Liveblogging changes the game in Legislature by Pat Lohmann Daily Lobo
The reporters at the New Mexico Independent were happy to hear that the special session of the New Mexico Legislature was postponed for five days. Having spent hundreds of hours liveblogging the torturous 30-day legislative session, the staff of the online news source kept New Mexicans informed about how their officials were spending tax dollars. Gwyneth Doland, Independent editor, said the liveblog allowed people a chance to watch New Mexico
government in action. “Normal people don’t have the time to take off of work, go to Santa Fe and sit in on committee hearings and floor debates,” she said. Reporters sit in on hearings of interest and constantly update the Independent Web site, for hours at a time. Legislators, viewers, Roundhouse staff and journalists are allowed to comment on the blog as it’s updated. Doland said that at its peak, 500 people were watching the liveblog during the legislative session, and she said its presence in the hearings had an impact on the legislative process.
2010 special session liveblog: NewMexicoInmindependent.com “We heard legislators say things like, ‘I believe this, and I don’t care if it’s going out over the whole Internet right now or not,’ or ‘I’ve got a whole lot of people who are watching this webcast, and they’re sending me their e-mails, and I’m still going to vote no on this,’” she said. “This is something you didn’t hear at all a year ago.” The Legislature started webcasting its meetings in February of last year. However, the webcasts are
Richardson delays special session LEGISLATIVE SESSION
by Susan Montoya Bryan The Associated Press
SANTA FE, N.M. — Gov. Bill Richardson is delaying the start of a special legislative session so lawmakers can work out differences before returning to the New Mexico Capitol on Monday to hammer out a plan for financing public schools and state government in the coming year. Richardson initially called for the special session to begin Wednesday, but House and Senate leaders urged him to push that back so they could have more time to discuss potential solutions to the state’s $600 million budget deficit. Richardson said a few more days of meetings among legislative leaders and his administration would benefit everyone. “I’m somebody who wants to get this done as rapidly as possible,” the governor said during a news

conference Tuesday. The state is projected to collect $5.1 billion next year, and it’s spending $5.7 billion in the current fiscal year. At least $200 million in federal economic stimulus money is available to temporarily plug the shortfall. Making up the difference is what has stalled lawmakers. They face several unpopular proposals — from trimming government spending to raising gross receipts taxes on goods and services and taxes on certain foods and cigarettes. Despite Richardson’s decision to postpone the session, some lawmakers say it’s a mistake to rush budget negotiations before getting more updated revenue forecasts. Sen. John Arthur Smith, a Deming Democrat who heads the finance committee, said he believes New Mexico’s revenue growth will be half of the projected 6 percent that lawmakers assumed when debating budget proposals that failed during the regular 30-day session, which ended last week. That means the state could be short another

Computers in one of UNM’s largest departments were hacked last semester, disabling hundreds of terminals and shutting down online services for a week. But no personnel or student information was stolen, said Chris Vallejos, Institutional Support Services spokesman. “I don’t believe it was a virus. They were hacked into, and it’s still under investigation where the malicious attack came from,” he said. “These are very difficult to track.” Vallejos said around 200 PCs will need to be either replaced or restored as a result of the hacking; however, there is no estimate for how much the restoration will cost. Mary Vosevich, Physical Plant Department director, said employees in the department haven’t had Internet access since October, when the attack happened. She said Information Technology just installed about a dozen computers with Internet access this month. “Obviously, there are things you do every day in this day in age where you access the Internet,” she said. Even though employees didn’t have Internet access, Vosevich said the speed of PPD services wasn’t affected. “I think we’ve been able to hold our own through all of this,” she said. Vosevich said information on PPD issues was announced on UNM

Today, such as e-mail and other online services. Online services — including the iService desk — are shut down from Feb. 17 to today. “We realized pretty quickly what was going on,” she said. “That was one of the reasons we were more or less shut down.” PPD takes care of all building maintenance at UNM, including landscaping and custodial services, according to its Web site. The department has almost 500 employees. Vallejos said PPD personnel realized something was wrong when the server started lagging. He said the hackers increase the number of times a certain Web site is visited, which slows down Internet access.
Session
The hackers were from out of the country, Vosevich said, and the attack is still under investigation. “There are folks that that’s just what they do,” she said. “I think it’s some kind of entertainment for them to try to hack in, and one of them was successful here.” Vosevich said some compromised computers may be replaced completely. “We have a computer-renewal plan here at the Physical Plant, so every couple years we replace so many computers,” she said. “We have some new computers that we have installed.” The need for new computers arises when older ones that can’t be
fixed with the newest technology, Vallejos said. “Some machines over three to four years (old) must be replaced because they can’t handle the new software,” he said. Vanessa Baca, a Planning and Communication representative, said she has never heard of a department being hacked into before this incident. All networks and people who access the Internet are vulnerable to an attack like this, Vallejos said. “Anyone, any place can be hacked,” he said. “Someone can just open up an e-mail attachment — these folks are very, very sophisticated.”
House Speaker Ben Lujan, DSanta Fe, said he is confident state finance officials are on top of revenue projections and that the budget issue needs to be settled sooner than later so the state and those who depend on state funding can get on with their business. Richardson said the Legislature and his administration already had agreed to use existing revenue forecasts for building the state’s budget and waiting would not send a good message to financial markets. He added that pushing the special session back further would interrupt spring political campaigns. “It makes no sense to wait,” the governor said. “I want our reserves
in place. I want us to keep our high bond rating and I want the schools to know how much they’re going to have in this next period.” Lawmakers said Tuesday they continue to get e-mails from groups that are asking to be spared from budget cuts or tax increases. Unfortunately, the lawmakers say, everything will be on the table when the debate resumes next week. During the regular session, the House wanted to rely more on tax increases to balance the budget than the Senate did. Conservative, rural Democrats in the Senate — and Republicans in both chambers — advocated deeper spending cuts.
of the day’s proceedings.” The Independent also liveblogged the 2009 regular and special sessions as well as various other events, Doland said. Since the legislators were unable to pass a budget before the session ended, the governor called a special session and then postponed it. So, the
Independent is gearing up do it again, but this time it wants UNM students to tune in, Doland said. “We want UNM students watching, participating, asking questions, whatever,” she said. UNM is facing a possible budget cut and tuition credit increase at the special session.

$200 million if Smith’s estimate is correct. Smith and other lawmakers had urged Richardson to push back the special session until April. Otherwise, they warned Tuesday that another session may be necessary in the fall to plug a shortfall if revenues are less than expected. “The bottom line is we need to look at the revenues further down the economic road,” Smith said. The director of the Legislative Finance Committee, David Abbey, acknowledged that revenues are showing “weakness,” but said it was premature to say whether the state will have a drop in revenue growth or remain stable.

From the web On Tuesday, the paper ran Isaac Avilucea’s column titled, “Freemasonry hysteria surrounds Jay-Z content,” in which he covered the recent claims that hip-hop artist Jay-Z is a member of the Freemasons. Readers shared their two cents at DailyLobo.com. by ‘Andrew’ Posted Tuesday “How come all the nonMasons see all these so-called ‘illusions to Masonry’ while us Masons see nothing even close to our symbolism. Jay-Z must be having a good laugh at y’all.” by ‘Steve Brettell’ Posted Tuesday “Can anyone define the ‘New World Order?’ How is it supposed to be bad? Also, many fraternities, including the Boy Scouts, have grips and signs. Maybe Jay-Z is a Boy Scout? Or Phi Beta Kappa?” by ‘Gene Goldman’ Posted Tuesday “Can anyone define the New World Order? The NWO was a storyline developed by Eric Bischoff, when he was with Ted Turner’s network. The line was that a group of veteran wrestlers had descended on TBS in order to take over the promotion. Considered by most fans to be one of the best storylines ever, the highlight was when Hulk Hogan turned heel.” by ‘Tired of the Fraud’ Posted Tuesday “What an incredible article. You manage to point out evidence of Jay-Hova’s influence by esoteric fraternities and then build straw man arguments to convince the profane there’s nothing to see here. Regardless if he is a Mason or not, there is no doubt he is influenced by the esoteric secret societies, and they recognize the work he is doing. Think about it, dummies. What’s a gangster rapper doing meeting with the leader of the U.N.? Just keep telling yourself the global financial elite, global institutions and esoteric secret societies love you. Just keep listening to Roc-A-Fella records and telling yourself Jay-Z is real. What a joke!”

“I’m growing it out for South America.”
by Zach Gould Opinion Editor
I want to eat cows. I want to eat ribs, burgers, steaks and even bottom round roast (the butt). I would love to swim in the fluffy meat pillows of steak goodness, indulging my continuously growing gluttony. But, the Man keeps screwing my meat fantasy. I can’t, in any good conscience, eat beef. For the typical family of suburbia, waking up at 7 a.m. to go to work, grabbing a convenience-laden breakfast burrito from McDonald’s with a side of coffee water is second nature. I get it. I used to work construction with those very same people, and was often mocked for wanting to “steer” the crew in a healthier direction. I would often wonder why these guys didn’t seem to care about their body, and it wasn’t until I had to start paying bills of my own that I began to understand. But back when I was 15 and high school was my biggest commitment, I didn’t get it. I didn’t get it nor did I really try to. They seemed doomed to a life of congested arteries and manual labor, neither of which I was particularly interested in. Then when I moved out and started working three jobs while going to school full time, it hit me. Those advertisements start to work when you are tired and hungry. Riding my bike home past those golden arches on Yale Boulevard, the hot, fried fumes tickling my nose hairs — the short-term cost of getting a value meal starts to make a lot more sense.
Fortunately, my body has zero ability to digest all of that crap, and every time I try I fall ill. Although I do find myself in line at Wingstop from time to time, on the whole, I stay away. Do I care what you eat? No. I couldn’t care less, and the last thing I want to do is make you feel guilty. But, what you eat effects what I eat. We don’t live in a free economy entirely, but for the food industry it is equivalent to the Wild West. Consumer choice still dictates. The population demands fast food, and the fast food company demands that all of their food is the same. How would you feel walking into a McDonald’s and getting chicken nuggets that didn’t taste like the ones you ate every other time? You would be outraged. If you go on YouTube, you can listen to dozens of 911 calls in protest of the consistency of all sorts of things. The people demand the police come down and give them their food; fortunately, our police are not regulated by free market. After hearing these complaints and not wanting to spend more money or pull back their enterprise, these companies turn to industrialization. More science than food, they break everything down into tube form and spritz the whole concoction with everything from ammonia to antibiotics. This process of industrialization takes almost all taste away from the food, which, if it is soaked in ammonia, is probably a good thing. But, the companies now have complete control over the taste of all food in their restaurants, and that is because it is entirely conceived in a lab. Flavors, heavy in fats, are added to everything, from the burgers to the buns. So, you ask, “Why can’t you eat beef? Don’t you use Clorox on your kitchen counters? What’s the difference?” No, I don’t use Clorox. And, according to the Union of Concerned Scientists, 70 percent of all antibiotics in the United States are given to animals. I would also say that because of the need for tube-formed food, and the fact that there are a fraction of the slaughterhouses that once existed in the U.S., one burger contains not just the meat from one cow but dozens to even hundreds.
What does this rampant use of antibiotics and multi-cow burgers mean? Other than some gross mental images, there is nothing wrong with any of it, right? Wrong. A new Boston University study shows that even at low levels, antibiotics used on farms to stimulate animal growth also tend to stimulate mutation in bacteria. Antibiotics largely kill bacteria by encouraging the production of free radicals in the cells. In low doses, those free radicals can greatly increase the chance of mutation in the bacteria, sometimes resulting in resistance to a wide range of antibiotics. The process of feeding cows exclusively on corn, for which they do not have a digestive tract, has created a specific strand of E. coli that has devastating effects on people. The process of switching cattle to grass just before they’re slaughtered, which would dramatically reduce the rates of meat being infected, has been deemed too expensive. So now there are resistant bugs in our food. This is where soaking meat in ammonia comes in. Massive meat recalls are pretty normal these days. I remember hearing of one that could’ve provided one burger for every person in America. Those meat recalls are a direct result of all this tainted meat being mixed together into multi-cow burgers. All it takes is one sick animal. The industrialization of our food has done the opposite of what it should have done. Industry is for empowerment of people, taking less manual labor and resulting in more freedom. This isn’t the case, people are not taking food into their own hands. They are taking what is given to them off the assembly line. Around 1 percent of Americans are farmers. Food is no longer connected to our population. It exists separately from where it comes from. Meat is one of the worst cases, but the problem spreads to almost all aspects of agriculture. This is only a side note in a much bigger story. Just think a little before you fill that hole on your face. Because at some point, I would like to enjoy fear-free beef again.

Angry mob assails Haitian voodooists by Paisley Dodds
The Associated Press PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — Livid crowds in a seaside slum attacked a group of Voodoo practitioners Tuesday, pelting them with rocks and halting a ceremony meant to honor victims of last month’s deadly earthquake. Voodooists gathered in Cite Soleil where thousands of quake survivors live in tents and depend on food aid. Praying and singing, the group was trying to conjure spirits to guide lost souls when a crowd of Evangelicals started shouting. Some threw rocks while others urinated on Voodoo symbols. When police left, the crowd destroyed the altars and Voodoo offerings of food and rum. “We were here preparing for prayer when these others came and took over,� said Sante Joseph, an Evangelical worshipper in Cite Soleil, near the capital’s port, who joined the angry crowd in a concrete outdoor civic center.
Tensions have been running high since the Jan. 12 earthquake killed an estimated 200,000 people and left more than 1 million homeless. More than 150 machete-wielding men attacked a World Food Program convoy Monday on the road between Haiti’s second-largest city of Cap-Haitien and Port-auPrince. There were no injuries but Chilean peacekeepers could not prevent the men from stealing the food, UN spokesman Michel Bonnardeaux said. Religious tension has also increased: Baptists, Catholics, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Scientologists, Mormons and other missionaries have flocked to Haiti in droves since the earthquake to feed the homeless, treat the injured and jockey for souls. Some Voodoo practitioners have said they’ve converted to Christianity for fear they will lose out on aid or a belief that the earthquake was a warning from God. “Much of this has to do with the aid coming in,� said Max Beauvoir, a Voodoo priest and head of a Voodoo association. “Many
missionaries oppose Voodoo. I hope this does not start a war of religions because many of our practitioners are being harassed now unlike any other time that I remember.� Voodoo, or Vodou as preferred by Haitians, evolved in the 17th century when the French brought slaves to Haiti from West Africa. Slaves forced to practice Catholicism remained loyal to their African spirits in secret by adopting Catholic saints to coincide with African spirits, and today many Haitians consider themselves followers of both religions. Voodoo followers believe in reincarnation, one God and a pantheon of spirits. Voodoo leaders say that although they do not believe in evil spirits, some followers pray for the spirits to do evil. “There’s absolutely a heightened spiritual conflict between Christianity and Voodoo since the quake,� said Pastor Frank Amedia of the Miami-based Touch Heaven Ministries who has been distributing food in Haiti and proselytizing.

Classical music echoes throughout a small building filled with sleeping cats. When Barbara Handal comes in, a cat rams her head against the glass door and meows loud enough to be heard over the music. When she moves closer to the door, the cat falls to the floor, sticks her paw underneath the door, and again yelps when Handal finally enters and starts petting the cat. “How could anyone give up a cat like this in a million years?” she said while cleaning its whiskers with her thumb. Handal, a volunteer of 15 years at Animal Humane Association of New Mexico, knows cats in ways others don’t. She can coax an abused cat from an animal carrier with crooning and meowing until the battered animal slowly sticks its head out. When this happens, she’ll gently run a comb through its matted fur, and then if it retreats, she lets it. She said cats are like that sometimes. “We’re on cat time. Their time,” she said, while picking up another cat and checking his eyes for mucus. “It might take 10 minutes or a few days.” And she’s on cat time now. Handal, a retiree and former teacher, is working in the new cattery, a building with four separate rooms with glass doors for the relaxed and social cats. She goes into each brightly colored room: One’s red and orange, another a royal purple overlay, the other a green wash that looks like a meadow
and a final one collaged with hundreds of kitten pictures. In each room, she takes an inventory of the cats, and then proceeds to find each one, stroke its head, check its eyes and then plays with it a bit before moving onto the next one. Some cats hang around in the rafters and she lets them be — they want their privacy. She said she has loved animals ever since her first pets — a dalmatian that her parents would take sailing and a couple of angora goats. “What you grow up with, that’s what you go back to,” she said while combing a purring cat. “You revert back to your childhood.” Notably, the rooms have a pervasive smell of cat litter and waste, and if Handal is bothered by it, she gives no indication. Her clothes are covered in mélange of multi-colored cat hair. She’s here for the cats, and it shows every time she walks into the room and two or three cats radiate toward her. “I like these animals,” Handal said. “Just to work with them, even if there’s no one around. I just like to pet them, talk to them and make them more sociable. I think it’s the idea that you are counteracting all the bad stuff that goes on out there. You know, the people giving them up all the time, losing them, dropping them off in the mountains because they can’t take care of (their) dog anymore. It just makes me feel like I am doing something that’s really helpful. Plus, I like them, anyway, so it’s an excuse to play with the animals.” After an hour so, Handal moves to the cat condos, a place where cats are kept in tall rectangular glass and wooden boxes. These housings are for

fu-exploitation-nightmare comedy,” you’d be a bit closer to capturing the wild spirit of “Hausu.” The title means “house” in Japanese, and the film involves a group of teenage schoolgirls visiting a strange house in the countryside. There’s more to it than that, but the plot isn’t the movie’s strong suit. “Hausu” delightfully takes the tired teenagers-dying-one-by-one concept and visually electroshocks

Nelson Antoine / AP Photo Pop singer Madonna won a dispute in Malawi for a plot of land where she plans to build a girls’ school. The government of Malawi offered the villagers alternative homes.
Madonna set to build girls’ school by Raphael Tenthani The Associated Press
BLANTYRE, Malawi — In a land dispute pitting Madonna against African villagers, Malawi’s government has sided with the pop star who has pumped millions into this impoverished southern African country and adopted two of its children. Villagers have been refusing to move from a plot of land near the capital, Lilongwe, where Madonna wants to build a $15 million school for girls. The government, however, says it had originally planned to develop the plot, and only allowed the villagers to live there until a project was identified. Thursday, Lilongwe District Commissioner Charles Kalemba, accompanied by other government officials and representatives from Madonna’s Raising Malawi charity, met with about 200 villagers and told them they would have to move. The villagers have been offered other government land. “Government allowed you to

occupy this land because there was no project yet. But now that Madonna wants to build you a school you have to give way,” Kalemba told the villagers. “You are lucky that Madonna has compensated you for your houses, gardens and trees.” Anjimile Mtila-Oponyo, who will be principal of Madonna’s school, said the singer paid the villagers more than 16 million kwacha (about $115,000) to compensate them for their houses — mostly mud-and-thatch structures — and improvements such as gardens and trees. Headman Binson Chinkhota urged residents to move, saying the school would benefit their children. But Amos Mkuyu said the $1,500 in compensation he received from Madonna for mango trees and three homes was not enough. He said his family had been living on his sevenacre (three-hectare) plot for three generations. The villagers are bitter, he said, but “there is nothing much we can do because government is using threats.”
Mtila-Oponyo, the principal, said the school project was going ahead. “We stalled for some months because of the land dispute,” she said. “We are now in full swing and we intend to meet the 2011 deadline we set for ourselves.” According to its master-plan, the Raising Malawi Academy for Girls will be constructed with modern environment-friendly techniques, including solar panels for generating electricity. Mtila-Oponyo said the academy will serve 500 girls, mainly from underprivileged households. “The academy will have a strong emphasis on sciences because it is the dream of Madonna that Malawi should train its own scientists and doctors to help the vulnerable Malawian girls and women who die needlessly because of lack of local expertise,” she said. Madonna adopted a daughter from Malawi last year and a son in 2008. Her Raising Malawi charity,

Stuart Ramson / AP Photo Designer Alexander McQueen poses with Sarah Jessica Parker at the Costume Institute Gala in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York on May 2006. McQueen was found dead at his London home on Feb. 11, his spokeswoman said. He was 40 years old.
Alexander McQueen’s fashion legacy lives on Bookstores UNM 121st Birthday Event! by Jill Lawless
The Associated Press
LONDON — A bereaved Alexander McQueen left a note, then hung himself in his apartment on the eve of his mother’s funeral, a coroner’s inquest said Wednesday, giving the cause of the fashion designer’s death as asphyxiation and hanging. The inquest has yet to formally deliver a ruling of suicide, but police said there were no suspicious circumstances. Coroner’s official Lynda Martindill told the inquest at Westminster Coroner’s Court that the body of 40-yearold McQueen was found in an armoire at his London apartment on Thursday. In the dispassionate language of the inquest, she referred to him as “a single man, a fashion designer.” Days before he died, McQueen had left several messages on the social networking site Twitter revealing his grief at his mother’s recent death. Police detective inspector Paul Armstrong told the inquest there were no suspicious circumstances. He gave the note found at the scene to coroner Paul Knapman but did not disclose its contents. After a five-minute hearing, the coroner adjourned the inquest until April 28. Full details of the autopsy also will be available in a few months. McQueen’s family, who are now free to hold the designer’s funeral, issued a statement through their lawyers appealing to the media to respect their privacy following their “grievous double loss.” They have not released details of the funeral. In Britain, inquests are held whenever someone dies violently or in un-
explained circumstances. McQueen’s death has cast a shadow over London Fashion Week, which opens on Friday. A spokeswoman said the event would feature a tribute to the designer, whose attention-grabbing designs helped re-energize British fashion after a fallow period following the punk explosion in the 1970s. “There will be something simple and tasteful,” she said. “The time for memorials will be later in the year.” She spoke on condition of anonymity because organizers are waiting for McQueen’s family to approve the tribute. Known for his dramatic statement pieces and impeccable tailoring, McQueen dressed celebrities from Cameron Diaz to Lady Gaga and influenced a generation of designers. He was named British Designer of the Year four times and awarded the title of CBE — Commander of the Order of the British Empire — by Queen Elizabeth II. Unlike many fashionistas, he came from a working-class background. The son of a cab driver, McQueen grew up on a public housing estate in London’s East End, left school at 16 and entered the fashion world the old-fashioned way, as a teenage apprentice to a Saville Row tailor. He later studied at Central St. Martin’s College of Art and Design in London and was discovered by fashion guru Isabella Blow, who bought his entire graduation collection. She became a friend and mentor; her suicide three years ago shook the designer, who wept openly at her funeral. McQueen was a private man who avoided the limelight, but his Twitter postings show emotional turmoil after his mother’s death on Feb. 2.

to protect children were being bent because of Madonna’s celebrity, and perhaps out of gratitude for what she has done for Malawi. While her 2008 adoption went relatively smoothly, a lower court at first rejected her bid to adopt her daughter, saying Madonna had not spent enough time in Malawi.
That case went to the nation’s highest court. In June, a three-judge panel that included Chief Justice Lovemore Munlo said the initial rejection was a narrow interpretation based on old laws. The ruling that allowed her to adopt also cited the singer’s commitment to helping disadvantaged children.
was best known for his own label, in which Gucci bought a majority stake in 2001. McQueen retained creative control, and became famous for his dramatic and often uncategorizable creations: sculptural cocktail dresses in psychedelic patterns; headwear made of trash; 10-inch (25 centimeter) heels shaped like lobster claws. His shows were highly theatrical events, incorporating film and historical references and innovative technology — including, at one memorable 2006 show, an appearance by Kate Moss in hologram form. His outrageous pieces never sold in great numbers, but he became one of fashion’s best-known brands. He
designed the outfit Janet Jackson was wearing when she had her breastbaring “wardrobe malfunction” at the 2004 Super Bowl. Outrageous chanteuse Lady Gaga — dressed in a lacy white ensemble and towering Marie Antoinetteesque wig — paid tribute to McQueen at the Brit music awards on Tuesday. “Thank you to Lee McQueen,” she said after winning one of three prizes, using the designer’s given name. Onstage she performed a somber tribute song beside a mannequin wearing those signature lobster-claw shoes.
The aunt begins to act strangely, and she has a strange white cat, with strange eyes that sometimes glow green. Strangeness abounds, and the more bizarre it gets, the more I’m able to enjoy it. The film walks the razor-thin line between camp and art. It has a glorious sense of humor, making constant idiosyncratic use of animation and goofy music. And there are individual shots and sequences whose cinematic excellence I cannot deny. It is a world of dreams and nightmares, and Obayashi brings it to life using every cinematic trick in the book with astounding finesse. A film as fearless and clever as this one is a reminder of just how
sterile horror movies have become in recent years. We’re growing increasingly accustomed to brutal, hyperrealistic violence, accompanied by zero artistry. “Hausu” is inarguably violent, but its attention to detail and explosive charisma makes it fresh and exciting, even 30 years after it was made. It’s about the little things — the beautiful shot of Oshare’s stepmother when she first emerges, her figure and movement distorted by panes of glass or Melody playing the eerie little waltz on the piano and the metronome starting itself. Can I remember anything specific that excited me as much, or truly terrified me, during “Saw VI?” No. Not even close.

McQueen had posted messages four days before his death about his “awful week,” and said he had to “somehow pull myself together and finish.” His mother’s funeral was held the day after McQueen died. Friends also said he might have felt under pressure to outdo himself at the unveiling of his new collection in Paris next month. “I don’t think success was easy for him,” friend Plum Sykes wrote in the Sunday Telegraph this week. “He told me he was driven by his insecurities, and he believed that all successful people were.” McQueen became chief designer at the Givenchy house in 1996, but

the hell out of it with a sporadic collection of instances. It delivers moments where you may be unsure of whether to laugh or gasp in horror, of shots that get under the skin and linger long after the film ends. There are seven girls: Oshare, Fanta, Sweet, Melody, Gari, Kung Fu and Mac. Oshare has a falling out with her father, who usually takes her on a trip for the holidays. So, instead, she invites her friends to stay with her mysterious aunt. They’re all delighted by the quaint little house at first, and they dedicate themselves to helping its matronly proprietor. And then, one of them disappears. Then another.

the newly arrived cats, the less social and the “red zone” animals that have been abused in the past. “We do what we can to help them,” she said while opening up a box containing a “red zone” cat. The animal’s been declawed, Handal explains, while picking up the cats who’ve fallen off the shelf. These cats tend to be the most trouble because they bite more. Bites get infected quickly, so the volunteers are wary of these cats. In minutes, Handal’s got the cat in her arms purring. She sets it back in the box where it meows once, and then lays down to sleep. Handal then tells another volunteer on duty that this cat isn’t a “red zone” cat and that her status should be changed on the chart. While playing with a few more cats in the condos, Handal describes a couple of other rules regarding the cats. No “s” sounds because they sound too much like hissing. Don’t stare the cat in the eyes. Don’t move suddenly, and, most importantly, don’t pet a cat you don’t know on the stomach. “You know what happens when you put your hand on a cat’s tummy?” she said. “They have four sets of claws. You’ll get about 5,000 wounds.” After her rounds in the condos, Handal returns to the cattery to spend more time with the cats in the greatest need of attention. She sits on the floor and motions for a 1-year-old orange cat to come out of a cubby hole where he’s been hiding. She said that on busier days she’d be showing would-

be adopters around, and introducing them to the cats. “There are people out there for every animal,” she said while the cat slinks from his hiding place. Ultimately, that’s her main goal. Despite the time she spends codling and caring for the cats, she wants them to have homes. The first thing she does when she arrives at the shelter is to check a giant white board colored with green and purple markers to see which animals were adopted in her absence. “We all get excited,” she said. “We’ll say, ‘Oh did you see, Shiloh got adopted!’ We’ve had some that have been here (for) four or six months. We don’t want them to be here that long. We want them to get out and get a home. So we get really excited. It makes my day.” Handal said that while playing with the cats brightens her days, she never regrets seeing them go to a good family. “I have never felt that way,” she said while lowering the orange cat to ground. “I am always glad to see them go. I can’t ever say that I liked petting that cat and it was so much fun. I wish he was still here. Never have I felt that way. It’s about getting them homes. Now, once in a while, you’ll think, ‘I love that cat, and if I didn’t have two already, I’d be taking him home.’” She says the orange cat will be adopted before the week’s through. She stands and leaves the room, washing her hands before entering another room to croon the cats some more.
