CHAPTER TWO-Brideshead Revisited
TOWARDS the end of that summer term I received the last visit and Grand Remonstrance of my cousin Jasper. I was just free of the schools, having taken the last paper of History Previous on the afternoon before; Jasper’s subfuse suit and white tie proclaimed him still in the thick of it; he had, too, the exhausted but resentful air of one who fears he has failed to do himself full justice on the subject of Pindar’s Orphism. Duty alone had brought him to my rooms, that afternoon at great inconvenience to himself and, as it happened, to me, who, when he caught me in the door, was on my way to make final arrangements about a dinner I was giving that evening.

LeAnn Rimes with a Balenciaga Purse
A Balenciaga replica designer handbags paired along with sweats and flip-flops? The particular thought of it alone is currently odd, and seeing it in genuine life (or rather in picture) worn by a lovely crooner is surely not appealing. And yes were talking about LeAnn Rimes here seeing as she was spotted along with this kind of an ensemble.
Her sloppy sweats are in a quite dull shade too, producing it sloppier, and finishing it along with flip flops is like youre out within your backyard. Nevertheless hey, its kind of smart to match her rather dull getup along with an lovable Balenciaga Louis Vuitton Monogram Mini Lin.
Well, although the very idea sounds good, seeing it is actually not. Her petite Balenciaga carrier is surely fabulous and needless to say, a celebrity choice; yet still, it doesnt complement her getup.
Im not sure whats along with LeAnn Rimes here, yet we know she can dress better. Lets just hope shed give justice to her Balenciaga tote the very next time shell carry it.

Ko-li-la-wato: Alanis Obomsawi Ko-li-la-wato: Alanis Obomsawin
- From: GeniusInMotion

Description:
Alanis Obomsawin, a member of the Abenaki Nation, is one of Canada’s most distinguished documentary filmmakers. Her latest National Film Board production, Our Nationhood (2003), chronicles the determination and tenacity of the Listuguj Mi'gmaq people to use and manage the natural resources of their traditional lands. The Mi’gmaq of Esgenoopetitj (Burnt Church), New Brunswick were the subject of her 2002 documentary, Is the Crown at war with us? (2002), a powerful and painstakingly researched look at the conflict over fishing rights.Ms Obomsawin began her career as a singer, writer and storyteller, but dove into filmmaking in 1967 with Christmas at Moose Factory, which she wrote and directed. Since then, Obomsawin has made over 20 uncompromising documentaries on issues affecting Aboriginal people in Canada. The 2000 NFB release Rocks at Whiskey Trench was Obomsawin's fourth film in her series about the 1990 Oka crisis. The first, Kanehsatake 270 Years of Resistance (1993), was a feature-length film documenting the 1990 Mohawk uprising in Kanehsatake and Oka, which has won 18 international awards. It was followed by My name is Kahentiiosta (1995), a film about a young Kahnawake Mohawk woman who was arrested after the 78-day armed standoff, and Spudwrench – Kahnawake Man (1997), profiling Randy Horne, a high-steel worker from the Mohawk community of Kahnawake. Alanis Obomsawin was born in New Hampshire on Abenaki Territory. When she was 6 months old, her mother returned to the Odanak reservation northeast of Montreal where Alanis lived until she was 9. As a child, Théophile Panadis, her mother’s cousin, initiated her into the history of the Abenaki nation and taught her many songs and legends. Obomsawin and her parents then left Odanak for Trois Rivières, where they were the only Native family. Cut off, speaking little French and no English, Obomsawin held fast to the songs and stories she had learned on the reservation.
In 1960, Obomsawin made her professional debut as a singer in New York City. In 1967, NFB producers Joe Koenig and Bob Verrall saw Obomsawin on TV. They invited the singer/storyteller to the Film Board to work as an advisor on a film about Aboriginal people. Obomsawin went on to direct films of her own, while continuing to perform and fight for justice for her people. For 31 years, Obomsawin has directed documentaries at the NFB with strong social content, inspired by the desire to let the voices of her people be heard. In 1983, she was made a member of the Order of Canada, in recognition of her dedication to the well-being of her people and the preservation of the First Nations’ heritage through her filmmaking and activism. Obomsawin’s films include: Incident at Restigouche (1984), a powerful depiction of the Quebec police raid of a Micmac reserve; Richard Cardinal: Cry from a Diary of a Métis Child (1986), the disturbing examination of an adolescent suicide, and No Address (1988), a look at Montreal’s homeless.
As a singer/songwriter, Obomsawin has toured Canada, the United States and Europe performing for humanitarian causes in universities, museums, prisons and art centres, as well as at folk art festivals. Her 1988 album Bush Lady features traditional songs of the Abenaki people, as well as original compositions.In March 2001, Obomsawin received the Governor General’s Award in Visual and Media Arts. An Officer of the Order of Canada, Obomsawin’s many honours also include the Toronto Women in Film and Television’s (TWIFT) Outstanding Achievement Award in Direction, the Canadian Native Arts Foundation National Aboriginal Achievement Award, and the Outstanding Contributions Award from the Canadian Sociology and Anthropology Association (CSAA). The latter marks the first time that the CSAA has honoured someone who is not an academic in the field of sociology and anthropology.
Obomsawin also received a fellowship from the Ontario College of Art, an Honorary Doctor of Letters from York University, an Honorary Doctor of Laws from Concordia University and an Honorary Doctor of Literature from Carleton University. She has taught at the Summer Institute of Film and Television in Ottawa.
Obomsawin formerly chaired the Board of Directors of the Native Women’s Shelter of Montreal, and sat on the Canada Council’s First People’s Advisory Board. She was also a board member of Studio 1, the NFB’s Aboriginal studio, and a former advisor to the New Initiatives in Film, a Studio D program for women of colour and women of the First Nations. As a member of the Board of Aboriginal Voices, she was part of an initiative to obtain a radio licence for the organization. She currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Aboriginal Peoples Television Network and for the Public Broadcasting System (PBS) in Vermont.
Alanis Obomsawin's films have won dozens of major international awards, and have been seen on television and at festivals around the world. In 1983, she was named a member of the Order of Canada, the country's highest honour.
As a mark of affection, her people call her Ko-li-la-wato - "someone who makes us very happy".

You Be The Judge: Sonia Maria You Be The Judge: Sonia Maria Sotomayor Associate Justice of US Supreme Court
- From: GeniusInMotion
-
Description:
Well some may say that the newly confirmed Associate Justice Sonya Sotomayor has nothing to do with the Television and Film Industry but we beg to differ. Just think back a little to the headlines “President Barack Obama, First African American President of the Unites States of America.” A variation of this proclamation as you know dominated headlines and graced the cover of ever major and not-so-major publication as well television screen. Remember the adage “Art imitating life”? Well, if you believe that art imitates life, then the evolution of life as we know it will have a major effect on what is created. Yes, we’ve already seen Dennis Haysbert as president in David Palmer’s “24” but just recently renown actor Edward James Olmos was seen as judge Roberto Mendoza, a Supreme Court hopeful, in episodes of the West Wing. Although this is just one example I’m sure we can look at a myriad of movies and television shows that are either based or loosely based on true-life stories. Therefore, it’s important that when looking at the film and television industry we acknowledge the effect that every discipline and industry has on the way images are shaped and portrayed. Now the preverbal “green light” that seems to quickly turn red when certain aspects of life seek to merge with art is another story. Yet the stories are being made and becoming more and more mainstream. Perhaps there is much more to be accomplished before marginalization comes to an end?
A Journey Supreme:
On May 26, 2009, President Barack Obama nominated Sotomayor for appointment to the U.S. Supreme Court to replace retired Justice David Souter. Her nomination was confirmed by the United States Senate on August 6, 2009, by a vote of 68–31, and she was sworn in by Chief Justice John Roberts on August 8. Sotomayor is the Court's 111th justice, its first Hispanic justice, and its third female justice.
Sotomayor is of Puerto Rican descent and was born in the Bronx. Her father died when she was nine, and she was subsequently raised by her mother. Sotomayor graduated with an A.B., summa cum laude, from Princeton University in 1976 and received her J.D. from Yale Law School in 1979, where she was an editor at the Yale Law Journal. She worked as an assistant district attorney in New York for five years before entering private practice in 1984. She played an active role on the boards of directors for the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund, the State of New York Mortgage Agency, and the New York City Campaign Finance Board. Sotomayor was nominated to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York by President George H. W. Bush in 1991, and her nomination was confirmed in 1992.
Sotomayor's confirmation hearings before the Senate Judiciary Committee began on July 13, 2009. During them, she backed away from her "wise Latina" remark, declaring it "a rhetorical flourish that fell flat" and stating that "I do not believe that any ethnic, racial or gender group has an advantage in sound judgment. When Republican senators confronted her regarding other remarks from her past speeches, she pointed to her judicial record and said she had never let her own life experiences or opinions influence her decisions. Republican senators said that while her rulings to this point might be largely traditional, they feared her Supreme Court rulings – where there is more latitude with respect to precedent and interpretation – might be more reflective of her speeches. Sotomayor defend her position in Ricci as following applicable precedent. When asked whom she admired, she pointed to Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo. On July 28, 2009, the Senate Judiciary Committee approved Sotomayor's nomination; the 13–6 vote was almost entirely along party lines, with no Democrats opposing her and only one Republican supporting her.
On August 6, 2009, Sotomayor's appointment was brought up for a vote on the floor of the Senate. She was confirmed by a vote of 68 to 31. All Democrats and the two independents who caucus with them voted in favor of confirmation, with the exception of the ailing Sen. Ted Kennedy, who was unavailable to vote due to health issues. Thirty-one Republicans opposed the nomination, and nine supported it. Sotomayor was sworn in on August 8, 2009, by Chief Justice John Roberts. She will be formally invested on September 8, 2009, in a special session of the court convened for that purpose.

Diversity: Going Where Man Ha Diversity: Going Where Man Has Gone Before
- From: GeniusInMotion

Description:
When discussing the issue of ethnic and cultural diversity in the industry, one can’t help to think back to the future. The original, and short-lived (it lasted only 3 seasons), television series “Star Trek” was ahead of the curve in more ways than one. It wasn’t a hit when it aired, in fact, “Star Trek” only became a cultural phenomena during its successful run (to this day) in syndication. What was of significance to many of us watching the show was Roddenberry’s choice to feature a multi-racial crew (IMDB). For many young “minorities”, growing up seeing the likes of Nichelle Nichols an African-American woman as a communications officer in the future was very significant. And George Takei’s portrayal of Sulu made a lot of Asian-Americans like nationally renowned civil rights leader and Executive Director of the Japanese-American Justice Center, Karen Narasaki “very excited to see him because he looked like one of us” at a time when “you didn’t see yourself on TV” (GIM Interview May 2008). And who can forget “Space Seed”, the episode where Mexican actor Ricardo Montalban played Khan Singh, a eugenic superman, who seizes control of the enterprise, and nearly kills Kirk?
Other shows come to mind that seemed to bend towards Roddenberry’s vision during the early 70s after “Star Trek” went off the air. “Sanford and Son” had a variety of recurring characters that created a multi-racial feel at times on its show, and let’s not forget “Chico and the Man”. “Sanford and Son” dealt with racial stereotypes given the chance, and “Chico” directly addressed those stereotypes. Fans of the show saw the ethnic jabs as a part of the endearing, if acerbic, relationship between "Chico" and "the Man." As Chico once fondly put it, Ed was a minority himself, the barrio's "token white man". (Wikipedia)
But as history moved on, so did television programming. By the 1990’s shows featuring all anglo casts had come to dominate our television sets. Shows like “Seinfeld”, “Friends”, and “Home Improvement” had come to shape our collective pop culture consciousness. Granted there were “ethnic” shows, most of which were relegated to the failed “WB” network, while most other shows which featured non-white characters in principal roles were few and far between. Not until very recently have audiences benefited from the likes of multi-ethnic casting for primary characters.
Fortunately for television audiences, choice rules today’s market. Alleged “ancillary” mediums dominate the old-school format of programming for television. The expansion of cable programming, satellite technology, DVD sales, DVD mail rentals, the Internet, Video on Demand, and DVRs, etc. have expanded the landscape and we are not confined to the choices that were formerly made for us by network executives and programmers. Perhaps these advances in technology have forced the issue?
With the abundance of outlets and content, it seems television has come to (once again?) embrace Roddenberry’s vision for the future. Modern-day television shows have mult-racial casts and are moving past dealing in stereotypes. In this regard, since the days of “Star Trek” the original series, diversity on the small screen has most certainly come full circle. It is our hope that this is not a fad, and that the commitment to represent our multi-colored world soon becomes a mainstay, and that in the future the need to advocate for diversity become a thing of the past…
