The job training will be led by the Laborers International Union of North America (LIUNA), the 700,000-member construction union, and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the 1.8 millionmember healthcare union. LIUNA has a long history of training and placing workers in a range of construction jobs, including demolition, mold remediation and basic construction. LIUNA conducted the Center's first official class during the kick-off, in which NOLA WRC's first 20 trainees attended an OSHA 10-hour training course focusing on worksite safety. At the rally initiating the project, Tom Woodruff, Executive Vice President of SEIU, declared the plan was to "rebuild the city but we don't want to rebuild its poverty." Woodruff said the Worker Resource Center was "designed to give residen...

If the longhaired cats look like Persians, its because they are - Himalayans are a class of Persians with pale coats and "color points" accenting their ears, paws and tail, [Mary Phinney] explains. Breed standards for cats are defined by CFA, which describes them on its website in language that wouldn't be out of place in an art history classroom. Each standard is "an abstract aesthetic ideal" that embodies "artistic unity," the page says. Additional sections for each breed offer exhaustive lists of the criteria judges look for when they examine actual cats in the ring. In the small house Phinney shares with her husband, older cats, expectant moms and kittens live upstairs. Down in the basement is the "cattery" proper, where nubile females and studs reside. Animotion is a "closed catter...

St. Germain We were casting big musky lures a bucktail spinner and a deep-diving crank bat over and alongside a submerged cabbage weed bed just off the mid-lake island on Big St. Germain Lake. It's dangerous water, a spot where Don Streeter, who guides out of Woodruff, and some of his clients have caught muskies in the past.

Richard Berman, profiled by CBS's "60 Minutes" as "Dr. Evil," is a notorious anticonsumer publicist and a hired gun for the alcohol, tobacco and fast food industries. Berman, who has close ties to the Bush administration and the Chamber of Commerce, operates the Center for Union Facts (and its spin-off me Employee Freedom Action Committee) and produces hyperbolic anti-EFCA ads mat depict union leaders as crooks and thugs. Further, the employer defense of secret ballots is a sham. "Workers without a union don't vote on anything," says Tom Woodruff, director of Change to Win's strategic organizing center. "When was the last time non-union voters voted on a pay raise?" For that matter, when did corporations seek worker secret ballots on executive pay or offshoring jobs? Labor laws in this...

Mainstream journalism reached a new low Tuesday when ABC aired its highly promoted "Earth 2100," which host Bob Woodruff called "a different kind of journalism" that shows us what will happen if we don't act now. "Good Morning America" host Diane Sawyer imbued the show with journalistic credibility, telling her audience "we're not talking about sci-fi here. Earth 2100" was certainly different, only because it abandoned the American journalistic tradition of at least feigning respect for balance, substantiation and truth. It wasn't so different from outdated, Marxist-style propaganda. Apparently Woodruff and others at ABC haven't learned that tall-tales fabrication, packaged as "journalism," worked only in the day when media monopolies and tyrant governments could control the message. ...

Produced by a small production company based out of Wilson, Wyoming, Sanctified is billed as "a ski film about backcountry preservation." KGB Productions released the film in November, and they have been touring it around the country ever since. Their stated intention is to make films that appeal to viewers on a level beyond the sheer adrenaline-rush footage viewers have grown accustomed to. They recognize that skiing, and the ski industry, have an established culture surrounding them. And KGB is hoping to create films that will escape the seemingly permanent confines surrounding the idea that the progress of human-powered sports is based solely on the idea of "bigger, longer harder," that is, bigger air, longer lines and harder tricks. It's kind of a funny story how we got in touch wi...
