A public meeting with angry residents and eager reporters is a
common feature on the local news. Whether addressing environmental,
or other issues, the experience for the board members, consultants,
and specialists at these meetings ranges from uncomfortable to
nightmarish. The issues discussed in these meetings usually stem
from years of community disappointment, mistrust, fears, factions,
political or social positioning, or all of the above. Industry
faces a labyrinth of environmental and business regulations, and
unique challenges in dealing with the public and the media.

Lawrence, Ashton Kutcher and Gary Sinise. When a domesticated
grizzly bear called Boog (Lawrence) gets lured into leaving the
creature comforts of home by a fast-talking mule deer named Elliott
(Kutcher), he finds himself lost in the woods just three days
before hunting season begins. Forced to rough it in the great
outdoors, Boog goes native, rallying all the forest animals to take
back their home and send the hunters packing.
Triple bill of horror movies. 'Hiding' (2012) stars Ana Villafañe
as a young woman attempting to begin a new life following the
brutal murder of her parents. Taken into the care of a witness
protection programme, a new identity is established for Jo
(Villafañe) in Montana and she leaves her home in New York and her
past life behind. Unfortunately, when a man known as Mr Ostrog
(Dean Armstrong) appears and begins to take an interest in her, Jo
could be forgiven for thinking that the protection programme has
failed to keep her identity safe from the man she is due to testify
against. In 'The Victim' (2011) Annie (Jennifer Blanc)'s camping
trip with her friend, Mary (Danielle Harris), goes disastrously
wrong when Mary is savagely attacked and Annie witnesses her
murder. As she flees through the woods from pursuers Harrison (Ryan
Honey) and Cooger (Denny Kirkwood), Annie comes across a small
cabin inhabited by the loner Kyle (Michael Biehn), but will he help
her or hinder her? 'Beneath the Dark' (2010) is a psychological
thriller from first-time director Chad Feehan. Driving through the
Mojave Desert on their way to the wedding of an old college friend,
Paul and Adrienne (Josh Stewart and Jamie-Lynn Sigler) stop for the
night at Roy's Motel. Confronted by a surreal atmosphere and their
equally strange hosts, Frank and Sandy (Chris Browning and Angela
Featherstone), Paul begins to feel uneasy about his new
surroundings and wonders what lies in store for them.
Triple bill of zombie films. 'Zombie Apocalypse' (2011) is a
made-for-TV horror starring Ving Rhames in which a group of human
survivors of a zombie outbreak set out to make it to an uninfected
island. Ramona (Taryn Manning), Billy (Eddie Steeples) and Kevin
(Gerald Webb) are almost killed when they head out to search for
food. Fortunately for them, they meet a tough group that includes
Henry (Rhames) and Cassie (Lesley-Ann Brandt), who take on the
zombies with weapons as diverse as a sledgehammer and a samurai
sword. 'Abraham Lincoln Vs Zombies' (2012) is a tongue-in-cheek
zombie horror in which Abraham Lincoln is distracted from his
composition of the Gettysburg Address by a more pressing concern -
an outbreak of the undead. Lincoln (Bill Oberst Jr.) leads a team
of Secret Service agents to the area to try and contain the
disaster. There is a suggestion that Lincoln may have some
experience of dealing with zombies from his past and he takes under
his wing a youngster by the name of Teddy Roosevelt (Canon
Kuipers), who may have a role of his own to play in the American
story. 'The Dead' (2010) is a zombie horror set in West Africa.
Robert Freeman stars as Lieutenant Brian Murphy, a military
engineer who finds himself stranded in the wilderness of Burkina
Faso after a zombie outbreak lays waste to civilisation. Eventually
he teams up with Sergeant Daniel Dembele (Prince David Oseia), a
local soldier who has gone AWOL from the army to search for his
missing son.

Musical drama in which a pair of aspiring musicians with
unglamorous day jobs team up in a bid to find success. Nate (Alec
Newman) works in the financial services industry during the day,
identifying struggling companies in order to bet against them on
the stock market and bring home profit. Aware of the job's inherent
unpleasantness, he seeks refuge at night playing the piano and in
his dreams of life as a professional musician. One night, while
playing his music, he hears someone singing along on the street
outside. It turns out to be Chloe (Amy Adams), a cloakroom worker
from the nearby jazz club who also dreams of a better life.
Recognising the beauty of Chloe's voice, Nate suggests that the
pair marry their talents and become a musical duo. Will their
musical relationship develop into something more?
An episode from the first season of the action thriller series
starring Steven Seagal. The activities of a new serial killer bring
a chill to the city. Apparently drawing on techniques and ideas
associated with the occult, the killer gruesomely dispatches their
unfortunate victims. Kane is assigned the task of catching the
murderer and begins his investigations in his usual unflinching
manner. It may well be, however, that catching a killer so immersed
in the dark arts and magic will require Kane to venture
uncomfortably close to these practices himself. Will his dual love
for justice and vengeance pull him through?

In endocrine pathology, surgical pathologists often concentrate on
neoplasms at the expense of nonneoplastic disease processes. This
is unfortunate as nonneoplastic endocrine disorders are many times
more common in the population. As in all fields of medicine,
nonneoplastic endocrine diseases can closely mimic the neoplastic;
an awareness of all aspects of pathology underpins routine clinical
practice. This Fifth Series Fascicle offers pathologists and
clinicians an opportunity to develop an increased understanding of
nontumor endocrine pathology in order to inform patient care.

This revised second edition of Comparative Tort Law offers an
updated and enriched framework for analysing and understanding the
current state of tort law around the world. Using a critical
comparative methodology, it examines common issues such as
causation, economic and non-economic damages, product and
professional liability, and the relationship between tort law and
crime, insurance and public welfare schemes. Featuring
contributions from international experts, this book also provides a
comprehensive comparative assessment of tort law cultures,
contextualising them within the legal systems and societies that
sustain them. Chapters cover many jurisdictions often overlooked in
the mainstream literature, and explore illuminating case studies
from tort systems in Europe, the US, Latin America, Asia and
sub-Saharan Africa, including new chapters specifically discussing
tort law in Brazil, India and Russia. Comparative Tort Law is a
critical tool for students, scholars and academic researchers,
especially those specialising in tort and comparative law. It will
also be useful to policymakers, practitioners and judges, in
particular those dealing with differing tort law systems.

(Terrence Howard). Boarden goes on to become MacArthur's manager on
the bare knuckle brawling circuit.
Seventeen-year old Dennis O'Neill was a precocious talent. Widnes
coach Joe Egan put him straight into the first team after he had
signed as a professional in the summer of 1966. Not only Egan, but
other Rugby League pundits of the day regarded him as "the best
teenage prospect since Alex Murphy" In only his second season at
the age of 19, he was selected for the Lancashire side to play
Yorkshire in January 1968.The game was appropriately played at
Naughton Park, Widnes. O'Neill's sensational match winning try was
described nearly four decades later as "The Greatest Try" by a
local journalist. The description inspired the title of Anthony J.
Quinn's book. Not only with a brisk season by season narrative, but
with numerous references to contemporary press reports, the book
vividly portrays Dennis O'Neill's thrilling performances for Widnes
in the late 1960s and early 1970s. It also highlights his constant
injury problems and gives the reader an insight into events at
Widnes RLFC during that period in its history and is interspersed
with pictures and press cuttings. In addition, the author refers to
several letters and articles that were published in the local
press, commenting on the poor state of British Rugby League in
O'Neill's prime playing days.

Weaving together a diverse range of scholarly-activist
intersectional voices from around the world, Critical Animal
Studies and Activism: International Perspectives on Total
Liberation and Intersectionality co-edited by Anthony J. Nocella II
and Richard J. White makes a powerful contribution to knowledge and
understanding. It is essential reading for environmentalists,
animal advocates, social justice organizers, policy-makers, social
change-makers, and indeed for all those who care about the future
of this planet. This book spans many scholar disciplines and
activist social movements, and provides new insights to fundamental
debates surrounding inter-species justice, liberation, and
democracy. This critical theory for total liberation book expands
the understanding of one struggle one fight: for human freedom, for
animal rights, and for the liberation of the earth herself. Rooted
in a radical praxis, the book argues that those in academia that
claim critical animal studies, need to hit the streets with the
protesters and the protesters need to join the theoretical
conversations. Theory and practice and not binaries, but two pieces
of a larger goal. Read this book and use its arguments to take the
fight to smash capitalism, oppression, and domination in all its
forms!
Triple bill of World War Two dramas. 'Everyman's War' (2009) is an
American drama based on the personal wartime experiences of
director Thad Smith's father. Don Smith (Cole Carson), a young
sergeant in the 94th Infantry Division, finds himself unarmed and
wounded on the frontline of the Battle of the Bulge, the largest
and bloodiest battle involving American forces in the entire war.
As the Allies advance through the snow-packed, densely-forested
mountains of Ardennes, Don's sweetheart Dorine (Lauren Bair) waits
at home in Oregon, desperate for news. 'Anonyma: The Downfall of
Berlin' (2008) is a German drama set in Berlin in the final days of
the war. The events of the film are based on the real diary of an
anonymous woman who lived through the liberation of Berlin by
Soviet troops in 1945, suffering shockingly brutal treatment by the
city's captors. Living in the basement of her bombed-out apartment
building with a handful of similarly destitute neighbours, the
woman - known only as 'Anonyma' (Nina Foss) - endures repeated rape
by Russian soldiers, and tries to wrestle a modicum of control over
her destiny by using sex as a tool for survival, forging an uneasy
sexual alliance with Russian leader Major Andrei Rybkin (Yevgeni
Sidikhin). Brad Haynes directs the Australian drama 'Broken Sun'
(2008). In 1944, a group of Japanese soldiers held in a P.O.W. camp
deep in the Australian outback make an escape attempt. One young
soldier, Masaru (Shingo Usami), ends up hiding in the remote
hilltop farm of reclusive farmer Jack (Jai Koutrae), a World War
One veteran who never recovered from the traumas he experienced as
a soldier. Despite their differences and mutual suspicions, it soon
becomes evident that the two men share the understanding that war
is not simply a question of good versus evil but a complex set of
rules by which each of them is duty-bound to abide.
