Good and Bad News for Lost, and More Strike Updates

Compared to yesterday's Office-closing, 24-postponing day on the picket lines, today's reports from the Hollywood writers' strike were a bit less dramatic. But some major developments still emerged, so read on:

• This story rounds up how the strike affects cable networks. Among the big news: Dirt will have a shortened season. Also, maybe this is how HBO figured we'd have time to watch In Treatment.
