    By Jennifer M. Fogel a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy

    A MODERN FAMILY: THE PERFORMANCE OF “FAMILY” AND FAMILIALISM IN CONTEMPORARY TELEVISION SERIES by Jennifer M. Fogel A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Communication) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor Amanda D. Lotz, Chair Professor Susan J. Douglas Professor Regina Morantz-Sanchez Associate Professor Bambi L. Haggins, Arizona State University © Jennifer M. Fogel 2012 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I owe my deepest gratitude to the members of my dissertation committee – Dr. Susan J. Douglas, Dr. Bambi L. Haggins, and Dr. Regina Morantz-Sanchez, who each contributed their time, expertise, encouragement, and comments throughout this entire process. These women who have mentored and guided me for a number of years have my utmost respect for the work they continue to contribute to our field. I owe my deepest gratitude to my advisor Dr. Amanda D. Lotz, who patiently refused to accept anything but my best work, motivated me to be a better teacher and academic, praised my successes, and will forever remain a friend and mentor. Without her constructive criticism, brainstorming sessions, and matching appreciation for good television, I would have been lost to the wolves of academia. One does not make a journey like this alone, and it would be remiss of me not to express my humble thanks to my parents and sister, without whom seven long and lonely years would not have passed by so quickly. They were both my inspiration and staunchest supporters. Without their tireless encouragement, laughter, and nurturing this dissertation would not have been possible.

    Once Is Not Enough Free

    FREE ONCE IS NOT ENOUGH PDF Jacqueline Susann | 384 pages | 01 Jan 1998 | Grove Press / Atlantic Monthly Press | 9780802135452 | English | New York, United States Once Is Not Enough (film) - Wikipedia As IMDb celebrates its 30th Once is Not Enough, we have six shows to get you ready for those pivotal years of your life Get some streaming picks. Title: Once Is Not Enough January Wayne, the sheltered, much-loved daughter of a formerly successful Hollywood producer, goes home to New York after a lengthy stint in a Swiss hospital. Mike Wayne has fallen on hard times and decides to marry for money. January is an innocent young woman who searches for her place in the world. Pursued by her rich new stepmother's playboy of a cousin, she instead falls hard for a much older man, a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer who's a surrogate for her father, before tragedy strikes. Jacqueline Susann's glamorous, emotional, highly personal novels always lost something in their translation to the screen. Once Is Not Enough is another prime example. But it doesn't have the unintended hilarity of Valley of the Dolls, nor the compelling sleaziness of The Love Machine. The most outrageous and memorable elements of the book Once is Not Enough excised completely, and the result is two hours of sudsy romantic nothingness. Without the pills, vitamin shots, wild sex including an acid-fueled orgyand disturbing violence that infused the compelling novel, the story is as flat as week-old ginger ale. It's a slick production with an all-star cast, including the engaging Deborah Raffin as January, but the material is awful.

    Image of PR Practitioner in Movies and Television 1901-2011 1 The Image of the Public Relations Practitioner in Movies and Television 1901-2011 Joe Saltzman1 Professor of Journalism Director, The Image of the Journalist in Popular Culture (IJPC) A Project of the Norman Lear Center Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism University of Southern California Los Angeles, CA [email protected] Introduction In this article, we examine images of public relations practitioners in film and television appearing in more than 327 English-speaking films and television programs from 1901 to 2011.2 This is the largest study of its kind ever attempted and one of the first to include the image of the public relations practitioner in television programs. Many public relations practitioners believe the image of the publicist and the PR professional is one of the most negative in history. But this analysis indicates that the images of the PR practitioner are far more varied and even more positive than previously thought. Literature Review There have been previous studies on the image of the PR practitioner in film. They include Karen Miller’s landmark study in 1999 (which included film and print images),3 Larry Tavcar’s 1993 look at 17 films depicting public relations in the movies,4 Donn James Tilson’s brief look at public relations and Hollywood in 2003,5 and Carol Ames’ comprehensive follow-up to Miller’s study in 2010.6 In addition, Mordecai Lee studied images of the public relations practitioner in government and public administration, sampling 20 films from 1944 to 2000 in a 2001 study,7 and in a 2009 update8 added seven more films from 1996 to 2008.

    Suburban Corruption Takes Different Forms Ranging from Officials Hiring Family Members to Police Chiefs Protecting Criminals

    1 The City of Chicago attracts local, national, and even international attention for its long and salient culture of corruption. But the media and the general public tend to overlook the abundant political and public corruption that also exists in many of the region’s suburbs. Patronage, nepotism, cronyism, abuse of power and criminal activity flourish, sometimes for decades, in numerous city halls, police stations and special purpose government agencies in suburbs surrounding Chicago and in the collar counties. Public corruption has afflicted the north, south, and west suburbs. It impacts upper income and lower income villages, towns and cities. More than 130 individuals have been convicted of corruption related schemes in the suburbs since the 1970s, including more than 100 public officials in the last two decades. Far from being an escape from the corrupt practices of the big, bad city, many of the suburbs seem determined to imitate them. There are six categories of corruption-related convictions in suburban Chicago: 1) Public officials with ties to organized crime 2) Nepotism 3) Police officers aiding or extorting criminals 4) Kickbacks and bribes to officials and administrators 5) Large Development Projects 6) Stealing of funds by leaders of school districts and special purpose districts This report shows how suburban corruption takes different forms ranging from officials hiring family members to police chiefs protecting criminals. Cumulatively the many examples in this report contradict the common perception that while Chicago is corrupt, the suburbs have clean, open, and effective governments. In fact, corruption impacts a large number of local 2 governments throughout the Chicago metropolitan area and it has persisted for decades.

Allen This paper can be downloaded without charge from the Social Science Research Network Electronic Paper collection: http://papers.ssrn.com/abstract=1010949 The virtuous spy: privacy as an ethical limit Monist, The, Jan, 2008 by Anita L. Allen The virtuous spy: privacy as an ethical limit Anita L. Allen Introduction You suspect something amiss is going on behind your back. Or maybe you know something is going on, but you are not sure of all the details. You want the full story, and you know one way to get it. You could spy. Is there any reason not to spy on other people as necessary to get the facts straight, especially if you can put the facts you uncover to good use? To "spy" is secretly to monitor or investigate another's beliefs, intentions, actions, omissions, or capacities, especially as revealed in otherwise concealed or confidential conduct, communications and documents. By definition, spying involves secret, covert activity, though not necessarily lies, fraud or dishonesty. Nor does spying necessarily involve the use of special equipment, such as a tape recorder or high-powered binoculars. Use of a third party agent, such as a "private eye" or Central Intelligence Agency operative is not necessary for surveillance to count as spying. By "spying" I mean something different from unwanted open surveillance of people who know they are being observed or investigated; and I mean something different from openly prying into others' affairs by plying them with meddlesome questions.

    Get Ready for More Than Five Years in Prison

    Real Stuff About Organized Crime The nation's foremost EXPERT on the American Mafia Home This Week Capeci's Books Archives Log In Search This Week in Gang Land April 26, 2018 By Jerry Capeci Judge To Tough-Talking Labor Racketeer: Get Ready For More Than Five Years In Prison An arrogant, tough-talking, mobbed up labor chieftain was captured on tape boasting to a contractor about how his union gives short shrift to its members from Mexico and Central America who work as landscapers. The union's contract is "not that good," Roland Bedwell, the $190,000 a year business agent and treasurer of Local 175 of the United Plant and Production Workers, was heard telling the contractor. "It's not good for the guys. Great for you. Bullshit contract if you ask me." Bedwell pointed out how much better his union's contract is for members in his road paving division who are paid more and get better benefits: "See we came up with that cause we knew, in the landscapers, they got a lot of Mexicans, Guatemalans." Those members, the union boss added "came from a third-world country and we understand that." Bedwell, whose 600-member Long Island-based union represents asphalt workers, landscapers and others in the metropolitan area, has pleaded guilty to extortion. He faces sentencing next month by Brooklyn Federal Judge Nicholas Garaufis. Prosecutors filed the transcripts along with a sentencing memo that asks Garaufis to give Bedwell 63 months behind bars. Bedwell's comments about third-world workers are not likely to sit well with Garaufis, who is presiding over a lawsuit that seeks to keep in place a federal program that protects so-called Dreamers, hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants from being deported.
