AUSTIN, Texas (KXAN) -- A University of Texas student walking across campus on Thursday was hit with a bleach-filled balloon.
The student was not injured and the Austin Police Department is investigating the incident.
The incident is similar to ones reported in 2012 near campus.
APD confirmed multiple cases involving bleach-filled balloons being thrown or dropped on minority students last year.
As a result, students marched through campus demanding the university step up and take action.

Haven really wouldn't be the same without its Character family. I'm sure you'll agree, they really make a holiday special for your little ones - whether they're reading stories, involved in another exciting adventure or just making your photo memories special. Don't be shy, come over and introduce yourselves to them.
You can count on the FunStars to keep your family entertained every day of your holiday. When you arrive we'll give you a guide to all the fun family activities we have on each morning, afternoon and evening of your holiday.
This club comes together every day for pre-school-style fun gatherings. Your little cubs will love all the exciting musical games and creative activities we put on for them; like our messy morning craft sessions.
Rory the Tiger and Bradley Bear have started up their own, special club for 5-8 year olds. They love arty stuff like painting and gluing, and they often head outside to play games and learn about nature and wildlife.
As the name suggests, this club is all about picking up fun new skills so your 9-12 year olds can go home and impress their friends. From footie tricks and arty tips, to map reading and juggling, there's loads to learn.
The Seaside Squad - our resident bunch of fun-loving, mischief-making, cuddly Characters. And they all love two things: the seaside and making new friends. That's why they live with us at Haven, where they can meet you and your little ones on holiday.
Teen's are happiest around other teens, so over the summer we run this club for 13 year olds and over. It's nice and social and we'll be organising cool activities like archery and fencing. T-Co Club runs throughout the Summer school holidays.
Just like us our Seaside Squad like to celebrate their birthdays too. So if your holiday is lucky enough to fall on these dates, then you're cordially invited to help party with our Characters (for all kids between ages 5 and 11). There will be plenty of party dances, cupcake decorating, party games and lots of photo opportunities too!
"Sometimes I feel a little shy - but I always know my singing and dancing can really cheer people up! So I like to be around to help my friends have the most fun they possibly can..."
Join Anxious to celebrate her birthday over a four night midweek break: Monday 28 September - Friday 2 October
"It's my job to make sure the rest of the gang behaves themselves. And I love to have fun and entertain (especially at picnics!), too. Don't tell the others but... I reckon I'm a hero bear and born to save the day!"
Join Bradley to celebrate his birthday over a 4 night midweek break: Monday 12 October - Friday 16 October
"Get ready to rumble! I'm definitely the most fun-loving prankster in the gang. Some call me 'naughty' but I'm really all about enjoying the magical mayhem we like to get up to here..."
Join Ned to celebrate his birthday over a 4 night midweek break: Monday 23 March - Friday 27 March
"I might be a wee bit clumsy - but I'm bonkers about bananas and love to tell stories and play practical jokes with my pals! And did you know that I'm from bonny Scotland?"
Join Greedy to celebrate his birthday over a 4 night midweek break: Monday 8 June - Friday 12 June
"I'm everyone's best friend. And I like to be the organiser of the gang too - keeping an eye on Greedy and Ned. But I'm not too bossy (honest!). And you'll often find me in the kitchen, cooking up some tasty treats..."
Join Polly to celebrate her birthday over a 4 night midweek break: Monday 29 June - Friday 3 July
"I'm the big guy that's always (well nearly always) in charge. Of course, I'm a bit of a prankster and very cheeky but I love my friends - and always keen to make new ones!"
Join Rory to celebrate his birthday over a 4 night midweek break: Monday 4 May - Friday 8 May
Let Anxious delight your kids' senses, such as hearing, smell, sight, touch and taste – with the wonders of exercise! This activity is best for kids under four years old and you'll find Anxious at our Little Cubs club. You'll see the benefits to your little one's development and you'll know they're having fun too!
It's the little things in life that matter – we all remember creating forts and ships with cardboard boxes, and things haven't changed a bit. Bring along your kids aged between five and twelve for this great, free activity... So with nothing but paper-based tape and dozens of recycled cardboard boxes, we give kids the freedom to create anything they like – as imagination has no limits.
We know how difficult it is to get the kids to have breakfast on holiday, when all they can think about is dashing to the pool. So let us slow down those manic mornings with a lovely breakfast served in one of our bar and restaurants, and a morning meeting with a few of our Seaside Squad too! Let us start your day with a little excitement!
If your kids love to get their hands grubby with all things creative then bring them along to our arts and crafts sessions. They can get to grips with all paints and mix-media and make a perfect keepsake of their holiday to treasure forever. As long as kids are over five, they're more than welcome to get involved with our friendly team. It runs throughout the whole season. So paint brushes at the ready – it's gonna get messy!
We urgently need your help – all our Seaside Squad have gone missing! Follow the clues to help us track them down. You'll find us at Club R&B for kids aged between five and eight years. It's free to help so bring along Mum and Dad and let's get tracking.
Let us introduce quiz time to your little ones. Along with our fun-loving Seaside Squad we'll make it enjoyable enough to keep any energetic young 'un happy! What's even better is it's totally free and available all season, so no one misses out on the fun. Let's see who can answer Rory's first question.
Got your trainers tied up tight? Our Seaside Squad will be holding a number of sports day events so you can expect plenty of weird and wonderful games to play; from wellie wanging to the bean-bag-between-your-knees race. So if you're under 12 why not get involved? There's a small cost – so you'll have to ask Mum. There are plenty of opportunities to get involved as we have events throughout the whole season.
If you can steer your teenagers away from their phones then there's our T-Co club that runs throughout the summer. It's a great opportunity to make new friends in a social environment by the beach – we'll be playing Frisbee, rounders and volleyball – so get them involved! This club is free but it does depend on what the weather's doing.
Is there a hidden star in your family who's waiting to shine? If so, why not enter them in our competition? An all-time holiday entertainment show will never fail to bring you to tears of laughter. It's free to enter, so what have you got to lose? This is a great competition and it runs throughout the season, so no one misses out on the fun. Get practicing those notes and dust off those dancing shoes; it's time to show us what you're made of.
Dear little ones, if you want to let your friends know how much of a great time you're having on holiday then come along to our Holiday Pen Pals. You can design and write out little postcards to send to whoever you like. Come and find us at Club R&B for kids aged between five and eight years. There's no need to bring any pennies – it's free. Love from, Haven.
Sit back and close your eyes as Anxious guides you and your tots through an epic imaginary adventure. You can find us in our Little Cubs club for kids up to four years old and it's completely free. Glide in and out of reality as it sends the little ones gently to sleep.
Sssh – don't tell Mum! With Messy Morning you can get as grubby as you like. With plenty of pots of paint, tubes of glue, sprinkles of glitter, variety of coloured paper and so much more to get your hands on. As long as you bring an adult family member with you to our Little Cubs club for kids up to four years old, it's totally free. Overalls at the ready; cos it's gonna get messy!
We know the little ones just want to be like the big kids. So we've created Mini Stompers; it's an easier version of the teens' ZStomp dances so they can keep up with the rest! It's perfect for kids aged between five and twelve and you can find this free activity in Club R&B and Skillz club.
There 'aint no party like a Ned's Non Starty Party – and this is true. Ned is hosting his very own party, and there are sure to be a few hiccups along the way. Will it go to plan? Come along and find out. All kids aged between five and twelve are welcome and there's a small charge that varies by park. Ned's party goes on during the whole season – so no one needs to miss out.
Let DJ Ned introduce your little ones to making music with this fun and interactive session. You can find DJ Ned in the Little Cubs club for kids up to four years old. It's totally free and you'll find Ned's Tots and Tunes runs throughout the whole season – so everyone has the chance to make a good old racket!

The FunStars love being outdoors, and this summer we are making the most of this. Come rain or shine we'll have a collection of games and activities for all the family to enjoy.
Craving those bright lights and buzz of the fun fair? We have our very own just for you to enjoy. So try your hand at the coconut shy, hook a duck, tin-can alley, splat the rat and so much more.

For the best value in multi-species fishing, you can't beat the Skorpion™ and Stryker™ fish-ready packages from Lowe. Fight bass and crappie on the large bow and aft decks. When you're done landing schools of panfish, store all of your gear in the lockable storage compartments or under the driver & passenger seats. High-grade, 16-oz. marine carpet lines the deck for a softer, sound foothold. Both of these high-value mod-v boat packages include a painted trailer with swing tongue so you can easily tow your boat to your favorite destination.

Eulogy for a Vampire
A remote rural monastery inhabited by the monks of the mysterious Order of Pathicus is the site of a heinous murder, committed by a young novice, Anthony, upon another young novice, Florian, when his affections and sexual desires are not reciprocated. Flash forward 25 years -- Father Anthony, now the head priest of the monastery, has maintained the secret of the murder, and the hiding place of Florian's corpse. But, all is not well: animal eviscerations, strange sounds in the night, and the presence of a strange "phantom goat" in the dark corridors forebode an evil presence. Add to this, the handsome young drifter, Sebastian who is found unconscious near the monastery.

prev | next
In any case in which the ownership of a tract of land is transferred from a parent farm, the acreage allotments, history acreages, and base acreages for the farm shall be divided between such tract and the parent farm in the same proportion that the cropland acreage in such tract bears to the cropland acreage in the parent farm, except that the Secretary shall provide by regulation the method to be used in determining the division, if any, of the acreage allotments, histories, and bases in any case in which—
(1) the tract of land transferred from the parent farm has been or is being transferred to any agency having the right to acquire it by eminent domain;
(3) the parent farm resulted from a combination of two or more tracts of land and records are available showing the contribution of each tract to the allotments, histories, and bases of the parent farm;
(4) the appropriate county committee determines that a division based on cropland proportions would result in allotments and bases not representative of the operations normally carried out on any transferred tract during the base period;

I can remember all of two readers writing in (commenting on a post) that they are Cal alum. Other than that, there has been little love for the Golden Bears.
So if you are in denial that Berkeley produces good football talent, let me point out that Cal grads Aaron Rodgers, Marshawn Lynch, and Tony Gonzalez are all playing for the NFC in this year's NFL Pro Bowl. (There may be one more Cal guy, but he is not jumping out at me. I thought I saw his name when I ran through the list for the first time.) Essentially three of the top offensive stars for the NFC came from Bezerkeley.
That is all. . .

to be here among other candidates for the Khazanah Asia Scholarship Program.

would be announced as program scholars. The camp taught me many things:
leadership, teamwork, interpersonal skills and integrity. I got to meet other
candidates of different backgrounds. We studied together and had to compete
against each other to win the scholarships but could still keep our spirit of comradeship
intact," said a program candidate, Absa Pradista.

possible for CIMB Niaga and its partner, Habitat for Humanity, to construct
fourteen (14) more houses for low-income families in Indonesia. The program
confirmed a larger number of units to be built: last year's event managed to
raise funds for 11 homes -- an achievement to be proud of.

And it has always been this spirit that keeps members of
the team going and raising funds wherever and whenever they can through the
'Ayo Menabung dan Berbagi' initiative. In two days of the event, the team
managed to collect Rp 685,000, making the total of fund deposited in the 'Ayo
Menabung dan Berbagi' account come to a handsome Rp 86,180,501 (eighty six
million one hundred eighty thousand five hundred and one rupiah). May the
spirit of sharing be always in us for one single purpose: reaching out and
benefitting as many people as possible in Indonesia.
Fund Raising of AMDB Program At Budget Review
Another equally important issue also made it to the
meeting agenda: CIMB Niaga CSR team's 'Ayo Menabung dan Berbagi' (AMDB)
program. Those involved in the meeting were invited to contribute to the
fund-raising initiative. The team also introduced to high officials in
attendance various jewelry boxes assembled by small and medium enterprises.
These SME's took part in the "50 Super Days" project -- 50 days of counseling
with CIMB Niaga scholars giving back to the community by providing marketing-,
accounting- and management-related services to entrepreneurs engaged in jewelry
box manufacturing businesses. The team made a total of Rp 1,927,000 from the
sales of the SME products and the fund-raising session. The money was deposited
to the AMDB account which now had a balance of Rp 97,377,501.

Legal Director of CIMB Niaga, said that the program reflected her company's
commitment to consistently assume its corporate social responsibilities,
particularly in the promotion of education. This is the second year of the

Learn and Play With Kit for Kids
Wednesday, July 25, 2012, was the day picked by CIMB
Niaga to get the children at SD Yasporbi Jakarta to learn great values through
the Kit for Kids initiative in the 2012 'Ayo Menabung dan Berbagi' campaign
series. The young ones were involved in a story-telling session aimed at making
them aware of the importance of saving and sharing at school. They were then
taken to a prepared site where they could play with plants and soil in a joint
tree-planting activity. Around 200 fourth, fifth and sixth graders
enthusiastically take part in all steps of the Kit for Kids session.
July 25 - September 10, 2012. Following the relaunch of
the 'Ayo Menabung dan Berbagi' for 2012 featuring a Talkshow and Kit for Kids
at SD Yasporbi in Pancoran, CIMB Niaga scheduled another Kit for Kids to take
place at 7 primary schools in the Greater Jakarta region: SDK Penabur Kelapa
Gading, SDK Penabur Kota Modern Tangerang, SD Tarakanita 3 Kebayoran Lama, SD
Tarakanita 5 Rawamangun, SD Mentari International Bintaro, SD Global Prestasi
School Bekasi and SD Victory Plus.
As a way of showing that it also cares for the
environment, CIMB Niaga donated to each school tree seedlings. The children
were expected to nurture the young plants to grow into strong and big shady
trees to contribute to their school's green environments.
Kit for Kids 2012 Bandung Campaign
The visits took place on Thursday, September 27, 2012.
The first on the list was SD Yos Sudarso; around 150 pupils and their teachers
were very happy to get their hands on the Kits for Kids and start planting
trees. When the work at SD Yos Sudarso was done, the team went to SD Al Azhar
30 Bandung to find 183 schoolboys and schoolgirls impatiently waiting to enjoy
the day together. In the story-telling
session, the children were invited to take part in a treasure hunt role play
where they learned about the concept of saving and sharing. Afterwards they
joined the team for a tree-planting session. Students ready for work wearing
aprons offered a different and refreshing sight.
Fund-Raising at University Of Indonesia
CIMB Niaga also made a presentation on its Beasiswa
Unggulan (scholarship for high-achievers) and Beasiswa Unggulan Teknologi
Industri Kreatif CIMB (scholarship for students intending to take courses on
technological applications for creative industries). As part of the AMDB
campaign, students were informed of the beautiful concept of saving and
sharing, and invited to apply the concept on the spot. The team managed to
raise a total of Rp 102,900 during the whole event, and the money would go to
the AMDB account for use in character building and improvement projects in
Indonesia. CIMB Niaga expected that its participation in the UI scholarship
week would help students to relive and embrace the culture of sharing with
Kit for Kids 2012 Semarang and Yogyakarta
A total of Rp 4,642,400 was collected, and the money
would go into the AMDB account and be used for organizing personal skill
development courses aimed at early childhood education teachers all over

For Kids
The children were also encouraged to donate their money,
and the results were fantastic: SD Santo Carolus managed to raise Rp 830,000,
while SD Santa Maria II Sidoarjo collected Rp 1,532,000. The amount of money
that they gave for others -- Rp 2,362,000 -- showed that they cared and were
aware that many children out there need their helping hands in order to be able
to keep going to school and study. All the raised funds would go to the special
'Ayo Menabung dan Berbagi' account and be used for the effort to promote
education in Indonesia.
Kit for Kids Medan: Motivation to Share
"Many children out there have lost the
opportunity to learn at school; others who are slightly luckier have to take a
really long route to get to their schools. So, to help these kids, let's set
aside some of our money for those in need, and donate it to CIMB Niaga's AMDB
program," encouraged Perlindungan Lubis, principal of
SD Harapan 1 and 2 in Medan.
The program's agenda covered story-telling and
tree-planting sessions with a purpose of teaching the children the importance
of growing plants for environmental preservation in Indonesia. CIMB Niaga
thanks all the lovely and caring children, and hopes that what they donated
would benefit many people.
Kit for Kids Malang: A Cool City of Malang
Gift presentation, interactive story-telling and tree
planting kept them in high spirit and happily absorbed in all activities. With
enthusiasm and warmth they met the Kit for Kids team members who then engaged
them in various games, and in sessions where they sang songs together and
donated money for others. Even the sharing part of the event brought joy to
them because they were aware that what they shared would benefit less-fortunate
Thank you, little friends...

I have two little boys who both love the Cars movies. I love the idea of this cartridge, but have found that the cuts are difficult to get right, and even more difficult to layer. I have had much success when working with larger cuts, such as fit to page, but for small cuts this is extremely difficult. On the plus side, it cuts well from vinyl so it is perfect for wall decor. On the negative side, it doesn't work well with the cricut cake as the cuts are much to detailed.
Cute images on this cartridge but difficult to layer. Definitely should make the cuts larger than 4 inches!
This is a fun cartridge, but the cuts are pretty intricate. I have made foam Maters and used the flames to add style to my son's numbers flashcards. For his Star of the Week poster I used the smirking McQueen and made the eyes green to match my sons. I wish they had similar cartridges with Hot Wheels and Monster Trucks. My boys just love the designs on this one.
I was so excited to get this cartridge. With two little boys, it was a huge let down to find out how difficult this cartridge is. The layers are almost impossible (almost) to get right. I tried to cut McQueen out at 4 and 5 inches- there is no way that the machine can cut the fine details like the lightning bolt or 95 on the side. I recut the image at 8 inches which is huge, but the only way I could possibly get the details to come out appropriate. That said, I still can't bring myself to tell someone not to buy this cart. Because it does look great once you've fought with it and completed your project. One thing I didn't like about this cart was that some layers had to be cut out together but were intended to be different colors. For instance the blue windows and yellow accents were on the same layer, so I had to cut them out of both colors and discard (read waste paper) in order to get the correct look. There was no way to avoid this. If my kids weren't crazy over Cars, I would have given up after the first two cuts.
If you or your little one(s) loved the movie then this cartridge is for YOU. Some images are time consuming and need patience. The images are fun and give live to any project. I did a wall tile for my 20 something daughter to hang in her apartment. Happy Crafting.
