The protest of the despotic military junta in Burma has led to days of violence in the streets, including the death of a Japanese photographer in Yangon.
Buddhist monks, protesting the government’s disavowal of civil and human rights, led peaceful marches through the capitol city this week, backed by 100,000 civilians.
Burma’s government has responded with violence, raiding monasteries, beating monks, scattering protesters with clubs, and in at least one instance, opening fire into an unarmed crowd.

CNN caught up with VBS.tv correspondent Ryan Duffy, one of our presenters at BIFOLD: CNFLCT last month, to talk with him about his experiences with the drug Scopolamine, or “Columbian Devil’s Breath.”
As part of a series for VBS.tv, Ryan traveled to Columbia to learn firsthand if the drug people claimed turned human beings into zombies could live up to its name.
What Ryan did to get the footage for the documentary was dangerous, reckless, and makes for a great story.
CNN calls “Columbian Devil’s Breath” “a perfect fit for the wild…

It was quiet around here today. Hoarse voices. Throbbing temples. But the beat goes on. Inside.
Last night at a warehouse space called Volume in Williamsburg where Dizzee Rascal once performed on the back of a semi-truck, Dewar’s Master-Disaster DNCHRD III: VNYL put the dance party back into the hands of the people.
NYC DJs, Robot Blair, Woodman, and DJ Elhaam, went head to head in a three round turntable battle using VNYL supplied by the audience.
Upon arriving at Volume guests were given a colored plastic ball which they would use to…

VICTORY
The crowd voted with colored plastic balls, filling bins corresponding to their favorite DJ. Most of the balls ended up on the floor, however, and…
