Lesbian Movie Review: If These Walls Could Talk 2
This film was selected in our annual PlanetOut.com Movie Poll as one of the Top Ten GLBT Films of 2000!
What happens when a serious social agenda conflicts with an entertainment menu? You can watch that sordid end-of-the-line anytime you tune into World Federation Wrestling -- or, you can see the nuances unfold in this week's prestigious HBO special: "If These Walls Could Talk 2" ("ITWCT2").
In this timely morality tale we see how one celebrity dyke producer makes a movie about a population whose lives have been remarkably unrecorded, largely because everyone thought lesbians were too boring to bother.
The HBO answer to such callous disregard? Lesbian Tit! In "ITWCT2," Ellen DeGeneres shows us three lifetimes of lesbians in America with a premise that only Hollywood could dream up: a battered conscience meets beautiful breasts.
The film starts out with a strange archival collage of Jackie O, Gloria Steinem and Hillary, dovetailed with early women's libber protest parades. Famous (straight) women and no bras -- the tone is set.
Filmmaker Gregg Araki once said that he was so sick of seeing "gay films for straight people," that he decided to make a "straight films for gay people." "ITWCT2" is a classic case of the former, where themes of gay oppression and loneliness are given a cutesy-pootsy makeover in a vain attempt to support current liberal causes. I hope Ellen & Company are thrilled to look at themselves in this mirror, because their self-indulgence has backfired, benefiting their body-conscious careers at the expense of their political aims.
The conscience of the film is a vapid script, hoping to bring tears to the most clueless of straight people's hearts -- and to piss off virtually any lesbian who makes it to the end. Yet the sight of such beautiful gal celebrities making out together, without their tops on, presents a real conundrum to the lesbian viewer: is this embarrassment too physically luscious and gossip-worthy to miss? Obviously, I took the low road and watched every tacky minute.
"ITWCT2" was both timed and composed to address the March 7 election, which features anti-gay propositions such as the California Knight Initiative, one of those "You'll Never Be Married in THIS State, You Fucking Fruit" type measures. "ITWCT2" aims to provoke conservatives into reconsidering whether queer couples should have basic rights after all, like giving each other a decent funeral, or being able to get pregnant without making asses of themselves.
Yet someone at HBO had the conviction to insist that if right-wingers were going to watch a tear-jerker about homo causes, the least they could do was offer up some tantalizing flesh. Now it remains to be seen if "ITWCT2" will score at the ballot box or the Neilsen ratings. I personally don't think right-wingers will want to let girls get married after they see Chloe Sevigny and Michelle Williams suck each other's nipples -- after all, one of the primary aspects of homophobia is the fear and loathing of watching other people have fun.
"ITWCT2" consists of three vignettes, with the first story starring Vanessa Redgrave as the most serious of the trio. I would have liked to see Vanessa's lovely body as much as any of the younger actresses, but this story is clearly intended to raise the "noble" tone for the rest of the film. The drama opens in 1961, when one half of a devoted elderly couple suddenly dies from a heart attack. The survivor, Redgrave, is left to cope with the grotesque reaction of her lover's distant relatives, and her lack of rights to do anything to serve her beloved's memory.
It's curious that this tale is set in 1961, which implies that something has changed in regard to gay couples' plight; that this is a 1960s portrait of the "bad old days." The tragedies of gay lovers being pushed out of their partner's death arrangements is an issue that became overwhelming in the wake of AIDS, and as everyone knows, is as abominable today as it was any number of decades ago! The only difference nowadays is that Vanessa Redgrave would shout at the moronic hospital employees and grasping breeder relatives, "SHE'S MY WIFE!" Then they would have smiled smugly, and said, "You can say whatever you want, but you don't have a legal leg to stand on."
In solitude, Vanessa's acting -- her dignity and grief in coping with the insults that await her -- is quite affecting. The horrible visiting family is suitably horrible. Just as I was turning to my partner and saying, "If I were her, I'd slit my throat now, right in front of these bastards," the story ended, and a new scene, set in the same couple's cottage, now in 1972, begins.
If any lesbians watch this program, it's likely to be the '70s boomers who came out during this era -- just like the Hollywood dykes who made this program. Yet this second sequence is the most absurd of all: HBO taking a Brandon Teena-lite pass at the changing of the guards in the wake of the "Lavender Menace."
But this is no "Rubyfruit Jungle." Here's the plot: an adorable lesbian commune of college girls is pouting because the feminist university group they co-founded has kicked them out for raising "divisive" issues. They decide to go slumming at an "old gay bar" and one of them, played by Michelle Williams, falls for a mouth-watering bulldagger (Chloë Sevigny) who offers her a cigarette.
Michelle's roomies think Chloë is disgusting, but obviously they're just jealous ... or maybe it's only obvious to the viewing audience, because the script avoids making that point. We're given to believe that the smug hippie dykes are rejecting Chloë just because she won't wear Indian peasant drawstring tops like they do. Okay!
The attitudes and appearances of each member of this routine are pure '90s. No dyke of any age had cute layered razor cuts and hairless legs like this when I was a teenager in the '70s. We weren't "Party of Five" with a labyris. The remaining old gay bars in 1972 were not filled with fabulously suited and fedora'd butches slow-dancing to Lesley Gore. No, it was a more homely, casual, and tougher crew at the working class bars, and they were listening to the Stones' "Brown Sugar" when the women's studies students came in and demanded to turn that racist cock-rock off. The cops busted us every weekend, which leveled the playing field a bit. It was a hardcore class conflict with a feminist peppermint twist, and ultimately the new girls took over the jukebox, took over the hard drinking, and cried about it all in AA meetings 10 years later.
If you want to see a movie about the reality of coming out as a teenager, go see "All Over Me," which was set in '80s New York. But if you want to know what was happening in 1972, there still is no movie about dykes, feminists, or hippie communes that even begins to touch that period with real feeling.
Instead, you'll have to open an old newspaper and read about Nixon's reelection, the invasion of Cambodia, the massacre at Wounded Knee -- and realize that every lesbian separatist of the time was once marching on Selma, saw her brother die in Vietnam, and had been gassed/clubbed/stripped by the pigs, which was really what we called them at the time.
Contrast that context to the characters of "ITWCT2," who need even more than a weathervane to know which way the wind blows. Real '70s lesbians were naive, yes, and utterly without irony, but at that time we were also burdened with a level of tragedy in American life that ran as a continuous undercurrent to every intimate moment. Unlike Vanessa Redgrave, the actresses of "1972" can't transcend the banality of the script to breathe any authentic gesture into those moments.
The real '70s dykes who "came out" at that time were largely the result of the college-kid sense of self entitlement combined with nascent identity politics. That closet door creaking was relatively tame by today's standards; it was not the day of "Lesbian Avengers" and "Kiss Me I'm a Dyke" T-shirts. In 1979, I was fucking my lesbian women's studies professor, and she certainly wasn't public at the university -- oh no, not if she wanted to keep her job. All those workshirts and bowl haircuts we wore were our little counter-culture language; we weren't advertising it yet.
The biggest cop-out of "ITWCT2" is that it tells a story about '70s dykes without illustrating the tension of hating men, the bitter consensus against "the patriarchy," and how that passion devolved into an inner war against our own female sexuality. The movie tries to symbolize this epic battle with the appearance of Chloë's butch character, but it's only an eccentric set-up to a love story, a titillating piece of Lesbian Gothic.
Did my righteous indignation make me turn off the set just as Chloë and Michelle began to grind? No way -- these two, especially Chloë, who's already a dyke heartthrob, beautifully feed the lesbian bliss machine with their bedroom eyes and golden skin. If only they had this kind of casting for dyke porn films!
In the last vignette, Ellen DeGeneres and Sharon Stone play a contemporary couple struggling to get pregnant, from finding the right donor to hitting the perfect ovulation day. Stone mugs up a storm and DeGeneres gets antsy. Despite a few comic lines, Ellen's discomfort at having to make horny for the camera outweighs both the plot line and the lack of chemistry between she and Stone. My own private back story to this is that butches like Ellen shouldn't have to take their tops off for national television, no matter who they have chemistry with -- it's too humiliating.
Meanwhile, our yuppie couple's story of "looking for child" is likely to horrify actual alternative families. A particularly chilling scene occurs when Stone is skimming the donor lists and queries DeGeneres about whether they should pick an "ETHNIC baby." Whew! Just how bad do they want to make gay parents look? Let's squirm at the smug little bourgeois who don't even know how racist they are, going on another shopping trip, this time for an infant.
"Honey, I want one in black!"
"But sweetie, we said we'd prefer blondes!"
I don't think I want people like this to have the right to sleep comfortably at night, let alone raise children as fashion accessories.
Don't worry, I AM going to vote against the Knight Initiative, and press on for queer family rights, in spite of "If These Walls Could Talk 2." But please, next time Hollywood decides to throw the dykes a bone, tell them to come run with the pack for a day or two. I don't have a problem with a "gay movie" that straight people can understand, but must that be incompatible with something we can respect?

The Los Alamos Hilltopper hockey team remained undefeated with a big 6-1 win over the Cibolo Cougars Sunday.
Los Alamos punished Cibola goaltender Donny Templeton, putting 51 shots-on-goal in the win at Blades Ice Arena. While Templeton managed to keep Los Alamos out of the net in the first period, Los Alamos scored three times in the second and three times in the third to win 6-1.
Hilltopper Zach Mang scored a pair of goals, while Ben Havemann and Brad Picard each had a goal and an assist in the win.
The Hilltoppers (4-0-1) took 16 shots in the first period, with Templeton stopping them all. Cibola managed five shots during the opening period, but Dylan Stupka stopped all of the Cougars' attempts.
Early in the second period, Mang picked up his first goal off assists from Ben Havemann and Brad Picard to break the scoreless tie.
A short time later, Kory Archuleta sent a pass straight to Neel Gupta's stick. Gupta's goal upped the Los Alamos edge to 2-0.
Late in the second period, Marina Meneakis' wrister was redirected off the glove of John Baca, giving the Hilltoppers a 3-0 advantage.
Cibola's lone goal came at the 8:37 mark of the third period, with Cody Cordova beating Stupka off a steal.

How Much Static Does It Take?
When you feel a static shock, you are feeling the generation of 3,000 volts of electricity. You will feel the electrostatic discharge of 3,000 volts, but smaller charges can damage electronic components, and you won't even be aware that a discharge has occurred. Some more sophisticated components can be damaged by charges as low as 10 volts. You should be aware of the relative sensitivity to ESD damage of the devices you may be working on/with.
Even moving objects on your workstation can generate hundreds of volts. The amount of static electricity also depends on the humidity of the environment. Low humidity conditions such as those created when air is heated in the winter will also promote the generation of significantly high voltages which can damage components.

'FlashForward' - 'The Garden of Forking Paths' Recap
'Eureka' to Be Turned Upside Down Next Season
While they cannot yet get too specific, stars Colin Ferguson (who plays Carter) and Salli Richardson-Whitfield (who plays Allison Blake) gave AOL TV some insight into what will be coming up next season.
'Eureka' Snags 'Battlestar Galactica' Veteran
Callis will play Dr. Grant on the fourth season of the quirky sci-fi series. Grant is described as a former town resident who returns to (possibly) reignite an old romance with Allison (Salli Richardson-Whitfield) that turns life in Eureka upside down. (Sounds like the show has found yet another way to postpone the eventual Allison-Sheriff Carter hookup for another season.)
No matter how bleak it got aboard the Galactica, Callis usually managed to lighten things up with his portrayal of the scheming and selfish Gaius Baltar. I'm sure he'll fit in perfectly with the charming aww-shucks tone of 'Eureka'. He might even add an edge that is sometimes sorely missing from the show.
'Eureka' returns to Syfy with new episodes on July 9. And remember to catch Callis on 'FlashForward', which returns this week.
TV Casting: Mary Steenburgen to Star in 'Southern Discomfort'
More casting news after the jump.
On behalf of Battlestar Galactica, you suck, Emmy!
Of last year's six nominees for Drama Series, only one didn't make the cut this year. Lead Actor kept five of their six nominees as well, and Lead Actress kept all five nominees from last year. That's fifteen of 17 repeat contenders from last year in three categories. If Emmy hadn't added a slot each to Series and Actress it might have been a virtual rerun.
With all those repeats, there's no room to honor the final season of Battlestar Galactica. Maybe Emmy voters look at the shows they picked last year and say "That's still on, right? Let's go with that." And they're done picking their nominees in less than ten minutes.
New trailer for Battlestar Galactica: The Plan
"Let's get this genocide started!"
That Cavil is one evil bucket of bolts.
Sci Fi's new trailer for Battlestar Galactica: The Plan is making the rounds and drumming up anticipation for the TV movie, which premieres this fall. The Plan will portray the events of the Cylon attack on the twelve colonies through the perspective of the Cylons. It's directed by Admiral Adama himself, Edward James Olmos, and written by BSG and Warehouse 13 scribe Jane Espenson, who also helped craft the BSG Web series the Face of the Enemy.
Battlestar's James Callis returns to Sci Fi ... in one of those crappy TV movies
No, that's not Neil Young or an angry Jesus at the top of this post. It's James Callis as Merlin. Yes, the Merlin from Camelot.
Battlestar Galactica's Gaius Baltar returns to the Sci Fi Channel this week in Book of Beasts, one of the network's famously craptastic TV movies. Battlestar fans might want to program their DVRs for this one. Callis plays the gravelly-voiced heroic lead, the movie is indeed set in Camelot, and the director has been quoted comparing it to Braveheart! All that plus a heavy amount of booze should make for a great Saturday night for any BSG nerd/Callis fan.
Battlestar Galactica - Comic-Con Report
After a log day of being in Hall H and Ballroom 20, things started to come to an end for the busiest day of the 'Con with the Battlestar Galactica panel. Basically, if didn't already have your arse planted in a seat in Ballroom 20 for that panel, you weren't getting to see BSG. I'm either completely dedicated to the coverage for TV Squad or a complete fanboy for the show. I submit that I'm likely both.
I'm not going to post the full, detailed report yet, as Sci Fi has told me we'll have embeddable video to show you soon (here it is on SciFI.com). Seriously, there's no way I can put to justice the funny job that Kevin Smith did as moderator -- you have to see and hear it for yourself. I will, however, submit to you the highlights for now.
Comic-Con Countdown: You ask Sci Fi the questions, we deliver
- Stargate: Atlantis (Joe Flanigan, Robert Picardo, Brad Wright, Jewel Staite, Chris Sanagustin)
- Sanctuary (Amanda Tapping, Martin Wood, Robin Dunne)
- Battlestar Galactica (Tricia Helfer, James Callis, Katee Sackhoff, Michael Trucco, Ron Moore, David Eick)
- Eureka (Colin Ferguson, Sallie Richardson-Whitfield , Joe Morton, Jamie Paglia, Charlie Craig, Tony Optican)
- Ghost Hunters (Robb Demarest)
Use the comment form below to submit your questions and we'll give the best ones to the moderator to ask. We'll post the answers to those questions and others as soon as we can get to a WiFi hotspot and post away. You've got until this Thursday morning to send in your questions, so ask away!
What Jen is thankful for
TV male eye candy (Jen's Three)
Here are my three. Well, I suppose you get a big clue as to one of them right here and now, but I couldn't resist putting up this photo. Yum! You will notice that my tastes don't run strictly to candy: I have someone who is not quite human; a self-admitted asshole; and an arrogant coward. Come to think about it, you could apply these descriptions to all three of my guys, but I love 'em anyway!
Battlestar Galactica: Dirty Hands
(S03E16) I have to be honest, I have no experience at all with unions, how they work or what it's like being involved in one. Even so, it wasn't difficult to feel something for workers who'd have to endure what the Tylium crew had to deal with for so long.
Usually an episode like this would leave me well disappointed, as there wasn't anything significantly advancing the story. I realize now, with the help of several commenters, that it's episodes like this that are working to help us get a deeper understanding of what's going on with the humans on these ships and especially with the main players.
Will Admiral Adama please speak up, because I can't hear you!
I thoroughly enjoy Battlestar Galactica. I feel that the special effects (when shown) are fantastic, the scripts are well-written, and the characters are all multi-dimensional. I have especially been enjoying this season, and I have yet to miss an episode. That being said, I do have one tiny issue with the show . . .
I can't hear a frakking word they're saying!
I have never seen a show with so many low talkers. They speak quietly everywhere: crew quarters, active hanger bays, planet-side. They even speak softly in crowded, noisy bars (as seen in this week's episode). I am constantly raising and lowering the volume on my TV just to catch a fragment of what they're saying. It's almost like I'm watching a British sitcom! Now I know why this show hasn't been nominated for any type of award. It's because the judges get so frustrated adjusting the volume up and down that they just give up and turn off the TV.

Madison, N.C. – In 1908, John D. Pedersen was issued a patent for his unique pump shotgun design. That same year, Pedersen began his long-standing relationship with Remington and the first Remington pump-action shotgun – the Model 10™ was introduced. Other slide-action designs followed including the Model 17™ in 1921 – the first Remington 20-gauge pump shotgun; and then the Model 29™closely followed by its replacement two years later – the Model 31™ which remained in production until 1949. Remington's long-standing history of delivering dependable pump-action shotguns was solidified with the introduction of the Model 870 shotgun in 1950 which continues in production today. To recognize this historic benchmark in firearms history – Remington is proud to introduce the Model 870 Wingmaster 100th Anniversary Commemorative Edition in 12 gauge.
The venerable Model 870 shotgun, with nearly 10 million produced and sold to date, is still the standard by which all other shotguns are measured. This limited edition, one-year only offering of the Model 870 Wingmaster features fine line embellishments on both sides of the receiver and on the left side, the centennial logo is emblazed with gold. "100 Years of Remington Pump Shotguns" banner and flushing pheasant encased with the anniversary years 1908 – 2008 is gold-inlayed onto the contrasting, high polish blued finish. A striking gold-plated trigger complements the inlayed logo.
In honoring our storied past, we didn't stop with enhancing just the metalwork on this finely-crafted gun. Further setting this commemorative edition apart is the solid American walnut stock and fore-end, constructed from "B" Grade wood and finished with a classic high-gloss sheen. Both stock and fore-end also feature our nostalgic fleur-de-lis checkering.
This Model 870 pump-action features the same proven twin-action bar design that has made this shotgun so popular for its flawless feeding, extraction and ejection. The receiver is machined from a single block of solid steel and can reliably handle light 23/4 to magnum 3-inch loads. The hammer-forged, carbon steel 28-inch vent rib Rem® Choke barrel is supplied with three standard choke tubes – Improved Cylinder, Modified and Full.
One hundred years of leading the industry with innovative, pump-action designs is worth celebrating and the finely-crafted and handsomely-embellished Model 870 Wingmaster 100th Anniversary shotgun is worthy of the honor.

Access to new drugs in Canada has been slower than in other countries for decades. Life-extending oncology drugs are particularly difficult to obtain. In response to this difficulty, the pan-Canadian Oncology Drug Review (pCODR) was established to assess the clinical and cost-effectiveness information of new oncology drugs. Yet the pCODR has acted slowly to rate these drugs, thus delaying access to them. An organization dedicated to reviewing new oncology drugs, which requires resources from the taxpayer and additional effort from pharmaceutical companies, adds little benefit to the healthcare system or to the quality and duration of the lives of cancer patients if its activities do not lead to improvements in the timeliness and fairness of access to new oncology drugs.

Grandma Flaxel's Crispy Fried Oysters
"I eat a lot of oysters, but my grandma's recipe, which we make every Christmas, is still my favorite. I credit that to the way the oysters are breaded in crushed saltines, then chilled before being fried. It gives them a clean taste, and they fry up super dry and crisp." —Alex Grossman, creative director

I don't eat no Meat. ~ Dead Prez {Vegan Hip Hop video}
True Wealth comes from Good Health an'Wise Ways
With thanks for the tip to Tom Frascone, our newest Elephant (see members at left)…
…it's Vegan Hip Hop:
I don't eat no meat, no dairy, no sweets
only ripe vegetables, fresh fruit and whole wheat
I'm from the old school, my household smell like soul food, bro
curried falafel, barbecued tofu
no fish though, no candy bars, no cigarettes
only ganja and fresh-squeezed juice from oranges
exercising daily to stay healthy
and I rarely drink water out the tap, cause it's filthy
Lentil soup is mental fruit
and ginger root is good for the yout'
Fresh veg-e-table with the mayatl stew
sweet yam fries with the green calalloo
careful how you season and prepare your foods
cause you don't wanna lose vitamins and miner-ules
and that's the jewel
life brings life, it's valuable, so I eat what comes
from the ground, it's natural
let your food be your medicine (uh huh)
no Excederin (uh uh)
strictly herb, generate in the sun, cause I got melanin
and drink water, eight glasses a day
cause that's what they say
They say you are what you eat, so I strive to be healthy
my goal in life is not to be rich or wealthy
cause true wealth comes from good health, and wise ways
we got to start taking better care of ourselves
They say you are what you eat, so I strive to be healthy
my goal in life is not to be rich or wealthy
cause true wealth comes from good health, and wise ways
we got to start taking better care of ourselves, be

Ahaha f*** yeah! Sadly I am only a vegetarian but this is seriously awesome and genius! No better way to convey a point or view than to put it into music.
Sade is always a good look, but I simply can't get with Consequence.

No going back
More than 600 residents of Gaza were unable to visit their relatives over the past week, go to conferences or buy merchandise. Why is this cause for concern?

Export from Gaza: Frequently asked questions.
Over the past few days, the question of whether sale of goods from Gaza will be allowed has seemed more relevant than ever following the reported rise in tomato prices (Hebrew); the response of the Israeli Vegetable Growers Association that it does not oppose the marketing of tomatoes from the Gaza Strip in Israel, and; the end of the season for agricultural export from the Gaza Strip to Europe. We decided to try and provide some answer to the main questions on the topic. Continue reading

Militants Fire, Civilians Are Punished
The firing of rockets and mortar shells on towns in southern Israel from the Gaza Strip last week should be categorically condemned, since it targeted Israeli civilians or failed to distinguish between military and civilian targets. The perpetrators and the Hamas government which allows militant groups to fire from the territory under its control must be held accountable. The Israeli Defense Ministry's hasty response, however, declaring that Kerem Shalom would be closed until further notice, raised concern among those trying to transfer humanitarian supplies to Gaza.

iWatch In Trial Production At Quanta
Reuters reports that the Apple iWatch will move into,production at Quanta in July.
The commercial launch of the iWatch will be in October, says Reuters.
The screen is said to be 2.5 inches on the diagonal and protrudes slightly from the band.
The interface will be touch and the charging will be wireless.
Messaging and voice will require a paired iPhone. The iWatch will only be compatible with devices running iOS.
Apple is said to be planning to ship 50 million of the devices in the 12 months after launch. Quanta is said to be responsible for 70 % of the production.
Smart watches have been launched by Samsung, Sony, Motorola and LG with little market success.

David, it might just be me, but i cant bring myself to talk to inanimate objects in public. Although i quite like the thought that next time my flight is delayed, i would be treated to a mass of business people all shouting down their sleeves trying to work out what they should do next!
June 23, 2014 12:47
The best watch I had (and still have, as a backup to when my current one breaks, see later) was a Casio Illuminator which had an electroluminescent backlight, so you could read it in the dark. It was nice and easy to read and only had one button: to set the time. I bought it in 1996 and have only changed the battery twice in that time – cost a couple of quid at Maplin. Oh and it was waterproof to 200m, not that I took it much past 30m.
I foolishly went for a Tissot Touch a few years ago, well at 10x the price you'd think it would be better? No. It doesn't have a second hand and has no backlight, just dimly luminous hands that aren't bright enough to see at night. It has a small digital display which further clutters up the display, but I can't read it without my glasses. And it has all sorts of features that I've never used, like telling me how high I am (in an altitude sense), what the weather is (so I don't have to look out the window), an alarm I've never figured out how to use, a stopwatch (ditto), a compass (ditto) and a thermometer, which requires you taking the watch off for 30 mins, how very useful. Oh, and after 18 months it broke down, and I had to send it back for (albeit free) repair.
So I remain to be convinced by 'smart' watches. I wonder if the iWatch is waterproof?
June 21, 2014 08:01
So with such a watch I can save another 1 second of my response time to a phone call or email? Sorry but I don't see the killer app for this. I certainly don't want to worry about the 'battery life' of my watch … I am used to a battery life of about 2 years …
The best watch ever made (in my opinion) is the Timex Ironman, but sadly the version I like is no longer available.
I think that the iOS limitation would definitely hold it back, just like the iPod would have been far less successful without Windows support.

Marine claims self-defense in murder of a womanUPDATED 10:22 PM HST Apr 23, 2014
Nathaniel Cosby took the stand today in his Court Martial and admitted to killing a woman he slept with but is claiming self defense.Video Transcript
with but is claiming self defense. Good evening, I'm Kenny Choi. And I'm Yunji de Nies.. Master Sergeant Nathaniel Cosby demonstrated in a military court today what he says went down on the night that Ivanice Harris was killed. KITV4's Brenton Awa has tonights top story... Nearly a year after the disappearance of Ivanice Harris... Her killer -- Nathaniel Cosby took the stand today in his General Court Martial. One of the first questions the Defense asked was... FS "DID YOU MURDER MS. HARRIS? NO SIR I DID NOT." Cosby said he'd been drinking for 10-hours on the night he met Harris at Kelly Oneills in Waikiki but only recalled the event after seeing himself on video-surveillance footage. His memory appeared to be spotty until the two made it back to Cosby's hotel room where he remembers falling asleep in bed. That's when Cosby says Harris started to get upset -- saying... FS "SHE WAS TELLING ME I NEEDED TO GET UP AND PAY HER." THE DEFENSE ASKED -- PAY HER FOR WHAT..AND COSBY REPLIED... FS "AT THE TIME I DIDN'T KNOW. I WAS CONFUSED ... I JUST KEPT ASKING HER WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT." He then realized Harris was a prostitute and that's when things escalated -- Cosby says he told her to leave and the two started yelling and exchanging words ... saying... FS "AT THAT POINT IT WAS A FIGHT." Cosby says Harris cut his arm with a lipstick knife. That's when he decided to get a hold of the weapon. He says he grabbed her wrist with one hand -- got behind her and put his other arm around her neck... saying... FS "IT WAS CHAOS. SHE'S KICKING, SHE'S KICKING ME AND I'M TRYING TO HOLD ON... I WAS TRYING TO SUBMIT HER." Cosby says his eyes were covered in his own blood from a cut to his head. He couldn't see but let go of Harris when she stopped fighting. The marine started to cry in court today when recalling the point he realized Harris had died.. saying... FS "I PANICKED, I WAS LOST, I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO." Cosby admits to driving Harris's body out near Yokohama Bay and dumping it. He also admitted to going into hiding. Saying he later cleaned his hotel room and checked out early -- only to find another hotel to wait out the days until he was supposed to leave the island. While cosby says he didn't murder harris he did admit to killing her but says he didn't mean to. Closing arguments for this trial will start at 830 tomorrow morning at the Marine Corps Base Hawaii. Following that the jury will deliberate until they reach a verdict.

Do you have balance in your professional career and personal life? I am not sure I do. From my discussion with other colleagues, I believe most of you do not either.
One of the reasons I became a podiatrist was to have a "normal" lifestyle but that has never seemed to materialize. I have always had a good work ethic but why does a good work ethic still seem to create an unbalanced life? As we start a new year and I enter my 21st year of practice, I am going to strive to find better balance in my life. I hope this provokes you to consider the balance in your life.
It is clear in today's environment that we must work harder and longer to earn the same amount as we did in the 1990s and early 2000s. Clearly, the harder and smarter one works, the higher the income potential. Each individual's income requirement often dictates how much one needs to work. How many patients do you need to see in a day to make the income you desire? How many patients are too many for one practitioner to see in a single day before it becomes a "cattle call" — herding patients in and out without giving them much time?
I am not overly talkative with patients. I tend to be pretty direct and to the point. However, sometimes even I feel rushed with the patient and I can only imagine how the patient feels.
In addition to actual patient care, the paperwork that goes with it adds disorder. Charting is my biggest albatross. I am sure it is for many of you as well. I try to chart as I see patients but this often falls wayward as the number of patients increases through the day. I am then left with charting at the end of the day. I delay the time I get home or chart in the evening, which takes my attention away from my home life. I have yet to find a workable solution to this problem but it is on my radar.
Your level of practice involvement also dictates time and effort requirements. If you own a private practice as I do, you have to put considerable time into the management of the practice even with an outstanding staff assisting you (as I have). Therefore, the time spreadsheet continues to pile hours on the work side, taking away from the home and self categories.
One of the best ways to manage your work time is to set up a calendar at the beginning of each year allowing for vacation days, practice management days, staff training days, catch-up days (i.e. charting) and strategic planning days. You must fully devote these days to the task at hand and nothing else, or they will be a waste of time. Yes, you will lose some patient days but this time will be well worth it as it will make your practice stronger and more efficient.
When it comes to vacation days, you must allow time to recharge your batteries or you will burn out. Planning your vacation days strategically at the beginning of the year provides you with something to look forward to during the daily grind of practice.
Part of any well-rounded professional career involves contributing your time and knowledge back to your profession. Often, many practitioners cut this task to try to reclaim balance in their lives. This is short sighted and selfish. For your profession and your career to prosper, you must be involved with your professional associations to some extent.
On the professional side of the ledger, some practitioners will cut continuing education. This is ludicrous. You must set time aside for both journal reading and conferences. If you are not keeping up to date, you are falling behind and doing your patients a disservice.
Another component to a well-rounded professional career is volunteering. You can do something as little as one hour per month locally or as generous as an extended period in a different country. Whatever type of volunteer work you do will provide you with a sense of inner peace, joy and happiness. It is time well invested.
What about the self side of the spreadsheet? I know early in my career I neglected my health. This is the exact opposite of what one needs to do to be the most productive they can be. I started exercising more regularly but exercise is often the easiest thing to cut out when time is limited. This is a big mistake. You have to be in the best physical condition possible to be the most efficient and on top of your career.
The best way to handle this is to hold yourself accountable to someone who will call you out if you are not doing what you said you would do. I have signed up to run a full marathon (I ran two half marathons last summer). I use an application on my phone to track my training runs and then post it to Facebook. This keeps me accountable to several people to maintain my training program.
The other component to taking care of yourself physically is to watch you are eating. I often found myself eating junk food in the car on the way to my next scheduled clinic or surgery. You must make time to sit down and eat healthy meals, paying attention to what you are eating. We all know what we should eat but eating consciously takes effort and discipline.
Another significant component to physical well-being is rest. I know this is one of my weakest links. I often do not get enough sleep. One cannot debate the importance of a proper amount of sleep. Try to get a set amount of sleep each night based on when you have to get up the next morning.
Be sure not to neglect the mental aspect. Are you continuing to learn outside of your profession? Do you read? Are you challenging yourself to learn new things? You have to do these things to stay mentally sharp. I listen to audiobooks while driving or running, which is a significant amount each day. I also try to find a few minutes a day to read something non-professional.
Spirituality for many people is a very important component of their life. If this is true in your case, you must devote some time and effort to it as well.
The final component of balance is home life and your relationships. Do you spend quality time with significant others, children, other family members and friends? Starting with your significant other, communication is vital to the expectations of your professional and personal life. A great starting point is agreeing on some type of balanced schedule. You must put in the effort and time with relationships to make them sustainable. It is easy to take those we love the most for granted. Do not make this mistake.
So how does one attain this type of balance with a finite number of hours in a day, week, month and year? I have come to realize with experience and the wisdom from several different authors that having an organized, structured plan for your life is essential. You have to live consciously and not passively. A balanced life needs a definite plan with goals.
Plan your schedule accordingly to allow time for each of the previously mentioned components in a balanced life. Do not take from one category to provide more time to another category on a regular basis. Stay on course with your plan.
To paraphrase Albert Einstein, the definition of insanity is to continue doing the same thing and expect a different outcome. I hope reading this helps you reflect on the balance in your life. If need be, make the changes necessary to restore balance between your professional and personal worlds. Best wishes and stay diligent.

Batman #1 sells in private sale for $850,000
Heritage Auctions has been very busy lately with a slew of rare and in good condition comic books that have sold for a large amount of money. The most recent is a CGC-graded 9.2 copy of Batman #1 that sold in a private transaction for $850,000.
"It's amazing that three years ago, no comic book had ever sold for even half that amount," said Ed Jaster, Vice President of Heritage Auctions, which brokered the sale. "Heritage is holding a $4+ million comics and comic art auction in Dallas May 10-11. Many collectors and dealers will be watching to see how Golden Age comics perform there."
I think I need to win the lottery jackpot this weekend…

Cree bulb has low-med-high at the flick of a switch
Cree has introduced a three-intensity, selected by flicking the wall switch, LED replacement for incandescent bulbs.
Called '3-Way Cree', the firm says it has "three light levels distinctly visible to the naked eye".
That said, the values are 3, 8 or 18W (320, 820 or 1,620 lm – which it equates to 30, 60 and 100W).
Form my experience, I think it has missed a trick here – these values are noticable, but are only 1:2 steps in power which will be perceived as less due to the eye's log(ish) response.
At least 1:4, imho, would be better – 6, 25, 100W equiv – far more useful in the home – but would not look so good to the uninitiated when buying in a well-lit shop (retail store to US readers).
Switch flicking is a great way to change bulb intensity – simple to implement in existing infrastucture and not consuming vampire power.
Although it is probably not so great for multiple bulb installations if they get out of synch.

Seems like a neat concept and avoids some of the compatibility issues associated with dimming. The power steps are roughly 2 to 1, so the eye should notice a difference. Granted, it's not going to look like a lot, but when making the sudden change from one level to the next, it should be visible.
Given that 3 way incandescent bulbs have existed for many decades, one would assume that Cree tried to make the power steps similar to the incandescent 3 way bulbs.
I wonder if the bulbs could be programmed to power up at either high power or low power?? That would be pretty slick!

Is it possible to display icons besides Foobar2000's context menu entries in Windows 7 Explorer's rightclick menu? For other applications it's as easy as adding a "Icon=blah.exe" string in the application's HKCR\Directory\Shell\ entry. With Foobar2000 however it won't work. I've also tried various other keys in the registry, but no icons will show up for FB2K.
For reference, this is what I mean:

This should be a standard in programms of the new millennium.
foobar2000 would be more usable and menues are more clear with icons, less searching required.
But it seems foobar2000 stands still in the look of Windows 1.0
Every free player has a better "look and feel" in menues.
Sorry, but this must be said.

How America became a nation of freelancers
How America became a nation of freelancers:
According to the Labor Department, employers often misclassify independent contractors as employees, locking misclassified freelancers out of benefits like tax write-offs for health insurance that they're already paying for, all by themselves. For freelancers, it's much, much harder to qualify for a loan, refinance their mortgage or, if they're underwater on their homes, to find relief from loan modification programs.
I know a woman who was told, off the record, that the company that was considering hiring her would only do so on a contract basis – they didn't want to take on the expense of hiring her because of her considerable medical bills. (She didn't get the job.) Another associate thought he'd hit pay dirt with a high-paying, full-time salaried position at a big-name software company. But then, suddenly – right as he was ready to sign the paperwork – they rescinded their offer. Instead, they told him that they could only offer him a contract position on a project-by-project basis.
If this is how our economy is now organized, then we need safety nets for independent workers. And we need to start by acknowledging, as a nation, that while it's all very good to talk about job creation, for many of us, a regular 9-to-5 gig is no longer a reality. Work has changed; the American worker is changing. Old-school labor paradigms no longer fit.
[ Where's the thinking about this, rather than trying to recreate old style manufacturing jobs? And while we're on the topic, small is the new big. Individuals manufacturing custom stuff is alive and kicking, and should become much more commonplace. As it once was. Things were lost in the rush to the assembly line.]
Dr.Brendan | The iphone Doc
During the short visit at our apartment, I learned that Dr.Brendan since has moved his business out of his living-room and opened two stores. And not only that, he has a whole army employees and they now also fix Macs. I was thrilled to hear that as my 2.5 year old iMac at work was giving me a hard time. Tony, a Dr.Brendan employee, came to promptly pick it up the next day and conveniently brought it back a few days later, fixed. Pick-up and drop-off? Yes, please!
Dr.Brendan and his team not only fix iPhones but now also repair pretty much any Apple device, do data recovery, help you set up your network and much more.
I can't praise Brendan and his team enough. Go check out his site. And if you live either in the East Village or Park Slope, drop by their shop. And no worries, if you don't live in NYC, you can ship your patient to Dr.Brendan.
[Cool story.]

Honeywell sues Nest for patent infringement
Honeywell sues Nest for patent infringement:
Honeywell makes crappy, ugly thermostats. They're the market leader, but they've been sitting on their asses, not doing much. So thermostat innovation and design has been pretty stagnant for years.
Nest's is by far the most innovative thermostat we've seen for a long time, but it looks like they're going to have a lot of problems with these Honeywell patents, which will probably impair (or, at worst, prevent) them from pushing this stagnant industry forward.
Remind me again how the patent system promotes innovation.

Next Phase of Commercials
I predict that in a few years from now we'll start to see 4.5-minute length commercial shorts that come after the extended-play version. Or maybe even "directors' cut" versions. These outright unabashed commercials will run as long as a pop hit tune, and in format resemble a music video. We'll see YouTube-ish channels that will charge you to watch them. I make this forecast based on the fact that this prime attention-niche is just one adjacent-possible step away.
[I rate this a very likely.]

Decoration is best, except when it isn't
Decoration is best, except when it isn't:
Decoration and module extension are both viable ways to compose objects in Ruby. Which to use is not a simple black-or-white choice; it depends on the purpose of the composition.
For applications where you want to adorn an object with some extra functionality, or modify how it presents itself, a decorator is probably the best bet. Decorators are great for creating Presenters, where we just want to change an object's "face" in a specific context.
On the other hand, when building up a composite object at runtime object out of individual "aspects" or "facets", module extension may make more sense. Judicious use of module extension can lead to a kind of "emergent behavior" which is hard to replicate with decoration or delegation.

Apple Adds High-DPI Versions of Pointers in OS X 10.7.3:
Screenshot from FinerThingsIn.com
DaringFireball notes several changes in some of the icons found in OS X 10.7.3. Several of our readers had also noticed the small changes in pointer icons in the latest version. It seems the changes run a bit deeper than on first glance. The new icons apparently come in high DPI versions that allow them to scale at high resolutions.
Have you noticed that Safari's hovering-over-a-link pointing-finger cursor looks a little different in Mac OS X 10.7.3? It's not just that the finger is at a slightly different angle — it's a new UI resource that scales gracefully to larger sizes. That's not the only new high-DPI image resource in 10.7.3: the grabby hand in Mail, the camera cursor for selecting an individual window to take a screenshot of, and a few other UI elements got the high-DPI treatment in 10.7.3.

By LES BOWENSun Advocate reporter
The March 12 shooting of a robbery suspect on U.S. Highway 6 by a Utah Highway Patrol trooper is believed to be an accident, according to information released by the Carbon County Sheriff's Office on Tuesday.
Reports indicate the shooting occurred near milepost 258 on U.S. 6 on Sunday evening after law enforcement pursued two individuals in a high-speed chase from Green River.
According to Emery County Sheriff Lamar Guymon, the incident began at the Comfort Inn in Green River. Auddie Barnes, the driver of a green and gray Chevrolet Blazer, reportedly stopped at the hotel.
Guymon said the hotel clerk was outside the front entrance and entered the building with Barnes.
Barnes reportedly brandished a weapon and demanded the money in the register, a sum of $245. Reports indicate that armed robbery suspect then left the hotel.
The clerk followed Barnes into the parking lot while calling 911 and gave public safety dispatch a description of the male subject and the SUV.
A passenger inside the vehicle, John Gourno, did not exit the Blazer at the hotel, according to reports.
Both of the occupants traveling inside the SUV were identified by law enforcemement officers as 29-year-old residents of Ohio.
An Emery County sheriff's deputy arrived at the hotel within minutes of the call, said Guymon.
In addition, the public safety dispatch center issued an attempt to locate on a vehicle matching the description.
Reports indicate that the suspects headed east from the hotel. The SUV then purportedly turned west onto Interstate 70, taking the westbound U.S. 6 exit toward Price.
Approximately one mile from the interstate, UHP Trooper Greg Funk spotted the vehicle. The UHP officer ran the plates of the vehicle, which resulted in a report that the vehicle was stolen from Indiana.
Given that the vehicle met the description given in the attempt to locate, and that the plates were listed as stolen, Funk reportedly initiated a traffic stop. According to Guymon, the driver did not stop and engaged the trooper in a high speed chase. Shortly afterward, two other troopers joined the chase along with an Emery County sheriff deputy.
During the chase, the weapon reportedly used in the alleged robbery was thrown from the vehicle. Emery County law enforcement recovered the weapon Tuesday.
While the pursuit continued toward Price, law enforcement prepared to stop the vehicle using spike strips approximately two miles east of Sunnyside Junction. However, before crossing the spike strips, the suspects reportedly stopped.
Five state troopers and two Adult Probation and Parole officers were on the scene, each with weapons drawn, according to Carbon County Sheriff James Cordova, who said the Emery County Sheriff was not yet on the scene, but arrived shortly after the stop.
The ensuing officers stopped behind the suspects and readied for a felony traffic stop, said Cordova. The driver of the vehicle was reportedly ordered out of the vehicle by officers. Barnes complied, exiting the Blazer and walking backwards toward troopers. Cordova said he was cuffed and secured within a vehicle.
At that point, Gourno was ordered to exit the vehicle. The Carbon County sheriff said he complied with the order. While Gourno was walking backwards toward officers, a distance of approximately 20 feet, a shot was reportedly fired by Trooper Ed Bentley from his M-14 rifle.
"With all the facts we have reviewed, it appears the shot was accidental," said Cordova, whose agency investigated the shooting. He said that the investigation was lacking one interview on Wednesday, but that video tapes from troopers' vehicles and several interviews had been reviewed. Cordova will submit the final results of the investigation to the Carbon County attorney for review.
Gourno was treated at Castleview Hospital in Price and flown by helicopter to the University of Utah Medical Center. He is reported to be in stable condition.
Barnes was initially detained at the Carbon County jail, but was later booked into jail in Emery County. Law enforcement officials indicated that the both individuals have extensive criminal histories.
An internal investigation is being performed by the Department of Public Safety. Meanwhile, Bentley is on paid administrative leave pending the results of the investigations into the shooting.
Guymon said that as of Wednesday morning, there was no indication that the two individuals taken into custody were involved in any crimes between Indiana, where the alleged vehicle theft occurred, and Green River. However, he said that it is not ruled out at this point.
