"Transformers"

"More than meets the eye...Transformers robots in disguise..."

The good guys: The Autobots, led by Optimus Prime, a huge robot who could transform into a big rig

The Bad Guys: The Decepticons, led by Megatron, a robot who could transform into a big ol' gun.

The who, what & where: After battle for control of Cybertron, their home planet, the Autobots and Decepticons left in search of new energy sources. Not wanting the Autobots to gain an advantage, the two sides fought in space and crash landed on Earth (around 4 million years ago). Eventually they were awakened, and the battle continued, though the Autobots now had human allies, and eventually new Autobots joined their caused (like the dinobots, who weren't very smart, but could kick some serious hiney).

Is it airing now: Different versions have come and gone over the years, but "Transformers Cybertron" airs on the Toon network at 6 a.m.

Other News: Transformers the motion picture is set to be released in 2007. I believe the teaser trailer came out with Superman Returns (though I had already seen it on the internet) and it looks REALLY COOL!

Jem and the Holograms

Ok, so now that that's stuck in your head, recall if you will "Jem and the Holograms." This was one of my FAVORITE cartoons growing up. Jerrica and her sister Kimber inherited half of her father's record company, which was constantly trying to be taken over by the smarmy Eric (who inherited the other half, and managed the trouble making Misfits). Jerrica also inherited Synergy, a computer that could create holograms of antyhing Jerrica could dream up, including her alter ego, Jem, a songstress with really cool pink eye make-up and a not-so-bad voice. Of course, they competed with the Misfits for fame and glory, all while trying to keep the Starlight Foundation (a home for orphaned and runaway girls) afloat and keep her younger, jealous sister in check. What was a girl to do?

Jerrica struggled with all of her masks, but mostly with the decision not to tell her boyfriend Rio, who not only loved Jerrica, but also had the hots for Jem. Ahhh....if only she'd be honest, but then it wouldn't have been as much fun.

The series lasted for three seasons, and ended with one orphan finding her long-lost father and the Misfits offering truce with Jem. After much back and forth, it seemed like Rio had finally chosen Jerrica for good, though I don't think he ever learned she was Jem.

This show is out on DVD and can be ordered at amazon.com.

When simmons, jannace & stagg, a law firm from New York, represented a young woman pro bono, the case garnered a lot of interest. The woman, Ms. Burpee was disqualified by an Australian referee on a procedural technicality during the trials in Minnesota. After her disqualification, Ms. Burpee asked the firm to intercede on her behalf to have the disqualification overturned. In addition, Ms. Burpee requested that the firm commence an action against the United States Olympic Committee requiring the committee to name her to the Olympic Team. Eventually an arbitrator did not rule in her favor, but she continues to compete and will do so in the World Championships in the next year.
