"content": "\u003cp>It’s almost impossible to enter the blogosphere these days without encountering the latest about how universities continue to mishandle rape cases. There are countless articles and entire books dedicated to parsing what’s gone wrong on college campuses across the nation, and how to better handle things going forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For instance, this past April saw the release of Jon Krakauer’s \u003cem>Missoula: Rape and the Justice System in a College Town\u003c/em>, a book that details the inadequate handling of sexual assault cases committed against female college students in Missoula, Montana over the course of two years. We’ve spent the past academic year watching Columbia student Emma Sulkowicz, who many consider to be the face of the college anti-rape movement, drag her mattress all across campus in protest of Columbia’s failure to expel her alleged rapist. In fact, in a recent \u003cem>LA Times\u003c/em> article, columnist Meghan Daum referred to the past school year as the “Year We Decided Women Aren’t Safe on College Campuses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the term “rape culture” so heavy in today’s zeitgeist, it’s hard not to feel like we’re getting it wrong all the time. But I recently came across an example of a TV show that got it right...17 years ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having missed it the first time around, I began watching the late ’90s/early 2000s WB hit \u003cem>Felicity\u003c/em>. When a rape scandal began to unfold early on in the first season, I braced myself for what I knew—or what I thought I knew—was about to get very ugly. So when the show handled the plotline well, I was pleasantly surprised—shocked even.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Things start out promising for Julie (Felicity’s BFF) and Zach (played by Devon Gummersall, who will always be Brian Krakow to me). They meet in the laundry room amidst Zach realizing he’s dyed all his clothes pink, as he hasn’t yet learned to separate colors from whites. Soon they’re dining in the cafeteria together, and going to see \u003cem>Solaris\u003c/em> at the Mercer. She watches his short film, which he later asks her to record music for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There\u003cem> are\u003c/em> some signs that he’s a little weird, though. He reacts poorly when she critiques his film—even though he asks her to!—but eventually realizes his mistake and addresses it (he doesn’t actually ever apologize, though, which I almost missed). He’s a tad dramatic when she’s apprehensive about their first kiss and he responds by asking for a noose. And he gets a little momentarily aggressive in a subsequent make out sesh. But he’s also awesome. It turns out the reason Julie gets “really freaked out” when Zach kisses her is because, she tells him later, “You treat me like an actual person,” which is something she’s obviously not used to from a suitor. Felicity even tells Julie that she’s jealous of her and Zach’s “whole situation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When, just a few scenes later, we watch Julie and Zach giggle their way back to her dorm room after recording music and going out—Zach has a token beer in his hand, of course!—we don’t know what’s in store. They kiss into her room, and he shuts the door behind them, ending the scene.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next, we see Julie in her room folding laundry and looking despondent; she eventually tells Felicity, and then a doctor at the hospital, what happened that night with Zach. This includes that their hooking up started out as consensual and switched in the middle. Though Julie’s unsure if what happened was rape as she didn’t “scream” or “hit him,” and “he wasn’t violent,” her doctor confirms that indeed it was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What’s so incredible about the story line is that there’s a lot of nuance and ambiguity in these relationships and interactions. Julie and Zach liked and even respected each other; they had a good thing going; they made out for half an hour before she said she didn’t want to have sex—but it was \u003cem>still\u003c/em> rape! Because that’s the thing—rape, and especially non-stranger rape (the most common kind)—is rarely black and white; and you don’t have to be an entirely bad guy to commit it. Admittedly, this is a somewhat difficult concept to follow, let alone get right on a television show, but the fact that \u003cem>Felicity\u003c/em> goes for it and nails it, and all the way back in 1998, no less, is nothing short of revolutionary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it’s not just the nuances of the relationship that \u003cem>Felicity \u003c/em>pegs; it’s the logistics too. Felicity and Noel (her RA and sometimes love interest) seek out a school counselor to find out what Julie’s options are, and the counselor very thoroughly spells out all the avenues she can take. Buoyed along by her friends’ encouragement, Julie eventually meets with the school counselor herself, and it’s implied that it’s in this meeting that Julie reports Zach, as the next time we see him he’s being pulled out of class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While it takes Zach a while to grasp the magnitude of everything—he goes from clueless to defensive, at first—he eventually does, and the last conversation he and Julie have is surprisingly endearing. Julie, anxious that Zach doesn’t know what he’s in for, goes to tell him she’s fighting this, only to find him packing to leave school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As they talk, he isn’t defensive; he admits that what happened was in fact rape even though he “didn’t attack [her]; [he] didn’t rip [her] clothes off,” mirroring back Julie's fears from earlier in the episode. He hands her a note he was going to leave her. “It says all the obvious stuff—how sorry I am, how horrible that night must have been for you, how I wish things would have happened \u003cem>very\u003c/em> differently.” He tells her it wasn’t her fault; he actually apologizes this time, using the words “I’m sorry” and everything.

Its founders, Marc Andreessen and Jim Clark -- a baby-faced 24-year-old programmer from the Midwest and a restless middle-aged tech pioneer who badly wanted to strike gold again -- inspired a generation of entrepreneurs to try to become tech millionaires.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A month after Netscape went public, eBay was founded. The following spring, Stanford students Larry Page and Sergey Brin began developing a Web-based “crawling” technology called BackRub, laying the foundation for the creation of Google.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The success of the IPO created the term “Netscape Moment” -- a giddy point that marks the starting gun of a new industry and age. Many business historians say the dot-com boom began that day. Soon, everyone was pestering their broker for tips on new companies. Day trading of stocks via online brokers such as Ameritrade or Etrade was now considered a career.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Companies like \u003ca href=\"http://www.redhat.com/en/about/company\">Red Hat Software\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://www.akamai.com/us/en/about/company-history.jsp\">Akamai Technologies\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.theglobe.com/\">theGlobe.com\u003c/a> would surpass even Netscape’s heights, seeing their shares rise more than 400 percent in their first day of trading -- an excitement that former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan famously called “irrational exuberance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Was it? Business was radically and quickly reshaped worldwide by inexpensive communications based on a browser-based Internet. It was the biggest era of U.S. wealth creation in generations. Within five years, the tech-heavy Nasdaq soared from 1,000 companies to more than 5,100.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Spontaneous Wake\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Back in San Francisco, the early glimmers of the Internet gold rush meant little to mourning Grateful Dead fans, who had lost an irreplaceable musical god. A spontaneous citywide wake developed. Mayor Frank Jordan ordered city flags to fly at half-staff\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hundreds gathered in Haight-Ashbury, the low-rent neighborhood that formed a spiritual base for 1960s counterculture. Some sat on the stoop of 710 Ashbury, the ornate house where the Grateful Dead briefly lived, to console, cry, talk it out and get high. Thousands of mourners gathered in Golden Gate Park, listening to tapes of the Dead and creating a makeshift shrine to Jerry.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[jerrygarciamourners]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That night, Dead guitarist Bob Weir went ahead with a scheduled solo show in Hampton Beach, N.H. “If our dear, departed friend proved anything to us,” Weir told the crowd, “he proved that great music can make sad times better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Deadheads high and low knew better -- an age had passed. Sen. Patrick Leahy said the news of Garcia’s death felt “like I had been kicked in the stomach.” A month earlier, at the band’s final gig with Garcia in Chicago, they ended the show with the song “Box of Rain” and its prescient lyrics: “Such a long long time to be gone/and a short time to be there.”\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch2>\"So Many Roads\" From Garcia's Final Concert\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe width=\"400\" height=\"300\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/6sFyRQPraJ8\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"yes\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>For Garcia and many Deadheads, that short time was now over. The group had survived the death of other active members -- founding member Ron \"Pigpen\" McKernan succumbed to an internal hemorrhage in 1973, and keyboardist Brent Mydland died from a drug overdose in 1990 -- but the loss of their colorful leader, affectionately known as Captain Trips, was insurmountable. Within four months of Garcia’s passing, the band that had meant so much to so many officially called it quits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the closing bell of the stock market, Netscape shareholders were also in a state of shock, although a delightful one. Many were now staggeringly wealthy. Jim Clark’s 20 percent share was suddenly worth $663 million. Champagne bottles were popped open; toasts were made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heady days were still ahead, but nothing compared with the surreal euphoria of that first day. Netscape’s stock peaked in late 1995 at $171 share, before its market share began to slip. AOL acquired the company in 1999 for $10 billion, but by 2002 it was sliding rapidly and had less than 10 percent of the browser market. In early 2008, AOL finally pulled the plug on the Netscape browser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But on that warm August day in 1995, Netheads and Deadheads shared a moment of high drama and importance -- one group thrilling to a colorful dawn, the other wistfully watching a darkening sunset. The zeitgeist was changing. The fading notes of the psychedelic age started to be drowned out by the buzz of red-hot startups. LSD was replaced by IPO. Idealism was out; stock options were in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some people made the connection at the time, and soon after Garcia’s death some black humor began circulating in the Silicon Valley high-tech community:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>What were Jerry Garcia’s last words?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>“Netscape opened at WHAT?!”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today is the 20th anniversary of that momentous day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>James Daly is a Bay Area journalist and entrepreneur -- frequently both.

Champagne bottles were popped open; toasts were made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heady days were still ahead, but nothing compared with the surreal euphoria of that first day. Netscape’s stock peaked in late 1995 at $171 share, before its market share began to slip. AOL acquired the company in 1999 for $10 billion, but by 2002 it was sliding rapidly and had less than 10 percent of the browser market. In early 2008, AOL finally pulled the plug on the Netscape browser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But on that warm August day in 1995, Netheads and Deadheads shared a moment of high drama and importance -- one group thrilling to a colorful dawn, the other wistfully watching a darkening sunset. The zeitgeist was changing. The fading notes of the psychedelic age started to be drowned out by the buzz of red-hot startups. LSD was replaced by IPO. Idealism was out; stock options were in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some people made the connection at the time, and soon after Garcia’s death some black humor began circulating in the Silicon Valley high-tech community:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>What were Jerry Garcia’s last words?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>“Netscape opened at WHAT?!”\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today is the 20th anniversary of that momentous day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Then, in 2011, the Charlotte, North Carolina-native was tapped to create the choreography for Beyoncé’s “Run the World” music video. “The rest, as they say, is 300-million-views history,” says Alsop.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So why make the trek from Los Angeles to teach a group of mostly amateur dancers in the Bay? “I just \u003cem>love\u003c/em> to dance,” he says. And, as a choreographer, working behind the scenes of stardom, “you don’t really realize the impact your work has on everyday people’s lives, until you come here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At least one class participant, Mackenzie Conway, a San Francisco State grad with experience dancing in Bay Area musical theater, dreams of someday working as a professional tour dancer. But most people showed up that day to celebrate the artist they love, and her message of women’s empowerment and equality. And, of course, there was the opportunity to bust moves with other members of the BeyHive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Yes, we’ve felt overshadowed by an obnoxiously perfect friend of a friend. Yes, we’ve felt like we were about to pass out while trussed up in a ridiculous dress. Yes, we’ve felt completely nonplussed at some guy’s overconfidence in his ability to turn us on. Yes, yes, yes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it’s only gotten better since. This year alone, Shailene Woodley stepped right over “artfully mussed” and had a truly bad hair day in a prison scene in \u003cem>Insurgent\u003c/em>.

Her picture perfect looks as the lawyer Alicia Florrick aren’t anything new, but her ambition, sexuality and complicated feelings about motherhood are a breath of fresh air for female viewers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Taylor Swift is making millions on some of the funniest music videos I’ve seen.

For certain parents, that seems to be an acceptable, possibly even preferable, standard for children’s entertainment. I’m not going to tell anybody how to raise their kids, but I will say, if that’s the way you’re looking at it, you’re missing out on some good stuff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the big delights of parenthood is introducing your kid to cool artifacts of your own childhood, be that digging out your old toy collection, reading a beloved bedtime story or sitting down with a favorite TV show. It’s a big part of the reason there are so many \u003cem>Star Wars \u003c/em>and superhero properties pitched directly at toddlers, and why new incarnations of \u003cem>My Little Pony \u003c/em>and \u003cem>Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles\u003c/em> are on the air. Entertainment marketers know full well that we can’t wait to pass our pet obsessions onto the next generation, and they’re eager to make that as easy as possible for us. (They also know it’s usually more profitable to revamp an existing property than to invest in something brand new, but that’s a topic for another time.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s the thing, though: a lot of that stuff we loved as kids? It’s pretty bad. A lot of the new stuff being made for the kids of today? It’s much, much better. And they really haven’t changed the formula all that much, just improved on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even as a kid I was reasonably aware that many of my favorite shows were essentially extended commercials for cheap plastic toys. From \u003cem>GI Joe \u003c/em>to \u003cem>Transformers\u003c/em> to \u003cem>Popples\u003c/em>, the ‘80s and ‘90s had a grand tradition of cartoons that introduced new characters and accessories with attendant toy tie-ins on a near-weekly basis. That aspect hasn’t changed a whole lot, but the way shows go about it has.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKNqgf7UVkg\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consider a show like \u003cem>Ninjago\u003c/em>, a series in which the characters, buildings and vehicles are all made of Lego.

For certain parents, that seems to be an acceptable, possibly even preferable, standard for children’s entertainment. I’m not going to tell anybody how to raise their kids, but I will say, if that’s the way you’re looking at it, you’re missing out on some good stuff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the big delights of parenthood is introducing your kid to cool artifacts of your own childhood, be that digging out your old toy collection, reading a beloved bedtime story or sitting down with a favorite TV show. It’s a big part of the reason there are so many \u003cem>Star Wars \u003c/em>and superhero properties pitched directly at toddlers, and why new incarnations of \u003cem>My Little Pony \u003c/em>and \u003cem>Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles\u003c/em> are on the air. Entertainment marketers know full well that we can’t wait to pass our pet obsessions onto the next generation, and they’re eager to make that as easy as possible for us. (They also know it’s usually more profitable to revamp an existing property than to invest in something brand new, but that’s a topic for another time.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here’s the thing, though: a lot of that stuff we loved as kids? It’s pretty bad. A lot of the new stuff being made for the kids of today? It’s much, much better. And they really haven’t changed the formula all that much, just improved on it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
