Okay, maybe there are certain dramatic beats that are clearly manufactured, but not too disconcerting, but make no mistake, more often than not, when the film faces a dramatic hiccup, resonance is dragged down more than it should be, not to where you get tastes of something as seriously dramatically underwhelming as "Message in a Bottle" or, so help me, "A Walk [I Would Like Not] to Remember", yet decidedly to where atmosphere thins out just enough to expose one of the final product's biggest issues: conventionalism.

Man, even this film's title refers to something as heartbreaking as a break-up letter to someone who has to kill people for his country, and sure enough, this romance gets tragic, which is good, because while the film isn't all that strong, it gets your investment more than the usual Nicholas Sparks film. Of course, given that it was a movie based on a Sparks book with those adaptations truly reaching their peak at this time, with The Last Song coming out a few months later , and you know, featured a lot of a shirtless Tatum, starring in his first real romantic leading man role, Dear John proved to be an irresistible Valentine's Day treat for audiences.

    Submission to the UK Press Complaints Commission

    This document is made available by Brian Deer as a resource for his Sunday Times investigation of Andrew Wakefield and MMR. The complaint below was suspended on 10 February 2010, following Deer’s request to the PCC that it be heard as a matter of urgency, and the PCC’s consultation with Wakefield, who did not seek to progress it. Both Deer and The Sunday Times reject this complaint as false and disingenuous in all material respects. April 2010. Submission to the UK Press Complaints Commission Complaint from Dr Andrew Wakefield about the Sunday Times article “MMR doctor Andrew Wakefield fixed data on autism” of February 8 th 2009, by Brian Deer. __________________________________________________________________ The articles on pages 1 and, 6 and 7, of the Sunday Times “MMR1 doctor Andrew Wakefield fixed data on autism” of February 8 th 2009, made extremely serious allegations against me. The articles presented, as fact, allegations that I committed scientific fraud inasmuch as I “changed and misreported results in [my] research” 2 in a paper in the medical journal The Lancet in 1998, with the clear implication that this was intended to create the appearance of a possible link between MMR vaccination and autism and that I did it for money. These allegations are false and/or misleading and will have a hugely adverse effect on my credibility as a scientist and my ability to ever practice again in my chosen field. More importantly, the impact of Mr. Deer’s false and misleading claims upon the perception of medical professionals of the medical disorder suffered by the Lancet children and therefore, the provision of adequate care for autistic children, is potentially devastating.

    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Film Is A

    1 CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Film is a visual form of dominant mass communication because they are able to reach many social segments, as well as having the potential to affect the audience. This is because the contents of the message brought by the film can influence and shape society based on a story that is brought behind the film and not vice-versa. Being the content of the film is a record of reality that grows and develops in the community and then project it to go back in the direction the big screen. The film as a representation of reality society where, the film is a portrait of the reality of a society in which the film was made and brought back in shaping reality of a society based on the codes, conventions, and the ideology of culture wide. ( Irawanto, 1999: 14). Nowadays, there are so many books adapted to movie, but certainly they have changed. The film director intentionally changed the movie because he or she had different point of view. Film is a more sensory experience than reading, beside verbal language, there is also color, movement, and sound. Yet film is also limited: for one thing, there are no time constraints on a novel, while a film must generally compress events into two hours or so. For another, the meaning of a novel is controlled by only one person (the author) while the meaning we get from a film is the result of a collaborative effort by a large number of people.

    -0 . -1‘-"Q *.-\ University of Hawai‘i at M a¯noa Department of Special Education • College of Education Wist Hall • Room 120-A • 1776 University Avenue Honolulu, Hawai‘i 96822 808-956-5599 • Fax: 808-956-4345 • [email protected] Testimony on HB 1269: Relating to Autism Spectrum Disorders Thank you for allowing us to testify. I am Mary Jo Noonan, PhD, BCBA, LBA, and Chair of the Department of Special Education, University of Hawaii at Manoa. HB 1269 rightfully notes that “multiple professionals are qualified to treat autism,” and “that the need for evidence-based treatments for autism spectrum disorders cannot be filled by licensed behavior analysts alone.” We ask that the wording in this bill be changed to recognize that licensed special education teachers are professionals who are qualified to treat autism and are well-trained in behavior analysis. We are concerned with the current wording of this legislation and statute because it restricts the practice of licensed special education teachers—licensed professionals who have behavior analysis clearly within their scope of training and practice. In turn, this legislation prevents the College and other University of Hawaii System (UH) Special Education Teacher Education programs from delivering our accredited and state approved teacher education programs. Specifically, the current legislation does not allow UH Special Education programs to prepare special education teachers to conduct behavioral assessment or to design and implement interventions based in applied behavior analysis. Without applied behavior analysis in their training, special education teacher candidates who graduate from UHM and other state approved programs will not meet state licensing requirements (they will not be completing an accredited program) and will not be prepared to pass the Praxis state licensing exam which includes questions on applied behavior analysis.

Holbrook has been approved by the Examining Committee on May 2, 2013 as satisfying the thesis requirement of the University Honors Program Examining Committee: ___________________________ Thesis Director: Vicky Westra Founder of Artistas Café and Art for Autism ____________________________ Thesis Committee Member: Michael Glisson Manager of Artistas Café ___________________________ Thesis Committee Member: Stephanie Weber, Ph.D Professor, College of Education Abstract Individuals with Autism have tremendous challenges set out for them. Throughout their lives these individuals are told that they cannot succeed. They cannot achieve. Growing up with this mentality, these individuals enter adulthood without an outlet to give back to society. They are unable to find employment due to trepidations and misunderstandings of this disability brought on by a misleading and dangerous medical diagnosis. Unfortunately, this leads to them fading away within the crowd. They become a forgotten statistic amongst their generation. It is time for this ongoing trend to change. In this paper, the challenges and underlying factors of Autism brought on by the outlook of society are thoroughly examined. Moreover, the consequences of the resulting implications for society are similarly brought to light. This paper shows that the untapped capabilities and skills of these individuals are absolutely tremendous if and only if they are given a proper chance within society.

    The Second English Folk Revival, C. 1945-1970 Julia Yvonne Mitchell

    Subterranean Bourgeois Blues: The Second English Folk Revival, c. 1945-1970 Julia Yvonne Mitchell UCL This thesis is submitted for the degree of PhD. 2 I, Julia Yvonne Mitchell, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 3 Abstract This thesis explores the folk revival phenomenon in England, through an original examination of its place in the social and political history of the country after the Second World War. Although its roots stretched back to the early twentieth century, the post- war English folk revival significantly occurred in the context of the nation’s de- industrialisation, and exposed tensions between, on the one hand, a nostalgic lament for a fast-disappearing working class life, and a ‘forward-looking’ socialist vision of working-class culture. The original contribution to knowledge of this project lies in its analytic approach to the English folk revival as an important part of the post-war political culture. It looks at the revival from the outside in, and contextualizes the movement in the social and political story of post-war England, while also placing it within a dynamic transnational framework, a complex cross-Atlantic cultural exchange with its more well-known American contemporary. In so doing, this thesis contributes to the existing historiographies of folk revivalism in England, as well as the social and political historiographical discourses of the postwar period: the continued salience of class in English society; the transformation of the nation’s economic infrastructures; the social and political influence of the Welfare State – the folk revival tapped into all of these overlapping strands, and helped to magnify them.

    Autism Spectrum Disorder in Popular Media: Storied Reflections of Societal Views

    Autism Spectrum Disorder in Popular Media: Storied Reflections of Societal Views Christina Belcher Redeemer University College Kimberly Maich Brock University Abstract This article explores how storied representations of characters with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) are typified in a world that is increasingly influenced by popular media. Twenty commercially published children’s picture books, popular novels, mainstream television programs, and popular movies from 2006-2012 were selected using purposive, maximum variation sampling and analyzed through Krippendorff’s six-step approach to social content analysis. From this 20-unit sample, results show that television characters with ASD tend to be portrayed as intellectually stimulating geniuses who make us aspire to be like them; movies tend to show those with ASD as heroes, conquering seemingly impossible odds; novels tend to present ASD in a complex, authentic context of family and community, rife with everyday problems; picture books appear to be moving towards a clinical presentation of ASD. Common cross- categorical themes portray scientific, clinical, and/or savant-like traits that tend to glamourize challenges inherent to ASD. Keywords: Autism Spectrum Disorder, popular media, perceptions, societal views Christina Belcher (Ph.D., O.C.T.) is a Professor in the Department of Education at Redeemer University College. Her research interests include higher education, worldview, literacy, and technology.

    Indefinite Detention / Enduring Freedom: What Former Detainees’ Experiences Can Teach Us About Institutional Violence, Resistance and the Law By Kimberly Alexa Koenig A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Jurisprudence and Social Policy in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Calvin Morrill, Chair Professor Marianne Constable Professor Laurel Fletcher Professor Jonathan Simon Fall 2013 Abstract Indefinite Detention / Enduring Freedom: What Former Detainees’ Experiences Can Teach Us About Institutional Violence, Resistance and the Law by Kimberly Alexa Koenig Doctor of Philosophy in Jurisprudence and Social Policy University of California, Berkeley Professor Calvin Morrill, Chair This dissertation focuses on the experiences of former Guantánamo detainees as communicated in 78 interviews. An analysis of those interviews centers on former detainees’ “worst” experiences to parse how those experiences might inform society’s understanding of cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment. The dissertation is organized into nine chapters. Chapter one situates this study in the context of the United States’ response to the events of 9/11, with an emphasis on the imprisonment of individuals at the U.S. detention center in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. This chapter summarizes the major philosophical, legal and social science research relevant to detainees’ experiences—including analyses of cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment—and explains how this dissertation contributes to existing empirical work. In this chapter, I argue that Guantánamo is an example of the United States’ use of incarceration as a means of social control that has extended beyond the nation’s borders, and discuss the possible relationship of political-military prisons to the phenomenal growth of supermax prisons in the United States.
