Black Babies Die More Often Than White Babies.
Is Society to Blame?
A Free Community Forum
The California Endowment
1000 North Alameda Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012
3pm-6pm
For more than a century, African-American infants have died at twice the rate of white infants. This persistent disparity is not entirely explained by medical, behavioral or economic risk factors. Research now suggests that the chronic stress of racism may play a critical role, taking a toll on African-American women's bodies and endangering the health of their children before they even leave the womb. There will be a SCREENING: “When the Bough Breaks” from the PBS series “Unnatural Causes: Is Inequality Making Us Sick?”; PANEL OF USC EXPERTS: Dr. Tyan Parker Dominguez, Assistant Professor of Social Work (featured in the _lm); Dr. Jack Turman, Director, USC Center for Premature Infant Health and Development USC Keck School of Medicine; Dr. Lavonna Blair Lewis, Clinical Associate Professor of Policy, Planning, and Development; and RECEPTION.

BOOKS TO FILM - Panel discussion, presented by IWOSC
Veterans Memorial Building
4117 Overland Ave
Culver City, CA 90230-3733
7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m
Look what they've done to my book, Ma!
What is it like for writers to get the "Hollywood treatment," and what can a novelist expect when his book gets an offer to be adapted into a movie? For that matter, what storytelling qualities help make a novel, biography/memoir, or news article a must-see for the screen? And likewise, how have the lightning pace of movies and TV changed what Larry McMurtry calls "the Culture of the Book"?
Those are some of the main questions IWOSC’s November panel will deal with, featuring a Hollywood "A List" lineup of experts from both sides of the industry: both top writers who have had their material adapted for the screen (or who have worked on adaptations of other people's work)—and the literary agents and executives who help decide WHICH books and articles get a movie deal in the first place.
The panel will be hosted by IWOSC's own Telly Davidson, who last helmed January's "Trends in the Book Biz." Davidson is a film and TV critic with FilmStew.com, Yahoo Movies, and Hollywood Master Storytellers, and has written for publications like Entertainment Today, TV-Now, "H" Magazine, Guitar Player, The213.Net, and the American Film Institute. He has worked on TV's "Pioneers of Primetime" and "Most Outrageous Game Show Moments," and his book on classic television, "TV's Grooviest Variety Shows," was published to top reviews in November 2006. Currently, he is working on other media tie-in projects and has just completed a novel which has attracted the interest of several major agents, and he is also a member of PEN, and working on founding a program to promote and interview young/emerging novelists, poets, and screenwriters.
