Movie News
Alright folks... Sony is going to make a MANIMAL Movie, really...
Hey folks, Harry here... This is just mondo-bizarro, but it seems that the crazy insane TV show from the 80s... MANIMAL... is being turned into a Live Action/CG mix by Sony Pictures Animation. Now MANIMAL was a series that just never took off. It was one of Glen Larson's projects and apparently Mr Larson is on-board as a producer.
Back in the 80's the adult world loathed the show, but I was a bit of a Glen Larson nut, following his BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, KNIGHT RIDER, AUTOMAN, THE FALL GUY, BUCK ROGERS IN THE 25TH CENTURY, but I was never a fan of MAGNUM,P.I. MANIMAL had a great deal of promise I thought, they just never particularly nailed the concept in my opinion. And I've known quite a few hardcore fans of the show, for whom, this announcement means Blu Rays of the Original Show, so they're very happy. The real key is who to fill Simon MacCorkindale's shoes. Of course the great sadness is that this is going CG, because part of the great fun of the show were those practical transformations they attempted with relish.
So what do you folks think of this news?

remember liking this as a kid, and then going back and watching it again recently and...
by darthadv
...realizing why it was canceled so abruptly (8 episodes total, including the two hour pilot) I think the appeal as a kid was watching the transformations because the effects were something we hadn't seen before (pre T2 transformations). But the concept of an NYU professor acting as a consultant to the police and using his animal transformation powers in secret to solve crimes didn't lend itself to great story arcs. Well, at least the actress who played Dale Arden in the Flash Gordon movie was in it as the lead female role. Epic fail waiting to happen...

by mastermold
If there is such a thing as an acceptable property to remake, then it should be something like Manimal -- a film or TV show that wasn't successful but had potential or promise which wasn't realized.
Sept. 17, 2012, 9:04 p.m. CST

Manimal Appeared On Night Man Once...
by Mike
Night Man was this terrible show about a Super Hero who ran a Jazz Club or something but I saw an episode once with a blond English dude talking about how he used to fight crime and I thought "Wait a minute...that's FUCKING MANIMAL!" then the old English dude had a flashback and the flashback used a bunch of clips from Manimal! It was like the Avengers but for sad shitty TV. I was half expecting Auto Man to wander into the bar. Anyway, I'm one of the half dozen kids that loved the shit out of Manimal when it first aired so I hope they do something cool with it rather than just some bullshit to give Bradley Cooper something to do.

My parents used to watch Newhart, the second one with the guy from Bosom Buddies, Peter something. I couldn't care less about Newhart until one time when Peter mentioned Manimal. Then suddenly I was interested in Newhart and went on to love that show.

Ok so screw this. I want to see automan. But wait there's more. I want to see all the franchises do battle. You see everything is like comics. They re-start the same characters over every

few years depending. Movies and tv have the same limited cast of characters as comicbooks and toys. They just re-boot and re-launch. So I want to see the bionic man vs automan,manimal,Tron,rom the space knight vs spiderman and aliens and some marvel zombies and some- hey you got some shit on the side of your face there.. No, the other side.

by fustfick
There was a J.R. Ewing type floating on a raft in the pool and shark came after him. It got me really jazzed for the show and when I was a kid I absolutely loved MANIMAL. And also MATT HOUSTON. Of course MANIMAL and MATT HOUSTON paired up for THE SWORD AND THE SORCERER...but that was...another story....

Manimal had a "great deal of promise!?"
by hulkiest
Usually I, of course, side with the nerds, but anyone taking up for the artistic merits of Manimal clearly deserves a punch in the arm and all the derision that jocks and preps can muster. If they do end up remaking and updating Back To The Future, maybe George McFly should be patterned after Harry Knowles in the 80's. I mean, if you want to attempt to top Crispin Glover's performance as an embarrassing, out to lunch nerd of a father, you couldn't get any more humiliating than a big fat sci-fi dork with long red hair tuning into Manimal every Friday night (for 8 weeks) and defending its pure, unadulterated TV shittiness.

by Glen Saunders
For a second there I thought it read Full Frontal Lansbury Cameltoe in the directors cut. Either way, I think it would be best left as one of those hidden Easter Eggs where people had to go look for it.

Masquerade would make a decent series. It's a terrible idea for a movie.
by Royston Lodge
The whole point of Masquerade was that every episode featured a different cast, much like The Love Boat. The whole concept falls apart as a movie. If done right, someone could reboot the concept and make a pretty decent tv show.

by Dan
Another aspect of the transformations that added to the show's camp factor involved Dr. Chase's clothing during a transformation: He was depicted generally wearing a three-piece suit and tie, and the viewer would see it rip off of him as he shape-shifted into an animal, though once the transformation was complete there would be no sign of his discarded clothing. A bit later, he would transform back into human form with all of his clothing perfectly restored upon his person, even if he was unconscious.

by Hunter of Da Snark
Christ on a cracker! I was 12 when this first went on. I used to love it but, obviously, it has not aged well. Apparently the rest of the universe thought it sucked, and they were probably right. However, I was simply in love with Melody Anderson. That being said, if you went with a "serious" remake, I could see Clive Owen in the lead. I would hate to see yet another comedy spoof of an old TV show.

I'll bet you a sum of donuts that Sony has not committed to it in any way, shape or form. It's a total hoax designed to check interest and find investors.

some advice for Sony from boxofficemojo.com
by Nintendarth
In sixth place, comic book adaptation/remake Dredd bombed with just $6.3 million from 2,506 locations. That's less than one-third of Kick-Ass's $19.8 million, and only a little over half of the original Judge Dredd's $12.3 million (and that movie was considered a flop 17 years ago!). It's at least up on Shoot 'Em Up ($5.7 million) and about on par with April's Lockout ($6.2 million), though those comparisons suggest Dredd is on track for less than $20 million through its entire run. The audience was predominantly male (75 percent) and older (69 percent were 25 years of age or older) and they gave the movie a "B" CinemaScore. A 3D share is not currently available. Dredd's awful performance is the latest example of how the Comic-Con/online fanboy crowd just doesn't make up a large portion of the moviegoers in this country. The movie came out of its Comic-Con screening in July with tons of online buzz and very strong reviews, and it maintained a 100 percent fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes through at least its first 25 reviews (though it ultimately wound up at a more-reasonable 77 percent). As a result, the fanboy audience was very aware of this movie ahead of release, and anticipation seemed to be pretty high among this group as well. Ultimately, though, it's just not a big-enough group to drive strong business. For a good dissection of the hazards of targeting fanboys, check out this piece from earlier this year in The Hollywood Reporter.

Many of you tuned in to the final Oprah Winfrey Show Wednesday afternoon. It marked the end of an era that began 25 years ago when Winfrey launched her talk show.
The Power of Oprah has launched a whole lot more over the years, including the products and careers of others.
Just last week, a small south Georgia business got some national attention as a result of Oprah.
Designer Nate Berkus got his start on the Oprah show, and now has his own show produced by Oprah's company. Several weeks ago, a south Georgia home accessories business put their product on his show and they've been busy ever since.
The idea started innocently enough in their husbands' saw mill, with a need for a few picture frames. When friends starting noticing and asking for frames, it turned into a part time business. They're all made from recycled materials.
"From churches and just barns and houses, and old buildings they tear down and that's where this wood comes from it's all reclaimed wood," said Kristen Fuller of Stewart & James.
So when sisters-in-law and business partners Kristen and Arre Fuller got a call several weeks ago that the Nate Berkus Show wanted to use their frames in a segment on gifts under 50 dollars, they rushed to send the product out.
"Of course we were real excited, we jumped on it and got some frames to them and we found out the day of they would be on the air," said Fuller.
The rest has meant a lot of work.
"We immediately saw a spike on our web site, we've had a lot more inquiries, orders, just interest over-all since a week ago," said Arre Fuller, of Stewart & James.
They say Oprah gets some of the credit for their increase in sales, since her production company produces the show.
"Everybody knows who Oprah is and I know that's how Nate got his start, that's how I knew about Nate Berkus and his show that he started, so yeah it's definitely thanks to Oprah," said Kristen.
Now they're at the shop as much as they can be, filling those orders.
"I can't even imagine if that was of course to continue what kind of increase we would see," said Arre.
Hoping their business start-up might turn into a full time job, thanks to a little national exposure from a man who found fame the same way.
If you want to reach Stewart & James you can find them at www.stewartandjames.com
You can also reach Kristen Fuller at 229-886-7656.
To give you an idea of the impact, they say the segment was less than 5 minutes, and its earned them international exposure with calls from other countries.
While Oprah's last show was Wednesday, you can continue to watch your favorite Oprah episodes in re-runs right here until the end of August.

Meeting Management
Running effective meetings requires excellent planning and communication skills training. This one-day program will focus on critical working meetings; how to ensure that these face-to-face gatherings maximize the cumulative energy, commitment and talents of those
engaged to meet important goals and specific outcomes.
• Ask the fundamental question for effective meetings - "what is the desired outcome?"
• Create Agendas – starting with a solid design and good time management
• Show how to prepare for meetings – from deciding what information to send in advance, to creating a space which will allow the attendees to comfortably absorb the information
• Explain why it is imperative that attendees know why this meeting is important to them and how to frame specific goals and the ground-rules for engagement
• Teach how ineffective a meeting can be if you don't have the right people in attendance
• Demonstrate how to process on the fly and control the content
• Provide tips for managing dynamic topics and the unexpected
• Teach how to close the meeting on a positive note - with a goal specific wrap-up, overview of key points, follow-up, action plans (with timelines) and more
Aspects of the program may be modified depending on variables including, but not limited to, venue restrictions, program length, and group size.

The French have long suggested that their good health may be attributed to their consumption of red wine. Though Americans eat fewer fatty foods, exercise more and smoke less, surprisingly, the French seem to have better general cardiovascular health.* This confusing phenomenon has come to be referred to as the French Paradox. Emerging research now indicates there may be truth to the idea that red wine may play a beneficial role in our health.* Wine contains healthy antioxidant plant compounds called polyphenols, which help to combat harmful free radicals in the body.* And studies point to one polyphenol in particular, resveratrol, as a key nutrient responsible for wines antioxidant properties, and possibly one of the secrets behind the French Paradox. Emerging research shows that resveratrols antioxidant properties hold numerous health benefits, including supporting heart health.

It wasn't too long ago that we were 0-4, and even less time ago we were 2 - 6 and had just been blasted by New England. After both our 4th and 8th games, Steelers fans everywhere were going crazy, or at least that's what it seemed.
Everyone I met was either a Ravens fan or a Steelers fan-in-hiding here in the Baltimore area, and the laughter and insults about how much our team sucked were endless. A small group of us diehard fans kept hoping that the season would turn around and that there would at least be hope for this ragtag group of players.
I said in a post weeks ago that I wouldn't consider this season lost until we had more than 8 loses and I still hold true to that. With all the tiebreakers and things that can go wrong for other teams, 8-8 could make the playoffs this year, and any team that makes the playoffs can win as we proved being the first 6th seed to win it all.
Our team looked slow and old, and had a lack of hunger and focus. In recent weeks some of our older players have looked like their younger selves instead of just shadows of former glory, and young players have stepped up enormously (Heyward and Bell). Heyward is becoming a force on the line, and Bell, while not putting up amazing numbers, is contributing enough for us to maintain the very real threat of running the ball. That may sound like a little thing, but just the threat of the run has helped all our WRs get more separation.
I think that this game and the game against the Tiggers are the two most important. Not just because they are within our division, or because they are our rivals, but because two victories against those teams could propel us to division champion when just weeks ago that seemed impossible. It is still a long shot, and I hope that our team doesn't think that far ahead. One week at a time has to be the mantra. For us, the playoffs began 3 weeks ago and one loss and we're out. We would still have a chance if we lost and other teams did too, but with wins we can control our fate.
As Steelers fans I think the best thing we can do is maintain our faith in our team. We might not agree with the play calling, who's starting, or any number of coaching calls, but on game day show up loud and proud. I plan on being at the Steelers Ravens game on Thanksgiving, shouting at the top of my lungs, waving my terrible towel, and showing that no matter what stadium they're in they have support. When all those fans left during the Lions game I felt disheartened, so I can't imagine how the players felt. Hopefully now that the season has turned around somewhat, even the fair-weather fans can join in and show overwhelming support for the black and gold.
In whatever stadium, bar, or house you may be at cheer loud for your Steelers. As fans it's the main thing we can offer, and the best way we can help.

GRANT PARISH, La.—Grant Parish Sheriff Steven McCain held an event today to announce he's bringing back a popular program that benefits senior citizens of the parish. He also took time to honor an officer shot in the line of duty.
The triad program has a deputy assigned to check up on those who are sixty and older.
The program was kicked off today with a fish fry.
Along with highlighting the "triad" program, Sheriff McCain took the time to also honor deputy Barkley Roberts with the Law Enforcement Purple Heart award.
Deputy Roberts was shot in the line of duty in 2010 when a man fired shots into the sheriff's office.
Deputy Roberts says it's a miracle he's still alive.
After 15 years with the department he says he will be retiring soon.

Moss to visit Saints
The timing of this is a little fishy to me. Yes they are in danger of losing receivers but don't they have bigger fish to fry? Almost looks like "Hey look we're trying to sign Randy Moss. ignore the fact that for the last 3 years we've been trying hurt people and end careers."

Bruce Werber, DPM, is reportedly slated to conduct five peer-reviewed studies designed to determine the efficacy of Barefoot Science Technology using Noraxon USA Inc's Motion Lab (ML) technology suite. Werber, former president of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons, is recognized as a leading foot and ankle specialist, according to a recent Noraxon news release. Noraxon adds that a concurrent billing study will also be conducted.
The release notes that the Scottsdale, Ariz-based company's multi-parametric solution blends measurement and training devices, including EMG, gait analysis, biofeedback and 2D/3D motion analysis in one software platform. The ML technology suite is comprised of wireless surface EMG, a pressure instrumented treadmill, two high definition cameras, and the new MyoMotion, a camera free 3D motion analysis. The company emphasizes that the goal driving the multi-component technology centers on offering complete insight into the musculoskeletal system and how it is biomechanically linked to the feet.
The treadmill is engineered to measure vertical and ground forces, underfoot pressure and temporal and special gait parameters, while surface EMG reveals muscle innervations, symmetry, and coordination. Additionally, the system's 2D and 3D kinematic functionality is designed to track height, distances, angles, orientation, and linear acceleration.

Sayuri looks smoking hot as usual but I wanna see her take the beating!
Looks like she's dishing out all the pain in this one, so it's a pass for me I'm afraid.
- 2 February 11, 2012 at 10:41 am
I'm sure they are building up to a big smackdown between Sayuri and Cali – which I will surely be buying.
- 3 February 11, 2012 at 7:43 pm
The main event was good and Destiny and Cali looked really hot.
- 4 February 12, 2012 at 3:37 pm
I agree with Tony on this one. Sayuri is much better as the victim.
- 5 February 12, 2012 at 3:51 pm
cmon HM-you know you want to order a TROD match starring Sayuri. Me, Ray, and Tony will love ya for it. Maybe you can co-produce and include some superheroine elements and make it their GOW4?

Hi, are these guys from RingDivas legit? Ordered a custom and I am concerned about an unexpected delay. Is the final product worth the wait, or should I ask for a refund? No reason to doubt them yet except this delay, but it worries me. Otherwise they seem like a class operation, but in my experience once the delays start you should be concerned.
- 9 March 22, 2012 at 1:51 am
@Guest: Yes man they are legit.
Sometimes they get some delays but the final product is always good In my opinion.
Have got several customs with them and not once they had let me down, it might take time but they will deliver and in good fashion.
- 10 March 22, 2012 at 3:38 am
Also, E-mail to the same address you got the confirmation order from, it might take them 2 or 3 days for them to get back to you but they will answer.
- 11 April 9, 2012 at 10:28 am
Thanks for letting me know. I am at over 12 weeks and still have not received anything. I am glad that the final product should be good even though it has been longer than the 6-8 weeks that their website lists. I think you will like mine once they finish it…
What's the longest you have waited? Also, what is standard wait for them to deliver the custom video? If anyone else has ordered customs, please let me know.
- 12 April 9, 2012 at 9:00 pm
Hi Maar,
New estimate is that mine will take 15- 16 weeks. Is that typical in your experience?

LONDON, Sept. 23 (Thomson Reuters Accelus) – UBS's loss of $2.3 billion has hit the headlines worldwide, and while full details of what went wrong are unlikely to be public in the near future there are already compliance lessons for other firms. UK and Swiss regulators have launched an investigation into:
the details of the unauthorised trading activity;
the control failures which permitted the activity to remain undetected; and
the overall strength of UBS' controls to prevent unauthorised or fraudulent trading activity in its investment bank.
Although the investigation is ongoing, and the regulators have expressly stated that they do not, as yet, have an expected timescale, there are a number of lessons or steps for other firms to consider. (more…)

Where can I find additional scholarships?
Endowed Scholarships
I only want to apply for a Monterey Insitute Merit Scholarship. Should I complete the FAFSA application?
You do not need to complete the FAFSA application to apply for our merit scholarships. However, need-based scholarships from outside sources may require you to submit the FAFSA.
Should I apply for outside scholarships?
We highly encourage all students to apply for outside scholarships. There are numerous websites, organizations and companies that offer scholarships. Visit our blog for more scholarship resources.
Will I be eligible for other Monterey Institute scholarships?
All admitted applicants to the Monterey Institute are considered for merit-based scholarships. These awards generally range from $4,000 to $14,000. Since the maximum scholarship offering is less than the Yellow Ribbon GI Education Enhancement Program, admitted veterans will be considered for the Yellow Ribbon program first. Merit scholarships will be forfeited if a student opts to take Yellow Ribbon benefits.
Where can I find additional scholarships?
Endowed Scholarships
What types of financial aid are available for my fifth year?
There are two main components financial aid at the Monterey Institute: merit scholarships and federal financial aid (Federal Work Study, Subsidized and Unsubsidized Stafford Loans, and the Federal Graduate PLUS Loans) based on financial need.
If I'm not a U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident, can I apply for financial aid?
All students, regardless of their citizenship status, are considered for the Monterey Institute merit scholarship if they successfully apply by the priority scholarship deadlines. Additionally, international students can also apply for a private educational loan if they have a creditworthy US cosigner. If you have an F-1 or J-1 Visa, you can also work on campus up to 20 hours per week to help defray living expenses.
If I had financial aid at Middlebury, do I need to reapply to attend the Monterey Institute?
Yes. All applicants who apply to the Monterey Institute by one of the priority scholarship deadlines are automatically considered for our merit scholarship. Students eligible for federal financial aid (US citizens, permanent residents, and qualifying non-residents) must apply annually. There is no formal deadline to apply for federal financial aid. However, we encourage you to submit all application mate
Why are there multiple deadlines for scholarship consideration?
You can apply to our programs at any time during the year. We receive the bulk of our applications for fall admission from late autumn through early spring. After an application is received, an admissions decision will usually be made within 4-6 weeks. All admitted applications are then eligible for merit based scholarship consideration.
Is there scholarship or other funding support available?
We are limited to a select scholarship program at this point, which is specifically designated for Davis UWC Scholars. However, we are continually exploring additional funding opportunities. We actively encourage applicants to consider applying for other scholarships through outside sources.
To date, we have had several students that have been successful in securing such funds through other school affiliations, local community organizations and/or previous volunteer service (i.e. Americorps, Peace Corps, etc.).

Feet-together squat
This works the gluteals, quads and hamstrings. Start with 10 squats and progress to 20, about two counts down and two counts up. To add variety or intensity, descend for one count and spend three counts coming up. Try also holding the lower position for 2-4 seconds, or using hand weights.
Buttock squeeze and stretch
This is a relatively easy exercise for the gluteals. Keep your face, neck and shoulders free from the tension you are building in your gluteals. Try to breathe easily throughout. As you squeeze, don't lift the hips too much – the emphasis is on the muscle contraction, not the height.
Last but not the least, maximize the effort you put into your lower body workout to see results quickly. Work as slowly and precisely as possible to perfect a move, then alternate the speed to keep challenging the muscles.

Penquis Regional Administrator Support System (PRASS) - PRASS Policies
The deadline for the completion of your Administrator Action Plan (AAP) and the filing of your FINAL REPORT is the last three months of the school year. If you are to be recertified when your administrator certificate expires on June 30th of the current year, you must also file a completed Application for Certificate Renewal Form, along with a recommendation for renewal from PRASS, with the Maine Department of Education prior to the June 30th expiration date.
In order for PRASS to recommend you for certificate renewal, you must complete the following steps. The Review Committee strongly recommends that you communicate with your Review Committee Mentor for assistance in getting through these final steps.
- Complete a written assessment (the FINAL REPORT) of your progress in completing the activities specified in your AAP, and the extent to which the activities helped you to meet your professional development goals and objectives as stated in your AAP. For each goal, include a summary of …
|the activities actually undertaken (be specific),
|the actual number of hours committed to each activity,
|how you benefitted from the activity, in terms of the objective it was designed to serve, and
|the aspects of each goal on which you need to continue to work.
- Complete and sign the back of the Application for Certificate Renewal Form, that the the state sends directly to you. If you hold more than one certificate, be sure to indicate which certificate(s) that you wish to have renewed. You do not have to pay for renewing your certificate of current focus, but you may have to pay for other certificates that you are renewing.
- Submit your FINAL REPORT and your completed renewal application form, but not the required fees (if any), to your Review Committee Mentor as soon as you have completed them. If the Review Committee concludes that your completed activities have met the professional growth goals included in your AAP, it will vote to recommend you for recertification. (Note: If you have not received your application for certificate renewal form by the time that you complete the writing of your final report, submit your final report to your Review Committee Mentor for action by the Review Committee. When you receive your application for renewal form from the state, submit it to the PRASS office for signing.)
Following the Review Committee's vote to recommend you for recertification, the PRASS Coordinator will sign, on behalf of PRASS, the recommendation for recertification. The PRASS Coordinator will return the form to you and t is your responsibility to mail the application to the Maine Department of Education, along with any fees that you are required to pay.
The Review Committee urges you to be direct, honest, and as detailed as you can about how your activities did or did not assist you to become a better administrator. The purpose of PRASS is to make recertification relevant to your work. The final evaluation of your growth will help your Review Committee know how well this system is working.
The following assessment options shall be available for use by those candidates who previously completed the Administrator Needs Assessment Program (ANAP) and are beginning their second cycle of certificate renewal under the Maine Department of Education's Chapter 502 regulations.
Option A
The Candidate, with his/her Review Committee Mentor will:
- review his/her original ANAP summary to identify areas of relative weakness that were not targeted in the completed AAP.
- review his/her portfolio matrix (professional portfolio analysis of background) to identify areas of relative strength and weakness.
- review his/her portfolio materials for incomplete areas needing additional focus.
- review his/her current job description and note any changes in same from the date of the previous ANAP.
- solicit specific written feedback (recommended focus needs) from others who have direct knowledge of the candidate's job responsibilities and his/her job performance.
- summarize, in writing, the results of the reviews undertaken and submit this to the Review Committee as an attachment to his/her proposed AAP.
Option B
The Candidate, working with his/her Review Committee Mentor, may complete a new ANAP. This may be particularly appropriate in cases where the candidate's current certificate of focus is different from his/her certificate of focus at the time the previous ANAP was completed.
If this option is selected, the other persons that the candidate asks to assess his/her skills, knowledge, and competencies by completing the ANAP should be different persons from those who previously completed an ANAP assessment of the candidate.
Option C
The Candidate, working with his/her Review Committee Mentor, may complete the PRASS Optional Administrator Needs Assessment Profile. This is a locally developed assessment instrument similar in design to the ANAP. Although it is similar in format to the ANAP and covers the same thirteen (13) areas of competency that the State of Maine has identified as required competencies to be assessed in the administrator recertification process, the Option "C" assessment instrument does not go into as much detail as the ANAP. The Option "C" assessment instrument requires a self assessment by the administrator and at least two other persons familiar with the administrator's work.
An administrator who elects to undertake Option "C" must contact the PRASS office and request that the Option "C" forms be forwarded to him/her.
Administrator Action Plans (AAPs) for Administrators Moving Into the PRASS Region
If an administrator with an AAP previously approved by another administrator support system or by the Maine Department of Education (MDOE) becomes employed by an administrative unit that is a participating member of the Penquis Regional Administrator Support System (PRASS), the PRASS Review Committee may take any of the following actions with regard to the previously-approved AAP:
- It may require that the Candidate's AAP be revised.
- It may allow the previously-approved plan to be completed with PRASS.
- It may agree to allow the Candidate to complete his/her AAP with the administrator support system which approved it. It such cases, the former support system must send a letter to PRASS upon satisfactory completion of the AAP. PRASS will then recommend to the Maine Department of Education that the Candidate's certificate(s) be renewed.
In the event that a Candidate disagrees with the Review Committee's decision as to which course of action must be followed, the Candidate may appeal the Review Committee's decision to the Governance Committee, whose decision shall be final.
Approved by the PRASS Governance Committee 5/24/94

The Indianapolis Colts will not have quite as much Pittsburgh Steelers flavor on the sideline as they originally planned for the upcoming season. The team hired new offensive coordinator Bruce Arians away from the Steelers, but they reportedly will not be able to do the same for linebackers coach Keith Butler.
The Colts planned to interview Butler for their defensive coordinator opening, but the veteran coach has decided instead to stay with the Steelers according to the NFL Network's Jason La Canfora. Though it seems like a move from linebackers coach to defensive coordinator would be a solid career move, it sounds like Butler will eventually make an even bigger jump with the Steelers.
Butler's contract had expired, although he had been in negotiations with the Steelers. He is highly respected and has long been viewed as the successor to LeBeau, who goes year-to-year on his contracts but is showing no signs of slowing down.
It'll be interesting to see who the Colts go after next considering it had earlier been reported that Butler to Indianapolis was a done deal.
For more on the Colts search for an offensive coordinator, visit SB Nation's Colts blog Stampede Blue. For more on Butler and the Steelers, check out Behind the Steel Curtain.

Two men walked into Richard's Variety, 145 Franklin St., about 12:55 p.m. Thursday, and while one of them waited by the door, the other approached the register, showed a gun and demanded money.
Detective Sgt. Dana Burrill said yesterday that the man who stayed by the door appeared to be acting as a lookout.
"He called to the other guy to wait, wait, a couple of times," Burrill said.
The robbers took $60 cash and several lottery tickets before leaving the store. They were described as being in their late 30s and wearing hooded sweat shirts.
It was the fifth robbery or attempt at the store in 19 years, store owners Richard and Sandra Sarbanis said.
Burrill said Haverhill detectives are working with police in Lawrence in an attempt to identify the man in the picture.
The two men are not suspects in the Jan. 2 robbery at Walgreens at 310 Main St. or the Jan. 7 robbery of the Sovereign Bank branch at 400 Lowell Ave., Burrill said. They are not considered suspects in Monday's armed robbery of the Walgreens pharmacy on River Street.
"We have a suspect in that robbery and hopefully we will soon have an arrest," Burrill said.
He said the suspect in the first Walgreens and Sovereign Bank robberies also is suspected of robbing a Sovereign Bank branch in Londonderry on Dec. 24.

Number of ratings 23 / Average Grade: B+ Submit a correction
The Syllabus is extremely Vague, there is no grading outline, and he does not give the percentages of our final grade of any assignment and not even the final.Overall there is a lot of reading but if you skim it you'll be fine. Just attend class and go by the outlines he gives you.
One of the hardest teachers at Emory University. He will break your writing style as if it were nothing and make you a better writer. Everyone should take him; he makes you want to be a better person.
One of the best professors at Emory, hands down. I will miss those discussions more than I ever thought I could, even when it meant reading all night before class.
Hist 185-00P
Dr. Allitt is an amazing professor, who truly allows students to think about the subject matter and analyze the historical contexts involved. His class is discussion-based, so be ready to complete the readings and participate. He is more than willing to help students during office hours, so make sure to visit him once during the semester.
Dr. Allitt is easily one of the best professors at Emory. I am so thankful to have had his class as a freshman, because of how much he taught me about writing, reading and studying well. He is not an easy grader,and i loved his emphasis on discussion. Take Allitt if you want to learn something!!
Amazing professor, recommend taking if you have any interest in history.
great lecturer, possibly the best at emory. on the other hand, he's pompous in a bad way, he believes that embarrassing students is an acceptable way to motivate, and he assigns unreasonable amounts of hw and work in general. so only take one of his classes if you truly wanna study and learn the subject...because you will if you take it
Really nice guy. Definitely knows what he is talking about. A little bit pompous sometimes, but not in a bad way because he deserves to be... he's really smart. Very approachable and loves to see you at office hours. Definitely not too hard of a grader.
Dr. Allitt is one of the best at Emory. He's not easy by any stretch, but he cares immensely about the subjects he teaches and his students. He pushes you to the limit in the best way. Be warned, however-- if you want to half-ass this class, don't even bother. If you're ready to do some work, you'll get one of the best at Emory.
This class is no easy ride. Allitt pushes you to the limits, and sometimes it is uncomfortable. Be ready for tons of reading, some more interesting than others. You MUST be prepared for this class in order to sound look lke a complete idiot. Allitt rarely gives A's, but his passion is infectious and you'll learn more than you realize.
I have had him for 3 classes, and he is easily one of the best teachers at Emory. He truly cares about the subject matter. Most important, though, is that his classes are not "easy." They are for people that actually want to learn, and are willing to put the appropriate work into it. I would recommend him to everyone.
I DID read his book, "I'm the Teacher, You're the Student" and found it to be about that which all teachers believe. If you want to get a passing grade for showing up, then skip his class. If you want to learn, and are willing to do the work to become an educated, productive member of our society, his class is for you.
History of Envi
Although strong in lecture, his attitude and poor regard for students is hard to overlook. He often talks down to students and his grading applies to items off topic. I found him to be rigid and cold. There is a lot of reading in his classes and SOME of the material is downright BORING. Proceed w/ caution. Class may negatively affect GPA.
US History
I wonder how many of these students have read Allitt's book "I'm the teacher, you're the student" in which he makes no secret of the fact that he considers the students at Emory to be morons.
Had him several years ago (I'm an alum). Found him very helpful and a great prof.
he's a good teacher but very difficult. He grades tougher on writing than English professors

Great lecturer. Smart-ass, pompous jerk also. Class is interesting unless you're the one he picks on. Quite delusional about the importance of his classes. Often meanders through a topic and only keeps students awake by randomly embarrassing them in front of the class.
Teach 12
Outstanding lecturer - synthesizes information from various sources in a superb manner with references to multiple books and primary source documents. Learned a great deal and came to understand even more.

This is a minor issue but I thought I'd report it nonetheless.
On http://www.forum.nokia.com/, at the top of the middle section of the page, if I select "Qt for Symbian Developers" and click the ">> Qt port for Symbian" link nothing happens. I tried it with IE8, Opera 10.5, Firefox 3.6 and Chrome 4.1. The link seems to point to the non-existent a.forum.nokia.com

Looks like I'll have to think of a different one when it's my turn sometime. (Assuming we each get to pick a theme every month.)

VAN ALSTYNE,TX--- In the wake of the Connecticut school shooting, students at Van Alstyne Middle School are trying to replace violence with kindness by joining a national campaign called Rachel's Challenge.
Signs of this campaign can be seen all over the school and students say after three years of being involved in the program, they've seen drastic changes.
Most students at the school don't have any memories of the tragedy that happened more than 13 years ago at Columbine High School, but that doesn't stop them from being deeply moved by the massacre's first victim Rachel Scott.
"This whole story, it really moved me and then I went online and looked at it and I became really interested in it," student Mackenzie Reid said.
Scott was known for having a compassionate and loving heart. In one of her journals she described kindness as a chain reaction. Ten years after her death, her dad created Rachel's Challenge in her honor. He says the program aims to replace school violence with kindness.
"It's showing not only support, but it's helping people to do good things," student Gage Proctor said.
Students say the program has created big changes at their school since it was first started.
"A lot of bullying has gone down in this school, it's like a perfect school now. We do things to show acts of kindness," student Kimball Daniels said.
Their acts can be seen throughout the school's halls.
"Everytime someone sees someone doing a good thing they will write it down. We are making a chain because chain reactions are when you see someone do a good deed and you want to do a good deed," student Carli Hopper said.
"When people are nice to others it gives you a good feeling and then you will be nice to someone else," Reid said.
The kind deeds aren't just for familiar faces. Students also try to make new classmates feel welcome when they walk through the halls instead of isolated.
"We know that when new students come to school they struggle and so we try to work and help new students when they come in," school counselor Cindy Crow said.
It hasn't gone unnoticed. One student says these acts of kindness have come full circle.
"When I came here, I was a new student in 5th grade. I was so grateful because I moved from a bigger school. Moving from a bigger to a smaller school, it's so different that I just didn't know what to do and Rachel's Challenge helped me a lot," Hopper said.
Scott's father says so far, the challenge has reached three million students nationwide and prevented seven school shootings. For more information on the program, you can go to the Rachel's Challenge website here.


text: I wear my teams loudly. Every teacher at my site knows I am an Eagles, Angels, and Irish fan. Today when news broke of the Puljos signing (and then the less impressive CJ Wilson) everyone was telling me to sign up for World Series tickets. I have seen this song and dance before. Back in August I was already planning for the division title and a deep playoff run come January. I have been repeatedly warning them all day to hold on....no guarantee,...look at my Birds.....so far to no avail. Here's hoping at least one of my "dream teams" does what it is supposed to.
