Ask Archer. Daniel Supanick His Dreams That He's Not a Scumbag THE RETRIEVER WEEKLY FEBRUARY 15, 2011 ARTS 11 Sandler is just not funny in Just Go With It BY DANIEL SUPANICK BIG MOMMAS: LIKE FatHER, LIKE SON [PG-13] Martin Lawrence returns as FBI agent Malcolm Turner, who must go undercover in a girls’ school for the arts as Big Momma. This time, he’s joined by his teenage stepson, Trent, played by Brandon T. Jackson, who goes undercover as Charmaine. Because there’s nothing funnier than guys in fat suits and drag, which has been done in approximately 100,000 movie comedies. Pass. I AM NUMBER FOUR [PG-13] Alex Pettyfur plays John Smith, a fugitive with extraordinary pow- ers and a boring name. He’s on the run from...something. Dianna Agron, Timothy Olyphant, and Teresa Palmer are also in this movie. Timothy Olyphant is also on Justified, which is awesome. Dianna Agron is really cute. I’d date her, you know, if I knew her in real life. Still, looks kinda boring, to be honest. UNKNOWN [PG-13] Liam Neeson plays a guy who wakes up from a coma to find his identity’s been stolen and no one in his life remembers him. What does he do to cope? He kicks some ass, because that’s what Liam Neeson does. Here’s my ten dollars. Go download it for me. Also stars Jennifer Jones and Diane Kruger. COURTESY COLUMBIA PICTURES Adam Sandler stars as Danny, a scheming bachelor who gets his assistant (Jennifer Aniston) to pose as his wife so that the girl of his dreams doesn’t find out he’s a sleaze.

  • Elmore Leonard, 1925-2013
    ELMORE LEONARD, 1925-2013 Elmore Leonard was born October 11, 1925 in New Orleans, Louisiana. Due to his father’s position working for General Motors, Leonard’s family moved numerous times during his childhood, before finally settling in Detroit, MI in 1934. Leonard went on to graduate high school in Detroit in 1943, and joined the Navy, serving in the legendary Seabees military construction unit in the Pacific theater of operations before returning home in 1946. Leonard then attended the University of Detroit, majoring in English and Philosophy. Plans to assist his father in running an auto dealership fell through on his father’s early death, and after graduating, Leonard took a job writing for an ad agency. He married (for the first of three times) in 1949. While working his day job in the advertising world, Leonard wrote constantly, submitting mainly western stories to the pulp and/or mens’ magazines, where he was establishing himself with a strong reputation. His stories also occasionally caught the eye of the entertainment industry and were often optioned for films or television adaptation. In 1961, Leonard attempted to concentrate on writing full-time, with only occasional free- lance ad work. With the western market drying up, Leonard broke into the mainstream suspense field with his first non-western novel, The Big Bounce in 1969. From that point on, his publishing success continued to increase – with both critical and fan response to his works helping his novels to appear on bestseller lists. His 1983 novel La Brava won the Edgar Award for best mystery novel of the year.

REIDELLONDON PUBLISHING HOLLAND: ENGLAND / BOSTON COMPANY: U.S.A. ALVIN I. GOLDMAN WHAT IS JUSTIFIED BELIEF? The aim of this paper is to sketch a theory of justified belief. What I have in mind is an explanatory theory, one that explains in a generalway why certain beliefs are counted as justified and others as unjustified. Unlikesome tradi- tiorial approaches, I do not try to prescribe standards for justification that differ from, or improve upon, our ordinary standards. I merely try to expli- cate the ordinary standards, which are, I believe, quite different from those of many classical, e.g., 'Cartesian', accounts. Many epistemologists have been interested in justification because of its presumed close relationship to knowledge. This relationship is intendedto be preserved in the conception of justified belief presented here. In previous papers on knowledge,1I have denied that justification isnecessary for knowing, but there I had in mind 'Cartesian' accounts of justification.On the account of justified belief suggested here, it isnecessary for knowing, and closely related to it. The term 'justified', I presume, is an evaluativeterm, a term of appraisal. Any correct definition or synonym of it would also feature evaluativeterms. I assume that such definitions orsynonyms might be given, but I am not interested in them. I want a set of substantive conditions that specify when a belief is justified.

    ADAM SANDLER: MENTOR OF MIDDLE-CLASS MASCULINITY AND MANHOOD A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of California State University, Stanislaus In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History By Kathleen Boone Chapman April 2014 CERTIFICATION OF APPROVAL ADAM SANDLER: MENTOR OF MASCULINITY AND FATHERHOOD by Kathleen Boone Chapman Signed Certification of Approval Page is on file with the University Library Dr. Bret E. Carroll Date Professor of History Dr. Samuel Regalado Date Professor of History Dr. Marcy Rose Chvasta Date Professor of Communications © 2014 Kathleen Boone Chapman ALL RIGHTS RESERVED DEDICATION I am dedicating this work to my three dear friends: Ronda James, Candace Paulson, and Michele Sniegoski. Ronda’s encouragement and obedience to the Lord gave me what I needed to go back to school with significant health issues and so late in life. Candace, who graduated from Stanford “back in the olden days,” to quote our kids, inspired me to follow my dream and become all God wants me to be. Michele’s long struggle with terminal kidney disease motivated me to keep living in spite of my own health issues. We have laughed and cried together over many years, but all of you have given me strength to carry on. Sorry two of you made it to heaven before I could get this finished. I also want to give credit to my husband of forty years who has been a faithful breadwinner, proof-reader, and a paragon of patience. What more could any woman ask for? He has also put up with me yelling at my computer and cursing Bill Gates – A LOT.

  • Newsday - Long Island, N.Y
    BELL PROSECUTION DOUBTS: LEGAL EXPERTS SAY WITNESS TESTIMONY THUS FAR BOLSTERS COPS’ CLAIMS THEY OPENED FIRE IN SELF-DEFENSE Newsday - Long Island, N.Y. Author: ANTHONY M. DESTEFANO Date: Mar 10, 2008 Section: NEWS Murray Richman is considered one of the deans of the criminal defense bar in New York City. With nearly 45 years’ experience trying and handling cases, Richman, 70, thought there was strong evidence of guilt against the detectives accused in the Sean Bell shooting - at least until their trial started two weeks ago. Now, he isn’t so sure. Richman is among a number of defense attorneys contacted by Newsday - none of whom have any connection to the case - who believe that so far the charges against the three cops are facing some serious headwind. The trial resumes today in Queens State Supreme Court. “The early impression thus far, to my satisfaction, they [prosecutors] have not made a case beyond a reasonable doubt,” Richman said after court adjourned last week. Richman was commenting in particular about the most serious first-degree manslaughter charge lodged against Detectives Michael Oliver, 36, and Gescard Isnora, 29. They are also accused of assault. Det. Marc Cooper, 40, faces misdemeanor reckless endangerment charges. Bell, 23, was killed and his friends Joseph Guzman and Trent Benefield wounded on Nov. 25, 2006, in a 50-shot fusillade after they partied at the Kalua Cabaret. More evidence to come Richman and the other attorneys stressed that there was still more evidence to come for the prosecution and they could change their minds. But all agreed that witnesses called by the Queens district attorney’s office so far seemed to bolster the police officers’ self-defense argument.

    Policy McMinnville Police Department 309 Polley Manual K TASER™ Guidelines 309.1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE The TASER™ device is intended to control a violent or potentially violent individual while minimizing the risk of serious injury. It is anticipated that the appropriate use of such a device will result in fewer serious injuries to officers and suspects. 309.2 POLICY Personnel who have completed department-approved training are authorized to carry the TASER for use during their tour of duty. Prior to going off duty, personnel are expected to return the TASER to the department's inventory. Officers shall only use the TASERs and cartridges that have been issued by the Department.

(b) All TASERs shall be clearly and distinctly marked to differentiate them from the duty weapon and any other device. (c) Whenever practical, officers should carry a total of two or more TASER cartridges on their person at all times when carrying a TASER.
