F-M OFFERS VARIOUS HALLOWEEN EVENTS, online at msumadvocate.com PAGE 7 The DVOCATE Tuesday, October 30, 2012 AMSUM’s weekly student newspaper Moorhead, Minn. Vol. 42 Issue 9 Meet Torch Voting varies from state to state Know the guidelines BY MEREDITH WATHNE [email protected] With only one week remaining before the election, the pressure is on to choose a candidate and get out and vote. Whether it’s by absentee, early voting or on location on Nov. 6, citizens are being urged to make their voice heard. When heading to the poll locations to cast your vote this election, make sure you have taken all the proper steps. Living on the boarder can lead to jumbled instructions from both sides, so make sure you know the correct guidelines for your state. Minnesota Residents: In Minnesota, first make sure you are registered to vote. The preregistration deadline has already passed (Oct. 16) but residents are permitted to complete same-day registration. Bring a valid photo ID and proof of residency to same day registration. Examples of valid ID include a drivers license or learners permit, a personal identification card, a student ID card or a tribal ID card. Proof of residency includes a valid water, electric or phone bill with your name matching your photo ID. Secondly, find out where your polling location is. There are four different wards in Moorhead. Ward one has two polling locations, and wards two, three and four each have four polling locations. If you preregistered to vote, you should have received a post card in the mail with your polling location listed. If you are unsure of your polling location, it can be found online at www.sos.state.mn.us/index.aspx?page=134. There will be a polling location on campus in the CMU Ballroom for students that live on campus. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. The MSUM polling location is included in the second ward. North Dakota Residents: North Dakota is the only state in the country that does not require voter registration. In other aspects, the voting regulations are similar to those in Minnesota. There are 16 polling sites in the city of Fargo. To find your polling location visit https://vip.sos.nd.gov/VoterInformationPortal.aspx. Because there is no voter registration in North Dakota, a valid ID is required to vote. In addition, proof of residency JESSICA FLEMING • [email protected] must be shown if you are voting outside your district.

  • Uncle Nick a Film by Chris Kasick
    PRESENTS UNCLE NICK A FILM BY CHRIS KASICK Press Notes DISTRIBUTOR CONTACT PRESS CONTACT Nicole Mikuzis Nathaniel Baruch MPI Media Group Brigade Marketing 773.875.4550 917.551.5851 [email protected] [email protected] UNCLENICKMOVIE.COM SYNOPSIS NOTHING RUINS CHRISTMAS LIKE FAMILY. Lewd, drunken Uncle Nick (Brian Posehn, Mr. Show, The Sarah Silverman Program) stumbles his way through his brother’s cookie cutter-family’s annual Christmas gathering in the hopes of scoring with a super-hot party guest. But the arrival of his equally crass sister coupled with Nick’s liquor-fueled faux pas cause family secrets to bubble to the surface that might spell disaster for the whole clan before the night is over. Presented by Errol Morris, UNCLE NICK is a raucously funny comedy of inappropriate behavior, uncomfortably interrupted trysts, and a monumental overserving of ten-cent beers. DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT I grew up in Cleveland and have seen the city struggle with sports curses and memories of past prosperity. During the holidays, I experience the warm Christmas traditions of my family juxtaposed over a city that feels cold, dark, and grim. This is the genesis of my film UNCLE NICK. On the surface, the character Uncle Nick is a jovial, lewd houseguest on a mission to cause havoc. He is the Anti-Santa Claus. The film plays as an over-the-top party romp, but there’s a parallel undercurrent. Told through the story of 10 Cent Beer Night, in which a riot overtook a Cleveland Indians baseball game, the film chronicles an evening of alcohol, anger, and heartbreak.

  • Upright Citizens of the Digital Age: Podcasting and Popular Culture in an Alternative Comedy Scene
    Upright Citizens of the Digital Age: Podcasting and Popular Culture in an Alternative Comedy Scene BY Copyright 2010 Vince Meserko Submitted to the graduate degree program in Communication Studies and the Graduate Faculty at the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Master of Arts ________Dr. Jay Childers, PhD____________ Chairperson _____ Dr. Nancy Baym, PhD____________ ______ Dr. Suzy D’Enbeau, PhD____________ Committee members Date Defended: ____August 1, 2010___ ii The Thesis Committee for Vince Meserko certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: Upright Citizens of the Digital Age: Podcasting and Popular Culture in an Alternative Comedy Scene _____Dr._Jay Childers, PhD____ Chairperson Date approved:___August 1, 2010 _______ iii Abstract In this thesis I look at how one of our newest communication mediums, the podcast, is being used by a group of Los Angeles-based comedians loosely assembled under the “alternative comedy” label. Through the lens of critical and medium theory, I identify two primary functions of the podcast for this community: 1) as a space for comedy performance involving character- based sketches and stream-of-consciousness conversation and 2) as a meditation on the nature of stand-up comedy that often confronts tensions between popular and folk culture. I argue that these two functions have become generic hallmarks of the alternative comedy podcasting community. As such, they provide important insight into how subcultures reinforce, reinterpret, and manage artistic value in new media environments. Further, the podcast offers an object lesson in the ways that creative artists have exercised a new sense of agency in controlling the direction of their careers.

  • WORST COOKS in AMERICA: CELEBRITY EDITION Contestant Bios (2018)
    Contact: Lauren Sklar Phone: 646-336-3745; Email: [email protected] WORST COOKS IN AMERICA: CELEBRITY EDITION Contestant Bios (2018) CATHERINE BACH Catherine Bach is a true American original. Kicking butt in short-shorts as Daisy Duke in the Dukes of Hazzard was the breakout role that made her a pop icon and sex symbol—and got those shorts into the Smithsonian. However, throughout her career, Catherine has proven her acting chops working alongside some of the best in the business: legends such as Robert Mitchum (African Skies), her mentor Burt Lancaster (The Midnight Man), Clint Eastwood (Thunderbolt and Lightfoot) and Burt Reynolds (Hustle, Cannonball Run II). Catherine has a unique focus and creative energy that enables her to see opportunities for success when it comes to character work and taking the banal to the extraordinary. It is thanks to Catherine’s own sense of style and imagination that Daisy Dukes are now part of the popular vernacular—her character was initially supposed to wear a poodle skirt, but Catherine asked the producers for a shot at creating the character’s wardrobe, with the idea of a more edgy look for an independent character. Catherine’s famous pin-up poster that she styled has outpaced other contemporary beauties and sold over 5 million copies. Catherine is not afraid of adventure and activism; while portraying the lead in African Skies, the first American show filmed in South Africa after Apartheid, she spearheaded the cause of preserving the endangered Black Rhinoceros and testified before U.S. Congress to protect them. She was instrumental in lobbying for the Black Rhino and Tiger Preservation act, which was passed in 1996.
