C2250 CADENCE (USA, 1990) (Other Titles: Fremder Klang) C2250 CADENCE (USA, 1990) (Other titles: Fremder Klang) Credits: director, Martin Sheen ; writers, Dennis Shryack, Martin Sheen ; story, Gordon Weaver Cast: Charlie Sheen, Martin Sheen, F. Murray Abraham, Larry Fishburne, Blu Mankuma Summary: Military melodrama set in Germany in 1965. After getting drunk and hitting an M.P., rebellious Army private Franklin Bean (Charlie Sheen) is sentenced to 90 days in the stockade. There he faces isolation and anxiety, locked up with a squad of black prisoners, and confronted by the stockade's Master Sergeant McKinney (Martin Sheen). He gradually earns the respect of his fellow prisoners. He is taught the squad’s ‘dap.’ After McKinney accidentally shoots one of the black prisoners, Bean testifies at his court martial, but his ambiguous testimony clears McKinney and alienates the black prisoners. McKinney goes insane. When Bean's time is up, he is ordered to Vietnam. As he is about to depart, the leader of the black squad relents and tells Bean, “Don’t sweat the ‘Nam man. Just get with the brothers and they’ll look after your ass.” The rest of the squad daps with Bean as he leaves. Alyo. “Cadence” Variety 341 (Nov. 5, 1990), p. 76.

A social semiotic analysis of CNN’s stories on Snapchat. Location: Linnaeus University Language: Swedish Number of pages: 35 Journalism as we know it today is facing massive change. Technological advances have enabled new ways of delivering news which differ from traditional means in both practical and content-related matters. This bachelors thesis intended to obtain greater understanding of how journalistic content manifested itself on the new media platform Snapchat. We chose to conduct a socialsemiotic analysis of six of CNNs “stories” on the platform and their corresponding content on CNNs website. By doing this we could distinguish a signifigant change in both magnitude and form. Compared to the corresponding content the stories contained less information and indicated a higher level of sensation and dramatics. In addition we found that information not conveyed in the stories text could appear in other modalities such as image or music. This suggests a different way of storytelling in news media when distributed on this new platform.

  • From Betty White to Sandra Bullock, the 10 Stars America Puts the Most Faith In
    The Star Economy Hollywood's Most Trustworthy Celebrities Forbes Staff, 02.08.11, 06:00 AM EST From Betty White to Sandra Bullock, the 10 stars America puts the most faith in. Los Angeles -- Audiences can't seem to get enough of Betty White, whether she's standing at an awards show podium, starring in a sitcom or hosting Saturday Night Live. Turns out they have a tremendous amount of faith in her too, according to E-Poll Market Research, which has named the 89-year-old star among the most trusted celebrities in America. To determine which other stars the public has come to count on, we reached out to the California-based polling company, which ranks more than 6,000 celebrities on 46 different personality attributes, including trustworthiness and likability. "People are hardwired to 'worship' something, and celebrities are akin to modern-day religious icons," says James Houran, a clinical psychologist who researches the topic. "We trust them because we feel we know them--they are familiar and successful, and people want to copy them in an effort to feel successful too." The trouble with this: What we know is simply an on-screen persona, which we subconsciously confuse, or even substitute, for an off-screen one. Very often, that's by design. In a TMZ-fueled culture with a seemingly insatiable appetite for all things celebrity, these stars and the pricey publicity teams that they employ go to great lengths to ensure that details of their private lives remain precisely that. To be sure, some are more successful at it than others (think Mel Gibson, Charlie Sheen).

  • Is This CBS and Is This CBS and Charlie Sheen Saga Nothing More
    Is This CBS and Charlie Sheen Saga Nothing More Than a Publicity Stunt? What Do YOU Think? With all the latest news focus on the trials and tribulations of actor Charlie Sheen, PR extraordinaire JP Pampena executive vice president of JP Public Relations Inc. a Toronto-based PR firm, steps into the fray in a novel way. Tania Pavlyuchyk “With the millions of dollars of worldwide free publicity that this story is receiving, all the commentary on Charlie Sheen, the drama surrounding his personal life and his show Two and a Half Men in the past week I, like many other fans of the show, just want to see an end to all the hysterics and for the show to get back into production and for the season to continue uninterrupted," states Mr. Pampena. Let's face it. It's all about the money in Hollywood and if CBS does not get back on track they stand to lose hundreds of millions of dollars of advertising revenues for the show, not to mention that hundreds of people will be put out of work. CBS executives must not falter and lose grip of the fact that business is business and although Mr. Sheen's conduct may have gotten out of hand, we mustn’t forget that in Hollywood; the show must go on. “Let's get over the hostility and get the show on the road,” states Mr. Pampena. “On a PR perspective, if I were the studio’s PR head, I would look at this as a fabulous PR opportunity which has thus far generated millions and millions of dollars of free publicity for the show on a worldwide scale.

  • From Fake Apple Stores to Wiredoo: 2011'S Craziest Tech Stories December 31, 2011 | 6:00 Am
    BUSINESS Technology THE BUSINESS AND CULTURE OF OUR DIGITAL LIVES, FROM THE L.A. TIMES From fake Apple stores to WireDoo: 2011's craziest tech stories December 31, 2011 | 6:00 am 2011 was a big year for tech news--Steve Jobs died, Facebook and Twitter revolutionized the revolutionary experience in the Middle East, a new iPad came out, a new iPhone came out, and the world got to meet SIRI, Google+ and the Kindle Fire. It was also a hilarious year, as tech reporters and savvy Facebook sharers and Tweeters found a steady stream of crazy tech stories to keep them entertained. From the spate of fake Apple Stores in China to the news that Amazon founder Jeff Bezos was building a 10,000-year clock, here is a list of 11 great stories from 2011 that made us grateful to be alive and paying attention in this completely insane age of the Internet. 1. Fake Apple stores popping up in China: We'd heard of people knocking off purses and shoes and wallets, but a whole store? That was new. So when a young American living in China blogged about a spate of fake Apple stores that had opened in her adopted city of Kunming, the Internet went crazy. The best part were the photos she had on her blog that showed the familiar pale wood surfaces, the glowing white Apple logo, and even workers dressed in those distinctive blue shirts. 2. The IE IQ hoax: For one brief, glorious moment, tech reporters thought it just might be possible that people who used the Internet Explorer browser were actually dumber than those who used other browsers.
