Marigold is among the

most widely planted and,
hence, mundane of flowers. Yet, I enjoy them as an
essential part of summer
with their yolk-like blooms
and pungent foliage.
For those who are bored by
marigolds, as well as those
who love them, let me introduce Lemon Gem and its kin.
Lemon Gem is unlike
most familiar marigolds. It
belongs to a different species, in fact, from the French
or African marigolds soon
to open their sunny heads in
gardens almost everywhere.
Those marigolds you grow
for their flowers large,
solid-color pompoms in the
case of the African marigolds (Tagetes erecta) and
smaller, sometimes multicolored single or double flowers in the case of the French
marigolds (T. patula).
A GEM OF A PLANT
Lemon Gem is one variety
of the so-called Signet marigolds (T. tenufolia), which
you might grow just for their
leaves. The plants are dainty,
no more than about 8 inches
high, with leaves that have
a ferny texture and bright
green color. Lemon Gem
leaves also reputedly have a
lemony aroma, although my
nose has never picked it up.
The ferny leaves are a
perfect background for knitting together various parts
of a flower bed or mixed
border. They would be ideal
for a knot garden, the kind
of garden that has narrow
rows of dense, low-growing
plants patterned into a twodimensional design.
Lemon Gem isnt the only
Signet marigold on the
block. Look also for Tangerine Gem, Red Gem and
others.
OTHER FOLIAGE MARIGOLDS
Speaking of marigold
leaves, lets look for one
moment at two other
Associated Press

out like stars from a backdrop of ferny foliage.
marigold species notable for
leaves. The leaves of Spanish
tarragon (T. lucida) have an
anise scent and are grown as
a substitute for real tarragon
where its too hot or humid
for that plant. Besides its
use as flavoring, Spanish tarragon has also been recommended in a 16th-century
herbal for hiccups and for
crossing water safely.
Irish Lace (T. filifolia) is
the other species of foliage
marigold, this one with lacy
leaves not unlike that of
Lemon Gem. Irish Lace has a
sweet, anise-y flavor, good for
tea, as a flavoring or just for
nibbling. (No marigold should
be consumed in too great a
quantity.) Both Spanish tarragon and Irish lace also bear

flowers, but tiny white ones
hardly worth mention.
LEMON GEM FLOWERS
Back to Lemon Gem:
Besides being a compact
mound of dainty greenery,
Lemon Gem does indeed
bear flowers. Pretty ones.
Each flower is half an inch
across, single and lemon yellow. You might think nothing
of them from this description, but they pop out profusely through the foliage,
each staring out against the
verdant backdrop like a star
twinkling in the night sky.
In my garden, Lemon Gem
always stops visitors in their
tracks and elicits the question, What is that plant?

Like other marigolds,
Lemon Gem is easy to grow.
I sowed seed indoors about
a month ago, but you could
just plant it outdoors now.
Sown directly in the garden,
the first blossoms are a bit
delayed, but marigolds are
precocious, so the plants
bloom in just a few weeks
anyway. Once blossoming is
underway, the show continues into fall. Marigolds are
rarely bothered by pests,
including deer.
Consider planting some
seeds of Lemon Gem or the
other Signet marigolds, and
see how you like them.

Colon cancer screening said to help after age 75

By Lauran Neergaard
AP MEDICAL WRITER
WASHINGTON How
old is too old for a colonoscopy? A surprising
number of people older
than 75 havent ever been
screened for colon cancer
and researchers recently
reported that its not too late
for them to get caught up.
Some may even consider
screening into their 80s.
Colon cancer screening is
powerful, credited not only
with saving lives. The American Cancer Society recently
calculated that over the past
decade, new cases of colon
cancer dropped significantly
among middle-aged and
older adults, thanks largely
to increasing use of colonoscopies that allow removal of
precancerous growths before
tumors have time to form.
Some things to know
about the latest research on
colon cancer screening.
WHO SHOULD BE
SCREENED?
National guidelines recommend regular checks
starting at age 50 and going
up to age 75. Nearly twothirds have been appropriately screened for colon
cancer, according to the latest government estimates.

THE BIGGER MESSAGE
About 137,000 Americans

will be diagnosed with
colorectal cancer this year,
the cancer society estimates. About 50,000 colon
cancer patients will die.
Upper-age limits aside,
public health officials say
not enough of the 50-andolder crowd get potentially
lifesaving checks. The cancer societys new campaign
aims for a screening rate
of 80 percent, up from twothirds, by 2018.
If youre polyp-free at
70, we have so dramatically
reduced your likelihood of
a death from colon cancer,
you probably dont need to
ever think about it again,

Wender said.
THE CHOICES
With a colonoscopy, doctors use a long flexible tube

to examine the colon and
remove any polyps. While
only needed once a decade,
it can be uncomfortable and
is the priciest option.
Studies show a home stool
test done every year can be
equally effective. (A third
choice, sigmoidoscopy, uses
a tube to examine the lower
colon but isnt common in
the U.S.)
In the new study, stool
testing was a better value
for the oldest patients
because it targets larger
polyps that have a shorter
period of time before they
become a real threat,
Wender explained.
But individual choice
matters: Theres a test out
there for everybody, he
said.

Adult Foster Care of the

North Shore is a one of a
kind organization. Since 2001
they have been providing
financial and emotional
solutions to families in need
of care for a disabled or
chronically ill loved one
(clients). Many Adult Foster
Care clients are already
living with a parent, child or
other family member who
qualifies as a caregiver.
Others are placed in homes
with compassionate and
diligent caregivers.
In 2000, Dr. Cynthia
Bjorlie quit her private
practice of 17 years and
opened Adult Foster Care of
the North Shore. She took
this brave leap after she read
an article in the NY Times
called Foster Seniors, a
program that was in New
Jersey. Having always been
interested in the care of
people who cannot manage
alone, she decided to start

her own program in
Massachusetts. With a grant
from the Robert Wood
Johnson Foundation, she
started Adult Foster Care of
the North Shore.
Since 2001, Adult Foster
Care of the North Shore has
grown from a staff of one to
28 and from one client
to 350 clients. The difference
between them and other
similar companies is that,
even though they share the
same mission, they actually
live the mission. They live it
out in a more compassionate
and people-focused way that
produces great results.
If you are interested in
becoming a paid caregiver
for a disabled family
member or qualified
disabled adult, visit
AdultFosterCareNS.com
orcall today at 978-281-2612.
About the Program:

This innovative program provides caregivers with a monthly payment for taking care of a disabled
or ill adult. Caregivers are special, dedicated people who may take care of a family member or a n
ew
friend and welcome them into their own home.
Caregivers are reimbursed up to $1,800 monthly for personal care services. Each and every caregiver
is supported by Adult Foster Care's professional staff that helps train the individual regarding the
personal care needs of their clients. Adult Foster Care carefully and selectively matches clients with
caregivers to ensure compatibility.
Adult Foster Care of the North Shore provides the following financial and emotional support:
Financial Support: Through MassHealth a monthly tax-free stipend is given to the caregiver.
Health & Social Support: Clients and caregivers are assigned a n
urse and care manager who visit
the homes regularly. Staff members can answer questions about health issues and serve as a resource
for medical training, education and needed interventions. There is always someone on call 24 hours
a day, 7 days a week.
General Resource Support: Other vital resources offered include:
Adult Day Health Programs

Specialized work and community support programs for those with developmental delays
Mental health counselors

Take the train to the Grand Canyon

ByJohn Marshall
IF YOU GO
ASSOCIATED PRESS
GRAND CANYON, Ariz.

The drive to the Grand
Canyons South Rim is
easy enough. Get to Flagstaff and its only about 90
miles across Arizonas high
country.
But why take a car when
you can ride a train, especially one like the Grand
Canyon Railway?
Traveling down the same
tracks as the pre-automobile
original, the Grand Canyon
Railway is like a two-hour
trip through history: a
scenic, informative and
entertaining ride from a historic Route 66 town to one
of worlds greatest natural
wonders.
One of our customers
described it as more than
just a train ride, said John
Lovely, conductor for the
Grand Canyon Railway. We
give you an experience coming to the Grand Canyon,
then going home.
When the Grand Canyon
Railway was established
in 1901, it immediately
became the most popular route to the canyons
South Rim, smoother and
less dusty than rickety
stagecoaches.
The railway opened the
canyon to the entire world,
ushering in millions of tourists to one of the seven natural wonders of the world.
The railway carried countless dignitaries through the
years, including U.S. presidents Taft, Eisenhower and
both Roosevelts, along with
kings and queens, actors
and actresses.
Once the automobile era
began, interest in the train
waned. It shut down in 1968.
In 1989, Max and Thelma
Biegert sank their life
savings into resurrecting
the railway and restoring depots at the starting
point in Williams and at the
Grand Canyon village.

YOGA NEWBIE? THINGS TO KNOW
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE NEWS
SERVICE (MCT)
Whether its a looming

deadline, missed bill payment or family conflict,
stress is everywhere.
According to a 2012 study
by the American Psychological Association, about
80 percent of those surveyed said their stress level
had increased or stayed
the same over the past
year. And finding ways to
cope with it is a constant
challenge.
As a society, we dont
have effective stress-reduction techniques. As the pace
of life is increasing, so too
does stress, explains assistant professor of medicine
and associate neuroscientist at Harvard Medical
School and author of The
Harvard Medical School
Guides Your Brain on
Yoga Sat Bir Singh Khalsa.
The impacts of stress
are far-reaching, from nonphysical symptoms such
as irritability and anger to
physical symptoms such
as fatigue and weight gain,
which is why researchers
like Khalsa are studying
the effects of regular yoga
practice as a method for
controlling stress and other
negative emotions.
Research has validated
that yoga can help individuals cope with stress
more effectively and can
provide an uplifting effect
on mood, says Khalsa. The
evidence isnt just anecdotal, as Khalsa and his
team have used brain imaging to see the physiological
changes in action.
He says the primary
mechanism for these
changes is the practice of
mindfulness, a ritual exercise of focusing attention on
your breath and your body.
When you do a meditation
task, whether its a mantra
or focusing on breathing or
a sensation, you are controlling your attention, he
explains.

Researchers say practicing yoga consistently can help people better cope with stress.
This is counter to how
the brain responds when
its uncontrolled. Known as
mind wandering or ruminating, it tends to produce
negative content, says
Khalsa, making individuals particularly vulnerable
to anxious or depressive
thoughts. Youre usually not thinking about
how great life is in these
moments, he says. Your
mind is working in a stressful survival mode, which
releases stress hormones
into the body.
Instead of trying to eliminate stress an impossible
task in modern society a
consistent yoga practice can
help develop resilience to it.
While some may argue that
youre either born Type A
or youre not, Khalsa argues
that its a skill that can be
developed: The brain is
plastic, and meditation is
no different than learning
how to juggle. You dont just
change your behavior; you
actually change the structure of your brain.
Laura Malloy, a licensed
clinical social worker and
certified yoga instructor
who is director of yoga
programs at Massachusetts
General Hospitals Benson
Henry Institute for Mind
Body Medicine, sees this

change occur firsthand with
students who attend her
classes. Both patients of the
Benson Henry Institute and
medical professionals at the
hospital, Malloys students
are particularly susceptible to stress, anxiety and
depression.
These people are experiencing a lot of stressors,
whether its an illness
or a demanding job as a
caregiver to those who
are sick, Malloy explains.
Yoga is really a mind-body
practice that tries to bring
focus back to breathing and
mindfulness to the present
moment, and it really helps
them refresh and be less
reactive.
So, how much yoga is
needed to see a benefit?
According to Khalsa, there
are both short-term and
long-term benefits. The
short term can occur after
a class or even a set of yoga
postures, allowing for a
temporary sense of calmness and elevated mood.
The long term can occur
over weeks or months of
consistent practice, even if
its just 10 minutes a day.
This is when changes are
established in your brain
and you develop resiliency
to stress so the reduced

stress response will continue even after your practice ends. Malloy deems
this the carryover effect,
and she says her students
report that it occurs after
between two and six weeks
of consistent practice.
Like all things that need
practice, says Khalsa, it
really matters how much
time and level of effort
you invest to receive the
greatest benefits. The
good news is that the
meditative component can
be practiced anywhere.
You just need to focus (or
meditate) on what youre
doing. It doesnt have to
be with your eyes closed,
he says.
Malloy, a self-described
recovering Type A personality, says that when she
began her yoga practice
about 20 years ago, she
worked on relaxation when
stuck in traffic. I recognized parts of my body
being tense, having negative thoughts and holding
my breath, she explains.
Through weekly practice, I started relaxing my
shoulders more and just
allowing the thoughts to
leave my mind for that
period of time.
So, you finally made it to a yoga

class. Congratulations! I bet you
have a lot of questions about what
just happened.
Here are a handful of things I
remember finding kooky about
yoga, and some others that friends
and students have mentioned.
Namaste? Nama say what? At
the end of almost all yoga classes,
the teacher will offer a brief thanks
and goodbye, saying Namaste. The
class then says it back.
A friend of mine was surprised by
this exchange, suggesting that we
were all in some cult. But really, the
Sanskrit word namaste is an oftenused salutation between people in
India. It means I bow to you.
You dont have to say it back
if you dont want to. No pressure.
Sometimes, I say it silently, when
Im too whooped or relaxed to even
open my mouth.
Thats not any English Ive
ever heard. If it sounds like the
teacher is talking in a foreign language, its because she is.
Often, the teacher will call out
yoga poses in both the English and
Sanskrit versions. Warrior one is
virabhadrasana one. Mountain pose
is tadasana. Postures are known as
asanas, which means to sit in a way
that is steady and comfortable.
Youll begin to learn and translate
the asana names before you know
it. Eka means one, pada means foot.
Therefore, youll know anything eka
pada involves one foot in the air or
behind your head, for example. I kid!
Om? Are you getting me into a
cult again? No. Sometimes, yoga
classes begin and end with chanting, and that can mean repeating
the phrase om or other numerous
longer Sanskrit phrases. A technical, historical explanation would
be long, and yes, some chants do
include the names of Hindu gods
and goddesses, so they could be
considered religious.
I like to chant simply because it
feels good in my body, much like
singing or humming does, and the
sound the oms or chants create
sounds beautiful. Think about the
word amen, intoned after a hymn
in church. Notice a similarity?
Whats this thing that we do
at the end of class where we just
lie there? Thats savasana, also
known as corpse pose, and Ive
never taken a class that hasnt

included it.
Sometimes, youll take savasana
during class, too. Its a resting pose,
allowing your body to soak up the
work of the challenging poses you
just did, and it gives you an excuse
to find complete relaxation in the
middle of your day, something we
can all use.
Why do I have to take off my
shoes and socks? Most studios
dont want your dirty flip-flops
tracking in the outside world, but
even if they did, trust me, you dont
want to be doing postures with
shoes on.
You can wear socks if you insist,
though many teachers (including
me) will warn you about the chance
of slipping and sliding all over your
mat, potentially leading to injury.
You dont want to accidentally slip
into full splits, do you? Didnt think
so.
The teacher keeps touching me.
These are called assists or adjustments. Theyre meant to either gently
correct your alignment in a posture
or encourage the body a little deeper
into a pose. Sometimes, their only purpose is to make a human connection
through the power of touch. And you
can opt out any time you want just
tell the teacher before class or let
her know if she asks at the beginning
of class. Assists can happen through
class, even during savasana, when a
teacher might rub your temples or
squeeze your toes.
Um, the people around me are
breathing really loudly. Are they
OK? Thats ujjayi pranayama, otherwise known as victorious breath.
Pranayama is another Sanskrit word
that means breath work, which can
be a big part of a yoga class. Prana
translates as life force, and ayama
means extension, so extension of
the life force. Isnt that a great word
for breathing?
Ujjayi is done through the nose
no mouth breathing. The exhale
involves constricting the back of
the mouth, so the breath is loud. It
sounds like ocean surf or Darth
Vader for Star Wars fans. The ultimate goal is to carry the ujjayi breath
all the way through class, until savasana. So, let your neighbors breath
be a reminder to keep up your own.

Answers to common canning questions

Without

By Andrea Weigl
THE NEWS & OBSERVER
(RALEIGH, N.C.) (MCT)
Sugar and safety: Those

are the two big concerns of
home cooks when it comes
to canning.
When people even think
about making their own
jams or pickles, they experience what I call recipe
shock about the amount of
sugar required. (For example, a traditional strawberry
jam recipe calls for five cups
of mashed fruit and seven
cups of sugar.) Many people
these days want to limit
sugar, either because they
are diabetic or for weight
control.
When it comes to food
safety, canning scares
many people because of one
threat: botulism. They are
too afraid to even try canning their own food for fear
of making their loved ones
sick. If you understand the
science behind safe canning
practices, you will know
how to eliminate that risk
and can without fear.
I heard these concerns
again and again these last
several months at events for
my first cookbook, Pickles

Q: Can I make sweet pickles
with less sugar?
A: Yes. But using less
sugar or a sugar substitute
will produce a softer pickle,
Vinton notes. Reducing
sugar or replacing it with
Splenda in a traditional
recipe is unlikely to work.
Instead, look for low-sugar
pickle recipes or ones that
call for Splenda.
Q: Why cant I just replace
sugar with Splenda?
A: Fletcher Arritt, a food
science professor at N.C.
State University, explains
that sugar and Splenda
react differently with water
when making jam, jelly,
preserves or pickles. Sugar
binds itself with the water,
making it less available to
microbes that can cause
spoilage or make someone
sick. Splenda does not bind
as well with water, increasing the risk of microbial
activity.

STRAWBERRY JAM
TASTE TEST
I conducted a blind taste
test with my co-workers
comparing a no-sugar
strawberry jam made with
Splenda and a low-sugar
jam made with Pomonas
Universal Pectin. The
overwhelming majority
preferred the Splenda jam.
But those who preferred
the low-sugar version cited
the Splenda jams aftertaste as the reason for their
preference. Heres how to

make both jams:
No-Sugar Strawberry Jam:
Combine 6 cups mashed
strawberries, 3/4 cup water
and 1 box (1.75-ounce)

of Splenda. Ladle into hot
canning jars, filling to

Low-Sugar Strawberry Jam:
Combine 4 cups mashed
strawberries with 2 teaspoons calcium water (calcium is included with the
Pomonas Universal Pectin)
in a large Dutch oven or
saucepot. Stir well and cook
over medium-high heat.
Measure out 2 cups sugar
and 2 teaspoons Pomonas
pectin in a bowl and set

aside. Once fruit comes
to a boil, add sugar and
pectin. Stir to dissolve, 1 to
2 minutes. Once mixture
returns to a boil, remove
from heat and ladle into hot
canning jars. Fill to within
1/4-inch of top. Wipe rims.
Add two-piece lids. Process

HOW TO AVOID
FRUIT FLOAT
Sherri Brooks Vintons Put em Up! Fruit,
described the dreaded fruit
float that can strike even
the most skilled canner. She
explained that there are a
few things to prevent fruit
floating to the top of the
jars: cook jams thoroughly,
as dictated in the recipe,
to break down fruits cell
walls, allow jam to rest for
5 minutes before filling
jars, do not process jars for
longer than recipe says, and
once the jars have sealed
but are still warm, flip them
over and let them sit for 30
minutes before storing them
right-side up.

Q: Is it safe to do open-kettle
canning?
A: No. Open-kettle canning
is an out-of-date practice in
which home cooks would fill
hot glass jars with hot jams,
fruits and or pickles and
brine, and then seal without processing in a boiling
water bath.
Ben Chapman, a food
scientist at N.C. State
University, explains that
processing the jars in a
boiling water bath helps
kill microbes in the food,
vent out oxygen containing
microbes and remove as
much air as possible from
the jars to create a good seal

that processing, he explains,

one recent afternoon when
I called out to my little
granddaughter Elizabeth
in another room and she
answered, Mande.
Thats colloquial Spanish
for What can I do for you?
or simply Yes? But Elizabeth isnt a native Spanish
speaker. Neither am I, nor
is her grandmother Pam.
Spanish is colonizing our
household speech because
we all live together most of
the year in Mexico.
Pam and I began planning
our retirement here more
than a decade ago, while we
were both still working. We
were going to spend winters in Puerto Vallarta and
summers in a small cabin
we own in the mountains of
southern New Mexico.
And thats just what were
doing. But like most plans,
ours had to be adjusted. We
never pictured ourselves
raising another child as we
migrated back and forth.
If we had known Elizabeth
was to be part of the plan,
wed almost certainly have
planned differently.
But when our daughter,
her mother, gave birth four
years ago and then almost
immediately re-entered
the hospital for a long-term
disability that disqualified
her for parenting, we had
already bought the two
homes. We had to make a
fast decision, and now Elizabeth is ours by adoption.
Were far from alone.
According to 2010 census
data, about 5.8 million children nearly 8 percent of
U.S. children live with
grandparents identified
as the head of household.
Many of those children have
a parent in the household,
too. But an estimated 2.7
million are being raised in
the absence of parents by
grandparents or other close
adults, an increase of 18 percent between 2000 and 2010,

pleasure of watching a beloved child grow up and, through her, participating more deeply in another culture and language, said Tomlin.
says a 2012 report by the
Annie E. Casey Foundation.
That means many people
are remaking their retirement plans to include kids
on short notice, as we did,
and some are bound to be
doing it across borders.
While its not the leisurely
retirement we thought we
wanted, in many ways its
better, starting with the
pleasure of watching a
beloved child grow up and,
through her, participating
more deeply in another culture and language.
Much of that is happening
because we enrolled Elizabeth in a private Mexican
preschool, La Casa Azul. The
teachers and the program are
terrific, the fees are affordable
at about $275 monthly, the
parents are mostly delightful middle-class nationals,
and Elizabeths amigos are

adorable.
Through school events,
birthday parties and day-today contact during drop-offs
and pickups, we have friendships and a social life that
seem much closer to real life
than the more insular and
predictable expat lifestyle
we imagined.
Of course there are tradeoffs. We cant travel as
freely as wed hoped. And
as Elizabeth enters her academic grade levels, well be
committed to Mexico from
late August to late June.
That means well swelter
through big chunks of the
hot, humid months that wed
have spent farther north if
we were on our own.
Aside from school tuition,
were repeatedly reminded
how expensive children
are. Prices for Elizabeths

food, clothing, health care,
baby-sitting, recreation and
entertainment have all risen
shockingly from what we
remember from our first
time around as parents.
Fortunately, the shock is
reduced in a country where
consumer prices are lower
than in the U.S. by more
than 35 percent.
Health insurance is a
problem were still wrestling with. But the quality
and availability of both
pediatric and geriatric medical care in a city like Puerto
Vallarta with its big expat
community are excellent.
There are also rich and varied cultural opportunities,
though transplants from
cosmopolitan Mexico City
complain otherwise.
We arent sure how long
we will have the stamina or

appetite for sticking to the
migrant path weve chosen.
One thing we underestimated is the physical and
emotional effort it takes to
uproot ourselves twice a
year for the trip north or
south to our other home.
And of course our ability
to live in Mexico is subject
always to the hospitality of a
foreign government and the
peace and security of local
conditions. So far, theyve all
been fine in our neck of the
woods, but who knows?
Finally, theres the language barrier. Weve lowered it considerably with
Spanish lessons and daily
practice. Also, in this tourist
and expat mecca, a majority of the Mexicans we meet
speak at least some English. But its still mentally
exhausting and often

humbling to get through a
parent-teacher meeting or a
cocktail party acting as your
own real-time translator.
And speaking of humbling,
theres hardly a day that goes
by when we dont find ourselves relying on our 4-yearold to fill in a vocabulary gap
or correct a verb tense.
On the other hand, its hard
to match the pleasure of hearing Elizabeths sweet, familiar voice suddenly switch to
another idiom when a friend
comes over and merge into
the perfectly accented babble
that surrounds us so much of
the time.
Papa, she calls when
she wants me to look at
what she and her amigo are
doing. Mira!
Mande, I manage, and
this time I feel proud.

No summer vacation for network TV; it has big plans

By Scott Collins
cant close
You the summer.
down for
LOS ANGELES TIMES (MCT)
LOS ANGELES The

summer blockbusters are
coming. And to see them,
you dont even need to get
off your sofa.
The TV networks are
pouring unprecedented
amounts of money and
some very creative dealmaking into getting A-list
movie writer-producers and
actors onto your living-room
flat screen during the hot
months.
On NBC, John Malkovich
is starring as the pirate
Blackbeard in Crossbones.
CBS is launching a sci-fi
drama, Extant, starring
Oscar winner Halle Berry
and produced by Steven
Spielberg. And director
Guillermo del Toro is bringing his vampire tale The
Strain to FX with a $9-million price tag for the pilot
alone.
Summer used to be network televisions dead zone,
stocked with repeats and
cheap reality shows, and it
was a place to bury canceled
series.
That left an opening for
the cable networks, which
saw a chance to gain viewers without having to go
up against the networks
best new shows in the fall,
using summer to launch
hit programs such as Mad
Men.
CBS fired back last summer with the Stephen King
miniseries Under the
Dome, which did so much
better than expected that
the network is bringing it
back this year with fresh
episodes. That success,
combined with increasing
competition from Netflix,
Amazon and other upstart
content providers, has
upended traditional notions
of what constitutes a TV
season.
You cant close down
for the summer, said NBC
Entertainment President
Jennifer Salke. Theres
opportunity year-round.
All the TV sizzle, however,
carries significant risks.
Theres opportunity
year-round.
NBC Entertainment
President Jennifer Salke
Associated Press
Associated Press
Halle Berry will star in the sci-fi drama Extant, a new CBS
series that premieres in July.
Director Guillermo del Toros vampire tale The Strain

premieres on FX July 13.
Networks are shelling out

big money for these summer dramas, with Foxs
summertime reboot of 24
with Kiefer Sutherland topping $4 million per episode
in total production costs,
according to industry insiders. Extant costs nearly
that much. That matches the
tab for the most expensive
shows during the regular
season.
At the same time, the
cable networks are ramping up their own offerings
to stay competitive. In
addition to FXs marquee
summer project, TNT is
rolling out the apocalyptic
epic The Last Ship. The
shows executive producer
is Michael Bay, best known
for directing big-budget
summer films including the
Transformers series.
Our goal is to make
example, moved its vampire drama True Blood

from fall to summer starting with Season 2 back in
2009. Viewing more than
doubled, according to
Nielsen, and it became one
of HBOs top-performing
shows. Its seventh and
final season will air this
summer.
Those kinds of opportunities existed for cable networks because for decades
broadcasters mostly
ignored the summer. With
longer days and summer
vacation competing for
viewers attention, the
networks scheduled mostly
repeats between Memorial
Day and late September,
when the new season
started. Over the last
decade, they found success
with relatively inexpensive reality fare, such as
watching TNT be like going

to a great summer movie,
Michael Wright, the programming chief of TNTs
parent company, Turner
Networks, told media buyers earlier this month in
New York. Grab a bucket
of popcorn, kick back and
let us take you on a thrilling
ride.
In an interview, Bay
said he had wanted to get
involved in TV for a long
time but had been slow
and cautious about making his move. This particular idea was batted around
quite a bit, and it was really
cinematic, he said of The
Last Ship. So, I gave it my
all.
Cable networks have
long realized, of course,
that summer offers a perfect opportunity to chase
new viewers. HBO, for
Americas Got Talent,

Big Brother and So You
Think You Can Dance.
Much of the credit for the
about-face goes to a surprise
hit from last year. Under
the Dome was adapted
from a Stephen King thriller
about townsfolk trapped
under a giant transparent
bubble.
The show succeeded,
despite a number of traditional hindrances to
attracting big audiences. In
addition to the summer time
slot, there were no highprofile stars, and it wasnt a
cop show or medical drama
that viewers would instantly
recognize.
The series logged an
average weekly viewership of nearly 14 million
an impressive figure
that prompted CBS to
order a second season to
a program initially conceived for a single season.

Domes next season rolls
out June 30.
But it was a clever financial deal that enabled CBS
to greenlight the show in
the first place. Dome was
modeled after formulas
that cable networks had
exploited: limited runs
(typically just 10 or 12
episodes per season), an
intriguing concept and the
type of marketing drumbeat usually reserved for
grander events.
Cable did teach us some
lessons: that people are
interested in the kind of
bigger show that broadcast
dramas can do well, said
Neal Baer, a former writerproducer for ER and Law
& Order: Special Victims
Unit whos now behind
Under the Dome.
In an unusual arrangement brokered by talent
agency WME, CBS hedged
its risks by sharing costs
with Amazon exactly the
sort of new-media company
that usually gives network
executives panic attacks
because it threatens to
encroach on their existing
business.
Each episode costs about
$3 million to produce, with
CBS essentially splitting
about half of the bill with
Amazon. Foreign sales
roughly pay for the other
half. In exchange, Amazon
won the right to deliver
Under the Dome to viewers on its website within
days of each episodes
broadcast, far earlier than
the weeks- or months-long
delay that would typically
exist.
It was a unique deal that
others have copied, NBCs
Salke said.
