Based on an examination of the correspondence of whig and radical polit- icians, and of the files of the morning Chronicle, it illustrates the impact which Perry made on the world of politics and journalism. The main questions discussed are how Perry responded, as a Foxite journalist, to the chief political issues of the day; the extent to which the whigs attempted to influence his editorial policy and the degree to which he reconciled his independence with obedience to their wishes4 the difficulties he encountered as the spokesman of an often divided party; his considerable involvement, which was remarkable for a journalist, in party activity and in the social life of whig politicians; and his success as a newspaper proprietor concerned not only with political propaganda, but with conducting a paper which was distinguished for the quality of its miscellaneous features and for its profitability as a business enterprise. -

Business Hearing February 07, 2011
Transcript Prepared By the Clerk of the Legislature Transcriber's Office Business and Labor Committee February 07, 2011 [LB397 LB482 LB555 LB564 LB619 LB623 LB624 LB664 LR29CA] The Committee on Business and Labor met at 1:30 p.m. on Monday, February 7, 2011, in Room 1524 of the State Capitol, Lincoln, Nebraska, for the purpose of conducting a public hearing on LB397, LB482, LB555, LB564, LB623, LB624, LB619, LB664, and LR29CA. Senators present: Steve Lathrop, Chairperson; Tanya Cook, Vice Chairperson; Brad Ashford; Tom Carlson; Burke Harr; Jim Smith; and Norm Wallman. Senators absent: None. SENATOR LATHROP: Good afternoon. My name is Steve Lathrop. I'm the Chair of the Business and Labor Committee, and we're here today to hear a series of bills and they generally relate to the subject matter of the Commission on Industrial Relations. We're still waiting on two members to get here and so I'll take this opportunity to tell you a few of the ground rules that they're very familiar with. And hopefully by the time I get done with this, they'll be here and then I can introduce everyone before we start. As the Chair of the committee, I have a number of responsibilities, and one of them, and it's very basic and fundamental, is to keep the hearing moving to make sure that the information that we're getting is new from one testifier to the next and that we're not caught up in a great deal of repetition; the other is to make sure that we're out of here at a decent hour and to make sure that those senators who are going to introduce bills today do not have to wait until 11:00 tonight to do that. -

FIREFLY 3.10 3.10 Zombies, Reavers, Butchers, and Actuals in Joss Whedon's Work Gerry Canavan For all the standard horror movie monsters Joss Whedon took up in Buffy and Angel-vampires, of course, but also ghosts, demons, werewolves, witches, Frankenstein's monster, the Devil, mummies, haunted puppets, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, the "bad boyfriend," and so on-you'd think there would have been more zombies. In twelve years of television across both series zombies appear in only a handful of episodes. They attack almost as an afterthought at Buffy's drama-laden homecoming party early in Buffy Season 3 ("Dead Man's Party" 3.2); they completely ruin Xander's evening in "The Zeppo" (3.13) later that same season; they patrol Angel's Los Angeles neighborhood in "The Thin Dead Line" (2.14) in Angel Season 2; they stalk the halls of Wolfram & Hart in "Habeas Corpses" (4.8) in Angel Season 4. A single zombie comes back from the dead to work things out with the girlfriend who poisoned him in a subplot in "Provider" (3.12) in Angel Season 3; Adam uses science to reanimate dead bodies to make his lab assistants near the end of Buffy Season 4 ("Primeval" 4.21); zombies guard a fail-safe device in the basement of Wolfram & Hart in "You're Welcome" (3.12) in Angel Season 5. -

Whether we spend years of our lives tuning in every week, or a few days bingeing through a storyworld, TV finales act as sites of negotiation between the forces of media production and consumption. By tracing a history of finales from the first Golden Age of American television to our contemporary era of complex TV, my project provides the first book- length study of TV finales as a distinct category of narrative media. This dissertation uses finales to understand how tensions between the emotional and economic imperatives of participatory culture complicate our experiences of television. The opening chapter contextualizes TV finales in relation to existing ideas about narrative closure, examines historically significant finales, and describes the ways that TV endings create meaning in popular culture. Chapter two looks at how narrative anticipation motivates audiences to engage communally in paratextual spaces and share processes of closure. -
