Showtime wants ‘Arrested Development’
The folks at Showtime aren’t coy about their interest in “Arrested Development.” They’re salivating over the series.
Showtime (part of the CBS Corp. within Viacom) has made an offer to Twentieth Century Fox for the show, contingent on Mitch Hurwitz continuing as the creative force behind it.
“And he hasn’t yet come to that decision to continue the show,” said Robert Greenblatt, Showtime’s entertainment chief….

CANOE — JAM! Television – TV Shows – Arrested Development: ‘Arrested Development’ rescue eyed
PASADENA, Calif. — Here’s the latest development with Arrested Development.
The U.S. premium cable channel Showtime — home of such series as Huff, The L-Word and Weeds — is definitely trying to rescue the series.
“Nothing would make us happier than to have it,” Showtime entertainment president Robert Greenblatt told critics Thursday.
…
“I think the show is only worth continuing if Mitch Hurwitz was at the helm running it,” says Greenblatt. “And he hasn’t yet come to that decision to continue the show.”

Snake ‘befriends’ snack hamster
Snake ‘befriends’ snack hamster
A rodent-eating snake and a hamster have developed an unusual bond at a zoo in the Japanese capital, Tokyo.
Their relationship began in October last year, when zookeepers presented the hamster to the snake as a meal.
The rat snake, however, refused to eat the rodent. The
two now share a cage, and the hamster sometimes falls asleep sitting on
top of his natural foe….

Welcome to the Works of Lance M. Brown
Hello, and welcome to my online portfolio.
I’m Lance Brown, and I’ve done a lot of different tasks in the general fields of communications, organization, public relations, activism, and the spaces in between those things. Some of the specific tasks have included desktop publishing, event planning, writing and editing, public speaking, and the creation of several websites.
Here I’m gathering a collection of as many of my creations as I can, for a few reasons. Partly to serve the standard portfolio purpose: “See, this is what I have done.” Partly to provide examples (and, when possible, customizable templates) for other folks to use in their own event planning, organizing, and activism. And partly because the items here will likely serve useful in the future, in variations on the first two partlies.
Items are being sorted by type of item (posters, letters, etc.) as well as by event or organization. You can browse these categories or search by keyword over on the left side of these pages. You can also check out other aspects of my online presence via the “Navigate Me” links, also on the left.
If you are an activist or non-profit organizer that would like some help or advice, or are someone who would like to hire me, or a long lost friend, please feel free to contact me.
Thanks for your visit!

Big-dreamer Col. Norman Vaugn dies at age 100
Col. Norman Vaughan, dies at age 100
LEGACY: From Byrd expedition to 13 Iditarod starts, he dreamed big and inspired others.

Refusing to “grow old” to the very end,
irrepressible dog musher and world adventurer Col. Norman Vaughan died
in an Anchorage hospital Friday amid family and friends — just four
days past his 100th birthday.
Vaughan’s life as a sportsman, soldier and
entrepreneur spanned the 20th century, but it was his buoyant example
of how an active outdoor life doesn’t have to end at age 70, or 80, or
even 90 that inspired legions of admirers.
At 84, Vaughan was still entering and
completing the 1,100-mile Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race from Anchorage
to Nome as the self-proclaimed “oldest and slowest” musher in the world.
At 89, he climbed a 10,320-foot Antarctic
peak that Adm. Richard Byrd named in his honor 65 years earlier during
their historic 1928-1930 South Pole expedition. He was assisted on the
climb by his wife, Carolyn Muegge-Vaughan, and Alaska mountain guide
Vern Tejas.
“I know how to dream big dreams,” Tejas said later, “but Norman dreams impossible dreams. That’s what I want to learn from him.”
