text:
On Tuesday morning, as metro Atlanta voters hurled an $8 million sales tax campaign into the trash, Gov. Nathan Deal held what aides called his first session with top transportation officials to discuss Plan B.
What voters dismissed was a bottom-up list of $8 billion in road and rail projects created by local elected leaders. (Read the main AJC piece on the TSPLOST vote here.)
The Plan B that staggered out of the governor's office will be its polar opposite: Dramatically smaller, paid for with shrinking funds, and highly centralized. Projects will be hand-picked by a governor who intends to squeeze every penny available.
And no matter what others might say today, don't look for a sequel to the TSPLOST referendum. A second vote has no place in the governor's Plan B.
Instead, Chris Riley, the governor's chief of staff, said traffic planners in regions across the state will be quickly asked to resubmit lists of road and rail proposals that require state and federal funding – figuring in an 8 percent decrease in federal funding. The governor has veto power over each list.
Riley said that Deal intends to use that authority to direct cash to absolutely essential projects in metro Atlanta and elsewhere. "The state's top transportation priority is the Ga. 400 and I-285 interchange," Riley said. But metro Atlanta residents could also find themselves enduring pot holes and worse for the sake of better roads around the Port of Savannah, he added.
That's another priority.
The governor's top aide said Deal had been hesitant to speak of alternatives before TSPLOST balloting ended. "We didn't want anyone to think that it would fail. But you can't be a governor and not look at both options," Riley said.
The governor is likely to express his disappointment today over the outcome of Tuesday's vote. Certainly he will focus on the price of austerity, as chosen by voters. "Will we be able to compete in the global market with Plan B? Yes. Will every company look at us? No," said Brian Robinson, Deal's director of communications.
But in a way, defeat clears the way for Deal to assume full responsibility for the mess that is Georgia's system of planning and paying for moving goods and people. The TSPLOST referendum, with its awkward system of roundtables to settle on project lists and a vote conducted in the heat of a GOP primary, was the handiwork of Gov. Sonny Perdue.
But, however liberated he may feel, Deal has few options. The most direct route – asking a Republican-led Legislature for a tax increase, whether on gasoline or anything else, is off the table. Some opponents of the TSPLOST, including Senate Majority Leader Chip Rogers of Woodstock, have said they'll push for a second TSPLOST referendum with a more road-friendly list.
But that would require a Legislature willing to debate it, a business community willing to pony up millions for another campaign, and Republican leadership in suburban Atlanta that will speak up for when the time for voting comes. Let's ask Tim Lee, the chairman of the Cobb County Commission, how that worked out for him.
Any attempt at a second vote will move without the governor's backing. "We haven't given any thought of presenting it to the General Assembly," Riley said.
That leaves the big decisions on what will be built, and with what funds, largely in the hands of the governor, the state Department of Transportation, and planning agencies like the Atlanta Regional Commission. But mostly in the hands of the governor.
"The governor will not move forward without the consent GDOT," Riley said – very carefully. Deal will court approval from the DOT board, but he intends to keep the initiative. The governor recently appointed a trusted aide, Toby Carr, as the DOT's planning director, giving him another layer of control over what transportation projects are funded.
So the Atlanta Regional Commission will soon have to clear its wish lists with the governor. ARC Chairman Tad Leithead said he'll be happy to do so. "I think the entire state would welcome anything the governor does to keep transportation moving," he said.

Plan B? Wait, I was told there would be no Plan B. It was TSPLOST or nothing. We were lied to AGAIN?
July 31st, 2012
11:29 pm
So it appears that, in rejecting T-SPLOST, lovers of local control everywhere (small-government types) have concentrated the power to make these decisions in the hands of one man. Hope they're happy.
July 31st, 2012
11:30 pm
Well, it all depends. There's not going to be anything as big and far-reaching as TSPLOST, but there's no way they weren't going to try to make some significant improvements to the state's transportation infrastructure.
July 31st, 2012
11:31 pm
Reading between the lines, it appears that Deal is poised to crown himself the czar of transportation in the state, and I am sensing some intended retribution for having his suitcases full of cash evaporate before his eyes.
And quite frankly, if for no other reason than the fact that the polling for TSPLOST has been solidly against this boondoggle for the past several weeks, it does not show much in the way of leadership on his part for not having his fallback plan in place before tonight.
And to arbitrarily declare that revenue enhancements such as raising the gas tax are "off the table" is ludicrous and hypocritical.
Do the folks who work in the gold dome actually believe that manure covered in whipped cream is any less odorous than manure served straight up?
July 31st, 2012
11:32 pm
Not sure I'd want pretty much full responsibility for Georgia's traffic mess. If he's able to make significant improvements, he'll be a hero, but if things stay the same or get worse, he'll likely be radioactive.

I didn't exactly like the TSPLOST project list but I was hoping and praying that it would pass as there is absolutely no way that our state legislature will make the necessary tax increase needed to improve our transportation infrastructure.
Any hope of future mass transit solutions to alleviate the congestion on 285/75/85 has gone the way of the Northern Arc as well. The genius politicians like Chip Rogers will claim the vote represented a rejection of mass transit.
Sadly this just means that Atlanta will continue to watch as any transportation funds raised through gas taxes will be funneled out of the metro area to fund a new bypass through (insert S. Georgia city) and its powerful Republican in the state legislature.
July 31st, 2012
11:43 pm
TSPLOST was badly needed here in Coastal Georgia and was heavy in much-needed improvements. And it got spanked. There's no way it's coming back for a vote again. The anti-tax wave swamped the need to build roads to ease congestion and open access for the economy.
July 31st, 2012
11:43 pm
"Some opponents of the TSPLOST, including Senate Majority Leader Chip Rogers of Woodstock, have said they'll push for a second TSPLOST referendum with a more road-friendly list."
Ah yes, more of the same M.O. for the past four decades: enrich the road lobby while screwing MARTA, that'll fix our transportation woes…
July 31st, 2012
11:45 pm
TSPLOST hasn't failed in every region of the state. Atlanta and north Georgia should soon have the opportunity to cry in its wet-diapers while Savannah and the Coastal Empire play host to a new era of economic development and sustainable growth.
The NAACP, Sierra Club, and the Tea Party have done more to set-back Atlanta and metro north Georgia than Sherman's campaign against a few steel tracks.

Let's say that all those at the state level arguing FOR TSPLOST actually got off their butts and did something about transit in Atlanta and the extended region around Atlanta.
Sorry, as much as it pains me, I don't see it happening. I HOPE it happens. I HOPE this governor has the foresight to drive successful transit for the State Capital that prepares for the next 50 years. I HOPE the state legislature does their job and not slop their responsibility on others and then say "you should have done it!"
But alas, this is Georgia. . . and it will be scared politicians behaving like scared politicians with no vision. Lord, I hope I'm proved wrong, but I really do hope the State can get their act together.

Various studies have shown that a parking tax in the City of Atlanta would raise more money that TSPLOST. And all of that money could go to projects in the city without involving the state at all. Almost every other city the size of Atlanta has a parking tax but we're so addicted to making things as cheap as possible for driving everywhere that we won't even consider the possibility.

@iconoclast..yes TSPLOST did fail in all 12 regions. It's dead as disco. If the government sees a dire need to spend more on roads then they must take that money from elsewhere in the budget. We are too heavily taxed as -is.government must now pick and choose what to spend on, not simply choose all of the above and raise taxes.

"Wow, Deal's gonna actually try and do his job and uphold his fiduciary responsibility to the citizens of Georgia? What a pain it must be for him…"
No, Deal is going to make sure that all the palm-greasing is confined to his corrupt little hands.
It's like that game show with Howie Mandel a few years ago, "Deal or No Deal" (dontcha just LOVE the irony there?).
The million dollar briefcase was just taken out, but there are still big cases to be won.
Deal's initiative selection will be carefully crafted to produce the most votes. Atlanta is SOOOOO screwed when it comes to fixing potholes.

Now they can get a back bone and deal with the fuel tax, I will support that, but I think Mr. Deal will have a bulls eye on hinm come next election, Sen Johny Grant is gone, we have worked hard to this end. Let this be a lesson to those that would try to place an odious tax on us.
August 1st, 2012
12:15 am
Friends Georgians Voters, Lend me your ears!! Yes a bit corny, but it worked once!
Well I have done my best to help defeat this TAX increase, I have worked hard these past 5 weeks, now we wait, and hope the rain does not cut the NO voter turnout.
Tomorrow there will be more political battles to fight, maybe you younger folks, seeing what the state has tried to pull over it's citizens, will take, any organizations and contacts you may have formed in the TSPLSOT fight, on to new battles.
Wherever we see wrong doing, by our elected officials, we must act and speak out.
I would suggest that we now carry the fight to those officials that tried to burden us with this odious TAX. Lets rally together, and work to replace these senators and Reps. Only by seeing one of their kind fall, to an opponent, in the next election, will they REALLY TRULY get the message!!!
After 67 years I have become a bit jaded with politics, the amount of money floating about, to buy and sell our politicians, is amazing and discouraging. The last honest politician I can be sure about, is Harry Truman, who, on his return home, had to borrow money to buy back the family farm an get by, until he could write and sell his papers.
I think the biggest mistake we have made in the recent past, is to go to computer ballots.
We also need to return to the very easy to use, OPTICAL SCANNER. With that, you had a paper record and it was quick voting, If you did not mind anyone seeing, you could use any flat surface to write on and cast your ballot.
Oh well,, I guess I can dream can't I.

"Reap what you sew. Good luck getting new business."
You don't think a sales tax rate of 9.5% was going to be discouraging to some businesses?

Sonny was going to rein in the DOT board too. They chewed up Gena Evans and spit her back out. SRTA was split off and Gena was given full autonomy with toll money and toll road construction out of spite. Yeah that worked out real well.

I figured out why the Real Deal has taken such a strong interest in Savannah, and appointed his Gainesville junk car inspector partner to the port authority. Looks like a repeat of the previous eight years for Georgia's citizens.
"Atlanta is a hub for many of the large trading companies that send chickens on their international journey. The Port of Savannah boasts the busiest poultry-export operation in the country, moving about 40 percent of all U.S. containerized exports of poultry. It handled 1.6 billion pounds of poultry during the fiscal year that ended June 30, moving more than 67,000 20-foot containers."

War on Women. Damn wrong Period!! damn wrong
EDUCATION. Gambling will not fix this problem.
Lack of ETHICS. Made progress need super tough penilities for violators…make it hurt bad.
Just a few…
How do we make this happen. ????? Just a few Ideas.
Class action lawsuit by the citizens involved in the affective areas against the state of GA.
(there is a lawyer amongst us). Or all the citizens of GA vs the GA government.
I like this one " Vote all of those responsible OUT of office. and run Natie out on a rail)".

If the people want a hole of a city, I hope the business leaders see this and start moving all of the HQ's out of Ga and on up to Charlotte, etc. then all of the new Cotrices and small minds will shrink into the hole that they have dug. I am actually glad this happened so that the real face of the south will be seen by potential employers/ investors. Guaranteed losses for the region. Now just need to walk away from this house here and help you dig your graves.

If history is a guide, it is only logical that funding for education will again be reduced to pay for road improvements. Any time the state wants more money, they reduce education funding. Then he will get his road improvements, but education will again take a back seat. Got to feed your transportation buddies first, ya know. Bunch of stupid bubbas.

Years of funds spent on things other than the reason they were approved has come home to roost. Thanks Sonny. Now we know that pig over the gold dome in your first campaign ad was really you. The future we'll loose due to your corruption and mismanagement will give us plenty of time to "go fish".

This sequel to 'Divine by Mistake' continues the adventures of Shannon Parker, originally sucked from her schoolteacher life in Oklahoma into an alternate fantasy reality in which she is betrothed to a real-life centaur and revered as a goddess incarnate. Just as she is settling into and growing to love her new home and hunky husband, Shannon is uprooted once again and deposited into her old world to fix the trouble caused by her "double," a not-so-nice mirror image of herself who caused all this world-switching in the first place. Enlisting Shannon's help is her husband's double, who is just as handsome as he is. While the story is fun, the author's ultra-casual writing style can be extremely irritating.

Apple plants the seeds of a rebound
The new iOS upgrades are a step forward again. And even its bad times are better than most companies' good ones.
Shares of Apple have tumbled more than 17% this year even as the broader market has rallied. The stock has underperformed rivals such as Google (GOOG), which has jumped nearly 25%. Even Facebook (FB), for all its post-IPO woes with investors, has slumped far less, by about 9%.
Apple's sell-off, however, is overblown.
The company's problems are well known, such as the surging popularity of Google's Android operating system. Market researcher comScore pegs Android as the top smartphone platform with 52% market share as of April versus Apple's 39.2% share.
When recently asked about Android, Apple CEO Tim Cook insisted he didn't "have his head in the sand." Then he made an argument familiar to Apple watchers: His company is more interested in quality not quantity. Apple's new overhaul of its key mobile operating system, unveiled on Monday, shows that it's backing up its words with deeds.
Thanks to the improvements in iOS 7, which will be available in the fall, Apple should regain some lost ground. For one thing, moving between open apps will be easier, and the iPhone home page and calendar will be spiffed up. As The Journal noted: "The iPhone will be pretty again."
Unfortunately, Apple may not get much of an edge from the new iTunes Radio app, which has underwhelmed critics.
Despite its many challenges, one thing's for sure: Apple's stock is too cheap to ignore. The current price-to-earnings multiple of 10.48 is at a five-year low, according to Reuters. And Wall Street thinks the stock has room to run. The average 52-week price target is $541.04, about 22% higher than where it currently trades.
Apple on a bad day is still a better investment than most companies having a good day. The time to buy the stock is now.
Have any questions about this or any other "Killer Companies" episode, or suggestions for companies to cover? Submit them in the comments section below.
Jonathan Berr does not own shares of the listed stocks. Follow him on Twitter @jdberr.
I think there are enough people watching Apple and wishing for the profitable good old days to give Aplle one more push higher. I think this will happen mostly on wishful thinking. People are waiting for the one new thing, anything. However, I think longer term Apple has nothing, no moot, no barriers to entry, and really nothing innovative. It will tweek stuff, but nothing really new. This is a mature company and will have to fight to stay in the game, not fight to stay on top.
Disagree? Tell me what will keep Apple on top? Phones are a commodity, now what.
So, given that there are a lot of Apple Groupies out there who I believe are willing to pile in on any good news from Apple, buy a bit and take one more short ride. Once people see that the next "good news" item is just a little bump up, Apple will take its place as a cash cow investment. Now if it cures cancer or creates and invisible phone or something, then I take it all back.
People who ignore the parallels between the rise and fall of the Macintosh PC and the smartphone/tablet market will lose lots of money. Steve Jobs is not around to rescue Apple again. Apple is finished.

What, you think JaVale McGee is going to just throw down a normal, ho-hum alley-oop? Don't be silly. Only our man JaVale could rise above the rim, get his arm hooked while trying to slam the ball home, and then still somehow get the ball to go through the hoop without ever actually getting his hand on the rim. »

joyously completing my Tikkuun Olam. B'H for the opportunity to repent in public for choosing the wrong word when accusing my dad of incest. I did suffer humiliating abuse from my dad, but there was no sexual intercourse or genital manipulation. I like so many people read the "Courage to Heal" and misinterpreted the words within it to mean that because I had no clear memories and only a vague feeling of possibility, that my feelings were fact enough.
On Oprah Monday
I think you're amazing, Roseanne. :) I just wanted to say that. In the back of my mind.. I hope one day, to meet you but I know that most likely won't become reality! but I can still think about it! LOL When is your new show going to be on?
the whole experience was terrifying on many levels.
As a survivor of child abuse when your beaten and scared out of your witz,does it matter what word is used to descibe your assailant. Am I better off because my father only beat me threw me up against walls literally kicked my ass and told me how ashamed he was of me starting at the age of 1 and my mother let him,but he never sexually assaulted me.
From a letter written to me by; John Cooper a scientist and the author of two books on
plastics written years ago as he is ninety-eight, " I believe firmly that although our physical body,
which is the space suit needed for our existence on planet Earth, may be no more, the spiritual
element of us continues to exist." I like the term you phrased: altering the magic.

Rosanne if you read this note could you please tell me what lipstick you wore on Oprah it is so pretty. You look fab and I am so happy you love life in Hawaii
I just hope you forgive your self because I can amagine the pain knowing the hurt it caused your parents But you where not well and I really think Tom arnold was behind aklot of it he was a sick puppy you where just having a fase and he fed into it used it played you for it and thought it would bring greater fame.If iM wrong im sorry.But Rosie look what became of you I mean if I where you i wouwld look at myself and say look what blessing being me has brought me.The fact you found it a universe where many just cant seem to excaPE there hell.Just like myself i have a great since of humor but because by nature im very serous when i get around it then it comes out infact I wrote a few scits and I think i have them on my old computer floppies I think you would find them funny one was when i was insterups and geting a sisosocpy wher they stick a tube in your wee but iut was funny ill try and find it as every one enjoys a good laugh.Rosie im not trying to flatter you but I have great insight and I feel you have a luving kind spirt a great ora and you had mancic ilness i have that too and often we even missundrstand ourselfs.Your peace is here I think the dispare is all behind you hopefully this new guy is after nothing but companionship and a nice life.I know you need to be luved or you would have given up by now so dam dont settle for nothing else.Iv been used alot in my life when all I wanted was to be luved & cared for and each time was a learning that we wont settle for abuse no more.hehhe lol take care for now,Richard..
i'd just like to add something to your thoughts Roseanne.
Most people in our society, would love to have fame and fortune, and there's nothing wrong for wanting success as measured by our culture today.
Not many of us think about what it's like to have to expose your most personal issues as a human being—with the whole world…..
and you do, have to. The media loves dirty laundry. I think it must be unbearable to know that the media (speaker box to the world) waits for you to do something or say something "unbecoming"…… (like a jealous sister who blurts out secrets)
and then your life, children's lives and anyone who becomes close to you, is subject to whimsical critical review that the public feels the right to weigh in on, smacking of Roman style "colosseum entertainment."
I think it was "Saintly" to admit anything "publicly" that is personal to your heart, especially when it comes to the all and powerful subject of sex…
and sex really is at the forefront and background of our reality…….
Bravo Roseanne.
it's in my book–
It seems there's some confusion about you recanting the incest. If you feel it wasn't incest, it would be helpful to a lot of people who were sexually abused, what made you change your mind, and explain what your father did to/with you?
When I watched the Oprah taping with Roseanne, the part about the abuse with her father, and not knowing what to call it, and people taking things like this never happen or that. I know how that feels, I know growing up having thoughts, and memories of abuse, and not knowing what to call it, you know this happen the thoughts are there, and it is not a mental thing, and people need to stop calling it that. Call it abuse for what it is. I know that dark place and felt like I was alone and they can be many people around you. But Roseanne I want to thank you for you being you, and bringing realness all the way everyday. You bless my heart..
you inspire me.
you inspire me.
I had been with out a computer for a while so I had no clue you had a book out. I saw the ad last week you where going to be on Oprah and I could hardly wait. I went to read reviews on your book tonight and figured out you had a blog so I went searching. I want you to know that I think you have so much talent and I love that you are so vocal with your true feelings. Your sho meant so much to me growing up. It was so much closer to real life than all the fairy tale shows that tried to make us beleive that was the way it was. yOu delt with so many issues that I needed help dealing with myself. As soon as I can afford it I willbe buying your book. I hadto chime in on your review because some idot pissed me off sorry about that. BUt I will post an honest review as soon as I read it. HUGS
I'm not a fan of professing my love for stars or strangers, but I do absolutely adore you and send you nothing but love and warm thoughts. I thoroughly enjoyed the interview on Oprah – but more importantly, finally had a moment of peace for myself. Upon hearing you describe the misuse of the word incest, I felt relief. Relief that someone can recover, forgive, be forgiven, and move into a place that you so eloquently described as contentment. My own experience of humiliation, degradation, physical abuse, was inaccurately described by me too. For years I wondered, would I be that type of parent? Would I be punished for misunderstanding and for not clarifying? So much so, I waited until late in life to become parent. You give me hope that I will find contentment too. I am just now realizing that each person remembers the past differently, and my parents will never agree with me about situations, but the lesson is that I don't 'need' them to agree – I just needed to be heard and I needed to be fair about it. Which sounds crazy – but I think if you lived it, it would make sense.
Thank You …Thank You for always being so honest, for always being willing to take off the bandages and show the wounds. Thank you for always living in the moment and being brave – Thank you-
Excellent interview. Refreshing, as always. I wonder if the sentiment you're getting at, and the word you're looking for, is "violated"? I haven't read your book (yet), but this what I sensed when you mentioned the relationship with your father and said that "incest" isn't the right word. Being violated on any level (your trust, your body, your spirit) is damaging to a child.
Loved your appearance on Oprah today and I am so happy for you and your family. The farm looks like a great beginning to every morning of life. Really want to say it was very inspiring to hear you say and repeat " I lived through it" there are so many people I'm sure you touched with that testimony. And for me that's exactly what it was…no matter what we go through, the highs & lows we can all make it. Can't wait to read the book, keep inspiring us all through the love & truth you have to offer the world. Peace & Blessings
Happy Valentine's Day Everyone……
Well I just watched Oprah and You look simply terrific….the show was great….wow you have been through a lot. Happy farming…..Rudi
Regarding the Star Spangled Banner; I find much, MUCH that is hypocritical in most Americans when this song is played; talking, no hand over the heart, looking away from the flag, taking sips of their beer, asking the hot dog vendor for another hot dog, etc., Although it is a anthem….we take too seriously things in this country that are often self imposed.
Anger should be reserved for more important things like war, treatment of women and children in this country and abroad, unsafe drinking water, filthy air, and taxes. I often think many Americans are typically the sheep the government wants them to be; worrying about the small stuff while the much bigger picture not seen due to the small stuff has the greatest effect on our freedoms, our ability to support our children, keep our homes, etc.,
I found Roseanne's version a welcome much needed comical diversion and nothing more. Thank you for the laughter……

I just wanted to say that I saw you on Oprah today and I just love you! I went through a really hard time a couple of years ago with an anxiety breakdown… worst thing I think I've been through in my life. I found comfort and calmness by watching "Roseanne". I have the dvd collections and I would watch them for hours just to feel calm and relaxed. So thank you for being my savior at a time I needed it most.
Oh, Roseanne, I have missed you!! It was wonderful to see you on Oprah. And, you look wonderful lady. You look content and happy. Your life partner seems to be a wonderful gentle spirit, I am so happy for you.
I applaud you for your strength and fighting for yourself. It takes a very brave person to admit wrong doing and mistakes. I hope that you believe what we all say and I hope that you can see you through our eyes. Much love to you and your family!!
Watching Oprah, OMG! Too damn funny!
Can't wait to watch it after work tonight. Your honesty vulnerability, and openness are so rare. And admired. Mahalo.
Watching you on Oprah….i think you are a great person love your honest personality .. And you look great !!
I just finished watching you on Oprah and I have to say it was wonderful. When you spoke about your father I could see the love while fighting back the tears. I think you did a wonderful job explianing that while he was not a perfect man he was your father and you still respect and love him. I believe that when we die we gain complete and total understanding of all things with no ego left to cloud anything. I am sure he is watching you with pride and all the knowlege of why things happened the way they did. Bravo!!!
Im hoping for a rematch for your arm wrestling for charity with Oprah, Roseanne lol.
I think you may be a little hard in yourself. I volunteer at my local center against sexual assault and I believe that anything that makes you uncomfortable falls into that catagory. As women we all know when someone is looking at us in a sexual way and that is not okay. I clearly have no idea about what went on in your family. I just wanted to say that nobody can help how they feel and if they are feeling uncomfortable they should not ignore it. In fact we have to trust those feelings as instinct to keep us from danger. Feelings can turn to fact in the blink of an eye.
I won't miss this!!!
february 14, 2011 . The always-outrageous Roseanne Barr is back! Fame, marriage, sex and a new life partner. Then, at home on her nut farm. Plus, John Goodman and the entire Roseanne TV family.
TUNE in on FEBRUARY 14, 2011 to watch the show!

Applied Program
Santa Monica College
Taught by the Music Department's highly qualified faculty from the Southern California area, this program will help students to transfer to most four-year music programs at the 3rd-year level. The Applied Music Program offers its students private instruction in any acoustic instrument, voice, composition or other applied discipline in which the student is qualified. Qualifications are determined by audition at the end of each semester (Fall and Spring). Once in the program, Applied Music students will be required each semester to enroll in Music 92(Applied Lessons), Music 94(Concert Music Class), an SMC performance ensemble, a Piano Class (60A, 60B, 60C, 60D, 61A and 61B), and the appropriate theory and musicianship classes (Music 1,2,3,4,6,7 and 8). All required music classes are to be taken at SMC and not at another outside institution. Applied students will also be required to spend at least five hours per week practicing on campus.
If you are seriously considering a major in music, here is the opportunity to develop those skills at the Community College tuition rates and then finish your music degree at a four-year institution. Additionally, each applied music student who successfully transfers as a music major to a 4-year institution within one year of completing at least one semester in the applied program, receives a cash scholarship/achievement reward of $250 for each semester that they participated in the program. Those students already in possession of a Bachelor's Degree in Music are not eligible. Additionally, the applied program is not for students who plan to transfer directly into a graduate music program.
Santa Monica College is ranked the #1 transfer institution to the University of California, California State University, the University of Southern California, and Loyola Marymount University as well as many other four-year schools, universities, and music conservatories.
Qualified students will be permitted to take Applied Music for credit during the Fall and Spring semesters at Santa Monica College and are expected to make a commitment to all four semesters in the program. Auditions to qualify will take place at the end of the Fall and Spring semesters (the application deadline and audition date are listed at the bottom of this page).
Each applicant will submit an application form and a clearly marked audio CD or DVD of their recent performances of the repertoire that they plan to perform at the audition. Composers should submit two contrasting scores and an audio CD of each composition. Applicants must have the signature of their current private music instructor or their SMC performance class instructor (voice class, piano class, guitar class, etc.). The full-time faculty will then review all applications and supporting materials and a select group will be invited to audition in person.
All applicants who pass the Pre-Audition Screening will then be assigned an audition appointment time that may not be rescheduled if the student misses their assigned time. Depending on the performance specialty, an accompanist is preferred (to be supplied by the applicant). Applicants who require an accompanist may also arrange in advance to use the designated Music Department Staff Accompanist in the event that they cannot arrange for an outside accompanist. There is a $25 fee for using the SMC Staff Accompanist that includes a ten-minute rehearsal and the ten-minute audition. Each audition appointment will be scheduled for ten minutes but may be shorter at the discretion of the Audition Panel.
Below are the audition repertoire requirements for each general applied area:
Classical Instrumentalists should perform at least two selections of contrasting style or from different historical periods. Memorization is not required but is encouraged.
Classical Vocalists should sing two selections from the Classical repertoire including one in a foreign language. Both selections must be performed from memory.
Classical Pianists should perform one piece by Bach, Mozart or Beethoven and one piece from another contrasting historical period. All selections must be performed from memory.
Composers should present two contrasting compositions in either a live performance or on a CD recording. They should also submit at least three copies of the full score for each work (no lead sheets or MIDI files, please).
Jazz Instrumentalists should perform one Classical composition and a jazz ballad, up-tempo jazz standard, or blues. Memorization is not required but is encouraged.
Jazz Vocalists should perform one Classical song and a jazz ballad or up-tempo jazz standard. All selections must be performed from memory.
Jazz Pianists should perform one Classical composition and a jazz ballad, up-tempo jazz standard, or blues. All selections must be performed from memory.
ALL APPLICANTS MUST HAVE THE SIGNATURE OF THEIR CURRENT PRIVATE MUSIC INSTRUCTOR OR THEIR SMC PERFORMANCE CLASS INSTRUCTOR (Voice class, Piano class, Guitar class, etc.).

Lady Antebellum has recorded a cover of Kenny Loggins ' "Celebrate Me Home" for ABC's Home for the Holidays campaign honoring military veterans this holiday season. Five U.S. veterans with hopes of breaking into the entertainment field have written, directed and produced short films debuting Monday on ABC.com. Writers, directors and producers with top ABC shows like Grey's Anatomy and Nashville worked alongside the veterans to make the clips.
Lady A's Dave Haywood tells ABC News Radio, "It allows these veterans to get back and have a job working and be able to network and kinda get back to work, so it's a whole other level of saying thank you as opposed to just saying thanks."
Each short film revolves around a veteran coming home for the holiday season, and that theme hits close to home for Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott . Her best friend's husband serves in the Navy, and he recently came home to surprise his wife and their son for the boy's first birthday.
Hillary says, "She texted me the video of when he walked through the front door of their house, and they had no clue. And I just started bawling. It's just the most pure joy moment that you capture when you see that, especially when they're surprising them. It's amazing."
Contributing a song to Home for the Holidays was a no-brainer for Lady A since they meet so many servicemen and women at their concerts. The veterans often tell the band members their music helped make serving so far from home a little more bearable.
Lady Antebellum's Charles Kelley says, "I think that's the coolest thing, just thinking that there may be a song out there that's getting somebody through a tough time, or a song that maybe fires 'em up and, you know, kind of brightens their day."
Look for ABC's Home for the Holidays campaign to be featured across the entire network's news and entertainment programming this holiday season.

MTSU To Grow Ginseng At University's Farm
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (AP) - Middle Tennessee State University is launching an initiative to grow ginseng at the school's experiential learning and research center in Lascassas.
MTSU and state officials plan to officially announce the initiative on Wednesday at the center, also known as the MTSU farm.
Growing the ginseng will be a collaboration involving the Tennessee Center for Botanical Medicine Research, the School of Agribusiness and Agriscience and MTSU Farm Laboratories.
The botanical research center at MTSU and the Guangxi Botanical Garden of Medicinal Plants in China are partners in a collaborative effort that seeks to accelerate the development of Western medicines from plant extracts.
Ginseng is used as a natural supplement or over-the-counter remedy to stimulate the immune system. Its primary users are people with colds or flu and cancer patients.

Wal-Mart Stores warned Friday that cuts in the nation's food stamps program late last year will hurt its bottom line.
The cut in food stamps went into effect Nov. 1. Food stamps had been increased during the height of the recession, but that expansion expired without Congressional action.
The expiration of the program saved the government $5 billion.
And more cuts in food stamp funding could be on the way. A bipartisan deal on a new farm bill reached earlier this week could trim $90 a month in benefits for 850,000 food stamp recipients.
The nation's largest retailer also said bad weather was affecting its financial performance.
Shares of Wal-Mart fell in premarket trading on the warning.

Employment projections for major industries, 2008-18
January 04, 2010
Service-providing sectors are projected to generate almost all of the employment gain from 2008 to 2018.
Two of these sectors—professional and business services and health care and social assistance services—are expected to generate 8.2 million jobs over the period, more than half the increase in total employment. Projected employment growth in the leisure and hospitality sector and in the State and local government sector will contribute an additional 2.7 million jobs by 2018.
Employment declines are projected in only one service-providing sector—utilities—where employment is expected to decline by 59,000 jobs over the period.
Within the goods-producing sectors, the only sector projected to show employment growth over the projection period is construction, which is expected to add 1.3 million jobs and reach 8.6 million by 2018.
The job gains in the construction sector will be almost entirely offset by the projected 1.2-million decline in manufacturing employment during the 2008–18 period. The manufacturing sector's seemingly large employment loss still represents a contrast to what was experienced during the previous decade when the sector lost 4.1 million jobs. Employment in mining is projected to decline 103,800 from its 2008 level.
These projections are from the Employment Projections program. To learn more, see "Industry output and employment projections to 2018 (PDF)," by Rose A. Woods, Monthly Labor Review, November 2009.

Good Wednesday morning!
We're starting off with a mix of mostly cloudy skies and a few light isolated showers out the door. Temperatures cool in the mid 30s.
We won't see much change through the lunch hour with possible showers continuing in the mix.
Later this afternoon we'll reach daytime highs in the upper 50s with mostly cloudy conditions. Isolated showers not out of the question and mild seasonal temps.
We'll continue our stretch of warmer weather the next few days with better chances of rain late in the work week.

This map tells us about the minimum level of education and specialized training teachers are required to complete to teach at the primary education level.
More information:
- The minimum level of education is that which national policy requires teachers to have completed in order to instruct students at the primary level. We also show whether they are required to have completed some specialized teacher training (which can vary in length and type of training across countries).
- When a country requires three years of post-secondary education, we consider this to be equivalent to a bachelor's degree for the purpose of comparability across countries.
- If no information was available on whether specialized teacher training is required, the country appears in the map according to the level of education required, e.g. secondary education, bachelor's degree, or Master's degree.
- Bachelor's with training includes a bachelor of education or a general bachelor's degree with additional teacher training.

Fire up the Grill and Bring on the Cocktails!
You want to start by setting an atmosphere that will wow your guests. Create a playlist with some of your favorite summer tunes; nothing like a little Bob Marley or Jimmy Buffett to put you in the summertime mood! Use bursts of playful colors in a palette of lime green, honeydew, sunflower gold and watermelon pink to add fun to any backyard tabletop. For a finishing touch, scatter fresh flowers for a cool summer's night feel.
When it comes to serving food, make your barbecue family-style. Platters of lamb burgers, tuna burgers, cucumber salad with fresh mint, grilled fruit skewers and s'mores coffee and fudge ice cream cake will give your guests a break from the traditional menu of burgers and dogs.
Great drinks always inspire a fun party atmosphere. While you enjoy a refreshing Watermelon Vodka Cooler, the kids can sip on Sassy Pink Lemonade:
Watermelon Vodka Cooler
Serves 6
5 pounds seedless watermelon (about 1/2 medium-size watermelon)
16 ounces lemonade, homemade or high quality
12 ounces vodka
Watermelon balls for garnish
Cut the watermelon flesh into chunks. Working in batches, puree in a blender until liquefied. Strain through a fine sieve to remove the pulp. (You should end up with about 4 cups of juice.)
Combine the watermelon juice, lemonade and alcohol in a two-quart pitcher. Pour into tall, ice-filled glasses and garnish with a melon ball. Without the alcohol, this makes a great children's drink, too!
Sassy Pink Lemonade2 cups sugar
9 cups water
2 cups lemon juice
1 cup cranberry juice
Mix everything in a pitcher and stir until dissolved. Serve over ice.

Radiant Historia is just $16.21 at Amazon right now.
You don't often see this Chrono Trigger-esque DS RPG priced so cheap — copies were pretty expensive until Atlus printed another run earlier this year.
Buy: Radiant Historia

I've heard almost nothing but good things about Radiant Historia — except in regards to its availability. Luckily, Atlus announced this weekend that it's undertaking a second print run, to be released in "late March."
The company specifically identifies Amazon, Amazon.ca, and EBGames.ca as stores that will carry the new stock. Said new stock, by the way, will not include the soundtrack CD bundled with the first printing.

Leading up to Black Friday, Amazon is running a series of game deals, like its "4 Star Games Under $20" sale that includes 159 DS, PSP, Wii, Xbox 360, PS3, and PC titles.
On the DS side, you can get quality releases like Radiant Historia, Chrono Trigger DS, and Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor for $19.99.The under-appreciated Monster Tale is also super cheap at $13.99.
[Update: Argh, it looks like everyone bought all the copies of Radiant Historia, so that particular game is no longer part of the sale — it may re-appear later, though.]

Atlus' time-travelling RPG Radiant Historia, a DS game I haven't seen discounted much (which I'm presuming is due to another one of the publisher's infamous limited print runs), is the Amazon deal of the day today, priced at $24.50. If you can find something else to throw in that order, shipping is free! No soundtrack CD, though.

Atlus sent out some Radiant Historia screens featuring royal boasting, moving orders, and, as you can see above, pants theft. You may have already heard about the time travel feature in this RPG, but maybe you didn't know about those other new features! Like the one in which your avatar demands clothes. Check out the rest after the break.
If you're piqued by these images, or already way into Radiant Historia fandom, check out this week's 1UP Active Time Babble podcast, in which Atlus's Aram Jabbari drops science about the game, and even talks a little about that weird period when Atlus localized every DS game in the world, including Steal Princess and My World, My Way.
Radiant Historia "Time-Traveling Walkthrough" trailer. This video is perfect for anyone who hasn't been keeping a very close eye on Atlus's upcoming DS game — not that I know anyone like that, being a well-informed professional journalist and all. Being able to jump back and forth along (explicitly laid-out) timelines looks really damn cool!
Radiant Historia will be released February 22, and will come with a free bonus soundtrack CD, because it's an Atlus game, and free CDs are in Atlus's nature, just like it's in my nature to definitely already know everything about Radiant Historia. Like the enemy grid system. That's just one of the things I had already heard of before ten minutes ago.

"I'm gonna run. I'm gonna run so far away. I'm gonna run all night and day!" This appeared in a batch of new screenshots Atlus sent over for its RPG Radiant Historia.
Atlus: "Hey, do you like Flock of Seagulls?"
Tiny Cartridge: "I can see you do!"
OF course, this corny joke/reference flies over the head of anyone who hasn't listened to "I Ran" or watched The Wedding Singer. I highly suggest experiencing both! In fact, you should jump over to Youtube right now and listen to "Space Age Love Song" (a mix CD classic!) and "Wishing (If I had a Photograph of You" while you're at it.
Preorder: Radiant Historia (Feb 22), Flock of Seagulls

English trailer for Radiant Historia, coming to the U.S. on February 22. Thanks, Atlus! Now about 7th Dragon…
The steampunkish RPG's primary draws include Chrono Trigger-style time traveling that allows you to significantly change future events and endings, a tactical combat system in which character/enemy positions and your manipulation of them is key, and music composed by Yoko Shimomura (Kingdom Hearts, Parasite Eve).
Related to that last point, it's no big surprise, but Atlus will throw in a free music CD featuring unique piano arrangements with each launch copy of Radiant Historia.

The administration of Governor Deval Patrick, embarrassed by revelations that the state highway safety director has a driving record that includes seven accidents, four speeding violations, and two failures to stop for a police officer, announced today that the director will be removed from that job.
Sheila Burgess, the top safety officer since 2007, is on medical leave recovering from an Aug. 24 one-car accident in Milton in which she drove off the road and suffered a head injury. She told police she swerved to avoid an oncoming vehicle in her lane.

Monica's Teeny-Tiny Student Studio
House Tour
Name: Monica, Graduate Student at the University of Michigan, Mildred the dog
Location: Ann Arbor, Michigan
Size: 350 square feet studio
Years lived in: 6 months, rented
Graduate students often don't have the time to make their temporary rental a home. With limited budgets, no free time and the scramble to settle into a new city, there's usually little room for nesting in their schedules. I was quite drawn to Monica's teeny-tiny studio, measuring in at just around 350 square feet. It has the efficiency and neatness that one needs to study and focus, but this home is more than your average grad student pad — Monica's place has a cozy sense of warmth.
Monica's sweet dog, Mildred was more than happy to show me around her place on that snowy Ann Arbor afternoon when I stopped by. Even though her space is tiny, Monica still has plenty of room to host friends and colleagues, making this studio more than just a place to crash and study, it's a place to call home.
Apartment Therapy Survey:
Inspiration: Decorative vardos.
Favorite Element: I really like my kitchen table/counter, which is actually a beautiful teak writing desk. The drawers are useful for storing small kitchen items and it has wings that slide out on the sides for added "counter" space.
Biggest Challenge: When I first stepped into the space I was overwhelmed by the pink tint in the wall paint. Repainting walls in rented units is always a hassle so I looked into temporary wall paper. It turns out that stuff's pretty expensive, so I went with a cheap alternative - fabric, from the clearance bins. I pinned frayed panels of it over most of my sort-of pink walls. The brilliant thing about this option is the ease of switching up colors, textures and patterns at your whim.
What Friends Say: Everyone initially reacts to how cozy it is and find it to be a pretty relaxing and inviting space to cook, study or gab. They also think Mildred's pretty cute.
Biggest Embarrassment: One of the first times I had people over for dinner, I discovered just before serving that I had only one fork. I just never expected people to want to hang out in a space this small, so I wasn't prepared.
Proudest DIY: Limited cupboard space in the kitchen meant getting creative with hooks. I really like the rack of hooks I hang my mugs on.
Biggest Indulgence: The kitchen table/writing table.
Best Advice: Small spaces are great for transitional times in your life because they require little investment. Maximize these spaces with low profile furniture, hooks and mirrors and think creatively about repurposing furniture and other fixtures that follow you from home to home.
Thanks, Monica!

A lot of potential here. I really don't understand the logic behind all the random pieces of fabric.
Mildred reminds me of the dog I had growing up. So sweet.
I've always appreciated the look of interesting textiles hung on walls (yes, early 70's grad student here). That said, I'm curious about the black square around the pan above the stove, and even more curious about "decorative vardos" as her inspiration. When Googled, it seems vardos are Gypsy (Roman) wagons, & also a band.
The apt. appears functional, well kept, and has a cool little dog!
some people on here are such snobs. This is a forum for sharing ideas not just showcasing homes that real people dont live in. I think your space is adorable and cozy. I love the fabric idea. Seems like a very cozy place to study.
Right on Jene!
I love the use of fabric as a way to bring color into a room where you cannot paint. I always wondered why the idea is not used more often. I love the look. Great job.
@MissCynthiaBell In the 'Biggest Challenge' section she mentions having pink tinted walls. She states fabric was a cheap alternative to painting and wallpaper. It provided an affordable way to get different colors/textures without the permanence.
@Jen E Agreed.
So cute and cozy, and looks functional. Nice sweet potatoes.
Love the look and great ideas for a small space. Very comfortable and cozy. I bet your friends love to hang out there.
I like the way the coffee mugs are hanging - looks nice!
Fantastic idea with the fabric. Really out of the box creativity.
As a fellow graduate student, I had to click on this one! I am lucky enough to have a house, but I'm about to leave my house for a year to live in about a 215 square foot place abroad. Since it's only for a year, I don't want to invest too much in the decor (my "real" house is full of stuff already)- so I am thinking the fabric would be a nice way to go :)
Also, I have a dog who's half lhasa, half shih tzu who looks a lot like your dog :) Only mine is less calm when strangers are in the house.
Yep, this is what my apartment sort of looked like in college. Kudos to making it work so well.
Cute place! We rent, too. You have to make the best of what you're given...we're stuck with weird textured walls..no fix for that!
My favorite spot is the "check yourself before you grab your keys and go". That fab little table with the mini LeCreuset (?), the sweet key rack, and the mirror over. That spot is perfection!! Also your cool poof in the living room...not to be outdone by the bug eyed fish magnets. I need those! :)
I had a big version of Mildred, but lost her ten years ago to cancer. She was the best dog ever.
Your place reminds me of the first apartment I ever rented by myself, in San Francisco. It was tiny and cozy. I remember it fondly. I like your tent effect with the hanging fabrics.
This brings me back to the good ole' days. You have such a great space. Thanks for sharing.
I LOVE your writing desk/kitchen table!!! As someone who had a very hard time finding a unique table that served as a kitchen table/desk/counter space, AND looked cool (for a small space), WELL DONE!!!
I have the same amount of space here in Los Angeles and with a murphy bed, I really have no reason to move. It's all the space I really need. That said, it's not a space a family could find happiness but for a single writer gal such as myself, it's perfect. It's also in a courtyard setting where, because we're all jammed in with the same square footage, there's a lot of "got a cup a sugar" friendliness here. And that's not a euphemism.
Looking at these photos made me feel really happy - like some very nice times have been had in this place!
Love what you've done, this should inspire lots of students and other small space dwellers.
Really nice use of space, nice use of colors and textures in the space. Good choices for such a highly function intensive space. Apparently some people don't get the jist of small space living. Cool pad Monica! All the best in school!
I live in Ann Arbor too! It is so hard to find a halfway decent apartment in this city and near campus. I must have looked at 40-50 places before I found one... And that was a year ahead of the actual lease date for a space less than 500 sq ft. I appreciate what you've done to your space just based on that alone! People wouldn't think AA would have such a competitive market, but it's rough - yet the city is totally worth it. Go blue!
It looks like a good place. Have you considered getting rid of the brown rug in the bahroom and putting in another color. I think brown is just wrong in a bathroom. otherwise the bathroom is nice.
Definitely feels cozy and comfortable. The kitchen table is lovely. Love Mildred!
@vernhippensteal: time to get glasses?
That fabric idea is very neat, so much that one can do with it... I need to figure out how to ensure the fabric stays put on the brick wall (in my country), specially if its mirror work rich or something.
I quite liked the elegance of that other TV ? table too. And the rug.
Such a warm and inviting place!
ps- a pat for mistah dog.
I would've found a different way to work with the pink walls - navy and white/cream perhaps. I'd have bought a bed frame that had storage underneath, and then it could also be high enough for comfortable seating for guests, if needs be.
Who doesn't know they only own one fork??
I love your mug display. I never thought to hang my computer headphones on the way. I need to do that instead of tossing mine on the desk.
What kind of breed is your dog? I REALLY REALLY want to know! :)
You'll remember your grad student years all your life, and a lot of the memories will be in this cozy, homey place, making you a very lucky person! (Any readers who "don't get it" probably haven't been to grad school.)
I love the things you've done, so I don't know how to break this to you, but ANY apartment you live in would be cozy with Mildred in it. I love her. What kid of, dog is she, please?
Very cute, like the use of fabrics. Reminds me of my first apartment.
Love the fabric...and the snob comment earlier. I am going to steal a couple of your ideasfor my new apartment....good luck in school.
Oh and I love Mildred~~such a cutie!
Love the use of hooks. I have three times the space, and I use hooks as much as possible. This tour shows that a little creativity can go a long way. This tiny space is neat, and orderly, without looking stark and sterile. Kudos.
@Nonie, fabric adds texture, warmth, and coziness. When I lived in grad student housing, we were not allowed to even paint our leased apartments. My roommate hung a large painting her bf made, but unless one has connections this is not always an easy option. Fabric is easy to pack and transport for a move, which is an inevitability for any grad student.
It looks like a home, and it reflects personality. I'd recommend folding down the duvet cover and adding a colorful throw to the end, because in a small apt the bed is what everyone sees. It would add to the elements already in place, like the fabric on the walls. The kitchen is lovely.
I think your cute dog left you a 'present' on the brown rug! Otherwise I love your home.
Seriously. I love seeing things that are on a budget, personalized, and didn't involve buying tons of new shit that all matches. I want to see more of this kind of thing and less of the stuff that belongs in the magazines that only show professionally decorated rich-people spaces.
I don't understand buying fabrics to hide or distract from pink tint walls. what landlord refuses to let someone paint the place white? Crazy landlord. Other than mattress on floor, it's a very very nice space with loads of potential. Looks very comfy and the dog is adorable.
Just looked at the kitchen again, which is adorable. If your landlord says painting is too much of a hassle for him, why not try to do it one room at a time? really the pink walls don't seem to detract as much as the cloth everywhere. Painting is easy and inexpensive, unless you're planning to move away it would be so worth it.
Love this home with the pops of color and adorable pet Mildred.
Go Blue! I had a 325 sq. ft apartment in Ann Arbor when I was a student there and couldn't figure out how to make it as cozy and comfortable as you've been able to. Congrats and all the best in school!
I am glad to see a return to AT's roots!
This is really well organized -- tons of good ideas for one-room living.
Cute place and of course Mildred steals the show! The fabric on the wall is a great idea especially over the bed. I put a quilt on nursery wall to add color 23 years ago and had forgotten how good it can look. I am going to pass this on to my daughter who is in a tiny apartment with equally odd tinted white walls.
It's funny how when people don't have much to say about a place they comment on other things, like pets. Thats not to take away from Mildred, who is very cute, but she is not the tour. I'm always impressed when someone lives in such small spaces as American's are taught to believe bigger is better, so this is always refreshing, no matter how you decorate it. As an interior decorating enthusiast I would agree with those that question the fabric on the walls. Not so much so the fact that they are there, but more so the color or pattern choice. If anything the pink walls would have stood out less if left bare, or if you'd hung three of those black ikea picture frames up side by side with a cool, colorful, funky fabric.
I'm just sayin.
Ditto on the pieces of fabric especially the brown patterned one by the side of the bed. Love the teapot through :)
I would just love eating at that dining room table! Looking out the window, daydreaming. So nice!!!
Why is it not acceptable to express any opinion that is not 100% in agreement with what is shown even when expressed intelligently and respectfully?
Why not do wall to wall curtains instead of pinning the fabric? Would look cleaner and less like you're trying to cover something up, IMO.Ikea has those wire curtain rods that can go around corners and attach to the ceiling.
I love your solution to mug storage. Do you remember where you got your hooks and bar? I'd like to replicate that in our kitchen.
