John Jonah Jameson, Jr.[1] is a supporting character (and sometimes an antagonist) of Spider-Man in the Marvel Comics Universe.
Jameson is usually the publisher or editor-in-chief of the Daily Bugle, a fictional New York newspaper and now serves as the mayor of New York City. Recognizable by his toothbrush moustache, flattop haircut, and ever-present cigar, he carries out a smear campaign against Spider-Man that has, at least temporarily, turned much of the gullible city against the hero. He employs photojournalist Peter Parker, who, unbeknownst to Jameson, is Spider-Man's alter ego.
Portrayals of Jameson have varied throughout the years. Sometimes he is shown as a foolishly stubborn and pompous skinflint who micromanages his employees and resents Spider-Man out of jealousy. Other writers have portrayed him more humanly, as a humorously obnoxious yet caring boss who nevertheless has shown great bravery and integrity in the face of the assorted villains with which the Bugle comes into contact, and whose campaign against Spider-Man comes more from fear of youngsters following his example. In either case, he has remained an important part of the Spider-Man mythos.
Jameson is also the father of John Jameson, the Marvel Universe supporting character who, in addition to his job as a famous astronaut, has at turns become Man-Wolf and Star-God, and married She-Hulk.
As a result of his father's wedding to May Parker, Jameson and Peter Parker are related by marriage.
This section requires expansion. (April 2010) |
Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Steve Ditko, Jameson first appeared in The Amazing Spider-Man #1 (March 1963). Stan Lee stated in an interview on Talk of the Nation that he modeled J. Jonah Jameson as a much grumpier version of himself.[2]
According to Behind the Mustache, a story featured in Spider-Man's Tangled Web #20 (January 2003), Jameson was raised as a child by David and Betty Jameson. David was an officer of the United States Army, a war veteran decorated as a hero; at home, however, David regularly abused his wife and son. As a result, J. Jonah Jameson grew convinced that "No one's a hero every day of the week" and "Even the real heroes can't keep it up all the time." Later issues of The Amazing Spider-Man clarified that David Jameson was in fact Jonah's foster father, and the brother of J. Jonah Jameson Sr., Jonah's biological father, who had to leave his son behind for undisclosed reasons. It is unknown if Jameson Jr. remembered him.
He was a Boy Scout during his childhood. In high school, his interests were mainly boxing and photography. He met his first wife, Joan, when they both joined their high school's photo club. When the school's three top athletes started bullying him, he fought back and beat all three of them to a pulp. This impressed Joan, and they started dating. They married as soon as they finished school.
After school, Jameson sought employment as a journalist. According to Marvels #1, he found employment in the Daily Bugle and bragged to his colleagues that he would one day run the newspaper. In 1939, he witnessed the first appearances of Jim Hammond, the android Human Torch, and Namor, Prince of Atlantis, who are jointly considered Marvel's first superheroes. Jameson was immediately skeptical of both of them; he doubted that someone with superhuman powers who operated outside the law could be trusted. When the U.S.A. joined World War II in 1941, Jameson served as a war correspondent in Europe. Sergeant Fury and His Howling Commandos #110 featured him as covering a mission of Sergeant Nicholas Fury, who was heading a team of commandos during the war.
After the war, he and Joan had a son, John Jonah III, who grew up to become an astronaut. When Jameson returned from a journalistic mission in Korea, he was grieved to find that his wife had died in a mugging incident during his absence. Focusing on his professional life to dull the pain, he was eventually promoted to chief editor of the Daily Bugle, and eventually came to own the paper, thereby fulfilling his earlier boasts.
Jameson gained a mostly deserved reputation for journalistic integrity, but his greedy opportunism and unyielding belligerent stubbornness made him more than a few enemies.
Due to real-world time advancement Jameson's war-time experiences have since either been ignored or retconned.
When Spider-Man becomes a media sensation, Jameson strives to blacken Spider-Man's reputation; casting the masked hero as an unhinged vigilante not only boosts the Bugle's circulation, but also punishes Spider-Man for overshadowing Jameson's astronaut son. When Spider-Man tries to counter the bad press by rescuing his son from danger, Jameson accuses the hero of staging the situation for his own benefit.[3] (A retcon had Jameson first targeting Spider-Man after John is dropped from a talk show to make room for the hero)[4]
This episode sets a pattern with Jameson's and Spider-Man's relationship: Jameson publicly accusing Spider-Man of numerous crimes and misdeeds, only to feel continually obliged to print almost as many retractions after being proven wrong. After his accusations that Spider-Man is the notorious criminal overlord The Big Man are debunked, Jameson admits that he is jealous of Spider-Man's courage and selflessness. Jameson believes that he cannot look at himself as a good man while a hero like Spider-Man exists.[5] Despite this, he openly idolizes Captain America, and Mary Jane Watson-Parker has suggested that Jameson hates Spider-Man mainly because he acts outside the law.[6] In Tangled Web #20, a psychiatrist suggests it's the mask that bothers him and that when he sees people who "claimed to be heroes, but covered their faces", he is subconsciously sure that they're hiding a horrible secret like his foster father was.
Though Jonah's rancor against Spider-Man at times subsides after he saves the life of one of his loved ones,[6] his determination to find some flaw in the hero always returns before long. For his part, Spider-Man's reaction ranges from frustration and anger at the ungrateful publisher, which leads to occasional pranks to antagonize him, to an amused acceptance of his self-destructive stubbornness.
Jameson posts rewards for Spider-Man's capture or secret identity, hunts him with Spencer Smythe's Spider-Slayer robots,[7] and even commissions superpowered agents to defeat the masked man. He hires a private detective named MacDonald Gargan, puts him through a regimen of genetic enhancement, and transforms him into the Scorpion - only to have Gargan go insane and turn on his benefactor.[8] Although Spider-Man protects Jameson from the Scorpion, Jameson keeps his role in creating the Scorpion secret for years. He creates another superbeing, who turned into a supervillain, the Human Fly, who had his own vendetta against him.[9] He hires Silver Sable and her Wild Pack to hunt Spider-Man down, and also hires Luke Cage to capture Spider-Man when he is wanted for the deaths of Gwen Stacy and Norman Osborn.
For all his hostility towards Spider-Man, Jameson needs photographs of his heroics to sell papers, and Peter Parker takes advantage of that by taking pictures of himself as Spider-Man and selling them to the Bugle with few questions asked.[10]
Despite his feelings towards Spider-Man, Jameson helps him out during a demonic attack on New York. The publishing offices of the Daily Bugle come under siege and Jameson leads the defense. An injured Spider-Man and Jameson cooperate in defending the others.
Though best known for his crusades against vigilante superheroes like Spider-Man, Jameson never hesitates to use the power of his paper against supervillains, crimebosses (including the Kingpin[11]), and crooked politicians. He publishes a major expose on presidential candidate Randolf Cherryh's criminal ties, acknowledging in advance that a retaliatory lawsuit from Cherryh could bankrupt the Daily Bugle.[12] Jameson later takes an aggressive stance against presidential candidate Graydon Creed, attacking him for his anti-mutant agenda and investigating the shadowy Operation: Zero Tolerance, though he never manages to uncover the truth.[citation needed]
In Amazing Spider-Man #162 (November 1976), Jameson introduces himself to Dr. Marla Madison, a distinguished scientist and daughter of a deceased friend of his. He asks for her help in creating a new Spider-Slayer, one of a series of robots created to defeat Spider-Man, although Spider-Man has managed to survive their attacks and destroy each of them. Madison is interested in the challenge, and joins Jameson in his efforts. The two grow closer, eventually marrying but not without another attack from the Scorpion, who kidnaps Marla and is defeated by Spider-Man.[13] Jameson remains a devoted, if a little overprotective, husband to his second wife.
Marla Madison adopts Mattie Franklin, the daughter of one of Jonah's friends. Though Jonah is initially opposed to having a roguish teenager in his house, especially one who insists on affectionately calling him "Unca Jonah",[14] he soon warms up to Mattie, coming to regard her almost as a surrogate daughter.[15][16] Two weeks after Mattie is abducted for illegal harvesting of mutant growth hormone, private investigators Jessica Drew and Jessica Jones track her down and inform Jonah and Marla that Mattie is also the vigilante Spider-Woman.[16] For saving Mattie, Jonah heavily promotes Jones' agency and later hires her as a reporter for the Bugle's new Pulse magazine.[citation needed]
The guilt for creating the Scorpion catches up with Jameson when the Hobgoblin blackmails him about it. When he receives the threats, rather than succumb to the Hobgoblin, Jameson chooses instead to reveal it to the world in a public editorial. He steps down as the Bugle's editor-in-chief, delegating the post to his immediate subordinate, Joseph "Robbie" Robertson, but Jameson remains its publisher.
Jonah's control of the Daily Bugle is bought out from under him by multimillionaire Thomas Fireheart. Fireheart had felt that he owed Spider-Man a debt of honor and in an attempt to repay the hero, he purchases the Daily Bugle[volume & issue needed] and begins a pro-Spider-Man campaign.[17] Jameson starts up a rival magazine which continues to produce anti-Spider-Man articles.[volume & issue needed] Spider-Man finds Fireheart's campaign embarrassing at best, and after he repeatedly demands that he stop, Fireheart challenges the web-slinger to a battle to the death in New Mexico. He then sells the Bugle back to Jameson for the sum of one dollar, on the condition that he print an obituary "For either me, or Spider-Man."[18] Jameson, though shocked by the request, takes the deal.
Soon after this he is blackmailed into selling the Bugle to Norman Osborn after threats were made against his family; simultaneously, he is attacked and hounded by the supervillain Mad Jack. The time spent as a subordinate to Osborn took a heavy mental toll, almost driving him to attempted murder, but he is finally able to reclaim the Bugle after Osborn is driven underground by temporary insanity.
When a duplicate of Spider-Man created by Mysterio jumps in front of Jameson's car while he's driving home from work one day, he crashes into a tree. He is believed killed in the car crash, dying upon impact, and the media blames Spider-Man for his tragic and untimely demise. Later, he is shown ascending to "the light", only for him to be condemned for all the injustices he committed in life. He is then shown descending into Mysterio's staged version of Hell, where he is tormented by a Spider-Man-esque demon, though this is revealed to just be a part of Mysterio's revenge on Jameson, and he is eventually rescued by none other than Spider-Man himself.[19]
Jameson's influence on the paper as its publisher was shown in the 2006-2007 Civil War: Front Line where he pressures his staff into supporting the government's Superhuman Registration Act, still directing the general tone of the paper, despite losing his more hands-on position.[20] When Spider-Man unmasked to reveal himself to be Peter Parker, Jameson fainted in shock at the realization that the man he had been calling a menace had actually been on his payroll for years.
On top of the Parker revelation, he had to deal with the notion that She-Hulk had now become his daughter-in-law. This was not helped by the fact that She-Hulk and Spider-Man had previously sued him for libel.
It has been since revealed that Jameson had always believed that between him and Peter Parker was a bond of trust and he had always regarded him as another son, the "last honest man" in the world; he had always bought his photos, even the ones that he considered inferior, to help him in a discreet manner. After Peter's public confession, he felt so betrayed and humiliated that it shattered their bond, and he became determined to make Peter "pay", despite Parker (as enforcer) and Jameson both actively supporting the Superhuman Registration Act. He planned to sue his former protege for fraud, demanding back all the money he paid Peter over the years. However, he found out that the government had granted Parker amnesty for all the acts he had done to protect his secret identity, which included taking photos of himself (see She-Hulk #9). Both this and his son's marriage to She-Hulk drove Jameson into a fit of rage, and he attacked his new daughter-in-law with the original Spider-Slayer. Luckily, she easily destroyed it, and to smooth things over, said she would take the case for fraud against Spider-Man (while privately intending to drag it out as long as possible).
Spider-Man later defected from the government's side in enforcing the Registration Act and joined up with Captain America's Secret Avengers, openly rebelling against the new law and fighting those attempting to enforce it. Issues of Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man revealed that Jameson posted a reward to bring Peter in. He also committed libel against Parker by coercing Peter's old girlfriend Debra Whitman into writing an untrue account of him; Betty Brant has secretly supplied information about this to The Daily Globe, which then published a front-page exposé.
In the most recent development, his editor-in-chief and closest friend Robbie Robertson stood up to Jameson and his shoddy treatment of Peter/Spider-Man over the years. Unable or unwilling to admit that he had gone too far in his hatred of Spider-Man, Jameson fired Robertson. Later, Spider-Man learned of this from Betty Brant and decided that he and Jameson should have a long overdue "chat". Some time later, Jameson showed up at the Robertson house, with a bottle of wine, two black eyes, and a broken hand. Robbie let him in, and Jameson relates what happened: Jameson discovered his office at the Bugle covered with webbing, with a note attached telling him to meet Spider-Man at an old gangster lair. Spider-Man tried to persuade Jameson to rehire Robbie, and Jameson gave him a choice: to have the lawsuit against him dropped, or for Robbie to be rehired. Spider-Man chose the former, revealing that he did so because he believes Jameson only fired Robbie to get a rise out of him. Spider-Man then told Jameson to hit him, as many times as he'd like, to finally work out his frustrations. Jameson was initially reluctant, until Spider-Man started goading him, threatening to inform his wife and son of his "cowardice". Jameson snapped, and started hitting Spider-Man again and again and again, resulting in his broken hand. When it was over, Spider-Man went into the rafters and brought Jameson back a roll of film, containing pictures of their "fight", telling him the photographs depicting him standing back and letting Jameson beat him up would sell "a gazillion copies", and left. Later, at the Bugle, Jameson crushed the film with his foot, not knowing quite why he was doing it. As he turned to leave, Betty Brant accidentally hit him in the face with a door, resulting in his two black eyes. Back in the present, Jameson told Robbie of his decision to rehire him and to drop the lawsuit against Peter.
After the status quo was revised in the "Brand New Day" storyline, Peter's identity is once again a secret. The Daily Bugle has hit hard times with Peter not selling as many Spider-Man pictures as usual and star reporter Ben Urich gone. These circumstances led to Jonah facing a buyout from the wealthy Dexter Bennett. This forced Jonah to stop everyone's checks to build the capital needed to save the paper, with everyone at the Bugle working temporarily for free as a sign of solidarity. Needing money for an apartment, Peter came to the Bugle claiming he was owed money, to which Jonah yelled at him, causing Peter to snap and yell back, stating that his photographs kept the Bugle selling while Jonah raked in the profits and paid Peter a pittance. This caused Jonah to yell at Peter again, but he stopped short owing to a heart attack.[volume & issue needed]
Peter spent an unknown period of time giving Jonah CPR to try and save him until the paramedics arrived; upon arriving they rushed Jonah to the hospital where he was depicted resting before surgery. His wife began talking to a lawyer about power of attorney and selling the final shares of the Bugle without Jonah having a say. When Peter, as Spider-Man, paid a visit, he accidentally let slip that the Daily Bugle has sold to Dexter Bennett, which caused Jonah to have another heart attack, forcing Spidey to once again give him CPR. Surprisingly, Jonah did not blame Spider-Man for once, but instead he just kept on muttering, "Dexter Bennett".[volume & issue needed]
Jonah's condition later improved, to the point where he takes physiotherapy sessions and t'ai chi classes. However, he loses his temper if he sees or hears about Dexter Bennett and the D.B. He is also apparently facing problems with his wife, as he has yet to forgive her for selling the Bugle.[volume & issue needed]
This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. (April 2011) |
In a 2009 storyline, Jameson is elected the mayor of New York City.[21] In his new office, Jonah receives a visit from his estranged father J. Jonah Jameson Sr. demanding that Jonah cease his vendetta with Spider-Man, citing Spider-Man's many heroic deeds and the fact that the Avengers and even Captain America had accepted him. Spider-Man then enters the mayor's office hoping to establish a truce with him only for Jonah to announce that he has assembled an "Anti-Spider Squad" to capture Spider-Man. Spider-Man responds by taking his superhero work into overdrive, committing heroic deeds all over the city simply to enrage Jameson. Jameson responds by putting his squad on double-shifts, severely straining the city council's budget.[22]
In the "Dark Reign" storyline, with Norman's rise to power, Dark Avengers member Spider-Man (really Mac Gargan) seeks to get revenge on Jameson. When Jameson arrived at his home, he was shocked to find a dead stripper on his bed.[23] When Gargan starts a gang war, Jameson goes to Osborn to help and is given "Spider-Man". He later discovers Spider-Man has caused the gang war and tries to confront Norman, though Spider-Man's name is cleared when he appears to save the Big Apple Festival from Bullseye, Daken, and the gangs involved. Jameson's popularity jumps from having worked with Spider-Man to solve the problem, though he does not realize during the course of the events that he is dealing with a different Spider-Man.[24]
He also eventually learns that his father is marrying May Parker, something he personally doesn't like, but in the end he begrudgingly accepts, even offering to pay for their ceremony out of his own pocket, and preside over it. The marriage also technically makes him Peter Parker's uncle, something he very clearly dislikes.[25]
Later, Spider-Man tries to stop the Chameleon from setting off a bomb that would kill thousands. Jameson has his squad attack in Mandroid suits. Spider-Man uses his knowledge of the Mandroid suits to disarm the bomb. The squad, instead of following orders and arresting Spider-Man, lets him go. The next day, Jameson is shocked to learn that every member of the squad resigned, and his aide tells him Jonah is getting out of control given Spider-Man's heroics. When Jameson yells about how the public has to see Spider-Man as a menace, the aide snaps that this was not the Daily Bugle. He tenders his own resignation, telling Jameson that he has to choose between Spider-Man or actually helping the city.[26]
Jameson later gives a financial bailout to Dexter Bennett to keep The DB! afloat. This led to a public backlash, which the villain, Electro, takes advantage of. Electro espouses taking down the DB!, a greedy corporation asking for money, and draws energy from his city-wide supporters turning on all their electrical appliances. In a showdown with Spider-Man inside the building, Dexter Bennett is crushed by rubble and the DB! building is completely destroyed. The destruction of the Bugle's longtime headquarters proves heartbreaking for Jameson, who is upset with his life's work and all of his memories being destroyed.[27]
During Spider-Man's encounter with the latest Vulture in Amazing Spider-Man #623-624, it was falsely stated by a mob boss that Jameson was responsible for his creation in order to get that Vulture to attack Jameson. Spider-Man ends up fighting the Vulture to protect him.[28] Security guard Gabriel Graham, whom Jameson didn't even know the name of before, gives up his life to protect Jameson from the Vulture, something that greatly affects Jameson, and makes Peter decide to make a doctored photo showing Jameson trying to fight back against the Vulture. While the picture in fact gets back support for Jameson from the public, and eventually makes several people admit the truth of the situation, Jameson exposes the picture as a fake, and publicly fires Peter Parker, which leads to Peter, now seen as practically a con artist, being blacklisted by every news source.[29]
During the "Heroic Age" storyline, J. Jonah Jameson witnesses the reformation of the Avengers.[30] and is later targeted by an assassin called the Extremist.[31]
After Spider-Man saves the whole of New York from a bomb planted by Doctor Octopus, Jameson is talked by his son and Steve Rogers into holding a ceremony to give him the key to the city, much to his chagrin.[32] At the same time, he cashes the shares he owned of the DB!, giving the money to Robbie Robertson, so that he can rebuild Front Line into the new Daily Bugle.[33]
During the events of the "Big Time" storyline Alistair Smythe tried to kill J. Jonah Jameson. Marla Jameson jumped in front of him saving his life but died in the process. As he held Marla, Jameson did not blame Spider-Man, but instead blamed himself."[34] During the attacks of the villain Massacre, J. Jonah Jameson comforts a boy named Liam who lost his mother when Massacre attacked the bank she was visiting. J. Jonah Jameson plans to have Alistair Smythe receive the death penalty for what happened to Marla. After Spider-Man defeated Massacre and kept the NYPD from killing him and instead handed him over to the police, Jameson berates Spider-Man for saving the life of a murderer; however, Spider-Man replies that "no one dies".[35]
During the "Spider-Island" storyline, J. Jonah Jameson's popularity as the mayor has plummeted and his Anti-Spider-Man Squad is considered to be a huge tax drain. He is shown to have been infected with spider powers [36] and soon mutates into a spider-like creature where he nearly kills Allistair Smythe, partly due to fact that he was responsible for the death of Jameson's wife.[37] The mayor is eventually cured of the spider-virus, along with the rest of the citizens of New York.[38] At present, Mayor Jameson shuts down Horizon Labs, (albeit without a court order), on the accusation that it conducts dangerous experiments and harbors criminals such as Morbius.[39] He places the city under martial law with his Anti-Spider-Man Squad patrolling the streets to prevent any looting during the "Ends of the Earth" storyline.[40] However, when Horizon Labs returns as heroes, Jameson is forced to re-open their New York facilities to save face, though he still demands the expulsion of Morbius.[41]
After Superior Spider-Man (Doctor Octopus' mind in Spider-Man's body) stops the Sinister Six, Mayor J. Jonah Jameson comes to thank him personally, while Peter Parker's consciousness is shocked to see Jameson's drastically changed attitude towards the hero.[42] On the top of the police station building Jameson, Chief Pratchett and Carlie Cooper stand near to the improvised "Spider-Signal". Jameson boasts about his wise ruling policy while Carlie doubts Superior Spider-Man will ever show up. But he finally does and short-circuits the signal. Jameson discharges oaths about wasted taxpayer dollars, and Superior Spider-Man explains they can hinder him using the signal, humiliating Jameson between the lines.[43] When Massacre rigs the doors of Grand Central Station to explode, this even worries Jameson.[44] While speaking in a press conference, Jameson is suddenly attacked by criminal pranksters Jester and Screwball who assault their victims and broadcast it through the internet in a web-show called "Jested" (similar to popular TV show Punk'd). Both pranksters humiliate Jameson and transmit it all over the world, where even Superior Spider-Man laughs it off. Then he gets summoned by Jameson himself to the City Hall where he asks him to arrest Jester and Screwball. Superior Spider-Man dismisses it at first, but after Jameson reminded him of all the times Superior Spider-Man has pulled pranks on him (and even Otto remembers Peter's quips against him), he agrees to catch them putting his Patrol App on course. Superior Spider-Man beats up Jester and Screwball where his brutality being watched all over the city including Jameson (who is enjoying the punishment).[45]
Jameson argues with his father about the actions of Superior Spider-Man.[46] Jameson later enlists Superior Spider-Man to help oversee the execution of Alistair Smythe. Jameson arrives to the Raft for a final inspection before Smythe's execution, where he has told that all of the Raft's inmates will be transferred once Jameson shuts it down, highlighting the infirmary where Boomerang, Vulture and Scorpion are being attended. Jameson, alongside Superior Spider-Man, his assistant Glory Grant and Bugle reporter Norah Jones, watch the procedure of Smythe's execution, while he claims to be a "better person"[47]
Jameson reflecting on the moment whose Smythe killed his wife Marla right in front on him, sadly proclaiming that he will not keep the promise to fulfill her dying wish until Smythe dies, swearing that he will not leave the island. After Smythe's escape, Jameson, Glory Grant, Norah Winters, and the remaining civilians are surrounded by Superior Spider-Man's Spider-Bots and then are informed by Otto (in a pre-recorded holgoram) that he has taken measures to counteract any attempt of escape so his Spider-Bots will safeguard them in a force field while the reinforcements arrive, but Jonah refuses to stand still inside the force field, willing to go and help Superior Spider-Man against Smythe. When Smythe has the upper hand over Superior Spider-Man, Jameson poses as a prison guard to narrowly shoot Smythe. Superior Spider-Man accuses Jameson of leaving the force field, but Jameson confronts Superior Spider-Man to tell him he brought him to ensure that Smythe gets executed by any means necessary, implying that he has giving permission to Superior Spider-Man to directly kill him. Superior Spider-Man accepts and tells Jameson to go back to the force field with the others. Smythe sends Scorpion to target Jameson.[48] Jameson is assaulted by Scorpion who was more than willing to kill him only to be stopped by the Lizard. Once aboard the rescue boat, Jameson prepares himself for a press conference musing that he will be happy once the Raft is destroyed. Superior Spider-Man sways him apart and tells him that he should give him the Raft for his new base of operations. Jameson refuses only to be blackmailed by Superior Spider-Man with a recording of their meeting at the Raft where Jameson grants permission to Superior Spider-Man to kill Smythe. Fearing the repercussions (and in the process reigniting his hatred towards Superior Spider-Man), Jameson agrees and makes the announcement in his press conference where he publicly gives Superior Spider-Man the Raft as his new Super Hero Headquarters which Superior Spider-Man rechristens it as "Spider-Island II".[49]
During the attacks of the Goblin King's Goblin Underground, Mayor Jameson unveils the Goblin-Slayers (which Mary Jane thinks might be former Spider-Slayers) which he plans to use to combat the Goblin threat.[50] Jameson orders to send one of the Goblin Slayers to the robbery location and then head to chase Superior Spider-Man. His Spider-Slayers confront Superior Spider-Man as Spider-Slayers with Jameson's face projected on the front faceplate. Jameson replies that he is done with being blackmailed by him and does not care if Jameson loses everything as long as he can finally bring down Superior Spider-Man, but his Spider-Slayers are reactivated by Green Goblin and voice rings out declaring that he has taken control of the Spider-Slayers as Green Goblin comments that Norman Osborn now runs this city.[51] In New York City Hall, Jameson is coming under heavy fire for the fact that his Spider-Slayers have turned against the people. He tries to blame Alchemax, but his accusations are swiftly rebuked by Liz Allan who appears via video link declares that Alchemax is severing all ties with Jameson.[52] Jameson shows his frustration for his personal downfall after the Spider Slayers' failure, but Tiberius Stone uses this as a chance to sell them as weapons to other nations. In the aftermath, Spider-Man is restored to his body Octavius sacrificing his own mind to bring Peter back as he recognizes that Peter Parker is the true Spider-Man and Green Goblin's plan is thwarted, Spider-Man visiting Jameson's office to confront him after what happened and returns him the Spider-Bot that Doctor Octopus used to record his blackmail material. Jameson replies that he will not accept it since he would not believe whatever Spider-Man says, regarding him now as a "monster" that does not own up to the consequences of his actions and instead stomps on others. Spider-Man replies that he will not expect him to believe this but says that he should not fear him, and should not take the blame for everything that Green Goblin caused, but to stay and fight. Once Spider-Man leaves, Jameson reveals that he had already resigned his post as Mayor of New York City and leaves the office, promising that from now on he will kick back.[53]
During the Original Sin storyline, the eye of the murdered Uatu the Watcher revealed that J. Jonah Jameson had fired a former Daily Bugle employee for viewing an embarrassing article that he wrote in which he praised Spider-Man in his early days of being a wrestler.[54] Jameson later established the Fact Channel. As Silk battles against Electro and Spider-Man deals with Black Cat, Jameson remains on the channel forcing the cameraman to film the action. Black Cat deviate one of Electro's bolts hitting Spider-Man, knocking him down in the process. Black Cat attempts to unmask Spider-Man as Jameson aims the camera.[55] However, Jameson's angle prevents anyone seeing Spider-Man's face long enough for Silk to knock Black Cat back and Spider-Man to put his mask back on.[56]
Here are the known family members of J. Jonah Jameson:
In 1602: New World, the sequel to Marvel 1602, Jameson is an Irish colonist and friend of Ananias Dare. He prints the Roanoke Colony's newspaper, The Daily Trumpet, with the assistance of Peter Parquagh, whom he orders to learn more about the mysterious "Spider", believing him to be a threat to the colony.
In the alternate reality of Earth X, everyone on Earth has been affected by the Terrigen Mists, granting everyone superpowers. Jameson is turned into a humanoid donkey. It is also revealed that after he published information exposing Peter Parker as Spider-Man, his reputation was ruined, as no one trusted a man who had spent years paying the very hero he called a menace.
In the original Marvel universe of G.I. Joe, Jameson is seen hassling a news vendor for the seeming lack of any Daily Bugle papers.[62]
In the "House of M" reality created by the insane Scarlet Witch and in which mutants are dominant over baseline humans, Jameson is the maltreated publicist of Peter Parker, here a celebrity without a secret identity. Despising Peter and only keeping his job for the pay, Jameson gets his chance to completely ruin his boss when the Green Goblin gives him Peter's old journal. Learning that Peter is a mutate instead of a mutant, Jameson reveals this to the populace of the world, who come to hate Peter for having only pretended to be a mutant. He is left grieving and guilt-ridden when Spider-Man appears to have killed himself.[63]
In the MC2 continuity, an alternate future of the mainstream Marvel Universe, Jonah is still the publisher of The Daily Bugle. His wife, Marla is still alive.[64] He hires May Parker, the daughter of Peter, as a photographer. Ironically, he is very supportive of Spider-Girl, in contrast to his stance on her father (in the MC2 continuity, Spider-Man's identity was never made public).[65] He also supported "Project Human Fly", another attempt to create a superhero, this time in response to the death of Joseph "Robbie" Robertson at the hands of Doctor Octopus. When "Buzz" Bannon, the intended subject of Project Human Fly, is murdered and the suit stolen, he immediately condemns The Buzz, the identity assumed by the person who stole the suit. However, he is unaware that his own grandson, Jack "J.J." Jameson and The Buzz are one and the same person.[66]
In the Marvel Knights four-issue series Spider-Man: Reign, set 35 years in the future, an elderly Jameson is seen returning to a totalitarian New York, with the mission of convincing a middle age Peter Parker to return as Spider-Man to save the city from being enclosed by Mayor Waters' WEBB security system. After attacking Reign officers, he is saved by the newly returned Spider-Man. Jonah next rounds up groups of children to join his cause to save the city, as they print about Spider-Man's return. Eventually Jonah is captured by the Reign and brought to the mayor's office, where he confirms his suspicions, finding out that Venom is behind the WEBB project as a means of trapping the citizens of New York, so that they can be fed on by itself and other symbiotes. After Spider-Man defeats Venom, and destroys the WEBB, Jonah is seen on television proclaiming that freedom has returned to the city.
In the alternate universe of Marvel Zombies, Jameson is eaten by the zombified Spider-Man in his own office, when Zombie Spider-Man confronts him. In Marvel Zombies, it proves that he was right about Spider-Man being a menace. This after Spider-Man remarks he was "going to enjoy this part." [67]
In Spider-Man Noir, Jameson remains the owner of the Daily Bugle. However, he's seemingly under the thumb of Norman Osborn, the "Goblin" and kills Ben Urich to prevent him from publishing evidence against Goblin. It is soon revealed that this was in fact the Chameleon, who abducted Jameson for the Goblin. Jonah was saved by Spider-Man from being eaten by Kraven's Siberian tiger.[68]
Issue #1 of Spider-Man: Fairy Tales follows the fairy tale of Little Red Riding Hood. Mary Jane takes the part of Little Red Riding Hood, and Peter is one of the woodsmen. Jameson is the leader of the woodsmen, who also include Osborn and Flash Thompson.
In Ultimate Spider-Man and Ultimate Comics: Spider-Man, Jameson is essentially the same character as the original version, although younger in appearance. Jameson decries Spider-Man and other vigilantes, accusing them of being fraudulent hero figures in contrast to his astronaut son, who was killed during a mission. While Jameson does not necessarily hate Spider-Man, he has no qualms about painting him in a negative light to sell papers. And despite his adverse attitude towards Spider-Man, this version of Jonah still ends up unwittingly hiring Peter Parker to work at the Daily Bugle as its webmaster.[volume & issue needed] During the "Ultimatum" storyline, Jameson drops his vendetta against Spider-Man after losing his wife in a massive flood that engulfs Manhattan and later witnessing Spider-Man rescuing other flood victims. Feeling ashamed and regretful of his smear campaign, Jameson vows to dedicate his life towards portraying Spider-Man as the hero he really is, and begins by publishing several pro-Spider-Man stories Ben Urich held onto.[volume & issue needed] Subsequently, Jameson deduces Spider-Man's true identity, but following the trauma of being kidnapped, along with Spider-Man, by the Chameleons, and being shot in the head, Jameson comes to believe that it is his God-given duty to protect and aid Spider-Man.[69] After the death of Peter Parker, and the assumption of his mantle by the second Spider-Man, Miles Morales,[70] Jameson, when told by investigative reporter Betty Brant that she has discovered his secret identity (though she incorrectly concludes that Morales' father, Jefferson Davis, is Spider-Man), Jameson refuses to publish her theory, explaining that doing so would not illuminate any truth for the benefit of readers, but would only ruin a family's life and deprive the city of another hero.[71]
J. Jonah Jameson appeared in various issues of What If?, which imagines changes to Marvel continuity during crucial points in history. In issue #82 of the second volume ponders history had Jameson adopted Parker. While this version of Jonah is actually more supportive of Peter, he still harbors his hatred of Spider-Man, until he has a change of heart.[72] In another issue that imagines history had Parker's uncle, Ben Parker, not died as a result of Parker's initial lack of responsibility, Spider-Man becomes a successful and entertainer, and uses his wealth and influence to shut down Jameson's paper and ruin his life. Jameson in turn becomes a criminal who organizes the Sinister Six to get revenge on Spider-Man.[volume & issue needed]
J. Jonah Jameson has been a regular character in almost all adaptations of Spider-Man:
In the Spider-Man movies directed by Sam Raimi, J. Jonah Jameson is portrayed by J.K. Simmons, and serves as a major source of comic relief. Portrayed as a blustering, bombastic man, the movie version of Jameson retains his dislike for Spider-Man, and takes delight in anything that might discredit or defame him. This portrayal has been extremely well received by fans of the original comics. Stan Lee has said that, assuming the film was made earlier than 2002, he would have liked to have portrayed Jameson in a live-action Spider-Man film, but he has warmly praised Simmons's rendition. In the films, he has a Pencil moustache, unlike in the comics, where he has a toothbrush moustache.
In the first film Spider-Man, Jameson describes him as a menace and a vigilante, and points out, "Then why does he wear a mask? Huh? What's he got to hide?" Indeed, the only reason he develops an interest in publishing news on the hero is because it sells papers, and upon hearing that no one has been able to get a clear shot of him, he declares, "He doesn't want to be famous? Then I'll make him infamous!" He also retains much of his cynical, avuncular attitude and brusque manner with his staff, though he willingly protects Peter Parker when the Green Goblin demands to know the identity of Spider-Man's photographer. When Peter accuses him of slandering Spider-Man, Jameson says, "I resent that! Slander is spoken. In print, it's libel." He holds the dubious honor of providing the nicknames (wanting his staff to immediately trademark the name) for the central villains in both of the first two films: the Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus. In each film his office is rearranged and relocated; only the first movie offers an explicit reason for this, as in that film it is partially destroyed by the Green Goblin. A greedy man who demands much of his employees, Jameson is reminiscent of a fast-talking 1940s film character in many ways.
Throughout the second film Spider-Man 2, Jameson is shown to know that Spider-Man is a hero, but is too proud to admit it. He even goes so far as to admit it when crime and danger skyrocket and his son's fiancée, Mary Jane Watson, is kidnapped after Spider-Man temporarily disappears; true to form, he recants almost immediately and becomes infuriated with the web-slinger once again when Spider-Man steals back his costume from the Bugle to confront the rampaging Doctor Octopus. The DVD-only Spider-Man 2.1 extended cut of the film contains a short scene in which Jameson dons the Spider-Man suit and romps around on his desk, while Robbie Robertson, Betty Brant, and Hoffman watch in a mix of surprise and confusion. The filmmakers cut the scene from the theatrical release because Simmons didn't fit their original image of a paunchy middle-aged man; instead, he fills out the costume fairly well. Mrs. Jameson is alive and well in the movies, being mentioned in the first and third movies and seen in the second. References to her are usually relayed as a foil to Jameson's miserly ways; when informed by his secretary his wife had lost his checkbook, he replies "Thanks for the good news." At the wedding of his son John Jameson and Mary Jane Watson in the second film, once it becomes clear that the bride had left the groom at the altar, the first thing Jameson does is tell his wife to call the wedding caterer and "tell her not to open the caviar" after having evidently lost an earlier argument where he did not wish to buy caviar at all.
In Spider-Man 3, Jameson sets Eddie Brock and Peter Parker up as rivals to earn a staff job, instructing them to obtain unflattering pictures of Spider-Man. He is shown to supposedly have many medical conditions, being warned by Miss Brant (who was informed by Jameson's wife) whenever he is too tense or when he needs to take his pills. Specifically, it is revealed that he has high blood pressure, and Miss Brant must always remind him to watch his temper. Later, Jameson fires Brock for doctoring and selling fake photos of Spider-Man robbing a bank, in spite of his dislike of the hero, as Brock's photo destroyed his paper's reputation, which has not printed a retraction in 20 years. He is surprised by Parker's new confident and aggressive demeanor, provoked by the black suit, especially when he finds him and Miss Brant flirting on his desk, exclaiming "Miss Brant, that's not the position I hired you for". At the climactic battle between Spider-Man, New Goblin, Sandman and Venom, Jameson, unable to locate Parker, bargains with a little girl in the crowd to obtain her camera to shoot the battle himself. She refuses to sell for less than a hundred dollars. After the stingy Jameson reluctantly pays, he discovers that there is no film in the camera, to which she explains, "The film's extra," much to his fury.
J. Jonah Jameson is referenced in The Amazing Spider-Man 2, he is mentioned on several occasions and it is established that Peter Parker is working for him by providing him with photographs of Spider-Man, and that Jameson is still slandering him. At one point, Peter emails Jameson to ask him to take it easy on Spider-Man, but Jameson immediately responds with a refusal.
J. Jonah Jameson has appeared in many of the Spider-Man video games, usually as a supporting character:
In The Simpsons episode "Moe'N'a Lisa", which aired on November 19, 2006, J.K. Simmons guest stars, playing a publisher resembling J. Jonah Jameson in the Spider-Man movies. This resemblance is made more apparent when he demands pictures, stories, and even poems about Spider-Man. He even repeats a line from Spider-Man 3: "What are you waiting for? Chinese New Year?" This is due in part to guest star Michael Chabon's script work on Spider-Man 2.[76] A similar character, also voiced by Simmons, appears later in the same season as the publisher of The Springfield Inquisitor in the episode "Homerazzi".
In the Spider-Man 2 parody on VH1's ILL-Ustrated, j. Jonah Jameson is portrayed as a Dr. Dre look-alike.
A parody of J. Jonah Jameson mostly based on J.K. Simmons's performance appears in Superhero Movie. This parody is a mental patient from the hospital that the newspaper company shares with, yelling that hamburgers can tell the future.
Rob Zicari portrays the character in the 2011 pornographic spoof Spider-Man XXX: A Porn Parody and its sequel Superman vs. Spider-Man XXX: An Axel Braun Parody.
Reference is made to Jameson in the novelization of the Fantastic Four movie, although the character is not expressly named as Jameson; after they have saved the people on a bridge, Mr. Fantastic is shown on numerous television channels talking about the Fantastic Four, and recognizes a man with a small mustache (accompanied by a headline FANTASTIC FOUR: HEROES OR MENACE) as the owner of a major newspaper. Jameson is also featured in the 1978 novel Mayhem in Manhattan, written by Len Wein and Marv Wolfman.
Michael Mulheren plays J. Jonah Jameson in the Broadway musical Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark.[77]

Ocular traumas -- eye injuries that requires treatment in an emergency room, urgent care center, or doctor's office -- are a leading cause of visual loss for younger people.
Penetrating ocular trauma is an injury caused by a sharp object piercing the eye -- such as a knife, stone, or wood -- or from a BB or similar high-speed object, in which the object enters the eye and causes damage to the structures it comes in contact with.
Perforating ocular injuries are those in which the foreign object enters the eye at one point and exits the eye at another point.
In both types of ocular injury patients are at risk of blindness, and should be treated by an eye professional as soon as possible. Injuries associated with ocular trauma include traumatic cataract or lens dislocation, retinal detachment, choroidal rupture, corneal and conjunctival laceration, glaucoma, and scleral rupture.
It is important not to rub your eye that has suffered the trauma. You should also minimize movement of the injured eye to prevent additional damage until examined.
Ocular trauma can often be avoided by wearing protective eye wear.
Duke Eye Center treats a variety of ocular traumas at locations near Durham, Raleigh, Cary, and other areas of North Carolina. Call 919-681-3937 for an appointment.

There was a line once from a TV commercial that went, "If you want to capture someone's attention, whisper." Such a method may not work on the Internet.
Save Forums
I was curious to find where the new generation of search engine marketers and website designers are these days. I also wanted to know if the talented and skilled among the new folks were helping out the industry by passing along accurate information. I asked because this was how we used to do things. Chat groups, usenet, forums and email lists were how I learned and where I gave back. It was fun meeting meeting people and watching them build their brand and businesses.
A large number of people from the first generation of search engine promotion days remain out in force. These are the folks who were there when new search engines and directories were being launched so often we needed charts and diagrams to keep up with them. Each one had its own algorithm or human editors. They started out free. Today, there are 3 mainstream search engines that need very little help finding web pages and directories exist for any goal or niche. Sadly, some people continue to charge unsuspecting companies to submit sites to fee-based directories that have nothing to do with their product or service.
Where would a site owner go to get accurate, practical, authentic information on web site marketing? Who do they turn to? Who has their best interests in mind? And more important to me, does the thrust of the credible education still come from the pioneers and GenTwo? If the tradition of mentoring and freely sharing advice is continuing, where is it being done?
The answers are all over the place. One takeaway was learning that forums such as the one I own are dying out due to the incredible impact of spam and lack of quality advice. In addition, the medium itself is considered too old. Today's web site generation rely on social networking sites and blogs for their education and interaction.
Another takeaway lies in the business model. Free advice may not be considered quality advice. Anyone can write a blog post and submit it somewhere. There is less attention to good writing, backing up statements with facts, resources or studies. Sphinn took a dive because the content submitted was either poorly written or intended only to promote a business, service or person. They're working hard over there to turn that all around.
Many blogs are produced as part of a business. For that model, the content must be quality and correct because the reputation of the business depends on it. Paid bloggers and sites that pay for their content may attract more traffic than a forums where you're never sure if you're getting the right kind of information. Subscription-based forums have the incentive to provide professional content too.
"We will be known forever by the tracks we leave." Dakota saying.
Should any industry be responsible for passing along the baton to future generations? Some people don't think it matters. Others have experienced what happens when the education is corrupted. For example, the story I was told about someone in a high paying IT position whose company downsized and let go of most of its employees, only to start replacing some of them with cheaper labor. Assigned to work on a project with one such new employee, it was soon obvious the new person was in trouble. When asked where he learned his skills he replied, "I learned from Google."
Forums or Blogs?
However without a steady influx of new members a forum will stagnate and die.
Some people say a forums should adapt with the times by getting on Twitter, Facebook, getting a blog, starting a Linkedin Group. Cre8asiteforums has already done this, with the exception of being on Facebook. None of that increased traffic.
We weed out the spam and because of the industry well-knowns, who are either moderators or regular contributors, the content is more likely to be accurate.
But that hasn't attracted a steady stream of new members. With today's forums and the volume of information inside them, someone can join and learn but never participate. They don't give back to the community or even let the community know they exist at all.
That's the part that has changed from the old days. There are new places and new ways to make an impression on the Internet.
Web Design That Makes an Impact
Unless a web design relies on Flash and is packed with vivid images, we as web users find most sites to be boring to look at. What separates the truly talented web designer from the template driven or less experienced ones are those who want to make a human connection with each web site visitor. I've seen online forms that make me feel as though someone is standing next to me with words of encouragement and even humor.
Human computer interaction is one of my passions. I write it about it for SearchEngineLand. Today, Information Behavior and Mental Models was published.
How often do you have a happy, fun, relaxing and utterly satisfying experience while browsing an online retail web site? Do web site designers know or even care what puts us in the zone? What does it feel like to be a captivated web user?
I hope the article inspires you.

text: How To Make Prison Hooch Well, what can I say. This is exactly what it sounds like. This is a recipe for an alcoholic beverage that is supposedly made in prison. So yes, you too can brew your own beer(sort of)with little to no monitary investment. This is a handy skill to have if you're for example a raging alcoholic and in a financial bind or just wanna cop a cheap buzz. I have made and drank this stuff before, so not to worry, if you follow the directions and use some common sense, you won't die. But just for safety sake, I take no responsibility for your own dumb ass. If you get sick it's on you. Drink at your own risk. I absolve myself of any guilt. With that being said, drink up and ENJOY!!!! Materials! A Gallon JugA 3 Pack Of YeastEnough Juice Concentrate For 2 Gal.(In A Pinch) 2 Gal. Worth Of Kool Aid (In A Pinch) 2 Gal. WOrth Of Sugar (For Kool Aid) Optional: A Big Balloon How Do It! Well, the instructions are pretty easy.1. Mix up half of the double strong juice in jug. (Having the jug only half full helps to mix in yeast)2. Add all 3 yeast packets, or you can just guesstimate (it was never made clear to me how much yeast to use. The exact quote is, "As much yeast as you can get your hands on.")3. SHAKE!!!! 4. When yeast is dissolved add in the rest of the juice concentrate. 5. Top off with water 6. Mix up one final time 7. Let set 3-4 days (WITH CAP OFF!!!!!) That's it! Notes! -If for some reason you are so dirt poor that you can't afford juice concentrate, you can use Kool Aid. Just make it twice as strong, like the juice. I really recommend not using Kool Aid though, it makes weaker booze and doesn't taste as good.-Try to not have the acidity of your juice too high when you add the yeast. The few times that my hooch didn't ferment, I'm pretty sure it's because the high acid content killed the yeast. -Also when shaking the yeast/juice mix be careful not to shake it too much, as your yeast can die. Kinda like Sea-Monkeys. -Your hooch should be ready in 3-4 days. Just don't let it set so long that it spoils. -If you get antsy and drink it too soon. Be forwarned that God will let you know that you just did a no-no. You'll probably get a wicked stomach ache. Don't worry, you're not dying. It'll pass in a few minutes. -I would recommend storing your hooch, during the fermentation process, in a place that you don't mind getting messy. During the fermentation process the mix tends to bubble up and this can cause problems. -Yes, the hooch has a very powerful alcohol smell. DUH! So, if you're planning on being sneaky about this. Brewing in the bedroom is not a good idea. Unless you wanna explain to Mom why your room suddenly smells like Dad on the Fourth of July. -A balloon can be a handy tool to tell when you hooch is done. Simply slip the balloon over the mouth of the jug. If it fills up with gas, the hooch isn't ready. I'd suggest leaving it on the jug for about 15 min. to really tell. -At the end of the fermentation process you will notice some sediment in the bottom of the jug. No worries, this is normal. It won't hurt you to drink it, but it tastes like shit. You can filter if off with a piece of cloth, panty hose, coffee filter, etc. Or you can just be carful not to drink it.

Support Your Park
Monetary Donations The Tule Lake Unit of the WWII Valor in the Pacific National Monument was recently designated as a new National Park. However, it will not be included in the federal budget cycle or have its own operating budget until 2011, at the earliest. In the meantime, we have started seasonal park operations with a nominal amount of National Park Service (NPS) reserve funds. During these early years, donations can be very helpful to augment the NPS funds and accelerate the establishment of the new park. Monetary donations are tax deductable. If you wish to make a monetary donation to support the Tule Lake Unit, you may send a check made out to the National Park Service. If you wish your donation to be restricted to a particular purpose, please include with your check a note specifying that purpose. Our mailing address is: P.O. Box 1240, Tulelake, California, 96134. If you have further questions or ideas for contributions, please contact the Superintendent, Mike Reynolds, via email at email@example.com or via phone at 530-667-8101. Oral History Interviews To capture as many memories as possible from those who were incarcerated or those who worked on or around the Segregation Center and at Camp Tulelake, the NPS and several other groups are collecting oral interview histories. If you have memories you would like to share and document or if you know of someone with particularly interesting knowledge and memories, please contact us. While our capacity to conduct interviews is limited, we may be able to put you in touch with another group that could conduct an interview. Historic Documents, Photos and Objects Storage capacity for the archiving of curatorial objects is being added, that will enable us to accept historic papers, photos and objects that relate to the Tule Lake Segregation Center and at Camp Tulelake. You will also have the option to allow the NPS to copy your papers, photos or objects so that the historic content and significance can be shared. If you have objects you would allow to be copied or would like to donate, please contact the Superintendent via email at e-mail us, or via phone at 530-667-8101. Volunteering If you are interested in or have questions about volunteering at the Tule Lake Unit of WWII Valor in the Pacific National Monument, please contact volunteer manager, Angela Sutton at (530) 260-0537 or (530) 667-8119 or e-mail us. To view more NPS volunteer opportunities, go to www.nps.gov/volunteer or www.volunteer.gov/gov Tule Lake Commitee The Tule Lake Committee The Tule Lake Committee was organized to ensure that the unjust wartime incarceration of persons of Japanese ancestry would not happen to another group, and, to that end, has worked to preserve the Segregation Center Site and its resources for future generations. Since 1974, the Committee has organized 19 pilgrimages to educate participants and the public at large. The Tule Lake Committee accepts donations to assist some attendees with scholarships. NPS Photo Grant Funds Matched The Tule Lake Committee completed fundraising for two matching grants to preserve historic Segregation Center buildings. The following grant programs required the Tule Lake Committee to raise non-federal matching funds, a challenge that was met with the help of two California State grant programs. Save America's Treasures grant (SAT) for the preservation and restoration of the Segregation Center Carpenter's Shop. Thanks to the generosity of the California Cultural and Historical Endowment and the California Civil Liberties Public Education Program, and the generosity of individual donors, fundraising for the $197,058 SAT grant match was completed September 2010. The mitigation and restoration work on this historic structure within the National Historic Landmark area is scheduled for completion by the end of 2012. Japanese American Confinement Sites (JACS) program granted funds to the Tule Lake Committee to complete a Historic Structures Analysis and Report for the infamous Segregation Center stockade jail building. The Tule Lake Committee received matching funds from the State Library's California Civil Liberties Public Education Program for $20,000, to match the $40,000 grant from the Japanese American Confinement Sites grant program. Once the mandatory Historic Structures Report is completed, mitigation and restoration of the jail structure can begin. Over the next several years, the NPS will be working with the Tule Lake Committee and other interested community organizations and individuals to raise funds to enable restoration work on the iconic stockade jail to proceed. |

Magnetic Declination at Akron, Ohio
Name: N/A Status: N/A Age: N/A Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: N/A
According to Trinklein in somewhere around Akron, Ohio the magnetic declination is 0 . Also according to Trinklein the magnetic north pole is at 100 longitude (& 73 latitude) which, according to my globe makes Topeka, Kansas the point with 0 declination, not Akron... Any insights? Thanks
The earth's magnetic field is not a perfect dipole... far from it, in fact: there are many deviations due to localized concentrations of ferro-magnetic ores in the earth's crust, for example.
John Hawley
Earth's magnetic field is constantly changing, both in space (geographically) and in time. The current (2003) declination for Akron, OH is about 8 degrees west of north (based on the International Geomagnetic Reference Field, 2000 http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/). Because the field is constantly changing, the "0 degree line" and the location of the north and south geomagnetic poles also change. Currently, the 0 declination line runs roughly from New Orleans through Duluth, MN up through Churchill in Canada. The current approximate location of the north and south magnetic poles (surveyed) are 78.5 N, 103.4 W near Ellef Ringnes Island and 65 S, 139 E in Commonwealth Bay.

Legislative power is vested in a General Assembly, which consists of a House
of Representatives and a Senate. The General Assembly has the authority to enact
laws, appropriate funds and levy taxes. Additional powers of the legislature
include the proposal of constitutional amendments, the impeachment of public
officials, investigatory authority, and the confirmation of certain executive
appointments. The first State General Assembly was a unicameral body established
under the Constitution of 1776. It was given vast powers which enabled it to
dominate the other two branches of state government. This imbalance was corrected
with the adoption of subsequent constitutions, beginning with the Constitution
of 1790, which created a bicameral assembly and a popularly elected governor.
For additional materials, see Records
of the Legislative Reference Bureau (RG-36), a legislative service agency
under the auspices of the General Assembly.

Delonte West says he helped give birth to a baby cheetah
03/27/2012 at 7:49 am By Anthony Ramsey
Delonte West might be the most interesting person in the NBA. West has had his share of strange incidents; from the rumors that he had relations with Gloria James (LeBron's mom) to catching a weapons charge for carrying a guitar case full of guns to sleeping in the locker room because he couldn't get approved for an apartment in Dallas.
Apparently Delonte has a way with animals as well. West and teammate Lamar Odom recently visited the Dallas Zoo with a group of Dallas area students recently, where Delonte got the chance to get in touch with his animal instincts:
"Well, I think they noticed as soon as I came into the zoo my natural animal instinct, you know what I mean?" Delonte said, speaking of the actual animals. "I got a chance to eat with the lions, you know? They had Lamar playing with the penguins, but they needed me for the more animalistic-type of things, carnivore-type of things. So, I also had a chance to give birth to a baby cheetah today and I'm just overwhelmed with the experience to be amongst my own and my peers."
West, who grew up in Washington D.C., was asked if he spent much time at the zoo as a youngster.
"I just ran out in the woods, whatever I could find take it home as a pet," West said, again stretching the boundaries of fact into pure fiction. "I had a pet raccoon once. No, I took my few field trips to the zoo, but like I said, I think we're getting ready to go see some of the lions and gorillas, my own kind and hopefully we can have a nice bonding experience and they will accept me as the pack leader."
Someone needs to get Delonte West a reality TV show as soon as possible. Any man who can produce Youtube gems like this one needs to have a camera crew following him as much as possible. It would probably be more entertaining than Odom's and his famous wife's show, right?

LAFAYETTE - Non-conference games in Cajun Field against in-state opponents Southern and Louisiana Tech, non-conference road contests against Ole Miss and Boise State, plus a challenging Sun Belt Conference schedule that features a pair of nationally-televised games highlight the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns 2014 football schedule which was released on Saturday.
Louisiana, the defending Sun Belt Conference champion, will play six games at Cajun Field, including dates against league opponents Georgia State (Oct. 4), Arkansas State (Oct. 21), South Alabama (Nov. 1) and newcomer Appalachian State (Nov. 22).
"We are excited to host six quality home games this season at Cajun Field, which will create a tremendous college football atmosphere for our fans," Louisiana Director of Athletics Scott Farmer said. "Our non-conference home schedule features two tremendous in-state programs in Southern and Louisiana Tech, and our games at Ole Miss and Boise State will provide us with the opportunity to play against some of the top teams in college football while continuing to grow a national following.
"With our program playing at least three games on national television, including a mid-week game at Cajun Field, our program which has continued to progress under the successful leadership of Coach (Mark) Hudspeth, our University and our city will be able to reach millions of homes across the country."
The Ragin' Cajuns, who earned their third-straight nine-win season that was capped by a 24-21 victory over Tulane in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, are scheduled to make three appearances on national television this season including games at Ole Miss (SEC Network), plus consecutive ESPN2 contests at Texas State (Oct. 14) and against at Cajun Field against Arkansas State (Oct. 21).
"I think it's great for our fans to have two home games right out of the blocks, and I think that will create a lot of excitement," head coach Mark Hudspeth said. "Having six home games this season is another big boost. With five Saturday games and a nationally-televised Tuesday night contest, we will get a chance to showcase our University and our great city. It will be a great schedule and it will be a lot of fun for our fans."
The Cajuns will open the season on Aug. 30 when it hosts FCS opponent Southern University in the 14th annual Herbert Heymann Classic. The meeting will be the second on the gridiron between the schools and the first since 2009 when a Cajun Field-record 41,357 fans witnessed a 42-19 Louisiana victory.
After facing one in-state opponent to open the season, the Cajuns will face a second the following week when it hosts Louisiana Tech on Sept. 6. The meeting against Tech - the 80th in a series that dates back to 1910 - will be the first between the schools since 2004 with the Bulldogs making their first trip to Cajun Field since 2003.
Back-to-back road games at Ole Miss (Sept. 13) and Boise State (Sept. 20) close out the non-conference schedule with the Cajuns opening Sun Belt Conference play on Oct 4 at home against Georgia State.
The game against the Rebels, who finished 8-5 that included a win in the Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl, will mark the fourth meeting between the schools and the first since 2010. The game will also mark the first trip for Hudspeth, a native of Louisville, Miss., to his native state as a Division I head coach.
"That'll be fun, heading back to my home state and playing an outstanding team in Ole Miss and competing against the SEC," Hudspeth said. "And facing one of the top non-BCS programs in the country in Boise State will be a great measuring stick for our program in determining how far we've come and how far we have to go."
The Cajuns will begin defense of their Sun Belt title on Oct. 4 when they play host to Georgia State before playing the first of consecutive Tuesday night contests on Oct. 14 at Texas State. Louisiana earned victories against both teams in the first-ever matchup between the schools, defeating GSU on the road, 35-28, and posting a 49-28 win at home over the Bobcats.
Louisiana will return to play its final Tuesday night game of the season on Oct. 21 when it faces Arkansas State at Cajun Field. The game will mark the second consecutive Tuesday night game between the schools with the Cajuns earning a 23-7 victory in last year's nationally-televised contest.
The Cajuns will play five games in the month of November, beginning Nov. 1 at home against South Alabama and capped by a Nov. 29 contest at Troy. Louisiana will play consecutive road games at New Mexico State (Nov. 8) and ULM (Nov. 15) before closing out its home schedule on Nov. 22 against Appalachian State.
"We feel like we have a veteran team returning, beginning with our starting quarterback (Terrance Broadway)," Hudspeth said. "I like the direction that we're heading and we're looking forward to spring football as we start putting it all together for another great season.
"Once our season ticket campaign kicks off, I'm really going to count on our fans to make this one of the biggest campaigns we've ever had."
The 2014 Spring Game will be held on Saturday, April 12 at 12 p.m., at Cajun Field.
• Louisiana will open its 113th season of intercollegiate football with a 508-524-34 record. The Cajuns earned their 500th victory in school history with a 70-7 win over Nicholls State on Sept. 14, 2013.
• Louisiana is one of six schools nationally to have won a bowl/postseason game in each of the past three seasons. The Cajuns, with three victories in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, are part of a list that includes Florida State (Champs Sports, Orange, BCS National Championship), Michigan State (Outback, Buffalo Wild Wings, Rose), Oregon (Rose, Fiesta, Alamo), South Carolina (Capitol One, Outback, Capitol One) and Texas A&M (Meinke Car Care, Cotton, Chick-Fil-A).
• The Cajuns will face three teams (Ole Miss - Music City, Boise State - Hawai'I and Arkansas State - GoDaddy) that competed in bowl games during the 2013 season.
• Louisiana has posted a 14-2 record at Cajun Field in the last three seasons under head coach Mark Hudspeth, going 5-0 in 2011, 5-1 in 2012 and 4-1 in 2013.
• With the additions of New Mexico State, Appalachian State, Georgia Southern and Idaho to the Sun Belt Conference for the 2014 season, the Cajuns will play eight league games after playing seven SBC contests in 2013.
• The Aug. 30 season-opener against Southern will mark the fourth time in school history the Ragin' Cajuns will equal their earliest starting date. The Cajuns opened on Aug. 30 against Pitt (1997), South Carolina (2003) and Southern Miss (2008).
• The Cajuns will face a pair of first-time opponents in 2014 - Boise State (Sept. 20) and Appalachian State (Nov. 22).

Adam Baldwin (L) & Nick Searcy (R) |
What began as an article on New Now Next has blossomed into a full-scale Twitter meltdown for former Firefly alum (as well as current anti-gay conservative and cast member of TNT's The Last Ship) Adam Baldwin. And in the process he dragged acquaintance Nick Searcy from FX's Justified into the fray as they both spent the better part of their Saturday afternoon and evening trolling my twitter account over an off-the-cuff commentary tweet on anti-gay remarks initially made by Baldwin.
As a side note, while I normally wouldn't contact someone's employer to report anti-LGBT behavior on Twitter, having a public, influential role such as actor or politician is different (in my opinion). If you're being paid enough to influence thousands - if not millions - of people with your opinion, and if you rely on your public image and clout to maintain that work, you can't cry foul when someone holds you accountable for your publicly spoken or written words.
Edit to add as of February 22, 2014:
Later in the evening, Nick Searcy's tweets took a decidedly negative turn toward an anti-weight, fat-shaming tone so I first attempted to step away from the debate and ask him to get help, and then completely disengaged from conversation. Neither worked, as you'll see in the tweets below. Fat-shaming is never okay.
Edit to add #2 as of February 23, 2014 @ 11:30pm ET:
To address a question/criticism that seems to be rampant on social media boards at the moment: this article was written after the fact. Several people have insinuated that I "set up" their conservative actor hero(es) for pageviews.
To that all I have to say is this: I never intended to make this a big deal (otherwise my initial tweet wouldn't have been as snarky and hashtagged as such). Baldwin didn't have to respond - and when he did respond (and called in Searcy), they didn't have to be belligerent in their conversation and tone. I didn't set out to make these actors look like wingnuts; they did it fine all by themselves. I merely aggregated the tweets after the conversation was (mostly) over and posted them here since I think the world deserves to know what these two actors really believe.
Responding to their attacks doesn't make me disgusting, doesn't make me 'as culpable,' or any other combination of absurdity I've heard since this began. It makes me a random blogger in Boston who spoke out against a ridiculous marriage equality comparison. It makes me that same blogger who suddenly became the target of two ultra-conservative D-list celebrities and their poorly-phrased, playground-level insults that reflected more on their personalities than anything.
And just so we're clear, my take on the conversation (though it touched on being overly offensive at times) never truly veered too far off the "it's insanely ridiculous that this is happening" mindset. In fact, I said (in part) on Facebook of the incident as it was happening, "I think it's hilarious that they're both spending their Saturday night on Twitter trolling a random guy in Boston for saying something about Adam Baldwin on Twitter."
Update #3 as of February 25, 2014 at 11am ET:
We've been cited by a few notable national publications like HuffPo, Jezebel, and The Escapist. Thanks for that! One consistent question I've received that seems to keep cropping up (other than the questions addressed in the last update) is the fact that I used the hashtag #idiot in my initial tweet to Baldwin.
Though I addressed this briefly above, I think it deserves more than a one sentence throwaway. I never expected Baldwin to respond. Honestly. Had I truly thought my comment would spark a (ahem) conversation, I probably would've been more diplomatic. Alas, we don't always get to choose what goes viral, and in this instance, all I can do is choose how I react to the aftermath of the situation.
Furthermore, I hashtagged it as such for a reason: mainly, making that sort of comparison - even if it was in a non-sexual sense - was idiotic. Using that same logic mothers and sons/fathers and daughters would currently be getting married if that was such a concern. But it's not; it's an irrelevant distraction and Baldwin is smart enough to realize that.
While harsh language isn't always the most PC way of making a point, sometimes it's the most efficient. And in this case, it highlighted the egregious opinions of two celebrities that apparently enjoy bullying others online. [And on that note, as of today - Day 4 - both men (Searcy in particular) are still copying me on belligerent tweets.]
Update as of March 5, 2014 at 2:00pm ET:
It appears as if Adam Baldwin has been doing some house cleaning - that is, he's scrubbed many of the more heinous tweets from his Twitter account after he believed this all died down. I'm not the only one who's noticed either Chez Pazienza at The Daily Banter wrote a follow up article on a similar encounter he had with Baldwin that ended with similar results. He said in part:
"What followed that were a hell of a lot of iterations of the word "lie" from him directed at me (with one tweet wondering whether I was fired from CNN for lying). I'd put them up here, but as a follower of his told me as the Twitter feud broadened out, he has a habit of "cleaning" his feed every so often, which is certainly his right but it makes it difficult to actually track what he says. It's easy for somebody to say you're lying about him when there's no way to prove what he actually said and you're forced to just trust him or his followers on his intent."Also, for the record, I'm not fat. I do believe fat-shaming is wrong regardless of body size, but apparently by Hollywood standards my 34" waist makes me Shamu. Thankfully, by Boston standards, it just means I need another cheeseburger.
[The title of this article has been modified to more accurately reflect the full culmination of events and conversation.]

Start - Make Vim as Your Bash-IDE Using bash-support Plugin - Pentadactyl. This post is written by SathiyaMoorthy.
This article is part of the ongoing Vi / Vim Tips and Tricks Series. As a Linux sysadmin or programmer, you may do following repetitive tasks while coding bash shell script: Adding file header Adding function/frame comment Including default code snippet Performing syntax check Reading documentation about a function Converting a code block to comment, and vice versa The bash-Support Vim plugin offers easiest way to do all of the above, saving lot of time and keystrokes. Start - Have Intellisense search current directory - Vim Tips Wiki - Pentadactyl. This tip is relevant to those who use the "Intellisense" functionality for vim ( for C++.
This requires, as a part of its setup, that the paths for all the included header files in a C++ file be present in the $INCLUDE variable. This is fine so long as all your header files are in one (invariant) location (say the MSVC's include directory). However, if your C++ file includes header files in locations relative to the current file, updating the INCLUDE environment variable is not an option. Start - Omni completion - Vim Tips Wiki - Pentadactyl. Omni completion provides smart autocompletion for programs.
When invoked, the text before the cursor is inspected to guess what might follow. A popup menu offers word completion choices that may include struct and class members, system functions, and more. Start - Su-write - Vim Tips Wiki - Pentadactyl. Sometimes you modify a file, for example from the /etc directory, then when you try to save the file, you get a permission-denied error.
This tip presents some suggestions for using sudo from with Vim, so you can successfullly write the file with temporary privileges. Of course, this tip has to be used with caution, as it gets you more power. Suggestion 1 Edit.
