On Monday night, Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" offered up a retrospective on some of the more curious moments in Herman Cain's run for the White House, which officially began last May with the exclamation, "Aw, shucky-ducky!":
A quick, transcripted taste:
Cain: "'Aw, shucky-ducky' was a way for me to say, 'I'm thrilled to be here. And I am happy that you are happy that I am here.'"
John Oliver: "Why not just say that?"
Cain: "That would be too formal."
John Oliver: "So it would be too formal for an announcement that you are running for the highest office in the land?"
Cain: "Yes."
We know the Comedy Central interview was taped, because Cain was in Dalton on Monday, where the former GOP presidential candidate declared that he could have been the nominee – where it not for "dirty, gutter politics." From the Dalton Daily Citizen:
"If I had not dropped out of the campaign, in all modesty, I would have sewn up the nomination," Cain [said] Monday after a fundraising luncheon for U.S. Rep. Tom Graves, R-Ranger, at the trade center. "I really believe that. I was the lead candidate for four weeks and every week, my lead was getting bigger and we hadn't even had a primary yet. Because people were connecting with my message and I was moving away from all of them, that's why someone dug up the dirty, gutter politics."
Meanwhile, over in Los Angeles, the Braves declared they could have beaten the Dodgers last night, but ran out of innings.

Not too late for you to get back in the race Herman.
After all, you only 'suspended' your campaign.
I am curious though, if "Aw, shucky-ducky" is appropriate for launching a presidential bid, what is the appropriate response for the 3A wake-up call when Iran lobs a nuke into Tel Aviv?
"Drat and dad-blastit"?

Herman was hitting some speed bumps in his campaign. The plethora of relationships that Herman had with women was starting to go viral. If he had a squeaky clean background[like being faithfull to the Mrs] he could have made it.
Look at John edwards, it was full speed ahead for John when he was running for President. Then he decided on a relationship with a campaign worker while Mrs. Edwards was struggling with cancer. Now his approval rating is 3%.
That is what I like about Mitt Romney, a solid family man, a man of character, a man for our time, no drinking, no smoking, honest as the day is long and a solid businessman. He is as good as it gets. What an opportunity for the U.S.

Yesterday morning Mr. Jim Galloway blogged "We told you over the weekend that opponents to metro Atlanta's transportation sales tax had yet to organize for the July 31 vote."

@ Look – The new system did not order the posts by time posted, limited the number of characters, and had a lot fewer comments. Voting only confirms that the vast majority of those who read the AJC are ITP Democrats.
If this is meant to be a blog that inspires debate, such a new system will only stifle it. If this is meant to preach to the choir – it worked good.

As much as I am sure it fits into your rather warped view of the world, Edward's issues are neither partisan nor political. Edwards is a deeply flawed human being, totally bereft of any internal moral compass.
Plenty of folks on BOTH sides of the aisle with that same problem.

The U.S. Senate has its own barbershop. It charges $20 a haircut. It cuts the hair of anyone who wants a haircut, but Senators get in line first. This costs the taxpayers $300,000 a year.
When I was on Ron Paul's staff, I used to get my haircut in the House barber shop. It cost $2. That was in 1976. Today, that would be the equivalent of $8. It was a better deal back then. I suppose the subsidy was greater.
Why not charge whatever it costs to break even? Because that would mean higher haircut prices. Or it might mean a larger advertising budget. Or . . . unthinkable — it might mean hiring non-union barbers.
A private barber shop three blocks from the Senate office buildings can be used for comparison. It is called the Capitol Barber.
Capitol's four barbers and stylists made $22,000 to $30,000 last year with no benefits, manager Lynn Dang said. At the Senate barbershop, formally called Senate Hair Care Services, the top four barbers and stylists made more than twice that — $54,761; $70,349; $73,658; and $81,641 — plus they have a generous 401(k) plan, health care and paid vacation.
Why should taxpayers subsidize haircuts? Because that's part of the deal. Politicians like perks.
The Senate could privatize the barber shop. But that is unlikely. Republicans and Democrats alike agree: it's better to trim taxpayers.

All announcements should be made with a Cain-ism. Think about how much fun it would be:
"The Braves announced that they have sent Jair Jurky-durky packin and flappin to Gwinnett. 9-9-9: He has not yet pitched 9 innings in a single start, has an ERA over 9.00, and wears number four9. It's all Obama's fault. If it weren't for the administration, he'd have already won a Youngy-Cy Award. Obama's cronies made sure that Humber the Stumbler got a perfect game for Chicago."
April 24th, 2012
11:48 am
I am am conservative, but Herman Cain needs to crawl back into the hole he came from. What a POS he turned out to be. He has shown the world his true stripes and now needs to go to the place that Ted Kenndy, Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Newt Gingrich and other who have no moral compass should goo….obscurity.

Obama certainly doesn't lie near as much as Willard. Everything Willard says is a lie.
Young woman asks WMR if he has a credibility problem.

So since he has dropped out, we have never heard another word out of any of the ladies (I use that term loosely) came out and accused him
of sexual advances. Isn't it interesting that in all the different jobs he had over the many years of employment, that the complaints all came from a 3 year stint at the Restaurant Association? It sounded fishy then and really does now. Nobody sued him, nobody had continued to talk about it. I believe it was totally fabricated and monetarily backed by a political foe, R or D.

Chuck, I was thinking the same thing. Except I thought he was only at the Restaurant Association for two years.
April 24th, 2012

You are right. It is very funny that nothing else has happened on the sexual harassment charges against Herman. Very curious indeed. Makes me wonder how much substance there really was to them. But I guess they served their purpose for his enemies- getting him to drop out of the race. Don't think he would have won the nomination anyway, but too bad the way it ended.

If Obama, born in Kenya to a white woman from Kansas and African man from Kenya, reared in Indonesia as a Muslim, and refuses to be forthcoming with his past can become the nominee of the Democrat party, it is not a stretch to believe that Herman Cain, born in Memphis Tennessee to an African American man and woman, loves to flirt with the ladies etc, could have been the nominee of the Republican party in 2012.
If you ask any right thinking American which man is most likely to become the nominee of their party given their backgrounds, 99.99% would have to say Cain.

So when is Jon Stewart planning another "Rally to Restore Sanity"? He wanted to calm the partisan vitriol in our political discourse. The rally came two weeks after singing a song called "Go F*** Yourself" to Fox News, with a gospel choir backing him up, of course.
I watch his show every night because he is hilarious. He is also the dictionary definition of a hippocrite. No one spews more vitriol than him or that show.

At how some of these AJC bloggers allow some people to repeatedly come to their blogs day after day and post all kinds of ignorant s—, yet moderate others' comments who call them on it or put them in their place with facts. I guess the AJC has to keep the crazy going in order to keep the traffic flowing.

The democrats would never let a Black Conservative get elected as President because the DNC would be in fear of losing the black vote and freeing the black political slaves they own. Black Democrat Voters will never get off the Democrat Plantations. They haven't the backbone or nerve to free themselves from the lying dishonest and racist Democrat Party.

Exactly how did democrats prevent Herman Cain from being elected?

I can never understand why some people agree to be part of a Daily Show "comedy" segment! The interview at the end with Stewart maybe. Jon Oliver made HC look stupid!
Herman enjoys the limelight and will make plenty of money on speaking fees! Wonder if he's thinking about running for Senate in 2 years.

WALL-E Reviews
Arizona Daily Star
The film poses as thinking-fans animation, but there's little room for wonder or interpretation in the on-the-nose presentation.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4
Washington Times
WALL*E begins with all the comedic splendor of a Charlie Chaplin film, but quickly devolves into a rickety bore.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4
MovieTime, ABC Radio National
Ultimately, the elevation of technology to center stage, and the relegation of humankind to supporting act, left me cold.
While Wall-E dances whimsically, it's a plodding, frighteningly hypocritical, and forbidding film that trips over its fogged intentions at every dreary turn.
Full Review | Original Score: D+
Too Gloom-E.
Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4
Financial Times
It is delicious for 30 minutes. Then the plot starts.
Cinema Signals
Cutes-E, but not enough gravit-E.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5
The picture feels weirdly, and disappointingly, disjointed, something that starts out as poetry and ends as product.
Vastly overrated movie with all the charm of two vacuum cleaners making love.
Stop Smiling
WALL-E dazzles, particularly in its magnificent first half-hour, a post-apocalyptic love-story in miniature that serves as a graceful introduction to the intergalactic journey that follows.
Daily Mail [UK]
It is indeed a hard movie to explain, but a good story told well transcends any age even without words.
Full Review | Original Score: 4/4
What Culture
This film deserves the Oscar. It deserves every Oscar. And a Nobel Prize for brilliantness. And I bet it would win it too if I hadn't just made it up...
Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/5
It's not often that you find 'post-apocalyptic' and 'delightful' going together in the same sentence, but they're essential to describe the deceptively artful Wall-E.
Full Review | Original Score: 9/10
Watertown Daily Times
WALL-E may contain a simple love story about non-living robots that are full of wires and microchips, but it has more heart than any other movie you will see this year.
Full Review | Original Score: 4.5/5
Entertainment Insiders
WALL-E is something completely different for the kiddie crowd that will hold the attention of adults even with the 'G' rating.
Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4
Seacoast Newspapers (NH/Maine)
The 2001 of animation. It's a sci-fi masterpiece. R2D2 hits The Road. But it's also no Finding Nemo ...
Full Review | Original Score: 3/4
Orlando Sentinel
The idea that an ancient Hollywood musical, with its love duets and foot-tapping dance numbers, would be the thing that awakens emotions in both humans and robots, is pure genius.
Full Review | Original Score: 5/5
Metro Times (Detroit, MI)
As a film critic who has spent too many summers viewing mediocre misfires and uninspired reinterpretations of TV shows, comic books and cult classics, it's immensely satisfying to recommend something as breathtakingly glorious as WALL-E.
Wall*E begins as a truly groundbreaking work and then turns into just another diverting cartoon with some wonderful themes.
Full Review | Original Score: 7.5/10
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
It may well be the best science fiction film in ages, but the movie doesn't need any hyperbolic assertions to draw an audience.Or, alas, to sell its action figures.
Full Review | Original Score: 91/100

Nowadays, there are a plethora of writing products for the beginning and working writer. Many offer great features, and others not so much. Here's the low down on the most highly rated and the stuff you should avoid.
First, let's start with the best products. These have the best features, and have loyal users who wouldn't switch to anything else unless the world ended.
1. Scrivener
This inexpensive software is one of the most intuitive softwares on the market for writers and is highly rated among its users. With several templates from which to work (novel format, short story format, screenwriting format, among others), Scrivener takes a lot of hassle out of writing. Gone are the days when you had to deal with formatting issues as you wrote; now you can just open the type of project you want and start writing. What's great about this software is that you can save everything in one place, since it saves by project instead of by documents. No more hunting for those drafts that are saved all over your computer, and its cork board feature allows you to take notes and store them in the project. It also allows exporting to other major software programs, such as MS Word and Final Draft. This is a great product for the disorganized writer.
2. Final Draft
Final Draft is THE software for screenwriters. Why? It handles the formatting so you don't have to. While it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with how Hollywood wants to see its scripts formatted in any case, Final Draft takes care of virtually all your formatting needs as you write. Like Scrivener, it too has an area where you can make notes.
3. Final Draft AV
For writers who write commercials, corporate and training videos, documentaries, and presentations, Final Draft AV is your ticket. It's the only scriptwriting software on the market specifically designed for these types of writing gigs. It too offers automatic formatting without you having to learn a ton of key commands (saving you a lot of time!). One of its best features is that you can add and delete separate shots within a scene and the scene maintains its format.
4. WriteItNow
This is one of the better writing softwares for PC users. It has useful features in which you can easily organize, keeping all your notes and drafts and whatnot in one place. It sounds a lot like a PC version of Scrivener. Not as pretty, but it gets the job done.
5. Freedom
This last piece of software is not writing software. It's a software that blocks your access to the Internet for a period of time that you specify. If one of your favorite types of procrastination is surfing the Internet, this software can help you curb that temptation. Think of all the work you'll get done by simply banning the Internet from your computer for an hour or so. Best of all, it's free.
And now for the bad. The criteria used for judging these was that they're either not good organizationally or they don't allow the writer to actually write, but make the writer plug and chug information into the software.
1. MS Word
This software wasn't made for creatives. It was made for office work. And you know, that's okay. Novelists and screenwriters weren't in mind when the software was made. The biggest issue with this software is its lack of ease in organization. You save one draft and that's a totally separate file from your second draft. To keep everything together, you have to manually make a folder and hunt down all your drafts, notes, and the like. It's a hassle, and with other writing softwares that are more intuitive, you'd best keep this software for your business letters and other office work.
2. NewNovelist
This software seems to be very rigid. In a five step process, you fill in the blanks to work out your story elements. You get three choices in your type of story: plot driven, character driven, or epic. Then you choose a plot type. (How about they just insert one of Edgar Wallace's plot wheels?) Then you choose your characters: protagonist, antagonist, or extra. Additionally, it touts a thesaurus among its "advanced" features—something you can find in MS Word.
3. Contour
While there's something to be said for the three-act structure, this software feels too "plug 'n chug." Your protagonist (the only character you get to design in Contour) is an orphan at the beginning of the story, then a wanderer, then a warrior, and finally a martyr at the end. Contour gives you a number of Hollywood blockbusters as examples. If you're a beginning writer with absolutely no idea where to begin, this relatively inexpensive software could be your thing.
4. Dramatica Pro
Though this isn't nearly as rigid as Contour or NewNovelist, Dramatica Pro still has too much preparation. It asks an estimated 385 questions about your characters, plots, settings, etc. Not the best tool if you actually want to start writing. However, if you're a beginner or one of those writers who has only a vague idea of where to start, Dramatica Pro may help you out.
5. Master Storyteller
This inexpensive software is in the same vein as Contour and Dramatica Pro in the sense that you're led through the writing rather than driving it yourself. And it's missing a lot of features of the higher end programs. Again, beginning writers might find the tips and suggested exercises helpful, but writers of earlier generations got by just fine without this.

Sizzling at 61: Seymour stuns in bandage dress
Monday's L.A. premiere of Freeloaders put proof to the adage "60 is the new 40" when actress Jane Seymour strode into view. Wearing a body-hugging Herve Leger bandage dress to absolute perfection, the 61-year-old again showed what a combo of good genetics and wise lifestyle choices can do for a grandmom's looks.
Related: Browse thousands of Leger dresses on Bing
What she didn't show off were any obvious signs of plastic surgery. We love the absence of botox-freeze, trout-pout and the mask-like face celebs frequently sport when they go overboard with the fillers. (Seymour, like Helen Mirren, knows that growing older beautifully means letting some signs of aging stay put.) How does she keep that girlish figure? USmag.com quotes her as saying she likes "reasonably healthy food," a bit of "Pilates, Gyrotronics with weights," and trudging through cold "country lanes in England."

To refresh our fall closet, we look to eight chic cliques, from the front-row power couples to street-style bloggers. Even better? Getting the look of your favorite tribe has never been easier—everything we've pulled is $100 or less.
5 fall fashion must-haves
Autumn is upon us, and we've got sweaters, coats and booties on our minds! Below are the first things we'll be buying (or have already bought!) to kick off next season.
The ultimate fall boot guide
As autumn approaches and the opportunity for days spent lying by the beach begins to wind down, there comes a time to trade the sand-strewn sandals of summer in for the bright, shiny new footwear of fall. And what's the best way to kick off your closet in preparation for a brisk temperature drop? The boot. From animal print to glittery, hiking to fringed, our fall boots include everything you need to start the season off on the right foot.
The best back-to-school denim for grown-ups

11 style rules to break right now
You already know wearing white after Labor Day is cool. But menswear is reinventing itself rapidly, leaving some long-held mandates by the wayside, not to mention a bunch of men with a lot of questions. Sure, some style laws are truly inviolable.

Fashion Week A to Z: Vogue's guide to spring 2015 shows
Allow us to be frank: Fashion Week is a bit of a misnomer. What with the global sprawl of shows—from New York to London to Milan to Paris—it really should be Fashion Month. (Or Fashion Forever.) Either way, what better way to kick off the marathon of shows, after-parties, flights, and appointments than with our comprehensive A-to-Z guide to all things Fashion Week? Here, find out what to do, eat, see, wear, and keep your eye on this season.

Last updated at 20:38, Thursday, 29 March 2012
This year's Uppies and Downies series in Workington will feature a special Queen's Diamond Jubilee ball.
The Easter series will see hundreds of competitors from across Workington out in force to battle for bragging rights as the Uppies must get the ball to Workington Hall, while the Downies try to reach the town's dock.
A specially designed jubilee ball has been created by Mark Rawlinson, of Lady Court, Workington, and has red, white and blue piping around it.
The Uppies will be looking for revenge after last year's defeat to the Downies.
Uppies veteran Joe Clark, 60, of High Close, High Harrington, said: "We have had a number of themed balls before and it adds an extra bit of incentive. Each ball is unique and has a story to tell."
The three-game series starts on Good Friday, with the other games on April 10 and 14.
All money raised will go to Help For Heroes, and a charity night at Workington Royal British Legion, St John's Court, will be held on Saturday, May 5.
Mr Clark said: "The anticipation starts to build after January and people on the streets stop and ask me about it.
"The crowds have increased over the years. It's the best supported event in the town.
"It's now a game for fit young men. They condition themselves for it."

text: Hi, What type of Printers do you use within your Art deparments? Currently we are using HP5550 lasers and HP b9180 inkjets. The lasers work well but don't give the quality the photgraphers require. The b9180's produce excellent photo quality prints but aren't very reliable and dont seem to handle the load the pupils have been putting on them recently (over 1000 A3 pages in last two weeks). Any suggestions on a printer that would give me the best of both worlds, or does that not exsist ?

The Academic Council, a committee of faculty, administrators, and students, is responsible for developing the academic policies of the University. The Teacher Education Committee is responsible for Teacher Education policies, and the Graduate Council sets policy for graduate programs. The items listed below describe academic information, policies, and procedures for undergraduate programs.
Curriculum Decisions
All department majors, minors and professional cores are approved by the University's Academic Council or Teacher Education Committee and published with their credit-hour requirements in the Trevecca Catalog.
All presently enrolled students are expected to submit a pre-registration schedule of courses to the Academic Records Office on assigned dates specified in each year's school calendar during the fall and spring semesters. This schedule is made out by the student with the assistance of the faculty advisor and requires the signature of the advisor or electronic submission by the advisor. A late fee is charged for submission of the registration schedule after classes have begun.
The last day to add classes is five days after school starts in any semester including the first day of classes.
Summer School
The University operates on the basis of two semesters during the regular school year (August-May). In addition, summer terms are available with regular courses and selected special course offerings. Two 2 1/2 week mini-terms of morning classes are offered, one in May and one in June. Classes that span the length of both mini-terms are offered in the afternoon. Evening courses are offered in both time periods.
Academic Advising
Students are advised by faculty in the major field of study chosen by the student. The successful planning and completion of the requirements for graduation are the joint responsibility of the student and the advisor. To change a major and/or advisor, the student must submit a request through the Academic Records Office.
Trevecca Nazarene University grants five baccalaureate degrees: Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Business Administration, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Science in Nursing, and Bachelor of Science in Social Work. Two associate degrees, Associate of Arts and Associate of Science are also offered. General requirements for completion of a degree program are listed below. Degrees are awarded only with approved majors. A list of degrees with approved degree majors is provided in the section "Programs by Schools, Divisions, and Departments."
Limitation of Student Load
The average load is 15 hours; the maximum is 18 hours. Students may not register for more than 18 hours unless their grade average for the preceding semester was a "B" and they have the approval of the assistant academic dean. Students who work should limit their academic loads according to the number of hours they work and their level of ability.
Second Major
In place of a minor, some students may have the option of completing a second major by completing all of the specific requirements which are unique to that major, including general education coursework, with the exception of a supporting minor. If the student chooses to meet requirements for a second major, that student must declare an approved degree major as defined above. The degree major will be listed as such on the official transcript and will be the degree included on the student's diploma. The second major will be listed as "second major" on the student's official transcript.
Second Degree
A second Bachelor's degree may be obtained with a minimum of 30 hours of coursework which is in addition to the requirements for the first degree, including meeting all general education, major coursework, and minor coursework requirements for a second major. In no case will more than one degree be conferred upon a candidate on any one conferral date. Second degree candidates are eligible for graduating honor ranks, Honor Society and Dean's List, but not for membership in Phi Delta Lambda.
Students are classified at the beginning of each semester on the basis of work already completed as follows:
Approved entrance credit
30 semester hours college credit
60 semester hours college credit
90 semester hours college credit.
Full-time: Students carrying 12 hours or more each semester. Participation in intercollegiate athletics, college traveling groups, academic scholarships, student government scholarships and most financial aid programs require this minimum academic load. Students should be aware that completing only 12 hours per semester will not enable them to graduate in eight semesters and that some programs may require more than eight fifteen-hour semesters to complete.
Part-time: Students currently enrolled for fewer than 12 hours of work for college credit.
In course listings, numbers enclosed within parentheses opposite the course number and name represent the number of credit hours awarded for the course.
A degree major at Trevecca Nazarene University is a prescribed coursework plan within a broader curricular area (e.g., Religious Studies Major in the curricular area of Religion and Philosophy). Majors offer students an opportunity to focus their learning on theories, skills, and applications relevant to their course of study and the broad curricular area from which the major is offered. Degree majors generally have credit-hour requirements of 30 to 38 semester hours. A small number exceed 38 hours. Specific requirements and a recommended schedule for completing the requirements for a major are listed under each department in this catalog.
Professional cores are courses required for many majors which focus on the more practical applications of the content of the major courses. The professional cores may be referred to as concentrations, emphases, options, support courses and minors. Requirements may vary from 7 to 41 hours.
Concentrations are options that are provided to students as areas of emphasis in some professional majors. Concentrations of 18 hours or less permit minor specialization in the broad area of the major while those of more than 18 hours allow for focused study in the professional area.
Minors allow for additional areas of study. Some are required with particular majors; most are options which may be added to any major or minor creating options for personal enrichment or career enhancement. Requirements vary from 15 to 29 hours.
The degree of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Business Administration, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Science in Nursing, or Bachelor of Science in Social Work is conferred upon successful completion of a major, at least one minor, and 53-57 (or prescribed variation) hours of General Education courses which must be taken by the end of the junior year (except REL 4000). These General Education Core Courses have been selected to give a broad liberal arts training as a foundation to students majoring in any field.
The following provisions apply to all 4-year degrees:
Completion Requirements:
December 2008 candidates
September 30, 2008
May 2009 and August 2009 candidates
December 31, 2008
Curricular Requirements
45 hours (22 associate) of testing (AP, CLEP, DANTES)
32 hours (15 associate) PLC
32 hours (15 associate) military
Basic Skills Competency Requirements
A candidate, including a transfer student, who fails to establish competency through ACT scores in the skills indicated by course titles will be required to establish competency by taking the following courses graded on an S-IP basis. Enrollment in these courses is required as a condition of enrollment in other regular courses and will be required each semester until competency is attained. Students placed in Elementary Algebra (INT 0950) only, however, may wait to enroll in it until their second semester at Trevecca, giving them an opportunity to review math concepts and possibly test out of it during their first semester.
Students are allowed only four semesters to complete competency. These hours will be in addition to the 120 hours required for graduation:
Foundations in English Learning Strategies
3 hours
Elementary Algebra*
3 hours
Study Skills**
2 hours
*Students who are required to take MAT 1055 or MAT 1044 will be required to take INT 0960 Intermediate Algebra in addition to INT 0950.
**Study Skills carries regular university credit, a letter grade, and is required of any AEP student who is taking a combination of English strategies and math developmental courses. Students enrolled on academic restriction are also required to take Study Skills.
Freshman Leadership Course Requirement
All first-time freshmen (those enrolling with less than 24 hours) are required to enroll in this course that will introduce them to Trevecca Nazarene University. The course curriculum is designed to empower students to make a successful transition from high school to college and discover their unique calling and purpose.
INT 1100 Life Calling and Purpose (3)
The candidate must meet the following General Education requirements which should be taken during the freshman and sophomore years but no later than the junior year, with the exception of REL 4000.

Course work can count toward the completion of a major or minor and simultaneously satisfy a general education requirement. This can be done by: (a) waiver of a general education requirement when the completion of a course listed as part of the general education core directly contributes to the fulfillment of a major or minor, as approved by the department; (b) substitution of one or more courses completed to fulfill a major or minor for a course in the general education core in the same field, as approved by the Academic Council.
In addition to the above 4-year degrees, Trevecca offers the Associate of Arts degree and the Associate of Science degree in selected paraprofessional programs of study. These 2-year programs are career-oriented and require approximately one year in general education including six hours of required religion courses. The balance of the program is in the specialty area selected. The University requires 60 semester hours of work with a 2.00 grade point average for graduation with the AA or AS degree. The residency requirement for the AA or AS degree is 15 hours (exclusive of credit not listed as course work in the University Catalog).
Trevecca's Academic Enrichment Program (AEP) is a special program for students who are granted admission on academic restriction or required to take work in two competency areas based on their ACT scores in English, math, and reading. Students placed in developmental courses (with the exception of those placed in developmental math only) must register for them during their first semester of attendance and must successfully complete their required classes by the end of their fourth semester. Students placed in Elementary Algebra (INT 0950) only, however, may wait to enroll in it until their second semester at Trevecca, giving them an opportunity to review math concepts and possible test out of it during their first semester.
Developmental courses are graded on an S, IP, U, and F basis and do not count toward graduation. They do count as institutional credit in the areas of finance and athletic eligibility. Study Skills (INT 1010) which carries a letter grade and regular university credit is the exception.
English and Reading
Students with English ACT scores of 17 and below and/or reading scores of 15 and below will be placed in an English strategies course.
Students with math ACT scores of 19 and below will be placed in a developmental mathematics course.
Study Skills
Students required to take these courses may not withdraw from them unless they are withdrawing from all University courses. Any variation in the requirements must be approved by the Academic Services Committee.
AEP Probation and Suspension
To encourage and ensure satisfactory progress toward a degree, the Academic Affairs Office administers the following system of probation and suspension. As a student advances in class, the minimum academic level increases according to the following scale to assure that the 2.0 minimum average requirement is met for graduation.
Probation Limits By Student Classification
Hours Attempted
Probation Level
Four-Year Degrees:
less than 1.60
less than 1.80
less than 1.95
less than 2.00
Two-Year Degrees:
First Year
less than 1.80
Second Year
less than 2.00
All students' records will be evaluated at the end of fall and spring semesters. Probation and suspension will be based on the cumulative grade point averages of each of these semesters. Transfer students with grade point averages below minimum standards will be entered on probation.
Probation: designation after a semester in which a student fails to achieve the minimum cumulative GPA for his or her class standing. Students on probation are required to have their class schedules approved by the assistant academic dean before they are allowed to register and are required to maintain a 2.0 average for courses taken during the semester of probation to avoid suspension the following fall term. Students on advice of the assistant academic dean may be required to include a study skills course in their schedule during their semester of probation.
One-Semester Suspension: designation fall semester after a student fails to maintain a 2.0 for the courses taken during a spring semester of probation.
Two-Semester Suspension: designation the second time a student fails to maintain a 2.0 for courses taken during a spring semester of probation.
Right to Appeal Academic Suspension
If there were extenuating circumstances (illness or family emergency) during a semester previous to suspension, a student may appeal in writing to the Admissions Committee for waiver of suspension. The extenuating circumstances and their probable solution should be documented in writing by someone such as a doctor, parent, pastor, or appropriate school official. If a waiver is granted, failure to maintain a 2.0 for the term GPA in the semester in which the waiver is granted or any subsequent semester prior to being removed from probation automatically moves the student to the next suspension designation.
No student on academic or social probation will be allowed to fill any major office.* Students must have a 2.5 average to be approved for election to major offices.** Students serving the University as official representatives in any capacity, such as SGA officers, intercollegiate athletics, forensic team, and nonacademic musical groups, must not be on academic or social probation.
*All SGA members, class and club presidents, business managers of publications.
** If new freshman, student must have an ACT Composite score of 19 or above. Freshman officers cannot be in AEP.
Grades Which Carry Quality Points
Quality Points Per
Semester Hour
Grades Which Carry No Quality Points

May also be used for practicum-type courses when pre-planned activities extend over two different grading periods. Must be removed within the first seven weeks following the semester (including summer) or grade becomes a permanent F. Seniors expecting to graduate must have all I's removed prior to the conferral date.
Granted to students who officially withdraw from a class during the first 9 weeks. May be assigned by the assistant academic dean for extenuating circumstances after the last day to withdraw.
Credit toward graduation, but no quality points. Courses numbered below 1000 carry institutional credit but no credit toward graduation.
In ProgressIP
No credit. Given in developmental courses and ENG 1010 and 1020 to students who need additional time to complete competencies. May be changed to F if student fails to register for the course the next semester he or she is enrolled.
No credit.
No credit.
Minimums for Graduation
120 semester hours and a 2.00 grade point average are required.
Prior Learning Credit
This University recognizes the validity of prior learning and provides opportunity to receive academic credit for college-level learning from experience, professional schools, or training. Up to 32 semester hours of academic credits for a BA or BS degree and 15 semester hours for an AA or AS degree are allowable with proper validation and approval. Such credit will be awarded only after 12 semester hours have been completed at TNU. This program is administered through the Academic Support Office.
Transient Credit From Other Colleges
Students are not permitted to register for courses in other institutions while attending Trevecca without the approval of the director of academic records. The University reserves the right to reject any courses submitted which were not first approved. Students who owe the University money or are on academic probation or suspension will not be allowed to take work at another college as an approved transient student.
Scholastic Honors
Dean's List. Each semester the Dean's List is composed of those students carrying 12 or more hours who achieve a 3.5 grade point average. Students who are required to take developmental courses may not be listed until all developmental courses are successfully completed.
Graduating Honors. Students of high scholastic standing will graduate with honors, according to the following criteria for each honor rank:
With Distinctionrepresenting a cumulative standing of at least 3.5 for AA or AS degree candidates only.
Cum Lauderepresenting a cumulative standing of at least 3.5.
Magna Cum Lauderepresenting a cumulative standing of at least 3.7.
Summa Cum Lauderepresenting a cumulative standing of 3.9 or above.
Phi Delta Lambda is the national honor society of the colleges and universities of the Church of the Nazarene. Each college or university maintains a chapter, the one at Trevecca Nazarene University being the Zeta chapter. Honor graduates are eligible for election to membership in this chapter. Elections are held each year by the faculty during the commencement season. Membership each year may not exceed 15 percent of the graduating class.
The Honor Society. At the end of each spring semester the Honor Society membership list includes those students (24 hours and above) who have a cumulative average of 3.5 for the previous fall and spring semesters. Members are inducted the following year. Transfer student requirements are outlined in the Honor Society Constitution. Students who have not completed all required developmental courses are not eligible for membership.
Students may audit courses for an N (no credit) grade at a reduced fee. Although courses are usually audited only for no credit, they may be audited before or after they are taken for credit. Professors are not obligated to evaluate work, and students are not obligated to do assignments; however, assignments may be completed and evaluated by mutual consent. The registration status of courses may not be changed from audit to credit or from credit to audit after the initial drop/add period.
Each regular course must have a minimum of two significant evaluative measures (preferably exams)at least one by mid-term.
After a professor has assigned a grade in a course, changes may be made only for clerical errornever to allow a student to complete or do extra work. Changes must be approved by the dean of academic affairs.
Students may repeat courses if the second course is equivalent in content to the first. The repeat grade is the grade recorded as part of the GPA. Course equivalencies are decided by department coordinators, director of academic records and assistant academic dean. A failed course may not be repeated by directed study.
Permanent Record Defined: The permanent record of the student is comprised of the transcript, program of study, disclosure forms, and other pertinent academic records.
Retention and Disposal of Permanent Records: The student records are filed permanently in the Academic Records Office.
Official Transcripts: The transcript of a student's academic record will be released by the director of academic records only upon receipt of a student's written request. No degrees or certificates will be awarded and no transcript of credit will be issued until all financial obligations to the University are discharged in full and a student's academic file is complete in the Academic Records Office.
Unofficial Transcripts: Currently enrolled students may obtain an unofficial student copy of their transcript from the Academic Records Office and may view and copy an unofficial copy of their transcripts using their IQ web accounts.
Transcripts of Transfer Credit: A transcript of a student's record from another university or college is not forwarded to a third institution. The student should request another transcript from the original institution.
Trevecca Nazarene University recognizes a student's right to appeal decisions and practices that affect his or her academic status without fear of punishment or unfair treatment. A student can expect the University to deal with a final course grade appeal sincerely, objectively, within a reasonable time frame, and as appropriate, in confidence. Appeals will be heard when the student alleges that an arbitrary, capricious, or prejudiced evaluation or a mechanical error has occurred. The purpose of the appeal process is to treat all parties fairly and to alert all parties to the appeal procedure. During the appeal, the burden of proof is on the student, except in the case of alleged academic dishonesty, in which case the professor must support the accusation. The student may have an advisor or friend present during all meetings with faculty, administrators, and/or committees; he or she may counsel the student but may not speak for the student during the meetings. The grade appealed shall remain in effect until the appeal process is completed, or the problem resolved.
Order of Appeal
Should a student feel there is concrete reason to appeal a course grade, these procedures should be followed sequentially:
1. The University supports and encourages responsive and respectful dialogue between faculty and students when there is a disagreement about a final course grade. Whatever the nature of the grade appeal, the student must make an effort to first discuss the matter with the faculty member. In order to begin the appeal process, students must initiate a complaint to the faculty member in writing or via e-mail within 15 calendar days of the posting of a final grade. The faculty member will provide a written response within 15 calendar days of receiving the letter or e-mail from the student.
2. If the student is not satisfied with the faculty member's response or lack of response, the student shall contact the person designated in the table as the second level of appeal (either the program director or department coordinator) within 30 calendar days of the posting of a final grade. The contact needs to be in writing. Upon receipt of the written appeal, the program director or department coordinator will communicate with the student within 30 calendar days to attempt to resolve the issue.
3. If after the meeting with the program director or department coordinator, the student is still not satisfied with the decision, the student may choose to file an appeal to the school dean in which the course under appeal is housed. This appeal must be in writing within 15 calendar days of the previous contact with the program director or department coordinator. The dean will contact the student within 15 calendar days of receiving the appeal in an attempt to resolve the issue. The dean may elect to include or consult with others in evaluating the appeal. The decision of the dean is final.
The following diagram illustrates the order of appeals for specific programs. In the event the professor happens to be a department coordinator, program director, dean, or division chair, the appeal will be submitted to the next higher academic officer. In other words, every student will have the right to have his/her appeal heard by the professor and two other academic administrators.
The student may elect to discontinue the appeal process at any level.
The failure of the student to proceed from one level of the appeal procedure to the next level within the prescribed time limits shall be deemed to be an acceptance of the decision previously rendered. All further considerations and proceedings regarding that particular appeal will cease at that point. Under unusual circumstances, deadlines may be extended.
The following table illustrates the specific person to whom an appeal is directed, depending upon the academic program in which the course under appeal is offered. The three levels of appeal must be followed sequentially.

A career internship is a credit-bearing, elective course which places a student in a professional setting in his or her career field. The student is under the contract supervision of a professional for one semester. The purpose is to provide the student an introduction to job search skills, a clarity of career focus, an apprentice learning experience, and networking opportunities for future career employment.
Career Internships, only offered in majors where professional experience is not already built into the required curriculum, are coordinated by the internship coordinator (Career and Counseling Center) and require a faculty sponsor within the academic department. Career Internship planning should be initiated the semester prior to the internship and must be done according to processes described in Trevecca Internships Guidelines. A total of six credit hours may be earned. Two internships are recommended prior to graduation.
Regular class attendance is expected of all students. Each professor includes his or her attendance policy in the class syllabus at the beginning of each semester. Absences for any reason may be taken into account in the evaluation of a student's work.
If the disenrolling absence is before the end of the ninth week as published in the school calendar in the Catalog, the grade will be W. If it is after the end of the ninth week, the grade will be F unless a W for extenuating circumstances is assigned by the assistant academic dean in consultation with the professor and/or program dean.
Excused absences will require one of the following evidences:
Work related absences are not considered excused absences. If students are disenrolled for absences, they may apply for reinstatement within a week of the disenrollment. The application must be made to the Academic Affairs Office and include proofs of the excused absences and absence and grade reports from the professor. A committee composed of the assistant academic dean, the student's advisor, and the student's professor will make the decision concerning the student's reinstatement. The reasons for all absences are considered, not just the last disenrolling absence.
However, students in the Honor Society will be allowed unlimited cuts in a course where the nature of the course does not depend on class participation. The professor of the course will decide whether the allowance will be granted or not.
Please consult the assistant academic dean concerning any questions about the policies and how they apply to a particular situation.
A schedule of classes and examination times is published each year for the next school year. The University reserves the right to cancel a class with fewer than ten students enrolled and to make necessary changes in schedules and programs.
A limited amount of directed study is available for students to do individual research, special problems, and further study in a particular subject area. Regular courses are not to be taken by directed study except in cases regarding unavoidable class schedule conflicts with graduation requirements in the senior year. Students are expected to arrange their work schedules to accommodate class schedules and should not request directed studies to accommodate work schedules. When regular courses are taught by directed study, they must have essentially the same requirements as those taught in the classroom, including exams. A student is limited to one course of directed study per term and a total of 12 hours credit by directed study. Students on academic probation are not permitted to take any courses by directed study. A failed course may not be repeated by directed study. A fee is charged for a directed study. Post Baccalaureate students must pay regular tuition rate plus directed study fees for a Directed Study.
A minimum of a mid-term and final exam are required in regular courses, although some courses may have three or four exams. Final examinations must be taken at officially scheduled times. Permission will not be given to take final examinations early. All exceptions for finals given at a later time must be approved by the Assistant Academic Dean. Final exam schedules are available online and on class syllabi the first day of class. Therefore, students are responsible to ensure that all travel arrangements are made so that all exams can be completed as scheduled.
Trevecca is a computer networked campus; therefore, it is important for each full-time student to have a network login username and password issued by the Office of Information Technology (ITS). The network login provides direct access to all network applications and programs and the Intranet Campus Exchange (ICE). Most professors and administrators communicate information to individual students using campus email. Additionally, a growing number of Trevecca's on-campus courses are supported by Angel (c) course delivery software for assignments, discussions, announcements, and quizzes. In these computer-supported classes, students are provided with an additional login and password to access course sites via the Internet. Login information for these sites is provided by individual instructors on the first day of the class. For login or password assistance with Angel, please contact the ITS HelpDesk at email@example.com or by calling campus extension 1223.
A student withdrawing from a course will receive a grade of W in a class anytime up to end of the ninth week. After the ninth week, students who withdraw will receive a grade of F unless they appeal to the assistant academic dean, who may approve a W for extenuating circumstances. No student may withdraw during the week and a half before finals. If the student withdraws from any course without following the proper procedure with the Academic Records Office and Business Office, the grade in the course will be recorded as F. Students may not withdraw from required developmental courses.
Withdrawals, especially if student status drops to part-time, may affect financial aid, athletic eligibility, veteran status, insurance benefits, and graduation plans. Students should consult appropriate advisors prior to processing withdrawals.
A student who finds it necessary to withdraw from all of his or her courses must secure the proper forms from the Student Development Office and complete them to ensure accurate grades and financial arrangements.

Our Newest Diplomat, Steven Seagal, Makes A Mockery Of Chechen Folk Dance
- Viral
Action star Steven Seagal went along on a diplomatic mission to Chechnya with six senators hoping to gather information on the Boston Marathon attacks.
The group included Rep. Michele Bachmann and Rep. Dana Rohrabacher, and was intended as a fact-finding mission to the Northern Caucus, since bombing suspects Dzhokhar and the late Tamerlan Tsarnaev were ethnic Chechens from nearby Dagestan.
At a press conference in Moscow, Rohrabacher, a congressman from California, said there was nothing specifically that the delegation uncovered that could have prevented the attack. "Radical Islam is at our throat in the United States, and is at the throat of the Russian people," he said.

GREEN BAY, Wis (WSAU) The Better Business Bureau is warning about counterfeit Packers-Vikings tickets for Sunday's game at Lambeau Field. It's not clear how many fake tickets have been sold. Usually the extent of the problem isn't known until game day, when more than one person shows up for the same seat.
Green Bay police say counterfeit tickets have been a big problem for other games -- including the Packers last playoff appearance two seasons ago.
The B-B-B says to buy on-line tickets only from a reputable ticket broker, and not to pay with cash. Authentic tickets also have a Green Bay Packers watermark on the back.

To clarify off Boobah; We try and split all of the class roles into their own weekly column as demand sees it. Warriors and Death Knights haven't been split into two different columns because their respective writers generally keep very good pace with both their tanking and DPS roles.
Druids are slightly awkward somewhat due to how it all came about. Originally, Allison handled all three druid specs. However, she primary plays as a bear and restoration druid and she didn't feel like she was able to give balance druids, whom were growing in popularity, the quality of information we like to provide. I was then brought in to cover that side of druids while Allison kept on with feral/restoration information.
More recently, druids have become an increasing popular class with more and more readers asking for either more feral or more restoration information. Allison found that having only one article a week to dedicate to all three aspects she was covering -- Cat, Bear, and healing -- just wasn't keeping pace. This prompted us to bring in Chase to cover all of the Cat information. That's why the druid columns seem a little off-ish in comparison to, say, paladins.

Map Shows Newspaper Endorsements in US Presidential Election
Philip, from infochimps, maps newspaper endorsements using data from the Editor & Publisher's list. Circles with the blue radial gradient are newspapers that endorse Obama and John Kerry in 2004 while the red ones show McCain/Bush endorsements. The lighter blue circles are newspapers that endorse Obama, but actually endorsed George Bush in 2004. It's a similar encoding for the John McCain endorsements except in red and the flip being John Kerry. Circle size is newspaper's circulation.
The only thing I found a little weird was that the Dem to Rep or Rep to Dem endorsements were represented with all blue or all red. It certainly makes the circles stand out - which was the point - but doesn't really indicate a flip. I had to mouse over the circle to find that out.
[via FlowingData Forums | Thanks, mrflip]

Huh? Your explanation isn't correct. The circles with a gradient/border are the ones that flipped parties between 2004 and 2008; the lighter circles are the ones that endorsed the same party across the elections.
@Reader – No. Circles with a gradient fill don't have a border.
Wouldn't it be cool if all the newspapers were reporting news instead of choosing sides and skewing information to endorse a particular POV?
Of course, that wouldn't make for a very interesting map… just a bunch of grey circles. Hmmm… but then people would be forced to THINK about the issues themselves and make a truly 'informed' choice about X.
@Bryan – reporting just news and facts? ridiculous

Defending an actress is good. I understand how it feels when your favorite actress gets a lot of hate. It's annoying and you get the feeling that people are hating on you too (really!). But what I also hate is that people defend their favorite actress and at the same time bash another actress. That doesn't make you any better than the haters you're speaking of. Because you are being a hater as well. I think a lot of people don't realize that.
Dear people on this planet, stop judging, hating and comparing actresses!
It won't get you anywhere…
Also all these confessions about Katrina and Sonam are really making me sick. After 200 confession about their acting skills, facial expressions, dancing skills and whatever we understand how some people think of them. You don't need to 'confess' it anymore, because 200 others did it for you. It is hardly a confession anymore. Just stop it already.
Maybe this will sound very dramatic or harsh, but these actresses are human beings with feelings. You seriously don't know what your hateful words can cause….
Of course you can have an opinion about someone's acting, dancing or whatever. And of course you are allowed to express your feelings. But be mature and use the right words for that. Do you really hate someone or wishing them the worst of the world..?
Life is too short to spent so much time hating on others ;)
This is for all the haters:
I completely agree.
As for the people who say Katrina shouldn't be successful or act with the top men because she can't properly speak Hindi — seriously?! I am actually MORE impressed with that girl because she didn't originate in India, or from some famous family, and yet by her own hard work and determination, she is one of the top actresses in the business today! She is even more admirable to me since Bollywood is such an insular, exclusionary entity.
I think a lot of these "confessions" (about any actress) stem from plain ol' envy. Get over it, okay? Haters to the left.

Here is a thing I made.
Colour Flight by Len Lye
Twittering Machine (Die Zwitscher-Maschine) by Paul Klee:
The "twittering" in the title doubtless refers to the birds, while the "machine" is suggested by the hand crank. The two elements are, literally, a fusing of the natural with the industrial world. Each bird stands with beak open, poised as if to announce the moment when the misty cool blue of night gives way to the pink glow of dawn. The scene evokes an abbreviated pastoral—but the birds are shackled to their perch, which is in turn connected to the hand crank.
Upon closer inspection, however, an uneasy sensation of looming menace begins to manifest itself. Composed of a wiry, nervous line, these creatures bear a resemblance to birds only in their beaks and feathered silhouettes; they appear closer to deformations of nature. The hand crank conjures up the idea that this "machine" is a music box, where the birds function as bait to lure victims to the pit over which the machine hovers. We can imagine the fiendish cacophony made by the shrieking birds, their legs drawn thin and taut as they strain against the machine to which they are fused.
Klee's art, with its extraordinary technical facility and expressive color, draws comparisons to caricature, children's art, and the automatic drawing technique of the Surrealists. In Twittering Machine, his affinity for the contrasting sensibilities of humor and monstrosity converges with formal elements to create a work as intriguing in its technical composition as it is in its multiplicity of meanings.
Grounds for Sculpture is the most (perhaps only?) worthwhile destination in New Jersey, just so you know.

On orders over £500 Standard Delivery is free, while orders over £1000 qualify for free Priority Delivery, wherever you are.
Please see our Delivery Options page for a full run down of the delivery services we offer.
Because all our products are handmade in limited runs, we don't always hold stock of every item.
If the piece you crave is available, but not currently at the studio, you will see a little note that it is 'Made to Order'.
Worry not, you will have your jewel, but it may just take a little while longer as we have it made especially for you.
You will be informed if this is the case – and orders take anything between 10 – 28 days to complete, depending on the complexity of the piece. We will update you of the expected delivery time with your confirmation email.
If you have any queries, or are in an exceptional hurry please email the team on email@example.com and we will do our very best to help you.
Time in the manufacture means a quality, luxury product that will be with you for ever.
Thank you for your patience.
We are happy to organise Valuation of your piece after completion – at a standard cost of 3% of the value of the piece.
We can also have your piece photographed, or even organise a fashion photo-shoot with yourself and your piece as the stars, using professional photographers and stylist to bring the best out in both of you!Just let us know whatever it is that will fulfill your wildest dreams.
We understand jewellery.
We know that it is something personal, something intimate, something that writes its own history for its wearer.
With this in mind we know that our clients often like to personalise the jewellery they order from us.We are happy to engrave your piece – with initials, a secret message to a loved one, or poignant word or two to mark a moment in time …
We can also change the colours of the stones we use, or even the metal - each piece is hand made here in London, so your wish is our command.
Please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com with your personal requests.
Dust, pollution and daily wear can all add to the gradual dulling of your beautiful jewels. The brilliance of a gemstone can become clouded and the surface of platinum and gold lose its shine.
We suggest that your jewellery receive periodic professional maintenance. You can take your pieces to a local jeweller to be cleaned, or contact our Client Desk and we can organise this service for you.
However, between professional cleanings, we recommend the occasional bit of DIY!
Most diamond and precious stone jewellery (with the exception of opals and emeralds) can be cleaned in warm water, using a mild detergent such as Fairy Liquid. You will be surprised at how effective this is. You can also use a very soft toothbrush to get into any hard-to-reach nooks and crannies. Always dry your jewellery after cleaning with a soft cloth.
Since many genuine gemstones and especially pearls are quite delicate, hot water, harsh chemicals and cleaners should be avoided at all times.
Very porous stones such as pearls, opals and emeralds should be cleaned using an untreated, dry, soft cloth ONLY. We do not recommend the use of any jewellery polishing cloths which have been treated with cleaners or polishing agents.
You should keep all jewellery in an enclosed space - for example in a pouch or polythene bag inside a jewellery box.
Jewellery with stones other than diamonds may need other care, we have given you a brief summery below – if you have any further questions our client services team will be happy to help, simply email our Client Desk.
Hannah Martin offers gifting in a traditional and simple way as our gift vouchers allow you to nominate an amount to cover or contribute towards your loved one's choice from our repertoire of designs.
Never predictable in our execution, our vouchers are hand set and printed on a truly rare Albion Press in the heart of East London, making them an object of desire to treasure long after the value has been spent.
Each card has its own uniquely generated code, allowing the recipient to use them against any purchase online or for bespoke orders.

"TMNT: Chroniques Des Tortues Ninja" Volume 2 .. by Wetta Worldwide / Dagon Editions (( 2009 )) [[ Courtesy of JL ]] on Flickr.
Via Flickr:
• •
"I had kind of a cool surprise when I got into work today. On my drawing table there was a couple of nifty little digest-sized TMNT reprints. They both featured material from the Tales series and are printed under the title "TMNT: Chroniques Des Tortues Ninja".
I've seen French reprints of the Turtles before, although I don't think anything of my stuff. I would love to see, and it's been brought up to Pete, to try to possibly do some American reprinting of the old Turtle comics in this type of format. Something about them- I've always been attracted to digest comics and from what I can tell, the art doesn't seem to suffer under the reduced size.
TMNT: Chroniques Des Tortues Ninja is published by Wetta Worldwide and Dagon Editions. Thanks go to whoever left them on my desk. " — Jim Lawson
