THE TIME TO PARTY ISSUE

Ups and downs for Christmas tree lots

BY NICK TABOREK Daily Press Staff Writer

CITYWIDE Even for families that are cutting down on holiday expenses, oftentimes a Christmas tree is something they simply can’t do without.

As a cherished symbol of the season — and an often expensive luxury item — the Christmas tree market is a unique economic bellwether that can provide a special insight into consumers’ holiday moods.

“Our sales went down about 15 percent (last year), but this year they’re back up

again. So I think the economy is showing signs of improvement,” said Eliane Wilk, who has 20 years of Christmas tree selling experience. She and her husband, Shawn, have operated Shawn’s Christmas Trees at SEE TREES PAGE 7

Years in the making

BY DERRICK OLIVER Special to the Daily Press

DOWNTOWN Driving a trolley at the “happiest place on Earth” was not what Steven C. Barber had in mind when he moved to California to pursue an acting career in the 1980s.

Before eventually settling in Santa Monica, the upstate New York native left the chilly regions of the Northeast and went in search of warmer climates. He traveled down south for college, attending Western Kentucky University.

Young and with dreams of making it big, he moved to the “Golden State” to try to find his golden ticket onto the big screen.

However, during his first job out west, he found himself driving a 1974 Chevy and working a 60-hour-a-week job at Disneyland.

Hospital: Actress Murphy dies at the age of 32

3

Hollywood adds money, talent to Internet shows RYAN NAKASHIMA AP Business Writer

CHRISTOPHER WEBER LOS ANGELES Web sites that buy original

Associated Press Writer

LOS ANGELES Brittany Murphy, the actress who got her start in the sleeper hit “Clueless” and rose to stardom in “8 Mile,” died Sunday in Los Angeles. She was 32.

Murphy was pronounced dead at 10:04 a.m. at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, hospital spokeswoman Sally Stewart said. Stewart would not provide a cause of death or any other information.

Murphy was transported to the hospital after the Los Angeles Fire Department responded to a call at 8 a.m. at the home she shared with her husband, British screenwriter Simon Monjack, in the Hollywood Hills.

Los Angeles police have opened an investigation into Murphy’s death, Officer Norma Eisenman said. Detectives and coroner’s officials were at Murphy and Monjack’s home above the Sunset Strip on Sunday afternoon but did not talk to reporters. Paparazzi were camped outside.

Messages left for Murphy’s manager, agent and publicist by The Associated Press were not immediately returned.

Neighbor Clare Staples said she saw firefighters working to resuscitate the actress Sunday morning. She said Murphy was on a stretcher and “looked as though she was dead at the scene.”

Murphy’s husband, wearing pajama bottoms and no shoes, appeared “dazed” as firefighters tried to save her, Staples said. “It’s just tragic,” she added.

TMZ.com first reported Murphy’s death Sunday morning.

Murphy’s father, Angelo Bertolotti, said he learned of her death from his son, the actress’s brother, and was stunned.

“She was just an absolute doll since she was born,” Bertolotti said from his Branford, Fla., home. “Her personality was always outward. Everybody loved her — people that made movies with her, people on a cruise — they all loved her. She was just a regular gal.”

He said he hadn’t heard much about the circumstances of Murphy’s death. Bertolotti divorced her mother when Murphy was young and hadn’t seen Murphy in the past few years.

He said he used to be in the mob and served prison time on federal drug charges.

“She was just talented,” Bertolotti said.

“And I loved her very much.”

video clips often pay so little that “The Bannen Way,” a flashy crime thriller debuting online, looked destined to be made poorly if it could be made at all.

Yet budding filmmakers Jesse Warren and Mark Gantt managed to hire 40-odd staff, including a boom operator, camerapeople — yes, more than one — and even production assistants on hand to offer sunscreen and sandwiches. And the production had actors familiar to some TV and movie audiences, including Michael Ironside, Robert Forster and Vanessa Marcil.

The secret to their success? Treat the Internet run like a TV or movie release, which often loses money on its on-screen debut, but can make healthy profits when issued on DVD or Blu-ray and later sold for reruns on cable or overseas.

With that in mind, major movie studios are now getting behind such productions, giving them a lift in budgets and quality — a far cry from the shaky camerawork and dubious special effects prevalent when Web video became a new phenomenon a few years ago.

For Warren and Gantt, who wrapped up shooting in October, a snazzy trailer they produced helped snag Sony Pictures Television as a partner.

"We came up with this idea,” said Warren, 31. “There’s no limit to how many episodes there can be in a Web series. So why don’t we design it as a (feature-length movie) so we can sell it as a DVD feature at the end?”

Sony executives, it turns out, had the same idea.

The studio picked up the project in April and gave it a budget of around $1 million.

That’s nowhere near the $30 million-plus

Bill Bauer

Stumping for HR 2057 Editor:

The National Grange is the nation’s oldest general farm and rural public interest organization representing nearly 200,000 Grange members affiliated with 2,700 local, county and state Grange chapters. We call on Congress to pass the Motor Vehicle Owners’ Right to Repair Act (HR 2057) in order to protect individual vehicle ownership rights, especially for residents of farming, tribal and rural communities.

Grange members believe American motorists should have to the right to choose how, where and by whom their cars, trucks, motorcycles and other motor vehicles are maintained and repaired. We believe consumers are entitled to full access to all of the repair information for the vehicles they purchase.

However, vehicles are becoming more sophisticated than ever before; virtually every system is either monitored or controlled by computers. Millions of vehicle owners could potentially be forced to return to dealerships for service because their preferred, local repair facilities have been denied access to computer codes and service information from the vehicle manufacturers.

Motorists in rural communities where there are few dealerships are particularly vulnerable. They often travel more than 60 miles per day to work, generating significant wear and tear on their vehicles. Without Right to Repair, they could be forced to tow their vehicles longer distances, adding significant cost and time to repairs and reflecting poorly on their job attendance. Instead they may decide to forgo important vehicle repairs which could jeopardize their safety and the safety of others.

With record numbers of dealerships closing, many motorists are performing their own repairs or are turning to local repair shops for service. In order for these shops to be able to serve those in their community, they must also have full access to the codes and information necessary to diagnose and repair all types of vehicles.

The National Grange encourages our members and all Americans to visit www.righttorepair.org to send a letter to each of their Congressional representatives, urging them to support the Motor Vehicle Owners’ Right to Repair Act (HR 2057).

Holiday wish list unfulfilled MY FIRST HOLIDAY WISH WOULD BE

for our elected officials to get real. A couple of weeks ago, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors approved $707,000 for Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas to remodel his office. Ridley-Thomas told the news media the lavish redecorating was needed to keep his staff motivated. Such wretched excesses are not just confined to L.A. where, “Let them eat cake” is the standard mantra.

Shortly after that outrageous decision, our City Council approved spending $256,850 for “an enhanced audio/video system for City Council Chambers.” A quarter of a million dollars? It must be a gold plated, all digital system with widescreen 3-D and THX sound. Ridley-Thomas will surely want one for his new offices, too. What’s wrong with a megaphone, crank Victrola and a Kodak Carousel slide projector?

Our City Council, which has never heard the term “frugal” or “give taxpayers a break,” also approved a very generous pay package for incoming City Manager Rod Gould, who is replacing the outgoing Lamont Ewell.

Gould’s base salary is $285,000 per year, includes an outstanding benefits package, relocation money, temporary housing assistance and a $1.3 million, low (3.27 percent) interest loan to purchase a home in Santa Monica. This prompted a friend to e-mail me, “It doesn’t appear he’s going to be living in the Pico Neighborhood.”

Another holiday wish is for social engineers to stop telling me how to live my life. To force us to walk, bicycle or take the bus, they support jacking up Downtown parking rates and obstructing roads to make it more difficult to drive. What hubris! Nothing annoys me more than some do-gooder telling me I need to walk more because it’s “healthy” and good for me.

No, my friend, I’ll just drive to where parking is close to my destination, convenient and cheap or free. In the meantime, take your long walk — off the end of a short pier.

Speaking of sustainability, all the fussing about whether people should be allowed to smoke in their own apartments is peanuts compared to thousands of Santa Monica fireplaces belching wood smoke. Any city worth its “sustainable” salt must substantially reduce harmful emissions from both residential and commercial fireplaces.

Most evenings, even during the summer, acrid fireplace smoke covers the town like a cheap rug. You can smell it on the streets just about everywhere. Fumes even seep into homes and apartments, causing dry throat, watery eyes and headaches. I don’t want to think about what it’s doing to our lungs.

Therefore, I wish our so-called environmentally friendly City Council would initi-

ate and pass a strong ordinance that would phase out old wood burning fireplaces and either outlaw them completely in new construction or require a $100,000 fee and an annual operating permit for new wood burning fireboxes.

My next holiday wish is for school cheerleaders, the Santa Monica/Malibu Unified School District Board of Education and administrators to wise up about passing a new “temporary” emergency school parcel tax. The Emergency Parcel Tax Feasibility Committee originally suggested a tax of $425 to completely compensate for an expected budget shortfall of $12 million next fiscal year.

As I predicted, voters polled wouldn’t support such a tax. Last week, the committee spent even more money to poll voter acceptance of a parcel tax between $225 and $300 per parcel. This could go on forever because the fiscally incompetent school board and “tax and spend” school cheerleaders are bound and determined to wring some kind of hit from us instead of prioritizing spending or finding other sources of revenue. I’d start by cutting spiraling legal costs, eliminating non-essential non-academic positions, frills programs and terminate CTA union head Harry Keiley’s $77,206.70 annual “no show” salary.

I wish the bozos riding bicycles would cease riding on sidewalks and stop for stop signs, pedestrians and red lights. Putting your big butt on two wheels doesn’t mean “leave your brain at home.” And stop with the attitude. Rudeness and inconsideration will cause injuries or death. Yours. Not mine.

Once again, I wish for greenery in the Pico Neighborhood. A simple request to plant trees along 20th Street and Cloverfield Boulevard between Pico Boulevard and the I-10 has now turned into an 11 year marathon. A simple request for shade trees has now become an exercise on how to screw up traffic by removing traffic lanes and adding bicycle lanes, crosswalks, medians and traffic islands.

This project is so old it’s growing whiskers because it’s what a couple of council members want, not what neighbors want.

So, the “planning” continues, costs escalate and neighbors grumble. If or when the work is ever done, you can bet the family Prius, nobody will be happy.

Lastly, I wish our ailing mayor, Ken Genser, a speedy recovery.

Coming up ... The 2009 Sammies: Highs, lows and just darn disgusting. Happy Holidays.

EARTH WISE: Some $7 billion in stimulus money has been allocated to help businesses, institutions, public utilities and government agencies reduce their environmental footprints in any number of ways, such as for upgrading fleets to electric or plug-in hybrid cars or trucks, which can score tax credits of between $2,500 and $7,500 per vehicle.

Stimulus bucks help businesses go green Dear EarthTalk I’ve been following reports about President Obama’s stimulus package and what it may mean for creating green jobs.

Beyond that, are there programs in place to help businesses switch to greener raw materials and/or to green up operations overall?

Diane via e-mail

EVEN THOUGH THE PUSH TO CREATE

green jobs is getting the lion’s share of business news headlines right now, almost $7 billion of the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act, the stimulus bill President Obama signed into law earlier this year, has been allocated to help businesses reduce their environmental footprints in any number of ways.

For starters, the stimulus package rewards businesses (as well as individuals) for investments in energy efficiency — that is, for doing more with less power. The federal government has extended its tax credit program for energy efficient business improvements — whereby 30 percent of qualified expenses up to $1,500 can be credited against your tax bill — through 2010. No one knows yet if the program will be extended beyond that, so 2010 could be a great time to finally go for that upgrade you’ve been putting off.

Qualifying upgrades include the installation of central air conditioners, heat pumps, furnaces, boilers, windows, doors and roofing that meet efficiency standards set by the government’s Energy-Star program. Likewise, the costs of upgrading to code-appropriate insulation and sealing as well as installing solar water heaters and biogas or biomass stoves also qualify for the

Working 9 to 9 Santa Monica Police Chief Tim Jackman recently extended for one month a pilot program in which patrol officers work 12.5-hour shifts, three days a week instead of the traditional 10 hours, four days a week. Officers on the 3-12 schedule must also work an additional 10 hour day, once a month.

So, this week’s Q-Line question asks: What are your thoughts on the 3-12 switch?

Should the schedule be made permanent?

Call (310) 285-8106 before Friday at 5 p.m. and we’ll print your answers in the weekend edition of the Daily Press.

tax credit. Business owners beware, though, that they can only claim a maximum of $1,500 combined for all efficiency-related upgrades.

Stimulus money — some $2.3 billion over the next 10 years — is also available to businesses, institutions and government agencies that green up their vehicle fleets and/or take steps to encourage or subsidize employees to go green with their commutes.

Companies that install alternative fuel (ethanol, biodiesel or hydrogen) pumps on site can qualify for tax credits for between 30 and 50 percent of installation costs through 2010. Likewise, businesses that buy electric or plug-in hybrid cars or trucks for their fleets can score credits of between $2,500 and $7,500 per vehicle depending on battery size and fuel efficiency.

Another way businesses can make use of tax credits is to install on-site wind or solar power systems. The federal government will pay up to 30 percent of the set-up cost.

Congress has also allocated $1.6 billion for Clean Renewable Energy Bonds (CREBs) to help finance construction of renewable energy facilities run by public utilities, electric cooperatives and city, state and tribal governments.

Businesses that qualify for any of the aforementioned tax credits should be sure to file IRS Form 5695 with their tax returns and keep all relevant receipts and copies of manufacturer certifications and Energy-Star labels where applicable. Tax advisors can provide more details on how to qualify for these federal incentives, and can also advise as to what additional incentives might be available from states.

Barber tried everything to get his big break, which included starring in countless minor roles in major motion pictures and television shows such as “General Hospital,” “The X-Files,” “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” and the Jean-Claude van Damme film, “Timecop.”

He filled the airwaves as a radio personality, worked the nightclub scene and 19 cruise ships as a disc jockey, and even attempted to become a stand-up comedian.

“I’ve seen the world baby, and it’s round,” Barber said.

However, the travel and the lack of stability began to take its toll. After trying to make it big for years, and facing bitter rejection, Barber decided to give up on acting.

“I lost total interest,” said Barber. “It’s just too difficult to get work.”

CHANCE ENCOUNTERS

While returning to California, he eventually found his home in Santa Monica and suddenly found himself applying his experience on hundreds of movie and television sets to the art of filmmaking and production.

“I got into filmmaking quite accidentally.

I was a writer and an actor, and I was working for a big advertising agency,” said Barber.

“The agency shutdown and we all got a severance and I went out and bought camera equipment.”

It was never Barber’s intention to make a movie, but unknowingly, Barber’s filmmaking experience began when a Los Angeles paraplegic informed Barber about the rigorous race called Challenge Alaska. Deemed the longest wheelchair and handcycle race in the world, participants push their wheelchairs 267 miles through rough terrain of the Denali Mountain Pass between Anchorage and Juneau.

After networking with his high-profile contacts, Barber was able to convince JP Dejoria, CEO of Paul Mitchell, to sponsor the Los Angeles athlete.

Starting off as a marketing campaign for Paul Mitchell, the footage for Challenge Alaska was so moving that Barber felt it was necessary to expand the project to an entire feature.

“When we got to Alaska, I started looking at the footage, [and realized] this is really good,” said Barber. [The footage had] real low angles, [and they] were doing 30-40 miles in their wheel chairs. That’s how it started.”

Narrated by actor Dan Aykroyd, the film follows Chris Kohler, Geoffrey Erickson, and Edwin Figueroa, three of approximately 30 disabled athletes going through mile after mile of intense physical exertion in six days.

Midway through the film, the story transitions to the U.S. paralympic team, focusing on Oz Sanchez and Alijandro Albor as they fulfill their dreams at the 2008 Paralympics in Beijing.

Due to a lack of funding, Barber had to unfortunately halt production on the film, but after three years in the making, “Unbeaten” will make its film debut in early 2010 with the help of Polaris Media Group and a load of high-profile support from the likes of Billy Jean King, Cher, and Steve Forbes.

During the interim period when “Unbeaten” was put on hold, Barber collaborated with WWII veteran Leon Cooper on the documentary, “Return to Tarawa: The Leon Cooper Story.” Cooper was one of the survivors of the three-day battle on the Philippine island of Tarawa in which over a

thousand American servicemen lost their lives.

The root of the film actually stemmed back a decade ago when actor Eddie Albert of “Green Acres” fame invited Barber over to his house explaining his courageous involvement in Tarawa.

Two years ago, Barber randomly struck up a conversation with Cooper who was promoting a post-war cleanup project in Tarawa at the Los Angeles Festival of Books at UCLA. Eventually, Cooper agreed to fund the approximately $200,000 needed to allow Barber and a small crew to accompany Cooper to Tarawa to film the entire journey.

When they arrived, they soon discovered that a significant amount of the bodies of the American soldiers that fought in the battle were still listed as “Missing in Action.”

The project soon turned into a mission to try and bring the remains of these soldiers home to their families.

“Return to Tarawa” debuted earlier this year and has received considerable attention, being showcased on the Discovery’s Military Channel. Barber was even a featured guest, along with Leon Cooper and narrator Ed Harris, on CNN’s Larry King Live on Dec. 19 to talk about the film.

Barber admits that he would never have been able to make these films unless these “divine” chance encounters throughout his life had occurred.

“It’s a miracle, this doesn’t happen,” said Barber. “My [movies] got made, but not in the traditional way of trying; I was looking in left field and money came from right field.”

PRESENT AND FUTURE

Barber is proud of what he has accomplished so far, and is content with where he is right now.

Living in Santa Monica since 1991, Barber finds the city allows him to do everything he loves to do, including his favorite activity of mountain biking from his home to the trails near the top of Mulholland Drive.

“West L.A. has everything, you don’t have to leave. You have Hollywood, the arts, the beach, low traffic compared to the rest of the city, and low smog,” said Barber. “It’s a real city and [has] a lot of character.”

Although he is thrilled with what he has achieved, he is already busy planning future projects that include making more films concerning WWII and continuing his involvement with the disabled community.

For example, Barber hopes, with the release of “Unbeaten,” to release a DVD of the film and have a portion of the proceeds go to the Challenged Athlete Foundation, an organization that has raised over $21 million to help fund the needs of those with physical disabilities, including helping people purchase prosthetic limbs and handcycles.

With all the work he has done, Barber acknowledges he will never become a millionaire, something he once sought after.

However, he is thankful for everything and just wants to keep involving himself in projects that tell a good story.

“I want to be making movies that matter, not necessarily movies that make money.

Twenty-six years in this town, I am [surrounded by] nepotism and greed, and experience gut wrenching rejection from people who aren’t as good as me every single day,” said Barber. “[I want to be remembered] as a guy who’s unbeaten.” news@smdp.com

Some sellers more willing to bargain on tree prices FROM TREES PAGE 1 Wilshire Boulevard and 23rd Street for the past six years. They have sold, on average, 300 trees a day, she said.

During the 2008 season, shortly after the recession hit, Wilk said those who did buy trees often opted for humbler choices, saving $50 by sacrificing a foot or two of height.

“This year, I’m not noticing that,” she said.

It could be, though, that tree shoppers are simply drawn to Shawn’s Trees deals. Each year, the lot takes progressive steps to bring in business, like sending e-mails to some 6,000 past customers offering a 10 percent discount for repeat business.

Other tree dealers, though, said tree sales were showing a darker economic picture.

“It’s been good on sales but a lot of people have been on a budget so they really can’t get the big trees they want,” said Andrew Mikhaiel, of the rival A-1 Christmas Tree Lot at Wilshire Boulevard and 14th Street. “We help them out and we give them a discount on this or on that to make sure everyone is a happy camper.”

Compared with 2008, he said tree buyers are more frugal.

“People normally don’t bargain, especially in Santa Monica, but now [with] the economy, they want to work something out,” he said.

Santa Monica resident Van Durrer was among the few on hand this week looking for a deal.

“People are more willing to bargain,” he said. “There are more trees available this late [in the season] than I would have expected.”

But for him, the weak economy wasn’t a factor.

“I’m a bankruptcy lawyer and business is great right now,” he said.

Connie Davis got her 8- to 9-foot tree at A-1 and saved compared to last Christmas.

“I spent about $150 last year. This year, I spent $90,” the Bel-Air resident said.

And Kristen Diamandis, a recent Santa Monica transplant from the Pacific Northwest, was just trying to adjust to L.A.area prices.

“I didn’t even know how expensive they could get,” she said.

At home her family could simply cut one down for free. nickt@smdp.com

St. Monica’s offense progresses FROM ROUNDUP PAGE 1 expected to be announced next week.

Clark said he’s happy to see his seniors earn recognition and is currently trying to help the talented crop of players find colleges to play for in the fall. Zelon is the most heavily recruited of the bunch with a number of schools including Washington State, Iowa State and Harvard showing interest in the versatile player who has played on both offense and defense throughout his time as a Viking.

Senior wide receiver Chris Featherstone was named to the second team.

A number of Samohi underclassmen were also honored by the league.

Junior offensive lineman Joel Ramos was named to the first team as well as sophomore defensive backs Dylan Muscat and Kori Garcia.

“Ramos deserves it,” Clark said. “He was stellar. He really anchored our line all season.”

Junior defensive lineman Terrance Sadler was named to the second team.

While Samohi will lose the services of a number of talented seniors, Clark is

intrigued by his younger players.

“We have a lot of talent,” he said, “a lot of youth.”

Samohi finished the season 4-7 overall and 3-2 in league. They were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by Palmdale.

ST. MONICA’S OFFENSE GETS NOTICED

Neck Pain?

The once dormant St. Monica offense was revived this season under first-year Head Coach Larry Muno, and the Santa Fe League is taking notice.

Senior running back Tommy Murray, junior wide receiver Kyle Farber and junior quarterback Matthew Partyka were all named to the All-Santa Fe League’s first team. Senior wide receiver Danny White was named to the second team.

“Our guys really deserved to make allleague,” Muno said.

St. Monica’s offense scored a total of 262 points this season, a huge difference from a year ago when they tallied just 108.

The Mariners finished the season 3-6 overall and 0-4 in league. St. Monica did not make the postseason.

Major companies finance films FROM INTERNET PAGE 3 budgets of many Hollywood movies, but more than the producers were told they could sell it for. Web sites typically pay up to $5,000 for a short clip of original video; with 16 episodes, other Web sites might have paid around $100,000 for “The Bannen Way.” “This money buys more lights and more production value,” said Gantt, 40.

Warren appeared to bask in the fullness of his crew: “We can afford extras rather than having our friends come in.”

One quirk of the Web is that each episode must have a cliffhanger to keep online viewers coming back. In one scene, the audience learns for the first time that Neal Bannen, the title character, had been working for his mob boss uncle. Bannen’s father is the chief of police, and viewers realize the son is about to be entangled in a cops-and-robbers struggle between father and uncle.

“It moves pretty well,” Warren says, snapping his fingers. “We had breaks that would naturally lend itself to the Web.” Sony Pictures Television hopes the release will gain buzz and a few advertising dollars when it begins to debut in increments in January on the Sony-owned Crackle.com, a site targeted at males aged 18-34. Then, it will stop running for free online and get repackaged for sale to TV outlets, on iTunes and elsewhere.

Editing finished this month on the feature-length project. There’s no substantial difference between the whole or spliced versions — just that the Web version has episodic breaks at certain climaxes.

Although the main goal is to drive traffic to Crackle.com, which Sony Corp. acquired when it was called Grouper for nearly $60 million in 2006, made-for-Web productions are expected to make a profit by themselves.

Thus, studios scrutinize projects before approving them and committing funding — green-lighting in industry speak. In this case, studio input during the production was also part of the process.

“We go through a very similar green-light process as we would for any piece of content in the studio,” said Eric Berger, senior vice president of digital networks for Sony Pictures Television, which is planning to make 15 Web productions annually. “How

and why we make them and where we will make money is conceived with every project.”

Paramount Pictures’s digital arm is also backing made-for-Web productions that can make additional money in other formats.

Paramount spent $1 million to $3 million making a horror movie, “Circle of Ei8ht,” which began showing on MySpace in installments in October in an initial run through Dec. 8. The series had generated nearly 5 million views online — which would rank it among the most-watched shows if it were on cable TV. To help pay for production, Viacom Inc.’s Paramount lined up a key product-integration deal with PepsiCo Inc.’s Mountain Dew and sold rental and on-demand rights for one month exclusively to Blockbuster Inc. MySpace, which is owned by News Corp., kicked in marketing support.

"I don’t think there’s been a more expensive piece of content made for the Web,” said Thomas Lesinski, president of Paramount Digital Entertainment, which has two other Web projects in the works.

He added that hiring professional talent and crew and paying for an original score will help sell “Circle of Ei8ht” when it makes it onto other platforms such as iTunes, DVD and video-on-demand.

“The stuff that we’re creating could easily play on television,” he said.

Brady Brim-DeForest, the co-founder of research and news site Tubefilter.tv, calls the renewed activity “the second coming of original programming online.”

He cited the recent success of “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog,” which “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” creator Joss Whedon made during the writers strike last year.

He estimates “Dr. Horrible” cost $220,000 to make but brought in about $2.4 million within a year, after sharing advertising revenue on Hulu.com and selling the movie and soundtrack on iTunes, as well as DVDs and merchandise. It went on to win an Emmy.

Internet shows have also made the transition to television. After a one-episode flirtation on NBC, “quarterlife” found a home on the NBC Universal-owned Bravo network last year. Sci-fi Web series “Sanctuary” made it on Syfy, and “Secret Girlfriend” ran on Comedy Central this fall.

A’s close to deal to acquire Crisp JANIE MCCAULEY AP Baseball Writer

OAKLAND The Oakland Athletics were closing in on a deal Sunday with free-agent outfielder Coco Crisp on a one-year contract with a club option for the 2011 season.

A person with knowledge of the negotiations confirmed an impending deal on condition of anonymity because a formal announcement had not been made by the club. That could come soon.

The 30-year-old Crisp, who played prep

baseball for Santa Monica High School’s Ocean League rival Inglewood, can play all three outfield positions but is primarily a center fielder. While the A’s have been happy with Rajai Davis, he might wind up playing one of the corner spots to clear room for Crisp in center.

Crisp underwent season-ending shoulder surgery in June and batted .228 with three home runs and 14 RBIs in only 49 games last season for the Kansas City Royals, who last month declined their $8 million option to bring Crisp back in 2010.

SHEPARD

■ News of the Weird reported in October 1998 the on-the-job death by snake bite of serpent-handling preacher John W. (Punkin) Brown Jr. (In a landmark book on Southern snake-handling preachers, "Salvation on Sand Mountain," Brown was called the "mad monk," the one most "mired" in the "blood lust of the patriarchs.")

Because Brown's wife had died three years earlier (of a snake bite during services in Kentucky), the Browns' three orphans were objects of a custody fight between the two sets of grandparents. In February 1999, the wife's parents won primary custody, in a Newport, Tenn., hearing, largely because Mr. Brown's parents were not able to refrain (despite a judge's orders) from taking the grandkids to snake-handling services.

■ Spare the Rod: In September, engaging in a 300-year tradition of the Dussera holiday in India's Tamil Nadu state, Hindu priests ritually whipped 2,000 young women and girls over a five-hour period as penance for a range of sins, from insufficient studying to moral impurity. Said one sobbing yet inspired lash recipient, to an NDTV reporter, "(W)hen we are whipped, we will get rid of our mental and physical ailments and evil spirits."

(And in November, Pope John Paul II was revealed to have periodically atoned for sins by privately whipping himself, according to a nun who worked with him and who was cited in the Vatican's ongoing consideration of John Paul II for sainthood. The nun said she heard him distinctly several times from an adjacent room.)

TODAY IN HISTORY The United Nations Security Council chooses Kurt Waldheim to succeed U Thant as Secretary-General.

The Geneva Conference on the Arab-Israeli conflict opens.

Lancaster House Agreement: An independence agreement for Rhodesia is signed in London by Lord Carrington, Sir Ian Gilmour, Robert Mugabe, Joshua Nkomo, Bishop Abel Muzorewa and S.C. Mundawarara.
