Cape Town - Police have been asked to investigate a second complaint of corruption against Willie Hofmeyr, the head of both the asset forfeiture unit (AFU) and the special investigating unit (SIU), the National Prosecuting Authority confirmed on Sunday.
NPA spokesperson Mthunzi Mahaga said the national director of public prosecutions (Menzi Simelane) called in the police after billionaire Dave King levelled the allegations against Hofmeyr.
"Dave King wrote to us and complained about corruption. We referred it to the police," Mahaga told Sapa.
"I think they have opened a docket."
Mahaga said the NPA was unable to investigate King's claims because it no longer had an investigative arm following the demise of the Scorpions.
"We have no investigative capacity or mandate. So that is why the national director referred it to the police."
Mahaga was confirming a report in the Sunday Times.
The newspaper quoted Hofmeyr as protesting his innocence and saying he believed senior prosecutors would have probed King's claims instead of the police.
"If I believed I had done anything wrong I would have offered to resign my position or asked to be placed on suspension.
Plea deal
"However, I strongly believed that there was no substance in the complaint and was reinforced in my view by an opinion from a senior counsel."
King's complaints reportedly relate to a request by the AFU that the billionaire withdraw complaints against the unit as a part of a plea deal on myriad of charges against him, including tax evasion.
Police are already investigating another charge against Hofmeyr, based on a complaint by a member of the National Health, Education and Allied Workers Union (Nehawu)..
It relates to the alleged misappropriation of SIU funds and the alleged flouting of supply chain and procurement procedures in the awarding of a tender to refurbish the unit's offices in Pretoria.
Of that case, Hofmeyr has said he was confident of a fair and speedy investigation despite the "nasty" allegations and hinted that it was an attempt to discredit him because of his work in fighting serious corruption.
The Sunday Times portrayed the two charges as part of a campaign by Simelane to undermine Hofmeyr and the AFU. The newspaper said an investigation against the KwaZulu-Natal head of the AFU, Knorx Molelle, was linked to the fight for control of the unit.
Mahaga confirmed that Molelle, who is involved in the politically sensitive Intaka case implicating senior ANC officials in the province, was being investigated but declined to give further details at this stage.
The Democratic Alliance's justice spokesperson Dene Smuts said Hofmeyr's integrity was beyond doubt and the investigations were a bid to intimidate him, akin to recent reports of a police probe against Public Protector Thuli Madonsela.
Her party would ask Parliament's portfolio committee on justice to come to his aid.
"We will encourage the Parliamentary justice committee to use its considerable powers under the NPA Act to scrutinise the NDPP's performance and to stop any attempt to drive Hofmeyr out of office."
Smuts said she believed anonymous sources who told the press that Simelane wanted to shut the AFU down because this was clear in his five-year strategic plan presented to Parliament last year.
She recalled that Simelane also recently told Hofmeyr to choose between running the AFU or the SIU.
Hofmeyr appeared to have secured political backing for keeping both jobs.
Smuts said: "No-one need doubt that the referral to the police of a complaint by Dave King about allegedly improper plea bargain arrangements, together with a Nehawu criminal charge, is the latest instalment in long-running attempts to neutralise and get rid of Willie Hofmeyr.
"It can in addition be no coincidence that police charges occur at the same time as the harassment of the public protector."
Hofmeyr could not be reached for comment.
A corruption complaint coming from Dave King is rich indeed!!
Who investigates the investigators? The corrupt ANC does, that's who.
Maybe Semelane should be investigated, methinks he protesteth too much
Semelane is a COMRADE.... and he is so TIGHT up Zuma's RECTUM, that he knows what Zuma had for Breakfast!
@Creeky, LOL.
This country is rapidly moving towards thug status. The rot started when Zuma didn't have his day in court. This sent a message to all that corruption is OK. Now we are seeing that whoever investigates corruption has a not so subtle message sent to them.
It is amazing that when a crook like Dave King makes a false statement the police investigates it, instead of asking the crook to produce the evidence like he would ask when investigated.
Go Willie, take the bastard down.
This is what happens when incompetent cadres are put in positions of power....
Typical new age politics that found its roots with Bush. If you kind find dirt on a clean guy, you manufacture dirt. They are too stupid to realise that when you play with mud, most of it sticks to yourself.
These ANC clowns will stop at nothing just to get their snouts in the trough!!! even if it means fabricating corruption charges to intimidate corruptiuon busters. Zooma must account for all the shenigans going on, bloody corrupt scumbag!!!!!!!!!

Introducing "24 Hours in…," a new series to the Alex and Ani blog. We have retail locations in so many great cities that we thought it would be fun to send our Corporate Historian, Cyd McKenna, out on the road to check them out and report back about where to eat, shop, hang out, and of course, get your positive energy fix at the Alex and Ani store!
This month, Cyd visited our new store in Charlottesville, VA. Read on to find out why we love Charlottesville!
Last weekend, I had a chance to check out Charlottesville, VA, home to one of our newest Alex and Ani stores. It was a full moon, an eclipse no less, and according to lunar astrology, it was all about balance, focusing on what's working, and pushing ahead with change. What an exciting time to be out on the road!
My first stop was Alex and Ani where the bartender, Isabella, told me how much people loved the new Light and Ignite candle collection! These candles are amazing and since they come in travel size, I bought one to light in my hotel room – Path of Life, of course, to help me get through the intense full moon. Getting grounded was definitely on my itinerary!
Candle tucked safely in my bag, I headed to the UVA campus area in search of Crozet Pizza at Buddhist Biker Bar. The theme of the weekend was balance after all, and nothing says balanced like a pizza/Buddhist/Biker spot. I sat outside and had a "Capone" pizza with fresh mozzarella, tomatoes and basil, and it was good, certainly enough to satisfy this Providence girl's palate, since we kind of think we invented pizza up on Federal Hill!
The next day I headed back to the university area for breakfast at the Pigeon Hole. I had the Fancy French Toast that included warm spiced apples, crumb topping and whipped cream. Hello Fall…yum!
Breakfast of Champions? Yes.
A little later, I set out for my first college football game ever – UVA versus Duke. I was amazed at how many people were in the town square mulling around before the game, but was equally amazed at the fact nearly every single girl I saw was wearing tall brown boots of all kinds. Cowboy boots, riding boots, minimalist boots, distressed boots, you name it. If they were brown and went above the mid calf, these girls had them on!
Very cute! I will have to try this when I get home.
All this people watching had me dizzy, so I bolted to get some coffee at Para Coffee, which was very cool. Then I rolled down the hill to Sweet Haus for some delectable cupcakes. Call me a cupcake tourist, I think I stop at bakeries where ever I go!
Ohhhh, the choices. I had cookies and cream.
Game time, I ran over to the stadium and found my seat. What a show! I loved the marching band, dance squad, football players, cheerleaders, and the "cavalier," who galloped through the stadium on a horse at the beginning of the game. What a rush! The energy was high and the fans were fantastic. I love Charlottesville and am proud to call it an Alex and Ani home!
Be sure to check out the Facebook page for Alex and Ani Charlottesville to keep up with all the latest happenings.

Key Alzheimer's protein found
Alzheimer's causes changes in the structure of the brain
Researchers have found a protein essential to the development of Alzheimer's disease.
They believe the discovery could pave the way for the development of drugs to treat the degenerative brain disease that are similar to those that have helped to combat the Aids virus.
The researchers, from California-based Amgen Inc and Harvard Medical School, say the protein, called BACE, stimulates other brain proteins to adopt a form that makes them damaging to the brain and causes Alzheimer's.
The disease starts with memory loss and progresses to profound dementia and death. There is no cure at present, although some drugs can slow the progression of the disease.
Alzheimer's patients have clots in their brains known as amyloid plaques and tangles of nerve cells.
A peptide, or protein fragment, known as amyloid beta peptide is believed to be key to the development of these plaques.
Critical role in the disease
Dr Martin Citron of Amgen, who led the research, said: "There has been overwhelming evidence over the last six years or so that the beta peptide that forms amyloid plaques plays an early and critical role in the disease."
This peptide is cut, or cleaved, off a larger protein known as amyloid precursor protein.
It was known that two special slicing proteins, known as proteases, did this. But no one could find them.
Now Dr Citron's team believe that they have identified BACE as one of these elusive proteases.
The researchers are now searching for a compound - a protease inhibitor - that can stop BACE from slicing up the amyloid precursor protein.
Protease inhibitors have been successfully used to keep HIV infection at manageable levels in thousands of patients.
But unlike the HIV protease inhibitors, one designed to work against Alzheimer's might work on its own.
"HIV is an infectious agent and it mutates at a very rapid pace whereas this one is not an infectious agent," Dr Citron said.
"There is a possibility that a protease inhibitor alone could do it. But only clinical trials could show that."
Dr Richard Harvey, director of research at the Alzheimer's Disease Society, said: "This research gives us a clue about new lines of investigation that could be followed potentially to develop new forms of treatment."
However, Dr Harvey warned that much more work was needed before any drugs could be developed.
He also stressed that preventing the formation of plaques in the brain would not necessarily prevent Alzheimer's as nobody was sure about the relationship between the plaques and the nerve tangles.

Being a little overweight can kill you, according to new U.S. research that leaves little room for denial that a few extra pounds is harmful. Adults who were even just a tad pudgy were more likely to die prematurely than those who were at a healthy weight, U.S. researchers reported this week in the New England Journal of Medicine.
While obesity has been known to contribute to early death, the link between being overweight and dying prematurely has been controversial. Some experts have argued that a few extra pounds does no harm.
However, this is one of the first major studies to take into account the factors of smoking and chronic illness, which can complicate efforts to figure out how much weight itself is responsible for early death.
The research, by scientists at the National Cancer Institute, was part of a study that involved more than half a million people, aged 50 to 71, participating in a research project by the National Institutes of Health and AARP, formerly known as the American Association of Retired Persons.
Researchers analyzed patients' body-mass index and mortality rate over a 10-year period from questionnaires they filled out in 1995 and 1996 detailing their weight and diet. In a separate analysis of 186,000 healthy people -- who had never smoked -- overweight people were 20 to 40 per cent more likely to die prematurely than normal-weight people. (The risk increased two- to three-fold for obese people.)
"The cumulative evidence is now even stronger," said Michael Thun, chief epidemiologist of the American Cancer Society, who had no role in the research. "Being overweight does increase health risks. It's not simply a cosmetic or social problem."

The Screen; Bengal Brigade' vs. Sepoys at Palace
HER Majesty's Indian Army and "those beggars" are at it again in the Palace's new vaudeville-bill thriller, Universal's "Bengal Brigade." The red-coated British officers are showing their stiff upper lips and the brown-turbaned Sepoy soldiers are snarling their distaste for fat. And a cruelly dishonored British captain (with an accent right out of the midwest) is gallantly demonstrating that a sense of loyalty is stronger than a taste for revenge.
There is nothing remotely original in this straight assembly-line color film—which is probably as intended, since it appears to be aimed at the double-bill trade.
Rock Hudson performs the injured captain in a handsome, emotionless way, and Torin Thatcher has all the mannerisms of a stalwart colonel of a British regiment. Arlene Dahl is the colonel's beautiful daughter who looks spotless, even in a trench, and Ursula Thiess is the high-caste Indian native who loves and cares for the captain in vain. Arnold Moss is the suave and slinky rajah who heads the Sepoy revolt.
As usual, the "white man's burden" is graciously resumed at the end, after a few dozen extras have acted death throes and a good deal of "prop" blood has been spilled.
BENGAL BRIGADE, screen play by Richard Alan Simmons, from a novel by Hall Hunter; directed by Laslo Benedek; produced by Ted Richmond for Universal-International. At the Palace.

Song Of The Week - 04/27/12
Next week a group of my fellow MBA students will travel to Argentina for a unique learning opportunity. While I won't personally be attending, I've advised a number of them to put their negotiation skills to the test and try to reclaim the Falklands from Britain. Furthermore, I've instructed some of the male travelers to wear black suits, black ties, dark sunglasses, and an earpiece. If recent events have taught me anything, it's that it drives South American ladies crazy.

Song Of The Week - 04/20/12
It's that time when masses descend upon southern California for two weekends filled with blockbuster musical acts and an overall lack of personal hygiene. Much of the buzz at this year's Coachella Festival has been about the surprise appearance of Tupac Shakur, though many of the hipsters in attendance gave the performance lackluster reviews. One horn-rimmed bespectacled audience member was quoted as saying, "Princess Leia did the holographic thing before it was cool, now everyone's doing it." You heard it here first, people, posthumous holograms are officially OVER!

Before anyone attacks this post (you know there are always some), I know that pheasant's are currently out of season.
When they are in season I always just use a shotgun, but on one of my perms they are everywhere, but I only bring my tx200 with me to take care of the rats and the occasional rabbit, the land owner is not happy with me taking a shot gun there so it's air rifle only, and I don't have a FAC so my rifles are all sub 12ftlb.
Could I use my tx200 to put the occasional pheasant in the pot, or is it illegal? And would a sub 12ftlb rifle be powerful enough for a clean kill?
I have recently read a similar question concerning canadian geese, I simply want to know if it is legal to use my tx for the problem, and if it would be strong enough for a clean kill, non of the ethics (my own ethics say if its not going to be a clean kill don't even attempt it).

I was at an art show, talking with someone I hadn't seen in a while. Catching up. She asked how I was doing and what I was up to these days… I think I started riffing, semi-coherently about the Three Principles (note to self: do not attempt to discuss what can sound like esoteric concepts in noisy, crowded environments). Then I said that I wasn't sure if I wanted to continue 1 on 1 coaching because I thought people were tedious. Or maybe I qualified it with some people are tedious.

A little over a year ago, I realized that I lived where I live because I had followed my ex here. Life changed a whole lot and free to explore other options, I gave myself the assignment of looking around to see if I really wanted to stick around.

I am at a point in my life where I am really diving into all aspects of my creativity. I've dabbled. Now I'm diving. I feel sorta like the young 20-something in art school, trying all the things until my voice, my particular style and my methods come together to form my own brand of creative expression. Except I'm a 40-something and I'm piecing my "art school" education together via online classes, books, observation and life experience. Why didn't I do this when I was actually in my twenties? Hell, why does anybody wait or hold back? I had my reasons and they made me who I am. So I can handle starting brand new things even while "the voices" whisper awful things like it's too late for me. I know enough now to call bullshit on "the voices". Continue reading
Vulnerability and the thing about thoughts
I love Brené Brown, author of Daring Greatly and The Gifts of Imperfection, etc. She's from Texas (which tells you so much, right there). She is so much spunk mixed in with a high degree of intellect plus a wicked sense of humor. I bet she could make the most boring research topics the most fun things to listen to. I clicked to a talk of hers shared on Facebook today and it featured her core research topic, vulnerability, and how it related to creativity. It got me thinking about how her research plays in with Continue reading

My poor neglected blog! I can't believe how long it's been since I've posted – stuff has been going on. Interesting stuff that might have made for some good blogging…
To tell it like it is, I'm coming out of what I will call a slump. What Martha Beck would call square 1 – the place where the metaphoric caterpillar turns into goo before emerging as a beautiful butterfly. I got it into my head that I was feeling wounded. That I needed healing. That I was stuck. That there was some stuff I hadn't wanted to look at but was finally ready to. Another leveling up in the never ending ascension to that holy grail of higher consciousness. And I was coming off the pill (there's a conspiracy book in me regarding those nasty things and how they numb women out – damn it!). TMI? Sorry… it's part of what was going on in my world. I just didn't feel plugged in and so in a flash of wisdom that I had the wisdom to listen to, I've been keepin' it on the down low and spending lots of time chilling out, journaling and freaking out because I wasn't feeling "plugged in". Then realizing that the freak out thoughts were neither productive nor true which went a long way towards their evaporation. I'm feeling so much more me now – definitely plugged in! – so on to why I'm inspired to post. Continue reading
Four Ways, My Ass!
There's a magazine called YES! that I get email updates for whenever a new issue comes out. It's usually got some good stuff in it that would appeal to a tree hugger like me and actually, I think I started reading it because they featured some bike thing a while back. Their about page states "YES! Magazine reframes the biggest problems of our time in terms of their solutions. Online and in print, we outline a path forward with in-depth analysis, tools for citizen engagement, and stories about real people working for a better world."
A particular headline caught my attention today –
Four Ways to Escape the NSA Dragnet
Go ahead and go read it. It's short and won't take long.
Are you back? Excellent. So now that you've read it you'll understand why my first reaction was"excuse me?" It seems to me that this country was not founded on the idea that its citizens would someday have a need to protect themselves from their own government.
What to do about this? I'll be fucked if I know. The whole thing – our entire government seems to have become so subversive. I am certainly not the first person to say such a thing. Check out this extremely fun article by long retired Charlie Reese. He nor I will be the last to point out that our government stopped being ours a long time ago. Ah, but I am truly an optimist at heart and so I do have moments when I think that maybe our government really does have our protection – and nothing else – in mind. Then I remember that we live in the information age. We have twitter. It's not 1620. It's not like somebody can come over, stake their flag and take over. Good God, the Facebook traffic alone would shut that shit down before CNN could even broadcast a bio of the flag staker. So it has to be all about saving us from the ever present danger of terrorist attack, in whatever form it might take. Keeping us safe. That's a charged word, safe. It takes us back to our primordial urges to protect in a split second. Hell, maybe that's the issue. Maybe we simply haven't evolved enough to understand that safe doesn't guarantee control. And the more we try to force that illusion of control into reality, we wind up controlling us more than "them".

hi All,
i am using this colorpicker. as explained here:
i want to bound it to the property defined in the Viewmodel:
SelectedColor="{Binding Path=SelectedColor, Mode=TwoWay, Converter={StaticResource ColorToBrushConverter}}" >
public Color SelectedColor
get { return _selectedColor; }
set { _selectedColor = value;
but when i change color it is not hitting the Set part of the SelectedColor property. am i missing something to bind it to the Property in the view model? it is going to the Converter properly but not the set part of the Selectedcolor property which
it is bound to.
Second thing:is SelectedColorText property not available ? i am not getting it in XAMl tag. like i got the SelectedColor property.
Thanks in advance for help.
You don't need a converter since your property is of type Color. Just remove it from your binding. Also, the SelectedColorText cannot be set it is read only.
thanks Brian :).

Entering his fourth year in the league, Dan Bailey is the best Dallas Cowboys kicker in recent memory, and he says a good deal of credit should go to longtime long-snapper L.P. Ladouceur--an unsung hero on the roster for the past nine seasons.
"LP, he does a third of my job, it all starts with him and he's been doing it for a long time. I'm real lucky to have him," Bailey said, per the Fort Worth Star-Telegram. "I put him up there with some of the best in the league and I have a lot of respect for what he does. He makes my job easier."
With Ladouceur delivering the ball to the holder (punter Chris Jones) in the past three years, Bailey has made 90.5 percent of field goal attempts. In the past two years, he's made better than 93 percent of attempts and he has never missed an extra point.
"It's a tremendous battery that has to be in sync all the time," special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia said. "The expectation is it's going to be right all the time, but they have to have a tremendous amount of respect for one another by the way they prepare and by way in which they work, and when there's usually something a little off, it's not a problem, because someone's going to fix it."

David Hunt is keen to extend his stay with Northampton Town beyond the end of the season.
The midfielder's current deal with The Cobblers is due to expire in the summer.
Hunt has made 23 appearances in League One this term and would be happy to continue his career at Sixfields.
Northampton are currently eight points clear of the relegation zone and once safety is assured, Hunt hopes to open talks.
"My contract is up in the summer and I'm sure that will get discussed when hopefully we've secured our League One status," Hunt told the club's official website.
"I love playing for this club, the fans treat me well and I'd like to be here next season."

Recommended Power Supply Wattage Calculator
From ASUS, a guidline minimum PSU calculator. With upgrades and general playing around with hardware you can find maybe your present PSU could use an upgrade too. With my setup it shows I need 600W and I have a 650W, so maybe I should get a bigger one.
Another from Antec with more options to select.

I like to do a bit of simple math with the actual effective output of a power supply. When the AC from the wall is converted to DC, some of the energy is lost to heat. This is where the 80Plus certification comes in. The higher the cert, the better the efficiency. To be safe, I like to take the advertised wattage and multiply it by 80% (or .8). In your case, 650 watts is 520. That's what I do when I shop for supplies so I can always make sure I have a little bit of padding so I'm not always pushing the supply to capacity.

If I use one of those calcs, I always add a minimum of 150W to whatever it says.
One thing people always overlook is, how many USB devices will be connected at any given time.
This includes, Keyboard and Mouse. Then add Cameras, mp3 players, external tumb drives and hard drives, web cam, e-reader, Cell Phone. Will there be adding an Internal HDD, or Optical Drive like a BD-Writer.
What happens when it is decided to upgrade the Video card that may require more power.
Those calcs are Ok, but they are only a guideline, and should never be taken at face value.

Make sure you put in some reasonable value for capacitor aging - that significantly affects the wattage you need. Some of these default to no aging - resulting in an underestimate.

Personally, I feel that most people way over power their computers. Most people who have 750w+ PSU's, simply won't ever come close to using all of that power. But hey, if it makes them feel better or more futureproof, go for it. I've got a 620 in my box, (Quad Core 9550, 8GB of RAM, 1 SSD, 1 hard drive, 1 9800GTX+, 3 x 120mm case fans, 1 DVD burner) and I was toiling between a 520 or a 620. I went with 620, but could have easily done the 520....heck a 450 probably would have done it...but I couldn't find a modular 450 at the time.

I run an Antec True Power New 650 and before my current setup, I had the following parts in my box,

A few of those Calculators said I needed almost a 1000watt PSU.
The Asus Calc says 800watt for my Current Setup and 1000 Watt for my old setup.
The Antec Calc says 495watt for the current setup and 756watt for the old setup

Actually, there are a lot more factors that go into it.
The system in my specs had a 650W. Which is also what most of these calcs recommend for my system.
My Main issue, and with just a Keyboard, Mouse and one other USB Device.......
But, change any of the USB's on the calcs to max and the results don't change much.
I had an older External HDD that did come with a Y Power USB Cable, Power+Data and Power ends
If I plugged in just with the Power+Data cable, it would work fine
But if I added an External HDD or thumb drive, it would then start clicking and stop working,
It require the other power cable.
After adding the 750W, I do not have that issue any longer.

Auteur Theory Essay: Feedback Needed
Hey everyone,
As part of my university assignment we were asked to look at the auteur theory and produce a 4000 word essay discussing the theory of a selected writer and apply it to the work of a film or director, for the purposes of this I chose to look at the Batman Franchise with the application of theories of Andrew Sarris and Timothy Corrigan.
I've completed the essay, but I'm a little nervous over whether I've done the right thing, so if it is possible could you read over my work, point out the good and bad aspects and tell me what needs improving.
Thank you very much

I've completed the essay, but I'm a little nervous over whether I've done the right thing, so if it is possible could you read over my work, point out the good and bad aspects and tell me what needs improving.
Thank you very much
Here's the essay
The Auteur Theory and The Batman Film Franchise
In the 1950's writers and film critics at the influential French film magazine Cahiers Du Cinema led by Francois Truffaut began to develop an approach to watching film that would go on to be known as the auteur theory, an approach which shifted the focus of the film away from the film text itself and instead onto the director as a key factor in the film, identifying that despite the production derived system of Hollywood films at the time that certain directors were able to showcase unique traits and personal touches within their work. For the purposes of this essay I shall be focusing on two theories in particular, the first of these being Andrew Sarris' concentric circles as a means of defining the auteur,. Sarris' view of the auteur, based on his essay Notes on the Auteur Theory in 1962, is the belief that the application of an auteur status onto a director is dependent on whether their work applies to three criteria; technical competency, a personal style which determines how a movie looks and feels and an 'interior meaning' in the director's work. The second theorist I shall focus on is Timothy Corrigan, who takes a rather more cynical and post-modern view of the auteur, seeing it largely as a means of marketing a film and that film directors deliberately create themselves a star image as a means of attempting to earn themselves a perception of an auteur from the cinema audience.
Whilst it has been shown in the past that the application of the auteur can take place within a highly commercialised film-making system such as Hollywood, the application of the auteur to the premise of franchise film is arguably a more difficult task, as film-makers working within this type of film franchise not only have to attend with the traditional restrictions of Hollywood film such as production interference and the star power of the actors involved but also have to contend with traits of the franchise itself which may conflict with the stylistic traits and themes of the director. Bearing this in mind the most interesting of these franchises to look at in the context of Sarris and Corrigan is the Batman franchise, as it more so than any other comic book franchise has seen this relationship with the auteur director at its most fraught, as three directors, each with differing levels of an 'auteur' status have taken on films within the franchise, each with differing levels of how much they were able to apply the authorship of Sarris and Corrigan to their work.
In this essay I hope to explore the inner workings of the Batman franchise, helping to explain the reasons why this relationship with the auteur film director came about, particularly within the concept of Timothy Corrigan's interpretation of the auteur as a commercial product as well as the concentric circles as defined by Andrew Sarris. Firstly by looking at Tim Burton's two Batman films, which saw Burton's traditional auteur traits initially downplayed and questioned before being more embraced as Burton's auteur status began to be seen more prominently in his other work. Secondly with Joel Schumacher's two Batman films, questioning whether the appointment of the arguably non-auteur Schumacher was an attempt from Warner Brothers to seize control of the franchise for their own commercial benefits but also ask whether the lack of an directorial control was part of the reason for the comparative failure of Schumacher's two films. Finally I would look at Christopher Nolan's trilogy of films, asking not only whether the appointment of Nolan has seen the Batman franchise once again embracing the concept of an 'auteur' director but also whether due to outside factors Nolan's auteur status has more place in the world of the comic book movie then it did with Tim Burton's tenure in charge.
Prior to his work as a Hollywood director Tim Burton had worked for as an animator for the Disney corporation in the eighties (Bovingdon, 2012) as well as producing two short-films which had been based on personal experiences, the 1982 Claymation movie Vincent, based on Burton's appreciation for the actor Vincent Price (Aleksandrovic, 2010) followed by 1984's Frankenweenie based on the real-life loss of Burton's pet dog as a child (Ace Showbiz, 2012). These themes of personal identity, added with the visual themes of German expressionism, would become traits which would become regular occurrences within Burton's work, including in Burton's two Batman films. Following the success of Burton's Beetlejuice, Executive Producer Michael Uslan approached Burton for the role of director for the proposed Batman film, believing that the visual style demonstrated within his short work would make him the man to faithfully translate the Batman comic to the big screen and portray Batman in the way in which he was initially envisioned by creator Bob Kane, "A creature of the night; stalking criminals in the shadows." (PRI, 2012)
The treatment of Burton in the context of the auteur within his two Batman films is very interesting to note, as despite the fact that both Batman and Batman Returns were made within the space of three years the treatment of Burton's status as a prominent part of the involvement of the film differed significantly. During production of Batman, Burton's gravitas as an influential figure within production was downplayed especially in comparison to his later work, partly due to his relatively low profile as a director at that point but also due to greater influence being placed onto ulterior factors into shaping the mise-en-scene of Batman as a film, the most noticeable of these being the involvement of Batman creator Bob Kane within the film's production and Executive Producer Michael Uslan's insistence that the film follow Kane's strict ground rules on how the character should be interpreted in what was known as the 'Bat-Bible', a move which saw Uslan limit the source material that Burton was allowed access to the first year of the Batman comics and thus restrict his role on set (Robinson, 2006 pg. 76-77). Comparatively three years later during production of Batman Returns Burton was given much more of a free reign as a director, a decision which had been fuelled largely by the critical and commercial success of Burton's highly personalised and stylised pet project Edward Scissorhands, during the making of Returns the involvement of producers Uslan, Peter Guber and Jon Peters was largely minimalized and the strict adherence to the 'Bat-Bible' was disposed with, allowing Burton to demonstrate the themes and motifs traditionally seen in his portfolio of work more emphatically in Batman Returns as opposed to the original 1989 film and do so unopposed by Warner Brothers, allowing to exude authoritarian prominence over the film and shape it in a way in which was fitting with the commercial perception of Burton as an auteur. (Robinson, 2006. pg. 95)
In both of these scenarios, both as a comparatively unimportant part of the production of Batman and as a central figure of importance within Batman Returns, The mise-en-scene of both films can certainly point towards the viewpoint of Burton as an auteur as defined by Andrew Sarris, the achievement of this status in Batman being arguably more impressive considering the downplaying of his involvement behind the scenes. Looking at Batman when taking into account Sarris' concentric circles the film does contain evidence of Tim Burton as an auteur, such as his gothic interpretation of Gotham City, his portrayal of Bruce Wayne as a tortured social outsider and his reversed portrayal of colour with Batman clad in black and The Joker clad in purple and yellow, all three of which being themes and motifs which Burton has come to traditionally use within his work, whilst in Returns these can be seen in the way in which Burton would take leeway with the characters within the Batman comics and give them backstories and designs more in fitting with those seen in Burton's portfolio, with the Penguin's backstory in Batman Returns of a deformed outsider abandoned by his parents is almost identical to that of the backstory of the titular lead character in his previous film Edward Scissorhands, whilst the overt predominance within the production of Batman Returns, aided with his new-found celebrity star power following Edward Scissorhands also led to Burton developing an auteur status as defined by Timothy Corrigan, arguably to the extent that Burton's role within the film was equal to or surpassed that of the titular character Batman.
One of the issues that this established however was that the creation of Burton as a commercial auteur came into conflict with the commercial viability of the Batman franchise as a commercial entity, due in part to the fact that Burton's auteur presence was in some ways too prominent for its own good. In the making of Batman Returns, Burton arguably managed to isolate and fracture a large proportion of Returns' two major projected audiences, namely the hard-core Batman fans who had followed the character through the comic books and a casual, family friendly audience. In regards to the hard-core fans this was done in Burton's largely fictionalised portrayal of the Batman franchise now that he was no longer forced to adhere to the demands in following the original comic material that had been set for him during the first film, the most overt example of this was seen in the form of the character of The Penguin, which was transformed from the original comic book interpretation of an English gentleman of crime into a deformed outcast much more in fitting with the visual design of Tim Burton as opposed to that seen within the character's comic book interpretation, these methods helped to hinder the film's appeal with hard-core fans of the comics, who took offence at the ways in which Burton had taken leeway with 'their' characters. Mark Reinhart in particular was very vocal on this, stating that "In my opinion, the film's Batman is so far removed from the traditional comic depiction of Batman that they hardly even resemble one another. Returns' Batman is a remorseless killer, pure and simple - and as far as I'm concerned, that depiction runs completely counter to what the Batman character has basically been about for decades." (Batman on Film, 2005)
As well as this the increased presence of Burton and the application of his auteur status led to Burton isolating an important child audience with his film by making it too dark for its own good, a move which in turn led to the film being hindered from a commercial point of view, as due to the increased violence and negative feedback from parents Warner Brothers were forced to cancel a marketing tie-in with McDonalds' happy meal shortly after it began (Empire, 1992). Burton in Batman Returns gives us one of the difficulties in the application of a Corrigan-defined auteur status within a franchise film such as Batman, as doing so leads to a conflict of interests when attempting to define a target audience for the film between the audience belonging to the work of the auteur and an audience belonging to fans of the franchise, especially when you have a director such as Tim Burton whose image and aura is so different to that of the ethos of the Batman franchise.
Unlike Burton, who had been comparatively young and early in his career when he had directed Batman and Batman Returns, Joel Schumacher had been a veteran of the movie industry having made his first film in 1981, and had established himself as a reputation less of an artist and more of a craftsman, having worked in multiple genres with varying success, from teen movies St. Elmo's Fire and The Lost Boys through to his adaption of the John Grisham novel The Client in 1994. On paper Burton and Schumacher were comparatively similar type of film-makers, both had made careers with films noted for a unique visual style and both had worked within the art and design industry prior to moving into film-making, with Schumacher having worked as a fashion designer on films such as Woody Allen's Sleeper (1973) and Interiors (1978), but whilst Burton's visual style has been used as evidence and a means to define Burton as a movie auteur the same has not happened to Schumacher. The reasons for this may be in the motive of visual imagery and the type of imagery used by both directors, whilst Burton's imagery focused on German Expressionism, giving his Batman films links to art-house independent cinema, Schumacher's use of imagery, which was much more influenced by pop culture, came across as much more overtly commercialised as well as being considered too unoriginal and unremarkable to be given any overt interest, and it was this added with the inconsistencies of genre in Schumacher's previous work that played a part in not only dismissing the concept of Schumacher as an auteur but also instigating the criticisms that would emerge from Schumacher's two Batman films, in particular 1997's Batman and Robin.
Due in part to the failed attempt to allow for Tim Burton to demonstrate a Corrigan defined auteur status in Batman Returns Joel Schumacher's influence on Batman Forever and Batman and Robin was much more subtle, with production arguably returning to a similar format as what was seen in 1989's Batman, where the Batman character in itself returned to becoming the primary selling point of the franchise as opposed to the director. This was achieved not only with the appointment of a much less high-profile and less visually defined director such as Schumacher but also through the fact that many of the key players within the Tim Burton era of the Batman franchise had also chosen to move on to new film ventures, including the composer Danny Elfman, writer Sam Hamm and leading actor Michael Keaton, which allowed for Schumacher and the producers more freedom to produce a version of Batman less entwined with the Burton era of the Batman franchise, a version which following the negative commercial reaction to Batman Returns was more family friendly and arguably more commercial orientated. Whilst Burton's two films did feature elements of commercialisation, Schumacher's emphasis on this during Batman Forever was something which caught the attention of film critics negatively, with Brian Lowry of Variety claiming that Batman Forever "is as much a finely tuned marketing/merchandising machine as a movie, down to the not-so-subtle McDonald's plug ('I'll get drive-through') after the opening credits" (Lowry, 1995), however whilst Schumacher's style of film-making should be a reason for this commercialised look of the film Warner Brothers in themselves should also shoulder some of the reason for this, as in the process of creating his two films Schumacher found himself given strict instructions over the contents of the film, including noticeably an aim to make the film 'toyetic' and being consulted over his visual effects by toy manufacturers so that the designs of vehicles and gadgets within the film would appear as marketable to children as possible (Schumacher, 2005). This in turn though leads to the questioning of Schumacher's status as an auteur within his two Batman films, as it is evidence of the director having his personal vision and design shaped by ulterior motives.
Similarly note was made of Schumacher's focus on homosexual undertones within his two films, something explicitly seen in 1997's Batman and Robin, but also hinted at within Batman Forever as well, with the opening scene of the film post credits including a montage of Batman preparing for battle, including elongated scenes focusing on the character's crotch and buttocks, added to this was the suggestion by Jack Croll that the design and characterisation of Robin (played by Chris O' Donnell) was done cynically to attract a gay audience to the film. "Is it too cynical to speculate that he's (Schumacher) been disinterred with the increasingly coveted gay audience in mind? Chris O'Donnell as Robin sports a close-cropped head, long sideburns and an earring. Chew on that, you pop-culture iconographers!" (Croll, 1995). The argument that would come from this within the context of the auteur however is that other directors which can be defined as auteurs have highlighted themes of homosexuality within superhero films, such as Bryan Singer's X-Men (2000), but whilst the inclusion of these homosexual themes and motives were considered part of the reason for the critical success of X-Men, the critical and commercial reaction to the inclusion of such themes in Batman and Robin were very negatively perceived, this could arguably be due to the perception that Schumacher through his excessive use of this imagery made the theme of homosexuality appear too overt whilst still lacking in an intended meaning behind its inclusion. This lack of intention added with the commercial orientated agenda of his vision of the Batman franchise leads to us certainly questioning the judgement of Joel Schumacher from an auteur view as defined by Sarris, whilst the overt focus on Batman and a lack of star power prior to his work on Batman leads to us questioning his value as a Corrigan derived auteur as well.0
And part 2:Unlike the back history of Burton and Schumacher, Christopher Nolan had never attended a film school, nor had never worked within the design industry, instead he had got into film-making on his own back, having made films as a child using his father's super 8 camera and making his first film, 1998's Following, for a paltry $6,000 (Box Office Mojo, 2013). The small budget of the film meant that Nolan could not afford to be experimental in the visual style of the film as the budget would not allow him to do so, instead Nolan chose to be unconventional in the constructed narrative of the film, choosing to alternate between complex flashbacks and flash-forwards, a theme that would become a regular occurrence within the work of Nolan in the future, and would be repeated in his breakout film, 2000's Memento. The way in which Nolan approached Following and Memento can be used as evidence of the way in which Nolan would eventually approach Batman, as it would disregard the design and visual-driven format which had been used by Burton and Schumacher and instead one which placed more emphasis on story and plot as a result, features which would become recognisable in Nolan's three Batman pictures.
What was interesting to note in the production of Nolan's first Batman feature, Batman Begins, was how, comparative to Burton and Schumacher, Nolan faced little to no intervention from production into his ideas for the Batman franchise, allowing him largely a free reign to produce the film in a way in which he saw fit, evidenced from an interview with Nolan where he first put forward some of his ideas for Batman Begins, "There wasn't even a fight. . . .I approached them with the idea. They already knew that studio filmmaking had screwed up this franchise. They couldn't do it their way, so I got to do it my way" (Kotler, 2006), compare this approach to the one which Schumacher had to deal with when working in his two Batman films, where Schumacher's original vision of a Batman origin story similar to what was eventually developed by Nolan in Batman Begins was shot down by Warner Brothers who demanded that Schumacher produced a sequel instead (Schumacher, 2005). This was down to not only the rise in independent film-makers developing superhero films with critical acclaim but also due to the failure that the production derived Batman and Robin had suffered. David Goyer seconded this approach, stating "I think they knew they had to do something different in terms of reinventing the franchise . . . and I think they knew it wasn't a film that could be made by committee" (Greenberg, 2005).
This emphasis on plot and downplaying of visual elements also led to a change in the approach of the Batman franchise, as Nolan made a conceited attempt to make his vision of the Batman universe as real, grounded and as obtainable as possible, examples of this being Nolan's interpretation of Gotham City, which was shot in Chicago, Illinois and is presented as being a largely normal and realistic city, especially compared to the largely gothic layout demonstrated in Burton and Schumacher's films, whilst the interpretations of characters within Nolan's films were also changed to fit with the more grounded approach of Nolan's films, with the character of Bane (played by Tom Hardy) transformed from a drug-mutated Mexican luchador from the comic book series to a largely mellowed interpretation, the large muscles of the comic book character replaced by a comparatively obtainable body form and the Mexican background replaced by one which was British. These changes served to give Nolan's Batman films an authentic credibility which had been lacking in the franchise following the failing of Joel Schumacher's largely fantastical Batman and Robin and these changes in character design, as well as a continuation of the themes and motifs seen in Nolan's indie orientated work prior to Batman led to Nolan being able to give himself a Sarris defined auteur status from the start of his time in charge of the franchise, but one which unlike Tim Burton's first Batman film was arguably actively encouraged by Warner Brothers.
As well as achieving a Sarris derived auteur status within his films Nolan was also arguably the recipient of a commercialised auteur status as defined by Corrigan in his Batman films, particularly in the promotion of the third film in his trilogy The Dark Knight Rises which focused very heavily on Nolan's involvement in the film (Future Arts Blog, 2011). Whilst a similar action had been undertaken in 1992 during the marketing of Batman Returns during Tim Burton's tenure in charge of the franchise the key factor that separated the two was that whilst Burton's commercial authorship was seen as being in conflict with the public interpretation of the Batman franchise Nolan's marketing as an auteur was much more in fitting with the public's expectations of the Batman franchise at the time, and as a result was accepted a lot more openly then what had happened with Burton in Batman Returns. The first was that as a result of the successes of independently orientated auteur directors within franchise film, such as Sam Raimi's Spiderman, Brian Singer's X-Men and Peter Jackson's The Lord Of The Rings trilogy the casual film audience were more willing to embrace indie derived directors such as Nolan in franchise film in a way that they weren't willing to when Tim Burton was at the helm of the Batman franchise and when franchise film at that point was not as popular as it now is, and secondly following the commercial failure of Batman and Robin and the interpretation of the Batman franchise at that point as a result of Joel Schumacher that the public were willing to accept an interpretation of Batman substantially different from Schumacher's, and based on the films which Nolan had made prior to his appointment as director the interpretation was that Nolan would be able to do that, to the extent that in some quarters Nolan was hailed as a franchise saviour even before the release of Batman Begins in 2005, whereas comparatively Tim Burton's need to market himself as an auteur was arguably unnecessary due to the franchise's healthy state and comparative youth and less willing to be embraced by the film audience.
In conclusion we must certainly make the consideration that Corrigan's theory of authorship being used in a commercial sense does exist within even something as restrictive as franchise film such as Batman, especially with the examples of Tim Burton's heavy promotion as an auteur preceding Batman Returns and the allowance from Warner Brothers to give him a free-reign over production elements of the film, including the overhauling of elements of the comic books and Christopher Nolan being a rewarded an almost saviour like status even before the release of Batman Begins, almost solely down to his previous independent cinema work. The same however cannot be said for Joel Schumacher, even though to some extent he was hailed as a franchise saviour following the excessively dark Batman Returns in the same way as Christopher Nolan was considered by Warner Brothers following Batman and Robin's critical panning, but as promoting an auteur in this way was not as essential as what it became in 2005 this was not necessary for Warner Brothers.
One argument that must be made with all three of these directors however is the theory that whilst the application of Corrigan and Sarris' theories of authorship has been prominent in the Batman franchise to an extent with the work of Tim Burton and Christopher Nolan, the true impact of these director's auteur statuses came in the films which succeeded their Batman films, which makes me question the ability of working within franchise film such as Batman to fully illicit a status as both a Sarris and Corrigan derived auteur. Not only was this seen with Tim Burton when he followed up his original Batman film with his heavily personal and heavily stylised Edward Scissorhands and The Nightmare Before Christmas but also in the follow-up films undertaken by Christopher Nolan following Batman Begins and The Dark Knight respectively, these being 2005's The Prestige and 2010's Inception, with Disney's President of Distribution stating that a big reason for the large October opening for The Prestige was down to Nolan's involvement within the film (Eller, 2008), even to a lesser extent Joel Schumacher saw somewhat of a development of an auteur status, following up his work with critically acclaimed, independently derived films such as 2000's Tigerland and the 2002 sleeper hit Phone Booth (2002), even if his Corrigan derived auteur status is achieved through a means of notoriety such as that of director Ed Wood. The reason for this may be that in spite of an auteur's presence within franchise film the power of the franchise will still outshine that of the director, as even the application of auteur traits within these films plays into an ideology fitting within the Batman franchise in some way, from Tim Burton's expressionist and gothic themes playing to the original 1939 incarnation of Batman, Joel Schumacher's highly stylised and heavily commercialised interpretation playing to the largely campy 1960's era of the comics and Christopher Nolan's grounded and realistic interpretation having much in common with the Frank Miller and Alan Moore derived graphic novels of the 1980's. The argument must be that no matter the implication of auteur status directors such as Tim Burton, Joel Schumacher and Christopher Nolan find themselves like Gotham in the shadow of the bat.0
@OP: This isn't necessarily a good idea. Even is someone is willing to flog through 4000 words and provide comments, how do you know that they are familar with and able to judge university level film studies work properly? And more to the point, your own university's film studies courses?
This is what your module tutor (or whoever it is) is for. They know better than anyone what the marking criteria for your essay are, and while they likely won't read an entire draft before it's handed in, they should be perfectly happy for you to summarise it verbally for them and, if necessary, suggest ways to improve it.0

ATLANTA, March 21 (UPI) -- Joe Johnson saved the game at the fourth-quarter buzzer Wednesday and hit the winning shot in overtime, giving the Atlanta Hawks a 103-102 win over Cleveland.
Johnson scored 22 points and tied it at the end of regulation with a 3-pointer. That ended a dramatic fourth period during which the lead changed hands eight times.
Johnson then hit a jumper with 18 seconds left in the extra period that accounted for the final score and Atlanta survived when Kyrie Irving missed a jumper and Alonzo Gee was unable to convert a tip-in attempt in the final second.
Josh Smith scored 32 points with 17 rebounds for the Hawks, who won for the third time in four games. Atlanta swept the three-game season series with Cleveland and has defeated the Cavaliers seven straight times.
Irving scored 29 points to lead Cleveland, loser of four out of five.

Chorley youngster Laurie Clark admits her chance to share a court with US Open and Olympic champion Andy Murray at the ATP World Tour Finals cannot come quickly enough.
After winning a nationwide competition from 2,500 children across the country the 15-year-old will be one of 30 Barclays Ball Kids at the O2 Arena in London from November 5 to 12.
Clark spent her half-term at the Hampshire Rackets and Health Club being put through her paces ready for her week in the spotlight in the capital.
And while the St Michael's School pupil is expecting a tough week's work at the O2, Clark can't wait to get acquainted with Murray and the rest of the world's top players.
"The training was pretty tiring," she said.
"It was very hard work and my muscles were aching at the end of the week but everyone really enjoyed themselves, we all get on so well.
"I've been a ball girl before when the Davis Cup was in Bolton Arena but this will be something else, the best eight players in the world, I can't believe it.
"It will be an amazing experience that I'm sure is going to take some getting used to."
More than 20,000 spectators a day will see Clark in action at the eight-day season finale, which sees the cream of world tennis go head-to-head for total prize money of nearly £3m.
And while itching to get started, the Lancashire Health and Rackets Club youngster believes there'll be more than a few nerves when she steps out onto court for the first time later next month.
"It will be very nerve-wracking but pretty exciting at the same time," she said.
"Roger Federer is a total legend, one of the best players in the history of tennis, so to watch him play will just be amazing.
"And of course I'll be supporting Andy Murray as well. It is all such a surprise because I did not expect to get picked and now it's so close, I just can't wait."

Henderson City Attorney Shauna Hughes has opted to take the buyout the city offered to veteran employees earlier this year and plans to retire next month.
The Henderson City Council is expected to appoint Deputy City Attorney Elizabeth Quillin as Hughes' successor at its meeting Tuesday night.
Hughes is the second department head in Henderson to take the buyout, joining Finance Director Steve Hanson. The city completed the buyouts in March, with 66 employees accepting and saving the city an estimated $15 million over the next five years.
The City Council has since authorized and is in the midst of a second round of buyouts.
Hughes was appointed as Henderson City Attorney in 1983 and has received several recognitions during her 26-year tenure.
In 2008, she was honored with the State Bar of Nevada Public Lawyers Section's James M. Bartley Distinguished Public Lawyer Award, and the Clark County Bar Association gave her the 2008 Liberty Bell Award.
"How do you truly quantify more than two decades of dedicated service to the City of Henderson? Shauna has been a key player in leading Henderson, Nevada into the national spotlight and transforming this community," Henderson spokeswoman Cindy Herman said. "Her passion and devotion to the organization will be greatly missed."
Neither Hughes nor Quillin could be reached for comment. Herman said Quillin's appointment will make for a smooth transition.
"We are fortunate to be able to transition from one incredibly talented professional to another," she said. "Liz brings to the organization a wealth of experience and legal expertise. The transition will be seamless as Liz assumes her role as Henderson City Attorney."

Chuck Palahniuk's fifth bestseller, Lullaby, has an intriguing cover—on the front, there's a chartreuse-and-black dead bird; the title and author name are on the back. While that will get many a bookstore customer to pick up the book, it's the author's reputation for, as PW noted, "hilarious satire," that will get them to the cash register. Palahniuk is in the midst of a 14-city tour and, according to Doubleday, he is enjoying SRO crowds. Copies in print total 100,000 after four trips to press. He is the second author to be featured in the reading series sponsored by the New Yorker and Bacardi (River-head's The Frog King by Adam Davies was the first). A reading/party is scheduled in a downtown Manhattan club on October 10, and a Bacardi advertorial feature about the author and Lullaby will appear in the October 14 issue of the New Yorker.
