Reynolds will resign his position as elementary school principal effec- tive Aug. 31 and he will not be transferring to another posi- tion within the district. “We have his keys and a letter of resignation,” Superin- tendent Sharon Bower told The Chronicle. “... We’re ready to focus on students and learning.” MUSEUM THEFT: Reynolds will start receiving monthly payments in Sep- tember. Bower said paying the $140,000 will not affect any Attorney for Former of the district’s services or benefits. “That’s the benefit of paying over three years,” Bower Director Says He said. “It has far less impact on our students.” Reynolds has remained on paid administrative leave Needs More Time since October of 2011, when a coroner's inquest jury identi- fied him and his son Jonathan as suspects in the December Before Trial / Main 5 1998 shooting death of his wife, Ronda Reynolds, a former state trooper. The jury said that she died in a homicide, not a suicide as initially believed, and determined that Ron and Jonathan Reynolds were responsible. Following the news, the district wanted to fire Reynolds, who has been the principal at Toledo Elementary School since 1997, due to performance issues even though the Lewis County Prosecutor Jonathan Meyer declined to file charges against him because there was insufficient evidence to obtain a conviction. Reynolds and his lawyer, Rick Cordes, fought the termi- nation, originally asking for nearly $400,000 for five years of Reynolds’ $79,324 annual salary plus benefits because they did not believe the district had probable cause for the firing. During the period of alleged poor perfor- mance, Reynolds produced strong state stan- dardized test scores, according to Cordes.

  • Nicole Lawrence Thesis
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Communications SASSY COWS AND MAGICAL JUJU: REPRESENTATIONS OF RACE AND ETHNICITY ON THREE NICKTOONS PROGRAMS A Thesis in Media Studies by Nicole M. Lawrence © 2012 Nicole M. Lawrence Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts December 2012 ii The thesis of Nicole M. Lawrence was reviewed and approved* by the following: Matthew P. McAllister Professor of Communications Thesis Adviser Matthew F. Jordan Associate Professor of Communications Michael Elavsky Associate Professor of Communications Marie Hardin Associate Dean for Graduate Studies and Research *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School. iii ABSTRACT This thesis critiques programming on the children’s media channel Nicktoons for patterns of racial representation -- including the presence of stereotyping -- in characters. As research has shown that representation of ethnicity may be especially influential to children viewers, and that there are precedents for problematic racial representations in popular media, including children's media, the continued examination of patterns of racial-ethnic group member representation and stereotyping in character depictions has significant implications. Utilizing textual analysis, three Nicktoons’ programs are examined for racialized constructions of characters, including constructions with hegemonic and ethnocentric implications. The thesis argues that three programs, Back at the Barnyard, Avatar: The Last Airbender, and Tak and the Power of JuJu problematically construct analogies of African Americans, Asians, and native peoples, respectively. The constructions in these Nicktoons programs typically “other” these groups when contrasted to dominant white culture -- or at least the animated stand-ins for dominant white culture -- and imply cultural hierarchies in which white culture is superior and/or the norm.

Todo comenzó tras las nominaciones a los MTV Video Music Awards, en los que Swift obtuvo nueve menciones, entre ellos Video del Año por Bad Blood. Minaj escribió en su cuenta que lamentaba que MTV no hubiera nominado Anaconda en esa categoría —sí lo hizo en Video Femenino y de Hip Hop— tras el éxito mundial EXCELSIOR que tuvo. Luego dijo que cuando “otras chicas” hacen videos con éxito y muestran MIÉRCOLES 22 DE JULIO DE 2015 a mujeres esbeltas te nominan por Video del Año. Swift se lo tomó personal y le reclamó a Nicki y recalcó que sólo tenía amor para ella.

  • Gender Roles & Occupations
    1 Gender Roles & Occupations: A Look at Character Attributes and Job-Related Aspirations in Film and Television Stacy L. Smith, PhD Marc Choueiti Ashley Prescott & Katherine Pieper, PhD Annenberg School for Communication & Journalism University of Southern California An Executive Report Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media Our earlier research shows that gender roles are still stereotyped in entertainment popular with children.1 For example, female characters in feature films populate less than 30% of all speaking roles. A slightly better percentage emerges across our research on gender roles in children’s television programming. Not only are on screen females present less frequently than on screen males, they are often sexualized, domesticated, and sometimes lack gainful employment. To illustrate this last point, our recent analysis2 of every first run general audience film (n=21) theatrically released between September 2006 and September 2009 reveals that a higher percentage of males (57.8%) than females (31.6%) are depicted with an occupation. While females hold marginally more professional jobs than their male counterparts (24.6% vs. 20.9%), women are noticeably absent in some of the most prestigious occupational posts. Across more than 300 speaking characters, not one female is depicted in the medical sciences (e.g., doctor, veterinarian), executive business suites (e.g., CEO, CFO), legal world (e.g., attorney, judge), or political arena. More optimistically, 6 of the 65 working females (9%) are shown with a job in the hard sciences or as pilots/astronauts. These findings suggest that females have not shattered as many glass ceilings in the “reel” world as one might suspect.
