Masked Scheduler's Ratings Smackdown We are definitely in the spring malaise. Baseball returning and the political events of the day didn't help. *** In my job as head of scheduling at two networks, I made it my business to avoid dealing with talent both in front of and behind the camera. I did a much better job of staying away from actors than I did from the showrunners of many of our successful shows. I always felt that I would be better at my job if I could go to functions and most people did not know who I was. At FOX I did have one role in the cultivation of talent, and that was whenever a professional wrestler came in for a meeting with our talent department. Marcia Shulman, our head of casting at FOX, would come down to my office and ask if I would meet with a wrestler since they had no idea how to start a conversation. As a result I had the opportunity to hang with Triple H, Chyna and Stone Cold Steve Austin, among others. None of that compares with the time that I was in a room with Don Rickles. I thought about … Continue reading →

Many of the things we use on a daily basis are becoming smart and connected to the Internet. The Internet of Things (IoT) will improve our lives by helping us reach our health and fitness goals, reduce resource consumption, increase productivity, and track and secure our assets. Many embedded developers realise the potential benefits of the IoT and are actively developing various applications, from connected home devices to wearables and home security systems. However, along with these benefits come risks. No one wants to design an application thats prone to hacking or data theft. Undesirable events like high-profile hacks can lead to serious damage to brand images and loss of customer trust, and, in the worst cases, slow down or permanently reduce the adoption of the IoT. The IoT is often referred to as an industrial revolution. The number of connected devices will grow rapidly in the coming years. If there is any disagreement among analysts who follow the IoT, it is in the number of billions of devices that will be connected. The economic value to society is estimated to be in the range of $4-11 trillion dollars. In the race to accelerate time-to-market for connected device products, implementing … Continue reading →

Shonda Rhimes, one of Hollywoods most popular and powerful women, has joined the national board of Planned Parenthood. Rhimes, creator and producer of prime-time television shows Greys Anatomy and Scandal, assumes a formal role in the organization at a time when antiabortion activists and some Republican lawmakers have set their sights on defunding Planned Parenthood. The fact is that womens health is under fire right now, Rhimes said in an interview with Elle Magazine, which first reported the news. And so to me, it feels like its important to help fight back. Rhimes has used her shows to present leading female characters who are celebrated for exercising their agency, and for exploring a range of social issues including abortion. Olivia Pope, the heroine of Scandal, had an abortion in a 2015 episode that also included a floor fight in Congress over defunding Planned Parenthood. In 2011, a female character in Greys Anatomy also had an abortion. [Scandal stuns views with an abortion scene] Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood, told Elle that the organization would look to use Rhimess creative energy and storytelling ability to educate the public about the organizations work. And she couldnt be joining us at a … Continue reading →

A romance between Jackson Avery and Maggie Pierce is certainly one I didn't see coming on ABC's Grey's Anatomy. But it looks like it's brewing whether we like it or not. Fans might remember that just before Maggie's mother took her last breath in the tragic episode of the hit series, she told Maggie she wanted her to actually live a little; lighten up and enjoy her life. To do that, she should be a little "slutty" and promiscuous. Maggie has more than enough room to have a few moments that would be considered out of character. And it might be safe to say it'll happen sooner than we thought. New photos for the upcoming episode, called "What's Inside," show Maggie and Jackson smiling at one another in a weird way that we've never seen before. Actress Kelly McCreary, who portrays Maggie, revealed to TVLinethat Jackson might be the next object of her affection. [WATCH] Grey's Anatomy Teaser: Owen and Amelia Come Face-to-Face and It's Intense>>> "Since all the single-ish guys [at Grey Sloan] are in these sort of ambiguous relationships right now, getting involved with any of them might give Maggie something to be messy about." I can think … Continue reading →

The path to becoming a practicing physician requires dedication and a significant investment of time and resources. I have wanted to be a doctor since I was young, says George Novan M.D., an infectious diseases physician and Associate Dean for Graduate Medical Education at the Elson S. Floyd College of Medicine. But even long-held aspirations come with surprises, and challenges. In his second year of medical school, Dr. Novan had an experience that surprised him, challenged his expectations, and taught him a lesson thats stayed with him throughout his career. In my school, we had a course entitled Death and Dying, Dr. Novan says. As part of the course, each student was assigned a patient who was dying and had agreed to discuss what they were going through with a medical student. I was expecting an elderly patient, and instead, I walked into the room and met a woman in her mid-30s. It was a shock and she saw that in my expression. As she saw my expression, she began to tell me her story. And as her fears, and her emotions came out, she taught me. I had been so focused on all the facts I needed to know … Continue reading →

Thomas Gallatin Apr. 5, 2017 The Washington Post recently ran a story with the provocative headline, GOP lawmaker: The Bible says the unemployed shall not eat. The article referenced comments made during a House Agriculture Committee hearing over the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) a.k.a. food stamps. The original version of the article at least acknowledged that Rep. Jodey Arrington (R-TX) cited 2 Thessalonians 3:10 in a rebuttal to an expert witness a representative from the Jewish anti-hunger group MAZON, who made reference to a passage in Leviticus about feeding the hungry. Yet the Washington Post didnt actually quote Arrington in its rush to indict and label him and Republicans as uncaring and out of touch with the needs of the poor at least not until later revisions were made. The article states, House Republicans have historically cited the verse if a man will not work, he shall not eat as justification for cutting some adults' SNAP benefits. Arrington referenced the verse in a discussion about increasing the work requirements for unemployed adults on the food stamp program. But critics say that advances a pernicious myth about the unemployed who receive SNAP. The truth is it was the Washington Post … Continue reading →
