SHORT SYNOPSIS
MAI, a traditional ribbon dancer from the countryside, arrives to the big city of Saigon in hopes of being admitted to the national dance academy, where she meets the rebellious KIM, a hip hop dancer from a local crew. Mai enters their lives as the crew trains at the community center with their own dreams: to compete internationally in South Korea. To do so, they have to beat the national champs from Hanoi. Soon enough, Kim moves in with Mai and the two teens become kindred spirits until Kim loses in an underground battle and quits the South crew. As Mai becomes closer to Doboy, the leader of the South crew, Kim begins a fairy tale romance with Hai, a rich boy from the other side of the tracks threatens her friendship with Mai. The kids trouble mount when a hotel developer informs them that their community center will be torn down to make room for a large hotel. Now Mai and Doboy have to convince city officials to attend the Samsung competition, but first they've got to beat the North crew. Will Kim runoff to Europe with her rich new boyfriend, or will she return to her hip hop family. Will Mai find the courage to audition again for the national dance academy. Will the underdogs Saigon crew find a way to keep their community center and find victory at the big competition? SAIGON ELECTRIC is a movie that looks at the youth in modern day Vietnam, and their power to dream.

IRRI Uncovers Genetic Info on Chalky Rice
2011-07-29
In a major discovery, the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) uncovered important genetic information on what makes rice chalky - an undesirable trait that can devalue the grain by up to 25%.
The discovery could lead to higher quality "chalk-free" rice. A chalk-free rice has higher milling recovery, which means better returns for farmers.
Chalk, the white, opaque portion in rice, increases the chances of the rice grain breaking when milled. This reduces the amount of rice recovered, and downgrades the quality assessment rating of rice.

Lighting at Different Perspectives
2011-07-29
'It is better to light a candle than to curse the darkness' - this is a Chinese proverb that simply shows the importance of lighting in our lives.
As scientifically defined, light is the part of an electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the human eye and is responsible for human to be able to see. On the other hand, as the philosophers used to define, these simply represent hope in man's life. In all the movies I've watched, the actor always says, 'there's lights in darkness', which symbolizes and anticipates good future after a number of hardships.
