Sometimes you hear about something, and just want to spread the word, here is a press release we saw that fell into that category...

Tampa Bay Area Girl Needs Bone Marrow Transplant, But Cannot Find Donor

Tampa, FL September 26, 2003 -- A 3-year-old Tampa girl may be the latest victim of a bone marrow donor crisis that is affecting ethnic minorities around the country.

NBC News last night reported a national crisis for ethnic minorities waiting for bone marrow transplants. More than three-quarters of the existing 5 million bone marrow donors in the national registry are Caucasian. That means anyone who belongs to an ethnic minority will have an exponentially more difficult task finding a match. Experts estimate that more than 4,000 people a year, mostly minorities, die from leukemia alone because they can't find a matching donor.

Katia Solomon, the three-year-old daughter of Myron and Tracy Solomon of Carrollwood, falls into the ethnic minority category, and may soon die without a bone marrow transplant. She was diagnosed with Leukemia in April of 2002, has been through a battery of chemotherapy and complications, fought her way into remission, but as of last month, has relapsed and been readmitted to All Children's Hospital to prepare for a life-saving bone marrow transplant. The only problem is that the family, working with the Florida Blood Service, has not been able to find a donor.

While the Florida Blood Service has set up several open blood drives over the next few days in different parts of Tampa Bay, anyone around the country can help this weekend by going to ANY blood bank or bloodmobile donor drive and being tested to see if theya re a match for Katia's bone marrow. Being tested to be donor is easy and fast. Simply advise whichever blood bank you visit that you are testing for Katia A. Solomon, and they will take a small vial of blood from you, and that's it. You'll be notified in a week or two if you are a match, depending on how many tests are sent to the lab.

Who knew? I have to admit, this artciel found over at About.Com gave me a great deal of hope for the entertainment industry working to help its audience members in a special way.

Not currently being involved with the Girl Scouts in any way I had no idea they had partnered with Bend It Like Beckham to show the movie to young girls, and use it to open up discussions about teen issues. What a wonderful thing to have done.

Nov 18th Season 3 of Highlander will be on DVD



Season Three Collection on DVD

The epic HIGHLANDER saga hits full stride in Season Three with a gripping collection of tales that introduce some of the legend's most vital characters and most vaunted weaponry.

When his samurai mentor, Hideo Koto, commits Seppuku, Duncan not only takes on a deathbed oath to forever protect his fallen mentor's family, but also takes possession of the most heralded weapon in the HIGHLANDER collection, the extraordinary Dragon's Head Katana.

A darkly twisted turn of events leads Duncan into a battlefield alliance with the oldest living Immortal, Methos, an alliance that may well end in the death of this legendary being. But all is not somber, as for better and worse, Duncan's life gains some levity when he befriends the jaunty Fitzcairn, a free-spirited and womanizing Immortal played by Roger Daltrey.

Through it all the mystery of the HIGHLANDER unfolds and deepens as his incredible story leaps time and emotions to bring us further into the tortured world of the Immortals. In the end, "There Can Be Only One".

22 episodes and over 700 minutes of extras including:

There is no way to describe our sadness at hearing both

Johnny Cash

and

John Ritter

have passed away.

It can be said, with respect to Johnny Cash, who's wife June Carter Cash passed away just 4 months ago, with this quote form the yahoo article:
"It's a sad day in Tennessee but a great day in heaven," said Merle Kilgore, Cash's best man at his 1968 wedding to the late June Carter Cash and co-author of the hit "Ring of Fire."

"The Man in Black is now wearing white as he joins his wife June in the angel band," he said.

MELISSA GEORGE JOINS THE CAST OF "ALIAS" AS VAUGHN'S WIFE, LAUREN REED

Series has its Third Season Premiere on Sunday, September 28, on ABC

Melissa George has joined the cast of "Alias" as Lauren Reed, an agent with the National Security Council and wife of Michael Vaughn (Michael Vartan).

The electrifying Emmy Award winning spy drama - which has just received an additional 11 Emmy Award nominations, including Outstanding Lead Actress for Jennifer Garner, Outstanding Supporting Actor for Victor Garber and Outstanding Supporting Actress for Lena Olin - returns for an emotionally gripping third season on SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 28 (9:00-10:00 p.m., ET), in the life of CIA agent Sydney Bristow. In her Golden Globe Award-winning role, Jennifer Garner stars in this non-stop thrill ride through espionage, adventure and heart-wrenching drama.

Upon mysteriously awakening in Hong Kong after fighting with doppelganger Francie in Los Angeles, Sydney learned that two years had passed and everyone presumed she was dead... and she has no recollection of those years. Returning to the world she once knew will turn out to be both enlightening and painful, as Sydney searches to discover where she has been and what has transpired during the missing time. She will soon learn that her memories contain pivotal information that various members of the intelligence world are interested in -- and may kill for.

Ms. George's film credits include Fox 2000's recent hit, "Down with Love," "Mulholland Drive," "Sugar & Spice," "The Limey" and "Dark City."

Melissa made her mark on American television in the ABC series, "Thieves." She starred as Rita, a beautiful, high class thief. She also made guest appearances on "Monk" and "Friends."

Born in Australia, Ms. George began roller skating at the early age of five and placed second in the Junior World Skating competition at 14. As a teen she also won the Australian Model of the Year. She is best known in her homeland for her portrayal of Angel Brooks Parish in the award-winning Australian series, "Home and Away."

"Alias" stars Jennifer Garner as Sydney Bristow, Victor Garber as Jack Bristow, Ron Rifkin as Arvin Sloane, Michael Vartan as Michael Vaughn, Carl Lumbly as Marcus Dixon, Kevin Weisman as Marshall Flinkman, Melissa George as Lauren Reed, Greg Grunberg as Eric Weiss and David Anders as Mr. Sark.
