The Clear Writing Program covers a range of nonfiction writing, from academic exposition to journalism and creative nonfiction. In any genre, clear writing engenders and reflects clear thinking; it is thus a skill essential to obtaining a Marlboro education.
The College requires all incoming students to demonstrate writing skill sufficient to successful progress through courses and tutorials toward the Plan of Concentration. Students meet this requirement by presenting a 20-page portfolio of clear, concise, grammatical expository writing to the faculty within two semesters of matriculation (with exceptions as noted in The Handbook).
Meeting the Clear Writing Requirement is only a first step towards achieving the level of writing that is required for a Plan of Concentration. Students who have met the Writing Requirement are expected to take at least one course each semester that requires substantial writing --see Designated Writing Courses below --in preparation for work on Plan. Courses are offered every year, which can help students develop skills at all levels. (If you have questions about the Clear Writing Portfolio or the Writing Requirement generally, please ask any of the writing instructors: Gloria Biamonte, John Sheehy or Kyhl Lyndgaard.)
Introductory sessions for the writing seminars will take place on the morning of Wednesday, January 22. Feel free to attend as many as you can. The writing teachers are John Sheehy, Dalrymple 25; Gloria Biamonte, Dalrymple 24; and Kyhl Lyndgaard, Science 111. Please be sure to come to the intro course if you're really interested in the class.

Great light weight shoe but very supportive and feet last all day in them.
That is great you are able to wear these all day lone with total comfort! Thank you for this great review!
Sized as Expected
Casual wear with anything
I have been looking for a pair of comfy, cute shoes to run around in at work and on the weekends. These are perfect! I think they run slightly small because I am barely a size 5 and these fit perfectly. I'm going to purchase another pair in cinnamon.
Thanks for this helpful review! We truly appreciate all of your support.
Smaller than Expected
Work and Weekends
These are comfortable shoes for work. Perhaps they have a little too much rubber in the front and back to be stylish, but I like the fit.
Wonderful! Comfort is key when you are working all day.
Sized as Expected
These are the perfect shoe for running errands and what not. They are cute, comfortable, and durable. I recently wore them on a trip to Disneyworld and they had great support for being on my feet all day! I am glad I purchased these.
Awesome! That is fantastic they got to accompany you on your trip and never held you back when trying to keep up with everyone and seeing everything. Thank you for walking all around town in them!
Sized as Expected

Car keys: In need of cheap copies
In my haste to get the family back in the house after a long evening, I misplaced my keys.
I was sure they would reappear shortly, but it's been a month now. Fortunately we had an extra set.
I have been stunned at how expensive it is to replace these keys. $180 at Delray Honda! I bought a key online for $4 that promised to match my car, but when I brought it to Honda, I was told it wouldn't work.
So I am hunting for a way to copy complicated car keys at a moderate price. Let me know if you have found a way to avoid these high fees.

New Fantasyland celebrates grand opening
From left, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Tom Staggs, Ginnifer Goodwin (Snow White, ABC's "Once Upon a Time"), pop star Jordin Sparks and Mickey Mouse cut the ribbon to officially open New Fantasyland at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.
Walt Disney World celebrated its grand opening of the Magic Kingdom's New Fantasyland on Dec. 6 with flair, fireworks, fun and, of course, a huge dose of Disney magic. Guests can finally enjoy all the new attractions and dining they've been anxiously waiting for as part of the largest expansion in the Magic Kingdom's history.
Ginnifer Goodwin, who plays Snow White on ABC's "Once Upon a Time," Jordin Sparks, Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Chairman Tom Staggs and Mickey Mouse officially cut the ribbon in front of Gaston's Tavern, which serves up a roasted pork shank, sides of veggies, cinnamon rolls and LeFou's Brew, a signature frozen apple juice beverage with toasted marshmallow and topped with a passion fruit/mango foam.
"Walt Disney once promised that Disneyland, and by extension all of our parks, would never be complete as long as there is imagination left in the world," Staggs said. "New Fantasyland is a spectacular addition to the Magic Kingdom that delivers on Walt's promise. We're thrilled to take guests beyond the walls of Cinderella Castle to discover new worlds featuring iconic Disney characters and stories in ways that are more imaginative, more interactive and more immersive than ever before."
Fantasyland is now double the size and consists of the Enchanted Forest and Storybook Circus.
Jodi Benson, the voice of Ariel in "The Little Mermaid," was present to experience the film come to life in the Under the Sea – Journey of the Little Mermaid ride. Guests go "under the sea" in clamshells and watch the story play out amid colorful characters, scenery from the movie and favorite songs. While riders wait, they can check out Prince Eric's Castle. After the ride, guests can meet Ariel in Ariel's Grotto.
The classic "Beauty and the Beast" film also comes to life in New Fantasyland at the Enchanted Tales With Belle attraction. Guests are able to take part in a live storytelling experience with Lumiere and Belle that includes costumes, props and interactions.
A trip to New Fantasyland wouldn't be complete without stopping for a meal in the Be Our Guest Restaurant. Sit under gorgeous chandeliers and see a magical "snowfall" in the ballroom, or venture into the Rose Gallery and West Wing of the Beast's Castle. French-inspired cuisine is served, as is beer and wine, a first for the Magic Kingdom. Two items you must try are the Grey Stuff (it's delicious) and the Lasseter wine, created by the director of Disney-Pixar's "Cars," John Lasseter, at his family's winery in California. Be Our Guest Restaurant offers quick-serve meals during the day and full-service table dining at night. Don't forget to make a reservation.
Other attractions that opened earlier this year include Dumbo, the Flying Elephant, now with two Dumbos and circus-themed queue activities, and the Barnstormer Featuring the Great Goofini, a family-style roller coaster.
Up next is Princess Fairytale Hall set to open in 2013. This will be the new home for the Disney princesses, who will be available for meet-and-greets and photos with guests in the Castle Courtyard at the center of Fantasyland. We got a sneak peak at the upcoming Seven Dwarfs Mine Train roller coaster, set to open in 2014. This will be a family-style coaster utilizing new technology in which the train cars will swing back and forth as well as take you through a storytelling ride experience.
Splitsville set to open at Downtown Disney Dec. 19
The wait is almost over for the opening of Splitsville Luxury Lanes at Downtown Disney at Walt Disney World Resort. Set to open Dec. 19, Splitsville offers plenty of food, fun and games for both families and adults.
The upscale, two-story retro-style bowling venue is the largest of the brand's locations. The 50,000-foot Splitsville boasts 30 lanes, billiards, live entertainment, a balcony bar and fine dining. Lanes and tables are nontraditionally divided up around the facility, which makes for a more social experience. There is plenty of room for large groups, as well as opportunities for a couple's night out.
"Splitsville is a perfect fit for Downtown Disney," said Keith Bradford, vice president of Downtown Disney. "From a new twist on a beloved sport to an impressive menu you've never expect to find in a bowling facility, Splitsville offers a great experience that complements our other unique offerings at Downtown Disney. I'm sure it will quickly become a guest favorite."
For families and kids, Splitsville's menu offers favorites such as pizza and burgers, and for those with more evolved tastes, there also is a variety of sushi, fish dishes, salads and steaks.
When it comes to bowling, there are accommodations for everyone. There are guides and gutter blockers for kids, plus shoes in all sizes. There are also lane concierges available each night to help maximize the bowling experience for guests. Splitsville will also offer adult-only evenings upstairs, which has several bars and stunning views of Downtown Disney.
The venue will also be available for birthday parties and corporate events.

'Odd Life of Timothy Green' star Odeya Rush: Being different is beautiful
Like her character, Joni Jerome, in Disney's "The Odd Life of Timothy Green," out on DVD and Blu-ray Dec. 4, Odeya Rush is wise, unique and insightful. She was born in Israel and moved to the United States when she was 9 years old. The talented, 15-year-old, up-and-coming star has always known she's wanted to act. Her early days of performing include putting on plays to keep her two sets of younger twin brothers entertained.
In the film, Joni is a complex, somewhat estranged girl, who slowly begins to open up after meeting the strange but loveable Timothy Green, played by CJ Adams, and the two form a special bond. The movie embodies a lot of firsts — first loves, first losses, first-time parenting challenges, first mistakes. Everyone will be able to relate to something in the film that's available just in time for the holidays.
First of all, your name is so beautiful. What were your parents' inspirations when they were choosing your name?
It's an interesting story, actually… I'm Jewish [and] … it's from the [Old Testament].... They thought of many other names, but they couldn't exactly agree. My dad just opened the book and the first sentence he saw, it was in Hebrew… My name, Odeya, means "Thank God." So that's where they found it.
How long have you known you wanted to be an actress?
Ever since I was very young. Ever since I could remember. I've always performed. I've done plays at home. I have four younger brothers; they're actually two sets of twins. They're one year apart. So we had four babies at home at one time. My mom just wanted me to do something with them …. go keep them occupied. So I would sit them on the steps — one set on one step and the other set on the step above — and I would put shows on, you know, do things that I saw from TV shows or whatever my teacher did at school or things that I've come up with myself, so I've always been a performer since a really young age.
Do you go to school?
I go to regular public school. And when I'm on set, I do school on set.
What's your favorite subject?
Math or history.
How did you prepare for your role as Joni? Were there any particular personal experiences you drew from?
I think for the majority of the film, Joni feels estranged from her environment. And when Timothy comes in, he kind of … makes [her life] better because she doesn't like … being different and strange. And there are things about me that kind of set me apart from the rest of the people I hang out with and people I know. So I drew that and installed it into my character, Joni. And just things that have happened in my life or things that I've seen happen to other people — I put that all into my interpretation of who Joni is.
How was having Timothy around comforting for Joni?
Joni [has a] birthmark; [it] is something she was born with, and it's not something you can change about yourself. It's … the way you enter the universe. She wants to hide it. She doesn't like it. She thinks it makes her different and ugly, but Timothy encourages her to expose it and tells her that the thing that sets her apart actually makes her more beautiful. And you have to learn to accept those things about yourself because you cannot change them. And if you don't learn to accept those things, then other people won't accept you for them.
How has meeting Timothy changed Joni?
Throughout the film, Timothy opens Joni up and kind of makes her … sweeter and accepting and welcoming and warm, and I think now she's going down much easier times becoming friends with … people. She's going to be more approachable and nicer … and let people in more. I think that's what Timothy did; he opened her up to the world and showed her that, you know, you don't have to be so cold and mean and guarded.
Why does Timothy's mother, Cindy (Jennifer Garner), think Joni is a bad influence on Timothy?
I think it's a combination of things. Timothy is just entering Cindy's life, and she doesn't want suddenly for her child to be torn away and spending so much time with this other female. I think it's a mixture of jealousy and also … really a lot of protection. … You have to think of it as Timothy is almost her newborn baby because this is the first time she's ever had a child or been a parent, and she's so protective and always thinking, 'I wonder if this could hurt my child. I don't want that to happen. I'd rather him be unhappy for this moment than for him to get hurt later on.' So I think it's a mixture of protection and jealousy. ... Joni was a little strange at first, but Cindy gets to know her… and then appreciates that her son is actually spending time with someone who's so … special.
What was your most memorable moment from filming the movie?
Definitely filming the underwater scene; I thought that was really cool. I learned how to scuba dive. All the hand signals from under water and filming under water is just really insanely cool. And I want to do it again because, you know, it's not something you get to do every day.
How does scuba diving help you film the underwater scene?
When you're filming under water, between takes, I have the oxygen that I breathe from, and they say 'action,' and I give it to the guy who's holding the tank, and then I do my scene really quickly, and then they say 'cut,' and I come back and get more air.
Do you remember how many takes that scene took?
I think from every angle we did about three or four. We took two days to do that scene because we had one day for the outdoor and the diving in and the birthday party, and then we did the whole other day just for under water.
Did you make any lasting friendships on set? Is there anyone you still keep in touch with or maybe hope to work with again?
Yes, many people. I think definitely Peter Hedges, the director; he's very close to not just me but my entire family. His family, we hang out a lot now, so I developed a friendship with Peter and Jennifer [Garner] and Joel [Edgerton] and CJ [Adams] and also a lot of the crew. I have a lot of makeup artist and props and everyone, and we still stay in touch. … I'm very thankful for doing this movie because of the friendships that I formed.
What is your next upcoming acting role?
I'm doing movie called "Mary, Mother of Christ," where I will be playing the title role, Mary. It's with Ben Kingsley and Peter O'Toole, and I'm so psyched about that, and I cannot wait. Then I have another film called "The Locals" … and I'm playing the lead there, too, so those are some big things that are coming up.

Holding Leo's Hand: Watching Little Brother
"How many autistic children do you have?"
"How many autistic children do you have?"
Why had it not occurred to me, before I was asked this question, to even wonder whether Leo's little brother might be facing the same challenge?
Angelo is now 18 months old. He's definitely talking more than Leo did at his age. In fact, there are times when it seems Angelo's brain moves faster than his mouth -- he wants to say things, to communicate things, but doesn't yet know the words or how to articulate them. He strikes us all as, dare we say it, "normal."
According to a recent study, the younger sibling of a child with autism has a little less than a 20 percent chance of developing the disorder. That's a higher number than I want to confront. I see my younger son laughing on a swing, running to hug me or his Mommy, saying "cheers!" whenever Mickey picks a mouse-ka-tool. I see him stacking blocks, seven, eight, nine high (Leo could barely do seven, even when he was older than that). I don't see Angelo lining up his toys, something Leo used to do with regularity.
Is Angelo going to develop PDD or some other form of autism? We do not know. We are not worried. We'll look for the signs. We'll talk to our pediatrician. We won't be afraid.
"How many autistic children do you have?"
As many as we can love.
Chris Pine: 'Rise of the Guardians' is like 'The Avengers' for kids
Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, the Tooth Fairy and the Sandman — we all know who they are, but what we didn't know is that they're part of an elite superhero-like force, the Guardians, who silently watch over and protect us during their off seasons.
At least that's the premise for DreamWords Animation's newest film, "Rise of the Guardians," in theaters Nov. 21. Children's imaginations, dreams and beliefs are at stake in this film, as evil spirit Pitch seeks to take over the world.
South Florida Parenting recently caught up with Chris Pine, who told us about his character in the movie, Jack Frost, whom the Guardians enlist to help defeat the enemy, Pitch. But it's not all fun and games for Jack, who's also seeking to figure out his place and purpose in life.
Can you tell us a little bit about your character?
Well, I play a character named Jack Frost, who is the spirit of mischief and fun, and he's the guy that brings snow days and snowball fights. And he's been asked by the rest of the Guardians of childhood comprised of Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny [and] Sandman, the bringer of dreams. He's been asked to join them in order to fight off this enemy called Pitch, voiced by Jude Law, who is the bringer of nightmares and fear and anxiety. And really the story is about belief and the power of the imagination. And the power of the imagination … conquers all.
Jack Frost is commonly portrayed as sinister and a villain. How is he different in this movie, and what is it about him that the Guardians need to fight the enemy?
It's a hard question because it's kind of central to the story. I mean, Jack in our story is not the villain… He's kind of the spirit of fun… It's like he has a wink in his eye all the time. Jack is asked to come onboard as one of the Guardians, and Jack's been a loner all of his existence, and he's never really felt like he's been part of a group. And he's never really felt like he's belonged, and he doesn't remember where exactly he's from. So Jack's journey in this movie is wrapped up into all those questions of who am I, and what am I about, and what is my purpose? And it's kind of really a central human question. So I think what people attach to, whether you are an adult or a kid, are these real pivotal questions that we all deal with…
People of all ages often are drawn to animated films, but what do you think children in particular will take away from this movie?
Well, I think what's fun about it is that it's all these characters and names we've grown up believing in. … I remember growing up myself that I believed ... Santa Claus, obviously, and the Tooth Fairy and Sandman... And, you know, even Jack Frost I remember from the Christmas carols. So I think what's interesting is to have all these [discrete] characters from … childhood linked up and united as kind of one force and seeing them together. So I think the story is unique, and I think also visually it's a lot different than what kids have seen. There is … a superhero element to this film… This is … "The Avengers" for young kids.
What got you excited about being part of this film and playing your character?
I guess really what excited me about the film was the opportunity to work with all these wonderful actors and film makers. I'm a huge fan of Alec [Baldwin] (North) and Hugh [Jackman] (E. Aster Bunnymund). And I know with [Co-Executive Producer] Guillermo's [del Toro] involvement it sounded like it was going to be a different kind of film. And I loved the idea of all of these characters … we all knew as children and kind of grew up believing in — this idea that they all knew one another. … I thought it was a unique take on a universally shared series of stories. And the idea of linking them together I thought was very interesting.
This is your first time doing an animated movie. How does it compare to doing live action? Do you have a preference?
I don't prefer one to the other. They are definitely different beasts, for sure. The big challenge that I had in animation … is that the only tool you have — the only instrument you have — is your voice. You have to really use and modulate your voice to paint the picture of the character because the rest is … up to the animators. So I learned a great deal watching and listening to Alec [Baldwin], who, as you can tell even from the trailer, has an incredible ability to control and shift and shape his own voice...
When you work on an animated movie, do you mostly do solitary work in the booth?
You know, it's a really odd way to make a film. Film making is such a collaborative experience; usually, when you get on set, … you have all different kinds of film makers, and you have the … prop people and the camera men, the camera operators, the loaders, the costumers, the writers, the directors, the producers… The animated film is a lot more piecemeal. You rarely get a chance to meet everybody until … way far down the line. So most of the work was done in a booth by myself. You're with the director, the producer and the creative team, and I only got one opportunity to work with another actor, which was Alec [Baldwin], which was great.
What is it about your family that made you who you are today? And what was the best advice you learned from your parents?
… I was lucky to have a strong family; [my parents have] been together for over 40 years, and so I was very lucky in that respect. … There is not one particular best piece of advice, but I think a lot of times actions speak louder than words, obviously, and I felt at least growing up a constant belief in me from my parents. So I always felt like no matter what I chose to do or who I ended up becoming, I would be loved regardless. And that implicit support is probably more important than anything.
You seem to have a natural knack for comedy. What's your favorite kind of character to play? Do you like to play funny, romantic, tough, animated?
I think you've kind of hit them all. I think in acting you get a chance to do everything. … I love action, and … I used to pretend that I was a spy when I was a kid. … I love comedy; I like characters that don't take themselves all that seriously and can be made fun of.

"Love Tiny Prints for the selection of cards, quality of cardstock, and quality of the photos on the card. We have been using the company services for our Xmas card for the last few years & haven't been disappointed. Classy products & great customer service. Highly recommend this company to anyone!"
"Loved the look & feel of the matt finish - which also enables you to write personal messages on the back cover. The design is a nice mix of contemporary and traditional. Similarly the mix of a personal family photo and the overlay of Festive wording & images is just right - it still looks like a Christmas Card."
"I used this card with a picture of our house covered with snow from Christmas week 2012 when we had a big snow and the wreaths with red bows were up. I used this card in red and it is absolutely beautiful! The white "Merry Christmas" lettering is bright enough to show up well on top of our snowy yard and the red ribbons on the wreaths are picked up by the red stripe across the bottom of the card. The matte paper gives a very professional and upscale look and feel. I took advantage of the Designer Review Service to ask if the white printing on white snow would show up as well in print as it did online and if the matte paper was the right choice. I got a very personal response within 12 hours with assurances that my choices would work well. Plus, I received my cards almost a week before they were promised. This is my second year ordering Tiny Prints Holiday cards and I'll be back next year! Very professional product and excellent service."
"Everybody loved this card. It has room for lots of photos on all surfaces of the card including the back. The only improvement I will make for our next card is to get a glossy finish."
"We were delighted by our Christmas cards this year. They arrived on time and were on heavy paper stock with quality envelopes. The photos appeared better than I had hoped. Thanks for a terrific job!"

- combined verbal/quantitative GRE score ≥1100
- a strong background in biology, chemistry, and/or mathematics. Undergraduate level courses in immunology, cell biology, biochemistry, physics, genetics, organic and analytical chemistry are strongly encouraged. Undergraduate mathematics through calculus is also recommended.
International students must submit scores from the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) earned within the last two years. Applicants with scores of 600 (paper-based) or 250 (computer-based) or higher will be considered.
All students in the program receive a stipend (currently $26,000), tuition and fees, and single coverage health insurance. Support is provided by the Theme, by the student's mentor, or through one of many fellowship programs.
Overview of the Theme
The Theme emphasizes interdisciplinary training in all areas of modern immunology. The first year of the program involves fundamental coursework and three research-based rotations in laboratories of the student's choosing. A qualifying examination and admission to candidacy take place in the second to third year. Advanced coursework, journals clubs, and dissertation research occur in the second and subsequent years. It is expected that completion of the PhD will require five to six years.
To broaden their training experience, students are introduced to research at the national and international levels through seminars presented by outside speakers and by attendance at national and international scientific meetings. Students take an active role in inviting and hosting speakers at UAB, and they are strongly encouraged to present their own results at outside meetings.

Theme Specific Courses
Introductory Immunology. Introductory Immunology is a team-taught survey course that covers basic concepts of innate and adaptive immunity. These integrated series of lectures provide a firm foundation in immunology, especially for those with minimal immunology background, and serve as an important refresher for the developing immunologist. Students actively participate in the course through weekly presentations of selected immunology topics based on the current literature.
Lymphocyte Biology. The objective of this class is to provide first year immunology students with the opportunity to gain a more in-depth understanding of selected aspects of lymphocyte biology. Possible topics include T cell subsets, B cell biology, lymphocyte activation, and transplantation immunology. The course is literature intense and students are required to read and present numerous scientific papers.
Dendritic Cell Biology. Understanding the biology and function of the immune system's professional antigen presenting cells, the dendritic cells, is a fast moving challenge. The course will cover the seminal papers in the field that have laid the groundwork for our current understanding of this group of complex cells. The major component of the class will emphasize student presentations of assigned reviews and journal articles. Presentations will include an overview (provided by the review article) and 2-3 papers per class.
History of Immunology. This course will examine the concepts that have shaped what we now consider pillars in our knowledge of the immune system. The course will cover the major events and discoveries that led to these established concepts and, where possible, the advent of technologies that facilitated these advances. The course will involve student participation in the form of presentations in selected areas as well as lectures by some individuals who were part of this history.
Neuroimmunology. The purpose of this course is threefold; 1) to provide students with a basic overview of immunology and neuroscience in conjunction with a specific focus on how neuroinflammatory processes affect the brain, 2) to teach students basic neuroanatomy of the brain, and 3) to have students understand the clinical implications of neuroinflammatory diseases by attending rounds with clinicians. How the immune system influences the brain is an emerging field in neuroscience research and is currently not being addressed in a graduate or medical course.
Innate Immunity. The study of innate immunity has made a resurgence in recent years and its critical role, not only in host defense against invading pathogens, but in the development of adaptive immune responses is now appreciated. This course will provide an in-depth look at selected aspects of the innate immune response including the cellular and molecular components critical to its development. The course will involve student presentations on selected topics.
Mucosal Immunology. The mucosal immune system is essentially the primary site of interaction between invading pathogens and the immune system. Mucosal immunity has always been a strength of the immunology community at UAB and is rarely covered at most other institutions. This class will provide in-depth analysis of the structural features that distinguish the mucosal immune system from the peripheral immune system. Features of innate and adaptive immunity as they relate to mucosal immune responses will also be covered. The course will involve student presentations on selected topics.

No. 109: Indiana
By Paul Myerberg // May 3, 2012
All that was missing was a banana peel. Or Moe, Larry and Curly — nyuk nyuk — though this team could have used the laughs. Indiana's season was like the spring training montage from "Major League," but the film stopped there: there was no magical, inspired turnaround, just loss after loss after loss. Part of me was surprised that after finally scoring a touchdown against Wisconsin, Kevin Wilson didn't imitate one of his predecessors, Lee Corso, and have the entire roster pose under the nearest scoreboard for a team photo. This was the worst B.C.S. conference team in the country, beating out strong contenders like Kansas, Mississippi, Maryland and Colorado for the crown, and this might have also been the worst team in program history. The latter designation says it all, if you're familiar with the history of Indiana football.

AUSTIN -- The Austin City Council looked unified Thursday morning, but members were split over who should help rewrite the City's Land Development Code.
On Wednesday, Council Members Laura Morrision and Kathie Tovo held a news conference speaking out against a resolution that would allow lobbyists or real estate lawyers to help. They said it is a conflict of interest. Council Member Mike Martinez was also against it.
So Council member Bill Spelman, who wrote the resolution, withdrew it but Spelman said the code is complex and excluding stakeholders with legal expertise does not make sense.
"When you're designing a plane, you ask the pilot. You also ask a flight attendant, a mechanic and some very experienced passengers if you're smart and we're doing all of that. All those experienced passengers and mechanics and flight attendants are all going to be in at that table. I think it's only appropriate we ask some pilots to show up as well," Spelman said.
Another hot topic was Rainey Street. Austin City Council heard an update from the Public Works Department. It plans to spend $750,000 on safety improvements.
"That will get us sidewalks on both sides of the street. It will get us a protected cycle track. It will get us some traffic improvements both at the intersection of Rainey and River Streets and Rainey and Davis streets," explained Public Works Department Director Howard Lazarus.
Rainey Street will also be converted into a one-way street running northbound with back-in parking.
Construction will begin in the spring and be completed by SXSW in March.
Austin City Council also approved a $200,000 agreement with Troublemaker Studios, owned by local writer and producer Robert Rodriguez, to establish a creative industry incubator to promote the film and digital industry in Austin.
The agreement is for one year, but there is an option to continue the agreement for two years at the same price.
City leaders said they realized what a lucrative industry film is, and the impact it has on the Austin economy.
Kevin Johns, director of the Austin Economic Growth & Redevelopment Services Offices, said the creative industry kept Austin afloat during the recession.
"During the recession, the creative part of our economy grew 25 percent and created $4.3 billion in investment, created 49,000 jobs and $71 million worth of taxes," Johns said.
Under the agreement, Troublemaker Studios will have to secure at least one major film to be shot in Austin per year and the studio must create 130 jobs. The incubator will also have to promote local artists and smaller studios, and provide opportunities to local film students.

In the role, Duff transforms in front of the audience's eyes from a scared, insecure teenager who endures abuse and emotional turmoil into a woman who is able to stand on her own two feet — and love in a way she never thought was possible.
Duff prepared by watching the 1981 movie and reading Alice Walker's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel. "I learned that Celie and I had both been through a turbulent relationship with God due to the people and situations that occurred in our lives," she says. "Through this role, I was given the opportunity to see the hand of God at work in my life and find absolute truth in the fact that 'all things work together for the good of them that love God and are the called according to his purpose.'"
As she readied herself to take the stage as Celie for a second time (the first being with the Actors' Charitable Theater in Tuscaloosa), she discussed what draws her to the stage, the pre-show ritual she can't do without and how Robin Williams serves as a source of inspiration.
The role of Celie is very complex. She begins in the play as a teen and grows into middle age, all while facing numerous trials and tribulations. What about her transformation speaks to you the most?
Her ability to internally mature. She had every right to be upset with God because of the things that she had experienced, but rather than continue to live a life full of hatred, pity, shame and hurt, she chose life. She learned to forgive and was able to enjoy her life and learn to love again.
What is it about acting that intrigues you the most?
The one thing that intrigues me the most about acting is being able to bring characters to life. From a young age, I've been a sponge. I absorb people and their tendencies. It is nothing for me to sit around someone with an accent and soon after listening to them, find myself talking in the same accent. To finally have found a place where that is OK, acceptable and almost the norm gives me a place to be free.
Do you have any pre-show rituals or rules that you practice before you perform?
Prayer. It is imperative to me and for me to allow the Holy Spirit to operate fully in me as I perform. I realize that what I have and am able to do is a heavenly gift, and I dare not take that for granted. Sometimes, I'll put myself (or my husband will) on vocal rest before a line of shows, just to save myself, and drink Throat Coat Organic Tea.
Whose acting inspires you?
Right now, I'm loving the fact that singer Jill Scott is taking on the acting world! I love to see singers cross over into film and TV successfully. I haven't been inspired by one actor or actress in particular. One of my all-time favorite actors is Robin Williams. He always seems so free in his characters — like they are all locked up inside him, and when he finally gets to let one out, they are bursting with excitement.
What do you want audience members to glean from the experience?
Forgiveness is the key to internal liberty and freedom. When we learn to forgive those around us, we free ourselves from the bondage of hatred, bitterness and hurt. I believe that audience members will be able to find hope and faith again through this play and performance.

Am I the only one who sees that the City is essentially giving away the MSA site AND giving millions to build new buildings on the site when this site would be the perfect place for the Justice Complex? Across from City-County, check; keeping it centrally located, check, etc. It's my understanding that the GM site must be purchased by the City from Motors Liquidation Company. STOP WASTING WHAT WE ALREADY HAVE AND OUR TAX DOLLARS! The Ballard Administration has not been known for it's common sense...never voted for him and never will!
This guy sounds like the classic molester/manipulator.
Louis D. Brandeis was born in 1856. At 9 years of age it would have been 1865. The Brandeis family did not own slaves. My source Louis D. Brandeis: A Life, by Melvin L. Urofsky.
My name is Matthew Lucas Major, I recently went through a jury trial in Bloomington , In. It was the week of Feb 19-21. Although I have been incarcerated since August 5, 2014. The reason I 'am writing to you sir is on the 21 of February the jury came in with a very excessive and wrongful verdict of guilty on 6 child molesting charges against my daughter who was 9 at the time I was accused. I also had 2 other Felonies one of Intimidation and 1 of Sexual Vicarious Gratification. Judge Marc Kellam on the second day of trial gave me a not guilty on those 2 felonies. The jury was sent out during that time and when brought back Judge Kellam told them to not concern themselves with the 2 Felonies that he ruled on them. They were told to not let evidence they had already heard influence there verdicts. I never in my life touched any child sexually and definitely not with my own daughter. When I was arrested Detective Shawn Karr told me I would be convicted guilty just on my daughters word even without evidence. That's just what happened. my public defender did me so wrong he never once proved to the court and jury all the lies the child told, and Jeremy Noel my public defender could of proven the lies easily. The stories in Serenity's depositions and Forensic interview changed and were not consistent as Prosecutor Darcie Fawcett claimed they were. Yet my attorney never mentioned that. The facts that the child accused me of full penetration in her vagina and rectum was proven lies. Doctor Roberta Hibbard of Riley hospital in Indianapolis confirmed Serenity's hymen intact, no scars, no tearing, no signs of rape to her. Yet my attorney didn't use that knowledge . the DNA was all in my favor. I tell you I will spend my entire life in prison going through rape and beatings etc. even Judge Kellam abused his authority by telling the jurors to listen and believe what the prosecutors side in evidence like my daughters testimony. In one interview with the detectives my daughter got flustered with her mom and said on camera " I'm saying what you told me to mom"!! Yet Mr. Noel said nor did anything to even resemble a defense attorney. Judge Kellam allowed edited version of a taped conversation between the child and her mother. Also Judge Kellam allowed the Prosecutor too bring in to my case a knife found under my seat, the knife wasn't part of my case. She was allowed by my attorney and the judge to put a huge picture of it on the screen and huge picture of my naked privates in a full courtroom and open court. Ms. Fawcett says to jury see how easy Mr. Major could reach the knife and cut his Childs throat. Even though I had no weapons charge against these cases. This gave the jurors prejudice thought against me thinking I threatened her with that knife and how scared she would of been knowing i could get it and kill her. On my sentencing court March 19, 2014 my public defender told Judge Kellam he wish to resign from being my attorney and wished for the court to give me outside council to file a error to trial or appeal. We were denied. Now after openly knowing my public defender don't want to represent me he has to. Well when as parents we make our kids clean a room when they really don't wish to, well the child will but don't mean she will do a good job, that's where I'm at with Mr. Noel. please dont ignore mine and my families pleas for your help . we have all the legal proof you could need to prove Im innocent. Please dont make my spend years in prison innocent when you can fix this wrong. Im not saying Im a perfect man or that I was a perfect dad to my 2 children none of us are. Ive made some bad choices in life and I paid for them. But I didnt ever touch or rape my daughter . I love my children with all my heart. And now through needing attention and a ex-wife who told my granny several times she wish she could put me in prison to get me out of their lives. Well my ex finally accomplished her goal. Sad part is she is destroying our daughter with all this horrific lies and things she taught my daughter to say. My daughter will need therapist to ever hope for a chance of a normal life after what she had done to her by her mom and their side of the family. My daughter told everyone even on stand she had a dream months before i supposedly molested her in this dream I was molesting her and when I finally did it matched her dream perfectly. She admitted to watching movies about little girls being molested and watching U-Tube videos about child molesting all before it happened supposedly to her. Doesn't that sound very unusual that a non molested 9 yr old would need to know so much about being molested? The only reason I could think a 9 year old would need so much information is to be prepared to know what to say and be able to say how it felt what took place etc.. So when questioned by authorities she would be prepared. And there again sir if a parent is pre grooming a 9 year old child she would need intimate details . Like telling her daughter about a couple moles on my private area. The child admitted to sneaking my cell and looking many many times at nudes of me and my girlfriend even one where my penis was entering my girlfriends vagina. In that picture my moles are obvious. Yet when prosecutor showed everyone in court my privates and pictures of the moles she said the only way the child would know about them is if she saw them for herself. My attorney once again said nothing about the pictures my child saw. Or could a ex-wife be able to describe my moles to help her case against getting rid of me? I beg you help me. This is my very existence. Ive lost everything , a good job, a wonderful girlfriend, my freedom, but worse thing Ive lost is my children. They were my reason to get up every morning and strive to be better. The wonderful bond I had with my Serenity is gone. After this I would be afraid to even hug her for fear of what next can they do to me. I'm not afraid to tell you I sit here in this cell and try to hold back my tears. Everyone knows you cant show weakness in prison. My life has already been threatened here at Wabash Valley Prison. After only 3 days of arrival. I was tricked into signing a waiver now Im in G Block General Population with 6 child molesting felony charges. Mrs. Hart as a 18 year old I almost died hooked to machines in hospital almost 1 month and now I know that fear was childish compared to this . I cant help but put emotions in this, after all Mrs. Hart Im human and God help Me I never been more afraid in my life. I didnt hurt my little girl I didnt touch her sexually. As much as it shreds me and fills my mind what Im facing I worry more about my mom and granny because of their great love for me mam they are suffering so deeply. I aint done this things but my loved ones suffering right along beside me and If you take my case you will be in essence freeing them also. I sent momma this letter and asked her to email it to you. I'm scared I have been done so unjustly by our legal system and I need you to fix this and give me freedom. I ask you please don't just ignore my pleas. Here in America its nice to be able to trust our legal justice system, well they destroyed my and my loved ones trust in our justice system . And I'm trusting in You !!! My entire family is suffering this nightmare with me. My 77 year old granny had a stroke and isn't doing so well. My single mother that raised 3 kids alone is dying from Lupus and since my arrest has stayed so sick and weary. Our lives torn to peices by a government I was taught I could trust in. my momma has tried so many innocent project and wrongfully accused and cant get anywhere. please please help me. A quote from the late Nelson Mandela: To be free is not merely to cast off ones chains, But to live in a way that respects and enhances The Freedom Of Others. I have Faith in you and your clinic to cast my chains off and give me freedom I do deserve as a wrongfully accused Man, son, brother, father, friend. Matthew Major DOC# 246179 Cause # : 53c02-1308-FA-000779 God Bless you. Please contact me with your decision so I know you made a life changing decision for me , just please at least write me so I know you care enough about your citizens to respond to cries for your help. You can speak openly with my mother Charlotte Spain (828) 476-0406: 71 Lakeview Dr. Canton, NC 28716 Thank You Matthew Major I know yall get thousands of request and inmates claiming innocence, and each person who are innocent deserve to have organizations like yours willing to fight for them and I give yall so much Thanks and I thank God everyday yall are out there caring enough to help free the innocents. Since discovering firsthand how easily lives and families can be destroyed by Poor Defense attorneys not doing their job . And Prosecutors allowed to do as they please in court
Frankly, it is tragic that you are even considering going to an expensive, unaccredited "law school." It is extremely difficult to get a job with a degree from a real school. If you are going to make the investment of time, money, and tears into law school, it should not be to a place that won't actually enable you to practice law when you graduate.

@SportingLifeArk @jefflongUA blah blah blah blah . . . . hope he enjoys WKU when ASU kicks his butt every year!
Dennis Dodd of CBSSports.com catches up with Bobby Petrino in Bowling Green, Kentucky where the former Arkansas coach is now in charge of the Western Kentucky program. It's a long piece that you can see here. As you undoubtedly know by now, Petrino was forced out at Arkansas after having an affair with a 25-year old staffer and crashing his motorcycle with her onboard. As Dodd frames it, Petrino went from "an SEC program with a top-five national ranking to a fifth-place program in the Sun Belt."
Here were a few of the quotes that caught our eye.
What if he had immediately confessed the affair to Arkansas A.D. Jeff Long?
"There were a lot of things going on that didn't allow me to do that. I was in the hospital, medicated."
On son Nick, a student coach at Arkansas last year.
"I thought it was the hardest thing for him more than anything else. I took something away from him."
On communicating with his replacement at Arkansas – John L. Smith
"I tried to stay away. I'd send him a text."
On the kind of program he can create at Western Kentucky
""We can be Boise State. Why not?. We beat them all the time when I was at Idaho." (That was 1989-91 when Petrino was an assistant)
"My vision for the program is to go to a bowl game every year. I figure I've got 14 more years left to go."
Western Kentucky AD Todd Stewart on Petrino
"We've got a guy in the prime of his career. He's 51 years old and has been to the Orange Bowl, Cotton Bowl and Sugar Bowl in the last six years. Sometimes a school will get somebody like that, but they are 20 years removed."
Stewart had a binder prepared with 75 candidates when former coach Willie Taggart left for South Florida. But Petrino was his first choice. "He called back in five minutes."
Petrino's Hilltoppers are scheduled to open against Kentucky and then face Tennessee the following week this fall.

USA Today has reported that Dan will be making an appearance at this year's Academy Awards, in a special segment. Details surrounding the ceremony are being kept secret, but show producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron (producers of Dan's Broadway musical How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying) have said that the show will have a theme of "music in movies", so it's entirely possible we'll see Dan singing and dancing on the Oscars' stage.
Regarding Dan's involvement, Zadan said "We were bewildered. How can you have the biggest franchise in motion-picture history, Harry Potter, and yet no one has ever been on the Oscars? (It) was strange to us."
The Academy Awards take place Sunday 24th February. Check your local TV listings for broadcast times.
Ever wanted to see how Dan and MTV's Josh Horowitz would fare as roommates? Now you can find out in the 100th episode of MTV After Hours, which you can watch here.
Ever wondered how to be Dan Radcliffe? Well, here's a handy 3 step guide, courtesy of Bad Teeth – appreciate your fans, remain grounded, and release all anger. Watch Dan explain it all in the video below.
MTV have released another video clip from Josh Horowitz's interview with Dan at the Sundance film festival. Dan talked to Josh about his experiences filming his upcoming horror film Horns, based on the book by Joe Hill. "A few weeks after we finished I woke up one morning thinking, 'What was that? What was that film I just did?' It's so crazy. I feel like I have less concept of what it's going to be now than when I first started, which is bizarre, but it's very exciting."
Dan also talked about the rumours that he will be playing the Hunchback in Max Landis' adaptation of Frankenstein, saying that he loves the script.

Hamlin hung out in the back of the field and avoided Sunday's last-lap crash to come home with a clean car and a 14th place finish. With the finish, Hamlin preserves his hopes as a contender in the Chase for the Sprint Cup sitting third, 23 points behind leader Brad Keselowski.
"I'm sure my fans are frustrated," he said. "But it's what you have to do.
"One they started crashing, immediately I just stood on the brake and waited on everyone to kind of wash down the track."
Before the green flag ever dropped, Hamlin had decided to hang out in the back. As the laps clicked off, especially after the 150 mark, the question began to arise – would his plan backfire? Had he stayed back too long.
Hamlin, though, never doubted his strategy --- basically football's prevent defense.
"With this strategy you're basically conceding a win --- a chance at a win," he said, "but you're just trying to do damage control not to finish in the 20s and 30s."
Jimmie Johnson is second, 14 points behind Keselowski. Kasey Kahne is fourth, 36 points back.
Hamlin's finish could have been better, but NASCAR chose to freeze the field at the time of the accident, giving him no chance to pilot around the damaged cars.
Jeff Gordon, one of the wrecked cars in the frozen field, managed to make the biggest jump of the day. His second-place finish moved him to sixth place, 42 points behind the leader.
Gordon's finish keeps his hot streak going. After taking third at Loudon, he's posted back-to-back second-place finishes.
"We got really lucky there," Gordon said. "… it keeps the championship hopes alive."
Gordon's Hendrick Motorsports teammate Dale Earnhardt Jr. was not as fortunate. He dropped four spots into 11, all but ending his title hopes with six races to go.
"I don't even want to go to Daytona or Talladega next year," he said. "But I ain't got much choice."

The Cool Kidz Review Gummi Fruit SaladTuesday, February 2nd, 2010 by Jon
We're Back!
Recently, we have tried gummi fruit salad, which consisted of sour watermelons, apples and cherries.
These candies were good,however, their was a clear distinction between the best and the worst. The best being sour watermelons, which are classic and are sold everywhere and are delicious. However, they are not sour, at all. According to one of our mothers named Frannie, "they should be called sweet watermelons!"
In spite of that, they are very good. In our opinion the next best is sour apples. They are moderately sour. And worst of all, but not horrible, are the sour cherries. These red bite sized pieces are interesting in flavor, but the most sour of all three.
Overall, these candies are definitely addictive, but their titles can be misleading as they are not very sour whatsoever.
"Oh babe I'm in the mood for you" – Bob Dylan; Baby I'm In The Mood For You
Peace & Love,
The Cool Kids.
