Hollywood, CA— “Tempting Hyenas”, the first feature length film shot with the DALSA Origin 4K digital cinema camera, will undergo a full 4K DI at Post Logic Studios, a leading independent post-production and digital intermediate (DI) service facility. Post Logic’s Image Science Division provided on-set supervision during principal photography, which completed recently, working closely with the production team to oversee the transfer of digital assets and ensure that the 4K image quality was maintained throughout.

“Post Logic Studios truly provided what we as filmmakers need when entering into the world of true digital cinema,” said “Tempting Hyenas” director LeVar Burton. “Their Image Science Division not only introduced us to the DALSA team and their spectacular Origin camera, but worked with us hand in hand to deliver a complete work process.” Burton went on to say that “The DALSA camera was a Godsend. It is the 4K solution for filmmakers interested in working with a digital medium. In addition, the commitment that Rob Hummel and the other good people at DALSA bring to the table makes the decision to go digital that much easier.”

In addition to directing, LeVar Burton also acts in the film, lensed by DP Kris Krosskove. “Tempting Hyenas” is a heartwarming story set in a hospice during the final days in the lives of Alvin (Oscar nominated Seymour Cassel) and Kevin (Johnny Whitworth), where they discover that it’s not the minutes one has left that are important, but how those moments are spent. Oscar nominated Alfre Woodard co-stars, and the cast also includes Adrienne Barbeau and Lacey Chabert. Charlene Blaine-Schulenburg, Susan R. Rodgers and Mark Wolfe produced the film through AMediaVision.

“We knew that Post Logic could provide the most advanced digital workflow solutions available, and they proved to be an ideal partner on this film,” commented Rob Hummel, President, DALSA Digital Cinema. “Rather than focusing on standardized processes, Post Logic thought out of the box, and invested in talent that truly understands color science. They understood that the Origin produces true 4K digital imaging of the highest order and that it is not HD video. Perhaps the greatest technology Post Logic brings to bear on a 4K workflow are two people named Mitch Bogdanowicz and Denis LeConte!”

Post Logic’s 4K workflow, developed in cooperation with DALSA Digital Cinema, begins with the careful handling of assets at the end of each day of shooting. Data from the Origin 4K camera—up to two terabytes a day—was recorded onto a Codex unit and output as 2K ProRes files for viewing dailies and for creating an edit decision list (EDL) during online editing.

The files were offloaded daily from the Codex onto a Ciprico Media Vault for transporting back to Post Logic Studios in Hollywood. Upon arrival, the data was backed up onto 400GB LTO3 tapes, with all assets and metadata meticulously catalogued in a proprietary database. This process ensured that the production could shoot continuously without skipping a beat. With the LTO3 tapes serving as the 4K image master files, Post Logic Studios will match up the time codes with the EDL to create the final 4K product.

“With the new digital cameras, post production houses are becoming involved in every stage of production. We’re there during pre-production, during production and afterward in post,” said Dr. Mitch Bogdanowicz, Executive VP of Imaging Science, Post Logic Studios. “Early on, we made very specific suggestions about working with the DALSA camera. The quality output of any digital camera you shoot with requires not only an understanding of what you’re capturing, but also the limitations of the curves you’re placing images on, so that when you get to the final product you can really optimize things.”

“We were really pleased to work so closely with DALSA on this project, and to jointly develop our digital workflows on this film,” added Denis Leconte, VP of Software Engineering, Post Logic Studios. “We recognize that digital is the way workflows are going, and we want to be at the forefront of servicing all feature projects regardless of acquisition format.”

All of the conditions of its offer having been satisfied, Transcontinental has instructed the Depositary, Computershare Investor Services Inc., to take up and pay for all of the PLM common shares deposited under the offer. Transcontinental intends to pay for the common shares deposited by delivering today the C$3.50 per share consideration to the Depositary to be forwarded to the holders of common shares of PLM deposited under the offer. Thereafter, Transcontinental intends to avail itself of the compulsory acquisition provisions of applicable legislation to acquire the remaining common shares of PLM, the whole as described in the take-over bid circular.

Upon completion of the compulsory acquisition, Transcontinental intends to de-list the common shares of PLM from the Toronto Stock Exchange and to cause PLM to apply to the securities regulatory authorities to cease to be a reporting issuer.

In August, Transcontinental announced its intention to acquire PLM Group and become the largest printer in Canada and a leader in Canada's direct marketing industry.

Recent Deregulation Opens the Market for Quality, Local Phone Service in Kitchener and the Surrounding Area

Burgessville - Execulink Telecom, a telecommunications company in Southwestern Ontario with offices in Kitchener, Burgessville, Thedford and London, is pleased to announce that it has received Competitive Local Exchange Carrier (CLEC) status within Kitchener and the surrounding area, allowing the company to provide quality local phone service and advanced voice features throughout these communities. It is now possible for consumers to easily switch to Execulink Telecom for all of their telephone services while maintaining their existing phone number.

Despite a recent government decision to deregulate the market, Execulink Telecom decided to proceed with obtaining CLEC status in order to better serve their customers in the Kitchener area.

Without local phone regulations in place it is much harder for smaller providers to compete in a market dominated by a small number of billion-dollar companies. The company is confident, however, about its ability to take on the competition.

“This is a fantastic opportunity and we are very excited about the possibilities ahead. We’re confident that when consumers look for dependable, local phone service, Execulink will be their first choice,” said Ian Stevens, Chief Executive Officer of Execulink Telecom.

Already a leading telecommunications provider in London and the surrounding area, Execulink Telecom has experienced considerable success in other communities in Ontario where the company has CLEC status. This latest development will allow the company to substantially broaden its service offering in the communities of Kitchener, Waterloo, Cambridge, Elmira and St. Jacobs.

Earlier this year, Industry Minister Maxime Bernier overruled the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) proposal that would have allowed for deregulation only if the incumbent provider loses 25% or more of its market share in a defined geographic area. Contrary to this CRTC proposal, which would have offered some protection to the smaller telecommunications providers, an incumbent provider can now apply for deregulation if 3 or more competitors exist in a defined geographic area, thus removing the safeguards afforded to the small providers. This Industry Canada policy went into effect on April 18th 2007.

About Execulink Telecom

Beginning in 1904 as a local telephone company in the Burgessville area, Execulink Telecom has grown to become a leading telecommunications provider throughout Southwestern Ontario, offering voice, video, and Internet services to approximately 50,000 customers.

OTTAWA - The Competition Bureau announced today that following an investigation with its Toronto law enforcement partners, Luigi Arieh Rozin, operator of Government Policy Research Group Inc., pleaded guilty to violating the false and misleading representations provision of the Competition Act.

From March 2006 to March 2007, Mr. Rozin solicited Canadians by fax to secure sales of various business directories (the Ottawa Political Guide, the Provincial Governments Political Guide and the 2007 Federal Service Directory). Purchasers were promised four quarterly updated editions on CD. In many cases, they either received a guide that was not updated or received a blank CD.

"Thanks to the effective collaboration among members of the Toronto Strategic Partnership, the partners were able to move quickly to shut down this operation, minimizing the number of victims," said Andrea Rosen, Acting Deputy Commissioner of Competition. "This demonstrates the positive outcomes that can be achieved through our law enforcement partnerships."

Mr. Rozin was fined $20,000 by the Ontario Superior Court, which exceeds the amount in sales he received from the scam.

The Competition Bureau is one of the founding members of the Toronto Strategic Partnership, which also includes the Ontario Provincial Police, the Toronto Police Service, York Regional Police, the RCMP, Ontario's Ministry of Government Services, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, the United States Postal Inspection Service and the UK's Office of Fair Trading.

The Bureau participates in other regionally focussed cross-border anti-fraud partnerships across Canada. These include the Alberta Partnership Against Cross-Border Fraud, the Vancouver Strategic Alliance, B.C.-based Project Emptor and Montreal-based Project Colt.

The Competition Bureau is an independent law enforcement agency. We contribute to the prosperity of Canadians by protecting and promoting competitive markets and enabling informed consumer choice.

TORONTO - In an effort to counter negative narratives about the newspaper industry spurred in part by falling circulation sales at large US dailies, Canada's daily newspapers will begin "fighting back" this week with an awareness and marketing campaign valued at $10 million (CDN).

Beginning on "International Right to Know Day" (Friday, September 28), advertisements celebrating the role of newspapers as champions of the public interest will run in gatefolds and inside pages of most of Canada's dailies.

The Canadian Newspaper Association (CNA)-led campaign will continue over a period of three months, with reminder ads underscoring the vitality of newspapers as a medium that transports readers into the heart of the news story with depth, context, and immediacy. Target audiences include frequent and less frequent readers, as well as advertising agencies, media planners and advertisers.

"The trust readers place in us is one of our greatest assets," Alan Allnutt, publisher of The Gazette (Montreal) and Chair of the CNA Board of Directors said.

"And it shows in the numbers: in Canada's increasingly fragmented media environment, we are more than holding our own. However you spin it, the story in Canada is one of a vigorous news industry that is actually bringing more eyeballs to our content than ever before, across a mix of paid, free, print and digital platforms," he added, referencing recently released NADbank (Newspaper Audience Data Bank) readership data.

Media insiders were quick to applaud the marketing initiative. "The strength of newspapers has much to do with the quality of their content," said Bruce Claassen, CEO of Genesis Media. This is a very marketable advantage over the competition and speaks to the audience engagement factor."

"Sometimes we just have to blow our own horn," Anne Kothawala, CNA President and CEO said. "You can't expect competing media to say nice things about newspapers. It's up to us to tell this story."

The creative concept and design of the awareness campaign was provided by Toronto designer John Farquhar of Wild Mouse Advertising.

"Turning Heads. Opening Minds": National Post Unveils Bold, New Design

New look, features, marketing campaign and advertising opportunities

TORONTO - A bold, new National Post hits doorsteps and desktops today as the national newspaper unveils an innovative and stylish design alongside a compelling national marketing campaign. National Post continues its rich tradition of design leadership, delivering its most substantial redesign since it was established in 1998.

Maintaining its unique combination of traditional and modern typography and layout, National Post headlines a list of new features with an innovative move to vertical, colour-coded banners on the front page of each section. Breaking through the barriers of conventional design, National Post has adopted this distinctive, easy-to-use layout for readers and advertisers. Additionally, the redesign provides creative new opportunities for advertising that are exclusive to the National Post.

Built on a foundation of unique design, the CanWest MediaWorks publication has been recognized nationally as well as internationally for its layout and elegant style. Earlier this year, the newspaper earned 38 international design awards from the Society of Newspaper Design - approximately twice the number of any other English-language Canadian newspaper.

"Pioneering change in the way only the National Post knows how, we continue to signal to the market that this is a different kind of newspaper," said Douglas Kelly, Editor-in-Chief, National Post. "With constant design leadership, trusted reporting and provocative opinions, we are dedicated to delivering a newspaper that's not only informational, but a pleasure to read."

Developed under the leadership of Gayle Grin, National Post's award winning Managing Editor of Design and Graphics, the new design includes features to maximize ease-of-use, including increased sizes of the typeface and spacing between lines to improve readability; a standardized number of typefaces; and a cleaner font for charts, graphics and story sideboards. As well, National Post's redesign accompanies a move to a new size in some markets, following an industry transition toward an easier-to-handle page size.

Maintaining the recent momentum of content developments in Toronto Magazine, Arts & Life, and Financial Post sections, further editorial enhancements include:

- Lively mix of stories, blog entries and commentary from the fast-
growing website nationalpost.com that will appear on Page Two of most
sections;
- Enhanced Investing Pages in Saturday's Financial Post;
- Bolstering National Post's roster of commentators with several new
columnists including Christopher Hitchens, Anne Applebaum and Jonathan
Goldstein;
- Marketing Page that tracks trends in the advertising and marketing
industry;
- New features everyday in Arts & Life, Weekend Post and FP Weekends on
Saturday; and,
- Extensive content focus on small business with a new weekly section
beginning Monday, October 15.

To promote the innovative design, National Post has embarked on a major national marketing and branding campaign "Turning Heads. Opening Minds." to emphasize the impression the newspaper not only makes today as it reveals its new look, but has been making on its readers since it was first established.

Designed in-house, the campaign presents creative illustrations depicting various high profile and thought-provoking story lines on the national and international stages. The national campaign will make use of radio, outdoor, web, in-paper, Captivate Network, Cinema Advertising and product sampling promotional elements.
