Banita Jacks Trial Gets Underway

WASHINGTON, DC (WUSA) — The trial of the DC mother accused of killing her four daughters is now officially underway. Attorneys for Banita Jacks had tried to convince a judge not to allow an eight hour interrogation tape into evidence. After two days of listening to them, Judge Frederick Weisberg denied the motion and the opening arguments were heard. Defense Attorney Llloyd Nolan says there is no physical evidence, and no scientific evidence that shows Banita Jacks killed her children in their rowhouse on 6th Street in Southeast. They only have stories from witnesses who didn’t see anything.

But prosecutor Deborah Sines says the bodies of the four little girls will speak for them. Four different medical experts will lay out a timelines of the killings, which prosecutors says started with Brittany. Jacks had claimed she was the last to die. Prosecutor Sines says they’ll show that Brittany was last seen alive in April of 2007, after her boyfriend came to visit, which angered Jacks.

Elizabeth Creekmore Byrd. Wife Claims Miss. Congressman’s Affair Derailed Marriage, Career

JACKSON, Miss. — The estranged wife of former U.S. Rep. Chip Pickering claims in a lawsuit that the Mississippi Republican had an affair that ruined their marriage and derailed his political career.

Leisha Pickering said in the lawsuit filed this week that her husband and the woman dated in college, reconnected and began having an affair while he was in Congress and living in a building where several Christian lawmakers reside on C Street near the U.S. Capitol. Chip Pickering is the third Republican with ties to the building at 133 C Street SE to find his personal life making headlines in recent weeks, after Nevada U.S. Sen. John Ensign and South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford.

ImageShack Hacked by Anti

Sorry to say this, but, whine about it less. If it’s that important of an organization, set up an Apache server, and host the images yourself. If you won’t do that, because you don’t want to take the time, why should other organizations and companies be held accountable for your organization’s stuff, when they’re doing you a favor in the first place? Apache is free also, and can be set up with minimal tech knowledge. There are also guides everywhere, and a few images won’t be hard to host at all. You could even make yourself a site, if you wanted.

If you can’t set up an apache server because of bandwidth strain, then you are a large organization, quit being cheap and get some real Large Organization hosting, instead of being cheap… Myspace, really? But in the event you are a small organization, then you could host an apache server, since it is simple, and becasue of being a small organization, you should get a small amount of views, and therefore need a small server, and a small amount of bandwidth. Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. ImageShack does what they can for you for free, so don’t whine about it when they have issues outside their control. And if you have to REDO it all, you are, quite frankly, a complete retard.

Craig Kilborn. If this political and social commentary thing doesn’t pan out, that isolation factor could start kicking into high gear real soon.

Which part was Quincy Jones, and which part was him again? Because in the that Smith referenced, the term ‘for crying out loud’ does not appear. Nor, to my understanding, does the term ‘bleached his skin,’ but at this point who’s really counting. Okay, so quoting people is not his forte. Let’s try, hmm, the music industry (while sitting at a table with a top recording artist and music mogul): You look at the music industry and you got people selling (chuckles), you know, DVDs and what have you. That’s just the way the world works.

But the reality is that whatever assists in your popularity, it assists in your popularity. So, then make sure, you know, as an artist, you’re not going anywhere. If people are listening to you and you’re popular, you’re going to get noticed no matter what. Just because people are selling singles as opposed to albums your popularity is your popularity.

Dont Stop Lyrics. Michael Jackson: A Biography

As we mourn the loss of the true King of Pop, we thought we’d reflect on the 50 year old’s life. Michael Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana on August 29, 1958 and by 1969 he was already a star as the youngest member of the Jackson 5 – a group formed by his father Joe Jackson featuring four of his older brothers. In 1970, the band released a string of hits, including ‘I Want You Back’, ‘ABC’, ‘I’ll Be There’ and ‘The Love You Save’ and cemented their place at the forefront of then modern soul music.

It also made them the first group ever to have their first four singles top the charts. As the band progressed, they signed to Epic, became The Jacksons (without Jermaine) and had a string of disco hits including ‘Blame It On The Boogie’ and ‘Can You Feel It?’, but in the meantime Jackson had a string of solo hits including ‘Ben’ and a cover of Bobby Day’s ‘Rockin’ Robin’. In 1979, after starring in The Wiz (an all-black retelling of The Wizard Of Oz) with Diana Ross, he teamed up with producer Quincy Jones, who he met on set and recorded ‘Off The Wall’, which included the hits ‘Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough’ and ‘Rock With You’. It was in 1982, however, that his biggest success took the world by storm.

When Ludo Lefebvre (Ludo Bites) and Rick Bayless (Frontera Grill) both plan to make a quesadilla as their main dish,

Tonight on “Top Chef Masters”, the latest round of contestants are forced to pay tribute to a classic season 2 “Top Chef” Quickfire where the master chefs must create a dish using one single color. It, of course, also has to be delicious! The elimination challenge evidently involves more exotic foods like animal stomachs, so it is definitely going to be tough. When Ludo Lefebvre (Ludo Bites) and Rick Bayless (Frontera Grill) both plan to make a quesadilla as their main dish, the chefs start to worry that the overlap might jeopardize their chances of winning.

Will the two go head-to-head over quesadillas? And who of the 4 expert chefs will come out on top to advance to the finals? I can’t answer those questions. We’ll just have to tune in to “Top Chef Masters” Wednesday night at 10/9c to see how it all turns out.

Death Thai Newspaper. Shocking David Carradine Hanging Photo Online

The Thai language newspaper censored most of the body, but still revealing explicit details of the death scene. The newspaper ran the picture on its front page and a larger version inside the paper. With coroners awaiting results of toxicology tests, Thai media pointed to suicide or accidental as possible causes of death. Some reports have said a cord was wrapped around Carradine’s genitals and others that his hands were bound behind his back. None could be confirmed.

In Bangkok, police said it could take several weeks for coroners to confirm exactly how Carradine died. “What we’re doing right now is interviewing more witnesses,” Police Colonel Somprasong Yentuam told Reuters. Thai television said Carradine’s body was flown back to Los Angeles early Saturday, which Geragos confirmed.

Gillmor Gang. They’re about beautiful young people.

Mainstream romcoms are conflicted. They’re about beautiful young people. (Well, beautiful young people and Seth Rogen.) And they hinge on problems that have to be overcome.

Now, I’m not saying beautiful young people don’t have problems. As male model Derek Zoolander has memorably pointed out, even really, really good-looking people can die in freak gasoline-fight accidents. But I do have a hard time believing that button-cute Michelle Monaghan in Made of Honor has trouble meeting a nice fella or that golden-girl Katherine Heigl in 27 Dresses is a wallflower. These setups lack plausibility, which is why modern romcoms increasingly rely on strained stunts — wagers, ploys, fake identities, comas (!) — for their plots. Here’s a thought.
