L.A.istas:
The UPN Television Critic Association thing is being held tonight, at Hollywood & Highland, I think starting at around 7:30-8 p.m. Nick Brendon's assistant says if people are going to be outside there, he's usually good about hanging around and signing autographs and taking pictures. Not sure what it'll be like there, but she wanted me to let people know.
And if you go, and meet him, go to NickBrendon.com and give us details.
I'm not sure where this should go, so move it if necessary:
I have a box of Buffy tapes (S1-S4) that I'm willing to part with. It has 13 taped-from broadcast tapes containing almost every episode from Welcome to the Hellmouth through A New Man, plus the full S2 commercial boxed set and 2/3 of the S1 boxed set (I gave away the one with The Puppet Show last year, but those episodes are on the other tapes).
Here is the "buyer beware" part, since I got them on eBay and felt ripped off -- the picture quality is fine, but they do include commercials. Also, the labeling on many of the tapes is, to be kind, minimalist. I do need to at least cover the cost of shipping, so if anyone wants them and will PayPal me $20, send me an email at elisabeth78@juno.com and I'll send them out ASAP. Thankee.
Who loves ya, ladies? Book Soup, Viggo, and me.

Mead Johnson Nutritionals Has Recalled EnfaCare® LIPIL® Infant
Cindy, I can't access your link. Do you have any other information on this recall?
wolfram - I don't have any more information. The link worked when I posted it, but I can't access it either right now. I still have the original email, and tried to get to the article through the link in it, as well. I can't seem to get to anything at the Safety Alerts site right now. I'll try a few times today. If I get it, I'll reprint the article in full, in this space. I didn't read the article as my children aren't on formula (they're not infants).
edited to add from the files of that explains a lot...
I just received this email from the Safety Alerts site:

I suggest trying that to find more on the Baby Formula Recall. Good luck.
Next Monday, 20 January, at 8PM EST, the CBC Radio program Ideas will be presenting an hour-long radio doc about Buffy as a cultural icon. It should be interesting. It's generally a fairly serious show, so I'm wouldn't be surprised if it focuses on academic interest in the Buffyverse. CBC should be available online, and you can check for different feeds depending on your time zone. Unfortunately they do not archive all their programs.
Here's the blurb on their site:
BUFFYWORLD
She slays vampires. She tosses demons into kingdom come. California valley girl or feminist icon? IDEAS producer Mary O'Connell explores why Buffy the Vampire Slayer is a pop culture phenomenon.
Links to different internet feeds across can be found here.
