I've been following on and off the trial of Jodi Arias.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Travis_Alexander

She killed her boyfriend, but when questioned, has described three substantially different stories.  She's done quite a bit to damage her credibility, and now accuses her deceased victim of being very abusive and that she killed him in self defense.

The reason this story fascinates me stems from how close to home it is (Mesa, AZ), as well as the religious affiliation of both the killer and victim (LDS).  I would certainly say that neither was exactly what I would call a shining example of Mormonism, even prior to the killing.  It's interesting how the media covers such things by making statements like, "Strict Mormon law disallows premarital sex."  Well, I think most churches believe that such is wrong, but generally it's not like we bar folks from the chapel because they're engaged in premarital sex.  I guess the obligatory usage of the words "strict" and "law" are strange to me.  But in any case, it's a macabre story of what the media has described as "the next Casey Anthony."  She's now facing cross examination at the hands of a fiery prosecutor.  I believe she is guilty in spite of her talented lying.

The ROTJ collaborative thread is a wealth of ideas, both on how to edit Return of the Jedi, as well as how to collaborate in an edit.  Emanswfan has taken leadership of the project.

She strikes me as guilty too, too much story. Same thing for the legless Olympian.

 

Time magazine has a pretty good (and ridiculously long) article on why healthcare costs so much. Very informative. The author makes some hasty conclusions at various points but I think provides a good base for discussion on how to control health costs.

I would hate to be the person responsible for this.

I guess I am wrong but the announcers said they "wiped that off"  and look the video at around the 1:27 mark, you can see the one of the refs wave hands as if to say 'no good'.

Neither can I. There will be a big money settlement. Though maybe they are stupid enough to go to trial and lose. The nurse is the likeliest candidate for jail, but I hope they can reach higher up.

if you ask me, the people to send to jail are her bosses, the people that decided to go with the policy of never providing care, even in the case of emergencies.

NKorea vows to cancel Korean War ceasefire

this is not good.    Just how hard would it be for the US to take over NKorea?
