Letter to the editor: Why my lawsuit against the city was halted
By Al Brewster
My lawsuit against the city of Frisco concerning the Arts Center of North Texas issue has drawn considerable media attention. While I was pleased with that, as I talk to people who know me, I find a disconnect in their understanding of what I was doing.
I hope this letter may clear that misperception: I was not trying to "get my money back." That phrase causes people to think that I expected my $500 back from the ACNT, but I have no questions regarding their use of my or other supporter's funds.
I also accept that Frisco voters revoked the authority to issue additional bonds continuing the ACNT project. My case against the city centered on the City Council's actions in carrying out the voters' directions. Frisco's city attorney told the council and voters that approval of the ballot issue would result in the City's "terminating its interest in, and forfeit any rights to the project."
I believed this suit would bring attention to poor judgment exercised by the current council members. However, I failed in both areas, as no residents have volunteered to run for the two City Council seats up for grabs in May, so they will continue in office by default. I understand this, as I often state that I have great admiration for residents who put themselves into a Frisco City Council job, considering the exceedingly small stipend the city currently provides, and one must be wealthy to consider doing so.
Concerning my court case, I will not have "my day" in court to present my issues to a judge for decision. I am not an attorney, but I did extensive research into Texas laws and thought I had a strong, presentable case.
The city attorney advised the court that the judge lacked jurisdiction on my case, as the city had not agreed to be sued. U.S. law is based on English law, which contained the principal "the king can do no wrong." This was referred to in U.S. law as sovereign immunity from standing trial. In 1969, the Texas Legislature passed the Texas Tort Claims Act, listing 36 activities of cities considered governmental -- "those imposed on cities by the state" -- and established liability limits in those cases.
It listed three "proprietary" functions -- "those that a city may perform at its discretion." In practice, anything not included in the 36 was considered "proprietary," and the law provides in these cases "the city is liable to the same extent as a private entity or individual." In my opinion, entering into an agreement with adjacent cities to build an arts center was clearly a "propriety" function, and the city was liable.
My lawsuit was based on that information and opinion. However (not uncovered in my prior research), the Texas Supreme Court changed their interpretation of the law in the late 1990s and ruled that before you could bring suit against a Texas city, you "must first obtain their agreement to be sued for the act." Hello? Can anyone even imagine a king agreeing to be sued? Or a Texas city?
Unfortunately, that ruling is legal precedence, and the judge must follow it. I was forced to request my case be dismissed.
So: the king can do no wrong in Frisco, Texas, and I can only hope that the voters of the city remember this fact in future elections.

" I work twice a week in Allen and McKinney and I've been noticing the American Flags on poles outside of businesses and schools. I would say around 90% of the flags are torn, and in some cases just being held up by the first eyelet of the flag. I feel like we ought to have a article in the paper, where you post a picture of the establishment, plus I feel there should be a fine for flying a flag that is a disgrace to our country.
What is sad that most of the Lovejoy schools have very bad looking flags.
I'm a Navy veteran and it makes me mad, that our flag is being treated this way. "

KaseyYou perpetually mix racism up with what some call....Tue Jul 10, 2012 05:56188.8.131.52religionism....but in the case where Islam is involved it is far more than that....Ideology [ism]. Thus your comparisons are erroneous. Would you have said the same to anyone who protested about the way the Nazis treated the Jews before WW2? There were many Hitler lovers around then. My perspectives come only from an anti-ideological point of view which is anti- totalitarian in all its forms. It is only the Islamic hierachy and the so-called scholars who can make the changes needed for its adjustment to the modern democratic secular world where a strict division must be preserved between church et al and State for the democratic world to be successful. Forget red-herring stuff and stay with the reality of what is happening in most Western nations around the world. This reality needs positive confrontation or in the long term, cruel catastrophies will result.

Published March 1, 1998.
Here is how to solve the twin problems of unevenly cooked chicken and heavy, greasy rice.
The problem with most of the recipes we tested was that they resulted in dry breast meat and heavy, greasy rice.
Chicken and rice make for a complete and pretty-easy-to-make one-dish supper. We wanted to develop a recipe that would give us a dish that was moist, flavorful, and clean tasting as well as easy to make.
The problem of overcooked breast meat was easy to solve. We simply added it to the pot about 15 minutes after the legs went in. Solving the problem of heavy, greasy rice was a little more vexing. We finally solved it by reducing the amount of liquid (a combination of white wine and water) added to the rice. Although we tried (and liked) basmati rice, we settled for long grain rice as being most appropriate for this wholesome, satisfying dish.

This was terribly difficult to snap together. It took three of us and a vise. We'll never take it apart to use the carrying case. It really is meant for younger children than advertised. The picture was of the Super Aqua Land, not what we got.

The sport has been on the wane for many years in the United States island commonwealth that has produced such Hall of Famers as Roberto Clemente, Orlando Cepeda and Roberto Alomar.
You wouldn't know it by the way the Puerto Ricans have performed in the World Baseball Classic, though.
Chicago White Sox right fielder Alex Rios hit a two-run home run, and career minor-leaguer Mario Santiago pitched 4 1/3 outstanding innings before leaving with an arm injury as Puerto Rico ended Japan's reign as WBC champions with a 3-1 victory Sunday night at AT&T Park.
Puerto Rico advances to Tuesday's championship game. The Dominican Republic and the Netherlands meet Monday night in the other semifinal.
Japan will not win the WBC for the first time. The Japanese captured the inaugural event in 2006 and successfully defended their title in 2009.
There were just 11 Puerto Rico natives on Opening Day rosters in the major leagues last season. The nation's winter league has long been plagued by poor attendance, and there has been talk about it potentially folding.
Puerto Rico made it out of the first round of the WBC for the first time before advancing all the way to the title game. Manager Edwin Rodriguez is hoping that will spark interest in baseball among youths on the island.
"Obviously we're thinking about winning everything, but we mainly talked when we first got together about going out there and playing the right way, because everybody was watching in Puerto Rico," Rodriguez said before the game. "The last 10 or 15 years, Puerto Rican baseball had been a little bit down. I think that a good performance from the team in this tournament will put Puerto Rican baseball back on the map. And I think we already accomplished that."
And if Puerto Rico had not accomplished that before Sunday night, then it certainly did after stunning Japan.

'If you want to go to college," my mother said, "you'll have to get a scholarship."
Luckily, I did. I was admitted to George Washington University, which generously awarded me a grant covering the full cost of my tuition. To the best of my recollection, that sum was $2,400 in 1975, the year I entered GW. To pay for my other expenses there were several forms of need-based financial aid, and I received what is now called a Pell Grant and a subsidized work-study job on campus.
Again, you leave out facts. What about the fact that government support for public higher ed over the same time period has dropped significantly? What about the "formula" used at the state level to divvy up the tuition dollars to the various state institutions, keeping in mind that tuition is only a very small percentage of the actual cost of going to college?
Jeff just what are you saying? You received help from your government to get a solid education. The President improved those payouts by cutting out the bank middle man. He has also taken universities to task and has urged them to cut costs. However what should be cut? Teachers, researchers, administrators? Since you went to college more students are attending so inflation will not explain everything. Further new information and more opened opportunities exist than in 1975. The extreme right puts blinders on when it comes to recognizing the world has progressed. To take advantage of those new discoverys is more costly. Without doubt some efficiencies are needed but one must be careful about slashing away at an economic engine both within itself and also outside its campases. Maybe if Jeff stopped opening the Heritage Foundation's emails or mail he would look around a little more and note that the 1970s have passed by.
I rarely agree with Jacoby, but here he's spot on. The simple point is that the cost of college may be so much higher than its intrinsic value that it begins to look like a world of over-priced houses, fueled by not the need for shelter but the need to fulfill a well-accepted dream. The American dream is to own a home, picket fence and all, and send your kids to college. We know what happened to the first part of the dream. A college education will be of economic benefit to those few who can do something special with it, who stand out in some way. It works for those few studying the hard sciences and engineering. It works for the students at the most selective colleges, in large part because it gives them access to a network of successful people. But it doesn't do much for the majority of college grads. Forget for a minute the 50% (80% in Boston's community collges)who enter but don't graduate. Of those who do persevere, studies show that as much as 40% of them cannot find work that uses their degree or pays them enough of a premium to cover the costs of that degree. The top half of earners who didn't go to college makes more than the bottom half of earners who did. Fewer than 30% of Americans have historically earned a bachelors degree. The vast majority of the remaining 70% have somehow found their way, attaining in the main and perhaps to their chagrine the first part of the American dream with relative ease.
Absolute baloney. According to U.S. News, the average lifetime earnings based on how much education one has are: High School - $1.3 Million; Some College: $1.55 Million; Bachelors - 2.27 Million; Masters - 2.67 Million; PHD - 3.25 Million; Professional Degree - 3.67 Million. / / / Even if you assume the value of earning a degree is just the economic benefit, which is a very foolish assumption, it still makes tremendous sense to get as much education as you can.
Here's an idea... How about mandating that colleges spend 20% or their endowment annually on tuition reduction. Check out this list of the largest endowments... (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colleges_and_universities_in_the_United_States_by_endowment) Take Harvard for example... Endowment size $31B. Incoming freshmen class 1700 (est). Tuition, fees, room and board $57,000. Total cost of tuition for all incoming freshmen, $94M. As a percentage of its endowment, .3%.
How about mandating that all corporations and those earning more than a million a year pay their fair share of taxes so we can buy down the national debt? The fact is, and I know this well from personal experience, anyone paying full tuition at one of the schools on your list can well afford it. The majority of students pay far less than the official sticker price as a result of grants funded by the endowment.
Why don't we have Corporations and millionaires pay every penny they earn in taxes and when it covers the government's spending for 15 days, you can come up with a solution for the other 350 days. And while we're at it why don't we have the 50% of the population that doesn't pay a penny in income tax chip in some money too.
this bubble will burst, another trillion dollars the tax payers will be on the hook for, great. The more government intervenes, the higher college costs go. We never learn, the housing bubble is a good indication of the result of government intervention.
You know the sad part of this mess Jeff, it just doesn't matter anymore, it's very discourging to watch what's happening in our country, my new motto, If you can't beat em, join em. It's not about country anymore, our attitude now is what can country do for me, our downfall continues.
I feel very sorry for you, perhaps nearly as sorry as you obviously feel for yourself. I'd suggest you seek to develop both a sense of perspective and a sense of humor. If necessary seek help. This nation, and indeed all humanity, have faced far, far more dire circustances than our present conditions, and have always survived, and in some cases even triumphed, but those triumphs were never lead or even enjoyed, by those surrendered to dispair.
Jeff overlooks the one basic fact regarding the cost of college. That is the commercializing of everything in this nation that was once based upon the idea of "calling". When I was young educators educated as it was their calling. Doctors doctored as it was what they were called to do. Universities received large endowments in the belief that higher education led to a better nation, a better civilization. Now what is the driving force behind higher education. Profits. Enerything is for sale. Education, health heck we even sell water. The concept that a man does something purely for the sake of doing it is now some quaint thought from the past. Educating the populace is no longer a societal goal it is a profit goal. A non-profit university such a quaint idea. Folks such as youself Jeff, I've got to give you credit. You have indeed made human beings a commodity, a resource, a way to make buck.
When I started to read Jeff's column, I eagerly awaiting the paragraph in which it had to be government's fault. You know, everything bad in the world is government's fault. I mean if only government would go away, all things would become better. Even the Lindberg baby would come back. Keep on writing to formula, Jeff. I'm pretty sure the government can't stop you.
Jeff is, of course, correct once again. The primary cause of the inflation in school costs has been all the money thrown at it in various forms. The question no knows the answer to, is what will the bursting bubble look like? People willl always have to go to college, but at some point, the cost will exceed reasonable demand. I do not know the answer.
The bursting bubble will more likely be a slowly deflating bubble. It will be seen by things like the scaling back of costly perks (the fancy dining halls and dorms, for example), a move to more students attending community college or technical school and a complete failure of the for-profit colleges that do nothing more than take money from students and from the government.
Jeff - Sad but true. People look for a return on investment when paying tuition. Unfortunately does not have the jobs to make that return. To make matters worse of the fewer jobs available most require a college degree if not more. By not attending college we will continue to see erosion of the middle class. The only jobs available to people without a degree will be low paying service jobs.
It is ironic that in today's Globe there is another article stating that the US has fewer people going to college on a per capita basis than most developed countries. This does not bode well for us as a country
I'm not sure what you're advocating for or against. Perhaps you're just sending a word of caution. Regardless, there is overwhelming and irrefutable data to support the significant economic benefits of obtaining a college degree. Just in terms of salary, the "College Premium" -- the wage differential between college graduates and high school graduates — is significant and continues to widen. Thirty years ago, college graduates made 40 percent more than high school graduates, but now the gap is about 83 percent. This goes for virtually any job in the labor chain -- from a cashier to a CEO. I would also point out that recent research proves that jobs which required a bachelor's degree have advanced by over 2 million since the recession began. Those jobs that required only some college or an associate's degree declined by 1.8 million. At the same time over 5.8 million jobs for those with high school or less have been completely lost since the recession began. Yes, college may be an economic burden, but if you choose wisely, education may prove to be an economic boon.
True. According to U.S. News, the average lifetime earnings based on how much education one has are: High School - $1.3 Million; Some College: $1.55 Million; Bachelors - 2.27 Million; Masters - 2.67 Million; PHD - 3.25 Million; Professional Degree - 3.67 Million. / / / Even if you assume the value of earning a degree is just the economic benefit, which is a very foolish assumption, it still makes tremendous sense to get as much education as you can.
Some of the problem is lying with statistics. For a long time, folks with advanced education were much the minority. They made more money than folks without a high school or college degree, but what else do we know about them. I bet they were more ambitious, more resourceful, perhaps richer, better connected politically, came from successful families, perhaps healthier. So was it the advanced degree that provided the income, or other factors? So which came first and which is the real driving force? Look at the success of folks who have dropped out of Harvard. They had a lot going for them without the degree. So now we require degrees for all sorts of jobs and we pay more for those jobs, so it all becomes a self fullfilling situation.
$2400 tuition in 1975 at GW. What was the corresponding average salary/benefits package then for your professors compared to 2012? Might that be one large piece of the puzzle for skyrocketing costs?

There are only two great "Cost Plus" industries left in our country: 1. College 2. Professional Sports Teacher/Player salaries go up since there are relatively no market forces in play with teachers' and players' unions (+free agents). Tuition and ticket prices necessarily increase as costs to colleges and team owners escalate. Medicine of course was the last cost plus industry to fall to a combination of regulations and "rights", and we see where that's all headed. Beware BU and Bosox, there really is a pricing point out there!
This is a well-balanced piece. On the one hand, the money we are talking for a college degree is truly mind-boggling and outrageous. On the other, it's more important than ever to have a strong education. (the unemployment rate for colledg grads in in the 4% range, much lower than national average). What scares me is that everyone will hunker down and only study subjects with large and measurable payoffs. My background is in English, computer science, and business. The business and CS background certainly help pay the bills, but the English background is the one I value most.
We can blame a good part of today's tuition prices on students and their parents. Their criteria for choosing a school are based more on living accommodations, $multi-million student unions, gourmet dining and $multi-kazillion athletic facilities than on simply getting a good education. Look at Southern New Hampshire University's bare-bones Nashua campus where tuition and fees are still less than $12K/year. No athletic complex, no gourmet dining, no fancy student union--just a good education. This model works. When students decide that they can forgo the amenities in order to receive an affordable education a big part of the financial problem will be solved.
Agreed that costs can't keep increasing at a rate faster than income. I disagree that this means that fewer people should be getting degrees. Does anyone think fewer people should be getting high school degrees? If anything, the need for education is growing and growing. I have heard that to some extent, the price that has been rising so much is the "sticker" price and this is done by schools to 1) signal that what they have is valuable and 2) give them more latitute to charge different rates to students based on their ability to pay. I'm not sure to what extent this erases the gains in cost over inflation over the years. But obviously the costs can't continue to increase forever. Education in the US , in my opinion (both college and before), is a field that is ripe for disruption. The music industry, the newspapers, books etc have all been turned on their heads because of technology, why shouldn't education be next? Some top universities are leading this charge themselves: www.coursera.org. If government giving students money only contributes to the skyrocketing costs of education, perhaps government should offer a money prize (similar to space X prize) to a company that can produce the best teaching and accreditation resource at a reasonable cost. I think it will all happen eventually, just hope it all gets here before my two kids reach college age.
Maybe if the kids didn't have gorgeous new dorms and state of the art dining commons and other "really cool" amenities some of the costs would come down. Yes, facilities do need to be maintained, and re-built when necessary, but you look around at some of these campuses you think, um...was all this REALLY necessary??
You're wrong, Jeff. In our bifrucated economy, a university education provides a path to the "knowledge worker" tier, and away from the lower"service worker" tier. However, is it worth $300,000.00 - $400,000.00 (taxes included)? No.
Once you get beyond the Ivy League schools, and maybe the next top 10, all the rest deliver pretty much the same value. The course of study one selects makes a HUGE difference, as does co-operative education experience.
A university education is definitely worth the investment, but one must calculate the return-on-investment first to determine its worth.
When I graduated with my 4-year civil engineering undergraduate degree in 1976, my all in cost for my senior year, including tuition, room and board, was $3,650. And my starting salary was $10,600. I thought at the time that was a great deal! Same school today is greater than $50,000/yr., and starting salaries are less than that!
Back in the 1970's, my professors had to take jobs in their respective fields to make ends meet, they were unable to pay their bills on their teacher's salary alone. My how times have changed....now "professors" teach 2 or 3 classes a week, maybe, and spend most of their time "doing research", whatever that means?....and are paid as much as $120,000 and up for what amounts to part-time work at best.
This bubble is already bursting.....the fallout should result in many colleges closing their doors and going out of business. Serves them right for being the greedy pigs that they have become! Shame on them for putting so many families into deep debt.....Correction....Shame on those same families for buying into the thinking that junior can go to any school he/she wants, even if we and they can't afford it. If you and your sons and daughters are now stuck with massive student loans, it serves you right.....you should have shopped for college the same way you shop for anything else.....wait.....maybe you did.....you also probably can't afford the house you live in, or the car you drive!
Don't blame the high cost of a college diploma solely on the college....they deserve plenty of the finger pointing for sure, but if suck-up parents who give their kids anything they want had been any good at math, they would have placed the affordability of a college education at the top of the list, then worked down from there. And if Mom and Dad can only afford to send their kids to a school that costs less than $10,000/yr., so be it....and act accordingly!!!! Can hardly wait to see how these same lame parents "survive" their retirement some day......stay tuned...........

Another example of the goverment getting involved and screwing everything up. The government thought everyone needed a college education, so the federal government made loan money readily available. Kids scooped up the money and colleges inflated their tuitions!! The same happened with the housing bubble. The government (Barney and friends) thought everyone needed to buy a home. Home mortgages were available to everyone and now people can't pay them. Many liberals now think the government has to do more when government involvement was the problem in the first place.
Everyone does need a college education, though not all can afford, benefit from, or even want one. / / / College is about far more than just getting a job, it's about expanding horizons, thinking critically, and developing effective communication skills. Perhaps with a better educated electorate our political landscape wouldn't be the simplistic, left vs. right, conservative vs. liberal shouting match its been reduced to, but would instead be a nuanced dialogue between creative minds seeking reasonable solutions to the complex issues that face our nation.
More should be done to rein in costs of college, but I would like some evidence that colleges cynically raised their rates to "soak up" the available government funds. Did the amazingly effective GI Bill post WW II have a similar effect? Any data to support your assertion, or are your running on correlation = causation here?
Meanwhile have a look at these quotes:
Two excerpts from today's (TODAY'S JEFF!) US News and World Report:
"…86 percent of college grads found college worth the cost."
"….a lifetime of work, the typical college graduate earns $650,000 more than the typical high school graduate. The study also found that college graduates have more stable employment, so that's a benefit, too."
It appears that improved lifetime income and job quality translate into other dimensions of life, this from the Wall Street Journal: "Across the board, college-educated people had lower divorce rates than people with less education."

That's just it-- if you asked me if my college and graduate degrees were "worth it" I would not know how to answer. If you just look at the numbers of what I make vs. what my parents spent and my monthly loan payments, the answer is clearly no. However, my career requires an edcuation, not only on paper but in function. I wouldn't be happy in a career that didn't require some level of academic-type knowledge. Secondly, I just love learning. Yes, there are students who go to college and just want the degree and do the bare minimum to get it, but a lot of people are just academic types. I didn't go to a great high school, and when I did go to a great college, I could not have been more excited more of the time just by the stuff I was learning in class. Most of that stuff doesn't relate directly to my career, but I am a better person for knowing it. In addition, college just opened me up to a world of people I wouldn't have otherwise met and learned from. We can't just live in bubbles only having knowledge that directly relates to how we get paid. Some people would prefer to live like this and for them I say, you should not HAVE to go to college to support yourself. But for the people who think college will be "worth it" even though the money doesn't line up, they have to be able to afford it, and they have to make enough money after college to make the loan payments.
I agree that college is not for everyone and shouldn't be. If you have no interest in academics, you should be able to earn a living without going to college (you may need other training of course, but I'm talking about 4-year, academically focused college). However, college is more than just an investment for the kids who really want higher education and/or want to enter a field/profession that actually does require knowledge of arts and sciences. There's been a lot of media attention recently about the high cost of college and student's resulting debt, and very rightly so, but too much focus is on the idea of college as an "investment." There are many, many kids out there who know they want to be teachers or scientists or non-profit lawyers, and they know that their salaries will not align with the cost of their education, but they shouldn't be disuaded from getting that education and being the best teachers, scientists, and non-profit lawyers they can be. There are a lot of kids who will end up in a more vocational field when it comes to making a living--heck, there are a lot of people who will become stay at home parents--but that doesn't make their education worthless. Very few people's undergratuate education relates directly to a profession and if you say that it's not worth it for all those people to go to college, you're going to have a very uneducated society. The cost of college is too high--everyone can agree on that and something clearly has to be done to bring costs down. But I think we also need to think more about the relative wages in our economy and how much the most educated are paid relative to what they spent on school (not only in money, but also in effort, intelligence, performance, etc). Everyone knows there's currently a large wage premium paid for attending college vs. not attending college, but I am willing to bet that premium shrinks if you look grades earned, academic level of the school, additional graduate degrees, etc.

WASHINGTON -- President Obama will deliver the first State of the Union address of his second term tonight at 6 p.m. PST / 9 p.m. EST, looking to set into motion his agenda for the next four years.
Urging Republicans and Democrats to work together to resolve the nation's ills, Obama will call on the nation to "reignite the true engine of America's economic growth – a rising, thriving middle class."
Additionally, Obama will lay out a number of proposals "that are fully paid for," pledging that nothing he outlines will increase the deficit "by a single dime," according to excerpts released by the White House.
QUIZ: How much do you know about the State of the Union?
One specific part of Obama's speech, his declaration that U.S. troop numbers in Afghanistan will be halved over the next year, has already been leaked to the news media. But many other specifics about the speech remain undisclosed, including what Obama will say about climate change, gay rights and proposals to change voting procedures to eliminate long lines at the polls.
Obama worked with new chief White House speechwriter Cody Keenan on the speech. His longtime speechwriter, Jon Favreau, is leaving the administration.
Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida will lead the Republican Party's response to Obama, in a speech delivered in English and Spanish. According to excerpts released by Rubio's office, he will call for Obama to "abandon his obsession with raising taxes" and warn that, if the parties do not work together, "we will forever be known as the generation responsible for America's decline."

SVA Film prepares you to be an independent filmmaker with the most hands-on BFA program in New York City.
- You don't just study films; you make them – all four years.
- Your mentors are working professionals using state of the art equipment and technology
- Your fellow filmmakers are an international creative community who work together to help each other realize their goals.
Independence is the key word in filmmaking. It means having a personal vision. It means having choices in your career – whether that's working for a company or being on your own – or both. It means being able to do what you love for life.
As an SVA undergrad, you can specialize in Directing, Screenwriting, Cinematography, Editing or Sound. You can create a body of work that rivals most graduate schools. Our immersive program has many special features designed to educate you better and faster – like courses which are taught in collaboration by writers and directors, and an integrated curriculum which means you develop work in writing classes, fine-tune it with professional actors in directing, prepare and shoot it in production, and edit in post-production.
While you get a solid start in your specialty, you also gain knowledge in all aspects of filmmaking. The essential experience of SVA Film is collaborative and your teachers and classmates quickly become your partners in creativity. All of our faculty do what they teach –actively contending in today's high tech media marketplace. The relationships you form with your mentors now mean you are already connected to the film industry. When our teachers need to fill a slot on the set or in the studio – who better than the people they have trained themselves? Our students intern at the top production and post-production companies, among others, and are often working before they graduate.
Because your education isn't just academic but hands-on right from the beginning, you learn early what you love and what you're good at. You share your skills working on your classmates' films. Bonds are formed during the intense days and nights of shooting that not only contribute to fine work during school but to career opportunities after graduation.
Film and Television are New York's fastest growing industries -- a $5 billion business that employs over 100,000 workers. Five commercial studios have committed to the new development at the Brooklyn Navy Yards alone – adding an estimated 2,000 jobs in the next year. * The reason for this explosive growth is the talent pool – New York is the place to find the right people with right skills. SVA has long contributed to the city's artistic resources.
SVA is the country's largest independent art school which gives you many advantages as a budding filmmaker. You're in an atmosphere with a rich tradition of innovation and originality. You're surrounded by the best image-makers in media. You're part of the art and idea capital of the world.
At SVA Film and Animation, "independent" is not just a trendy pre-fix for "filmmaker. " It's the creative DNA that makes SVA artists different. We're not just about getting a job, but having a life. A life in which you can keep making the work you love.

David Wheatley, "'and cannot say /and cannot say": Richard Price, Randolph Healy and the Dialogue of the Deaf', paper given at The Way It Had To Be Said... Language, Translation, Experimentation, Symposium of the AHRC Irish-Scottish Poetry Project, Queen's University Belfast, 22nd Nov. 2007,
Fiona Wilson, "For Your Information: Getting the News from Painted, spoken", International Journal of Scottish Literature, 2 (Spring/Summer 2007)
"Lucky Day by Richard Price is a felicitous gathering of Richard Price's unusual, poignant and funny poetry, which has been appearing in chapbooks, magazines and beautiful small-press volumes for more than a decade. They are clear, witty, intelligent, versatile and often highly moving; superb examples of a hardearned surface simplicity conveying oceanic depths of feeling and thought." (Robert Potts, The Guardian)
"The play of these poems is moving and yet linguistically challenging. The sense of innocent nursery rhyme and the hard-ended reality of the situation create a unique poetry - even a new modernism. Price has given late modernism an injection of humanity it has long required." (John Kinsella, The Manhattan Review, on Lucky Day)
"Price was one of the so-called Informationists. Their agenda, broadly, involved reclaiming the various specialist lexicons and syntaxes - scientific, commercial, political and technological - and finding metaphor under mere data. In Price's case this is often achieved by juxtaposition with 'traditional' verse forms, such as lullabies, nursery rhymes and songs, in a manner reminiscent of the late Veronica Forrest-Thomson. For example, one sub-section of the book is entitled 'Marks and Sparks': the nickmame of a high street store is transformed into a meditation on the thrills and bruises of love. This may sound academic, but consider the height of this collection, the 'Hand Held' sequence. Confessional poetry can be slightly manipulative; however, these poems are not splurges of unedited emotion, but honed and sophisticated objects. They range from the brutally frank ('People will not love you / when we are dead') to hard-won epiphanies ('whatever your clear eyes are meaning / you mean it brightly'). Those who think contemporary poetry is a parlour-game for pseuds ought to read this astonishingly moving, filigree-fine book." (S. B. Kelly, The Sunday Herald, on Lucky Day)

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
I have recently jumped into dying disc. I have done it before but without the serious vinyl cutting process. I now have been using an exacto on "bumper sticker vinyl" to achieve the dyes. This is very simple for a 2 tone disc or a 3 color disc if black is one and disc counts as another. I have always seen really sick dyes that are very detailed...one that comes to mind is the deathstar with the x-wing in front of it. (it's on this site somewhere) I am wondering how you achieve those multicolored ones...do you cut multiple sheets(assuming that it's too time consuming) or do you precut everything then peel off accordingly...if that's the manner do you cover spots that have already been dyed with a make shift patch???

The psiCHECK™-1 Vector and psiCHECK™-2 Vector provide a quantitative and rapid approach to optimize RNA interference (RNAi). The vectors enable monitoring of changes in expression of a target gene fused to the reporter gene. In both vectors, Renilla luciferase is used as a primary reporter gene, and the gene of interest can be cloned into the multiple cloning region located downstream of the Renilla translational stop codon. Initiation of the RNAi process towards a gene of interest results in cleavage and subsequent degradation of fusion mRNA. Measurement of decreased Renilla luciferase activity is a convenient indicator of RNAi effect.

Rock memorabilia going on auction block
Bob Harris admits he doesn't have a musical bone in his body but his timing sure was right.
Now 82, the former publicist, producer and publisher spent the good part of his life with the biggest singers and bands from Motown's heyday to the British invasion, punk scene and beyond. Harris played host to hundreds of legends of the entertainment world as they visited Detroit on their tours, including the first U.S. concert dates for The Rolling Stones.
As the founder of a magazine called "The Teen News," Harris got to take some photos of England's newest hit makers before they went on stage at Cobo Hall, Detroit, in 1964.
"The magazine went in schools besides nightclubs and music stores so I asked them to put out their cigarettes," Harris said. "They said OK but Jagger lit up. He put it out and the next one lit up. He put it out and then another one lit up. They made a joke out of it."
Harris ended up cropping out the rock stars from the waist down for his magazine. The original photograph, which the band members signed 25 years later at the Townsend Hotel, Birmingham, is going on the auction block Friday with hundreds of other personal photos and publicity stills he collected over the decades.
"I hate parting with them but what is the sense of storing it all in boxes?" the Southgate resident asked.
The auction of Harris' rock memorabilia will be handled by DuMouchelle Art Galleries, Detroit. Office manager Nanette Poole expects online bidders from England to go after autographed pieces from the Rolling Stones, The Temptations, Bob Hope, Jerry Lewis, Debbie Reynolds and others.
"He got George Burns' autograph after a show and asked him, 'Can I have your cigar?' Mr. Burns asked, 'Are you kidding? I just lit it.' But he gave it to him. Bob was very tenacious," Poole said.
Harris said he was fortunate to find ways to make a living in the entertainment industry during a "great era." He talked to The Jackson Five while they waited to perform on "The Scene" with Nat Morris. He held Chastity Bono while interviewing Sonny and Cher when they were in makeup. He had dinner with James Brown at The Ponchatrain. He sold a drum kit to Peter Noone before a Herman's Hermits show when he worked at a music store. He heard Frank Sinatra croon to a crowd at Grand Circus Park from a fire escape at The Adams Theater, where he played to a sold-out crowd.
For a time, Harris managed bands and live shows at The Globe Theater on Grand River at Trumbull, Detroit. He also produced shows for Tina Turner, Mitch Ryder and Ted Nugent. And, he worked at places like The Michigan Palace, Olympia, Cobo Hall and shows at the Michigan State Fair. Continued...
He became the go-to-guy for the Detroit Tigers one day when the club needed someone to sing the national Anthem.
"He made calls and found Johnny Mathis performing in Windsor," Poole said. "He was able to make the gig.
That sparked a friendship with Ernie Harwell, who would interview the singers Harris lined up for Tigers games.
"He has so many fun stories about everyone he rubbed elbows with," Poole said, adding she thinks The Rolling Stones photo signed by Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and Charlie Watts will fetch thousands. "But there's no doubt Bob's stories are worth so much more."

Week 11 SEC Players of the Week
By: Josh Rultenberg
Updated: November 12, 2012
- Johnny Manziel, QB, Texas A&M: Manziel generated 345 total yards to lead Texas A&M to a 29-24 win over then-No. 1 Alabama. He completed 24 of 31 passes for 253 yards and two touchdowns, while adding 92 rushing yards on 18 carries. With the game, Manziel became the second freshman in NCAA FBS history to rush for 1,000 yards and pass for 2,000 yards in a single season (Brad Smith, Missouri, 2002). Manziel did not have a turnover against an Alabama team that was fourth in the nation in turnover margin.
- D.J. Swearinger, S, South Carolina: Swearinger totaled a career-best 13 tackles (10 solos), including one for a loss, and added an interception and quarterback pressure in South Carolina's 38-20 win over Arkansas. He returned the interception 69 yards for a touchdown to put Carolina ahead 31-10.
- Craig Loston, S, LSU: Loston had six total tackles and returned an interception 100 yards for a touchdown in LSU's 37-17 win over Mississippi State. Loston's interception return, which tied an LSU, SEC and NCAA record for longest, gave Tigers the final margin.
- Andrew Baggett, K, Missouri: Baggett's 35-yard field goal in the fourth overtime gave Missouri a 51-48 win over Tennessee. It was Baggett's first-ever attempt at a game-winning field goal in his career. He also hit 6-of-6 PAT tries against the Vols.
- Loucheiz Purifoy, CB, Florida: Purifoy blocked a punt with two seconds left against Louisiana-Lafayette that led to a touchdown and a 27-20 Florida victory. Purifoy's block was returned by Jelani Jenkins 36 yards for the game-winning score. He had five tackles and a pass deflection against ULL. The blocked punt was the second of the year for Purifoy.
- David Andrews, C, Georgia: Andrews graded out at 88 percent after registering six "dominator" blocks and three knockdowns during Georgia's 38-0 win at Auburn. He anchored an offensive line that allowed quarterback Aaron Murray to be sacked only once as the Bulldogs racked up 497 total yards on offense, including a pair of 100-yard rushers.
- Walker May, DE, Vanderbilt: May set career highs with six solo tackles, with three for losses, in Vanderbilt's 27-26 comeback win at Ole Miss. May also had a 14-yard quarterback sack and a quarterback pressure against the Rebels.
