Responsibilities Formalized Under SAS 109
Understanding Risks Associated with
the Legal and Regulatory Environment
Lisa N. Bostick and Michael S. Luehlfing
the Entity and Its Environment
109 is grounded in the adage "you can't audit
what you don't understand." In this regard,
the SAS specifies that auditors should:
SAS 109 indicates that the auditor's understanding
of the entity and its environment extends beyond a basic
understanding of the accounting and financial aspects of
the entity. For example, the auditor must identify the risk
factors associated with the entity's operations, industry
conditions, regulatory environment, and so on (Exhibit
2) that might result in material misstatement of the
financial statements. Identifying risk factors provides
the auditor with information about the entity's susceptibility
of material misstatement resulting from issues such as:
addition to obtaining an understanding of the entity and
its environment, the auditor must also obtain an understanding
of the entity's internal controls. In this regard,
SAS 109 provides guidance in terms of the Committee of Sponsoring
Organizations' (COSO's) internal control framework
to assess the risk of material misstatement. The framework
has five components: control environment; risk assessment;
information and communication systems; control activities;
and monitoring. Additionally, the framework describes internal
control as a process designed to provide reasonable assurance
about achieving objectives related to the reliability of
financial reporting, the effectiveness and efficiency of
operations, and compliance with laws and regulations.
SAS 109 provides requirements and guidance on the auditor's
responsibilities with respect to each of these three objectives.
With respect to the reliability of financial reporting,
SAS 109 provides that generally the auditor is concerned
with the internal controls over the reliability of financial
reporting, including the management of risks that may result
in material misstatement of the financial statements. With
respect to the effectiveness and efficiency of operations,
SAS 109 recognizes that related controls are relevant to
an audit if the controls relate to information or data used
in applying audit procedures (e.g., controls pertaining
to nonfinancial data that the auditor may use in analytical
procedures, such as production statistics). Similarly, with
respect to compliance with laws and regulations, SAS 109
indicates that controls pertaining to detecting noncompliance
with laws and regulations that have a "direct and
material effect" on the financial statements—such
as controls over compliance with income tax laws and regulations
used in determining the income tax provision—may be
relevant to the audit.
while SAS 109 does not specifically address controls over
compliance with laws and regulations that have an "indirect
and material effect" on the financial statements,
SAS 109 does require procedures that would more likely than
not detect inadequate controls over compliance with such
laws and regulations. For example, SAS 109 indicates that
the auditor should inquire about:
in addition to the guidance in SAS 109, the guidance in
SAS 99 facilitates the auditor's ability to identify
and assess possible risks of material misstatement with
respect to the entity's noncompliance with laws and
regulations, whether direct or indirect.
54, Illegal Acts by Clients
1988, the AICPA issued SAS 54, Illegal Acts by Clients,
which provides guidance on the auditor's responsibility
for detecting illegal acts in the audits of financial statements.
SAS 54 classifies illegal acts as either those with a direct
effect on the financial statements or those with an indirect
effect. Those with a direct effect generally relate to the
financial and accounting aspects of an entity. Those with
an indirect effect generally relate to the operational aspects
of an entity. The auditor's responsibilities for considering
direct illegal acts are the same as for considering errors
and thus are delineated in SAS 99, whereas the auditor's
responsibilities for considering indirect illegal acts are
delineated in SAS 54.
auditor's responsibilities for considering indirect
illegal acts under SAS 54 are limited. SAS 54 stipulates
that auditors should be aware of the possibility that such
illegal acts may have occurred, they should make certain
inquires regarding compliance with laws and regulations,
and they should obtain management representations concerning
violations of laws and regulations that should be disclosed
in the financial statements. SAS 54 specifies that an auditor
provides no assurance that indirect illegal acts will be
and Regulations
SAS 99 (Exhibit
4) and SAS 109 (Exhibit
1) require an auditor to obtain knowledge about
an entity's business and the industry in which it
operates. Auditors should: 1) make inquiries of management
and others within the entity, such as employees with varying
levels of authority, operating personnel not directly involved
in the financial reporting process, employees involved in
initiating, recording, or processing complex or unusual
transactions, and in-house legal counsel; 2) consider any
unusual or unexpected relationships while performing analytical
procedures; 3) consider whether one or more fraud risk factors
exist; and 4) consider other information that may be helpful.
99 (Exhibit
4) and SAS 109 (Exhibit
1) provide specific inquiries that an auditor should
make to identify risk of material misstatement. Such inquiries
should enhance an auditor's ability to identify and
assess possible risks of material misstatement with respect
to the entity's noncompliance with laws and regulations,
whether direct or indirect. For example, auditors should
ask management and others within the entity (e.g., production,
marketing, sales, in-house legal counsel, and those charged
with governance) if they have knowledge of any violations
of laws and regulations. Specifically, the human resources
manager should be familiar with the Civil Rights Act, the
American Disabilities Act, and regulations regarding sexual
harassment; the production manager should be familiar with
the laws and regulations of OSHA and the EPA.
corroborate these inquiries and to obtain information about
other potential violations of laws and regulations, an auditor
must be cognizant of potential illegal acts while observing
the activities and operations of the entity; reviewing or
inspecting documents, records, and control manuals; and
visiting the entity's premises and plant facilities.
SAS 99 requires an auditor to evaluate whether an entity's
programs and controls to address risk situations have been
suitably designed and placed into operation. Understanding
such programs and controls (Exhibit
5) can enhance an auditor's ability to identify
and assess possible risks of material misstatement with
respect to an entity's noncompliance with laws and
regulations, whether direct or indirect. For example, programs
designed to create a culture of honesty and high ethics
should also deter violations of laws and regulations.

This party is dedicated to a little guy who loves shark. His mother wanted to celebrate his 6th birthday party at home by inviting only his close friends (mostly are boys) and relatives. They wanted the party to be intimate yet bright and fun for all, so we came up with an idea to incorporate "cute shark" with the element from "under the sea" for printables and dessert table. There was a small pool for the cute little guests, and girl's corner while the boys can play around the house. At the end of the party they watched movie together at the porch. It was a pleasure for us to see them having a great time. The birthday boy looked very happy circled by the loved ones on his birthday. Once again happy birthday Pasha!

Moroccan Inspired Table Setting for Hari Raya
Well it's officially my first post here as I have decided to join Kinderplays with Mba Junita, and we are so thrilled to expand this party planning business into broader market which will include table setting for bridal shower or baby shower. Design and décor have always been my passion since I was in college until now. So I'm glad I was given this opportunity by Kinderplays, one of the pioneer in this business.
Okay I assume that's enough for my short introduction. ;) Now I want to talk more about the inspiration for Lebaran table setting. Perhaps some of you are keen to celebrate Hari Raya in a unique way by adapting Moroccan style to the dining table, not just a classic white and green. I love how the bright colors and rich patterns are tied together in this theme. Fuchsia, orange, and gold are not common combination you can find everyday. But Camille Styles and her team were able to establish a stunningly harmonious setting. Low dining table made from an old door and vintage bed posts creates a less-formal ambience so family can lounge around during or after the meal. They also substitute the dining chair with floor cushions. Have a look at their amazing work. Pictures courtesy of She-n-He.

Outdoor Cinema party
It was many many years ago, when I and my hubbie watched the moonlight cinema under the stars during our honeymoon. We brought carpet and snacks, blanket, and sit comfortably over the green grass. It was something that I promised myself to do before I married to him. so when I see this party from Our Love in October, it has brought me back to that memory. We could grow old, but if we are aging with good memories, I am sure we are growing old gracefully:)) The dessert table in mind would popcorn with many flavours: Parmesan and thyme, cinnamon, spicy one, or sweet ones like caramel and/or cookies and cream. Bottles of sodas, ice cream and some other savouries snack

Little mermaid party
I have been missing for a while:) and I actually need to upload some new parties made by Kinderplays. I can't seem to find times to write on my blog, and but well, now I will get some help from a friend and she will be my co-partner in this party planning business. Let me announce it in another post. Meanwhile, this party was came across when I did some searching on my upcoming birthday theme. I like the color pallete, which I think somehow different from the original story. But that is what I like the most. The little Mermaid theme has a twist of Luau, Hawaiian colour pallet and the dominant white colour just bring the colours out even brighter. Created by Natalie from EventsbyNat via Amy Atlas. I think she has the ability to transform the most loved Disney character into something different, without loosing the character image on the table. Let's have a look!

At the start of 2013 we hit the ground running with many great activities so far! Though we still have a lot of our young polar adventurers and scientists currently on the field to continue their work in the austral summer, we are preparing for more exciting events in the near future.
In January we participated in the Arctiic Frontiers meeting in Tromso, Norway where APECS co-hosted a reception with the Fram Center! We had a successful turnout with facilitating meetings with young researchers and scientists with our popular polar bingo (Polingo) games. I had the opportunity to attend the Young Scienctist Forum workshop where we learned several great tips on how to develop a successful proposal. Through these activities we brought in more enthusiastic APECS members who were excited to share some of their great ideas with us.
In February 2013, we got a chance to attend the Climate and Cryosphere (CliC) 9th Steering Group meeting in Postdam, Germany. We introduced APECS to the CliC community and discussed how our group of young scientists can help to move the CliC international intiatives forward. For more information on the outcome of this meeting and to continue to follow along with our activities, please go to: http://www.climate-cryosphere.org/.
We had successful Council and Research Activites (RAC) and Membership Involvement (MIC) meetings. Through these discussions our RAC chair, Heather Marish, as well as our Council members will create a Research Highlights resource for our members. This will be a great way to showcase current science publications from our members. The APECS. Research Highlights is a way to bring cutting edge science to a public space and highlight the fantastic research that fellow Polar scientists are involved in! More on this to come. Our MIC meeting, led by Ines Tavernier and Dagmar Obbels, included a lot of enthusiastic Council members wanting to include an additional webinar to provide more information on our APECS National Commitees (NC), strategies on how to initiated cross-border activities with several NC's at a time , as well as, implement a webinar focus in the Southern Hemisphere with the help of our APECS Asia and Oceania group.
Currently, we are preparing for our APECS workshop at the Arctic Science Summit Week (ASSW) where we will teach young researchers important skills and create new collaborations with both early career colleagues and senior mentors. For more information, please go to: http://www.apecs.is/...vents/assw-2013. Additionally, we will organize a workshop at the Davos Atmosphere and Cryosphere Assembly in July 2013. For more information, please go to: http://www.daca-13.org/index_EN
As always, if you have any questions or ideas, you can contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com
The warmest greetings from Delaware, USA!

Rated 5 out of 5?by boothang Great place to live I think this is a nice place to live. Most of the tenants are decent and respectable. The noise level is usually kept to a minimum. The indoor and outdoor pools are nice too. September 13, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5?by bhines820 RETURN OF SECURITY DEPOSIT - NOT HAPPY AT ALL!!! First, I will admit that for the price, it is what it is! After giving my 30 day notice as required, I moved out when my lease was up. I cleaned my apartment from top to bottom, thoroughly. I expected to lose $95 of my security deposit: $75 for a professional carpet cleaning (ha-ha) and $20 for 4 drip pans. My apartment was a 2-bedroom Townhouse. I spent 95% of my time upstairs. I am a single 60 yr old woman. Long story short this company took over half of my security deposit for what they claim is for replacement of the living room carpet- $220(for stains that their carpet man says they would not be able to remove) plus an additional $30 for cleaning other rooms. The "professionals" did not try to clean it according to the Property Manager. "They looked at it and reported that it had to be replaced." With that info, this company returned to me $245 of my $495 security deposit. After speaking with the Property Manager and not being satisfied, I attempted to get the owner's contact info only to be told that "any matters to be discussed would be handled by the Property Manager because he is the TOP DOG and that is who I would have to deal with."

Rated 4 out of 5?by Kesha Very Pleased My husband and I recently relocated to Ft. Wayne from Wisconsin and were looking for a place that was centrally located and a great price. Overall Ft. Wayne's cost of living is fantastic compared to what we are used to. We are very pleased with the staff from Colony Bay, from the maintenance to the office staff, everyone is very kind and willing to help however they can. Although the property is older, and of course with age, comes some flaws that are structural and can not be fixed. However, it is nothing major or that should deter you from considering this property as your potential home. There are a number of amenities available that are great for kids as well as adults: Indoor pool, outdoor pool, clubhouse and fitness center are just a few of the great things that Colony Bay has to offer. One of the things that really attracted us was the property itself. It is HUGE! Making plenty of space to explore and have fun. The only down side I would have to say is that there is no laundry facilities on the first floor of the apartment buildings (just second, third, and fourth (if applicable)) and the bathroom has only one outlet that is on the underside of the vanity. Other than those small features we are VERY pleased and would recommend Colony Bay to anyone! August 21, 2013

Rated 5 out of 5?by jetta love living here Great value and floor plans are excellent. Great parking and clean laundry rooms. March 23, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5?by Grateful&Satisfied Grateful and Satisfied I am grateful for this opportunity to live at Colony Bay Apartments; perfect for this season of my life. The price is incredible in light of the market rents for apartment living. I have a great view, perfect amount of space for 1 and my 2 cats. Apartment managers are awesome at their jobs and very accommodating. Maintenance is fast, efficient, and respectful of space. Fitness facility and pool(s) are a huge bonus. Neighbors are usual folk with no-hassle shared living. Laundry is easy to use and available at reasonable times. Great location for access to shopping, gasoline, and eateries. March 7, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5?by Notimpressed Save yourself from this pathetic apartment complex This place is terrible. My wife and I cant wait to move. Snow removal is pathetic, as well as taking care of the grounds. Employees speed through the parking lots all the time and park on sidewalks. Their excuse of a laundry facility is appalling. We have swam in the indoor pool once and that was one to many times. Chunks of hair were in the pool. All in all i rue the day we moved into this place! March 5, 2013

Afraid of Heights? - Route 1 from San Simeon to Santa Cruz
So we just got back from our first California adventure!
Universal Hollywood
Drive up the 1, stop in San Simeon
Drive up to San Jose - Winchester House
San Francisco.
It was on this trip that I realized who in our party of 8 was afraid of heights. Suffice it to say there was a moderate amount of white knuckles and panic while driving up route 1. It was also foggy, so it looked like the end of the world up there. Pretty though.
Uh yeah, probably a good thing to ask of your travel party beforehand :rotfl: Sorry you weren't properly warned. Hwy 1 down the Big Sur coast is my favorite drive in the world. It's such a privilege to live so close to it!
It's a little less scary going north! Unless there is a spot where the road is worn away! Or a boulder has fallen into the road! Seriously, this has happened.:scared1:
Ok I read the title and got scared! Yes I'm afraid of heights, we're taking Amtrak from Anaheim to San Luis Obispo, and then spending a couple of nights there, the day after we get there we're renting a car and driving up to San Simeon. Is this the area you are refering to that is scary? I don't mind driving along narrow roads, as long as it's not so close you can see straight down!!
Oh good, thanks! Where is Cambria, is it close to San Simeon? I've heard it's a great little town..
You can also take hwy 101 to get to these places. The coastal route is gorgeous though but more hair raising going south for sure!
One of the few times that being stuck behind the slow poke RV is not such a bad thing.
Southbound is way worse than North bound
How scary is the drive southbound from San Francisco to Big Sur? Or is it worse south of Big Sur down the coast?
Big Sur to San Simeon is gorgeous but (its been many many years so if it has changed I am unaware) single undivided lanes, on the edge of the cliffs, twisty & windy
Thank you for your advice. We plan on following the coast from San Francisco to Big Sur then take Interstate 5 down to Anaheim to save some time. Does anyone have a better way to get to Anaheim from Big Sur/Monterey area?
Your last chance to get off highway 1 before the Big Sur coast is at Monterey. Take CA 68 west to Salinas, then US 101 south all the way down to LA. Beware of the speed trap at King City; slow down to the limit for 5 miles before and 5 miles after King City. Other than that, you're golden.
For a slightly faster, and certainly more boring, route, assuming you're coming down Highway 1 from SF to Santa Cruz, you can try the following. Exit 1 at the Main St Watsonville exit (CA 152). Follow it through town (notice the beautiful historic Catholic church on your right). When you're almost out of town, turn left on CA 129 (Burger King, just before the bridge). Take 129 about 10 miles to US 101. Go south on 101 for just a couple of miles. Exit on CA 156 east. Follow the 156 bypass around Hollister (i.e., don't go into Hollister, unless you're curious about the town where The Wild Ones with Marlon Brando was shot). 156 ends when it dumps into CA 152. Continue east on CA 152 over Pacheco pass. A few miles on the other side of the pass, you can pick up Interstate 5 south, which you'll take all the way to DLR.
This is all my neck of the woods. It's actually easier than it sounds. Or you can rely on your GPS ;)

In this video segment adapted from A Science Odyssey, learn what led British researcher Alexander Fleming to the chance discovery of antibacterial properties of a mold extract he later named penicillin. After treating World War I battlefield casualties, Fleming began searching for compounds that would ward off infections in humans. Returning from vacation in the summer of 1928, he noticed that mold was partly covering one of the agar plates in which he had been growing bacteria, and that the mold inhibited bacterial growth. Fleming determined that the mold possessed properties that could kill bacteria cells without harming human blood cells.
This media asset was adapted from the A Science Odyssey: Matters of Life and Death.
In 1928, British researcher Alexander Fleming unexpectedly discovered penicillin, the active ingredient in a mold that has potent infection-fighting abilities. At the time, Fleming determined that the penicillin was too unstable to work with. However, within 10 years, the Oxford team of Howard Florey and Ernst Chain was able to successfully purify a form of penicillin in sufficient concentration to offer therapeutic value in the treatment of human disease. With the help of the British government, Florey and Chain used a beer-brewing technology to produce the quantities of moldy liquor needed for large-scale penicillin production. When demand outstripped their production capacity, Florey went to the United States to establish mass-production agreements with U.S. pharmaceutical companies.
On the World War II battlefield, penicillin helped wounded soldiers stave off fatal infections. Off the battlefield, the drug helped defeat many ailments that had tormented civilization through the ages, including syphilis, gangrene, scarlet fever, and tuberculosis. Penicillin was the first antibiotic to be used to treat or cure disease.
Antibiotics help the body fight bacterial infections by interfering in the development of the bacteria's cell wall. Penicillin does not harm cell walls already made. But it does affect newly forming cells created through binary fission during cell reproduction. Cell walls are incredibly strong because long polymer strings are cross-connected with one another and held together with a special enzyme called transpeptidase. Penicillin blocks this enzyme from acting. While the long polymer strings will still be made, they cannot be cross-connected to one another when penicillin is present. This results in a cell wall that is very weak in spots, and is unable to contain the growth of the cell membrane. Without a rigid cell wall to constrain its growth, a bacteria cell continues to grow until its outer membrane stretches and ruptures, killing the cell.
Humans and other animals do not have cell walls, so penicillin is not harmful to human or animal cells. For the same reason, antibiotics are not effective in the treatment of viral infections. However, a few types of bacteria lack cell walls. These bacteria are immune to antibiotics like penicillin for the same reasons humans and animals are. And because humans have used penicillin so often since its discovery, there are many strains of bacteria that do have cell walls but have developed a resistance to it. Through natural selection, these species have effectively changed their wall-building systems so that penicillin has no effect.

Fat Loss For Women Weight Loss
Good Diets Weight Loss
They are a simple and effortless way to lose weight. Most weight loss plans often ask you to change to heavy exercising schedules or stern diet plans making it difficult for you to lose weight. Diet pills, on the other hand, offer you a far easier route to weight loss. Just pop a pill and you are done.
Best Weight Loss Aid
The third and final supplement that I m going to mention in this article is L-Carnitine. The leading and most important role Carnitine plays in the body is the oxidation, or better known as Burning, Melting off, or even in some circle dissolving of fat Naturally! After the fat is oxidized it s used for a natural source of energy. I m a huge fan of L-Carnitine, I ve been taking it regularly for many years.
Water And Weight Loss
Exercise#2- Push ups
Cranberry Juice - Pure cranberry juice is a natural fat flushing drink. It must be 100% pure cranberry juice without anything added. (Check the label, you might be surprised.)
4.) Do you take any prescription drugs or have allergies caused by certain foods that could come into play when deciding on the right fatty liver diet plan for you?
Quick Weight Loss Program
Also, these 10 glasses of water come out to be 0.625 gallon or 2.37 liters. If you are physically active, you are almost guaranteed to drink more than that. So for instance if you drank a gallon a day for an entire year, that would mean you could burn off almost 14 pounds of fat!
Smoked salmon is a great food for many reasons, the first of which is, of course, taste. The rich and decadent flavors or smoked salmon are sure to knock your socks off, especially after years of dry and artificial tasting diet food. It tastes like it should be bad for you, but it s not! In fact, a three ounce portion of smoked salmon has less calories than the same portion of chicken! Smoked salmon is also packed with omega three fatty acids, important for heart health. This all adds up to a great tasting smoked salmon diet.

Trailer for 2012 – Watch more Funny VideosRoland Emmerich and Michael Bay should have an explosion war. Both of them get a sick kick out of blowing up monuments, landmarks, and national treasures. In fact, they even blow up the same icons in several different movies. Why not just go back in time and punch Betsey Ross in the kidney while she's sewing the stars and stripes on the American Flag? Or better yet, have the Red Coats crash a tidal wave down on top of her. Maybe Emmerich can work that into a redux of the The Patriot. Until then, we can watch John Cusack and a motley cast of other recognizable faces outrun the end of the world much like the characters do in The Day After Tomorrow and Independence Day.
Today we received this outtake of Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert whipping sh*t on each other in between takes of their old show, "Siskel & Ebert At The Movies." I'd date this clip from about 1987, given that they're trying to get through an intro about Robocop. But they don't get through it because Siskel flubs a line. Then Ebert makes fun of Siskel's tongue-tied delivery, and then Siskel unleashes a merciless stream of fat jokes. C'mon Siskel. Fat jokes are a low blow. Then again, so is brain cancer. Good one, God.

Teen Wolf, the family-friendly cautionary tale from the 80s, could be informing a new generation of pubescents about the perils of hairy palms. Or rather, the totally awesome benefits. According to MovieHole.com, Warner Brothers is currently out to writers to update the 1985 hit starring Alex P. Keaton, a.k.a. The Fox. Apparently the execs aren't certain which way they're going to go tonally. We've already seen the high-concept comedy version, so I say they deliver a dark melodrama. Drugs, sex, violence, and attempted suicide. It'll be like a Bret Easton Ellis novel, but with fur.

At 43, we simply felt he just wasn't pulling his weight…and besides…detox is something NOBODY has to be ashamed of anymore. With dad in isolation and Father's Day coming up we thought we'd relive some of our most heart-wrencing, tender and sometimes hilarious father/son conversations…from the movies. To be honest our real conversations were kind of creepy. Here are the best from the big screen:
Those two crazy cats are at it again. Tom Cruise and J.J. Abrams have decided to bring Ethan Hunt back for a fourth round of explosions, high-wire acts, and elaborate MacGuffins. According to Variety, Sumner Redstone and Cruise are in the process of mending fences so they can play in the same Paramount sandbox again. It's amazing how the prospect of money heals all wounds. As far as Abrams' involvement, he's not attached to direct this installment of M.I. because he's working on a kickass sequel to his kickass Star Trek reboot. But hopefully soon enough we'll again be hearing Cruise scream "Red light! Green light!" as specks of spittle fly from his mouth.
The trailer for The Stepfather remake (or is it reimagining?) hit the web today, and it sets a tone not unlike other horror/slasher movie trailers. Expect quick cuts and flash frames to raise the tension, and Amber Heard in a bikini to raise, well… The film basically follows the premise of the original except this time the kid is a boy, he has younger siblings, and his soon-to-be stepfather is the guy from Nip/Tick and not the guy from Lost. Oh, and Amber Heard is in a bikini.Today's Top Links: Melissa Rogers At Work And Play (GorillaMask) 8 More Accurate College Mascots (HolyTaco) Adam Sandler In More Fake Movies (FilmDrunk) The 10 Dumbest Moments In Wheel Of Fortune History (Manofest) The Most Badass Toothbrush Travel Case Ever (Walyou) A Bride Of Frankenstein Remake Might Happen (Pajiba) 5 Celebrity Careers Launched By Ethnic Makeovers (Cracked) Guide To The Girls Of Summer '09 (CoedMagazine) Diego Sanchez Talks About Getting A Title Shot (CagePotato) Pixely Awesome Videogame Blankets (UnrealityMag) Obama And Other Dudes Awesome Enough To Kill Flies (Asylum) Tim Tebow Is A Fan Of The Olive Garden (BustedCoverage) 5 Funny Movie Characters Who Are Unintelligible (Uncoached) 8 Inventions From The Year 2019 (RegretfulMorning) Father's Day Gifts: Food And Drink Edition (BachelorGuy) 2009-2010 College Football Bowl Schedule (MoondogSports) Nascar-Themed Summer Blockbusters (AllLeftTurns)
THE HURT LOCKER examines the dangerous duties of three members of the Army's Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) squad. Bombs are their business, and they know their business extremely well. They have to because each roadside stop could mean their lives. Stars Jeremy Renner, Anthony Mackie, and Brian Geraghty, director Kathryn Bigelow and writer Mark Boal broke down for us how you tackle a movie about an elite unit that goes in when everyone else is running away. It's as meticulous a task as disarming an IED (That's an Improvised Explosive Device for you civilians).
According to Deadline Hollywood Daily, Michael Bay really pissed off some devoted fans in Seoul. They were waiting in the rain for over two hours for Bay's arrival at the Transformers 2 premiere, and he showed up late with Shia LeBeouf and Megan Fox in tow. Rumor has it he didn't even bring a corsage, kept reminiscing about his ex girlfriend, and seemed completely ignorant to the fact that fans had been looking forward to the event for weeks. After the premiere, fans spent the rest of the night sobbing into their pillows and wishing the whole night had never happened. Bay tried to save some face by issuing a formal apology, but that's not going to stop the kids in the cafeterias and cubicles from snickering at the Transformer's fans' misfortune.
George Simmons in "Re-Do" from Justin LongThis clip from a movie inside a movie features Adam Sandler playing George Simmons as Craig the workaholic in the high-concept comedy Re-Do. In an effort to start over, a wizard turns Craig into a baby with an adult head. I don't know who this wizard is but I certainly hope he gets his wizard license revoked for such blatant and inexcusable wizard malpractice. I guess we'll never know since the film isn't really real. And just in case you're interested in purchasing the first season of 'Yo Teach' you can get it at the NBC Store.

WHITEOUT Trailer – Watch more Funny Videos Above is the new trailer for Whiteout, starring Kate Beckinsale and Gabriel Macht (The Spirit). The film is based on the Eisner Award-winning graphic novel of the same name written by Greg Rucka (available from Oni Press). Not sure what to think about this yet. At about the 1:30 mark, the trailer totally shifts gears from an action-adventure flick to a murder mystery, when Macht reveals to Beckinsale that "this is the first murder in Antarctica." I think Macht is forgetting the grisly gun down of Polar Bear Face Nelson in the 1920s. There's enough fish in the ocean. No need for bear on bear crime. Just sad, really.
People may not be aware that Harold Ramis was the Judd Apatow of the 1980s. In addition to his landmark acting roles in Ghostbusters and Stripes, he penned and directed some of the all-time greatest comedies – National Lampoon's Vacation and Caddyshack (just to name a couple). Judd Apatow, on the other hand, has had just as much influence on the producing side, and it's his role there that teams him up with Ramis on the Jack Black and Michael Cera history vehicle Year One (opening Friday).

Today, JustJared.com posted several images of Russell Crowe on the set of Ridley Scott's new Robin Hood flick. Above, Crowe (playing Robin Hood) drives Scott Grimes (playing Will Scarlet) in a Mule 9010. This is from the scene in which Robin and his Merry Men take a break from stealing from the rich for a round of golf cart polo, set to Kenny Loggins music. Good for team building.See some more pics after the jump.

It's like Michael Bay's homage to Batteries Not Included.

So you think there are too many remakes in Hollywood? At least remakes know what they're supposed to be. Some movies use the same titles just hoping nobody remembers there was a completely different movie by the same name.After over 100 years of film, some titles were bound to double or triple up.Screen Junkies takes a look back on eight select titles and how long it took for each marquee mnemonic to produce a memorable movie. (That's alliteration, homes.)

With Dead Snow opening this weekend, we realized that there is nothing more terrifying than a Nazi Zombie. It would take the combined efforts of Indiana Jones and David Hasselhoff to strike down such a foe. And there's no way those guys are willing to stand together. It also made us think of the variety of zombies we've seen throughout film and television history. Here are a select few ranked from loveable to sinister.CLICK IMAGE TO ENLARGE– MATT SEARS Other Junk You Might Like:Six Degrees of Ramis & Apatow
Zach Galifianakis is sittin' pretty once more after this weekend.As Jeffrey Tambor said to him and Justin Bartha in The Hangover, "Never leave when you're on a heater." Well, The Hangover's heater continues, as it took top spot once more with an estimated $33.4 million. The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 opened up at #3, disappointing for the studio, but in line with Screen Junkies readers' predictions. Eddie Murphy's Imagine That opened with a paltry $5.7 million and the #6 spot. Sadly, this probably means Norbit 2 has been fast tracked. This Weekend's Top Five:1. The Hangover ($33.4 million)2.

Teaser for Michael Moores UNTITLED BAIL OUT DOCUMENTARY – Watch more Funny VideosThe new teaser for Michael Moore's Untitled Bailout Documentary has arrived, and it doesn't give too much away, other than Michael Moore's angry again. "Angry Moore" is really evident here. He breaks out his classic sarcastic Moore voice, bringing his pitch up an octave while gently coaxing the audience to bend over for the banks. "This time it's personal" reads the text at the end of the trailer. This time, I believe it. Kudos to Moore's marketing team for borrowing the tagline from Jaws 4: The Revenge. [via The Playlist]
Fifty Dead Men Walking Trailer – Watch more Movie TrailersAbove is the trailer for the new thriller, 50 Dead Men Walking, based on a true story. Jim Sturgess plays Martin, a guy from west Belfast in the late 1980s who is recruited by the British Police to spy on the IRA. He works his way up the ranks as a volunteer for the IRA whilst feeding information to his British handler and saving lives in the process; until one day he is exposed, captured and tortured to within an inch of his life. He escaped dramatically by throwing himself from a tower block window and is still in hiding today. Hopefull the movie isn't completely true, or else I just ruined a key plot point.

The new music video – or "clip" – for Linkin Park's "New Divide" from the Transformers Revenge of the Fallen soundtrack was released – or "dropped" – on myspace today. You can check it out after the jump. It has a few shots from the film that many of us haven't seen – or "peeped" – yet, including some shots of what looks like Bumblebee fighting Ravage. In traditional soundtrack music video fashion, the film moments are intercut with shots of the band performing. And it's Linkin Park, so the whole thing's like a giant battle to see who can out-melodramatize the other. Lyrics are also posted after the jump. What they have to do with GIANT F**KING ROBOTS is anyone's guess.
BY THE ANVIL OF CROM! Usually, news about a guy who's made a career out of directing remakes is not very exciting; it's kind of annoying. The knock on them is obvious: they're never as good as the source material, and they're usually flashy flicks that lack substance. That's what makes this piece of news so darned interesting. It was announced that Marcus Nispel, the guy who remade both The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday the Thirteenth, is on board to direct a remake of Conan. Yeah, it's a lackluster little bit of information but it's good news. Why? Because now we know Brett Ratner isn't touching the movie any more.
In an interview with Marketsaw – a blog devoted entirely to 3D filmmaking – Steve Schklair, the CEO of 3ality Digital Systems claims that Lord of the Rings helmer Peter Jackson will be shooting all of his directorial efforts using 3ality's technologies. You can read the whole article at Marketsaw. Sites like ScreenRant suggest that Jackson's devotion to 3D from now on will help shift exhibitors over to the 3Dark Side, which they have been reluctant to do because of retrofitting costs and the lack of 3D movies. Personally, I'm a fan of 3D technology, from the the way UP used it organically in the story to the stuff that's used shamelessly by films like My Bloody Valentine 3D. Part of me wishes Drag Me to Hell had been in 3D. Some of the film's shock moments are perfect for the third dimension. Here's hoping that Jackson considers going into his back catalogue and 3D-ifies flicks like Meet the Feebles and Dead Alive. I can't think of a more visceral theatrical experience than an AIDs-ridden rabbit vomiting forth upon the audience in the movie theater and the audience in the film.

In general, when it's time to kick some ass, it's time to kick some ass. Forget what you're wearing and get ready to rumble. This philosophy has been adopted throughout the entire history of cinema, the most recent example being seen in last weekend's #1 film, The Hangover. Above: Mr Chow (Ken Jeong) makes a balls-out attack on Phil (Bradley Cooper). Chow's balls are fully out in the theatrical release. But what about other scenes, guys who find themselves fighting in outfits that strike us today as either ridiculous or insanely awesome, or most likely, both? Superheroes, of course, would be cheating, because we all know they almost always look nuts cleaning up the city in their plastic nipples and oversized codpieces.

I've seen the film and when put in the full context of the story, even this little dialogue piece is tense. I kept thinking Renner's character was gonna get the sh*t chewed out of him by Morse for being a loose cannon. Turns out Morse's character's a bit of a wildman himself, I guess.

Houston To Get Help For Housing Market With Wells Fargo 'NeighborhoodLIFT' Homebuyer Event And Home Preservation Workshop
Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE: WFC), one of America's leading community banks and the nation's largest home mortgage lender, today announced help coming for the Houston housing market with Wells Fargo's fifth NeighborhoodLIFT SM market, on May 11 and 12 at the George R. Brown Convention Center, as it collaborates with officials from the City of Houston and non-profit organizations on helping the city overcome the effects of the country's housing crisis. In addition, Wells Fargo will host its 62 nd Home Preservation Workshop, and second in Houston, at the Reliant Center on May 17 to assist customers facing financial hardships with solutions to avoid foreclosure.
The NeighborhoodLIFT SM program has been designed to help communities attract qualified, prospective homebuyers to neighborhoods struggling with high inventories of unsold homes. In Houston, this will include a five-year goal of $3 billion in mortgage purchase loans by Wells Fargo, and a $9 million investment the bank is making this year for down payment assistance grants and homebuyer support programs that help consumers achieve successful, sustainable home ownership.
Wells Fargo chose Houston as its fifth market for the NeighborhoodLIFT SM program based on the city's high concentrations of homeowners, foreclosures, delinquencies, and overall housing inventory. Similar criteria resulted in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Phoenix, and Las Vegas becoming the program's first markets. Two-day NeighborhoodLIFT SM events, held in each city in February and March, helped 893 prospective homebuyers qualify for down payment assistance reservations totaling up to more than $20 million.
"Though no one program will re-stabilize housing markets, the positive reception of the NeighborhoodLIFT program in Los Angeles, Atlanta, Phoenix, and Las Vegas encouraged us to expand this effort to Houston," said Jon Campbell, Wells Fargo's head of Social Responsibility. "As America's largest mortgage lender, Wells Fargo knows there are Americans who want to take advantage of today's great home values and historically low interest rates, but do not because of barriers to home ownership, such as affording a down payment. We hope this effort helps those aspiring to successful home ownership, and communities seeking to recover from the worst housing downturn in a generation."At the May 11 and 12 NeighborhoodLIFT SM event in Houston, prospective homebuyers can participate in affordable home tours of residential properties for sale in the city and will be able to apply for down payment assistance grants of up to $15,000 administered by NeighborWorks America affiliate, Avenue Community Development Corporation, through grants from the Wells Fargo Foundation. How to register for the NeighborhoodLIFT SM event Walk-ins are welcome, but registration is strongly recommended in order to guarantee the ability to meet one-on-one with a representative. Prospective homebuyers can sign-up to attend the event by Wednesday, May 9 at www.neighborhoodlift.com. For more information call 1-866-858-2151. Requirements for the NeighborhoodLIFT SM program down payment assistance grants include income and owner-occupied home specifications including not exceeding 120 percent of local median income; an eight-hour homebuyer education session with the approved NeighborWorks America affiliate; a commitment to stay in the home for five years and qualification for a first mortgage on the property. Representatives from Avenue Community Development Corporation and the City of Houston will be on site to help with the processing of applications for grants and other services. "With the Houston economy beginning to show signs of positive change, now is the perfect time for people to experience the American dream of home ownership," said Houston Mayor Annise Parker. "We are looking forward to collaborating with Wells Fargo, NeighborWorks America, and Avenue Community Development Corporation on this important sustainable housing effort that will make that dream happen for hundreds of families through down payment assistance and other educational opportunities." "This is a tremendous commitment by Wells Fargo to support homeowners and communities," said Eileen Fitzgerald, chief executive officer of NeighborWorks America, the national non-profit collaborating with Wells Fargo on NeighborhoodLIFT SM . "This is the kind of public-private collaboration that can help communities tackle difficult challenges and families realize their goal of sustainable home ownership." Next Wells Fargo Home Preservation Workshop set for May 17 at the Reliant Center In addition to the Houston NeighborhoodLIFT SM homebuyer event on May 11-12, Wells Fargo will host its 62 nd Home Preservation Workshop at the Reliant Center on Thursday, May 17 from 9 a.m. – 7 p.m. The upcoming workshop is for Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, Wells Fargo Financial, and Wells Fargo Home Equity customers facing financial hardships. Wells Fargo held its first Houston Home Preservation Workshop in November 2011 when the company's home preservation specialists met with 389 customers seeking assistance. Wells Fargo has invited about 5,000 mortgage customers in the Houston area to the free workshop. Parking is free.
