Assistant County Administrator Ken Frink said officials decided paying un- employment was better than paying Messer’s $52,710 salary if he chose to forgo resignation. “It was a business decision,” Frink said.

Whitaker, principal at Pope John Paul II Catholic School, has a brain-based curriculum that starts with the wee little ones and goes through eighth grade. A few years back, Whitaker came across a program called BrainWare Safari. The program uses video games to stimulate brain activity, teaching children of all ages and all skills to learn at a rapid pace. Last year, third-grade students were tested in cognitive skills before and after using the BrainWare program. Test scores grew in each category. Whitaker is convinced the key to student learning is less to do with specific lessons in reading or writ- ing and more with brain development. Parents of Pope John Paul students notice the MATTHEW BECK/Chronicle difference as well.

    Changing Shape: The Evolution of Fat Female Characters in Contemporary American Film A thesis presented to the faculty of the College of Fine Arts of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts Laura E. Pohlman April 2016 © 2016 Laura E. Pohlman. All Rights Reserved. 2 This thesis titled Changing Shape: The Evolution of Fat Female Characters in Contemporary American Film by LAURA E. POHLMAN has been approved for the School of Film and the College of Fine Arts by Ofer Eliaz Assistant Professor of Film Studies Elizabeth Sayrs Interim Dean, College of Fine Arts 3 Abstract LAURA E. POHLMAN, M.A., April 2016, Film Changing Shape: The Evolution of Fat Female Characters in Contemporary American Film Director of Thesis: Ofer Eliaz The purpose of this thesis is to elucidate the fluid conception of fat women within contemporary American culture from the early 1970s to the present. Due to their non- normative embodiment, fat women typically face denigration and marginalization. Most mainstream film narratives reify the negative social positioning of fat women, often through assimilationist characters that resign themselves to fatphobia or otherwise compensate for their fatness. On the flipside, carnival and camp narratives foster liberatory fat characterization, as exemplified by the figure of “the unruly woman.” In his portrayal of both assimilationist and liberationist women, Divine functions as a barometer for subsequent fat characterization. Overall, this thesis critiques fat assimilation, argues for the importance of fat liberation, and projects a future where fat acceptance becomes the norm. 4 Table of Contents Page Abstract ..............................................................................................................................

    Thy Brother Came with Subtlety: How a Cause of Action Against Companies Who Leak Data * Can Increase Security in the Digital Age I. INTRODUCTION In the digital age, perhaps more than ever, knowledge is power. The global economy generates a staggering amount of data every year.1 In 2011, enough data sprang forth from global commerce—1.8 zetabytes—that if the data were a single high-definition movie, that movie would take a person 47 million years to watch.2 This amount is expected to double every year.3 Amidst such a large amount of information leaks are inevitable, with some being “personal information” such as a name, social security number, driver’s license, a bank or credit account number, medical information, or health insurance information.4 The data flood is everywhere and the levies cannot hold. When personal data is leaked, that victim should, in limited circumstances, have a remedy against the company that allowed the leak to happen. Such data leaks are becoming commonplace. On New Years Day 2014, users of the smartphone application—commonly referred to as an “app”— Snapchat,5 woke to the news that phone numbers and usernames associated * Matthew Moriarty. J.D.

While immaturity’s otherness to heteronormative adulthood is a source of fear and anxiety, this otherness is also what makes it desirable–that is, immaturity represents an escape from the pressures and standards of adulthood, signifying an oppositional subjectivity reminiscent of youthful rebellion. Indeed, the oppositional nature of immaturity is ultimately what gives it power as a source of political agency.

  • JASON BATEMAN Has Attained Leading-Man Status in Hollywood in Front of and Behind the Camera
    JASON BATEMAN has attained leading-man status in Hollywood in front of and behind the camera. The actor, producer and director has since evolved from the small screen to securing one major film role after another. Bateman gained critical acclaim for his irreverent portrayal of Michael Bluth in the award-winning comedy series "Arrested Development," created by Mitch Hurwitz. Bateman's lead role earned him a Golden Globe® for best actor in a comedy series. In 2013, Netflix premiered a 14- episode return of the cult favorite, for which Bateman reprised his role, earning him best actor nominations for the Emmy®, SAG, and Golden Globe® awards. Bateman has completed production as executive producer, director, and star of the first season "Ozark," a drama series for MRC, which will be released by Netflix in Summer 2017. The first season will comprise of ten, one-hour episodes, that follow play financial planner Marty Bird, who suddenly relocates from a Chicago suburb to a summer resort community in the Missouri Ozarks, and who must pay off a debt to a Mexican drug lord. Laura Linney, Julia Garner, and Michael Mosley co-star. Bateman is currently in production on "Game Night" opposite Rachel McAdams, Jesse Plemons, and Kyle Chandler. Directed by John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, the film is slated for release by Warner Bros, on February 14, 2018.
