  • 30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom
    30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom Katrin Horn When the sitcom 30 Rock first aired in 2006 on NBC, the odds were against a renewal for a second season. Not only was it pitched against another new show with the same “behind the scenes”-idea, namely the drama series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. 30 Rock’s often absurd storylines, obscure references, quick- witted dialogues, and fast-paced punch lines furthermore did not make for easy consumption, and thus the show failed to attract a sizeable amount of viewers. While Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip did not become an instant success either, it still did comparatively well in the Nielson ratings and had the additional advantage of being a drama series produced by a household name, Aaron Sorkin1 of The West Wing (NBC, 1999-2006) fame, at a time when high-quality prime-time drama shows were dominating fan and critical debates about TV. Still, in a rather surprising programming decision NBC cancelled the drama series, renewed the comedy instead and later incorporated 30 Rock into its Thursday night line-up2 called “Comedy Night Done Right.”3 Here the show has been aired between other single-camera-comedy shows which, like 30 Rock, 1 | Aaron Sorkin has aEntwurf short cameo in “Plan B” (S5E18), in which he meets Liz Lemon as they both apply for the same writing job: Liz: Do I know you? Aaron: You know my work. Walk with me. I’m Aaron Sorkin. The West Wing, A Few Good Men, The Social Network.

  • Bills Rely on Special Ops
    Bills Rely On Special Ops Article from: The Buffalo News: Sport Article date: October 26, 2008 Acticle by: Mark Gaughan The Bills were about to face San Diego's No. 1-ranked kickoff return unit, and special teams coach Bobby April wanted to use the words of World War II Gen. George S. Patton to drive home a message. "It wasn't the main speech at the start of the movie," said Bills defensive end Ryan Denney. "It was a scene after one of the first battles at some pass, and the Americans had failed, and the troops were wiped out. That's when Patton came in and started instilling discipline, and they started focusing on all the details." The message: The Bills would have to take care of every little assignment against the Chargers. The result: Darren Sproles averaged just 17 yards on four returns, and the Bills controlled the field position. Movie clips are just one of the creative ways April motivates his players, and the Bills' special teams have been an inspired bunch again this season. Solid special teams have helped the Bills to a 5-1 start. The Bills hope special teams can set a winning tone again today when they face the Miami Dolphins. Miami has struggled in kickoff coverage and punt coverage, ranking tied for 31st and 30th, respectively, in those categories. The Bills would love to repeat last year's special teams success in Miami, when a 40-yard punt return by Roscoe Parrish set up Buffalo's winning score. Uncommon esprit de corps has been a hallmark of April's tenure as Bills special teams chief the past five years.

  • On the Morning of July 1, Ranger Sam Wick (27) Climber Kevin Laney, and I Left Camp Schurman Around 06:00 for a Summit Climb. Co
    FALL INTO CREVASSE Washington, Mount Rainier, Emmons Flats On the morning of July 1, Ranger Sam Wick (27) climber Kevin Laney, and I left Camp Schurman around 06:00 for a summit climb. Conditions were excellent with good weather, light winds, and firm snow. Weascended to approximately 12,000 feet where Mr. Laney decided he could not continue ascending the route. Around 10:15, Ranger Wick and Mr. Laney stopped to rest and prepared to descend while I continued ascending toward the summit along with another group of climbers. About 11:15, I received a radio call from Ranger Wick asking for help at Emmons Flats. However, he did not specify the nature of the incident. At this point I was at 13,500 feet. I was able to make a fast descent on skis to Emmons Flats. Arriving there I did not see Ranger Wick or any other activity, so I continued toward Schurman where I contacted Mr. Laney and was informed that Ranger Wick had not yet come into camp and was last seen above Emmons Flats. At this point I realized Ranger Wick had most likely fallen into a crevasse. I instructed Mr. Laney to return to Schurman, make contact with Anne Keller of International Mountain Guides (IMG), relay to her the situation, and help them assemble rescue and medical gear from the Ranger Hut. I then started back uphill toward Emmons Flats to look for tracks that would help me locate Ranger Wick. At 11:48, I called park dispatch inform­ ing them of the situation and requested 780 (Lofgren) be contacted.

  • Deep Calls to Deep Rev. Benjamin Broadbent the Community Church of Sebastopol, United Church of Christ June 7, 2020 – Trinity
    Deep Calls to Deep Rev. Benjamin Broadbent The Community Church of Sebastopol, United Church of Christ June 7, 2020 – Trinity Sunday Scriptures The Israelites groaned under their slavery and cried out. Out of slavery their cry for help rose up to God. God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. – Exodus 2: 23 – 24 Deep calls to deep… - Psalm 42: 7 The Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. – Romans 8: 26 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit… – Matthew 28: 19 I. “I can’t breathe,” he said. He even called him “sir.” “I can’t breathe.” The final moments of George Floyd’s life are now indelibly etched on the American conscience. Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin acted out the latest in an unbroken centuries-long stream of white violence toward black persons. He placed his knee on George Floyd’s neck and he didn’t remove it until 3 minutes after Floyd lost conscience. 1 “I can’t breathe” echoed the cry of Eric Garner on Staten Island in 2014. “I can’t breathe” echoed the cry of Manuel Ellis in Tacoma in March of this year. “I can’t breathe” echoes the shared experience of people of color in our country who for generations have felt the knee of white supremacy, and the full weight of whiteness, on their necks.

  • We Have Kidney Cancer Survivors Stories Inspiration and Advice from Patients and Caregivers
    2012 Edition The Kidney Cancer Association Presents... We Have Kidney Cancer Survivors Stories Inspiration and advice from patients and caregivers Supported by KidneyCancer.org FOREWORD I am always thrilled to meet fellow kidney cancer survivors and their families. When I was diagnosed 18 years ago with Stage III kidney cancer, the only encouragement I received from my surgeon was that he would “make me as comfortable and happy as possible.” As a straightforward New Yorker, I decided that “comfortable and happy” wasn’t going to cut it with me. I very sweetly advised him that I had “comfortable and happy” covered; I needed him to do something more. Following a radical nephrectomy of a 10 cm tumor (that was classified as papillary), I endured one year of low-dose subcutaneous immunotherapy – at the time, the only FDA approved treatment on the market -- and was pronounced cancer-free. Six months later, a lymph node surfaced in my neck; it was malignant. What to do? My oncologist put me on a chemotherapy regimen that combined two other chemical agents. It was an extremely challenging treatment, but it seems to have worked. I have subsequently had all sorts of “quirky” medical issues, “Duringmyexperience but, fortunately, kidney cancer has not been among them. withcancer,Icametorealize During my experience with cancer, I came to realize that one thatonethingwealways thing we always need is HOPE. Kidney cancer statistics are needisHOPE.” daunting and can weigh heavily on one’s state of mind. This is what propelled me to become involved with the Kidney Cancer Association: I wanted to be the voice for those unable to speak up; the shoulder for those who needed a boost; and, most importantly, the one who provided hope when things looked grim.
