This is from a site actually called "Treehugger": Scientists Grow Cheap Biodegradable Solar Using Tobacco Researchers at UC Berkeley have hacked tobacco plants to grow synthetic photovoltaic cells which can then be extracted and sprayed onto any substrate to create solar cells. http://www.treehugger.com/files/2010/01/scientists_create_cheap_biodegradable_spray-on_solar_cells_with_tobacco.php Perhaps a(nother) good reason to quit smoking.

Please keep a lookout for a Lectrosonics SMv Serial #857 Block 25 out on the market. Also stolen was a Sanken COS-11, and a Neopax thigh strap. The feeling here is that it will turn up, however it's been 3 shooting days since it's been seen last, and I'm starting to have my doubts. Thanks for looking! Michael Clark

The top five North American locations and the top five international locations, ranked h…

The news broke yesterday, thanks to Nikki Finke but I'm late in cross posting this. Weinstein Co's Dimension Films Stops Pre-Production On 'Halloween 3D' "So here's what happened: the script only came in Friday, and it was the first draft that Dimension Films had seen. And The Weinstein Co was rushing to get the film into production for a November start date in Shreveport. Bob Weinstein shut down H3D pre-production "because Bob just felt it was rushing too fast." Now Dimension plans to start the film after My Bloody Valentine 3D helmer Lussier is free."

I'm getting a headache from all the inner legal warfare within SAG's Board. Cue the Soap Opera music, please. When we left off on Tuesday, Alan Rosenberg's first attempt at an injunction to stop Douglas Allen from being fired was shot down by a Judge. Rosenberg said "I'll be back." Back he was today - and bang, bang, shot down again. Read it here: http://digitalmedialaw.blogspot.com/2009/02/judge-denies-sag-president-injunction.html RL

Not sure if this is too late, but thought it worth a mention to any NY-based sound people. I'm a big Tekserve fan and this event looks like it could be fun, plus a way to pick up some low-cost gear, if your elbows are sharp enough. http://events.tekserve.com/event/gathering-gear-audio-technology-fair/ Regards, John
