Newspaper Guild Endorses Occupy Movement's Thursday 'Day of Mass Action' at Its Home Page
Five weeks ago, Dan Gainor of the Media Research Center's Culture & Media Institute thoroughly documented (at NewsBusters; at MRC) how "two separate news unions, including the newspaper guild, the recognized union for many print and online journalists, and the Writers Guild of America, East (WGAE) are fully behind the radical message of Occupy Wall Street."
Now that the Occupy encampments are largely being put out of their disease-infested, crime-plagued misery by big-city mayors finally recovering a tiny bit of their sanity, a visit to the home page of The Newspaper Guild, which, as Dan noted, is part of the CWA (Communications Workers of America) and represents workers at the Associated Press and many individual publications, indicates that they are fully behind what the Occupiers hope is the next stage of their disorderly incoherence. The graphic currently at the top of the guild's home page, which is the same as the one currently found in an entry at OWS's main site, follows the jump:
Immediately below the graphic is a link to an item by Isaiah J. Poole at OurFuture.org, the web site of Campaign for America's Future, which describes itself as "the strategy center for the progressive movement."
Poole supports the Occupy movement's goal to "Make Nov. 17 A Day Of National Occupation" (internal links are in original):
"You can't evict an idea whose time has come." That was the message posted on OccupyWallSt.org as early this morning, police began to storm the Occupy Wall Street protests in Zuccotti Park in lower Manhattan.
To prove it, supporters of the Occupy movement have vowed to pull out all the stops to make November 17 a day of national occupation. That day is the two-month anniversary of the Occupy Wall Street protests that sparked a national and international movement. There were already 303 "We Are the 99%" protests scheduled for that day around the country, organized with the help of MoveOn.org. Now those gatherings have added urgency as a rebuke to the efforts to squelch the occupations and silence their voices. As the OccupyWallSt.org statement says, "This burgeoning movement is more than a protest, more than an occupation, and more than any tactic...This moment is nothing short of America rediscovering the strength we hold when we come together as citizens to take action to address crises that impact us all. Such a movement cannot be evicted."
The link to the "303 protests" now indicates that there are 444 gatherings planned. A perusal of some of the events involved near yours truly's bunker indicates that they are largely pleas for the spending of even more federal money that we don't have which remarkably resemble congressional Democrats' wishes for more "infrastructure" spending. Readers can go to the link and type in their own zip code to find events near them.
It's more than a little interesting that MoveOn.org has organized the events directory. Early during the Occupy movement, its participants feared that MoveOn would co-opt the entire enterprise. That mission would appear to be accomplished (or that it was fully expected all along by those running/funding the show).
Getting back to the News Guild: As Gainor stated in October, Americans have every right to expect journalists, who are supposedly guided by related ethical constraints, "to cover these protests like they are unsympathetic, not involved. Their own unions prove that to be a lie."
The union's open advocacy problem is escalating in tandem with the desperate fringe's outrageous tactics.

Some of the pathogens isolated at these Obamavilles include tuberculosis, lice/crabs/scabies, multiply resistant forms of other pathogenic bacteria and viruses. At the very minimum, the public health hazard has reached the point where continued allowance of this filth is untenable. Alone, the fact that TB was isolated is enough for public health departments to go to court to force the cities to act. On the health concerns alone, these filthy encampments need to be vacated (forcibly if necessary) and whatever disinfectant treatments necessary applied.

And who did you expect to have the courage to support the protestors? Bankers and Wall Street executives? Corporations? CEOs? The Republicorp Ministry of Propaganda at Fox News?
Do you think they expected support from the corporate-owned and controlled "lamestream media"? If the apple cart (or for an analogy you folks might better understand… the money tables in the Temple) is to be overturned, it can ONLY come from a true grass-roots movement. (Unless of course you can create an Astroturf "grass roots" movement funded by the greediest of the greedy and promoted 24/7 by the "most watched" cable news network.)
Some things never change and history continues to repeat itself. The French Revolution, The Third Reich, The Arab Spring...
The first thing that needs to be silenced is the media, followed by the scholars and intellectuals who disseminate and protect the truth. Lawyers, teachers, journalists, scholars, and artists were ostracized and smeared with slanderous lies because of their ability to organize, strengthen, and embolden the masses.
Seattle activist Dorli Rainey, 84, reacts after being hit with pepper spray during an Occupy Seattle protest, Nov. 15, 2011 at Westlake Park in Seattle. (AP)
"Something funny happened on my way to a transportation meeting in Northgate," said Dorli Rainey, the octogenarian who said she was nearly trampled after police became violent. "As I got off the bus at 3rd and Pine I heard helicopters above. Knowing that the problems of New York would certainly precipitate action by Occupy Seattle, I thought I better check it out."
She added: "Well free speech does have its limits as I found out as the cops shoved their bicycles into the crowd and simultaneously pepper sprayed the so captured protesters. If it had not been for my Hero (Iraq Vet Caleb) I would have been down on the ground and trampled. This is what democracy looks like. It certainly left an impression on the people who rode the No. 1 bus home with me. In the women's movement there were signs which said: 'Screw us and we multiply.'"

when I was a regular viewer of O'Reilly, he seemed incapable of allowing a single week to pass without pronouncing George Soros "the most dangerous man in America". [The ACLU is the most dangerous organization according to BOR, but I digress.]
IMHO, the fixation by the right on Soros considerably exceeds the fixation of the left on the Koch brothers. For what it's worth--and I realize it is an eminently unscientific metric, there being numerous variables affecting the statistics--but a Soros google search produces nearly eight million results compared to just half that number with respect to the Koch brothers.

...Soros was convicted in France of the equivalent offense of insider trading, so hearing that he is funding the OWS protesters through his charities provides for negative optics relative to his very obvious political leanings. While the Koch brothers do fund conservative causes, I am not aware that they ever have pursued the type of market manipulation that Soros pretends to abhor but was convicted of and having his appeal rejected (per http://www.nytimes.com/2006/06/14/business/worldbusiness/14iht-soros.197... ).
What is irreconcilable to me, and as you aware most of the conservatives on this board, is the blatant hypocrisy of having made money on a scheme which would have had him severely punished in the US yet somehow this is simply brushed over by most of the media when they discuss the charities he openly supports and the political positions he is more than happy to advocate. The disconnection between action and motivation does not paint a flattering portrait, but instead paints him as a massive hypocrite who yells about punishing Wall Street while simultaneously exploiting the very system he rails against on a daily basis or he honestly believes most Americans to be fools. It is very difficult for him to hide behind the veneer of respectability when he openly attacks American interests or manipulates media analysis so blatantly.
I will admit that I do not keep count of the stories and language content volume that MRC does--that's their business. All I can say is that Soros either has extremely bad PR advice towards dealing with Americans (who are almost 2:1 conservative:liberal per recent polling) and capitalism (it's okay for him to manipulate but not others?!) in general.
Thus is the world of politics.

Big Secret The Koch Brothers Don't Destroy Countries
Submitted by Avitar on Thu, 11/17/2011 - 1:26am.
The Koch Brothers have built a company worth tens of billions of dollars all in the United States. While greedy union thugs may covet their payroll and their net worth nobody can complain about their means. They make good products in the United States and sell them to willing buyers.
George Soros on the other hand makes his money through currency speculations and like a sports gambler avoids chance deterring the outcome whenever possible. He rolled over Argentina a couple of decades ago and Margaret Thatcher wanted his head when he tried to bankrupt England in the International; currency trading markets. For his smaller trades there are legions of bad politicians whose careers he has advanced in fifty or sixty countries who in turn have done very stupid things. The United States and the US Dollar is probably George Soros's White Whale. The United States is the one Country that he wants to sink with him when he dies.
Beware of a man who funds people who claim that anyone in his business should be lynched. You kind have to think that he wants to leverage being the last one in the Market when his thugs over run Wall Street. They would hang him too if the OWS ever quit being hypocrites.

which I at least implied in my post.
The Koch Brothers--each of whom is worth as much as Soros--have been active in promoting conservative and libertarian causes for many years, but they have operated with a considerably lower profile than Soros, generally shunning publicity whereas Soros, while perhaps not seeking the spotlight, hasn't run from it when pointed in his direction. And the right has been doing a lot of pointing over the past decade in particular, depicting Soros as a pervasive and sinister force, the ultimate socialist boogeyman manipulating markets as well as Democrats in furtherance of his master plan to destroy the capitalist foundations of the US economy.
It is tommyrot of course, but O'Reilly, Limbaugh Nation, the conservative blogosphere and Republican politicians get a lot of mileage out of imagining the hand of Soros in whatever is the menace de jour.

Soros is pro-capitalism
Submitted by Agnostic on Thu, 11/17/2011 - 11:20am.
Quote: "The untrammeled intensification of laissez-faire capitalism and the spread of market values into all areas of life, is endangering our open and democratic society."
Make no mistake that Soros is for a type of Capitalism but sees the modern day uses of capitalistic manipulation destroying the abilities of nations to hold on to democratic societies. In this I have to agree and since it has been largely Soros and people like him that are the manipulators he may being opportunistic and/or hypocritical but he is right that societies are tearing themselves apart because of the impositions being placed on markets and a hand full of people are becoming wealth because of these events.

In the view of British Fabians, Soros is the uber capitalist
Submitted by Jer on Thu, 11/17/2011 - 11:55am.
bent on wrecking socialist economies and associated political structures to be supplanted by a US dominated global capitalism.
From the New Statesman:
The conventional view, shared by many on the left, is that socialism collapsed in eastern Europe because of its systemic weaknesses and the political elite's failure to build popular support. That may be partly true, but Soros's role was crucial. From 1979, he distributed $3m a year to dissidents including Poland's Solidarity movement, Charter 77 in Czechoslovakia and Andrei Sakharov in the Soviet Union. In 1984, he founded his first Open Society Institute in Hungary and pumped millions of dollars into opposition movements and independent media. Ostensibly aimed at building up a "civil society", these initiatives were designed to weaken the existing political structures and pave the way for eastern Europe's eventual colonisation by global capital. Soros now claims, with characteristic immodesty, that he was responsible for the "Americanisation" of eastern Europe.

"There is profit in confusion"
Submitted by Agnostic on Thu, 11/17/2011 - 12:07pm.
if I may quote Tony Curtis' character in Operation Petticoat.
Soros makes money in the decline of systems and does it well. The fact that he is just as instrumental in in propping up socialism in the US as he was of undermining it in Europe would demonstrate that it is the destruction of the interior government and regulating structure that he is after and not a particular form of government. He has traded on raw materials after leveraging against the finance structures with interest in the same and he has helped create capital funds for demonstrations against the abuses of workers in the same political and economic arena. He does not play both sides against the middle and rejoice with the victor. He plays against the power structure then is conveniently absent when the proverbial sh*t hits the fan.
He will be the demon and he will be the guiding light but in the end he will be gone with someone's money.

But since you ask - Oh why bother. Do your own homework - use Google. There's been dozens of research reports and hunderds of articles written exposing the deep ties between Tea Party activities/sponsors and the Koch Bros - and funding of numerous other Republican causes (all that benefit the Koch Bros, feed their greed, lower their taxes all the more, and allow them to further rape the environment) - including the money behind the 2010 Tea Party "madate" and all the cons they pulled to get there.

You may want to worry about your own puppetmasters. You know, the ones who demand nothing more than every last imaginable economic and political freedom you have in exchange for being a pampered and babied little serf.
I also note how funny it is how much you bitch and scream about evil corporations, yet you are using all sorts of things that wouldn't have been possible WITHOUT those evil corporations - like the computer you are using to access the Internet.
Besides, give me corporations any day. If I want to take out a corporation, I just need money. To rid myself of a bad government, another currency is required: blood. And lots of it.
You are nothing more than a bitchy, whiny, hate-filled ingrate, ruled by envy - which is THE worst, dumbest, and most destructive emotion known to man. And the whole time as you are all those things, you greedily suck the tits of the country and the evil capitalist system that allows you to be that way.

But the very nature of the differences between conservatives and progressives makes your observations laughable at best.
Conservatives couldn't live without direction from their puppetmasters and the institutions they embrace under the false disguise of "security" and "law and order". Conservatives are not interested in anything but holding on the status quo and preserving their "traditions" – regardless how corrupt or immoral they have become. And they're too afraid of "change" to do anything about it. Conservatives are FAR LESS likely to look outside their box for alternative views, opinions, and solutions.

This is of course based on the fact that very few of these people actually understand what it means to be truly poor.

For our new Statist/Socialist
Submitted by Unsane on Fri, 11/18/2011 - 10:01am.
And Statists/Socialists have no puppet masters? Laughable.
If your obsessive devotion, the Koch brothers (who I have BARELY heard of), are giving me any financial backing...this is the first I heard of it. I don't think I am working for them in any capacity. And, for the record, I barely pay any attention to American media. Fox News and MSDNC have one thing in common: both suck, as all American "journalism" by and large sucks. So you may wish to use that cliche elsewhere.
Conservatives couldn't live without direction from their puppetmasters and the institutions they embrace under the false disguise of "security" and "law and order". Conservatives are not interested in anything but holding on the status quo and preserving their "traditions" – regardless how corrupt or immoral they have become. And they're too afraid of "change" to do anything about it. Conservatives are FAR LESS likely to look outside their box for alternative views, opinions, and solutions. This is a neat fiction you cling to to make yourself feel better. You think every single person in this country thinks like you or must think like you; if they do not, someone else, like Fox News, the Koch brothers, or other boogiemen that you want to force to SHUT UP (because of your own deep-seated intolerance) have to be programming them to think a different way. You simply CANNOT TOLERATE the fact that people might think differently than you for a whole host of other reasons. In my case, much of the conclusions I draw come from practical life experience, nothing more, nothing less.
You whine that conservatives don't look elsewhere for alternative views, etc (or are FAR LESS likely to do so). Why, thank you for admitting you don't ever seriously look at conservatism - you have a view of them held up by cliches and you look at them through that prism. If you spent any amount of time reading NB you would realize that conservatives have - for years now - had intense disgareements over ideas and how to get from A to B. But you won't ever seriously look at or consider conservatism and the issues within conservatism or intra-Right debates. You will find that they are far more interesting than anything on the Left. On the Left, debates consists of who hates conservatives more and how much more freedom can be coughed up to the Nanny State.
"Progressives" like you are not interested in any solution that doesn't involve government. If you wake up and find you have a hangnail, or go to your car and find it has a flat tire - you run screaming to government. There is simply nothing in life to "progressives" that can't or shouldn't be solved by government. "Progressives" like you are very closed off in this way - no matter how corrupt the government is, your intense love and worship of government remains. It probably increases, in fact. If the government took away all of your economic and political freedoms, and taxed you at 100% in exchange for being endlessly babied, you would sign up immiediately, and you are pissed that not everyone feels the same way.
Conservatives look at government that governs as less intrusively as possible (not to be confused, as so may Statists/Socialists do, with "No government".) Conservatives would also rather be governed. "Progressives" will never be satisfied with the size of government, and they desperately want to be ruled.
To a conservative, government exists to protect private property and liberties - and are of the mind that government must be FORCED to do that. "Progressives" think government's sole reason for existence is to baby people. No matter that babying government has put the Europeans in a world of hurt (Syntagma Square, anyone?), government's sole reason to exist is to be populated by an elite that pampers and babies the masses, to a "progressive". And they cannot be shaken from their boundless faith in government.
You whine about projecting at the end. Be advised that in the five years I have been on NB that the fastest way I can find people who project is simply to locate those lofting the accusation. You project a lot of stupid cliches onto people, constantly. It's easier than you taking the time to think critically, I suppose.

A true "grass-roots" movement like Moveon.org perhaps. I'm sure Mr. Soros is involved at least indirectly.

Shultz, Tingles Matthews, Rachel Madcow, and up until recently, rabbied-infested Olberdouchebag, and now Sharpton's wit (we really aren't expected to take what he says seriously now, are we?)
Lawyers: democrats. Teachers: democrats. Journalists: democrats. Scholars (from universities, I would assume): democrats. Artists: BIG 'D' Democrats..... I sense a common thread here.
What about middle-American 9-to-5 joe-the-plumber types who put in a hard day's work to support their families? Ooops... I just described the tea partiers, and we all know that they're not really grass-roots, right?
How much violence did we get from Tea Pary protests? How much were we supposed to expect according to the established media? How much violence did we actually get from OWS? How much were we told by the established media to expect, and how much of that was whitwashed by the same media outlets as "fringe"? Remind me again, Cleve, who the real propagandists are?
And your pretty picture links to the DU. You haven't been visiting this site often, now, have you, Cleve, ol' buddy? If you did, you'd know how much respect we have for the DU, and how much we would take anything they say at face value.

My tongue-in-cheek closing remark was only meant to make you think before dismissing the "power of the people".
The unprovoked violence by police is well-documented (Never covered by the "lamestream media" of course - but thanks to modern technology something that cannot be denied.)
Explain to me why Bloomberg raided the OWS camp under the darkness of night and with an ordered "media blackout"? And what was the point of confiscating 50,000 books and reading material? Fascists!
That a public park, specifically designed and legislated to house the homeless, would have a contingent of druggies, wayward youth, public nudity, mentally challenged, etc should be of no shock to anyone. Those things went on in that park, mostly ignored by the media, long before OWS decided to occupy it. But of course the fascist right-wing media is playing Ministry of Propaganda to paint those few as the "image" of the movement.
Call it "silly" or "my" movement - We'll see how "silly" it is a year from now.
Here's a "Special Comment" from the guy you people love to hate almost as much as President Obama. And there's a reason he's no longer part of that "lamestream media" - he's always spoke truth to power...

The mob wanted a reaction and they got it, LOL.

They are really sticking it to the 1% today
Submitted by Redrowan2000 on Thu, 11/17/2011 - 10:34am.
Blocking middle class workers from getting to their jobs, shutting down small businesses and don't forget they are really making life a living hell for all those 1%ers that ride the subway. Anarchists, American hating union thugs, Marxists, who all want a free ride.
Their current list of demands:
Repeal the Taft-Hartley Act. Unionize ALL workers immediately.
Raise the minimum wage immediately to $18/hr. Create a maximum wage of $90/hr to eliminate inequality.
Institute a 6 hour workday, and 6 weeks of paid vacation.
Institute a moratorium on all foreclosures and layoffs immediately.
Repeal racist and xenophobic English-only laws.
Open the borders to all immigrants, legal or illegal. Offer immediate, unconditional amnesty, to all undocumented residents of the US.
Create a single-payer, universal health care system.
Pass stricter campaign finance reform laws. Ban all private donations. All campaigns will receive equal funding, provided by the taxpayers.
Institute a negative income tax, and tax the very rich at rates up to 90%.
Pass far stricter environmental protection and animal rights laws.
Allow workers to elect their supervisors.
Lower the retirement age to 55. Increase Social Security benefits.
Create a 5% annual wealth tax for the very rich.
Ban the private ownership of land.
Make homeschooling illegal. Religious fanatics use it to feed their children propaganda.
Reduce the age of majority to 16.
Abolish the death penalty and life in prison. We call for the immediate release of all death row inmates from death row and transferred to regular prisons.
Release all political prisoners immediately.
Immediate withdrawal from Iraq and Afghanistan.
Abolish the debt limit.
Ban private gun ownership.
Strengthen the separation of church and state.
Immediate debt forgiveness for all.

Soccer loses hard-fought game at Meredith
September 05, 2010
Raleigh, NC-The Salem College soccer team lost their first game of the season today at Meredith College, 2-0. Salem gave up a goal in each half, including an own goal in the second half. The Spirits finished in second in the Meredith Matchup, and Tia Bringhurst (Hurricane, UT), Mackenzie Schmidt (Columbus, OH) and Courtney Sauer (Carthage, NC) were all selected to the all-tournament team. Salem falls to 2-1 with the loss, and Meredith improves to 3-0.
Alex Calvert put Meredith on the board in the 22nd minute of the match. Sabrina Thiel (Hillsboro, OH) was close to scoring on a direct kick from twenty-five yards out in the end of the first half.
Alexi Saganich (McLeansville, NC) and Erica Edwards (Clayton, NC) each had great opportunities in the second half that they were unable to convert. Meredith scored an own goal in the 62nd minute to take a 2-0 lead. Jazmine Bridgeman (Mill Spring, NC) finished with nine saves in the net.
Salem has a two week break before they host Covenant College on September 18th.

Late December will mark the one year anniversary of the death of two year-old Dax Locke, the little boy who's battle with Leukemia brought much of Central Illinois together.
Dax's memory is living on in his hometown of Washington, in a big way.
He was the little boy who lit up an entire community.
During last year's holiday season, people across Central Illinois strung their house with lights in order to give 2 year-old Dax Locke an extra special Christmas.
On December 30, 2009, Dax lost his battle to Leukemia.
But today, his name is being carried on, with 'the Home for an Angel- the Dax Locke House.'
"If this house was put on the market it would actually be a $325,000 house," said Jim Maloof Realty agent Donna Jones.
After just four months on the dot of building the Dax Locke house is almost complete.
The only thing builders have left to finish is the kitchen's granite counter tops.
Those will be installed next week.
Almost all of the work done on the Washington home was donated or done at cost.
Profits from selling it will go to St. Jude Children's cancer research.
Donna Jones from Jim Maloof Realty says it should have no problem selling.
"It's the second home buyer, some one that maybe has to sell their first time home. So it's a good step up," said Jones.
That's exactly what Jake and Rachel Cox thought when they toured the home with their new baby Sunday.
"We're looking to upgrade, maybe a few more bedrooms. Now we have a little one, so it's kind of nice to find a bit bigger house," said Jake.
Jones says the sale should generate $50,000 for St. Jude.
The least those behind the project can do, she says, when they think of the relief it could bring to thousands of little children fighting the same fight as Dax Locke.

CATEGORIES Movies"The Amazing Spider-Man" has been taking the box office by storm. Since opening on July 3, the film has made $75.5 million domestically, and could eventually compete with the Sam Raimi trilogy for top Spidey franchise.
However, while the Tobey Maguire-starring "Spider-Man" films are praised by both critics and audiences, they were not the first attempt to get the friendly neighborhood superhero onto the big screen. Over the last three decades, there have been several versions of "Spider-Man" that almost came to be: from a corny B-movie to an R-rated epic from James Cameron.
Moviefone takes a look back at the "Spider-Man" moves that almost happened. A "Spider-Man" Monster Movie, directed by Tobe Hooper ("Texas Chainsaw Massacre") The first studio to acquire the rights to "Spider-Man" was Cannon Films (the people behind '80s fare like "Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo," "Masters of the Universe" and "Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.") Studio chiefs Golan and Globus misinterpreted the concept, and wanted to do something more like "Swamp Thing." In their first proposal, Peter Parker is a lowly ID-badge photographer who is subjected to radiation from a mad scientist. He turns into a hairy, eight-armed tarantula monster that must fight off the scientist's mutant experiments before they take over the world. Naturally, producers approached horror-meister Hooper to direct and commissioned Leslie Stevens, the creator of "The Outer Limits," to pen the screenplay.
A Chuck Norris-style "Spider-Man," with Bob Hoskins as Doctor Octopus After Stan Lee rejected the monster movie idea, Cannon pursued a more action-oriented gameplan. They hired Joseph Vito, the auteur behind Chuck Norris' "Missing in Action" and "Invasion U.S.A.," to direct. In this new treatment, Otto Octavius and his research assistant Peter Parker are both transformed during a lab experiment involving a cyclotron. Parker's boss turns into the maniacal Doctor Octopus -- complete with head-scratching "okey dokey" catchphrase -- and it's up to Spidey to stop him from obtaining anti-gravity.
Hoskins was considered for the part of Ock, (and funnily enough, was an early ideal casting choice for Wolverine too). Although it never got very far, the movie audaciously considered Lauren Bacall and Audrey Hepburn for the part of Aunt May. For ol' webhead himself, the front-runner was stuntman Scott Leva; the unknown actor took promotional photos for Cannon, and was hired by Marvel to make public appearances and posed for comic book covers. James Cameron's "Spider-Man," with Arnold Schwarzenegger as Doc Ock The Zito production fell apart when its budget was severely cut. For the next several years, Cannon attempted several low-budget rewrites before the studio collapsed from financial ruin. Producer Golan held onto the rights and leveraged them to Viacom and Columbia Pictures, for TV and home video distribution. This would later create a huge legal mess that sank the companies.
Columbia was interested in producing the "Spider-Man" movie, but pushed Golan to make several rewrites. Instead, he released a press release to Variety announcing James Cameron had joined the project and re-submitted the existing script as a rewrite with the "Avatar" director's name attached. For this rehash of the cyclotron-based adventure, producers hoped to get Arnie as Doc Ock.
James Cameron's "Spider-Man," Take Two Eventually, Golan was able to actually get Cameron to contribute to the script, crafting a new plot that took some elements from previous versions, but now featured Electro and the Sandman as the movie's bad guys. Cameron's script went heavy on the profanity and the story would have culminated with a battle atop the World Trade Center. But the movie's most eyebrow-raising scene would have been a Spider-Man and Mary Jane love-making session that mimicked the mating rituals of arachnids, on top of the Brooklyn Bridge. (Because, why not?) You can check out storyboards from Cameron's "Spider-Man"here.)
Competing "Spider-Man" movies Cameron planned to produce his "Spider-Man" through Carolco Pictures; during this process, Golan was ousted as producer. As he sued Carolco, they began pursuing legal action against Viacom and Columbia, to get video rights back. Viacom and Columbia in turn countersued. Then 20th Century Fox stepped in and said Cameron had an exclusive contract with them and couldn't make movies for anyone else. During this time, Golan's production company, Carolco and Marvel all filed for bankruptcy. MGM acquired Golan's assets and then sued everybody to get "Spider-Man." In addition to this whole kerfuffle, contracts expired and Marvel regained the rights to the movie; they licensed "Spider-Man" to Sony/Columbia to pull themselves out of bankruptcy, which incensed MGM, who planned to make a competing "Spider-Man" movie.
The story gets even crazier when MGM exec John Calley switched sides to Columbia and brought with him Kevin McClory's claim to the "James Bond" franchise. Columbia planned to create another "Thunderball"/"Never Say Never Again" scenario to counteract the dueling "Spider-Man" movies. With both studios at a standoff, they agreed to a complex trade in which MGM held all film rights to "Bond" and Sony/Columbia could finally make a "Spider-Man" movie.
Before settling on Sam Raimi to direct, Sony courted many top filmmakers, like Tim Burton, Roland Emmerich, Chris Columbus and David Fincher; Fincher even presciently pitched a movie based around the Gwen Stacy story, as opposed to the origin of Peter Parker. After reaching a deal with Raimi, the production still used many elements from Cameron's plot. Eventually they switched out the Sandman and Electro with Doctor Octopus and the Green Goblin. After several more rewrites, the production finally settled on the story that became a box office hit in 2002. However, one idea from Cameron remained all along: replacing Spidey's mechanical web-shooters with an organic ability to spin webs.
Sam Rami's "Spider-Man 4" and "5," featuring the Lizard, the Vulture and the Vulturess Despite a disappointing audience response, "Spider-Man 3" was a massive financial success, guaranteeing another installment. The first lofty idea was to shoot "4" and "5" back-to-back, "Lord of the Rings"-style. Then Sony committed to shooting a "5" and "6" in succession before cameras even started rolling on a fourth.
Raimi's first plan was to finally transform supporting character Dr. Curt Connors into the Lizard. Then it looked like the movie's villain would be the Vulture. Sony began negotiating with John Malkovich for the part of the spindly old villain. Also up for consideration was Anne Hathaway as Felicia Hardy (who comic fans may know as the sexy crime-fighting Black Cat). But for reasons never explained, the movie would ignore her feline alter-ego and instead turn her into the Vultress. (Because Anne Hathaway would never work as a cat-based superhero character.)
Raimi was never happy with any version of a script for number four, and when Sony pushed him to commit to filming by a certain date, he instead chose to walk away, taking Tobey Maguire with him. Rather than try to find a replacement, Sony opted to reboot the series, leading us to right now.
Bonus: The Groovy '70s Spidey Trilogy International audiences were treated to three "Spider-Man" movies in the late '70s, when the CBS "Amazing Spider-Man" program had its pilot movie released as a feature film outside the U.S. In 1978 and 1979, they re-cut episodes of the show into the sequels "Spider-Man Strikes Back" and "Spider-Man: The Dragon's Challenge."

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass. Pours dark black, some foam. Mostly settles but light layer remains. Rich malty nose, nutty, with just a hint of coffee. Dark chocolate too. The taste is much more coffee than not. Full & throughout. Roasted bitter close. Smooth mouthfeel. Need a little more balance.

Appearance: Perfect. Dark mahogany brown with a thick and creamy brown head. Lacing is magnificent. Retention is at 3/8 of an inch for the entire life of the beer. Gorgeous.
Aroma: Sweet coffee liquor, espresso beans, vanilla syrup, cream, subtle sour fruit.
Taste: La Chouffe espresso liquor poured over strong coffee with a hint of cocoa powder, sweetening syrup, and just the slightest dash of a sour, acidic compound.
Mouthfeel: Luscious, creamy, blanketing, soft and comforting. Light carbonation, rich thick body. Fantastic.
Drinkability: Flawless. Sessionable.
One of the best stouts Ive had from a Wisconsin brewery. Perhaps the best. Compares to Speedway in many ways.

Pours a rich, creamy looking black with a large creamy deep-tan head. Very good lacing, very good legs. Thick wisps on the surface and medium collar. Aroma and taste are of very deep malt, burnt coffee, and dark chocolate. Full body and low carbonation lend to a great thick, rich mouthfeel.

Poured from the bottle.
It poured jet-black and smelled like cold coffee.
It tasted just like carbonated cold coffee. I enjoyed it, but if you do not like black coffee it would not be for you.
Similar to the Flat Earth Black Helicopter.
Would I buy it again? Absolutely.

thanks to trxxpaxxs for the bottle!
16oz bottle at fridge temp poured into a darkness snifter. no freshness date.
pours out nearly opaque black with a nice 2 fingers worth of light tan colored head. faded to a thin layer with a thick ring. some nice sticky, webby lace covers a lot of the glass.
some nice deep roasted malt, a little toasted malt, and a nice coffee aroma, definatly not anything espresso like or anything. some dark chocolate comes through as well.
a nice mix of deep roasted malt and slightly sweet toasted malt and some coffee makes an appearence. some nice dark chocolate notes towards the finish with some slightly dry bitterness.
slightly chalky mouthfeel, medium bodied, carbonation about right for the style.
a nicely made stout for sure, but i might not have known this was made with coffee had i tasted it blind. its somewhat hard to determine whether the deep roasted coffee flavors come from the malt or actual coffee. a well made beer nontheless, glad to have tried it.

Pitch black coffee hue with a big frothing tan head forming thick, this beer is pitch black it eats all visible light waves. Head leaves behind even patterned speckled lacing as it dwindles. Aroma dark chocolate, strong espresso dark nearly burnt malts. Black patent malt with some coffee notes. As it warms I get more creamed coffee notes in the nose, than I did initially out of the fridge. Dry roasted malts it's a one note flavor profile with dark nearly burnt old coffee water, the texture is so watery for a stout and the Luna Coffee mentioned on the label is lacking big time hints of dry roasted coffee but nothing like I've tasted in other coffee beers. Mild green fruity character shows up after a few sips even hints of sourdough bread, really a dry roasted malt fest. One pint bottles is pretty nice, a beer out of Green Bay, the Steelers would have won the superbowl if this beer were against any of the dark offerings from East End in the Burgh. Mouthfeel is a bit harsh with astringent dark roasted malts and coffee beans, leaves an unpleasant bitterness on the palate and for a stout this is a dry stout with coffee that is remarkably thin for being a stout. Carbonation is moderate doesn't add or take anything away from the party, this is my second straight coffee beer and I'm wide awake...guess what the coffee infused amber ale I just had sleighed this big brusing pitch black coffee stout from the North.

A- This beer pours a dense opaque black with a thin tan head even with a rigorous pour it is soon gone. There is a slow gentle carbonation.
S- The coffee black malt has dark rich caramel malt support.
T- The big dark coffee blend with black roasted malt that has some nice dry and chalky qualities and a nice roasted malt linger.
M- The light mouthfeel has a big scrubbing fizzy finish that scrubs the tongue and no alcohol heat.
O- The big coffee softer stout flavor with is rich but not much depth and is a bit thin in the body with a nice dry finish.

Luna is black, even to the point that scant brown comes through even at the very edges when held directly to the light. The head seems to struggle to form as first but does, to one finger in height. It doesn't last long but doesn't fade away entirely and does leave legs on my snifter.
The aroma evidences heavy malts, as does the flavor. Roast is the main factor, but raw coffee comes through past the char. A bit of bitter cacao natural to the process is also evident. This is pretty straight up. This one does lend itself to a bit of tang and astringency, though, particularly in the finish.
The feel is light for a stout, no question. It has a nice, abiding smoothness but falls a little flat. The roughness of the astrincency translates to a somewhat harsh dryness in the end.
Not bad, all in all. Smooth it out, balance it, get that astringent element out, and it's great.

Poured from a bottle into a nonic pint glass.
A: Pitch black with tinges of the deepest mahogany on the edges. Poured with 1" of a tan head reminiscent of creamed coffee that laced nicely and receded slowly.
S: Solid yet not overpowering aromas of coffee with hints of chocolate.
T: Big coffee taste that disappears into hints of chocolate and roasted malt, with a return of the coffee taste on the finish
M: Smooth and medium-thick with little carbonation.
D: This is a very delicious brew. Probably wouldn't want to have more than two a night simply due to size, and this is definitely not a "I'm gonna tie one on" beer, but on a cold winter night, you can't ask for a cold beer to warm you up more than this one.

a- like a shot of espresso. black, minimal head but present.
s- not a good aroma.
t- surprising. like a gravel road on a rainy day. the simple dark malts compliment a good punch of coffee. nitro helps the flavors blast through.

Damn near black with just the tiniest glints of cherrywood at the edge. The pale brown head builds nicely, lasts near forever and leaves the glass a mess.
Coffee is big on the nose, as expected. Then it gathers sweeter Kahlua, dark chocolate, and vanilla impressions, along with some background lactic notes. Roasted grain keeps things in check, and prevents it from teetering oversweet.
The roasted beans hit the mouth at the same time as the roasted grains. The coffee is earthy and light, and the grains don't pound you over the head with acrid bitterness either. This mild roasty gentleness fades into milk chocolate (and plain ol' milk), caramel, and a waft of smoke. There is a green-ish, grassy, chlorophyll-rich hoppiness that delivers some late bitterness, without a defined taste element.
The bodied is medium-ish, but sags a bit over the course. This seems to need a slightly sturdier platform to deliver it stoutness in full. It's a minor gripe, but I believe it would push it towards the top of the heap, as it is already rapidly drinkable. I'm not a huge nitro-tap guy, but if anything begs for one, this is it.
It's not so much coffee that traditionalists scoff, nor is it so light that those after some java wonder what happened.
In all, it's a very nice coffee stout.

2.79/5 rDev -22.9%
Pours pitch black with a paper thin beige head that disappears in less time than it takes to say "Luna Coffee Stout," despite a hard pour. Tiny trails of carbonation and light lacing.
Dominantly chocolate. Hints of roasted coffee can be found, but not nearly enough. As the temperature slowly increases, the aroma becomes sweeter as more chocolate notes and molasses are realized.
Mild bitter coffee up front and some dark chocolate on the finish, otherwise very underwhelming.
Thin body for a stout. Light carbonation. Surprisingly dry finish.
I was very disappointed in this one. I love coffee and dark chocolate, so I should I like this, but found myself wanting more. There are much better performers in the coffee stout arena, I recommend reaching for those first.

Appearance of this beer makes you feel on 1st pour that you are going to get something a little more robust than you do. The malty smell also adds to that feeling. However, the head soon disappears and the feel is a little thin. The taste is good at the front, but for me lacks a little at the tail. Pint bottle poured to a regular pint glass. Not bad, but probably won't search this one out again.

CHATTANOOGA (WRCB) - Plans are taking shape to revitalize Brainerd.
City leaders met with community groups Thursday to launch the "Enrich, Enlighten and Energize" initiative.
They hope to transform the area between the Brainerd Tunnel and the Chattanooga Airport into the new midtown of our city.
Some of the plans involve relocating pawn shops off the main strip and adding more sidewalks and green spaces.

2014 is officially here! The ChangeLab crew is very excited about this year, but first, a review of 2013 to give you some context. Last year was an inspiring one for us.

A renter escaped from an overnight fire in northern Davidson County but suffered serious burns.
The fire occurred around midnight at a home on Eatons Creek Road.
The victim was home alone when he smelled smoke coming from the kitchen and discovered his stove was on fire.
He tried to put it out himself, but the flames kept getting bigger.
Crews arrived within minutes but there wasn't much they could do to save the home.
The renter sustained first-, second- and third-degree burns on his arms and is hospitalized at Vanderbilt's Burn Center Thursday morning.
The cause of the fire is still unclear but may be electrical since a neighbor said one of the lights over the stove was sparking earlier.

(WMC-TV) - The complaints are still pouring in about ABC Waste failing to pick up customer's trash. The trash appears to be piling up, despite the Millington-based company's voicemail saying its service has returned to normal.
Customers say their calls are not being returned by ABC Waste and the trash along streets and in driveways is an unwanted sight.
"It's disgusting to look out and see the trash piled up by the road," said Lena Herron, who lives in Ripley, Tenn. "I'm paying for service and not getting service."
Herron says her trash has been sitting in her driveway for more than two weeks. In addition, she claims the company just withdrew $60 from her bank account, which is supposed to pay for the next three months of service.
Now, she wants to cancel her service because she says ABC Waste is not fulfilling their part of the deal.
"In order to cancel my service, its automatic payment, you have to have your account number and there's no way to contact them to get the number to cancel the service," she explained.
Last week, customers in Tipton County were facing similar problems. They say ABC Waste finally came late last week to collect piles of trash, but that was the last time anyone saw the company on the streets.
"I don't like trash in my yard, trash in my house," said Lesley Voss, who canceled his service with the company. "I like my things to be neat and a garbage can sitting at the road for three weeks isn't neat."
Voss says many of her friends around Ripley are also canceling their services.
Action News 5's Justin Hanson paid a visit to ABC Waste in Millington on Thursday. He noticed trash piled up in bins and several of the trucks appeared to be broken down.
The company told Hanson last week they would give unhappy customers a credit to their accounts.

Police say a young woman who was stumbling on a subway platform near Times Square fell onto the tracks and was killed by an oncoming train early Tuesday morning.
Authorities said the incident happened around 5:20 a.m. at the 34th Street and Seventh Avenue station, one stop away from Times Square. Witnesses said the 20-year-old woman climbed down onto the tracks on the No. 2 line, walked down the tunnel and laid down on the tracks.
This is the third deaths on the subways in recent weeks. Two men were pushed to their deaths in December.

James Harden with an unreal crossover on Jrue Holiday
James Harden (ASU) and Jrue Holiday (UCLA) only met twice during their Pac-12 days, but Saturday the former Sun Devil gave fans a taste of what things might have been like had both stayed in school.
The 76ers would beat the Rockets 107-100, but not before Harden got the last laugh with a crossover for the ages on Holiday in the fourth quarter.
It wasn't all bad for the former Bruin. Despite being embarrassed for a split second, Holiday finished with a game-high 30 points and nine rebounds.
And it should be noted that both Pac-12 alums are having career years starring for their respective teams.

It's just a place to sleep. Nothing more. Not a good place for meeting new people, but the beds are quite comfortable, and the location is okay. A bit outside the City center, but there's a nearby metrostation, and the tram is just outside the door. Next time I'm going to Budapest, I'll find another place to stay. Nothing bad about this place, I just like when a hostel is more than just a place to sleep :)

Finding Magazine and Journal Articles
The Cal libraries have access to thousands of scholarly journals and hundreds of popular magazines, both electronically in and in printed format.
Not sure of the difference between a scholarly journal and a popular magazine? Journals contain articles written by experts (university professors, professional researchers) for other experts in the same field of study. Journal articles are usually very specialized and can be more difficult to read, if you are not already knowledgeable in the subject area. Magazines contain articles written by journalists or freelance writers, intended for the general public. Always check with your instructor to see if magazine articles are acceptable to use as sources for your paper!
Some good general resources for electronic magazine and journal articles are Academic Search Complete and JSTOR.
Academic Search Complete contains information about thousands of articles in magazines AND journals; limit your search to Scholarly/Peer Reviewed Journals to see only scholarly journal articles. Click "Linked Full Text" or "PDF Full Text" to read the whole article. All subject areas are included in Academic Search Complete.
JSTOR is an interdiscplinary (all subject areas) article database that includes only scholarly articles, from thousands of different scholarly journals.
History Article Databases
America: History and Life
Indexes over 2,000 journals published worldwide on the history of the US and Canada from prehistory to the present. Includes all key English-language historical journals; selected historical journals from major countries, state, and local history journals; and a targeted selection of hundreds of journals in the social sciences and humanities.
C19: The Nineteenth Century Index
Comprehensive coverage of nineteenth-century books, periodicals, official documents, newspapers and archives. C19 Index draws on the Nineteenth Century Short Title Catalogue, The Wellesley Index, Poole's Index and Periodicals Index Online to create integrated bibliographic coverage of over 1.4 million books and official publications, 64,891 archival collections and 15.6 million articles published in over 2,500 journals, magazines and newspapers.
OskiCat and Melvyl
To find books, DVDs, maps, sound recordings, manuscripts, and much more - everything except articles - use a library catalog. At Cal, we have two catalogs: OskiCat and Melvyl.
- OskiCat = most UC Berkeley libraries
- MELVYL = all UC campus libraries, including all UC Berkeley libraries
What's the difference? More details here.
For each item you find in OskiCat or Melvyl, make sure you know which campus library it's located in, what its call number is, and whether or not it's checked out, library use only, etc.
Call numbers are on the spine of the book; learn how to read them so you can find what you need on the shelves.
Historical Newspapers (ProQuest)
Want to find scanned articles from major U.S. newspapers, going back to the mid-19th century? You can do this through an easy-to-use online database: ProQuest Historical Newspapers. This database includes articles from the Chicago Defender (1905-1975), the Chicago Tribune (1849-1987), Los Angeles Times (1881-1987), the New York Times (1851-2007), the San Francisco Chronicle (1865-1922), the Wall Street Journal (1889-1993), and the Washington Post (1877-1994).
Trying to use Historical Newspapers from off-campus? Be sure to set up off-campus access. Use of this resource is restricted to UC Berkeley students, faculty and staff.
Google Books
Google Books contains millions of scanned books, from libraries and publishers worldwide. You can search the entire text of the books, view previews or "snippets" from books that are still in copyright, and read the full text of out-of-copyright (pre-1923) books. Want to read the entire text of an in-copyright book? Use Google Books' Find in a Library link to locate the book in a UC Berkeley library, or search OskiCat to see if UC Berkeley owns the book.
Why use Google Books?
Library catalogs (like OskiCat) don't search inside books; using a library catalog, you can search only information about the book (title, author, Library of Congress subject headings, etc.). Google Books will let you search inside books, which can be very useful for hard-to-find information. Try it now:

Salonga's new show, which is titled Back to Before, is described as a "nostalgic repertoire in which she revisits her life as a New Yorker and pays tribute to her favorite ladies—most notably Ella Fitzgerald and her idol, Barbra Streisand," according to press notes. Attendees can also expect interpretations of songs by "resilient female characters in the American musical theatre canon."
The program is directed by Victor Lirio with original arrangements and music direction by Larry Yurman. Salonga is joined by Jeff Harris on piano, John Miller on bass and Jack Cavari on guitar.
Show times are Tuesdays-Saturdays at 8:45 PM with additional late shows Saturdays at 10:45 PM.

Nobody was laughing when an amateur video surfaced in September in which Romney seemed to dismiss 47 percent of Americans during remarks at a closed-door fundraiser earlier in the campaign. The fact that the video was surreptitiously recorded from the back of the room made it all the more juicy. Just for the record, here's exactly what Romney said: "There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right? There are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing, to you name it. That that's an entitlement. And the government should give it to them. And they will vote for this president no matter what. .... These are people who pay no income tax. Forty-seven percent of Americans pay no income tax. So our message of lower taxes doesn't connect. So he'll be out there talking about tax cuts for the rich. I mean, that's what they sell every four years. "And so my job is not to worry about those people. I'll never convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives." Romney later labeled his remarks "inelegant," and after that said his comments were "just completely wrong." Ryan chimed in to say Romney had been "obviously inarticulate."
