...media pressure. There, he has had ample time to work on Hurin, which is something of a prequel to the classic Tolkien tales. "It's the first complete tale from the early mythology," says T.A. Shippey, humanities professor at St. Louis University in Missouri. Its antihero is a dark lord and ancestor of Sauron, the evil figure who torments Frodo and Gandalf aeons later. It also focuses on the interaction between humans and elves, a theme which returns in the hobbit books. And at least one Rings denizen - the elf Galadriel - makes a cameo. Some English professors have been frustrated...
Mention German-born filmmaker Uwe Boll?s name in certain circles-especially those of the Internet geek variety - and you?re sure to be pummeled by an onslaught of negative adjectives and metaphors. Indeed, Boll is no stranger to criticism: when his film Alone in the Dark-based on the video game of the same name-came out in 2005, critics called it "overblown, amateurish gibberish," and used it as proof that Boll "belongs in the pantheon of inept directors." His follow-up film BloodRayne, another video game adaptation, was equally panned, and left critics declaring that he was "fast...
...with a calendar publisher, which rejects his attempts to become an artist (his sample illustrations are dreamy, childlike representations of disasters, natural and man-made). The office is dominated by lusty, corner-cutting Guy (Alain Chabat) who besides cracking bad, sexually charged jokes attempts to woo Stephane to the dark side: girls, booze, mild working-world rebelliousness.

Lady Luck suits up for the Bears this time and Harvard falls by a late field goal.Prediction: Brown 26, Harvard 24 CORNELL (0-1) VS. YALE (0-1)Cornell was my dark horse pick entering this season, but shook my confidence with a 20-5 stinker of a loss versus mediocre Bucknell last weekend. The Big Red committed four turnovers, two of them picks by novice thrower Nathan Ford. Luke Siwula got only 13 carries and still managed to top 100 yards...
...left students in the dark about what courses to shop, what seminars to apply for, and how generally to structure their academic futures. Many students have scrambled to individual departments to investigate what requirements may potentially be put in place. But the EPC’s vague guidance as to what might constitute an approvable secondary field has made it tough for departments to publicize their intended requirements with confidence. Unable to post anything on their websites, departments are left to field phone calls from students who can only receive vague and provisional advice. We hope the EPC will consider...
