text: The Ninjabread Man wiki last edited by Deathawk on 07/21/13 06:15AM View full history OverviewNinjabread Man is a platformer that was originally released only in the PAL region on PlayStation 2 in 2005, but later was ported to the Wii, which came to North America. This game has become somewhat infamous for it's controls, design and looping that Data Design Interactive has used several times before and after this game.GameplayNinjabread Man is set in the land of Sweetworld, a beautiful land mand out of yummy sweets and biscuits. One day however, evil muffins and gummies decide to invade Sweetworld and the only thing that can stop them is Ninjabread Man, a ninja made out of dessert bread. It should be noted that the game does not actually tell you the premise, the only way to know about Ninjabread Man's epic quest to save Sweetland is to read the back of the game's box.Ninjabread Man, ready for action!The Wii version of the game plays by using the Wii Remote and Nunchuck. You control your ninja with the nunchuck's analogue stick and swing your samurai sword by making a horizontal movement with the remote. Ninjabread Man can also fire gummies which can be done by pointing the remote at the screen and aiming at the enemies. Jumping and double jumping is handled by shaking the nunchuck once for a simple jump and twice for a double. The game has a lock on system and the camera can be controled with the D-pad.In Ninjabread Man, you must complete each stage by finding 8 energy canes to repair a teleporter which will take you to the next stage. Each stage can be completed again in a time attack and score attack mode.LegacyNinja Bread was not reviewed by most traditional outlets such as Gamespot or 1up. Sites that did review the game reported that the game played horribly, with a half baked control scheme and a single player campain that was seemingly incomplete (The game ends after the third level without any explination or ending) The game was also noted for sharing assets with another Data Design published title, Rock N Roll Adventures. Among video game fans Ninja Bread man is often cited as one of the worst Wii games in console's library. EGM would later cite the game in an investigation piece about Nintendo's lack of quality standards for third party Wii games.

NEW YORK — A memorial service will be held Saturday for Joanne Lesko Gindek, a packaging designer who died of liver cancer Monday at her home in Ridgefield, Conn. She was 66.
This story first appeared in the February 21, 2003 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
Gindek, a graduate of New York's Pratt Institute, pursued a career spanning 40 years. After taking her first job with Cheeseborough Ponds, Gindek eventually moved to Elizabeth Arden, where she designed the packaging for the Chloé fragrance, not only sculpting the bottle but also creating the ad visuals.
But Gindek made her biggest mark on beauty during a 30-year tenure at Revlon. She served as vice president of creative for Princess Marcella Borghese, then one of Revlon's prestige brands. She was credited with breaking ground in packaging design by creating multipiece compacts, one of hundreds of individual creations across packaging design, advertising and merchandising displays.
"She was a fine artist and an original thinker," said close friend Mona Monaghan, a 20-year associate who is now executive vice president and general manager of Sally Hansen, a division of Del Laboratories. During the Borghese years, Monaghan worked along with Gindek as senior vice president of marketing.
After leaving Revlon, Gindek began her own consulting firm with Monaghan in 1997 called Marketing Made to Order, where her beauty industry clients ranged from Del to Nordstrom to Chanel. Gindek and Monaghan were partners there. "She was my business partner and my best friend," Monaghan remarked.
Gindek is survived by longtime companion Leslie Rowe. A memorial service has been planned for Saturday at 10:30 a.m. at Hull Funeral Home on 60 Division Street in Danbury, Conn. Flowers can be sent to that address.

Denis Lortie (born March 10, 1959) is a former Canadian Forces corporal. In 1984, he stormed into the National Assembly of Quebec building and opened fire with several firearms, killing three Quebec government employees and wounding 13 others. The National Assembly's Sergeant-at-Arms, René Jalbert, constituted himself hostage and negotiated with Lortie for four hours to convince him to surrender. After a 1985 conviction of first-degree murder was overturned by the Quebec Court of Appeal, Lortie pleaded guilty to reduced charges of second-degree murder in 1987, for which he was convicted to life imprisonment with no parole for ten years. Lortie was granted day parole in 1995, then full parole in 1996, and has since kept a low profile.

Earlier in his life, Lortie had apparently been abused by his tyrannical father, and allegedly had an incestuous relationship with his sister that ended when she became pregnant.[2]
Lortie married in Quebec City on 27 December 1980, and would have two children,[3] and thus shortly after, he was transferred to Halifax.
At the time of the shooting, Lortie was stationed in CFS Carp, near Ottawa, was ranked a Corporal, and worked as a supply technician in the Canadian Forces Logistics Branch.
Lortie was long victim to a speech impediment that caused him to slur his words, which was especially prominent when he tried speaking his native language, English, a language that he had apparently learned incorrectly.[4]
Blaming the governing pro-sovereignty Parti Quebecois for his problems (disliking the party's advocation of a "Francophone identity" for Quebec), he planned a killing spree as a means of broadcasting his discontent.
Prior to the shooting[edit]
On 7 May 1984, Lortie left the CFS Carp military base (better known as the location of a Diefenbunker) pretending that he needed time off to arrange a divorce with his wife. Instead, he rented a car, drove to Quebec City and took a guided tour of the Parliament Building. He then rented a room in a motel on Laurier Boulevard for the night.
Lortie had previously attempted to leave, but was refused. It was during this encounter that Lortie later claimed he saw the face of his father on the face of the officer that denied his request.[5]
The next day, 8 May 1984, at 9:30 a.m., Lortie walked into CJRP radio station in Quebec City, identified himself as "Mr. D", and dropped off a sealed envelope containing an audiotape for one of the station's hosts, André Arthur. He instructed the radio staff not to open the envelope until 10:30 a.m. but they opened it anyway, discovering that it was a statement of Lortie's plans, in which he declared, "The government now in power is going to be destroyed." However, by the time radio staff contacted police, Lortie's plan had already been put into action.
The shooting[edit]
At 9:45 a.m., Lortie entered the Parliament Building through a side door located on Grande-Allée. He was dressed in combat fatigues and armed with two C-1 submachine guns, an Inglis pistol, a duffel bag containing four hundred rounds of 9mm NATO ammunition, as well as a knife strapped to his leg. As he entered the building, he shot and mortally wounded a receptionist, then killed a messenger whom he encountered in a corridor. He then went into a smoking room and shot and wounded a person there before moving to the cafeteria, but finally found his way into the Assembly Chamber, outside of which dozens of armed Sûreté du Québec (SQ), as well as over a dozen Groupe d'Intervention operatives and Quebec City Police (many carrying M2 carbines), helicopters, and snipers were taking position.[6]
Based on later testimony, it is clear that he intended to assassinate Premier René Lévesque and other members of the governing Parti Québécois. His plan was to enter the Assembly Chamber during the parliamentary committee meeting, which was starting at 10:00 that morning. However, instead of using a watch, Lortie timed his attack by listening to CJRP and waited for the station's host, André Arthur, to end his segment. Fortunately, on that day, Arthur ended his broadcast 20 minutes early, leading Lortie to enter the building and make his way to the Assembly Chamber while it was mostly empty. Lortie opened fire on the government employees still inside the Assembly Chamber, killing two and wounding 11 others. No politicians were killed or wounded.
Lortie's surrender[edit]
The National Assembly's Sergeant-at-Arms, René Jalbert, was informed that there was a man in military uniform with a gun in the Assembly Chamber. Upon stepping out of the elevator, Lortie asked him why he came, and fired his C-1 Submachine gun inches from his face.
Jalbert proceeded to inform him that he too had been a soldier with the Van Doos (slang for the Royal 22e Régiment), and that if Lortie would allow it, he would show him his discharge card. Lortie agreed, after which Jalbert persuaded him to show his own identification.
After this exchange, Jalbert persuaded Lortie to come into his office to discuss the matter, and release the other civilians in the Assembly Chamber. Jalbert talked to Lortie for over four hours, ultimately promising him that he would be able to surrender to military police (since he was unwilling to surrender to civilian police). At 2:15 PM, Lortie surrendered to officers of the SQ, Quebec City Police, and the National Assembly security.[7]
For his heroic act which likely prevented further death, the Canadian government awarded Jalbert the Cross of Valour several months later, in the same National Assembly chamber that Lortie burst into.
The following were killed in the shooting:
- Georges Boyer
- Camille Lepage (not to be confused with the late French photojournalist Camille Lepage, who was also the victim of an apparent murder)
- Roger Lefrançois
One of the contributing factors to the shooting was, allegedly, the easy access that Lortie had to both weapons and ammunition. Unlike other non-combat Canadian Forces Bases, CFS Carp, the base at which he was stationed, apparently did not have an armory, or even ammunition lockers.
According to psychiatrist Pierre Mailloux, who was assigned to the case, Lortie suffered from paranoid schizophrenia and had organized his crime during a psychotic episode, believing that he was acting on instructions given to him from God. Nevertheless, in 1985, Lortie was convicted of first-degree murder, but a new trial was ordered when the Quebec Court of Appeal determined the trial judge had made errors while instructing jurors about how they should weigh testimony from psychiatrists heard in the case.
Lortie pleaded guilty to reduced charges of second-degree murder in 1987.[8]
In 1995, Lortie was released on day parole to a halfway house in Hull, Quebec, after being released from a minimum security correctional facility north of Montreal where he had been undergoing psychiatric treatment, classes to deal with aggression, and serving a life sentence with no eligibility for parole for 10 years. According to officials from the Parole Board of Canada, Lortie no longer posed a threat to society, and "patched his life together despite being responsible for one of the most notorious events in Quebec history."
Under the release terms, Lortie was required to spend every night at the halfway house between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. He was also required to let parole board supervisors know where he was at all times, and was restricted to a 40 kilometer (24.8 mile) radius from the house. The relatives of some of Lortie's victims believed he was not punished severely enough, with some believing he should have been executed, a punishment that could not and cannot be applied as Canada abolished its death penalty in 1976.[9]
Granted full parole in July 1996 (the same year Jalbert died of cancer), he has since kept a low profile.
He is last known to have worked at a dépanneur in the Hull-Aylmer district of Quebec,[10] and is now married, with a steady job and a house, and has reportedly been forthcoming with "the people who monitor his case."[11]

Montana Spring Turkey Application Deadline - March 10th
Hunters anxious to prepare for Montana's spring turkey gobbler season in western Montana can obtain an application for the special permit drawing on the Montana Fish, Wildlife & Park's website at fwp.mt.gov . The deadline to apply is March 10.
Spring turkey season begins April 9. Residents must have a 2011 conservation and upland game bird license, and nonresidents will need a conservation license, to purchase a turkey license.
Details on spring turkey hunting in the general hunting areas and special permit areas, and information on how to apply, are available in the 2011 Spring Turkey Hunting Regulations on the FWP website at fwp.mt.gov .
That's one of the few good
Submitted by Ca_Vermonster on Fri, 2011-03-04 13:18.
That's one of the few good things about out here in California, turkey.
We do not need any type of tag to hunt them. All we need is an Upland game Stamp, which allows us to take doves, quail, turkeys, and pheasants.
And we're allowed 3 birds on that one stamp in the spring season.
Of course, always looking to make money, California has discussed introducing a tag system, but we'll see.

Soriano v. St. Mary's Indian Orthodox Church of Rockland
Labor Law
Justice Eileen Rakower
Worker Soriano sought to recover damages for personal injuries he allegedly sustained after he fell from a ladder in the course of his employment with Industrial Door and Glass. He moved for summary judgment on the issue of liability against St. Mary's Indian Orthodox Church on his Labor Law §240 claim. St. Mary's moved for summary judgment dismissal. The court noted the parties did not dispute the ladder gave out and Soriano fell, or that the ladder was unsecured and lacked safety devices as contemplated by §240(1). The issue was whether Soriano's work at the church constituted a protected activity under §240(1). Soriano characterized his work as "repair" of a building, while defendants characterized the work as "routine maintenance" to panes of glass, which was outside the scope of §240(1). The court noted there was no "bright line" rule regarding tasks constituting repair work covered under §240(1), or what activities were deemed to be routine maintenance, which was not covered under §240(1). It ruled that at the time Soriano was injured he was not engaged in work protected and covered under §240(1), but routine maintenance in a non-construction context, granting St. Mary's summary judgment dismissal.

Spatial Differences in Manufacturing Firm Births and Deaths and Local Economic Conditions: Evidence from Pennsylvania
This study uses county-level manufacturing data (1985-1994) from Pennsylvania to investigate the spatial variation of relationships among manufacturing firm births, deaths, and certain local economic variables suggested by the theoretical literature. To do this, a panel data vector autoregressive method is employed, which, unlike the more customary models of studies of this nature, allows for, among other things, full interdependence among all variables and makes adjustment for omitted-variable bias related to "area-specific" effects. The results, which in some cases confirm and in others contradict those of some of the leading studies on the issue, reveal a rich network of interactions among the variables that indicate that firm births and deaths and local economic conditions are mutually driven. The main conclusion drawn from the results is that firm birth rates and, hence, economic growth, are highest in those counties with: (i) a relatively high proportion of small firms; (ii) lower unemployment; (iii) a growing market demand; (iv) a lower-than-average school property tax rate; (v) a higher-than-average quality of public education; and (vi) some urban agglomeration advantages. Some of the implications of the findings for local economic development strategy are considered.

In the NFL, the greatest gift of all is that of a superb quarterback. With the incredible seasons that quarterbacks Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees and Tom Brady are having, it's safe to say that fans of the Green Bay Packers, New Orleans Saints and New England Patriots are very satisfied with their quarterback presents this holiday season.
This time a week ago, I was ready to hand Brees the league MVP after Rodgers' lackluster effort against Kansas City. However, I'm officially recanting my MVP vote, thanks to Rodgers going off (yet again) against another unfortunate victim, the Chicago Bears on Christmas night.
The Packers' quarterback threw a career-high five touchdown passes as Green Bay clinched the NFC's top seed against the Bears. For the season, Rodgers has an unparalleled 45 touchdowns and only six interceptions. He actually has a remote chance of catching Tom Brady's record-setting 50-touchdown season of 2007 if he can repeat his Christmas performance against the Detroit Lions next weekend.
In my mind, the three best seasons from quarterbacks in recent memory are Peyton Manning's 2004 (49 touchdowns), Brady's aforementioned 2007 and Rodgers' 2011. Manning and Brady both won MVP honors for their Herculean efforts; therefore, Rodgers will probably do the same.
Even with that said, maybe we can split that MVP trophy three ways, as both Brees and Brady are having pretty memorable seasons themselves. Barring injury, Brees is destined to break Dan Marino's elusive 1984 passing-yardage record Monday night against the Atlanta Falcons.
That accolade alone makes Brees very worthy of some MVP votes. But if that wasn't enough, Brees and his high-octane offense have the Saints in position to make some major noise (perhaps even Super?) in the playoffs. This will make the free-agent-to-be Brees a very rich man this offseason.
And while Brady won't do it first, it's likely he'll also break Marino's once-elusive record next weekend against the Buffalo Bills. If you're wondering why Brady is deserving of a third MVP title in his Hall of Fame career, consider the fact that—for virtually the entire season—the Patriots have statistically had the league's worst defense, yet New England is one win from locking up the AFC's top seed for a second consecutive season.
Either way, we're splitting hairs here. Whether you're a Pats, Saints or Packers fan, you're resting a bit easier these holidays knowing you have an elite quarterback leading your team to glory on a weekly basis.
Here are some other ramblings from Week 16 in the NFL.

I have a muslin panel that I want to put on the face of a pillow. Did you just pin and stitch? Do you fuse it at all? Just turn under the edges? My muslin panel is a batik panel– I was wondering if I could just top stitch it, but leave the raw edges out, making it look a little more rustic?
Ok….I totally love this project. Even though I don't sew, I think I can do this, but I am not familiar with printing fabric pictures. This is new to me. Do I need a special printer and where do I get the fabric.
Hi, Debbie! You can use your home printer, and the printable fabric is available at craft stores like Jo-Ann. Have fun!

It Is About Love - Poem by Rohit Sapra
A girl loves you
You also love her
If she hurts you, do not hurt her back
As it will only prove that you never loved her.
If she is happy without you and is in peace
Then it is best for you and her.
Many men believe that girls are most unpredictable
Are men not unpredictable?
In fact, men even make fake stories to impress a girl
Though, if you lie to her in the start
You are sure to lose her later.
A girl loves you
You also love her
What does a girl desire from you?
True love and some comfort she basically wants
The moment you stop listening to her heart
From that moment on, she will start drifting away
Maybe she has dreams, try to support her
If that is impossible for you to do, then set her free
By letting her know, you want nothing but her happiness
It is about love, simply true love.

One sided pimples: suggest either a bacterial, as most acne is generally symmetrical to some extent.

Milwaukee Music Video: See Calliope's treatment for 'Miller City Blues'
Should Apple ever decide to resurrect the iconic dancing silhouettes featured in its iPod commercials, Calliope's latest music video would make a strong audition reel.

Dazzling Glinda ensures a bewitching 'Wicked'
Watching Hayley Podschun's captivating Glinda on Thursday night at the Marcus Center, I realized how much this ambitious sorority girl from Oz has in common with the musical in which she co-stars with Elphaba, the future Wicked Witch of the West.
Like the dazzling Glinda, "Wicked" knows how to milk an entrance, fill a room and put on a show. This is the same tour that was here in 2010, and the production values in evidence then continue to impress, from the lavish Edwardian costumes and matching steampunk set to the spectacular lighting design and 14-piece pit orchestra. »Read Full Article
Gaiman's new book a beautiful collision of memory, mortality
If you ask me, I'll tell you that "The Ocean at the End of the Lane" is Neil Gaiman's portrait of the artist as a young man. With this book, Gaiman has crafted an achingly beautiful memoir of an imagination and a spellbinding story that sets three women at the center of everything.
If you ask me, I'll tell you that this is not only a creation myth (of imagination, of a meaningful life, of the universe), but also a wonderful fairy tale with some truly creepy moments. Set in the English countryside of Gaiman's childhood, the story's middle-aged narrator (an artist) flees a family funeral, retreating "toward a house that had not existed for decades." He ends up at the pond at the end of the lane where he first met the Hempstock women (Old Mrs. Hempstock, Ginnie and Lettie), a trinity of females who recall when "the moon was made," who can "snip fragments of time," and who are "not in the fabric of the universe," but "outside of it." »Read Full Article

Venice, Italy — Every two years, this ancient and liquidy city is deluged by the art world, making it seem more unreal than it already is. Curators, collectors, critics and artists cram onto the Venetian islands for a three-day preview of what is effectively the Olympics of art, the Venice Biennale.

A-LEVELS - What do I need?

- Pen or pencil
- Notepad
- Mobile phone
- Calculator (in case you need to add up your module marks)

If you are concerned that you may have to go through Clearing, it's a good idea to pick up a copy of the Telegraph newspaper, as this is the only paper that publishes the full list of Clearing places available.
You will also probably find it easier to browse places in the newspaper rather than searching for them on the UCAS website.

Ready, Steady, Balance: Falls Prevention Day is September 22
The first day of fall is just around the corner, and with it brings the 9th Annual Falls Prevention day.
This year's theme, Ready, Steady, Balance: Prevent Falls in 2016, aims to unite professionals, older adults, caregivers, and family members to play a part in raising awareness and preventing falls in the older adult population. One-third of people 65 and older fall each year, and 20% of those falls cause a serious injury such as head trauma or a fracture. With proper precautions, these falls and accidents are preventable.
CDC Online STEADI Training:
To engage your older patients in interventions to reduce their fall risk, CDC developed the STEADI (Stopping Elderly Accidents, Deaths, and Injuries) Initiative to help providers incorporate fall prevention into clinical practice. CDC created this training to give you the tools you need to make fall risk screening, risk factor assessment, and falls interventions part of your clinical practice.
The content is based on established clinical guidelines. You will learn:

Not satisfied with the comforts of home, bedbugs are migrating to public places like movie theaters and retail stores and then hitching rides on unsuspecting consumers. Not only are bedbugs a growing problem, they are also a hard problem to get rid of. Better Business Bureau recommends doing your research to find a pest control company you can trust to get the job done efficiently.
According to a recent survey by the Pest Management Association, 95 percent of exterminators had encountered a bed bug infestation in the previous year—compared to only 25 percent of respondents ten years prior. While homes are the most common place for infestations, bedbugs also invade hotels, movie theaters, clothing stores and offices.
"When you discover an infestation in your home or business, you want to act quickly and get a professional in there fast," said Jim Camp, President and CEO of the BBB of Central SC and Charleston. "Despite the urgency of the problem, you still need to do your research and make sure you are enlisting the help of a qualified and trustworthy pest control specialist.
When hiring a pest control company, BBB recommends that home and business owners consider the following:
Start with BBB.
Always research a business with your BBB first. BBB maintains reports on good and bad exterminators across North America. You can use BBB's Accredited Business Locator to quickly find local companies that uphold BBB's standards for ethical business practices.
Credentials count.
Make sure the exterminator has sufficient training and certifications. Ideally, the company will also be a member of a national or local trade association. Also research the company with your local pest control regulatory board.
Ask about liability insurance.
Find out how the company is covered, and how you will be reimbursed, if they happen to break any of your belongings or damage your home.
Get educated.
Make sure that you completely understand the extent of the infestation as well as the possible remedies and side effects of any chemicals used. Do your own research online into the problem and possible solutions.
Read the fine print.
Always read the fine print carefully and don't just take a representative word for it. Pay close attention to any warrantees or termination fees if entering into an extended contract for monitoring or future services.

The Time Traveler's Wife
- Review Date: August 13, 2009
- Rated: PG-13
- Genre: Romance
- Release Year: 2009
- Running Time: 107 minutes
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this tearjerker, though romantic, may prove too gloomy for tweens and younger teens. The central couple shares a powerful love, but their relationship is constantly tested, sometimes to the breaking point, and there are few moments of levity. Expect some nudity (though primarily in a non-sexual context), swearing ("s--t" is the strongest word used), and a few bloody, though not gory, scenes. There's also discussion of heavy topics like free will, miscarriage, death, and losing a parent.
User reviews
Parents say

What's the story?
Clare (Rachel McAdams) and Henry (Eric Bana) are star-crossed lovers who meet and are torn apart by a unique genetic condition that arbitrarily sends him time traveling. When they first meet (from her perspective, anyway), he's in his thirties and she's still a young girl -- but they form an unlikely friendship that transcends space and time. And, eventually (or, from the start, from his perspective), they wind up together. But even their tremendous love may not be enough to sustain a relationship hobbled by Henry's sudden absences and Clare's longing for a stable life.
Is it any good?
For a film about the metaphysical, THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE is curiously lacking in energy. It starts out far too explanatory, like a wannabe friend who overshares. While it's true that the audience needs prodding given the material -- how to make time travel approachable? -- it nevertheless seems questionable to keep inserting explanations that have been heard before. (For instance, why Henry keeps stealing clothes wherever he turns up.)
The time-travel jump cuts make the film all the more befuddling, and although Henry's supposed to morph in age from one time period to the next, all that ever seems to change is how many wrinkles he sports and how gray his hair gets. It's not until midway through the movie, when questions about Henry's genetic makeup arise, that the film begins to really transport you -- and, by the end, it does get very emotional. (How can it not, given the heavy tugging? After all, the melancholic piano is cued at every tragic turn.) But still, somehow the end result is more tepid than tearjerking.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about what keeps Clare and Henry connected despite all of their difficulties. Is their life together believable? Would Clare really stay with Henry when he's so unpredictable? How does their relationship compare to other movie pairings you've seen?
Does the film handle the topic of time travel believably (as much as is possible, that is)? Does it seem like a benefit or a curse?
If you've read the book, how do you think the movie compares? What are some of your favorite books-turned-movies?

Joseph Palermo: Wall Street banks should be pouring money into Obama's reelection since he's been so good to them, and the neocons should be rejoicing in his establishing precedent for more unchecked executive power.
West Coast Unions Cave to Democrats
Shamus Cooke: In California, the unions agreed to a rotten compromise, which taxes the rich at a lower rate while including an increase in the state sales tax that disproportionally affects working and poor people.
Why Campaigning for Democrats Cripples Labor Unions
Shamus Cooke: Millions of union and non-union workers have seen their lives worsen under Obama while he promotes stunts that are intended to serve the wealthy and fool everybody else.
Occupy and Organized Labor: Dare to Struggle, Dare to Win
Mark Naison: If I dare to dream, I can see where this collaboration between Occupy and Labor might lead—to the unionization of Wal-Mart, to the unionization of McDonalds, to the unionization of financial services workers in the nation's largest banks.
Santorum Loves Unions — in Iran
"I believe in the American worker," says Rick Santorum, the new anti-Romney in the food fight for the GOP presidential nomination. A hero of social conservatives, Santorum claims he's a blue collar sort of guy, too. The ex-senator and congressman from Pennsylvania promises he can make factories boom again. Santorum says he has a plan […]
Will Occupy Fade Away?
Mark Naison: If the Occupy movement's showed us, in words and deeds, "This Is What Democracy Looks Like" those attacking the Occupations showed the world, albeit unintentionally "This Is What a Police State Looks Like."
Useful Examples for Occupy from the Great Depression
Mark Naison: The "grunt work" of organizing Depression Era protests — at least until 1936 — was done by radicals who for the most part eschewed, or de emphasized electoral politics.
Labor Must Choose Between Occupy and the Democrats
Shamus Cooke: The labor movement has a foot in both worlds; one in step with the Occupy Movement and the other with the Democrats, who are working to crush Occupy outright.
Professionals Moving to Organized Labor
Sharon Kyle: Labor union membership has declined significantly in the United States over the last 50 years, but this segment of the labor market is booming.
Occupy Movement, Labor on Collision Course with Obama
Randy Shaw: If President Obama and fellow Democrats agree to a deficit reduction deal that cuts Medicare, Social Security, and other programs serving the 99%, expect an electoral calamity for Democrats in 2012.
Fuel for Occupy Wall Street's Fire
Shamus Cooke: Ultimately, the Occupy Wall Street protests have already succeeded. The movement has successfully re-focused the nation's debate on who ruined the economy and who should be targeted, shifting blame away from immigrants, unions, and other groups of working people, like public employees.
Labor Occupies Wall Street, But Democrats Go in Reverse
As the grassroots campaign against Wall Street grows, Democratic politicians are moving in the opposite direction. President Obama has secured the House Republican support necessary to pass three trade bills strongly opposed by organized labor and most Democrats. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, who like Obama was elected with huge labor funding and ground support, […]
