual fund? How often do you invest?

Registered reps at Primerica are now equipped with the Morningstar Program. Morningstar is a company that research and reviews all investments, from stocks, bonds, to mutual funds. Base on their research, they give a rating from 5 star (superior) to one star (very weak). The Morningstar Program analyzes your current porfolio, evaluates your risk and then makes recommendations on which mutual funds you should invest in. Primerica has 100s of different mutual funds from various companies such as Van Kampen, Fidelity, Oppenheimer, Legg Mason, and so on. So, you are not purchasing mutual funds from Primerica, you are purchasing it through them.

I invest every month in my mutual funds and on average, they have perform at a rate of 11% in the past year. About 13% in the past 3 years. I have 3 mutual funds in my Roth IRA (i'm not going to tell you because they might not meet your objective) and put away $50 into one fund and $25 into the other two, for a total of $100/month.

If you want more info about IRAs and mutual funds, go see my research at: http://obe231.blogspot.com

True Competition

Competition kills the purpose and true skill of the art.?

do you not agree that a martial art that is trained for competitions and sports pretty much looses its real skill?

i dont consider sports martial arts, martial arts.
its either a sport or its martial arts you cant have it both ways
as for training competition or for the sport aspect. yes you do loose out if you only prepare for those,
i work on competition with my students at most a month out of the year, if i go over that much. i focus more on the martial art aspect of training then on competition, and my students do very well when it comes to competition, i dont promote to many tournaments about 3 or so a year, but my students go to other open competition on there own.

i feel if you just practice traditional martial arts for self defense and surviving on the street, you should do decent in tournaments. and so far that has worked out well, that way for me, i have no need to change it.
besides i have to much stuff to teach and have to worry about preparing them for some stupid trophy that wont do squat to help them in a real life situation.
if the students dont like it, to bad, they can always go to school down the block, they teach how to win tournaments, and some dillman wannabe, bull s***.

Party Competition (Paperback) $26.73 Party competition for votes in free and fair elections involves complex interactions by multiple actors in political landscapes that are continuously evolving, yet classical theoretical approaches to the subject leave many important questions unanswered. Here Michael Laver and Ernest Sergenti offer the first comprehensive treatment of party competition using the computational techniques of agent-based modeling. This exciting new technology enables researchers to model competition between several different political parties for the support of voters with widely varying preferences on many different issues. Laver and Sergenti model party competition as a true dynamic process in which political parties rise and fall, a process where different politicians attack the same political problem in very different ways, and where today`s political actors, lacking perfect information about the potential consequences of their choices, must constantly adapt their behavior to yesterday`s political outcomes. Party Competition shows how agent-based modeling can be used to accurately reflect how political systems really work. It demonstrates that politicians who are satisfied with relatively modest vote shares often do better at winning votes than rivals who search ceaselessly for higher shares of the vote. It reveals that politicians who pay close attention to their personal preferences when setting party policy often have more success than opponents who focus solely on the preferences of voters, that some politicians have idiosyncratic "valence" advantages that enhance their electability--and much more.

Hours Video

About how many hours of video is a gigabyte?

more specifically how much memory will a 2 hour video use on my ipod.

For the ipod (so in mp4 format), a 2 hour video has a size between 200 and 500 MB. In fact it depends on the quality of the video, and all these stuff. But sometimes there are videos similar in quality, having the same length, and still there's a major difference between their size.

Shadow Hours $14.95 The underside of Los Angeles is the setting for SHADOW HOURS, a fast paced noir thriller that pits Michael Holloway (Balthazar Getty) against the devil. Moving quickly along with the beat of its techno soundtrack, SHADOW HOURS follows Holloway as he tries to make a new life for himself. Working the graveyard shift at a seedy Los Angeles gas station provides hours of boredom and a ringside seat to the craziness of Los Angeles as Holloway, a recovered drug addict tries desperately to survive, with only his pregnant wife Chloe (Rebecca Gayheart) to support him. When rich, Porsche-driving writer Stuart Chapell (Peter Weller) drives in seeking help with nocturnal research for his new novel, Holloway's attempts at maintaining a normal life are derailed. What starts as a seemingly innocent tour of the exotic and shocking nightlife of Los Angeles quickly transforms into a drug-soaked and decadent descent into debauchery. As Holloway and Chapell continue their nocturnal explorations, a string of bizarre murders plagues the city and Holloway soon realizes that his soul is in jeopardy. In his headlong plunge back into addiction and further into Chapell's world of sex, drugs, violence and ritual, Holloway risks the loss of his wife and realizes he is fighting for his own redemption.

8.5 Hours $21.24 Ireland, 2007. As the economy teeters on the brink of a dramatic downturn, the lives of four workers at a software company are about to reach drastic turning points. Though the day begins like a usual Monday at work - another 8.5 hours on the clock - there are troubles brewing just below the surface. With their company and financial security seemingly disintegrating before their eyes, each desperate employee will do whatever it takes to stay afloat, weaving a tangled web of blackmail, deception and scandal behind their professional facades. Director Brian Lally presents an emotionally raw indictment of the shortsighted ambition that characterized Ireland's Celtic Tiger boom times. Laced with subtle dark humor and shocking twists, the award-winning 8.5 Hours is an engrossing character study that questions how far seemingly ordinary office workers will go to achieve power and wealth.

16 Hours $8.49 The gritty urban thriller 16 HOURS tells the story of a desperate woman who has one day to come up with $100,000 in ransom money in order to save her kidnapped child. Armed only with a small gun and the support of her closest friend, she must decide how far she's willing to go to come up with the funds she needs. Entertainment Distribution

Desperate Hours $8.49 The Desperate Hours directed by Michael Cimino, is an attempt to remake the Humphrey Bogart classic of the same name with indifferent results. Bosworth (Mickey Rourke), a brutal criminal on the run with his partners, takes over a house occupied by an unhappily married couple Nora (Mimi Rogers) and Tim (Anthony Hopkins) and their young son and daughter. Bosworth has escaped from jail with the help of his defense attorney Nancy Breyers (Kelly Lynch). The film focuses on the interactions of the family and Bosworth as he plans his escape to Mexico. Cimino wastes little time in developing the characters or explaining the implausible premise that Bosworth would chose an occupied house and hold an innocent family captive when the logical choice would be to lay low and wait for his chance to escape. Both Hopkins and Rourke, usually excellent actors, give wildly over-the-top performances, aided by the lurid, over-written dialogue of the screenplay and the badly paced, ill-conceived direction by Cimino, which instead of creating tension and suspense, simply confuses the already muddled and incomprehensible plot. The Desperate Hours is a pale example of the original with little to recommend it. ~ Linda Rasmussen, All Movie Guide

48 Hours $8.49 Jack Cates (Nick Nolte) is a tough, super-jaded cop who springs a hard luck robber, Reggie Hammond (Eddie Murphy), from jail for two days to help nab his former partners. The two men form a kind of friendship (based on mutual hatred) as they chase a trio of remorseless villains through the streets of San Francisco and Cates finds that Hammond's streetwise method of finding the criminals is possibly even more effective than his own by-the-book police procedures. Rounded characters and crackling comedy balance out this this box-office hit. A sequel, ANOTHER 48 HOURS, was produced in 1990.

The Gallant Hours $21.21 James Cagney is riveting as the legendary commander of South Pacific forces, Admiral William F. Bull Halsey, in this extraordinary film that depicts his courageous actions during the Japanese war. ** PLEASE NOTE: This product is manufactured on demand using DVD-R recordable media.

After Hours $8.49 Martin Scorsese's After Hours is a dark, tragi-comic tale of a fish out of water, centering on an uptight, white-bread computer consultant from uptown Manhattan who finds himself in the nightmarish and incomprehensible (to him) world of Soho after dark. The ordeal begins when Paul Hackett (Griffin Dunne) gets lonely and decides to leave the posh East Side and search the Soho streets for some loving from Marcy (Rosanna Arquette), the pretty young woman he met in a downtown cafe. He has her phone number and works up the nerve to call. She wants to see him, and so Paul grabs $20, hails a taxi and sets out. The weirdness begins when he loses his money during the high-speed cab ride. His visit to Marcy's loft, where he meets her crazed artist roommate Kiki (Linda Fiorentino), is a disaster, as is his encounter with the beehive-wearing retro waitress Julie (Teri Garr). ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi frightening in its depiction of an insane, neurotic New York City. As the unfortunate hero, Dunne delivers his lines with a baffled incredulousness that also works as a voice for the sympathetic audience, who doesn't know whether to laugh or cringe when things really begin to heat up.

The Hours & Times $16.98 The relationship between John Lennon and Brian Epstein, the manager of The Beatles, is fictionalized in writer-director Christopher Munch's acclaimed The Hours and Times. The basis of the film is a real-life event from 1963, when Epstein and Lennon left the rest of the Beatles behind to spend an extended weekend together in Barcelona, seeking rest and relaxation. Munch builds his film around conjectures about what may have happened that weekend just before the breaking of Beatlemania in America, portraying the bonding, conflicts, and sexual tension between the two men. As the trip begins, the homosexual Epstein has already been nursing a frustrating crush upon the young singer, which Lennon -- recently married -- has neither fully acknowledged nor discouraged, as he alternately questions Epstein with intrigued curiosity and flirts with stewardesses. Munch's film, winner of a special award at the Sundance Film Festival, as well as acclaim from numerous critics, presents Lennon and Epstein's exchanges in crisp, rich black-and-white images, framing the pair against various Barcelona backdrops. Ian Hart, who portrays John Lennon in the film, would soon afterwards reprise the role -- with intriguing, subtle variation -- in the 1994 feature Backbeat. ~ Judd Blaise, Rovi

Hours, The (Fullscreen) $8.49 Three women, separated by a span of nearly 80 years, find themselves weathering similar crises, all linked by a single work of literature in this film adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Michael Cunningham. In 1923, Virginia Woolf (Nicole Kidman) is attempting to start work on her novel Mrs. Dalloway, in which she chronicles one day in the life of a troubled woman.

In 1951, Laura Brown (Julianne Moore) is a housewife living in suburban Los Angeles, where she looks after her son Richie (Jack Rovello) and husband Dan (John C. Reilly).

The Dark Hours $11.96 A woman's mistakes come back to haunt her in a terrifying and very literal manner in this thriller. Dr. Samantha Goodman (Kate Greenhouse) is a clinical psychiatrist who works with patients at an institution for the criminal insane in Canada. Things have not been rosy for Sam lately -- she's been violently attacked by one of her patients, her marriage to husband Dave (Gordon Currie) is in bad shape, and she has an inoperable brain tumor that's growing at an alarming rate. Sam needs a weekend away from the city, but what Dave has set up isn't especially relaxing for her -- a short holiday at a cabin in the woods, where Dave will be working on editing his latest book with the help of Melody (Iris Graham), Sam's younger and more attractive sister. As Sam watches sparks begin to fly between her sister and her husband, Harlan Pyne (Aidan Devine) and his friend Adrian (Dov Tiefenbach) break into the cabin and announce their presence by shooting Sam's pet dog. Harlan is a convicted sex offender and murderer who was placed under Sam's care in the institution and wasn't happy with the experimental treatment he received; having escaped, he and Adrian have tracked her down and decide to take revenge by forcing Sam, Melody, and Dave to participate in a series of strange and humiliating games -- at gun point. The Dark Hours was the first feature-length film from director Paul Fox, who previously distinguished himself working on a number of successful Canadian television series. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

36 Hours $16.97 In 1950, Maj. Jefferson Pike (James Garner), an Army intelligence agent who served with distinction in World War II, awakens in a hospital with severe amnesia. He isn't sure where he is, how he got there, or even who the woman at his side is, even though the doctor tells him that her name is Anna (Eva Marie Saint) and that she is his wife. The doctor instructs Pike to recall, in as much detail as possible, what he was doing before the accident that caused his traumatic memory loss. But the doctor isn't a doctor, Anna isn't Pike's wife, it isn't 1950, and he isn't in an American hospital. World War II is still very much in progress, and Pike is being duped in an elaborate scheme prepared by Maj. Walter Gerber (Rod Taylor), a German intelligence agent. Gerber is trying to trick a drugged and suggestible Pike into telling him everything he knows, as the injured soldier lies in a Bavarian military hospital after being taken prisoner. Will Pike be able to see through the cracks in Gerber's facade before he spills the beans that could mean death and defeat for American soldiers? 36 Hours was later remade for TV under the title Breaking Point. TV fans will want to keep an eye peeled for bit parts by James Doohan from Star Trek and John Banner from Hogan's Heroes. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Draw First Blood - "40 Hours" (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

How many hours or minutes of video can fit on 40 gigs?

I'm getting a 40 gig ps3 and I'm wondering approximately how many hours of video in mp4 can I fit in it?
The videos would be like youtube quality and not that big in size, about 440 by 330.

Much will depend in the image size and the resolution of the video. Full screen will take much more space than a 2x2 image. I have seen webcam videos that are a couple of frame per second and about 2x2. 40 gigs would probably play for a week.
