MedPage Today (04.22.13)
Before the use of today's antiretroviral therapy (ART), children with HIV infection were more likely to have abnormalities in the left ventricular structure and function that increased their risk of death. Highly Active Antiretroviral therapy (HAART) appears to preserve cardiac function, but the interactions between HIV, ART, and cardiac function is unclear. Steven Lipshultz, MD of the University of Miami and colleagues investigated the effect of long-term HAART on cardiac function. The researchers compared three cohorts—two from the Adolescent Master Protocol of the Pediatrics HIV/AIDS Cohort Study (PHACS) and one from the Pulmonary and Cardiovascular Complications of Vertically Transmitted HIV Infection Study.
The PHACS study was conducted at 14 pediatric HIV clinics in the United States from March 2007 to November 2009 with children aged 7 to 16 years. The researchers reviewed data from 325 children in the PHACS study with perinatal HIV infection who were receiving HAART, which means treatment with at least three ART drugs from at least two ART drug classes and 189 children who were exposed to HIV, but were not infected. Also, researchers reviewed data from the Pulmonary and Cardiovascular Complications (PCHIV) study, which was conducted from 1990 to 1997. They examined data from 70 children from the PCHIV study who were infected with HIV, but were not treated with HAART. All children received echocardiograms.
Compared with HIV-infected youth treated when HAART was not widely used, those mostly treated with HAART had significantly better echocardiographic measures of heart structure and function. Some of the patients from the earlier cohort (PCHIV study), but none of the newer cohort (PHACS study) developed clinical heart disease. The authors concluded that findings suggest an overall cardio protective effect of long-term HAART, but the reasons for this effect are not clear.
The full report, "Cardiac Status of Children Infected With Human Immunodeficiency Virus Who Are Receiving Long-term Combination Antiretroviral Therapy: Results From the Adolescent Master Protocol of the Multicenter Pediatric HIV/AIDS Cohort Study," was published online in the journal JAMA Pediatrics (doi:10.1001/jamapediatrics.2013.1206).

General Information
The Department of Biostatistics at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) is one of five departments in the School of Public Health: Biostatistics, Environmental Health Science, Epidemiology, Health Behavior, and Health Care Organization and Policy.
Dr. Naomi Fineberg is the Chair of the department, Dr. Leslie McClure is the Director of Graduate Studies, and Della Daniel is the department liaison to the graduate program. The department currently has 24 faculty members, 56 full-time staff, and is organized into two sections: 1) The Section on Statistical Genetics (SSG), led by Dr. Hemant Tiwari and 2) The Section on Research Methods and Clinical Trials (RMCT), led by Dr. Gary Cutter. Members of the department conduct research in statistical methodology and applications, as well as in fundamental problems of modeling in biological systems. Much of the department's research is collaborative in nature involving projects from basic science, genetics, clinical medicine, public health, and other health-related areas, both within and outside of UAB. Grant support for faculty in the department fall into four broad areas: 1) applied grants involving the application of statistical methods to health-related issues, 2) statistical coordinating centers for large multi-center randomized clinical trials, 3) methodological grants advancing statistical techniques, and 4) training grants for preparing the next generation of statisticians.
The Department offers programs leading to the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), Master of Science (MS), Master of Public Health (MPH), Master of Science in Public Health (MSPH), and a Certificate in Statistical Genetics (CSG). The MS and PhD degrees are offered through the Graduate School. The MPH and MSPH degrees are offered through the School of Public Health.
The MPH Program
The MPH degree in biostatistics is intended primarily for those who wish to acquire an MPH degree with an emphasis on statistical methodology. This can include individuals from decision-making positions in health care settings as well as those interested in data management, statistical analyses and interpretation, and presentation of analytical results. This degree can be completed in approximately 2 years. Note that the MPH does not require some of the theoretical courses required for the MS, and as such, it is not a direct route to prepare a student for a PhD. Students anticipating that they will wish to continue for a PhD in biostatistics are advised to pursue the MS rather than the MPH.
All international students must demonstrate proficiency in spoken and written English before graduation, through the Graduate School's ESL Assessment. Dependent on the results of that assessment, the GPC may require additional course work in both written and/or oral English for students not showing proficiency upon arrival, or during any period of their graduate studies.

The MPH Non Coursework Requirements: The Internship
Registering for Internship Experience
Before the hold on the internship course can be lifted, we require that the internship description and agreement form is completed and on file. This form is to be completed in the online internship database Intern Track. You can log in to this program with your BlazerID and password at www.soph.uab.edu/interntrack. Your faculty advisor and site supervisor will also be required to sign off on this document, so it is important that you communicate with them as you complete the form, and do not wait until the deadline to register. A hyperlink allowing you to formally request the hold to be lifted will become active once all the signatures are on file.
You should register under your academic advisor for BST 697 – Internship in Biostatistics. For three credit hours, you are expected to spend a minimum of 240 hours during the 12 weeks working for the agency. The internship must be completed in one semester, and all hours must be completed by the last day of exams. You are required to complete your core course work before registering for internship hours. Credit cannot be applied retroactively to work you have done prior to registering for the internship. Students should feel free to contact the Graduate Program Director (Dr. McClure) or Internship Coordinator (Emily Tubergen) if they have any questions or problems during the summer.
Grading and Requirements
The internship is a pass/fail course. Your grade will be assigned by your faculty advisor based on the completion of all the components below. All forms related to the MPH internship will be completed in the InternTrack program.
- Internship Description and Agreement Form
- Midpoint Meeting Form, and confirmed meetings with the faculty advisor and site supervisor
- Final student evaluation
- Final student paper
- Completion of poster and attendance at the internship poster session
- Evaluations (Midpoint and Final) from the site supervisor
- Any additional product required by your internship site
Midpoint meeting: You will be required to complete a midpoint form halfway through your internship. This is to prompt your reflection on the internship to that point, and steps to make the remainder of the internship a success. You will set up times to individually meet with your faculty advisor and site supervisor; use the midpoint form as a guide for your conversation. If you are not able to meet in person, discussions via telephone, email, or Skype will be accepted. Your faculty advisor and site supervisor will need to confirm the meeting took place in the Intern Track system.
Internship Poster Session: At the end of the internship, prior to the end of exams for that semester, a poster session will be held to showcase the internships completed during that semester. You will receive additional instructions on creating your poster prior to the event. Attendance is mandatory, as it is a required component to the internship experience. Limited exceptions will be made for students completed internships out of the state or country or that are completing the MPH program online.
For complete internship requirements please check out the syllabus on the UAB School of Public Health website: https://www.soph.uab.edu/files/internship/InternshipSyllabus2011.pdf.
The MSPH Program
There is a growing interest in medical and other health science schools in developing the clinical research skills of faculty members and fellows. This interest has been fueled by increased support from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to prepare such individuals to meet the demand for clinical investigators in the field. Locally, the Schools of Medicine and Public Health have combined efforts to create a training program for young faculty members and fellows from a variety of disciplines.
This program is a post-medical or other health science degree training program, aimed primarily at fellows and faculty members interested in developing skills required for clinical research. It is anticipated that this academic training will supplement extensive training in the content area in which the student is trained, and senior mentoring in the politics and policies of project development and management. A graduate of this program will have the academic training to develop and lead independent research programs and projects. The program consists of a core set of courses common to all students, plus research elective and focus elective courses that reflect the academic interest of the student. At this time, the program can accommodate students with specific interest in biostatistics (CTBS), epidemiology (CTE), and health behavior (CTSH). As a result, there will be some variation in the specific knowledge and skills acquired by each graduate. However, the primary learning objectives will apply to all students, irrespective of departmental affiliation. As such, graduates will be able to do the following upon completion of the program:
- design, conduct and evaluate clinical research studies;
- understand issues of data collection and study management;
- follow appropriate policies and procedures relating to the utilization of human subjects in clinical research;
- demonstrate an understanding of the ethics of research on human subjects;
- prepare competitive applications for extramural research funding;
- prepare manuscripts for publication in the scientific literature; and
- critically evaluate published research.
Required Courses: MSPH in Biostatistics
The MSPH in Clinical and Translational Science consists of a minimum of 41 credit hours. Of these, 14 hours are required, including 9 hours of specific Biostatistics courses and 5 hours of specific Epidemiology courses. Students then select at least 9 credit hours from a list of approved Masters Research Electives, complete 9 hours of focus specific electives in Biostatistics, and take at least 9 hours of directed (698 level) Masters research to fulfill the MSPH requirement for conducting a research project.
All international students must demonstrate proficiency in spoken and written English before graduation, through the Graduate School's ESL Assessment. Dependent on the results of that assessment, the GPC may require additional course work in both written and/or oral English for students not showing proficiency upon arrival, or during any period of their graduate studies.

[1] EPI 680 is a two credit hour class in which students attend and participate in lectures provided through the K30 Clinical Studies program at the School of Medicine. The grading is on a Pass/No Pass basis. To earn a grade of Pass, students must attend a minimum of 80% of the lectures over two semesters and participate in all discussion for which they are present.
[2] Care must be exercised when selecting these courses since some have prerequisites that must be taken earlier in the sequence of classes or taken concurrently.
Biostatistics Electives: Minimum 9 credit hours of regular BST courses of 623 or higher-level. With approval of the advisor, courses included in the research electives that are not taken to meet that requirement may be taken as part of the focus specific electives.
Masters Project Research: Minimum 9 credit hours of supervised research in clinical setting (BST 698).
The MSPH Research Project
The student, with the advice of his/her chosen MSPH project co-directors forms a small committee to guide the research project. The committee co-chairs should consist of a faculty member from Biostatistics and an MD with experience in the area of clinical research. Upon successful completion of the project, the student must submit a final write-up of the research.
The MS Program
The MS degree in Biostatistics is intended primarily for those who wish to acquire a master's degree with an emphasis in statistical methodology. Generally, students who anticipate a career performing data management and statistical analysis would enroll in the MS program. Further, the MS program is the appropriate program to prepare students to enter the PhD. Successful completion of this degree requires a GPA of 3.0 or better, passing the comprehensive examination at the MS level, completion of a master's project under the direction of an advisor with committee approval, and oral and written defense of this project.
All international students must demonstrate proficiency in spoken and written English before graduation, through the Graduate School's ESL Assessment. Dependent on the results of that assessment, the GPC may require additional course work in both written and/or oral English for students not showing proficiency upon arrival, or during any period of their graduate studies.

Outside Requirement:
EPI 610 Principles of Epidemiological Research
4 Credit Hours
Outside Electives:
A minimum of 3 additional graduate credit hours of electives must be taken from a non-quantitative field (i.e. Biology, Public Health or Medicine). The academic advisor must approve these courses.
Upon completion of the first year-and-a-half of course work, the candidate is given a written examination consisting of two parts - Applied Statistics and Theory of Statistics. The exam will test the students on their understanding and comprehension of the foundation of the theory and applications of statistics, and will generally cover materials from BST 621, 622, 623, 626, 631, 632 and 655. This will be a standard departmental exam, administered by the Graduate Program Committee (GPC). The criteria for evaluation are the candidate's understanding and competency in basic principles and foundations of biostatistics, understanding of the appropriate use and interpretation of statistical methods, and ability to succinctly express in writing the results of the problems. This examination is offered during the first half of January. At first attempt, a student must take both parts at the same time. For those years during which at least one student needs to take the exam a second time, the exam may be offered in July at the discretion of the GPC. Students must be registered for at least 3 semester hours of graduate work during the semester in which the comprehensive examination is given.
The student must pass each part of the exam at the Masters level. If a student fails either part of the exam, one additional chance will be given to retake the part of the exam that was failed. A student who fails the qualifying exam more than once will be dismissed from the MS program. The student has the opportunity to appeal the decision of his/her dismissal. The Graduate School policies on dismissal from the program and appeal of dismissal are described in detail in the UAB Student Handbook.
The MS Project
Immediately after passing the MS Comprehensive examination, the student must form a research project committee consisting of at least 3 members, chaired by the research advisor. Upon successful completion of the project, the student must submit a final write-up of the research and present their work orally in a departmental seminar. It is strongly suggested that the write-up is such that it may lead to an article submitted for publication in the subject matter area. The date and time of the oral presentation will be advertised in the Ryals Building.
The PhD Program
The PhD degree in biostatistics provides a balance between theory and application. In addition to providing students with an in-depth understanding of statistical theory and methodology, the main objectives of the program are to train students to become independent researchers, effective statistical consultants and collaborators in scientific research, and effective teachers.
All international students must demonstrate proficiency in spoken and written English before graduation, through the Graduate School's ESL Assessment. Dependent on the results of that assessment, the GPC may require additional course work in both written and/or oral English for students not showing proficiency upon arrival, or during any period of their graduate studies.
Required Courses: PhD in Biostatistics
All students entering the PhD program are required to complete the coursework required for the MS degree. It is possible for a student entering the graduate program with an MS degree in statistics or biostatistics from another institution to waive up to 12 credit hours of coursework at the discretion of the GPC. It will be the student's option whether to actually obtain the MS degree, but the department strongly encourages them to do so, since the completion of the MS project is very good research experience and may lead to a publication.

A minimum of 3 additional graduate credit hours of electives must be taken from a non-quantitative field (i.e. Biology, Public Health or Medicine).
Readings & Research:
Students are strongly recommended to take Research in Statistics (BST 698) under various faculty members every semester after completion of the first-year equivalent of course work, until a research advisor is chosen.
PhD Qualifying Exam
Upon completion of the first year-and-a-half of course work, the candidate is given a written examination consisting of two parts - Applied Statistics and Theory of Statistics. The exam will test the students on their understanding and comprehension of the foundation of the theory and applications of statistics, and will generally cover materials from BST 621, 622, 623, 626, 631, 632 and 655. This will be a standard departmental exam, administered by the GPC. The criteria for evaluation are the candidate's understanding and competency in basic principles and foundations of biostatistics, potential for conducting independent research in statistical methods, and ability to express in writing the results of the problems. This examination is offered during the first half of January. At first attempt, a student must take both parts at the same time. For those years during which at least one student needs to take the exam a second time, the exam may be offered in July at the discretion of the GPC. Students must be registered for at least 3 semester hours of graduate work during the semester in which the comprehensive examination is given.
The student may pass each part of the exam at the PhD level, fail at the PhD level but pass at the Master's level, or fail at the Masters level. If a student fails to pass either part of the exam at the PhD level, one additional chance will be given to retake the part of the exam that was failed. A student who fails the qualifying examination more than once will be dismissed from the PhD program. The student has the opportunity to appeal the decision of his/her dismissal. Graduate School policies on dismissal from the program and appeal of dismissal are described in detail in the UAB Student Handbook.
PhD Dissertation Research
After forming a graduate committee, the student should present and prepare a written proposal to their committee for suggestions/approval. The whole committee must approve the proposal, not just the advisor. This is to ensure that the work is novel, feasible, and significant. The word "novel" here is important. A dissertation must add to the body of knowledge in biostatistics, meaning that a careful review of the existing literature on the chosen subject is necessary. It would be very unfortunate to get to the last stages of your work and to have someone suddenly point out to you that it had already been done! During the early stages of the research, it may be useful for the student to register for readings courses (BST 798) under the direction of the research advisor. The purpose of such courses is to review the literature for the research area of interest in order to help the student formulate a research problem.
After a literature survey and a clearer definition of the scope of the proposed research under the direction of the advisor, the student must submit a written proposal and present it orally to the dissertation committee. The dissertation proposal is closed to the general public and should be attended only by the dissertation committee. The committee may approve unconditionally, approve conditionally, or disapprove the proposal. The oral presentation also represents the oral doctoral candidacy exam. As such, a student is expected to demonstrate a good understanding of materials relevant to the general field in which the dissertation is written. The format of the questions for the proposal is left to the discretion of the committee. The outline and the organization of the proposal must follow the graduate school requirements described in the UAB Graduate Student Handbook. The Dissertation Committee and the Graduate Program Director will recommend the student to the Graduate School Dean for admission to candidacy. The committee meeting at which candidacy is discussed must be scheduled through the Graduate School to allow the Dean to attend. If the proposal is not approved, the student may be given only one other opportunity to re-present the proposal and it must be done within six months of the first attempt. You must be registered for at least 3 hours in the semester in which you present your project proposal to your committee.
Once the student has (1) passed the qualifying exam at the doctoral level, (2) written a formal dissertation proposal, and (3) had the dissertation proposal approved by the dissertation committee as an acceptable proposal for research, the committee will recommend to the Dean of the Graduate School that the student be admitted to candidacy. This requires that the student file an "Admission to Candidacy" form with the Graduate School. A student must be in good academic standing to be admitted to candidacy. Admission to candidacy must take place at least two semesters before the expected completion of the doctoral program. Students must be admitted to candidacy before they can register for dissertation research hours (BST 799).
PhD Final Exam
After the student has completed all formal requirements for the PhD degree, the dissertation committee administers the final oral examination. The final examination should take the form of a presentation and defense of the dissertation, followed by an examination of the candidate's comprehensive knowledge of the field. This examination must be scheduled through the Graduate School to allow attendance of the Dean. The defense must be announced at least 2 weeks in advance. It is the responsibility of the student to schedule the defense at a time convenient to all parties involved. A preliminary copy of the dissertation must be submitted to the dissertation committee for approval at least two weeks prior to the defense, unless otherwise approved in advance by the dissertation committee. The meeting must be open to all interested parties, publicized on the UAB campus, published in the UAB Reporter, and must take place at least 30 days before the expected date of graduation. Candidates must be registered for at least 3 semester hours of Dissertation Research (BST 799) during the semester in which the final examination is taken.
The dissertation committee will evaluate the student's performance in the final exam. In order for the student to pass, all of the committee or all but one member of the committee must pass the student in the final exam. Upon approval by the committee and the Graduate Program Director, the result of the final exam should be forwarded to the Graduate School Dean for approval. Final copies of the dissertation after final approval of the committee, including any changes required by the committee, must be submitted to the Dean within two weeks following successful completion of the defense. Please see the Graduate Student Handbook for various deadlines and further details. Upon satisfying all requirements, the dissertation committee and the Graduate Program Director will recommend the student to the Graduate School Dean for the doctoral degree.
Students in the Graduate program are admitted in the Fall semester of each academic year. Applicants for the MS and PhD programs are expected to have a strong foundation in Mathematics. At the very minimum, they should have had a 3-semester sequence of calculus or equivalent and a semester of advanced matrix algebra. With few exceptions, applicants to the PhD must have a relevant MS degree. The MPH applicants should also be quantitatively oriented with background in calculus and linear algebra.
Application requirements include completion of the online application form, a non-refundable application fee, official transcripts from all undergraduate coursework and all prior graduate coursework, (International transcripts must be submitted to World Education Services (WES) or Educational Credential Evaluators (ECE) for an official course-by-course credential evaluation; document-by-document evaluations will not suffice), three letters of recommendation (submitted online), a statement of purpose, and Graduate Record Examination (GRE) scores. International applicants for whom English is not their first language are also required to submit TOEFL scores. Please note that the department has an ongoing admissions process that begins in February. Thus, it is recommended that prospective students submit completed applications as early as possible (specifically if financial support is desired).
Minimum admission requirements include: a bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university, a score of 156 (146 for MPH) on the verbal and 146 on the quantitative sections of the newly revised GRE exam. GRE exams taken prior to August 1, 2011, a minimum score of 1100 on the combined verbal and quantitative sections, with a verbal score of at least 550 (400 for MPH) and a quantitative score of at least 550, a score of 3.5 on the analytic section of the GRE test, and an undergraduate grade point average of 3.0 or better (on a 4.0 scale). The department also requires a TOEFL score of at least 250 (600 on the old scale) for all international students whose native language is not English.
Financial Support
Unfortunately, the department is not able to guarantee funding for all students. However, there are many on-campus part-time employment opportunities with ongoing research projects across campus that are available to qualified students with experience in statistical analysis. Within reason, the department will work with all students in order to assist them with finding a funding source for their studies.
Fellowships, Traineeships, and/or Assistantships are awarded to well-qualified students. The financial support of a fellowship or traineeship typically consists of (i) an annual stipend of $22,032 paid over 12 months, and (ii) tuition, fees, and health insurance paid by the department directly to your student account. The financial support of an assistantship typically consists of (i) an annual stipend of $21,000 paid over 12 months, and (ii) $7,000 additional funds to assist with tuition and etc. (paid as additional salary to the student in two installments in August and January, $3,500 each month). The financial support is intended to help full-time students in the graduate program. Accordingly, (i) students must register as a full-time student in approved graduate courses each semester (9 hours fall, 9 hours spring, 3 hours summer) and (ii) students may not engage in any other renumerated activities either on or off campus (exceptions to this rule are rare and require prior approval in writing). In order to continue receiving financial support students must remain in good standing, continue making satisfactory progress towards their degree, and perform their work in a satisfactory manner. Should the faculty responsible for the funding source determine that a student fails to meet any of these criteria, he/she forfeits the award.
A research assistantship requires the student to devote approximately 20 hours per week average effort on research/teaching projects under the supervision of a faculty mentor. Students must be enrolled full-time in order to maintain a research assistantship. This requires the student to take at least 9 credit hours of coursework during the regular semesters and at least 3 credit hours of coursework during the summer. Assistantship appointments are typically for one year at a time.
A student fellowship does not require any work effort, but requires the student to register for a greater number of credit hours each semester. A student on Fellowship is required to take 9 credit hours of coursework during the regular semesters and 6 credit hours during the summer semester.
The department currently has one NIH-funded T32 doctoral training grant. This appointment carries special distinction, is an honor to have, offers certain privileges, and also confer certain obligations. Trainees are required to pursue their research training on a full-time basis, devoting at least 40 hours per week to the program. This minimum of 40 hours includes both classroom studies and their research. All new trainees will receive: 1) "On Being a Scientist" published by the National Academy of Sciences, and 2) a selected list of references on ethical conduct of research. Trainees are expected to review these materials. All trainees must complete and maintain IRB training/certification, complete and maintain IACUC training/certification (if they work with animal studies), complete the Principles of Scientific Integrity course (GRD 717), and complete university diversity training. Trainees are expected to attend all departmental seminars, journal clubs, and grant writing clubs, except when those activities interfere with classes. Trainees are also expected to attend and ideally present their work at one conference each year. Funds are available for this. Additional funds are usually available to allow trainees to attend at least one continuing education workshop outside of UAB each year. The department holds all T32 students to a very high standard. The purpose of the T32 training grants is to train future independent scientists, that is, individuals that can direct their own research programs. Trainees are expected to work actively with a faculty mentor on research projects, with the expectation of co-authoring publications. All trainees must meet with the T32 program directors twice annually (and additionally as requested) in order to review progress.

Ever wonder how advertising agencies select the music that accompanies TV commercials? We do, too.
For instance, what led the creators of Fiat's new ad campaign to select a 41-year-old glam rock song? T. Rex's "Children of the Revolution" was a hit in 1972. It's hardly a regular on modern classic rock radio. And, oddly enough, the complete version of the song references a different brand of automobile - Rolls Royce. Regardless, the ad works on some level. (Granted, Geico got their first with the Paul Revere shtick.)
Below is the T. Rex original and a 1986 cover by the Violent Femmes.

Post subject: Far's X-Wing Pilot
So, I decided to start a thread with my progress. Here's what I have so far.
*Black helmet from darthhair
*Chestbox and hoses from darthhair
*Metal pieces from elvistrooper
*Jack boots
*Gloves (not pictured)
I've contacted moncal about flightsuits, and am waiting for funding.
I've also contacted several people about the "soft parts" but haven't heard back.

Well... What I am going to do immediately to get it submitted is build it and put on some of the stickers from darthhair. Long term... nice coat of paint with some custom decals in either silver or gold from my aunt and uncle who own a sign shop and can do custom stuff. They made me a 28" Jedi crest for the back of my car. Still haven't put it on yet, hah...

SOURCE Walt Disney World Resort
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla., Feb. 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The victory atmosphere moved south from New Jersey to Walt Disney World Resort Monday where Seattle Seahawks linebacker Malcolm Smith celebrated his team's stunning Super Bowl XLVIII championship win as thousands of fans lined Main Street, U.S.A.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140203/FL58079)
Just hours after his title win against the Denver Broncos, Smith was riding high atop a convertible smiling and waving to guests at Walt Disney World Resort.
Flashing lights, a whirlwind of fluttering confetti, balloons and Mickey Mouse himself accompanied the Super Bowl MVP down the famous street at the Magic Kingdom. It was a remarkable dream come true for Smith, who went from being the last player the Seahawks drafted in 2011 (No. 242 overall) to the hero of the Super Bowl.
In the frenzied moments following his team capturing the National Football League championship Sunday night in New Jersey, Smith stood in front of a TV camera and shouted five words that have become an almost iconic reaction to milestone achievement: "I'm going to Disney World!"
The commercial aired Monday morning and is the 47th of a series that began in 1987 following Super Bowl XXI featuring New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms. The campaign pays tribute to personal achievements of athletes and celebrities and continues to be an iconic celebration as only Disney can do.
Smith set another mark Sunday night. He became the first defensive player to star in the Disney commercial.
This year's commercial marks a "Frozen" first. Idina Menzel, who voiced Elsa in Disney's Academy Award®-nominated animated feature film "Frozen," sings the traditional "When You Wish Upon a Star" to accompany the iconic ad. Menzel, who performs the Academy Award®-nominated hit song "Let It Go" in the film and the all-new hit "Frozen" soundtrack, becomes the first contemporary artist to perform "When You Wish Upon a Star" in the Disney Parks Super Bowl ad. She recorded the vocal track in New York City on Jan. 26, 2014 and it was paired with the orchestral track recorded the previous week at London's famed Abbey Road Studios.
Smith joins an all-star lineup of heroes from sports and beyond who have celebrated milestone accomplishments in "I'm going to Disney World" commercials.

Throughout his soccer career, Pieter Lehrer has done nothing but win.
For Friedman, a Dynamic Career with One Constant
In Ross Friedman's 15 years of playing soccer, the jerseys, the coaches, the lineups, and the stadiums have all changed, but one thing has remained the same—his father's relentless support.

It was the team's first win all year by two or more goals and broke a six-game streak of games decided by one goal.
Men's Soccer Outlasts Holy Cross, 1-0
With both teams preparing to vie for their respective league championships, the Harvard and Holy Cross men's soccer teams took a break from their conference schedules to do battle Wednesday night.

The Harvard men's soccer team has now won four of its last six contests.
Men's Soccer Picks Up Fourth Ivy Victory over Dartmouth
