Amazon has been given the creative reigns over the James Bond franchise. This is really disappointing. Since Amazon has their own Kathleen Kennedy.  I fear they will do to James Bond what they did to The Lord of the Rings.

The success of the Oregon Health Plan is at risk because of lack of funds due to cuts. They will also have to make hard choices. Hospitals will depend on them making the right choices.
