How many times, in how many ways, does Bill have to demonstrate that he is devoted to Katie before Steffy finally clues in that he's not interested?
Somehow I just can't start this column with my usual "Has your week been
" schtick. I can't bring myself to make jokes with the entire soap genre in danger of extinction.
And don't think that's an alarmist statement, either.
The cancellation of AMC and OLTL
doesn't just affect fans of those shows. There's a growing sentiment among networks, a sentiment that started with the cancellation of GL and ATWT, a sentiment that says it's all right to cancel soaps, because they're just an old-fashioned, dying genre anyway.
Even Oprah Winfrey jumped on that bandwagon
, which appalled me. When a prime time show gets cancelled, there's what -- 30 or 40 shows to replace it in a single season? Daytime fans don't get that luxury. It's not like the old days anymore -- we lose a show, that's it.
And you don't just cancel two shows under the guise of plummeting ratings when there are still millions of people who follow them every day. Now, are any of the soaps -- including B&B -- what they should be these days? Hell, no. What's behind that? Is it just that our soaps are so desperate to compete with talk shows, reality shows, and decreasing attention spans that they think shocks, stunts, and implausible, plot-driven stories will excite viewers? Or is there actually a conspiracy that has network execs going to writers and telling them to write crap storylines so disgusted viewers will give them an excuse to cancel soaps? I honestly don't know.
Whatever's going on, if AMC and OLTL go off the air, we could well lose the remaining four soaps in a matter of a year or two. And this isn't just about phasing out the entire soap opera genre -- scripted television as a whole is being threatened, too, and don't fool yourself into thinking it isn't. Otherwise Brian Frons wouldn't be telling us viewers want to see more reality shows.
I keep going back and forth between feeling hopeless and hopeful about the future of soaps. But just because the soap I Scoop about isn't in any immediate danger doesn't mean I advocate us resting on our laurels. Yes, I left messages on ABC's viewer feedback line, and also contacted them through Hoover, who pulled their ads from ABC and has become a conduit for sending viewer messages to ABC. But Hoover's unprecedented action -- and that Brian Frons is now under fire because of it (according to the
New York Post
, anyway) -- makes it very clear that getting sponsorship pulled is a way of talking to ABC in a language they'll understand.
Like all corporate entities, networks don't think of creativity or that audiences have followed their shows for decades -- they think of bottom line. So talk to them on that level. Go to
Support Our Soaps page
for info on where to contact the advertisers. Cite Hoover's example. Respectfully ask the advertisers to pull their ads from ABC as well, and note that you are choosing not to buy their products until they do. You know how they say "money talks" -- thinning out ABC's wallet may be the only way to let them know loud and clear that not only do viewers
soaps to remain, but that we're not going to stand for them being unilaterally cancelled.
Of course, a show has got to be good for viewers to keep watching it. So this is the time for
the soaps to step up their game. Lose the boring characters, stop being shocking for the sake of being shocking, pay attention to history, and listen to the fans. We know what we want to see, and we don't need for a network exec or a head writer to tell us what that is. That's just one thing that's so awesome about soaps -- there's so much history and continuity, and we really, deeply care about both.
B&B still has a ways to go, but this was a pretty good week overall. For one thing, we only had to endure Oliver/Hope/Liam/Amber one day instead of five. But it's still a mess. Hope has decided to "move on" with Oliver -- yet she shouldn't be moving on with anyone. By her own admission, she's not over Liam -- bad enough she got with Liam when she wasn't over Oliver! I rebounded a lot when I was young -- Hope is young -- but this really doesn't send healthy messages to the audience. And Oliver, knowing Hope still loves Liam, is working off a 40-watt bulb when he needs a 100. You know what I mean?
Ah, well. At least Hope cutting off Liam's phone call is different, and they're still hinting about Oliver being the father of Amber's baby. Of course, Marcus is in the running as well. I suppose, at some point, things will get very interesting with this story. We're just not there yet.
Now, I have two things to say about the continuing Thomas/Brooke Affair. First, it needs to end. The majority of us fans
do not want it
. It's what made me think conspiracy theory in the first place -- "Hmm, what's the best way we can alienate viewers? I know! Put Brooke and Thomas together!" You've already heard me rage about why I hate the story and the implications if these two cross the line, so I won't go into that again...all I know is that they've been on this for six months, and enough is more than enough. I can't believe
actually said it best -- that it might sell a few magazine covers but that "people really don't want to think about them actually being together." So knock it off, B&B! The time for mincing words is over.
Second...well, at least it's taking a different turn. We've actually got a B&B disaster on our hands! And it's about time. Didn't I say at New Year's that we needed one to shake things up? And who flew us into that typhoon? None other than Alan Pietruszewski, who played Captain Andy. I've known him since the start of his career, when we did a production of
together. He's like a house on fire right now; he's working really hard and headed for the big time. I'm proud to say "I knew him when." Way to go, Alan! Except for that whole flying-Brooke-into-the-ocean thing. (Kidding. Kidding!)
Let's backtrack to what led to B&B's version of
Airport '77
." There was much jubilation and glee over Thomas being gifted with five percent of Forrester stock. All right, a nice show of faith on Ridge's part there. But now, as CEO, Ridge owns less of the company than Steffy! And why is Thorne, who's been there as long as Ridge, not pitching a fit? He has zero percent! (Talk about not listening to the fans -- we want Thorne! Yet he's constantly shoved aside and disrespected -- tsk!) Also, we need more Eric. John McCook's warmth just lights up the screen. Ridge's own warmth toward Thomas this week took me back to the glory days, reminding me how Eric was always so supportive of Ridge.
But I don't think Ridge should be so blas� about Thomas and his attraction to Brooke. "He's learned his lesson," Ridge claims -- but I'm not so sure. It seemed like a little too much of a one-eighty to go from slashing Taboo's budget and preventing a women's line to reinstating everything and sending Thomas and Brooke off to Australia together! You'd think putting them on a plane together would be the last thing Ridge would do. Who hasn't learned his lesson?
At least Ridge
learn the lesson of finally locking the door before getting down to (monkey) business with Brooke in his office. It's amazing any actual work gets done at Forrester Creations! How many times do we need to see these two go at it? To say nothing of the fact that Ridge purposely ignored his private line
at work
! If he had picked up, he would have known about the typhoon, and the Australia trip could have been postponed. Good one, Ridge. It was up there with Ridge getting Brooke all steamed up in the steam room before Hope's graduation party. Not that Brooke and Oliver weren't responsible for what happened, but Ridge played a part in it, then as now.
"When did Thomas become catnip to women?" Brooke wanted to know. Indeed. B&B is trying really hard to portray Thomas as a player -- too hard. I still say Thomas is gay and is surrounding himself with women to convince himself (and others) that he isn't. But I digress. I don't buy Thomas and Dayzee as a couple, but I loved Dayzee's demeanor during their goodbye. Even though she was joking around, she was also spot-on when she told Thomas "you might think more of yourself if you think less of yourself more often." Score! She at least had the decency to say her goodbye privately. What the hell was up with Madison and Summer throwing themselves at Thomas in front of Brooke? This is a work situation, not the Playboy mansion! Honestly.
Was it just me, or did it seem those on Air Forrester flew into that storm awfully fast? The report said it was in the vicinity of Fiji. It takes five hours or more to fly that far from L.A., not five minutes. And how silly was it for Brooke and Thomas to be yelping during the power outage, completely ignoring their oxygen masks? Did they think the masks dropped from the ceiling for decoration? At least, Captain Alan, you reprimanded them for that -- even if you went for coffee instead of leaving a message for Ridge like you should have. (Wink.)
Much was made of Thomas not wanting to let Ridge down, and of Brooke and Thomas swearing nothing inappropriate would happen between them. (It better damn well not.) So why on earth would Brooke ask Thomas how many women he has in his life? Asking for trouble, that's what that was. It made about as much sense as Brooke trying on a shiny gold dress in the middle of flying through a storm. I knew the second it went on that disaster was imminent -- after all, it was
. Tragedy in sequins! That's how we used to roll, y'all.
So, the next jolt from the storm brought the plane down (even if it didn't bring down the oxygen masks again!), and Brooke and Thomas were left fighting for their lives in the freezing water. Compelling stuff! And so much to talk about at family reunions -- now both Ridge's wives have gone down in planes. Taylor and Thomas have both gone down in planes. I can only hope Thomas doesn't follow Taylor's lead and make love to Brooke to keep warm, the way Taylor did with James during the Big Bear quake in '94. I don't know where it goes from here, but as long as it doesn't involve sex, I'm good.
Now, you know what's
good? The you-know-what flying between Katie and Bill! This is easily the best storyline B&B has going right now. But poor Steffy...she's nearly pathological. So she understands Bill, and Katie doesn't? What Steffy's saying is that she doesn't have a problem with Bill's plan to kill Amber! And how many times, in how many ways, does Bill have to demonstrate that he is devoted to Katie before Steffy finally clues in that he's not interested? Maybe it's the mixed messages he's sending, sticking his tongue down Steffy's throat one minute and pushing her away the next.
And why, when the topic of pursuing Bill came up between Steffy and Stephanie, did La Forrester not put her foot down and tell Steffy to snap out of it? Yeah, she rolled her eyes and said Steffy shouldn't go see him. But, as a woman who always cried lack of morals when Brooke or Lauren went after married men (usually Eric), she should have made a stronger case for Steffy not following in those footsteps. Maybe Stephanie was tired out from her lung cancer medication. Wait. Did Stephanie ever have lung cancer? Because you wouldn't know it these days.
Did I call it or did I call it? Last column, I joked that Taylor would end up being Bill and Katie's therapist. But really -- who else in all of L.A. would they get? To B&B's credit, though, Taylor is much more in her element as a psychiatrist, and much truer to the character. Thankfully we only had her objecting to Thomas' Australia trip for two seconds -- but it really proved my point: Nervous Nellie Taylor is like fingernails on a chalkboard, but Doctor Taylor rocks my socks. She even finally got a clue about Steffy! Acknowledging Katie's plea to talk to Steffy, Taylor said, "You can count on that." Well, it's about damn time! Anybody else looking forward to Taylor opening up a can of Whoop-Ass on Steffy?
Bill, of course, functioning as a snarling dog who's been put in a cage, acted predictably in therapy. Lying on the couch, making snarky comments, and thinking Katie was the one with the problem. I would even go so far as to say Bill was just plain mean in spots. And you know what made that great? Katie stepping up and not putting up with it! Heather Tom really shone this week, and what a sight to behold. Katie turned it right back around on Bill when he accused her of "emotional violence." And tying this current arc into what happened with Storm is a great move. It was revisionist history to talk about the flashes of rage Storm had during the years the Logans were off-screen, but we did see how those flashes almost got Katie killed -- no wonder she'd be hyper-aware of the damage Bill's rage could cause.
But Bill wouldn't see it that way, walking out on the session -- and Katie -- almost as if to pay Katie back for walking out on him. Can this marriage be saved? I don't know, but this is some damn good storytelling, and B&B needs more of it. Not that I'm not grateful for the drama we got this week!
It just goes to prove that the soaps can still knock it out of the park. Bill and Katie's conflict -- even the plane crash -- this is the kind of stuff we need to see on our screens every day. Good, solid stories mired in history. Because when you break it down, the soaps' very survival depends on it.
Here are some thoughts from the Two Scoops e-bag:
• "Are we supposed to believe that a handsome, wealthy, dynamic billionaire (Bill) would be so enthralled by an immature 20-something (Steffy)? Bill knows she paraded her 'goods' before his son just a few months ago. Is Bill supposed to be dumber than Owen, Oliver and Liam and want this low-class stalker?" - Moe
• "I am still wondering why the writers are going along with the incestual theme of Thomas and Brooke... [And] Katie is a very strong woman...why is she now running away from her problems with her husband. Katie marrying Bill is a very perfect match and can handle her husband very well, so please let her do so while staying with her husband." - Magsta
• "Great column, Mike. The Thomas saga continues and is driving me crazy. I have to wonder now if Thomas isn't doing all this on purpose because he really has an endgame here of taking Brooke from his father...there has to be a reason B&B is drawing this out so much, so long." - Pat
Let's wrap things up with some Points to Ponder:
Interesting comment at Bikini about "all Nick's ladies" (Taylor, Katie). At least Aggie's sudden disappearance got mentioned. But does that place play any other music except that bad reggae cue left over from the '90s?... Jackie and Owen have been AWOL for months -- so do we have to watch them make out first thing?... "I don't take joy in failed marriages," Steffy said. But she couldn't wait for Brooke's marriage to fail, could she!... Great continuity, Nick talking about being the sailor who ran from therapy with Taylor... Steffy said she was "a little too busy to concentrate on PR" -- well, that's her job! And Ridge can't just "hope" that she'll still
that job. Is no one on contract at FC?
Finally! Stephanie reminded Steffy (and us) that Bill owns 12.5% of the stock and worried that he'd bilk Steffy out of her 25%. But I had to laugh when Stephanie said Steffy knew right from wrong -- um, since when?... Pam made "5% cookies" - well, at least we had a momentary break from the lemon bars... How was it possible Stephanie didn't know anything about the Australia trip?... It was great of Thomas to save Brooke (the underwater scenes were movie quality!), but where did his shirt go? It just conveniently flew off in the crash?
Nice to see Whip and Taylor, but you'd think they wouldn't be so lovey-dovey -- Whip did sabotage Thomas, and just a few weeks ago Taylor would have dumped Whip for Ridge in a Paris minute... All Katie's talk of Storm to Taylor -- am I right in remembering Taylor and Storm dated?... Eric ribbing Brooke about not knowing how to use a web cam and offering for he and Hope to tell Brooke "everything you need to know about the 21st century" was classic -- but Ridge saying Eric's taste in music stopped at Sinatra in the same episode seemed to contradict it... Speaking of technology, Oliver (or whoever's creating his texts for the show) needs a spelling lesson -- the text said there was "lot's of traffic!" Not only was that a lie on Oliver's part, but there's no apostrophe in that word!
And glory be, a B&B soap day lasted only two real days instead of two weeks! Someone must have been listening. Now it's time to get yourselves listened to. Make comments on the
message boards -- but don't stop there. Visit
Support Our Soaps page
and contact ABC's advertisers -- help save AMC and OLTL for the sake of all soaps! As for B&B, write in and tell them not only what you're not happy with, but what you
happy with. Encourage them to make B&B the absolute best it can be. It's not over, Scoopers -- we can still save the soaps. Keep watching, be alert, and now, more than ever, be

Consensus document: Recommendations for the use of equations to estimate glomerular filtration rate in children [Documento de consenso: recomendaciones sobre la utilización de ecuaciones para la estimación del filtrado glomerular en niños]

The appearance of the K/DOQI guidelines in 2002 on the definition, evaluation and staging of chronic kidney disease (CKD) have led to a major change in how to assess renal function in adults and children. These guidelines, recently updated, recommended that the study of renal function is based, not only on measuring the serum creatinine concentration, but this must be accompanied by the estimation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) obtained by an equation. However, the implementation of this recommendation in the clinical laboratory reports in the paediatric population has been negligible. Numerous studies have appeared in recent years on the importance of screening and monitoring of patients with CKD, the emergence of new equations for estimating GFR, and advances in clinical laboratories regarding the methods for measuring plasma creatinine and cystatin C, determined by the collaboration between the departments of paediatrics and clinical laboratories to establish recommendations based on the best scientific evidence on the use of equations to estimate GFR in this population. The purpose of this document is to provide recommendations on the evaluation of renal function and the use of equations to estimate GFR in children from birth to 18 years of age. The recipients of these recommendations are paediatricians, nephrologists, clinical biochemistry, clinical analysts, and all health professionals involved in the study and evaluation of renal function in this group of patients. © 2013 Asociación Española de Pediatría.

Introduction: An Interdisciplinary Expert Committee was created by four Spanish Scientific Societies, organisers of external quality assurance programs, to provide laboratories a consensus of minimum analytical quality specifications with the aim of assuring similar analytical performance all over Spain. Material and method: A total of 1,262,623 results was obtained from 3688 laboratories and 24 periods studied (2005 and 2006). For each analyte, the absolute difference between the result and the comparative value (peer group mean), expressed in percentage, was calculated and named "error". From the error frequency distribution, the 95 percentile was considered as "candidate specification". This value was compared with the specification used in Germany and USA and, in the case of being higher than one of them, the "candidate specification" value was increased iteratively, until 90% of participating laboratories had 75% of their results within the "candidate specification". This value was considered to be the specification and the process ended. Results and conclusion: Specifications for 37 analytes (3 immunology, 5 therapeutic drug monitoring, 15 hormones and tumour markers, 14 haematology and coagulation are proposed. They are considered to be the minimum level of quality that each laboratory had to reach, to assure common analytical performance. If the results in the external quality assurance program exceed these specifications, an immediate review should be made and, if necessary, corrective actions should be taken. © 2010 AEBM, AEFA y SEQC.

The beneficial effects of fish consumption in both children and adults are well known. However, the intake of methylmercury, mainly from contaminated fish and shellfish, can have adverse health effects. The study group on the prevention of exposure to methylmercury (GEPREM-Hg), made up of representatives from different Spanish scientific societies, has prepared a consensus document in a question and answer format, containing the group's main conclusions, recommendations and proposals. The objective of the document is to provide broader knowledge of factors associated with methylmercury exposure, its possible effects on health among the Spanish population, methods of analysis, interpretation of the results and economic costs, and to then set recommendations for fish and shellfish consumption. The group sees the merit of all initiatives aimed at reducing or prohibiting the use of mercury as well as the need to be aware of the results of contaminant analyses performed on fish and shellfish marketed in Spain. In addition, the group believes that biomonitoring systems should be set up in order to follow the evolution of methylmercury exposure in children and adults and perform studies designed to learn more about the possible health effects of concentrations found in the Spanish population, ta-combusking into account the lifestyle, eating patterns and the Mediterranean diet. © 2015, Grupo Aula Medica S.A.

Mercury is an environmental toxicant that causes numerous adverse effects on human health and natural ecosystems. The factors that determine the existance of adverse effects, as well as their severity are, among others: the chemical form of mercury (elemental, inorganic, organic), dosis, age, period of exposure, pathways of exposure and environmental, nutritional and genetic factors. In the aquatic cycle of mercury, once it has been deposited, it is transformed into methylmercury due to the action of certain sulphate-reducing bacteria, which bioaccumulates in the aquatic organisms and moves into the food chain. The methylmercury content of large, long-lived fish such as swordfish, shark, tuna or marlin, is higher. Methylmercury binds to protein in fish and is therefore not eliminated by cleaning or cooking the fish. Fetuses and small children are more vulnerable to the neurotoxic effects of methylmercury from the consumption of contaminated fish. Methylmercury is absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and crosses the blood-brain barrier and the placenta. The intake of certain dietary components such as polyunsaturated fatty acids, selenium, fiber, thiol compounds, certain phytochemicals and other nutrients can modify methylmercury bioaccesibility and its toxicity. Apart from environmental factors, genetic factors can influence mercury toxicity and explain part of the individual vulnerability. © 2014 Grupo Aula Medica S.A. All rights reserved. Source

The beneficial effects of fish consumption are well-known. Nevertheless, there is worldwide concern regard methylmercury concentrations in fish, which is why many countries such as the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and numerous European countries have made fish consumption recommendations for their populations, particularly vulnerable groups, in order to México methylmercury intake. Blood and hair are the best biological samples for measuring methylmercury. The most widely-used method to analyse methylmercury is cold vapor atomic absorption spectrometry, although there are also direct methods based on the thermal decomposition of the sample. In recent years, the number of laboratories that measure mercury by inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry has increased. In addition, the different kinds of mercury can be distinguished by coupling chromatography methods of separation. Laboratories that analyse mercury in biological samples need to participate in external quality control programmes. Even if mercury emissions are reduced, mercury may remain in the environment for many years, so dietary recommendations are fundamental in order to reduce exposure. It is necessary to propose public health measures aimed at decreasing mercury exposure and to evaluate the benefits of such measures from the economic and social standpoints. © 2015, Grupo Aula Medica S.A.

FASTSIGNS International, Inc., the leading sign, graphics and visual communications franchise, announced today it will be the title sponsor of a new pilot show called "Ice Cowboys," featuring the latest extreme sport -- skijoring. Intrigued by the fast-paced sport, which entails a skier maneuvering through snow obstacles and being pulled by a horse and rider, FASTSIGNS signed on to sponsor the new pilot, which will air on Altitude TV beginning Sep. 4 (4:30 p.m. MDT) with multiple showings throughout the month and through December.
"When we were presented the opportunity to sponsor this pilot, featuring an exciting new sport in the U.S., we thought it was a perfect fit for our company," said Mark Jameson, EVP of Franchise Support and Development, FASTSIGNS International, Inc. "Our goal is to recruit bold new franchisees, who want to own and operate their own business, but also still enjoy their weekends, hobbies and other life passions. That's what FASTSIGNS is all about."
The opportunity to sponsor Ice Cowboys was presented to FASTSIGNS by one of its own franchisees,Laurie Sigillito, the Durango, Colorado FASTSIGNS owner since 2008. She also owns FASTFORWARD Media, a video production company, and Durango TV, and wanted to produce a popular show with broad appeal and thought Ice Cowboys was the perfect project.
"Ice Cowboys is a project I really wanted to produce with the hope that it would garner a lot of attention and interest, as well as be picked up nationally by one of the sports networks, following its airing this fall on Altitude TV," said Sigillito. "We are thrilled that FASTSIGNS is our title sponsor. This is a great opportunity for the brand to extend its reach to the viewers in Altitude's 10-state region with the message that you can be a franchise owner and still have time to enjoy sports and more in your off-time."
Sigillito is a prime example of a franchisee who has found success in franchising while pursuing a variety of interests. She spent nearly 25 years in the software industry before deciding she wanted to own her own business. She picked FASTSIGNS because they utilize technology through their many digital offerings and they provide her the flexibility to pursue other interests as well. She's very involved in the community, serving on the Small Business Develop Center's board and on the Region 9 Economic Development District board as treasurer, as well as being a member of the local chamber and Building Homes for Heroes, an organization she and her husband support in a multitude of ways.
The Ice Cowboys pilot will air for the first time at 4:30 p.m. (MDT), Sep. 4 on Altitude TV.

From The Onion:
– Wealthiest Americans Ominously Remind Nation They Could Easily Drop Another $10 Billion On Election:
WASHINGTON—Calmly stating that they would not even need to think twice about doing so, the nation's wealthiest individuals ominously reminded the populace during a press conference Wednesday that they could easily drop another $10 billion on the 2016 election. "We want to make it completely clear to voters that there's absolutely no reason—none at all—why we couldn't shell out another $10 billion between now and next November," said casino magnate Sheldon Adelson on behalf of the top tenth of a percent of income-earners in the U.S., adding that creating dozens of new and extremely well-funded super PACs would mean practically nothing to them. "Trust me, we've got plenty to throw around, so it really wouldn't be a problem. We could spread it around a bunch of congressional races, or, heck, we could put it all on one presidential candidate—it doesn't really affect us much either way. Why don't we toss in a billion right now just to give you a taste?" The nation's wealthiest families then added that they would have no problem repeating the process for the next 30 election cycles before silently walking off the stage.

Company 3 Supports Public Service Effort Promoting Breast Cancer AwarenessProvides post services for film focusing on families of cancer patients (February 21, 2006)
Company 3 recently lent its support to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation and Giraldi Suarez Productions toward the production of a short film and an accompanying public service advertising campaign designed to raise awareness of breast cancer and its impact on families. A leading supplier of post production services to the advertising and entertainment industries, Company 3 provided color correction and other post services for the project and also lent its studios as a location for the shooting of the film.
The film and PSA campaign were written, directed and produced by Giraldi Suarez Productions Bryan Litman, who was inspired in part by his mothers recent struggle with breast cancer. Litmans father, J. Walter Thompson, New York, creative Michael Litman, served as creative director. The spot was edited by Scott Rankin of Northern Lights.
The film offers fresh insight into breast cancer by focusing on the diseases effect on patients families through interviews with the loved ones of recent breast cancer survivors. The film also includes segments with Evelyn H. Lauder, Founder of The Breast Cancer Research Foundation, and other experts in the field who discuss current efforts to find a cure.
?Breast cancer never affects just one person; everyone close to the patient is impacted too, explained Bryan Litman. ?Our intent was to make a film about the larger circle of breast cancer survivors and to communicate the message that no one goes through it alone.
Litman sought support for the project from other members of the New York film and advertising community. Giraldi Suarez Productions, where Litman works as a producer, agreed to produce the film. Northern Lights Post provided editorial facilities and Company 3 provided color correction and final post services. Litman also shot most of the interview segments in Company 3s studios in Manhattan.
Litman had previously worked with Company 3 on commercial and independent film projects. ?We wanted to work with people whom we knew and who were as excited and interested in making this film as we were, he said. ?We were very appreciative of the willingness of Company 3, and others involved in the project, to lend their time, effort and creativity.
Company 3 Colorist Billy Gabor performed the color correction work. As Litman recorded the interviews on digital video, Gabors role was to enhance the visuals by giving them a filmic look and to help set the mood. ?We wanted it to feel serious and emotional without looking manipulated, said Gabor. ?We wanted people to feel the humanity.
The interviews with the family members of breast cancer patients are meant to be more than informational, according to Litman. They are intended to inspire empathy among viewers. ?We want to draw people into the stories, Litman said. ?We hold for a long time on faces, and we show a lot of reaction shots. We also make good use of composition and color.
?Billy was very helpful with that, Litman added. ?He knows how to direct the viewers focus to certain aspects of the frame. He knows how to make a face look interesting when its on the screen for an extended period of time. He gets it.
Litmans finished 10-minute film will be used in The Breast Cancer Research Foundations fundraising efforts. Additionally, Litman used the material to cut a series of 30-second television spots that will be distributed to broadcasters nationwide.
Company 3 New York, is located at 545 Fifth Avenue, 5th floor, New York, New York 10017. For more information, call Stefan Sonnenfeld at (310) 255-6600.
Company 3 Santa Monica, is located at 1661 Lincoln Blvd. Ste. 400 Santa Monica, California 90404. For more information, call Stefan Sonnenfeld at (310) 255-6600.

Last night, the International Association of Culinary Professional (IACP) held its annual cookbook awards in Portland, OR, to acknowledge the best in recipe and literary food writing, photography, styling, and reporting. Ruth Reichl [1] (who co-hosted the awards with Times writer Kim Severson), John Besh, and Thomas Keller [2] all took home top prizes [3].
Despite the stiff competition [4], Besh's My New Orleans Cookbook beat out Marcus Samuelsson's New American Table; Keller's Ad Hoc at Home nabbed a prize over How to Roast a Lamb by Michael Psilakis; and Reichl's anthology Gourmet Today edged out compilations from the editors of Cooking Light and Southern Living magazines.
I'm itching to snag a copy of Gourmet Today now more than ever. What IACP cookbooks are on your wish list?

Kygo and Ella Henderson make a great team. We can't get enough of their new single "Here For You," and now we're obsessed with their cover of Taylor Swift's "Wildest Dreams."
The producer/DJ and the British singer/songwriter appeared on BBC1's Live Lounge where they performed their collab together, as well as a cover of T-Swift's latest single -- and it will give you LIFE. Their cover showcases Ella's stunning vocals as Kygo plays "Wildest Dreams" on the piano, accompanied by light percussion. We'd say T-Swizzle would be proud.
Kygo and Ella released their new song "Here For You" in early September, and shared the music video late last month.

Well worth it, guide was attentive and knowledgeable.
Excellent tour
Excellent guide, well worth it
Great tour, very knowledgeable and charming guide
It was very pleasant to ride on the Bosphorous, and the Egptian Bazaar inside smelled wonderfully!
Really great half day tour. The Egyptian bazaar was an amazing overload of sights sounds and scents!!! The Bosphorus cruise was very interesting- loved seeing Istanbul from the river.
Excellent cruise.
Great half day tour. It ends up being about a 45 min tour of the Spice Market. Enough time to buy some baklava and Turkish delight. Then onto a boat cruise for about 90 mins. Good chance to get some pics along the river. Great afternoon!
Great tour, the Bosphorus cruise is a must if you go to Istanbul, it gives you a different perspective of the city and is very relaxing, the group was small and we had a boat only for us!
This was a great tour, and a wonderful experience. Bulit, my guide walked me through the streets, introducing me to typical Turkish fare. The whole experience was delectable. A must do if you like to try and experience new and different cuisines.
i'm giving it five stars because it was so well organized. We arrived from the US in the morning and were picked up promptly at 1 o'clock. This was the perfect way to start our vacation in Istanbul after traveling about 24 hours and not wanting to waste a moment. Views from the Bosporus were incredible. The tour was an excellent value. I recommend.
Great experience. everyone is really friendly at the bazaar. our tour guide, Omar, was great.
driver arrived promptly at hotel for pick up....met our our guide very professional friendly and knowledgeable realy enjoyed tour...good value.
Great tour, the Bosphorus cruise is a must if you go to Istanbul, it gives you a different perspective of the city and is very relaxing, the group was small and we had a boat only for us!
Johan South Africa
Intersting way to learn someting about Istanbul in a short time and enjoyig yje views down the Bosphorus
This is must see when you are in Istanbul. The perspective of the city from the boat is a different.
Fantastic guide, really informative and engaging. Spice market was eye opening! A must see in Istanbul, followed by a leisurely and enjoyable cruise. All in all a great tip and decent value for money.
Dolores J D USA
Great tour guide and an interesting choice of places to show us in the spice bazaar. Enjoyed the pet supplies area and the birds, even big jars of leeches, which locals were buying for medicinal purposes, don't ask! The cruise was scenic and relaxing. Well worth your time.
Most enjoyable and a very informative guide who was most helpful and friendly. The views were spectacular and the market was great
The tour, the guide all was very good. We realy enjoyed it.
This was our first tour so I recommend to do this first. It was absolutely delightful. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.
Joyce United States of ...
Wow what a great day. The weather was perfect on the water. A wonderful slow cruise down the Bosphorus.
Open air boat. Bring a wrap in case it is a bit windy. Nice boat crew. The Spice market was so much fun. So many people everywhere. If you happen to go back on your own, if on a Saturday, that is market day. So many people to look at. FUN FUN! Tasting treats everywhere!
Derya was a very good tour guide. Extremely pleasant, knowledgeable and very good english. Tour is interesting but the fun part comes at the spice market. Is a must see!!

"Fantastic holiday, all you could wish for."
Having travelled to this region of France before, we were still surprised by what a lovely setting our gite was in, Fabulous unspoiled views of the surrounding countryside one way, and a charming picture postcard village the other. Inside the gite we had another surprise, the pictures on the web site didn't do it justice, the rooms are lovely, with masses of space, which really helped, as we were a party of seven adults and only two children. The beds were really comfy, and we had lovely fluffy White bath towels. On arrival we had a lovely welcome by the owners Bryan and Jane, who had made us homemade Pizza and wedges, also a welcome basket, that had some basic supply's, which always helps. What I found really helpful was that the gite had initial supply's of toilet rolls, washing up liquid and cleaning products. During our stay we were lucky to have amazing weather and were able to utilise the pool often, I must say the pool was really lovely, as it wasn,t a salt water pool, like you find in some French gites, not forgetting that it overlooks an amazing view. The pool is shared with the owners and the other gite, but for us this was an advantage, as we were able to spend some lovely evenings with Bryan and Jane and our two children loved playing with theirs. We all enjoyed our Holiday at Meadow View, for a party with ages ranging from 76 to 7 including an older teenager, I think we hit the jackpot, and will definitely be returning next year. Thank You Bryan and Jane
"Wonderful Cottage, Lovely Area, Great Owners, Fantastic Holiday"
We received warm welcome from the owners Jane & Bryan, and the complementary pizzas & potato wedges they made for our arrival was an incredible gesture and took the pressure off cooking on our first night after the drive down. The gite was a lot larger than we expected and the photos on the website don't do it any justice, it is by far more outstanding and with all the equipment and comfort that is needed for a two week family holiday. The pool and terrace area was breath-taking, with amazing views across the rural countryside. The kids love splashing in the pool and it was very refreshing to cool off, on the very hot sunny days. The garden was all fenced off, so was very safe for the children and there was plenty for the kids to do with the trampoline, sandpit and swings. Jane and Bryan even provided a baby swing for our toddler which we felt was a very thoughtful touch. The various lakes with the beaches in the area provided the children with enjoyment and it just goes to show that you don't need the go to the coast to build sandcastles! The towns and villages we visited gave us a wide insight in the French life. We had some lovely meals out and the 'plat de jours' give a taste of French cuisine and are extremely good value for money. The location is very relaxing and it's the ideal holiday to unwind and take time out to enjoy a good book and spend time with the family. We would definitely recommend this gite to our friends and family, and we have already booked for August.
its all Perfick! As Pa Larkin would say from the Darling buds of May. From Start to finish everything was great! We got a friendly and genuine welcome from Brian, Jane and their children. A lovely welcome drink or two as well, which was a nice touch. We were home from home before you could say cheese and wine. The Property was clean, tidy and very well presented. Everything we needed was in the property and on the one occasion it wasn't Brian sorted it for us almost immediately. There isn't anything bad I can say about this place. The Property was excellent, Brian and Jane were lovely, the area is beautiful with lots to explorer and do. If I was being really picky then maybe a larger flat screen TV would of been nice for movies in the evening but I'm told this is being done anyway. We had our three small children with us. They loved the swimming pool and garden with lots for them to do. We will be returning soon. Many thanks Brian and Jane.
"Excellent Beautiful accomodation and setting"
Last year we stayed in the recently renovated 4 bedroom Gite, which boasts good living space with neutral interior throughout and all the luxuries and basics you require when holidaying with your family. Myself, my husband and children enjoyed the swimming pool which had lots of space around for the Children to play and for us to relax and admire the rolling countryside around us. Whist we were there we visited lake Vassivere which has a beach and plenty of watersports. we visited lots of traditional French towns and villages during our stay and sampled lots of lovely French Pastries! Mr and Mrs Housely were a lovely couple who made us very welcome staying with them and we cant wait to go back to stay with them again this year.
"Lovely quiet location but plenty to do in the area"
Lovely location on the edge of the village with great views over the fields. The children aged 7 and 11 loved the pool and the outdoor space. We would recommend visits to the Lake at Gueret, Lake Vassiviere and the Wolf Park. Friendly and helpful owners and will definitely visit again.
"peace & tranquility , fantastic scenery from your window ,friendly nice hosts"
I stayed in Meadow View for two months April/May 2011 while awaiting purchase of my own french property to be finalised ,If you dont know France this is the place to fall in love with it the scenery around every corner is breath taking , the Family are English and couldnt be more helpfull , jovial ,and friendly , for a family with young children it would be ideal as set in a quiet village with no through traffic ,you can fish in the meandering stream that passes through the village ,walk unhindered by traffic ideal if you have a dog as i did ,and the locals english & french couldnt be more friendly , the gite has chickens ,a turkey , wandering around typically french and nice to see, the accomodation was spotless , large airy rooms to spread around in , and full of country charm ,beams and wood burning stove which was great on a chilly night with a bottle of wine .

Awesome book!
I love this app! It's a good book and it's really cool how you can read each story line. I will read the same chapter twice and it feels like a whole new chapter when you're following a different character's perspective!
Fine novel, incomprehensible app
About three quarters through this very enjoyable novel, I read there was a companion app. Curious, I downloaded it. I cannot for the life of me figure out what it is supposed to do for me, or how it enhances the novel. Aside from a map of episodes and some text from the book, there seems to be nothing here.

text: I was hoping someone might be aware of a local option in San Diego or surrounding areas, as long as the gas is cheaper than shipping, to pick these up. Gorillashipper.com seems to have the best shipping rates, and they still charge $76 for their smallest quantity 12-bottle shipper package (which, at 25 boxes minimum, gets you 300 bottles worth of packaging). Total price for that is $231. Nestable storage is great with these, but if I can't buy them in smaller quantities like the UHaul styro shippers the savings and small footprint isn't worth it.

State pardon: Impeach Jonathan if he doesn't rescind decision – CPC tells Senate
Following unconditional pardon president Jonathan granted former Governor of Bayelsa State, Diepreye Alamieyeseigha and erstwhile Managing Director of Bank of the North, Shettima Bulama, the Congress for Progressive Change, CPC, has called on the Nigerian Senate to "commence impeachment proceedings for gross abuse of executive authority and total disregard for the feelings of the Nigerian people."
CPC, in a statement by the National Publicity Secretary, Engr. Rotimi Fashakin said this is the firm time in recent time whereby persons convicted on corruption charges were granted amnesty.
According to the CPC, the President's decision was an embarrassment to the country, adding that the impeachment process should be based on gross abuse of executive authority and total disregard for the feelings of Nigerians.
Below is the full text of CPC statement below:
Jonathan's Pardon For Criminality
"On Tuesday, 9th March, 2013, the Council of States, an advisory body to the President in Nigeria's infrastructure on Political governance, was reported to have assented to Presidential Pardon for Mr Diepreye Alamieyeseigha (former Governor of Bayelsa State), Shettima Bulama (former head, Bank of the North), Lt Gen Oladipo Diya (former Chief of General Staff), Major-General Tajudeen Olanrewaju, Major-General AbdulKareem Adisa, Major Bello Magaji, Mohammed Lima Biu, Major Seun Fadipe.
"The decision was hinged on the Provisions of Section 175 (1-3) of the Nigerian Constitution. Indeed, subsection 3 expressly states that: The President, acting in accordance with the advice of the Council of state, may exercise his powers under subsection (1) of this section in relation to persons concerned with offences against the army, naval or air-force law or convicted or sentenced by a court-martial.
"Understandably, there was palpable feeling of outrage among Nigerians (at home and the Diaspora) on the amnesty granted to Mr Diepreye Alamieyeseigha and Shettima Bulama. The reason for this was that, these two Nigerians were convicted for obscene corruptive tendencies and nauseous rapacity. Whilst Shettima Bulama was apprehended for embezzling the funds of his employers, Bank of the North; Diepreye Alamieyeseigha (as Governor of Bayelsa) was arrested in UK for laundered $3.2million in cash and Bank accounts.
"He subsequently jumped bail and returned to Nigeria before being impeached by 17 out of the 24-member Bayelsan state assembly. The arraignment before a Federal High Court found him guilty and was sentenced accordingly. What is galling in the entire saga was the sheer impunity exhibited by the obsequious apologists of this corruption-prone Presidency of Dr Goodluck Ebele Jonathan. Dr Doyin Okupe, the garrulous and overly cocky special Assistant to the President on Public affairs, told a bewildered Nation (on behalf of his Boss), "I owe nobody any apology."
"The hubris of that assertion is seen in the inebriation with power that is often linked with holders of executive authority in Nigeria. The Nigerian state, as a State Party, is a signatory to the United Nations Convention against Corruption enacted through the General Assembly resolution: 58/4 of 31 October 2003. As reasons for this legal instrument, the UN Secretary –General stated inter-alia that: "Corruption is an insidious plague that has a wide range of corrosive effects on societies. It undermines democracy and the rule of law, leads to violations of human rights, distorts markets, erodes the quality of life and allows organized crime, terrorism and other threats to human security to flourish. This evil phenomenon is found in all countries—big and small, rich and poor—but it is in the developing world that its effects are most destructive.
"Corruption hurts the poor disproportionately by diverting funds intended for development, undermining a Government's ability to provide basic services, feeding inequality and injustice and discouraging foreign aid and investment. Corruption is a key element in economic underperformance and a major obstacle to poverty alleviation and development."
"The Power of Prerogative of Mercy granted to Presidents in various jurisdictions, though discretional, is expected to be exercised with perspicacity and utmost circumspection. From President Gerrard Ford's amnesty to the impeached Mr. Richard Nixon (of the Watergate scandal fame) to President Shehu Shagari's pardon extended to General Yakubu Gowon and Chief Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu; Prerogative of mercy have always been used to rehabilitate individuals convicted of political transgressions after unmistakable show of penitence.
"From any recollection of contemporary history on Prerogative of mercy, this is the first time that convicted felons- individuals that have destroyed the moral fabric of society through unbridled grand larceny- would be granted presidential pardon! President Goodluck Jonathan, known for devious schemes, had tried to conflate political transgressions and criminal infractions in the lame attempt at hoodwinking a Nation with this obviously nauseating Pardon to his former political benefactor. Though the ostensible and much-trumpeted reason is for national cohesion, we have on good authority that the main reason is a self-serving agenda by the Jonathan regime ahead of the 2015 election. Under the Nigerian extant law- which prescribes a 10-year disqualification for any ex-convict- Chief Alamieyeseigha is ineligible for any electoral contest in 2015 since his conviction was done in 2006. As a Party, we are aware of the burden of responsibility on us to lend our voice to the vociferous condemnation of this 'pardon for brazen criminality' by the Jonathan administration.
"The wider implications of the infra-dig by this regime concerning the issue are very worrisome. Section 175 (1d) of the Nigerian Constitution which deals with amnesty states: 'remit the whole or any part of any punishment imposed on that person for such an offence or of any penalty or forfeiture otherwise due to the State on account of such an offence. 'Does this imply that, by this amnesty, the assets unjustly accumulated by Chief Alamieyeseigha and forfeited to the Nigerian state shall be remitted to him in part or whole?
"Would this not send wrong signals to the International community that Nigeria is a big enclave of institutionalized corruption? .Would this not discourage potential investors and extirpate the implementation of the much-touted Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)? .By this action, is the Jonathan regime not festering the cankerworm of corruption and implicitly encouraging the succeeding generation on imbibing that culture? "Would this action not be antithetical to the spirit and letter of the UN charter against Corruption to which Nigeria is a signatory to?
"Without any scintilla of doubt, Dr Goodluck Jonathan, as President, has ceased from serving the collective interest of the Nigerian people and the Nation state. He seems more pre-occupied with political maneuvers- that are deleterious to the corporate existence of the Nation state- than ensuring good governance through enunciation of policies that do not offend the ethno-religious balance of the polity. It is therefore our considered view- in the Congress for Progressive Change (CPC) – that the Nigerian Senate should mitigate this national embarrassment from the President's action by suing for rescission of this amnesty order on Mr Diepreye Alamieyeseigha and Mr Shettima Bulama; or in the event of refusal, to commence impeachment proceedings for gross abuse of executive authority and total disregard for the feelings of the Nigerian people.

STATE PARDON: BULAMA AND DSP ALAMIEYESEIGHA were convicted for gross CORRUPTION and hence they MUST serve their prison terms accordingly. Granting these two THEIVES freedom by GEJ simply means we are in SATANIC RULE! The Presidency, quite convincingly and truly is CORRUPT AND INSANE! Behold theIr new political slogan: " ALL HAIL CORRUPTION TRANSFORMATION AGENDA- REVEALED" – The Presidency……

Susan Kennedy's Retrograde Amnesia, Neighbours, 2002
Who knew that people actually slipped on spilt milk but in 2002 dear Susan Kennedy took a tumble on a dairy spillage, crashing to the kitchen floor and sustaining a life-altering head injury. When Susan came round she had lost three decades of her life and was convinced it was 1972 and the night after her sixteenth birthday, where she'd got pissed on fizz. Righto.
Perhaps even more unexpectedly than Susan's accident and subsequent amnesia was when Oscar-winning actor Eddie Redmayne credited Alan Fletcher and Jackie Woodburne who play Karl and Susan for teaching him much of his craft. Last year he told Elle UK: "They are the greatest unsung acting duo in history. Watch, and you'll find that everything they do is on another level of genius. I really do think so." Soz Eddie but we'd have to disagree.
The Baby Swap, Eastenders, 2011
Albert Square has had its fair share of drama but EastEnders really upped the ante and got housewives in a tiswas with the baby swap storyline in 2011. Ronnie Branning (nee Mitchell, so naturally she's hard as nails) and Kat Slater both gave birth to sons on December 30th. When Ronnie's newborn baby dies from sudden death, she heads out into the Square in despair, still clutching her deceased child.
After coincidentally overhearing Kat Slater's newborn son Tommy crying from outside the Queen Vic she creeps into the famous pub and swaps the babies. Bit much for family viewing over the festive season, no? 8,400 complaints to the BBC later and Ronnie eventually confessed and went to prison.
The Tram Crash, Coronation Street, 2010
What better way to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Corrie than with a huge explosion and freak tram accident that wiped out key cast members. The storyline aired across the birthday week in December 2010, with a special live episode broadcast on 9th December.
In the action-packed real-time episode which featured some superb visual effects, Nick Tilsley and Leanne Battersby's bar, The Joinery, exploded (damn gas leaks) during Peter Barlow's stag party. As a result, the viaduct running above the restaurant collapsed, sending a tram careering onto the street which in turn destroyed the Corner Shop and The Kabin.
Ashley Peacock was crushed by falling debris, Molly Dobbs died of internal injuries when waiting to be rescued from the rubble and Charlotte Hoyle was struck on the head by a hammer and later declared brain dead. The fourth death was an unknown, unsuspecting taxi driver, which caused a massive uproar on the internet. The cabbie's death was uncalled for.
Ben Mitchell Turns Murderer, Eastenders, 2012
In 2012, sweet, innocent Heather Trott, the George Michael-loving laundrette lady was clobbered over the head by Ben Mitchell, the former performing arts-enthusiast turned cold-blooded killer. The once all-singing-all-dancing Ben (he's Phil Mitchell's son so that didn't last long) struck lovely Hev over the head with a photo frame after a blazing row.
Mitchell Jnr also found time to sleep with his cousin Lola (don't worry she's merely his third cousin-once-removed) and father a child. Quite the busy bee.
Bobby Beale Turns Murderer, Eastenders, 2015
After the most drawn-out whodunit plot in the history of television, the nation, or rather the handful of people that still watch Easties, was left pretty disappointed upon discovering that 11-year-old Bobby Beale killed big sis Lucy. Apparently it was because "she upset everyone."
There are some truly remarkable child actors out there but unfortunately Eliot Carrington who plays Bobby Beale isn't one of them.
