WHAT: The Change We Need: Can Either Presidential Candidate Reform Heath Care?
In the face of a faltering economy, where will health care rank among the next president's top priorities?
Just weeks before the election and two nights after a presidential debate, political experts and commentators will give the inside scoop on how much health reform to expect in the new administration.
Mark Halperin, editor-at-large and senior political analyst for TIME and author of the recent book The Undecided Voter's Guide to the Next President, takes a break from the campaign trail to moderate the panel:
• Chris Lehane, Democratic strategist, former press secretary to Vice President Gore and former spokesperson and counsel to President Clinton; and
• Adam Mendelsohn, strategic communications consultant who served as deputy chief of staff for Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger from the end of 2005 to early 2008. He is currently the Governor’s political advisor.

Cuando se celebra una nueva reunión paritaria con el gremio de Encargados, una ola de descontento general agita a la opinión pública. Sobre todo, proveniente del sector de propietarios con bajos ingresos o sueldos mínimos, y de la clase pasiva: jubilados y pensionados, que en nuestro país, constituyen una parte numerosa de la población.
La situación consiste lisa y llanamente en un total desprecio por los derechos de las personas que viven o trabajan en edificios de Propiedad Horizontal. Los Consorcios de todo el país están siendo víctimas de dos grupos corporativos que han hecho del sector un fácil coto de caza. Y lo más irritante aún, es que todo el sistema funciona con el visto bueno del propio Ministerio de Trabajo.

“Mirror Image” A Photorealist Group Show at Karen Lynne Gallery on September 9, 2008
Beverly Hills, CA – Karen Lynne Gallery is delighted to present “Mirror Image,” a new exhibition of photorealist works featuring a variety of artists who are continually pushing the boundaries of artistic creativity. Photorealism is a technique that captures reality by painting the image onto the canvas with such precision that the result is uncanny. With links to previous art movements, such as Pop Art and Minimalism, Photorealism has outlasted its early beginnings in the 1960s and continues to infiltrate the art scene today.
Drawing inspiration from the surrounding world or personal experiences, these images and forms are beautifully depicted as in Anna Halldin-Maule and Marcelo Zampetti’s figures or the simplicity of a lovely bowl of cherries blown out to extreme proportions in the work of Michel Pellus.

This show is a mixture of theater, film, dance, animation, music... and some water. It's being done by the emerging avant garde theater director Sheila Vand- and is unlike any show you have seen before. The show will be going up at the beautiful 500 seat Tom Bradley Theater at the Los Angeles Theater Center on August 8,9,10,16,and 17 (all at 8 p.m.).
The synopsis is "Experience this surreal, experimental blend of story- telling that explores the psyche of two siblings who never really recovered from their big brother's suicide. While Marion Blue is stuck on a couch, convinced that nothing is real and nothing is true, her brother Elliot is in a rut of his own, stuck in a bathtub on the set of a film he knows nothing about. We enter their heads and explore their shared pain, only to realize how impossible it is for them to share it with each other."

Hosted by the Original Kings of Comedy, D.L. Hughley and Hilary Duff’s drummer Shauney Baby, it will feature live music from LA’s own Carney, Stereofix and Shawn Hlookhoff with a very special surprise musician and performance (If you contact the Key Club, they can give you information: (310) 724 5800).
There will also be the chance to mix and mingle with some really famous rock photographers, like Jim Marshall, who Annie Leibovitz calls "THE rock photographer."You can view and bid on some of their amazing photos of artists like The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Janis Joplin... the list goes on. A preview of all the artwork can be seen at msfriends.org - even if you don't want to bid, it's worth checking out this collection of iconic rock musicians from the 60s/70s.
The event's starting at 8pm (although if you get VIP tickets, there's a private reception at 6:30 in the Plush Room beforehand, with drinks and hors d'oeuvres, and the chance to mingle with the photographers about their work and experience). Tickets are online at www.keyclub.com.
Rock for MS is the major fundraising event for MSFriends, the only nationwide 24/7 telephone helpline staffed entirely by people living with Multiple Sclerosis, for people living with MS.

While Jesse McCartney has named his album Departure, perhaps what he is experiencing is an arrival into new territory. In fact, during the making of this album, McCartney co-penned (with One Republic's Ryan Tedder) "Bleeding Love" for Leona Lewis, which has become a #1 single worldwide. Several more of his compositions are lining up for release on other artist's upcoming CDs. At sixteen, Jesse launched his solo career, creating songs for his first record while performing on dozens of soundtracks. Released in 2004, Jesse's debut album Beautiful Soul sold over 1.5 million copies, while the first single of the same name burned up the U.S. charts while topping the charts in Australia, Italy, the Phillippines and Taiwan, making "Jesse Mac" a household name in the teen world. Jesse performed to sold out crowds in Europe in 2005. Jesse reflects, "Departure represents a new start for me, a new sound and this is a part of me the fans haven't been exposed to yet! This music really is my passion and I'm ready to get out there and share it!"
At an age when most teens are looking forward to a carefree summer break, Jordin Sparks at 17, graced the stage as the youngest American Idol winner and spent the summer of 2007 crafting her eponymous self-titled debut album. Honing all the confidence, class and breathtaking range of emotion that put her at the epicenter of the entertainment world for most of last year, Jordin poured everything into her album currently out on 19 Recordings/Jive Records. The album spawned two top 10 hits: "Tattoo" and "No Air", her duet with pop star Chris Brown. Both singles were certified platinum! "Overnight success" is overwhelming to anyone at any age' but Jordin Sparks is taking it all in stride and shining brightly with every step.
