          <pubDate>Wed, 08 Jul 2009 10:20:11 +0200</pubDate>
          <description><![CDATA[We've waited all summer for an action movie with genuine (not canned) excitement, twisty plotting, and real characters. We'd never have guessed it would come in the form of Torchwood, formerly known as Doctor Who's ridiculous spin-off. Minor spoilers ahead. So the first two episodes of Torchwood season three, the five-part miniseries known as "Children Of Earth" have already aired in the U.K., and they've vastly exceeded my expectations.  I'll try and keep this review relatively spoiler-free, for all the people who aim to watch the show when it airs on BBC America starting July 20. But be warned: by "relatively spoiler free," I mean I'll try and stick mostly to details that were in the trailers and preview articles that have appeared in official places like the Radio Times. Information the BBC wants you to know before seeing this story, in other words. So. Honestly, I think the trailers sold this story a bit short. I expected it to be a lot of slow scenes of children being spooky while people wrung their hands, intermingled with sinister government people being sinister. But actually, the thing with the kids stopping absolutely still, and later repeating the alien message "We are coming," was extremely intense and well handled. And most of the credit belongs to Russell T. Davies, who wrote the first episode and obviously worked on the second one as well. Davies knows how to convey the rhythms of family life, and the chatter of everyday people coming and going, so when he gives us children stopping dead and chanting spookily, it doesn't feel at all like a cruddy horror movie. It feels, at first, like an inconvenience &mdash; and then the horror of it sort of sneaks up on you. The aspect of this storyline that I expected to be the most annoying turned out to be dead effective. I often feel like there are two Russell T. Davieses &mdash; there's the one who creates storylines like this one, or the Doctor Who episodes "Midnight" and "Turn Left": jagged dramas where people are pushed to the edge and they reveal their inner ugliness as well as their inner courage. And then there's the one who wants you to bathe in a swimming pool full of schmaltz and bombard you with a rough sequence of over-the-top "moments" that are disconnected from each other and from any sense of storytelling &mdash; like last season's "Journey's End." Like so many writers, Davies' greatest strengths can become his worst weaknesses, when he gets too self-indulgent. But he's got a lot to prove here, by turning Doctor Who's weak sibling into a genuine success. Davies has said again and again that he'll stay with Torchwood (and the other spin-off, the Sarah Jane Adventures) forever, even though he's leaving Doctor Who at the end of the year. So he's obviously determined to win people over with this one. The Torchwood team have never seemed as likeable as they do in these first two episodes. Giving both Jack and Ianto family members of their own seems like such an obvious step at character-building, you have to wonder why it didn't happen in season one. Jack's visit with his daughter Alice is, as the Radio Times says, "low-key but poignant" &mdash; especially given what we find out about why we haven't seen her before. "I get older... and you stay the same," she says. Meanwhile, all the stuff with Ianto's family is hilarious, and it's great to see a different side to Ianto than the eager-to-please manservant we've grown to love.  As for Gwen &mdash; I never thought I'd say this, but she's really growing on me. Davies seems to sense that Gwen has spent too much time in previous outings having her lip tremble and her wall-sized eyes water, so she's thrown into the role of action hero &mdash; and it works beautifully. It's hard to believe these are the same people we saw bickering endlessly, and obsessing over who was snogging whom, back in season one. There's still plenty of time for weird/risque humor, but it doesn't drive the story into the realms of the trivial. And then there's all the political intrigue, something Davies has tackled in the past, with mixed results. This time around, the stakes genuinely feel enormous, and the mystery that unfolds regarding whatever happened in 1965 is genuinely intense. And all of Torchwood's incompetence and silliness, that we've all lamented in the past, finally comes back to haunt them once the government sets out to destroy the team before they discover the truth about what's going on. We saw back in season two that even random old ladies on the streets of Cardiff see the Torchwood van drive by and mutter, "Bloody Torchwood." Now the fact that this organization is possibly the least well-kept secret in Wales turns out to be a genuine liability. And the ubiquitous surveillance state, which the Torchwood crew were so happy to take advantage of in the past (Remember all those scenes in the first two seasons where our heroes check the public CCTV camera feeds?) suddenly turns out not to be quite so warm and fuzzy. The other thing that "Children Of Earth" is doing really well, so far, is its alien menace. Whatever the mysterious alien threat behind the mind-controlled children and governmental paranoia is, it's being built up as a legitimately huge menace. Without having shown us so much as a tentacle-tip so far, the show has managed to build tons of anticipation for the alien threat to show up &mdash; here's hoping it doesn't actually disappoint. And finally, as the Radio Times says, Jack and Ianto have to deal with the implications of being a couple. And this is the other thing I really liked about those first two episodes. Without dragging us into any long relationship-wrangling scenes, the show gives us several glimpses of just what it might mean for Jack and Ianto to be "a couple," rather than just storage-room lovers. (And no, the show doesn't forget that Ianto used to have a girlfriend, as we saw in the episode "Cyberwoman." Even though we've all tried to forget that episode.) Not surprisingly, this is a subject near to Russell T. Davies' heart &mdash; the vast difference between queerness behind a veil of innuendo and secrecy, and proud, open queer relationships in the light of day. He doesn't retreat behind any simplistic archetypes, and instead allows both Jack and Ianto to have complex feelings about their relationship and how public it should be, which are hinted at from various vantage points, rather than spelled out in giant block letters. Oh and &mdash; and this is a bit more of a spoiler &mdash; RTD doesn't stint on the nudity. Those of us who worried that the move to BBC1 meant Jack would be covering up more needn't have worried. And I have a feeling adherents to at least one obscure fetish will be very happy about one particular scene in episode two. Obviously, the show isn't perfect &mdash; there are a few convenient coincidences that help our heroes out at various crucial moments. The British civil service seems to be pretty easy-going about handing out passwords to top-secret computer accounts as well. And there are one or two moments, here and there, that fall flat. But so far? I'm pretty riveted. I can hardly believe I'm actually saying this, but this could be the year that Torchwood becomes better than Doctor Who &mdash; at least until Steven Moffat takes over the reins of the parent series. Then all bets are off.  And a warning to people who've read this far and want to remain unspoiled &mdash; I have a feeling the comment thread on this post will get quite spoilery. That said, if you've seen the episodes already, please keep your first paragraph of your comment spoiler-lite, in case it crops up on the front page of the site. Thanks!<br />

          <pubDate>Wed, 08 Jul 2009 07:05:21 +0200</pubDate>
          <description><![CDATA[  Do you have enough reusable bags? Mayor Adrian Fenty signed into law today the bill that will establish a 5 cent fee charged to consumers for every disposable plastic or paper bag they take from a retailer. The mayor's action means the 5 cent fee will go into effect in January (unless of course Congress intervenes, but we kinda doubt that'll happen on this one). Four out of every five cents charged will then go into the newly established Anacostia River Cleanup and Protection Fund (with the remaining cent for the retailer, for their trouble). <br />
<br />
&#8220;Under this new law, the simple steps we take every day will result in a healthier Anacostia River,&#8221; said Mayor Fenty in a statement today. &#8220;Disposable bags are a menace to our waterways, and dramatically cutting down on their use will have a measurable impact almost immediately.&#8221;<br />
<br />
The District Department of the Environment, which will administer the fund, plans to launch a public education campaign in October about the new law and will distribute free reusable bags to people who need them. <br />

New York, May 8, 2009--Three monks, leaders of the Saffron Revolution and now in exile in the US, speak out about the 2007 uprising against the Burmese military junta portrayed in Anders &#216;stergaard's documentary BURMA VJ: Reporting from a Closed Country, made in collaboration with undercover video journalists working for the Democratic Voice of Burma. The monks form part of the All Burma Monks' Alliance (ABMA) , located in Utica, which supports the many monks imprisoned in Burmese jails, where prisoners are not fed. ABMA also supports refugee monks who have escaped from incarceration and torture in Burma and works with other groups to promote human rights and democracy in Burma. See also the interview with Anders &#216;stergaard and Khin Maung Win on this blog. BURMA VJ is currently in theatrical release and playing at the Film Forum in New York.Burmese with English translation and subtitles.  ]]></description>

    Edison Chiloquin Holds Photocopy of a whopping $173,000.00 U.S. Government Check.  &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
He Wouldn't Even TOUCH  the Actual Ones!   &#xD;<br />

    Imagine you have a quarter-million dollars in government checks. Imagine that if you were &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
to sign just one of the checks and take the money, you would be selling out your grandfather. &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
You would cancel the fact that your rich heritage entitles you to ancestral forest highlands, &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
lakes, rivers and marshes.  You would be signing what amounts to a bill-of-sale for your heritage.&#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
        The Klamath Marsh once included over ten-thousand acres of wocas. this was a bulb plant &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
which was harvested in the Fall and roasted. It could be made into a paste or baked as a staple&#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
 of the Klamath people.&#xD;<br />
                                                          Over Ten -Thousand Acres of Wocus&#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
    Now imagine you muster your courage and go back to the US  Congress. You ask them to &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
rectify for you a wrong done to your people long ago.  You remind Congress that it was wrong &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
for them to take the land in the first place. &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
    Imagine while you are doing what you know is right,  you are alone in your struggle except &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
for your wife and a handful of family and friends,  Only the conviction for your traditional values &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
keeps you from  giving  up.  You never give up. You announce that you will not give up if you have to live to be 100! &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
    Then suddenly your wife and foremost supporter dies, leaving you truly alone in your struggle.         &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
                                      Edison Philmore Chiloquin       Leatha Chiloquin       Edison & Leatha Chiloquin                                            &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
    Your legal counsel, other friends, and by then, the whole world hear about your lone  struggle. &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
You make the front  page of the San Francisco Examiner.  You befriend Oregon Congressman Al Ullman, &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
Chair of the powerful &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
House Ways and Means Committee.&#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
                         Edison Chiloquin meets with Congressman Al Ullman. Ullman was a key sponsor of &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
the bill which later became law. "The Chiloquin Act" gave back to Chiloquin land which the government confiscated.&#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
    Edison Chiloquin and congressman Al Ullman, Ullman introduced legislation which gave back land to Chiloquin. &#xD;<br />

    A special federal Congressional act is written for you.  Passed by both houses,  it's signed into law by "lame duck&#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
" President Jimmy Carter.   You make international headlines.&#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
                                     But Still Nothing Happens!&#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
    Years later, after no action occurs, it appears to you some people in a subsequent republican administration &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
may be actually waiting for you to die! &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
            What would YOU do with this check?&#xD;<br />
                                       &#xD;<br />
One of the bank checks which Chiloquin refused to cash. &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
    Your Bank checks still remain uncashed, and quibbling continues about the exact boundaries &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
of the land.&#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
    Some of your closest friends, who did choose to receive the government funding, turn away from you.  &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
But some of your staunchest opponents respect you highly. Still you do what you feel in your heart is right, &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
build the Sacred Fire, and carry on.&#xD;<br />
                                                           &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
    Return of the Raven, is a different kind of western. Now in the 20th century the Indians are the winners! Edison &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
Chiloquin is the grandson of an American Indian head man, commonly referred to as a "chief" by the white man.&#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
 A living legend, Chiloquin is the first individual Native American to make the U.S. Government give back land. &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
And he made worldwide headlines  refusing over a quarter-million dollars in government money.&#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
    In the 1950's Congress passed legislation which eliminated Indian lands and tribes throughout the country.&#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
    The action devastated Chiloquin and his people. For not only did Congress "legally" steal land from millions of &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
ndians, including over two-thousand Klamath, they effectively dissolved entire tribes, including the Klamath.&#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
    "RETURN OF THE RAVEN" is the true historic account of Chiloquin's ten-year battle to reclaim the land which &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
was once  his grandfather's village. Grandfather   Chiloquinas was once the head man of the Plaikini people.  &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
The Plaikni were one of a number of distinct tribes and family groups who were later grouped together by the &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
White man and called "Klamath."&#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
    The Plaikini Village contains many of the landmarks Chiloquin remembers as a young man:  There is Medicine Rock, &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
where one goes to meditate and regain the strength of his or her spirit. there are the sweat lodges where one who enters &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
with a clean mind can be cleansed mentally, physically and spiritually.  Then there is the Profile of the Indian Chief &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
carved by The Creator  into the rock high in the cliff above the village by centuries of erosion--wind, rain and lightning.&#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
    The story was filmed in the beautiful mountains of Oregon, and enhanced throughout with authentic traditional music. &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
For ten years our film crew followed Chiloquin as the U.S. government paid up to a quarter million dollars each to&#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
other members of his tribe. True to his convictions Chiloquin refused his share of the money. "The Earth is my mother. &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
I cannot sell Mother Earth," he maintained. After seemingly insurmountable odds, and at times desperately in need &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
of money, Chiloquin never cashed his quarter-million dollar check! Instead, he brought his cause to the attention &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
of Congress and asked them to rectify the situation which they had created.&#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
                The Sacred Fire burns at the Plaikni Village. Tended night and day for seven years, it never went out.&#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
 --Photograph Copyright 1999 by Televideos&#xD;<br />
                                                    &#xD;<br />
The Sacred Fire Burns!&#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
    At home in Oregon, Chiloquin began a vigil. He started the Sacred Fire which was tended throughout &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
the seasons. It burned for seven years and never once went out. Chiloquin believed the smoke from this&#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
 fire carried his hopes into the spirit world. In 1980 as one of his last official acts,  President Jimmy Carter&#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
 signed into law the Chiloquin Act. Historically this became the first Congressional action which returned&#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
 land to an individual Native American.&#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
    Return of the Raven is true--  an incredibly inspiring and timeless story, thought provoking and adored &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
by both children and adults. It is also the perfect video to explain a century of U.S. Government and Indian &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
relations. The story is captured in a warm, personal approach, (unlike some programs which rely on sepia&#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
 tone photos and actors.)&#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
    The program is both entertaining and educational. It was produced with cooperation from the National &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
Endowment for the Humanities and the Oregon Committee for the Humanities. In addition the video was &#xD;<br />
&#xD;<br />
the first place winner of the first annual Oregon Production Arts Network Film Festival.&#xD;<br />
