NEW YORK (AP) – Mayor Michael Bloombergs administration is launching a program to train women, minorities and struggling New Yorkers for jobs in film and television production.
There were more than just the sound of waves lapping on Waikiki beach last night. More than 10,000 people attended the premiere of the first episode of the final season of LOST. I’m surprised the producers held such a public screening. With the lightening speed of social media I would bet money the details of the first episode are on Twitter today. However, I believe no true LOST fan would dare search out any spoilers. Why? Well, speaking as a LOST fan – I want to be thrilled by every second as it unfolds during its appointed time slot on ABC, Tuesday’s at 10PM EST.

If you can’t find me on location, in a studio, or supervising an edit session, the next place to look would be my cozy living room reading chair. In truth, I don’t get to spend as much time in that chair as I would like – but I still manage to indulge my reading passion every chance I get. I used to carry at least three books in my purse, along with the required lipstick, blush brush the size of a tree trunk, pens, scotch tape, Kleenex, wallet, chocolates, and anything else I might need should I find myself stranded on the subway. But the weight of it all began to throw my back out of wack as though I’d been dancing at a disco revival hall all night long. The only solution was an e-reader. Hundreds of books, all in one place, with the ability to pick and choose if the current book I was reading wasn’t quite capturing my attention.
