Part of the reason it seems that NBC decided to let go of the show was because of the writers strike and how much it hurt the networks. Now that the dust has settled what are your thoughts about streaming content online? I think you have to embrace the new technology, [but] you can't not compensate writers for content on the web. That's just ridiculous. It's a time of change for the industry, for all industries, every single industry is being affected by the web. Network television is already technically free, so when they have sites like...

Bloomingdale's is highlighting sleeveless sheath dresses in its catalog and stores. "She influences the decisions of every single buyer that goes into a showroom," says Stephanie Solomon, fashion...
Such findings help explain why antidepressants haven't quite lived up to their promise. But the University of Pittsburgh's Wisniewski, the lead author of the new study, cautions against interpreting the results as an indictment against greedy drug companies eager to exclude difficult patients in order to show better results. "If the population in a [clinical] trial were more representative, that would come at a cost," he says. Researchers expect a certain number of bad reactions during clinical trials; some of these reactions can cause serious medical problems. If patients enter a trial with multiple complications - if they...
