shrek press conference
February 12, 2001
MIKE MYERS, JEFFREY KATZENBERG AND TODD McFARLANE
The McFarlane Toys master toy license for Shrek kicked off with a bang at a press conference featuring DreamWorks head Jeffrey Katzenberg, Mike Myers (voice of Shrek) and Todd McFarlane, who discussed the film and the toy creative process.
Held at Loew's Theater on 19th and Broadway in Manhattan, the event was packed with print and broadcast media. Brad Globe, head of DreamWorks Consumer Products, got the event started by introducing the Shrek film and showing the theatrical trailer. DreamWorks is partnering with several major companies in a large marketing effort for the film.
"Shrek is the biggest marketing campaign ever undertaken by DreamWorks," Globe said.
He then introduced Todd, who took the mic and started jawing at the crowd in his patented McFarlane style. Todd explained how he became involved with the Shrek project and that he was excited to finally produce a toy "that my own kids can play with."
TODD McFARLANE AND SHREK
"Plus," he continued with a laugh, "I'm really glad to work with Mike Myers again. I'm always happy to work with a fellow Canadian and talk hockey."
Katzenberg came out next and discussed the trials and tribulations he encountered in the 5 1/2 years he's been working on Shrek before talking about what makes the CG animation special.
And it is special. The artists who worked on the film made great strides in realistic-looking animation, particularly in the background textures and environments; the water and fire elements; and, what Katzenberg referred to as "the holy grail of CG," real human facial expressions for the characters, which has traditionally been a monumental challenge for animators.
Finally, Mike Myers took the podium and bantered a bit with Katzenberg about the making of the Shrek and how different it was to just do voice work as opposed to interacting with fellow actors in a more traditional setting.
Myers' biggest contribution, aside from his obvious talent and name cachet, was the creation of Shrek's voice, a mild Scottish brogue. After experimenting with a couple of different voice drafts, Myers settled on the Scottish accent because he thought it suited Shrek's "tough but sensitive" ogre nature.
MIKE MYERS AND McFARLANE TOYS
"I'm most proud of the message of the film, which is to be happy with what you are," Myers said. "I know it sounds corny, but I think it's a really important message."
As the master toy licensee, McFarlane Toys will offer more than 30 Shrek figures and playsets in a variety of sizes and styles, many with sound and play action.
Look for the toys to hit the aisles in early May. The movie is set for a May 18 release.

The recent McKinsey report "Clearing the air on cloud computing" has caused quite a bit of stir within the cloud community, and I can see why. While it definitely brings a good deal of analysis to the table, I feel it is somewhat generalized, makes assumptions and does overlook some key points.
First and foremost, this article is NOT going to be an analytical discussion of the cost of running or setting up a datacenter vs. an Amazon EC2 Windows instance. I'm not a financial analyst. Honestly, calculating the Total Cost of Assets (TCA) or Total Cost of Operations (TCO) causes my eyes to roll back into my head leaving me gasping for air. Don't get me wrong, it seems like some good effort was made analyzing data and formulating conclusions. The problem is, I feel that they were on a jetliner, shooting through the clouds with the shades 1/2 down.
Before I start with my own analysis and commentary, I would like to reference a few responses I have read that somewhat chastise McKinsey.
Three "Rebuttal" Articles to Read
The first comes from CIO IT Drilldown's Virtualization site. In his article "McKinsey Cloud Computing Report Conclusions Don't Add Up," Bernard Golden does the major lifting for me in terms of analysis. I have highlighted some key points from the article that I viewed to be particularly important (my highlighted version of the article is here). I particularly enjoyed Golden's rebuttal to the analysis of cost calculations, namely use of EC2 Windows instances, headcounts that don't add up and other "less visible" capital expenses for facilities and other assets. Also as Golden points out, McKinsey proposes that better efficiencies and savings can be realized through virtualization within the organization. To me, the McKinsey recommendation seems a bit counter-intuitive: "Don't go with a vendor whose expertise IS virtualization, hardware, infrastructure, et al. Instead, DO try to do it yourself, with tremendous CapEx & OpEx expense." Hmmm, makes sense to me, NOT! Lastly, I particularly liked Golden's 3 recommendations (quoted from article):
- Review your portfolio of applications to understand what cloud computing means to you.
- Create a viable financial model for assessing the true costs of internal hosting.
- Evaluate the potential for an internal cloud even if the numbers don't work with an external cloud provider.

I've been missing quite a few episodes of BET's The Game (hence the lack of recaps lately) but I knew I had to watch last night when I found out that Melanie was going to attempt a threesome with Derwin. WERRRRD? I just had to see how this was all going to play out.
So here's how it all went down. Melanie was in a Sunbeams meeting, and she begins reading Derwin's fanmail, which went from kid friendly, to rated X. The other girls suggest that she has nothing to worry about as long as she is keeping her man satisfied in the bedroom (which include sex toys and threesomes). In seconds, Melanie goes from super confident to second guessing herself. She is later on the phone with Derwin and he walks into his hotel room after an away game and is greeted by a groupie in his bed. Melanie can hear her through the phone and decides that it is time to step her bedroom game up after he reveals that things like this happen all the time. She meets a girl at the club and decides to surprise Derwin with some blindfolded threesome action but after he seemed to be enjoying the other girl a little too much, she kicks the girl out.
See, this is an example of why sharing isn't always caring. I understand doing what it takes to please your man but it takes a very secure woman to invite another woman into her bedroom. As the other girl was leaving she told her "Watching you kiss my husband didn't make me feel liberated, or open minded, it just made me feel I wanted to hit you upside the head with a glass bottle and kick all your teeth in!"
Meanwhile, in Malik's world, he has become a changed man after rehab and is falling in love with his new girlfriend. The only problem is, Parker (the owner's wife that he was banging) refuses to let him go and is threatening to accuse him of rape if he doesn't continue sleeping with her. So much drama….and I love it

LOS ANGELES (AP) She was dissed on The Bachelor and came in third place during her first stint on Dancing With the Stars, but Melissa Rycroft is now a winner.
The reality TV star and her professional dance partner, Tony Dovolani, were named the champions Tuesday on ABCs Dancing With the Stars: All Stars.
The pair beat out fellow finalists (and former champs) actress Kelly Monaco and Olympian Shawn Johnson to claim the sparkly mirror-ball trophy.
Fellow contestants on the shows first all-star season hoisted the new winners into the air as confetti rained down inside the Dancing With the Stars ballroom.
Tuesdays two-hour season finale featured performances by the three finalists and each of the returning cast members: actors Pamela Anderson, Sabrina Bryan, Kirstie Alley and Gilles Marini; singers Joey Fatone and Drew Lachey; race car driver Helio Castroneves; reality TV star Bristol Palin; Olympic skater Apolo Anton Ohno; and football star Emmitt Smith.
Six of those contestants Johnson, Monaco, Lachey, Ohno, Smith and Castroneves were previous Dancing winners.
Rycroft and Dovolani came into the final contest with a pair of perfect scores. Those points were combined with viewer votes and a last set of judges scores for an instant dance for which they had less than an hour to prepare.
Rycroft was a contestant on The Bachelor in 2009 and first appeared on Dancing With the Stars that same year. The 29-year-old also starred in a reality series earlier this year, Melissa & Tye, about her marriage to Tye Strickland and their move to Hollywood so she could pursue an entertainment career.

MBA for Professionals Student Handbook - Tips for a Successful Experience
Advice from Recent Graduates
The Willamette MBA is a demanding and rewarding professional and academic experience. It will require you to learn new concepts, apply what you learn to organizations, develop new professional and leadership behaviors, and effectively manage your time and energy; all critical skills for current and future leaders. Recent graduates offer the following tips for academic success at the Atkinson School:
- Study in groups of two to six students to benefit from support and expertise of your student colleagues.
- Seek assistance from faculty, staff, fellow students and University resources.
- Plan your time. Atkinson courses require a consistent effort and pace as opposed to concentrated study for short periods of time. Understanding today's lecture, formula, or case usually depends on mastering the previous assignment
- Avoid getting bogged down in one class and letting others slip. Understand the benefits and limitations of dropping or withdrawing from a course. You may withdraw from a course any time prior to the final class session of the course. Seek advice from the Assistant Dean/Director of Admission if you have questions.
- Use the tutors.
Pursue the Tools of Knowledge, Experience and Career Management
The Willamette MBA is a graduate professional degree. A professional degree requires a different approach than an undergraduate degree. A successful MBA experience requires professional growth in three areas: knowledge, experience and career management.
|Knowledge is important ...but it's not enough by itself.
Experience is important ...but it's not enough by itself.
Career management is important ... but it's not enough by itself.
It takes all three to meet your professional goals.
The best way to be sure you meet your career goals is to fully participate in all aspects of the MBA program.
MBA for Professionals students are welcome to seek advice or communicate with any member of the faculty or staff. Faculty and staff are available during individual office hours and by appointment, email and telephone. Faculty and staff are also often available on a drop-in-basis.
The Assistant Dean/Director of Admission is available to meet with students on the Salem campus and the Portland Center by appointment. The Assistant Dean/Director of Admission is also available by email, telephone, and on a drop-in basis.
Course Difficulties and Issues
Students are expected to be professional and proactive in discussing difficulties with course concepts, completing course work as assigned, grades, and other issues with the faculty member.
The accepted process for discussion of course issues at the Atkinson School is as follows. First, talk to the faculty member involved in the concern. If talking to the faculty member does not solve the concern, then the student should talk to Assistant Dean/Director of Admission, Alex Subert. If talking to Alex Subert does not solve the concern, then the student should talk to Senior Associate Dean Madhu Rao.
Online Resources - AGSM Directory, Schedule of Classes, Grade Reports, Graduation Audit
You have easy online access to the Atkinson School directory (all faculty, staff and student names, emails and pictures), schedule of classes, grades and graduation audit.

Grade Report: https://secure.willamette.edu/services/admin.cgi/gradereport
Graduation Audit: https://secure.willamette.edu/services/admin.cgi/degreeaudit
Individual Tutoring
Tutoring is generally available for any MBA for Professionals course in which a student is currently registered. Tutors are second year students in the early career/career change MBA program.
Individual appointments are available (Salem and Portland) as well as drop in hours at the Salem campus. There may be times when a tutor's schedule does not allow them to come to Portland -- in that case MBAP students should plan to come Salem or tutor via telephone, etc.
A schedule for drop-in hours on the Salem campus is available at http://agsm.willamette.edu/agsm/tutors/ No appointment is needed for drop-in tutoring.
MBAP students interested in working with a tutor on an individual basis should contact Judy O'Neill, Associate Dean and Director of Admission, at firstname.lastname@example.com to request tutoring. Your email request should include the course for which you are seeking tutoring. Arranging an appointment with a tutor may take a few days, so students should be proactive in their requests for tutoring.
Students are expected to utilize tutors in a manner that falls well within school and course policies in regard to collaboration, academic honesty and ethical behavior. The tutor's job is to help the student understand the concepts and processes involved in the course so the student can successfully complete their own work. Tutors may not provide the answers to homework problems or do homework for a student.
Disability and Learning Services
Willamette University is committed to the full access and inclusion of all qualified students in its programs. The Willamette Disability Services office facilitates reasonable accommodations for students with a qualifying disability or temporary medical condition while maintaining institutional standards. Students with a disability should contact Lori Fontaine at the Willamette University Disability Services Office.
Communicate Your Concerns
Students are expected to be professional and proactive in discussing their concerns. The accepted process for communicating your concerns at the Atkinson School is as follows. First, talk to the student, faculty or staff member involved in the concern. If talking to the faculty or staff member involved does not solve the concern, then the student should talk to Assistant Dean/Director of Admission, Alex Subert. If talking to Alex Subert does not solve the concern, then the student should talk to Senior Associate Dean Madhu Rao.
Course Evaluations
Every Atkinson School course is evaluated to stimulate improvement in the quality of teaching and learning in the MBA program. The information provided by students helps pinpoint specific strengths, weaknesses, and potential improvements. Students are encouraged to discuss a course with the professor at any time and do not have to wait until the conclusion of the semester to provide input about a course.
Course evaluations are administered online near the end of the semester to ensure as many students as possible complete and return the evaluations. Students are notified in advance when course evaluations will be available.
Results are distributed to the faculty member after the recorder receives final grades for the course. Original copies of the evaluations are kept on file for three years by the dean and remain confidential.
In accordance with the School's Faculty Personnel Policies and Procedures, course evaluations are made available to the Personnel Committee in assessing the faculty member's contributions to the School's mission. During regularly scheduled personnel reviews, the faculty member is invited to respond to the evaluations by explaining actions he or she has taken or plans to take to improve the course. These reviews also influence decisions to retain, promote, tenure, and allocate resources to the faculty member. The School treats the course evaluations seriously.
Requests for Exceptions to Academic Policies or Procedures
Students requesting an exception to academic policies or procedures must submit a written request and rationale for the request. The proposal should be directed to the Assistant Dean/Director of Admission (email@example.com) who will confer with Madhu Rao, Senior Associate Dean for a decision. The following are required of all written proposals.
- The student must explain the request in detail
- The student must provide information about any discussion or tentative agreements that may have occurred between the student and a faculty member (if any)
- If a tentative agreement has already been made with a faculty member, the student must provide the signature of the faculty member involved or the faculty member must send an email directly to the Assistant Dean/Director of Admission discussing their level of support for the proposal and any other comments or suggestions
- The student must state a clear rationale for the request as to why it is the best alternative for their educational and career goals
If the proposal is not approved, the Assistant Dean/Director of Admission will notify the student via email.
If the proposal is tentatively approved, the student must complete an interview (in person or on the telephone) with the Assistant Dean/Director of Admission to discuss the implications and regulations governing the requested exception and any future implications of the exception.
Following the interview, the student must sign in writing that they understand and accept the exception that has been made and the conditions and regulations governing the exception. The signature is required for the exception to be implemented. Failure to provide a written statement accepting the conditions and regulations governing an exception voids any tentatively approved exception to policy or procedures.
Students should note that the following basic requirements of the MBA degree are never modified:
- Satisfactory completion of the minimum number of credits required for graduation
- Satisfactory completion of required courses (or substitute courses approved by the Senior Associate Dean)
- Minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.00 in Willamette MBA course work

Movie Remote Kids is available for $2.99. Screenshots after the break.
Have an app you'd love to see featured on TiPb? Email us at email@example.com, tell us about your app (include an iTunes link), and we'll take a look.

Control video playpack with Movie Remote Kids for iPhone and iPad
I agree with your comment on being able to access the iTunes video's but as the article suggest it seems that Apple don't allow it. That said the developers have stated there's an update coming that will allow for access to controls on the player device hidden behind a pin, so in effect it will/can be just like the Apple video app. I think when that update comes I'll just move all my files into this app as it will handle both scenarios. We just did a run to the mall and back and my wife was controlling everything from the passenger seat, normally she either reaches round and struggles to change things, or she sits in the back. Not any more!!
Thanks for all the comments and hope you're enjoying the app. To confirm, we're unable to access any videos that are within the iPod or Videos apps as Apple don't allow such access from another app. As mentioned we're also developing v1.1 and this should be out soon as we're just waiting on approval from Apple. If you've got any issues or feedback then please get in touch as we're keen to get the app as good as it can be... email@example.com Thanks, Unique App
Any plans to support AirPlay? If I need to move my video content to this app I would need AirPlay support as I use that at home with my Apple TV!
Yep, Airplay is definitely in the plans and if approved by Apple will be in the next release. :-)
I have loaded my movies onto the controller, Bluetooth is enabled on both the iPad and the ITouch, and both devices show that they are in connection...with the iTouch as the controller and the iPad as the receiver. However, when I push the play button on the controller nothing happens on the iPad, even though the controller indicates that the movie is playing. I'm very disappointed!
This is Star again. The technical support for this app is SUPERIOR! They were in touch with me immediately, and tirelessly worked with me until we finally identified the problem. Not only that, they suggested other apps to help me easily get my movies into the proper formats to work on all my devices. Movie Remote Kids now works perfectly with my iPad and my iTouch, and I am very satisfied. Thank you tech support for all of your help!
What I was looking for in an app was the ability to show my PowerPoint presentations, with all animations working, that I could remotely pause and resume. Using a screen capture program, I filmed my presentations...putting them into a movie format and then, through iTunes, adding them into the Movie Remote Kids app. Now I have full control of my presentations, with all of my beautiful animations and graphics intact, that I can fully remote control. Yes!!!
My wife and i got very delighted John could carry out his basic rceearsh because of the ideas he came across out of your site. It is now and again perplexing to just find yourself giving away secrets and techniques many people could have been trying to sell. And we all know we now have the writer to appreciate for that. These illustrations you made, the easy site navigation, the friendships you help foster it's got most incredible, and it's really facilitating our son in addition to our family believe that that topic is entertaining, and that is especially serious. Thanks for the whole lot!

General Cable Corporation was originally incorporated in New Jersey in 1927. At that time it brought together the plant facilities and manufacturing experience of several older companies founded in the 1800s, including Phillips Wire and Safety Cable Company and Standard Underground Cable, founded by George Westinghouse.

The symbol was no longer three lengths of cable, but rather suggested strands of wire being cabled together or tapes or shields being applied to cable core. 1970 – Installed the highest underground distribution line at Pikes Peak, Colorado. Seven miles of cable buried beneath unpaved mountain roads furnishes electrical energy to three installations including a medical research lab atop the 14,110-foot summit.

So handy
By Kari
from Huntsville, Al
These are so great for kids or anyone. It's so much easier to load your tacos while these hold them up. No more holding with one hand and filling with the other which leads to lots of messes especially with children. Now they can fill their tacos and do two at a time.. I bought enough for each person to have two. So while you're eating one, the other one is waiting and not loosing its' fillings all over your plate. Very handy. And they stack nicely for storing.

Suspended search for new UF president costly
The University of Florida's president is staying put, but the search for a successor still wound up costing the school.
UF President Bernie Machen, who has led the school since 2004, agreed this week to remain on the job at the urging of Gov. Rick Scott and the chairman of the university's board.
But the university - which began a search for a replacement last year - will pay at least $41,000 to the Miramar Beach firm hired to help find a new president.
UF's contract with Greenwood/Asher & Associates called for a total payment of $95,000 in three installments plus up to $9,500 in expenses. The university has already made the first payment of more than $31,000 and expects to pay the full amount in expenses.
But Janine Sikes, a university spokeswoman, said the school does not expect to pay the full contract amount because the search for a new president was suspended. She said that it has not yet been determined how much the university will eventually pay in total.
Machen's decision to remain at the school was a bit of surprise and came days before the university board of trustees was expected to pick a successor.
Machen, 69, had announced in June that he would retire in 2013.
He made the announcement shortly after Scott signed a budget that cut funding for the state's universities by $300 million and vetoed a bill that would have exempted Florida and Florida State University from a 15 percent annual cap on tuition increases.
In a written statement, Machen said he changed his mind about retiring after Scott committed to support his goal of making Florida a top 10 university. Florida is listed 17th among national public universities in annual higher education rankings published by U.S. News & World Report.
Machen's newfound alliance with Scott came months after the UF president criticized the governor for vetoing the tuition bill.
In an email Thursday afternoon, Machen would not say who approached him about staying at the university or when the conversations began.
"I am not interested in discussing the time-line," Machen wrote.
Scott, who has frequently spoken out against tuition increases, said in a statement earlier this week that he had asked Machen to stay on the job and looked forward to working with him and other state university officials "to realize a new vision for higher education in Florida."
The governor is expected to recommend a boost in education funding when he unveils his 2013 budget recommendations in the next few weeks. Scott has also said he plans to tie part of university funding to performance goals.
In his email, Machen said Scott's commitments to UF will show up in his budget recommendations. Machen did not offer any specifics.

White would prefer 'Ace' make money in a Los Angeles juice bar business.
"I think he wants one more fight," said White. "I think he wants to fight again. It's so hard for these guys to retire. It's so hard to make the, 'I'm retiring' statement. It's hard."
"He's building a business right now. He's starting his own business. He's out there (LA) working on that and building his own business. Hopefully it takes off and he makes millions of dollars and doesn't want to do that last fight. That's what I'd love to see.
"When guys get to a certain age, my question becomes, 'Why? Why go in and fight a guy?' I know you love it. I know this is who you are and everything else, but if he does this juice bar thing and it takes off and he makes millions of dollars, good for him. I'd rather that happen."
Franklin discussed the venture in an interview last month.
"Nutrition has always been a passion of mine," he said. "I have been laying the groundwork for an organic juice bar, Ze/Lin, to open this fall in LA. My first location will be in Beverly Hills. Im excited and even busier."

KEYSER - Mingo Central will travel to the state's eastern panhandle and will attempt to weather the storm as they take on the Golden Tornado of Keyser tonight. This is the school's first-ever playoff game in only their second season since the consolidation.
The Miners squeezed into the Class Double-A playoffs with a 40-0 win over Herbert Hoover last Friday night. This made their record 5-5, but they also had to get some help from several other teams to pick up bonus points.
Tolsia, Wyoming East and River View all won, which helped coach Yogi Kinder's squad moved from No. 20 into the top 16 to the 15th spot. The top 16 teams in each classification make the playoffs in West Virginia.
Coach Yogi Kinder said his team did not quit and fought hard in the last game. He told his squad that regardless of the regular season, all teams heading into the playoffs are now 0-0.
"We have to go up there and play as hard as we can," Kinder told his players. "We have had very good practices this week."
"Our kids are ready to play and they have prepared," Kinder said. They practiced at Mountaineer (WVU) field on Thursday evening. "The kids were very excited about that. That is something to remember for life as a football player."
Keyser comes into the game ranked No. 2. They had been ranked No. 1 for much of the season, but were overtaken by Wayne for the top spot in the last week.
"Keyser has a very well coached football team with a lot of very good players with size and speed," Kinder said of the Miners opponent. "The big fullback-linebacker is one of the best in the entire state in any class."
"Their offensive line is big with a lot of experience," Kinder added. "But the defense is where they are very strong. They have a lot of players back from last year's team. We have our hands full this week, but our young kids are looking forward to it."
The Golden Tornado has three good running backs that the Miner's defense will have to contain. They are Danny Fife who has rushed for 976 yards and 18 touchdowns, Blake Ravenscroft who ran for 886 yards and 10 TDs and Garrett Crites who has 642 yards and five scores. Keyser has had 12 different players score rushing touchdowns this season.
Quarterback Cody Eversole has completed 28 passes for 414 yards and only three TDs. So Keyser is basically a running football team. Eversole has also gained 215 yards on the ground and had a pair of TDs. When he throws the football he looks for Crites, Dakota Proud or Amonte Turner. Those are his primary targets.
Keyser is coached by Sean Biser. Their only loss this season came at the hands of Allegheny, Maryland and that was only by two points, 14-12. The Golden Tornado has scored over 40 points three times. In one game they rolled up 60 and in another 51 points. So they have a powerful offense.
The school has one well known alumnus, former major league baseball player John Kruk, who is currently an ESPN commentator.
Mingo Central will rely heavily on senior all-state tailback Joe May who has scored 18 touchdowns and has rushed for over 1,200 yards this season. May is also a weapon on the screen and jet passes and has returned punts and kickoffs for TDs.
Senior Matt Lester will start at quarterback, while senior Joe Hall will be at fullback. Junior Alex Lee is the primary target on pass plays, but he also gets touches out of the backfield and runs back kicks on special teams.
Seniors Garth Simpkins, Davey Ward and Israel Reynolds, along with junior Drew Kirk, anchor the defense for Mingo Central.
The Miners have a young team with only nine seniors on the roster. They left to head north at 8:30 a.m. on Thursday morning.
"We have come a long way in the last few weeks. I sure would like to practice for a few more weeks. I just hope our team likes making it to the playoffs and looks forward to this every year. This is a great group of kids we have Mingo Central and I look forward to coaching them for some time," Kinder added.

Pretty Little Liars
Pretty Little Liars Season 3B Premiere Spoiler Roundup: Mona, Byron, and the Liars Arguing
The Pretty Little Liars Season 3B premiere is finally tonight (January 8), but after the long hiatus even a few more hours seem like an unbearable wait.
To help you pass the time, we've collected all of the juiciest spoilers Season 3, Episode 14: "She's Better Now" right here for your reading pleasure.
Read spoilers at your own risk! For more on Wetpaint Entertainment's philosophy on spoilers, click here.
The release of Mona. According to the official synopsis of the episode, Mona (Janel Parrish) is out of Radley and back at Rosewood High in the premiere. Yep, somehow the first "A" convinced the good folks at the mental institution that she's sane enough to go back to the school, where she stalked and tortured her friends. It's really good for the "A" Team that all of the professionals in Rosewood appear to be incompetent.
The question, of course, is if she has reformed. Mona claims yes, but PLL showrunner Marlene King has hinted that she's as bad as ever.
Arguments over Aria's dad: One thing the Liars definitely disagree about is what to make of Garrett's (Yani Gellman) story about Byron Montgomery (Chad Lowe) talking to Alison (Sasha Pieterse) the night she died. In this sneak peek, Aria is (understandably) in denial that her dad could have anything to do with Alison's disappearance, but Marlene King has confirmed that there is definitely backstory between Byron and Ali that we'll learn about this year.
Speaking of Aria's dad: Meredith is back, and teaching Aria's class at school. Awkward ... and also potentially a big problem, because apparently Meredith is a bit of a little liar herself.
Mona and ... Jason? Why are Mona and Jason (Drew Van Acker) hugging in this sneak peek photo? And why is Spencer worried about Jason in this sneak peek? Marlene King teased that "[Mona] will need some guardianship back in sort of the Rosewood world, and we might find that Jason takes her under his wing a little bit."
And Ezria? Based on this sneak peek, we know Aria still hasn't told Ezra (Ian Harding) about his son. So how do you explain this sneak peek photo?
More about Lucas: According to showrunner Marlene King, we're going to learn more about what's going on with Lucas (Brendan Robinson) in the premiere. She also says that "Lucas sort of cracks" over the course of the season, so hopefully we'll see the beginning of that.
Other key info: We will get an "idea" about who attacked Aria in the Halloween episode in the premiere.
A creepy scene ... on a bed: This episode is going to feature a creepy scene on a bed, whatever that means.
Hanna's grandma is back. Hanna's hilarious and awesome grandmother is back, which means the episode will definitely be funny as well as creepy.
So is the creepy motel guy: Remember that creepy guy who ran the front desk of the Lost Woods Resort? Well, he's back.
More hints: For a bit more, check out our 10 hints about the premiere!
For more, check out the preview of the episode below.

ATLANTA Brian McCann would like to be behind the plate on opening day and beat the projections which have him missing the start of the season.
Even so, the Braves catcher realizes he must be cautious in his return from major surgery to repair a torn labrum in his right shoulder.
McCann said Wednesday things are ramping up midway through his six-month rehabilitation schedule. He began throwing last week and started running two weeks ago.
After making six straight All-Star teams, McCann struggled last season as he tried to play through the injury. He hit only .230, easily a career low and almost 50 points below his career average.
McCann is expected to miss at least the first two weeks of the season. He said his goal is to convince team doctors in spring training otherwise.
He knows it wont be easy.
Im going to have to persuade a lot of people, McCann said. Im going to have to show them Im ready to go and my shoulder is healed. I plan on doing that. I dont know if thats going to happen, but thats my mindset. I want to be ready as soon as possible. I keep getting better each day.
Braves general manager Frank Wren said doctors will be wary of clearing the catcher for jarring hits which could cause a setback to the shoulder.
With the surgery he had, hell be able to hit, hell be able to throw, hell be 100 percent in those areas in spring training, Wren said. Its just the last risk factor is diving and sliding. Thats the area in the shoulder repair our doctors want to make sure is healed. The only way you can do that is with time. You cant rehab it to make it heal faster. Thats going to be the last thing before they turn him loose.
If doctors hold firm to six months from the surgery for McCanns recovery, he would be cleared on April 15. If so, he would miss two weeks a small price if it helps to raise the odds McCann can return to his All-Star form.
I think his mindset is that hes going to be ready, Wren said. Our doctors would rather be safe than sorry and will probably pull the reins back some. But if everything goes well in spring training, I dont think it will be more than a couple weeks before he is ready to rejoin us. I know thats probably two weeks too long for him, but we dont want to put him in a situation where he has any major setbacks.
McCann, who will be 29 when the season opens, is a career .279 hitter. His string of six straight All-Star appearances began in 2006, his first full season. He has hit at least 20 homers six times and has three seasons with more than 90 RBIs.
Last seasons low point for McCann came when he was left out of the starting lineup for the Braves wild-card loss to the St. Louis Cardinals. He finished the season with respectable power numbers 20 homers and 67 RBIs but he hit only .219 with seven homers and 21 RBIs after the All-Star break.
He was swinging almost one-armed, said Braves second baseman Dan Uggla. Its tough. But hes tough and such a competitor that he was going to play through the pain.
I knew it was bothering him. You could tell after watching him hit and play for the last seven years he wasnt doing the things I was used to seeing him doing. I knew something wasnt right.
McCann said he tried everything and it just didnt work for me.
I could swing a bat, McCann said. I just couldnt swing it and be effective like I wanted to. I still felt I could get a big hit for the team and I was still valuable, so I kept going.
I feel like sometimes as an athlete you take a couple steps back to go a couple steps forward so Im looking to coming back better than ever.
McCann said his shoulder already feels better than last season.
Im limited right now in what I can do in the gym but I feel amazing, he said. I feel great.
My range of motion is better now than it was last season, which kind of shows me its been there for a while now, I just didnt notice it. It just got worse and worse.
Wren, McCann and five other players, including Uggla and Jason Heyward, spent Wednesday morning at City of Refuge, an Atlanta mission located only a few miles from Turner Field. The players helped serve a meal and visited a daycare for children of clients working at the facility.
The visit was part of the teams series of offseason public appearances through the Southeast.

I'm considering the possibility of writing a book about Joe and his time with Bomber Command. I'd love to hear your feedback about this. Please use the comments box to give me your thoughts. Novel, or non-fiction? Do you think it would make a good read?
A bit of background for newcomers Joe was my Uncle, but we never met. His precious letters have come into my possession some near-70 years after they were written. It is my honour to transcribe them, and the poignancy of hindsight about what happened to Joe makes this all the more difficult to write, but all the more important that I do. One letter will be posted to this Blog each and every Friday.
Please see below for a link to Joe's full story and the other letters in this series so far.
In today's letter, Joe is still stationed in Bridgnorth, Shropshire where he is in the Air Gunnery School.
Letter 25 – March 1944
"3050664 Thompson AC/2
5 Flight A Squadron
44 Course No1 EAGS
RAF Station
Weds night.
Dear Mom and Kids,
Sorry about the delay between letters but I get a chance to write about 1 letter a night as we get a hell of a lot of fatigues and hardly any spare time. Things will get a little better soon when we are accustomed to the routine of this camp.
Well, we're all cheesed off as you can guess, what with the rotten food, 5 mile route marches and 7.30am parades. Things are a bit of a bind but when we get a leisure hour we appreciate it the more. Today we took our flying kit to the Stores and had a reissue. We now have:- 1 electrically heated, outer flying suit, 1 inner, quilted, silk covered suit, 4 pairs of gloves (chamois, wool, silk and leather gauntlets), 1 leather helmet, 1 pair of suede, fleece-lined flying boots, 1 pair of goggles with tropical lenses as well, 1 oxygen mask, 2 pairs of socks to put in flying boots, 2 pairs of woollen long socks! That lot fills a Kit Bag the same as before but it's heavier. When we get to A.G.S (Air Gunnery School) we get another Kit bag full! At this place we get instruction on how to wear the stuff to our advantage.
Tonight we had some cook house fatigues which are, strangely enough, very popular! I came away with 10 sausages, 15 slices od bread, 1/2 lb of margarine, a piece of cheese and some tea in a billy-can! Hald of our room have been flogging / selling their goods all night including me! Some get away with loaves, rashers of bacon (fried), tins of evaporated milk and Lord knows what! It's about the best meal I've had since I've been at this dump!
Last night I was assigned to Camp Fire Patrol with 24 others. We were supposed to be on all night but as soon as we got in the room the Corporal told us to 'Scram' in no uncertain terms! That's the type of guard I like!
While in the cookhouse, my mate Joe Lyons and I were on a spud peeling machine. The spuds are put in a revolving drum with lots of little things like combs inside, with water in jets at both ends. Well we put 1cwt of spuds in, left 'em for 10 mins, took 'em out and they were OK! We then had a Cpl tell us off because we didn't take out the eyes! The next cwt went in for 20 minutes! When the trap at the bottom is opened they shoot out like a machine gun. Well, when. at the end of 20 mins we open the trap, about 20 white peas trickled out!! Blimey, I roared! The Corporal was peeved because a cwt of spuds had gone swanny but he didn't seem unduly worried about it! If Joe and I were left alone for long around here we'd wreck the joint!!!
Joe by the way comes from Liverpool, he's one of the original set of 6 Joes from London, we've been knocking about together since we joined and as you can imagine he's a bit of a lad!
By the way, I may leave here in 4 weeks instead of 6, but if not, there's a chance that I'll get 36 hrs pass in about a month, I hope!
I had a smashing letter from Marie today, I don't know what I've done to deserve it! Our Flight Officer D.F.M & Bar D.G.M was in our room today, and like all good(?) airmen, we stood to attention! He promptly told us not to 'act the goat'!?! He doesn't care a damn for rigmarole, all he wants to get, is better conditions in the Station and better food, so he says. I hope he means it!
Well I'll pipe down and fry a few sausages and some bacon for my supper then 'op it to bed!
Please send me some hankies as soon as possible as I haven't got any. I've written to Aunt 'Em, but haven't had any mail from you up to now, it should be here tomorrow though.
Cheerio x God Bless,
Joe. xxxx
P.S. Oh boy, fried bacon!!
P.P.S. Hope you can read this, 'cos I can't!"
Joe is back in high spirits again. The girls are still writing to him (!) and he's baffled by the amount of Kit he will have to manage. I'm doubting whether a career as a potato peeler is on his mind…..!
Joe's full story is beautiful and tragic. He was our family hero. He IS our family hero. If I knew how to complete an effective RAF salute, I would salute you now, Joe. Long may your memory live in our family stories. I hope to post a new letter from Joe's correspondence with his Mother here every Friday until they're done. It will be a turbulent and heart-wrenching journey. Subscribe to the Blog to make sure you don't miss any of it.

Local cupcake business featured in children's bookWritten by Michelle Zepeda | | firstname.lastname@example.com
A local cupcake shop is once again being thrust into the national spotlight. In 2011, Lori Jacobs and Dana Iliev, co-owners of Cake in a Cup in Sylvania Township, were featured on "Cupcake Wars" on the Food Network and won their episode. Now the duo and their treats are the subject of a children's book with a positive message.
"I love it because cupcakes are so happy, so if they can go beyond making someone happy and give them a message of feeling great just the way you are, it's a bonus," Jacobs said.
She said a random call to the shop by authors Nick Rokicki and Joseph Kelley has turned into an amazing partnership.
"We knew we wanted to team up with a local business because it is a way for businesses to get involved with literacy and get their own name out in schools," Rokicki said.
Rokicki, a Toledo native, and Kelley, who is from Detroit, knew their next children's book would be set in a cupcake shop. So they searched bakeries and cupcake shops in their hometowns and landed on Cake in a Cup.
"We researched a lot of cupcake shops and found out that Cake in a Cup do a lot for the community and are heavily involved," Kelley said. "We knew we wanted to have a cupcake shop in my hometown or his hometown."
"Casey and Callie Cupcake" — a frosted fable about being fantastic just the way you are — is completely centered in Cake in a Cup.
"Our flavors, our storefront, the inside of our store and our exact cupcakes are featured. They gave them cute little names," Jacobs said.
"We are super lucky to be asked to join up with them. The book captures the business and us," Iliev added.
The book, set to be released on Amazon on March 15, sports illustrations of the shop, its logo and even Jacobs and Iliev.
"I asked them to make me thinner and they did, which I love, and Dana asked to be taller," Jacobs joked.
"Casey and Callie Cupcake" touches on the topic of being the best you can be.
"It's a story about two cupcakes trying to be better than the other one," Kelley said. "Kids sometimes do that too much and that does lead to bullying."
The main characters in the book, Casey and Callie, break down that lesson in a fun way.
"It's Letting kids know they are fine the way they are and you don't have to be better than anyone, you just have to be the best you can be," Kelley said. That is a message Jacobs and Iliev are eager to spread.
"It should be fun going around to the schools and being involved in their reading programs," Iliev said.
Jacobs added, "I love that we are part of promoting reading."
For the authors, promoting reading is just as important as writing a children's book with a message.
"A lot of kids we have noticed are not up to par on reading," Rokicki said. The pair travels to schools in our area for free, sharing their books and getting kids excited about reading.
Rokicki and Kelley are best known for their first children's book, "Pete The Popcorn." They then teamed up on another children's read, "Clipper Comet," as well as a book that is part biography, "P.E.T.E — Pursuing Excellence Through Encouragement." All of their books have a message.
"The easiest way to write is to find your message first and write around it," Rokicki said.
A book signing will take place from 4-7 p.m. March 28 at Cake in a Cup, 6801 W Central Ave.
"Nick and Joe will be here signing books and we will be selling cupcakes," Jacobs said.
"And we will be featuring Casey and Callie cupcakes on the book signing day," Iliev added.
The book will also be available for purchase at Cake in a Cup.
If you are interested in having the authors or the girls from Cake in a Cup stop by your school for a visit and read to your students, visit www.PeteThePopcorn.com to send a request.

Newbies, Post in Welcome Central to open up the boards

* Well, after doing some introspection, moderate self-correction and prayer, I got possible inspiration to start a meeting for business here. I don't know people here very well, just that you're mostly all likely to be universalists, but it seems like some may like to collaborate somehow.* Does anyone have any proposals for how you'd like to collaborate with anyone here?
CHB said: When you say "I got possible inspiration to start a meeting for business here." Are you referring to the forum or where you live?
You're not a leper brother Lloyd. I imagine you're disappointed, but I think there are multiple reasons why some of this doesn't resonate with folks as you'd hope. **IF I'M WRONG, FEEL FREE TO join up, organize, etc. Or Lloyd, maybe what I write will give you some ideas on how to clarify what you're thinking and asking. Many have been burned by "religious organization and organizations", so aren't looking to re-organize/re-institute, unless and until God Himself miraculously does it. I also think some just have varying views about what unity actually is, what it means, what it looks like. I also think some/many don't believe there will be peace until "God's plan" has run its course, when HE establishes HIS peace - when every knee has bowed and every tongue confessed, all Israel is saved, God is All in All, etc., etc. Jesus Himself said He came not to bring peace, but a sword. His message, His Word, divides. But that's a whole other topic. On point, Jesus did say blessed are the peacemakers, but what does that mean? Organizing through man-made groups, or living a life of humility and love, being led by the Lord as we interact with others day by day and however it is that God individually leads us? Some believe one way about that, some another. Paul also talked of unity and peace, and exhorted us to live quietly and peaceably. But I believe the other piece of what he said is important. He said "as much as is possible/within our [individual] ability to do so". I believe implicit in that is, there are just some that won't allow it, some that we cannot be in unity or at peace with. Bringing this full circle in my thoughts, I personally believe we should individually do as we are led by the Spirit, which will bring peace within us and with many we come into contact with. But some won't have it right now, and Jesus told the apostles to shake the dust off their feet and move on. I believe there will be strifes ("wars and rumors of wars") until God's plan has run its course and He miraculously fills the earth with His knowledge and righteousness. All that doesn't mean we should do "nothing". But again, I think those who have left institutionalized religion and been led "outside the camp", into the desert "alone with the Lord", may be less likely to look at "re-organizing" as an attractive option.**I can't speak for everyone, please add your own thoughts and "corrections" anyone, I just thought I'd try to summarize some of my own observations and thoughts; that it might help explain some of the resistance Lloyd is sensing.
I am wondering, what could be done on this forum that we are not doing already? CHB

RFF Home > Centers > CECE
RFF's Center for Energy and Climate Economics (CECE) designs efficient and effective policy options for sustainably developing energy resources and addressing global climate change. Within CECE, RFF experts conduct rigorous economic research and policy analysis on today's most pressing issues, helping leaders around the world make better decisions that balance the need for economic growth and environmental stewardship.
CECE was launched in 2014 as a result of combining RFF's energy and climate centers, reflecting RFF's comprehensive approach to examining these intertwined issues and building upon existing research underway at RFF.
CECE's research portfolio includes a range of domestic and international energy and climate issues, such as the future of the US electric power sector, climate change adaptation and mitigation policies, international trade and competitiveness, energy issues in China, and options for international climate policy structures.
To enrich RFF's research and collaboration on important topics, CECE has established the following initiatives that offer opportunities for unique economic and policy analysis and expert engagement, in addition to a broader research portfolio. These initiatives are currently in progress.
The New Natural Gas Landscape
RFF experts are examining the costs, benefits, impacts, and opportunities of developing new natural gas supplies, in the United States and abroad.
The Future of Power
The US electricity sector is experiencing significant change, driven by both market and regulatory forces. RFF experts are exploring several critical issues, including regulating carbon under the Clean Air Act and improving energy efficiency policies and information.
North American Energy OpportunitiesRFF experts, working with colleagues in Canada and Mexico, have begun to explore options for North American energy integration.
Considering a US Carbon TaxRFF experts are examining the potential impacts of a federal carbon tax to help leaders better understand the fiscal and environmental costs and benefits.
Transportation: Vehicles, Fuels, and EmissionsRFF experts are exploring ways to reduce transportation congestion and pollution, while promoting innovation—both in the United States and abroad.
Surveying American Attitudes toward Climate Change and Clean Energy
RFF has teamed up with Stanford University and The New York Times to conduct an in-depth survey of American perceptions of climate change and energy policies.
Deepwater Drilling: Recommendations for a Safer Future
In August 2010, the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling asked RFF experts to conduct a series of studies that would help inform the commission's investigations and recommendations by identifying potential improvements in industry and government practice to reduce the risk of future catastrophic spills.
Reforming Institutions and Managing Extremes: US Policy Approaches for Adapting to Climate Change
RFF experts examine the effects of a changing climate on terrestrial ecosystems, marine ecosystems, freshwater resources, agriculture, human health, and infrastructure, and provided steps that the federal government can take to address those impacts.
