free book excerptStartled, the policeman shined his flashlight in the face of the strange man. The policeman was horrified by what he saw. Not only was his face oddly colored and disfigured, but in the middle of his forehead was a third eye! The terrified policeman rushed back to his police car and called for backup.

FACT OR FICTION?TRUE: In April 1977, Elmer McCurdy’s remains were interred in Summit

View Cemetery in Guthrie, Oklahoma. Two cubic yards of cement were poured over his coffin to make sure that the outlaw’s entertainment career was over for good. You can read more about this facsinating story in Mark Svenvold’s book, Elmer McCurdy: The Misadventures in Life and Aferlife of an American Outlaw.

erratumIn our last issue, we failed to identify the UWA

Homecoming Queen as Keonna Echols who was pictured meeting President Holland during halftime at the UWA vs. Henderson football game. We regret this ommission and congratulate her on her win. Please enjoy this photo taken by Stewart Gwin once again.

Stories of the mysterious face sketched into the window sill have become a leg-end in Carrollton, Alabama.

As one version of the story goes, in the 1870’s a man named Henry Wells was ac-cused of burning of the courthouse and was wanted by all in the area.

After fleeing from a mob, Wells ended up hiding in new courthouse’s attic but was soon hit by a lightning bolt that struck the window. The image of Henry's face can still be seen on the garret window.

Willie Williams, University of West Ala-bama visiting Director of Choral Activities/Instructor of Speech & Theatre, received the opportunity of a lifetime to portray Wells in a play entitled The Face in the Courthouse Window last spring.

“To have the grand opportunity of bringing Henry Wells to life was an amaz-ing experience,” Williams said. “Preparing for the play took a lot of hard work and dedication to bring it to life for the audi-ence.”

The UWA Alabama Ensemble Choir also received an opportunity to perform dur-ing the pre-show.

The Face in the Courthouse Window is one of the newest productions by Barry Bradford, an award winning playwright and Alabama native. Bradford has been writing plays for over 19 years.

His plays are known for their delicate subject matter, such as racism and slav-ery. Barry also won the Southern Play-wrights competition in 2005 and 2009.

Williams hope to reprise his role as Wells next spring. The play will be hosted April 14-17, 2011 in the Courthouse in Carroll-ton, Alabama.

“For the upcoming spring things will be bigger and better and new ideas will fall into place,” stated Mr. Williams.

Casting calls for The Face in the Court-house Window are up coming for any faculty, staff, or students that are inter-ested.

For further contact information, contact Mr. Willie Williams or online at www.court-housewindow.com.

www.uwa.edu/muse muse: to ponder; to be absorbed in deep thought27 October 2010

Thank you for reading this third issue of muse. We took a few weeks

off this semester to retool The Life into muse, a re-imag-ined version of what should be the student newspaper of The University of West Alabama campus. Our first two editions are far from perfect, as no doubt is this one, but we are proud of what we’ve been able to accomplish so quickly. However, as my wife points out, no one else thinks a newborn is as cute as his parents believe him to be. But now we have a brag book--two of them, in fact--and when you stop talking for even a millisecond, we’ll share page-by-page commentary of the latest antics of our children. They grow a little more with each passing issue. They get smarter. And they dress a little snappier too, each in his own way.

In addition to campus news and sports offered by The Life, muse now incorporates entertainment, arts, and music. muse stands bigger and better in other ways too. We’ve expanded from 8 pages to 24. We’ve added full-color to many of our pages, rather than running just black and red. We’ve added nationally respected com-ics, a larger crossword puzzle, and several more feature stories, some of which are sure to grab your interest. You can also view fast-loading online version of the current or archived issues at http://www.uwa.edu/muse.

I’d also like to encourage you to play the Find the Muse contest. Everyone is eligible to win, even President Holland. The only person who is ineligible to play is me because, after all, we need one impartial person to supervise the drawings. And yes, there are our witnesses present, so even you have a fair chance of winning. By the way, I’ve talked with many faculty members and university staffers who enjoy looking for Calliope but are reluctant to play the game, presumably because they don’t want to take away prizes from the students. Listen: in this economy, I don’t know anyone who couldn’t use a little extra cash, so play. Everyone has an equal chance of winning. Find the Muse brings increased value to our advertisers as people carefully pore over each ad looking for Calliope. When you’re finished with this article, try to find her. THEN SUBMIT YOUR ENTRY!

Furthermore, I encourage you to patronize our adver-tisers, for without our advertisers, we can’t afford to bring you a quality product. Shop locally. Let shopkeepers know you saw their ad in muse.

Our staff works tirelessly and depends on the advertis-ing dollars to provide much needed scholarships for our student staff. If you are in a position to help our students, as an individual or a company, you can purchase a sponsorship for just $11 per issue. If you or your com-pany offers a product or service, and you would like to broadcast your message to our 2,500 circulation, please contact us at 205-652-5511. If you’re strapped for cash like most of our college students, you can still help. Tell your favorite stores they should advertise in muse, your favorite publication. It only takes a moment, and the impact can be huge! The more ad money and the more sponsorship money we have, the more we can spend on teaching software, computers, cameras, and

scholarships. The funds generated by this student news-paper also help to build our journalism minor as we work toward a specialized journalism major, which we hope to announce in the coming semesters. With a quality program, as reflected in this newspaper, we can attract quality students who will add value to our community and the local economy.

Finally, I’d like to take a moment of personal privilege to say thank you. Somehow, after many sleep-deprived nights, we got the first muse issues out, flaws and all. Had everyone who contributed not done his or her part, we

would not have made our deadlines. I want to thank everyone who made this ambitious undertaking pos-sible, beginning with the people listed on page 2, whose names should be listed in 10-foot type. I’d also like to thank Dean Tim Edwards, who understood what we were trying to accomplish this summer when muse was little more than a thumbnail sketch and hand gesturing on my part. Ultimately, however, I could not have done this without the help and understanding of my wife Jen-nifer and my youngest boys Kaiden and Gavin, as well as the rest of my family who’ve been inconvenienced by my absence. I hope that soon they don’t have to of-fer to pack a breakfast and a change of clothing for me on “newspaper days.”

We appreciate your observations and advice, and we are listening. We work hard to be your favorite publica-tion. We plan to continue to earn your trust as a reliable source of news, entertainment, and information. Let us know what you don’t like about muse by phone or email; but more importantly, tell us what you do like, so we can do more.

Thanks again, and keep in touch.Greg

P.S. Please take advantage of the free classified ads for students, staff members, or faculty members. See page 22.

Every college student wants to find the perfect job and start working toward their goals. The University of West Alabama students were offered a great oppor-tunity to find a good job on Wednesday in the Bell Conference Center as UWA Career Services presented the Career Expo from 9 AM to 1 PM.

Twenty companies, organizations and

schools were present to compete for fresh new talent. Representatives brought information, pens and candy to entice the students to their table so a recruiting pitch could be delivered. Students went away with business cards and bags full of information and goodies. Hopefully, they also went away with the experience of selling themselves and their talents to an employer who will remember their name at a later date. This is the purpose of a Career Expo: to introduce the employer to the prospective employee.

UWA Graduate Studies were repre-sented by each school on campus. UAB School of Public Health, UA Education Studies of Psychology, Research Method-ology and Counseling, and UA Air Force ROTC were also talking with students about their opportunities. The State of Alabama Department of: Conservation, Human Resources and Public Safety had information about their respective departments and their services to the residents of this great state.

Alabama Rural Ministries, although based in Auburn, works with the people of Sumter County and Livingston. They were at the Expo to offer positions for summer work in this area to repair homes and schedule children’s day camps. They can be reached at www.arm-al.org.

Representatives of Bryan W. Whitfield Memorial Hospital in Demopolis and Vital Care were attended the Expo to talk about what their company does and the place a graduating UWA student could fill in that company.

The representative for Environmental Business Specialists, LLC was a graduate student of UWA, who is living proof that Career Expos and networking play a part in acquiring a good job. EBS is an envi-ronmental specialty company who works with paper mills and other manufacturing companies as well as sewage treatment plants.

Alabama Power Company, Powersouth Energy, and Hunt Refining Company at-tended to answer questions about jobs that supply the power for our homes and cars.

Hunt has producing oil wells in Choc-taw County.

Georgia Pacific represented the paper industry. GP is a leader in manufacturing paper products that make life easier. Their Naheola plant supplies jobs for this area. Other area companies who brought their wares to the UWA Expo were State Farm Insurance, Regions, and Enterprise Rent-A-Car. One company offered the stu-dents a chance to “Be part of something new.” N.E.W. Customer Service Compa-nies has a site in Meridian, Mississippi, and is one of the “Best Places to Work” for 2010 as recognized by Washington Busi-ness Journal!

The UWA Career Expo: Explore the Jour-ney was a chance for students to meet future employers and talk to them about a career. Even if no one went away with a job, everyone who attended went away with more experience that they had when they walked into Bell Confer-ence Center on Wednesday. Someday, that experience will add up to a job. Good Luck!

The Montgomery Ballet Company will be performing at Bibb Graves Auditorium on October 28th at 7:30 p.m. for a special touring performance, as hosted by the Sumter County Fine Arts Council. Elie La-zar, Artistic Director of the Ballet, has cho-reographed a compilation of three works that will be performed during the event. Masa and Surrender 2 Love, which is set to flamenco music, are contemporary pieces. Ascending is the most classical of the three. It is performed to the music of the great Austrian Composer, Joseph Haydn. All three works will showcase the range of ability of the dancers. The Montgomery Ballet is the only professional ballet company in the city of Montgom-ery and one of only two in the state of Alabama. Lazar joined in 2007. He has danced professionally with the Israel National Ballet, the Haifa Ballet and the New Jersey Ballet. Lazar has made guest appearances with major companies around the world. Priscilla Crommelin-Ball, the company's Executive Director, served as Artistic Director for over a decade until

she received a promotion and the reins were handed over to Lazar. The profes-sional company was founded in 1958 as the Montgomery Civic Ballet and is a member of DANCE/USA, the national or-ganization for nonprofit professional ballet companies. Since that time, their perfor-mances have been pleasing audiences all over Alabama. The Montgomery Ballet has grown to include nine full-time profes-sional dancers, nine apprentices and a school of over 300 local students being taught by the finest, professional teachers in the region. The dancers can be seen in Montgomery, performing several pieces a year such as The Nutcracker, a holi-day tradition for the past 36 years. This February, the company will be perform-ing Snow White. The ballet is free to all University of West Alabama students and members of the Sumter County Fine Art Council. Other attendees need only pay $10 admission for adults and $2 for chil-dren. It is a performance that shouldn’t be missed.

There’s nothing like having a cookout with scenery as beautiful that at Lake LU, but the added bonus of an eclectic group of people reading a diverse selection of poetry and prose enhanced the atmosphere with the humor and beauty of human invention.

Poetry on the Lake is unlike any other event at The University of West Alabama, mostly because it levels the playing field between professors and students. Instead of trying to teach students about a particular subject, professors are instead sharing a slice of themselves that students wouldn’t normally have the opportunity to see. Stu-dents, too, are giving their professors and peers something of themselves that comes from personal preference, instead of the professional attitude that they adopt when studying.

The mood of this event is among the mellowest on campus, people mingling with much laughter and happy chatter set against the smell of hot charcoal; it’s a cof-feehouse vibe set in the great outdoors. Dr. Joe Taylor, creative writing professor and head of the event, mans the grill to feed the masses. On the menu, chili dogs with any number of side dishes, all provided by the faculty of the College of Liberal Arts.

However, everyone across campus was invited to attend. Fine Arts Chair Arthur Grothe, as well as Choirmaster Willie Williams, both came to enjoy the event. Dr. Man-ley Blackwell also lent his presence to the fun-filled evening. Librarian and co-sponsor Shelia Limerick and Nursing Instructor Tricia Taylor helped to round out the faculty across-campus presence.

Students also ran the gamut of majors. Every college was represented, as well as almost every type of literature imaginable. J Taylor said “this was the best event we’ve ever had. The quality of the readings, along with the variety, made this the best one so far.”

There was, in fact, something for everyone. From Dr. Debbie Davis’ reading of “Do-ver Beach,” to some student’s risqué rendition of a happening of a more personal na-ture, all was received in the spirit of which it was intended; that of sharing something of a personal nature in an atmosphere of humor and acceptance.

Clifton Kelly, emcee for the event, did a great job of balancing the more serious of the works with the lightness of the mood. As per the upcoming Halloween Holiday, Kelly read a few of his favorite zombie poems. For newcomers, this helped to keep the flow of the event going, and for veterans it kept the spirit mobile.

Freshman David Farist enjoyed his initial attendance at the event. He said, “It was very interesting to listen to all the poems and stories from all the different authors.” Farist represents the type of attendee that Poetry on the Lake lures back time after time. Those with an open mind and an affection for listening to varied works, spoken in the different voices of their peers and professors.

Even those who did not read found other artistic inspiration. Dr. Kendrick Prewitt and Dr. Russ Davis both indulged their passions for photography, making sure that those attending would be preserved for posterity.

Williams also gave the thinned out crowd a snippet of his fabulous voice, spontane-ously giving the few remaining a bit of art through song.

Although the affair does provide instant inspiration, the lingering effects of Poetry on the Lake should not be discounted, either. This is actually witnessed by the proceeding poem, written by R. Davis, and inspired by the experience.

The night was fantasticThe prose was bombasticThe readings enthusiasticAndDr. Taylor’s chili dogs…………..rocked.

John Maxwell will bring his internationally acclaimed one-man play, “Oh, Mr. Faulkner, Do You Write?” to the University of West Alabama on Thursday, Nov. 4, at 7:30 p.m. in UWA’s Bibb Graves Auditorium.The presentation will be a part of the annual Sumter County Fine Arts Council evening of dinner and the arts.This year marks the 25th season of production of Max-well’s performance of one of America’s favorite novel-ists, William Faulkner.The play has been performed by Maxwell since its debut at the New Stage Theatre in Jackson, Mississippi, in 1981. Since then he has traveled to 12 countries and across the United States with his performance.“I became a fan of William Faulkner at the age of 30 and started reading his works religiously. I eventually came across some books that contained letters written by Faulkner to his family and agents. They gave a lot of insight into who he was really was as a person,” Maxwell explained. “From there, I got together with a friend of mine named Tom Dupree, and we began co-writing “Oh, Mr. Faulkner, Do You Write?”.The play includes stories about his Faulkner’s days in Hol-lywood writing screenplays for Howard Hawkes, Humphrey Bogart, and Clark Gable; anecdotes about his days in Oxford, Miss., with his family; and a question/answer session with an imaginary English class.

Lake Livingston University is indeed a jewel in the crown of the University of West Alabama. There is no better location in Sumter County that provides fishing, boating, picnicking, hiking and nature watching as good as Lake LU.

The 50-acre lake, situated on the north-west corner of the UWA campus, also offers excellent bass and bluegill angling from both on shore and in boat.

Robby Limerick, a UWA biology gradu-ate, has managed Lake LU for 13 years.

“Students don’t realize what a jewel the lake is to UWA,” Limerick said. “The hiking trail provides added option if you are of walking the Loop. It also provides the best fishing opportunity available for the public in West Alabama.”

He added, “We don’t allow swimming and water sports due to safety concerns. Mountain biking is encouraged, but no motorized vehicles and horses are al-lowed on any of the trails.”

Fishing is allowed on Wednesday and Saturday 6:00 a.m. until dark; Sunday from 12:00 noon until dark. It isn’t permitted on Thursday and Friday, but picnicking and pleasure boat rentals are.

The current lake record largemouth bass is a fish caught in 1991 that weighed 15 pounds, 3 ounces. This fish was only 1 pound, 5 ounces away from the Alabama State largemouth bass record. Phenom-enal bluegill catches are also produced at Lake LU.

“The potential for the state record is very high in Lake LU,” Limerick said.

All anglers aged 16 through 64 years of age must possess a valid Alabama resident or non-resident fishing license,

depending on their state of residency. Anglers must register at the Lake Of-

fice and present their license to the lake manager in order to obtain a daily lake fishing permit.

Fishing is $1.00 for anglers age 12 and under, $3.00 for anglers 13 years and older. University students, faculty and staff plus one guest are allowed free admission into Lake LU when they present valid UWA identification.

Twelve aluminum jon boats are avail-able for rent to the public. Boats rent for $5.00 per day. Vests and paddles rent for $1.00 each.

UWA students, faculty and staff may rent a boat for $3.00 per day. However, the vest/paddle fee is waived. Anglers may put their own personal battery powered electric trolling motor on the rented boats, but gas outboards are not allowed.

If you are going to fish Lake LU regularly it is strongly advised that you have an electric troll-

ing motor.The picnicking facilities range from

covered pavilions to open air picnic table areas. Pavilions are rented to UWA students, faculty and staff and must be reserved by contacting Limerick.

There are also three hiking trails, the Nature Trust Nature Trail, the Prairie Trail and the Lake Trail, located adjacent to the lake.

The main trailhead begins at the nature trail bridge located directly behind Tartt Baseball Field. Information on the tree trails can be obtained by visiting the trail-head kiosk at the nature trail bridge.

All visitors are required to sign in prior to using the hiking trails. Hiking trails close at dark. Anyone found on the trails after dark will be charged with trespassing.

“I believe it would be a great idea if a tour of the lake was included when prospective students and others visit our university, especially those planning to major in something biology related,” Limerick said. “In fact, the UWA biology department often visits and takes advan-tage of what we have to offer at Lake LU for various things. A lot of people enjoy the lake. Overall I would love to see more students take advantage of what the lake has to offer.”

The lake is closed to the public on Monday and Tuesday. For a complete list of lake rules, regulations and fish photos, please go to www.lakelu.uwa.edu. Fish on!

mr. fantasy girl 2010

Smooth legs, tight fitting dresses, sultry and seductive entertainment, and a swim suit competition to top it off all. The Mr. Fantasy Girl pageant provides all that. Guys read-ing this are probably drooling at the visual this description creates.

Sorry to disappoint, but this isn’t your ordinary pageant. The 16th annual MFG pag-eant brings together a courageous group of male students from the University of West Alabama and gets them in touch with their “softer” side.

This year’s winner was UWA senior, Ryan Woods, who overcame tough competition from 12 other “ladies." Woods joins a list of MFG “Queens” that include recent winners Dr. Joe Taylor, Wesley Morgan, Bobby Simmons, and David Morgan.

William Kyles, a senior at UWA, participated in this year’s and the 2009 pageant. Although he didn’t win, Kyles's participation carries a special meaning.

“My brother is hearing impaired,” Kyles explained. “He participated in the Special Olympics from elementary to high school. So helping Alpha Sigma Alpha with their pageant is a good experience.”

The Zeta Rho Chapter of AST hosts the pageant to raise money for the Special Olym-pics. Last year they managed to raise $1,005. They have raised $650 so far this year.

Richard Blaski can be seen walk-ing across campus any day, regard-less of the weath-er. Or he can be found in class or in the Delta Sigma Pi office on the first floor of Wallace Hall. Whenever you meet Richard, he always has a kind word and a smile.

Richard Blaski is a special type of guy. He describes himself as shy, funny, roman-tic, motivated and unafraid to cry when touched by something.

Since transferring to the University of West Alabama in the spring of 2007, Blaski has made his presence felt in the lives of many.

“God gave me the gift of seeing the best in people. I do not judge or treat people better than they treat me. You could be an angel unaware. I want to do my best to help you if I can. I also demand not 100 percent but 150 percent from myself, if that is possible. I am a perfectionist,” Blaski said.

He added, "Being a non-traditional student has not always been easy. Some-times, the professors think I should know more that my classmates. Sometimes, the students look at me, and I can hear their silent question, 'Aren’t you too old to be

here?' But almost everyone accepts me for who I am. They do what they can to help me.”

Blaski was born in Erie, Pennsylvania, and relocated to New York City years later. As a child, he was picked on and laughed at because of his speech im-pediment. Although Blaski had six siblings, he often kept to himself. To occupy him-self during free time, Blaski soon learned to make jewelry, which he later began to sell.

“I could sell my jewelry and anything else I could find," Blaski said. "I’ve been selling ever since. Now I have a company and sell lots of things; coats, handbags, cards, jewelry, electronics, cell phones, and computers--I can sell anything. Someone told me once, I have the ability to sell the shirt off my back to a person who has a better one."

Richard was living in New York during 9/11. In fact, he was close enough to the Twin Towers to see and hear the planes crashing. Blaski lost many close friends that tragic day.

He said that 9/11 greatly changed his life. It brought new life to never taking anyone, anything or any moment for granted.

Blaski moved from New York to Gilber-town, Alabama in April of 2002 to live with his youngest sister, Marian, who was dealing with some health issues. Soon, his mother and one of his four brothers made the move as well.

While in Gilbertown, Richard heard

about Alabama Southern Community College (ASCC) and enrolled. Blaski did not own a car, so each morning, he walked seven miles back and forth to campus.

Blaski soon became involved in the ASCC Student Government Associa-tion and the Baptist Campus Ministry. He served as both vice president and presi-dent of both organizations.

He also volunteered for Caring Angel Hospice and Daystar Hospice in Gilber-town and Willow Trace Nursing Center in Butler.

After completing all of his requirements at ASCC, he came to UWA to earn a de-gree in business. Blaski explained, “I have to live like this is not my last moment. God has something for me to do, and I am on earth to do it. People told me that I could not do college work and wouldn’t ever make it. I finish what I start and start what I finish. I mean what I say and say what I mean. Some people do not like me because of that. When I accepted Christ I was given a verse, Matthew 5:16: ’Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.' I try to live by that verse."

During his time at UWA, Blaski has be-come known around campus for selling various products from his business and being the Vice-President of Delta Sigma Pi. Blaski is also in charge of recruiting members for the business fraternity.

He often provides motivational advice

to members, such as, “When you leave UWA and go into the real world it is not like school. The world owes you noth-ing!" Blaski’s personal mission at UWA is to prepare students for the business aspect of the world and help those who are interested in starting their own business.

Blaski also encourages members to participate in community service projects and volunteer for a hospice group, local nursing home or assisted living homes.

“UWA is truly a good college to attend. I’m proud to be a part of this family and would tell anybody who wants a good education to enroll here. I enjoy the fact that the classes are small and the profes-sors know you by name,” Blaski said. “My goals are to continue working with my company, help everyone I can with their business and continue to do my volunteer work."

If children have the ability to ignore all odds and percentages, then maybe we should learn from them. When you think about it, what other choice is there but to hope? We have two options, medi-cally and emotionally: give up or fight like hell.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. This is the month dedicated to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation. Breast cancer is a type of can-cer that many women contract. Caucasian women are more likely to get this type of cancer, but other females of different races also have a high risk. Unfortunately, many women do not realize the precautions they should take. This cancer has started to affect more and more women every year. There are many factors a woman cannot control, such as just simply getting older and having a higher risk for this disease. There are some factors women can control, however, and that is why every woman should get a breast examination every year just to be safe. Rachel Mitchell, a sophomore at UWA, says,” Breast cancer is something that should not be taken lightly, and it is impor-tant to be checked on a regular basis and to know and understand everything about this disease.”

The Susan G. Komen Foundation, founded over more than 25 years ago, is now the largest network for breast cancer survivors and activists. In the last two decades, a global breast cancer movement began. Komen Race for the Cure is the most successful fundraising event put on by the foundation. The over-riding mission of the foundation is to discover the cause of breast cancer. Everyone can take part in helping these cancer victims survive by supporting activities that take place around the world. The Susan G. Komen Foundation has come such a long way investing $1.5 billion to date, but there is still work to be done! Nancy G. Brinker, founder and CEO of the Susan G. Komen Foundation, says, “We’re on a mission, but we can’t get there without you.”

As a young child, he always had this fascination with weather and clouds. While he was sitting in class, his mind would wander off to the outside world, watch-

ing clouds as they moved and formed in the sky.

Then, one day Mrs. Porter-field, his first grade teacher at W.O. Parmer Elementary School in Greenville, Ala, called him out into the hallway. He was terrified. However, instead of

punishing him, Mrs. Porterfield handed him a weather book and encouraged him to follow his dreams.

“That had a major impact on my life,” remarked Spann. “She didn’t fuss at me like most teachers would. Instead, she un-derstood my passion; she understood why I would stare at the clouds everyday during class, and she helped guide me through my first steps to future endeavors.”

Forty-eight years later, James Spann stands as Alabama’s most beloved me-teorologist, working as part of the ABC 33/40 news team, thanks to that simple, yet thoughtful gesture.

However, before his career even began with ABC, Spann entered countless other careers, each of which helped him reach where he stands today.

During his high school years at Tusca-loosa High, known today as Central High, Spann experienced some of the most significant events that helped shape his intense passion for weather: the Brent F4 tornado of 1973 and the “super outbreak of 1974” that spawned 148 tornados, killing 315 people and injuring over 5 thousand.

After those horrifying episodes, Spann spent many days working at an amateur radio volunteer. Yet, another big event that had a major impact on his career was a job offer to work as a disc jockey at local radio station WTBC-AM during high school.

Spann got his first television weather job in the summer of 1978 when he was hired by WCFT, Channel 33, in Tuscaloosa. He then moved to WSFA-TV, Channel 12, in Montgomery where he was actually hired to do weekend sports, but his dream was still to do weather.

Spann’s dream came true a few years later when he was asked to work at the main weather anchor for Birmingham’s WAPI-TV, Channel 13.At this point, Spann had only one year of TV experience and no formal weather education. It was a

“God thing,” as Spann put it.After five years, Spann was transferred

to KDFW is Dallas, working as the lead weather anchor for one of the largest TV markets in the nation at 28. While there, he won the Katy Award for Best Weather-caster in Dallas/Fort Worth.

In the summer of 1981, he married his Karen O’Mary After some time in Dallas, the couple they made the move back to Alabama to run a radio station in Demop-olis along with Dave Baird and Tom Stipe.

He loved living in Demopolis, but he felt like he was meant to move back to Birmingham. They eventually made the move, and James began working for Channel 6 News where he spent seven years. It was there that he met his Brenda Ladun, Linda Mays, Mike Raita and Bill Castle.

When Fox wanted to buy out Channel 6, Spann and his fellow news team members helped form the new ABC affiliate in Bir-mingham, ABC 33/40, and he’s been there ever since.

“Have you ever seen the movie Anchor-man? Our jobs were a lot like that,” ex-plained Spann. “I remember how nervous and excited we used to get when going on air.”

They have broken a lot of new ground with 33/40, airing non-stop weather cover-age during tornado warnings, and estab-lishing both street level radar mapping and a mobile weather center.

“Times have changed. The old way of doing things is out, and I love that,” remarked Spann. “We have so much more technology and even the news has become a part of the whole social media network. Having started back in the earlier days, I’ve been fortunate enough to un-dergo all of these changes.”

One of his most crucial moments as a meteorologist occurred during the April 8, 1998 F5 tornado that killed 34 people in Birmingham.

“That was definitely the defining mo-ment of my career,” explained Spann. “Everyone will experience that one day. You never know when it’s going to be, but when it does happen, it will change your life forever.”

During his presentation on weather at the University of West Alabama on Oct. 11, Spann described the horrifying details of this tragic incident. A young boy by the name of Nathan Seals was the 34th person

to die from this tornado after being thrown 200 yards when he was carried off by the storm.

A woman who attended his presenta-tion at UWA also recounted her experi-ence during the F5 tornado: “I remember sitting at home and hearing [James Spann] come over the TV, warning us of a tornado heading towards my home. I grabbed my daughter, and we found a safe location,” described the woman. “It was absolutely terrifying. If James hadn’t warned us, we probably would have been dead. To this day, we still consider James Spann to be our hero.”

Although many lives were lost during this event, James Spann helped save more lives than were lost, just by caring. “It’s things like this that make our job real,” remarked Spann.

For someone who has never applied for a job in his life, James Spann has pushed his way to the top and now stands as one of the top meteorologists in the nation. He has been named Certified Broadcast Meteorologist by the American Meteoro-logical Society, a distinction held by only 32 others in the nation.

Spann has even earned an Emmy Award with fellow meteorologist John Oldshue for his coverage of Tuscaloosa’s record-setting tornado in 2001. He’s also received national recognition for his views on global warming, earning him a spot on CNN’s “Glenn Beck” and “Hannity & Colmes.”

He even has his very own James Spann bobble head. “They gave away over

10,000 of those things,” remarked Spann. “But what’s really strange is how they still manage to show up when it snows. Some-one is always sending me a photo of their bobble head in the snow.”

Today, Spann handles the weather for 25 radio stations around the nation, includ-ing the Rick and Bubba Network. But that’s not all. He also does four video updates on the Internet daily, writes for ABC 33/40’s blog and speaks at schools, civic groups and churches on a regular basis.

“Now is the perfect time to break into the journalism field,” Spann advised. “Al-though the field may be pretty competi-tive, they are always looking for new faces that can handle all of the new changes. If you’re planning on going into journalism or communications, my advice to you is to make sure you’re well-rounded. You have to be willing to do what you do over a variety of platforms.”

Spann also very active with his church community, teaching children services on Sundays at Double Oak Community Church in Shelby County.

He also co-owns his very own private weather business, The Weather Company, and he even has his very own James Spann bobble head.

“I truly love my job,” remarked Spann. “I enjoy going into work every single day. My news team is my family. We’ve known each other for years, and we’ve been through a lot together. I can’t imagine myself doing anything else. I guess I was just born to do this.”

Philanthropy is used to increase the well being of humankind. It plays a huge role in each Greek organization on campus. Habitat for Humanity, American Red Cross, and Children’s Hospital are just a few examples of organizations that Greeks

raise money for. Without the efforts of the Greek community, many of these organizations would not be able to provide everything they do to help others.

The brothers of the Theta Gamma chapter of Sigma Pi are hosting one of their many philanthro-py events this week for their international philan-thropy, the SAM Spady Foundation. The founda-tion was created in memory of Samantha Spady, a 19-year old student at Colorado State University, who died of alcohol poisoning on September 5, 2004. The foundation’s goal is to educate all parents and students on the dangers of alcohol, specifically high-risk consumption, and the signs and symptoms of alcohol poisoning.

The Sigma Pi brothers will be raffling off a Rem-ington 870 Express 12 Gauge Shotgun. Tickets are on sale, 1 for $3 and 2 for $5. The drawing will be held on Dec. 2nd at the UWA Basketball game as they take on Delta State. You do not have to be present to win! Contact Jeremy Sheffield or any Sigma Pi brother to purchase a ticket.

Tackling a shifting trend in the death pen-alty in 2000, former actors Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen co-wrote a

play highlighting the flaws within the American justice system. The duo decided to use real stories of real people. The result was The Exonerated.

The University of West Alabama Theatre will present a staged read-ing of this heart-wrenching performance on Tuesday, Nov. 2 at 6 p.m. in the Wallace Hall Auditorium on campus.

Extracted from interviews, letters, transcripts, case files and the public record, the play introduces the audience to Kerry, Garry, Robert, David, Sunny and Delbert, six real individuals who were each convicted of different crimes.

The cast for this performance includes UWA students Ashley Betts, Sarah Cole, Willie Davis, Tara Grayson, David Morgan and Jonathon Woodruff.

In addition, the cast includes Visiting Director of Choral Activities, Willie Williams; Dean of Liberal Arts, Dr. Tim Edwards; and Arthur Grothe, the director of UWA Theater.

This Exonerated differs from previous UWA pro-ductions in that it’s more serious, powerful and real. Overall, the play is much grittier, and the language is more intense than that found in some of the previ-ous UWA productions.

“The idea behind this was to involve students from different parts of the college to help stimulate a debate and interest in the issues presented in the play,” explained Grothe. “Since we are presenting such a serious topic to the public, it will be interest-ing to hear what the audience has to say about the subject.”

He added, “I think this is a powerful and meaning-ful issue and one that should be discussed, espe-cially in an institution of higher learning.”

The play moves between first-person monologues and scenes set in courtrooms and prisons.

Combined, the stories paint a picture of an Ameri-can criminal justice system gone terribly wrong and of six brave souls who persevered to survive it.

Dr. Russ Davis, UWA Professor of Behavioral Sci-ences, asked his students to study the issue of the death penalty, approaching it from different angles. Following the reading, the group will host a talkback with various ministers and other members of profes-sions directly involved with the death penalty.

“I think that theatre at its best not only entertains the audience, but also gives an insight into the hu-man condition, and what deeper question to pon-der than life and death?” remarked Arthur Grothe.

The event, produced as a joint venture between the Social Science and Fine Arts departments, is free to the public. This powerful play contains adult language and themes.

The men of Alpha Phi Alpha chose Silina Houston to represent the University of West Alabama as Miss Black and Gold. Holding the title of Miss Black and Gold is an honor for any female. Miss Black and Gold is a pageant for women who embody good morals and who carry themselves with dignity and integrity. Silina Houston, who is from Linden, Al, is the ideal choice for this award. She is a sophomore here at the university, majoring in English. I asked Silina what being Miss Black and Gold meant to her. Silina eagerly responded, “It means a lot to me. I respect the Brothers of Alpha Phi Alpha, and I am truly humble and honored to receive this title. I believe that the men of Alpha Phi Alpha uphold high values, and my values are similar to theirs. I am representing them and what they

stand for, and I am very grateful for this op-portunity.”

Silina then told me that she continued on to compete in the district competition held in Mobile, Al. The competition was divided up into several categories, the introduction, swimwear, talent, and evenings wear. Silina was visibly excited as she told me about her experience “I met a lot of people, and this was a wonderful learning experience. I saw and felt the bond of the many people there. There were many members of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity and also Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority supported me at the an-nual 2010 Miss Black and Gold Pageant.” Although Silina did not place in the district Miss Black and Gold pageant, she is look-ing forward to upholding her position as Miss Black and Gold.

The Third Eye Man of USC

The first sighting of the Third Eye man occurred on November 12, 1949, at 10:43 p.m. Two male students were walking down the street in the vicinity of the Longstreet Theater when they saw a man wearing what appeared to be a silver suit pry open a manhole cover at the corner of Sumter and Green Streets. As the strange figure climbed into the sewer, he pulled the manhole cover back over the hole. One of the boys, Chris-topher Nichols, was a reporter for the school newspaper, the Gamecock. As soon as he re-turned to his room, he began working on an article about

the creature he dubbed “The Sewer man.”

Interest in the “Sewer Man” persisted for a few weeks and then died down. The bizarre creature returned with a vengeance six months later. On April 7, 1950, a policeman was patrolling the campus late in the evening when he found the mutilated remains of two chickens on the load-ing docks of the Longstreet Theater. Shaking his head in disgust, he walked over to his car and phoned in his grisly discovery to the police station. He returned to the scene of the crime and was shocked to see a man dressed in silver bent over one of the chicken carcasses. Startled, the policeman shined his flashlight in the face of the strange man. The policeman was horrified by what he saw. Not only was his face oddly colored and disfigured, but in the middle of his forehead was a third eye! The terrified policeman rushed back to

his police car and called for backup. When the police-men arrived at the Longstreet Theater, all they found were a few bones and feathers. After the policeman who reported the intruder finally calmed down, he repeated his story to his colleagues, but he was unable to convince them that what he saw in the dim light of his flashlight was more than just his imagination

Although rumors of the Third Eye Man circulated through-out the 1950s, his existence was relegated to campus lore. Then one October night in the late 1960s, a group of fraterni-

ty boys took three pledges to the steam tunnels under the university for an initiation ritu-al. They had just rounded the corner when a silvery figure that appeared to be crippled stepped out of the shadows. In his hand, he held a lead pipe in a very menacing way. Suddenly, the strange man charged the fraternity boys. At that moment, the young men realized that the Third Eye Man was more than just a campus myth. Screaming, they spun around and ran back to the opening of the tunnel. The Third Eye Man managed to tackle one of the pledges, inflicting minor cuts on his face and hands. Two of the older fraternity boys contacted the police depart-ment. A thorough search was conducted of all the tunnels, but the Third Eye Man was gone. To prevent further inju-ries inside the steam tunnels, the administration had all but the maintenance entrances sealed.

Marc Minsker, a graduate student in English from the University of South Carolina, says that sightings of the Third Eye Man diminished in the 1980s and 1990s for two rea-sons. First of all, the campus police are reluctant to enter the steam tunnels. Secondly, students who venture into these forbidden regions of the university have been threat-ened with suspension. As a result, the mystery of the Third Eye Man continues to deepen with each passing year.

Many of Brown’s titles are available at the UWA Bookstore.

The Trailblazers are a team that has been plagued by injuries the last couple years. They will have a healthy Brandon Roy and Greg Oden this year, but whose to say

they will finish that way. Having these two, along with Andre Miller, Marcus Camby, Lamarcus Aldridge, and Rudy Fernandez, are critical to the team’s playoff hopes. Just don’t expect the Trailblazers to compete for an NBA title just yet.

Last season they nearly clinched their first playoff berth since the 2006-07 season before the Bulls stole it away. Their luck got even worst when star player, Chris Bosh, signed with the Heat during the offseason. With limited options available to replace him, Toronto re-signed Amir Johnson to a ridiculous deal. They also signed Linas Kleiza and traded for Leandro Barbosa to bolster their young roster. Jay Triano and company are headed for disaster this season.

This team is getting better and better. So it wouldn’t be a surprise to see them contend for a play-off spot. Memphis accomplished a major task by re-signing Rudy Gay. Also Zach Randolph had an unexpected terrific season and was named to the all-star team. Marc Gasol is becoming a great center and OJ Mayo improves each year. Xavier Henry and Greivis Vasquez were picked up in the draft. If Hasheem Thabeet can prove his value as a former No. 2 pick, he will also be a key contributor. Teams should be careful to not overlook the Grizzlies anymore.

All-Star David Lee was acquired in a trade and they have the very talent Stephen Curry plus the quick and explosive Monte Ellis. But when Dorell Wright and

Louis Amundson are your “big” signings, the Warriors are in trouble. Wright will compete with Reggie Williams for the starting small forward spot. Ekpe Udoh was their top pick this year. However, he’s currently out for six months due to injury. Looking at this roster, new coach Keith Smart and his Warriors don’t have enough pieces to be a force.

Rockets finished last season as the last te am out of the playoffs. Many

They feature nine new players after a busy offseason, which included a trade for Michael Beasley and Martell

Webster. They also drafted former Syracuse standout, Wesley Johnson, with the 4th pick of this year’s NBA draft. Al Jefferson was traded to division rival, Utah and Darko Milicic was resigned to a 4 yr deal worth 20 million. Minny plays in a Northwest division that features heavy competition all way around. Looks like another tough year for the T’wolves, but they should have a couple more wins.

New Head Coach Avery Johnson will get things turned around but it will take a tremendous effort for them to make the playoffs this season. The Nets big three, Brook Lopez, Devin Harris and Terrence Williams, will provide Johnson all the help he needs to get things going. New Jersey has also been working hard to land Carmelo Anthony through a trade. If they are able to pull off the trade, then the playoffs are an automatic lock.

For the last few seasons, the Pacers have always been missing a key element that will make them

a playoff team again. No I’m not talking about Reggie Miller, although they would love to have him back. What I’m referring to is a true point guard. Larry Bird hopes Indiana has finally found that in Darren Collison. Collison raised some eyebrows while filling in for an injured Chris Paul last season with the Hornets. Now he’ll have to help Danny Granger find a way to get the Pacers back on a winning track. But guess what? They now have issues at the power forward position. Oh well, next season looks promising.

The Wizards have the best potential to surprise everyone and clinch a playoff berth. Rookie John Wall is the new face of the franchise. Wall is surrounded with young talent like Josh Howard, Al Thornton, Andray Blatche and Kirk Hinrich. They also have a now gun free, Gilbert Arenas back. So the Wiz has a competitive team. Problem is they can only go as far as Wall can carry them. The 20 year-old isn’t quite at a solid leadership level yet and has ways to go.

When Philly landed the second pick in this year’s NBA draft fans rejoiced knowing Evan Turner would be headed to the City of Brotherly Love. The pairing of Turner, Jrue Holiday and Andre Iguodala sounds great

but it won’t produce immediate results of a winning team. Plus it appears Turner needs time to transition into the NBA style of play. New Head Coach Doug Collins has the ability to get the 76ers into the playoffs. Fans and ownership, however, will need a lot of patience.

L.A wants yet another championship and appears determined to do just that. Most of their work this

offseason was spent renovating their bench players. Adam Morrison, DJ Mbenga, Jordan Farmar and Josh Powell were replaced by Matt Barnes, Steve Blake, Theo Ratliff, Devin Ebanks and Derrick Caracter. I’m sure Kobe approves of that bench. The Lakers should finish as the top seed. Even if they finish 2nd or 3rd, L.A still seems like the most complete team in the West and will have a stronger possibility of a three-peat.

Jared Dudley, Channing Frye, Robin Lopez, and Goran Dragic were pivotal in the Suns playoff run last year. Phoenix also added Hedo Turkoglu, Josh Childress, and Hakim Warrick which is a major help. Head Coach Alvin Gentry says the team has been working hard on improving their defense. If this happens combined with great play out of Steve Nash and other key contributors, the Suns could possibly shock the world and the Lakers by winning the Western Conference.

Baron Davis, Eric Gordon, Chris Kaman, Randy Foye and Blake Griffin lead a good mix of young and veteran players.

Griffin will officially begin his rookie season after a devastating pre-season injury sidelined him all of last season. The Clips also had a solid draft with Al-Farouq Aminu, Willie Warren and the Kentucky-product Eric Bledsoe. If new coach Vinny Del Negro can bring his talent together, they should compete for the final playoff spot in the West.

Former Boston Celtics assistant, Tom Thibodeau, is the new head coach and will bring a new defensive aggression to the windy city. Also new to the team is Carlos Boozer, Kyle Korver,

and Ronnie Brewer as well as a host of others. Combine those players with Derrick Rose, Luol Deng and Joakim Noah, the future appears bright for Chicago. However, Boozer’s season won’t officially begin until late November or early December after suffering a broken hand. So Taj Gibson will need to step up in his absence. If everything comes together, the Bulls will go far in the playoffs but they aren’t quite ready yet to reach the NBA Finals.

Dwight Howard is among the best players in the NBA right now. He is the glue that holds everything together for Orlando. Vince Carter, Jameer Nelson, JJ Redick, and Rashard Lewis are the team’s other key components. Expect them to either reach the NBA Finals or come very close to it, provided the Heat, Celtics, Bulls or Bucks don’t stand in their way.

True the Hawks return mostly their same team which earned a third seed in the playoffs last season. However,

Many say without LeBron the Cavs are back to the status of being among the NBA’s worst teams. I strongly disagree.

Cleveland still has talent and can win a lot of games. New Head Coach Byron Scott just has to develop that mindset within his players. If their performance in the preseason is any indication, the Cavs are more than willing to show they don’t need LeBron.

Brandon Jennings, John Salmons and Andrew Bogut helped make people “Fear the Deer”. One could even argue that had Bogut never suffered a scary injury Milwaukee could’ve advanced further in the playoffs. They also got significantly better during the offseason by adding Corey Maggette, Keyon Dooling, Chris Douglas-Roberts, Drew Gooden, and rookie Larry Sanders. If the Bucks remain healthy, it may be time once again to make teams “Fear the Deer” especially during the playoffs.

Having a team that features LeBron James, Dewayne Wade, and Chris Bosh would typically make one think about an NBA all star game or the Olympics, not an actual NBA roster. The team also has some

good role players in Eddie House, Carlos Arroyo, and Mario Chalmers. I don’t think there is any doubt that Miami will finish with the best record unless they are plagued by injuries. However, early predictions of them winning the NBA Finals are way premature. Will they win it all? My answer is no. The East clearly has some serious competition.

outside of re-signing Joe Johnson and hiring a new coach in Larry Drew, Atlanta did absolutely nothing to help themselves gain a competitive edge in the East. Therefore, another early playoff exit is on the horizon.

would feel that the return of Yao Ming and the addition of Brad Miller as back-up center will improve the Rockets chances as a playoff contender. Houston has many good players like Aaron Brooks, Shane Battier, Louis Scola and Kevin Martin. They also added Courtney Lee and rookie Patrick Patterson. However, playing in the same division as Dallas and San Antonio is quite an obstacle. Look for the Rockets to take a bit of a fall from their record from last season.

For the first time since the 2005-06 season, the Jazz will likely miss the playoffs. How can this be with players like Paul Milsap, Deron Williams, and Andrei Kirilenko? Didn’t they just add Al Jefferson, Raja Bell and Gordon Hayward in the offseason? The answer to all these questions is yes. Jefferson and Milsap should help fans get over the lost of Carlos Boozer. Rookie Heyward, however, is not going to be a big difference for the Jazz. Fans will greatly miss Kyle Korver. The difference for the

Jazz is going to be two things: a lack of talent and being left out of the playoffs.

Coach Byron Scott was fired prematurely after nine games last season, a move that was met with displeasure by Paul. Monty Williams was hired as Scott’s replacement during the offseason. Paul has since begged for a trade after feeling the team didn’t make any roster moves to help the team win. New General Manager, Dell Demps, attempted to respond by trading for Trevor Ariza, Marco Belinelli and Willie Green. Yep, it’s going to be a long season in New Orleans.

Not too long ago the Pistons were a playoff regular and always a threat to make the NBA Finals. Nowadays they are on a serious decline. Key players Tayshaun Prince and Richard Hamilton will likely be traded soon. Their departure will leave Rodney Stuckey, Ben Gordon and Charlie Villanueva as leaders of a rising Pistons youth movement. General Manager Joe Dumars has already begun work on that movement with recent draft picks Jonas Jerebko, Greg Monroe, Austin Daye, DaJuan Summers, and Terrico White. With some decent coaching and more experience, the Pistons could once again have a championship caliber team. For now they have a long road ahead of them.

The Mavs are loaded with talent from top to bottom on their roster. They traded for Caron Butler, Brendan Haywood, and DeShawn Stevenson before last season’s trade deadline. During the offseason, Owner Mark Cuban kept his most prized possession by re-signing Dirk Nowitzki. Cuban also managed to keep away Haywood away from the talent hungry Miami Heat and basically stole Tyson Chandler from the Charlotte Bobcats via a trade. Dallas also drafted Dominique Jones, who led the Big East in scoring last year. Let me remind you that the Mavs

already have Jason Kidd, Jason Terry, Shawn Marion, and JJ Barea. This could translate to bringing down the defending Western Conference Champions: The Lakers. The key word here is “could.”

A starting five of Amar’e Stoudemire, Danilo Gallinari, Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton, and Ronnie Turiaf sounds promising. A bench featuring Bill Walker, Anthony Randolph, Kelenna Azubuike, Roger Mason, and Toney Douglas sounds even better. Question is, can everyone settle into Mike D’Antoni’s fast paced system? If the answer is yes then the Knicks will compete for a playoff spot. If the answer is no, then the Knicks should

either bargain hard to bring in Carmelo during the 2011 free agency period or figure out a way ASAP to get him in a trade.

Denver enters this season surrounded with more drama as Anthony has lobbied for a trade. With or without Melo, the team still has Billups, Martin and 2nd year player Ty Lawson to give them a spark. They also picked up former Knicks star, Al Harrington. However, Denver needs Anthony if they expect to regain their focus and goal of winning an NBA championship.

With young players like reigning rookie of the year, Tyreke Evans, Omri Casspi, Jason Thompson, Carl Landry and DeMarcus Cousins, they could eventually become the Atlanta Hawks of the West. Rookie Cousins will challenge for this year’s ROY. Another key addition is Samuel Dalembert who was acquired in a trade with Philadelphia. The big man foursome of Dalembert, Cousins, Landry and Thompson will form a dominant force in the paint. The Kings have a year or two before they become a real challenger in the West.

They have six players who are between the ages of 30 and above. Two of those veterans, Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobli, are key factors in the Spurs success. Coach Gregg Popovich realizes the time is nearing before Duncan heads toward retirement. DeJuan Blair and Tiago Splitter will likely be groomed as potential replacements. The Spurs will still be playoff contenders for years to come because of youngsters like Blair, Splitter, George Hill, and rookie James Anderson. Just do not look for them to be back as a finals contender until they acquire a couple more pieces.

Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are fresh off of winning gold medals in the FIBA tournament. Now they are hungry for an NBA championship. The Thunder went from pretenders to contenders in the NBA. They took the Lakers to six games during the first round of last season’s playoffs and came very close to eliminating them. That only means that the Thunder is going to get better and better because

of their talented young players. Westbrook, Jeff Green, James Harden, Serge Ibaka, Nick Collison, and Eric Maynor along with draft pick Cole Aldrich are going to help Kevin Durant compete for an NBA title for many years.

ten eco-friendly uses for baking soda

Ericka Reed

Last week I gave you ten time- and cost-efficient uses for baking soda around the house. However, the extraordinary powers of this lit-tle white powder reach beyond microwaves and dirty shower heads. Actually, baking soda has several personal benefits as well.

Ditch the expensive name-brands and try these baking soda alternatives instead:

1) Shampoo EnhancerYou’ve shampooed your hair three

times, but it still feels like you just rolled around in dirt and Vaseline. Don’t give up! Cleanliness is possible.

Try This: Mix two tablespoons of baking soda with a teaspoon of your shampoo. Lather and scrub as usual. Your hair will feel noticeably cleaner.

2) Clean Combs and BrushesSo now your hair is clean, and you want

it to stay that way. However, your combs look like they’ve been dragged through the mud with all the caked up oil and dandruff.

Try This: Soak combs and brushes overnight in a solution of equal parts bak-ing soda and water to remove dirt and grease build-up.

3) Facial ScrubWant to gently exfoliate your skin with-

out buying harsh (and sometimes expen-sive) facial scrubbers?

Try this: Mix a few drops of water with a teaspoon of baking soda until you have created a paste. It should be thin enough to go on smoothly, but thick enough to stay on without running off. Cover your face with the mixture right before you step in the shower. The steam from the shower opens up your pores al-lowing the baking soda to clean deeply. Leave on for about ten minutes and rinse well. Follow with your normal skin regimen, and you’ll notice cleaner, clearer skin in just a few days!

4) Skin SoftenerWho doesn’t want baby soft skin? (And

yes, guys, it’s okay for you to admit that you want silky smooth skin too. We won’t giggle…much.) What’s the trick?

Try This: Add ½ of baking soda or more to bath water. Simple, right? And to the males, baking soda sounds a lot manlier than skin-smoothing bubble bath.

5) Emergency DeodorantUh-oh! You ran out of deodorant, and

you have no time to run to the store. Do you have any baking soda handy?

Try this: Dip an old (or new) makeup brush in baking soda and dust it on your armpits immediately after getting out of the shower. Mix the baking soda with equal parts cornstarch if irritation occurs. It works just as well as deodorant.

6) Relieve Diaper RashThe baby is cranky, but you would be

too if you had uncomfortable diaper rash.Try this: Soothe Baby’s bottom by add-

ing 2 tablespoons of baking soda to his or her bath water. No crying means a happy baby and a happy mommy and daddy.

7) Burn SootherYou wanted to surprise your mom with

breakfast in bed. Instead, the fact that the skillet handle was hot surprised you. How do you make that incessant stinging stop?

Try This: Mix baking soda with ice cold water and apply to burns. Rinse and repeat as necessary. This method also prevents blistering and should end that list of obscenities you’ve been yelling since you got burned.

8) Toothbrush CleanerEven when you’re in bed sick, you

should still get up to brush your teeth. However, putting a grimy and germy toothbrush back in your mouth day after day is not appealing or sanitary.

Try this: Soak your toothbrush in a solution of baking soda and water in between uses. Be sure to change the solution daily to avoid recontamination. By the way, soaking your toothbrush is a good idea, even if you’re not sick.

9) Teeth WhitenerWhite teeth are healthy and pretty.

Skip the pricey bleachers and use baking soda instead.

Try this: Dip your wet toothbrush in baking soda and brush with your normal toothpaste as usual. With prolonged use, you can get the same results as teeth whitening systems for a fraction of the cost.

10) Breathe EasierThe weather has you stuck with a stuffy

nose and feeling less than your best. Want soothing relief?

Try this: Add about a tablespoon of baking soda to your vaporizer. It not only clears your nasal passages, but it also de-odorizes your home as an added bonus.

As you can see, the possibilities of bak-ing soda are virtually endless. Each of these tips saves you money and ensures a happy, healthier you. What else could you ask for? And the best part: all of these baking-soda based suggestions are eco-friendly.

Livingston is a great town, but oh how I miss a good Thai restaurant. I can hear the chimes and the foun-tain trickling down with the warm orange walls wrapped around me. I love the crisp veggie spring rolls with sweet chili sauce followed by steam billowing from a tin bowl full of sticky rice. I always order the masaman curry with tofu, crunchy cashews and buttery avocados. I love to saturate it with rice to sop up all the juice.

After months of cravings, I couldn’t stand it anymore, so I set out to the grocery store to try and recreate it. I found that for very little mon-ey, I could make a big pot of Curry Rice good-ness for friends or leftovers for myself. Curry Rice even tastes great cold! A rice cooker is the lazy man’s way to make this dish (a small one could be had for $15). You can literally put all the ingredients in the pot and walk away for about thirty minutes; when you return, the smell of Thailand will have permeated your room, and your dinner will be ready to eat. I have discov-ered that curry rice can be prepared without a rice cooker. I have made this dish in the microwave with instant rice and, it always came out great. Of course, the old fashioned way always works too. I am not opposed to boil-in-a-bag rice, but it is a little more expensive.

This is the simplest form of the recipe for ease of preparation and cost, but don’t be afraid to use what you have or try new things. It is different every time I make it. A few suggested ingredients include vanilla extract, cinnamon, potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, chicken, tofu, shrimp, peas; the sky is the limit. If you settle the rice with rich coffee poured over a few teaspoons of condensed milk, you won’t even know you’re in Livingston. kor hâi jà-rern aa-haan! (Enjoy)

Growing up in Virginia, Trey Songz loved music but he was not an R&B fan. He was a rap fan. The only R&B he listened too was R. Kelly. His friends heard his voice and told Trey that he needed to turn his focus toward R&B, and he did just that. So it is no surprise that Trey Songz sounds like an up-to-date R. Kelly who appeals to the younger generation of R&B fans. It is apparent that Trey is a fan of hip-hop because on several of his tracks, he sounds like and R&B artist as well as a hip-hop artist. One exam-ple is the “Kane Beats” produced song “Bottoms Up,” featuring Nicki Minaj. This track is like a follow up to his single on his last al-

bum, “Say Ahh,” and has much of the same positive feedback. But the fact of the matter is that Trey Songz is an R&B artist, one

who has evolved throughout his career but is still not where he should or wants to be. Passion, Pain, and Pleasure is Trey’s 4th studio album. This is Trey’s most mature album, meaning that it doesn’t have tracks appealing to the young group of fans who only want to hear little teeny bopper immature tracks like “LoL : )” which was on his last album “Ready.” Instead, Trey decided to show his growth as a man and record tracks like “Can’t Be Friends,” which is a song dealing with a multi-tude of men and women who have to decide whether or not to become romantically involved or not and then deal with the consequences their decision entails. On Trey’s last albums,

his vocals seemed a little choppy and out of sync at times, but he seems to have resolved that problem in his new album, and he carries his voice in a triumphant manner, as if he is declaring, “Hey world, look at me!”. Of course, this is a sex-driven album, but Trey is more creative on this one. Some of the tracks can be interpreted in different ways. An example is the pop/rock sound-ing song “Blind.” If you are not deaf, you can tell that this song sounds quite different from any other song on the whole album. To me, “Blind” is a song in which Trey, being a player, finds a woman who he thinks is the one for him, but at the end, she just treats Trey as he has treated many women, which is as a one night stand. Other notable songs on the album are “Doorbell,” “Love Faces,” and “Please Return My Call.” The more I listened to this album, the more I liked it. This album is more R&B driven, especially regarding the love ballads, than his previous albums ,which had more hip-hop components. Hip-hop elements can be found in this album, but the most important element in this album is Trey’s creativity.

passion, pain and pleasure

i am not a human being“I am Not a Human Being”, is the latest effort from rapper Lil

Wayne. The album debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 chart, based on its first-week digital sales alone.

The physical copy, released on October 19, 2010, led to a 410% increase in sales of 119,000, which is currently the album’s biggest selling week.

“I am Not a Human Being” features 13 tracks recorded prior to Wayne’s nine-month incarceration at Rikers Island for criminal possession of a weapon. Boi-1da, Cool & Dre, StreetRunner, Noah “40” Shebib, DJ Infamous and Wayne himself are credited with production.

The album is full of classic Weezy free styling verses and entertaining lines like /If you think you’re hot then obviously

you are lied too/we don’t die, we multiply/then we come divide you/, which makes for something fun to listen to.

The lead single off the album is called “Right Above it” featur-ing Drake. As of recently, the song has become a top-ten hit in the United States.

Of the other 12 tracks, the songs “Bill Gates” and “Popular” are the only tracks where Wayne doesn’t either feature at least one other young money artist, use a song from an already released on a mix-tape, or modify an already released track for the album.

The album itself, however, is not appropriately titled because its far from Wayne’s best work. He is just a human being by the quality of the album and his need of help by other artists.

In fact, it should’ve just been released as another collabora-tion album with his Young Money label mates or left as a mix-tape.

For what it’s worth, the album is good enough to hold fans over until “The Carter IV” which is supposed to drop on Wayne’s release date from prison in November.

trick or treat, broomsticks, & cauldronsAnetta Patterson

Whether it’s trick or treating, bonfires, haunted hay-rides, pumpkin carving, or apple bobbing, there are always tons of spooky activities to take part in on Hal-loween. With Halloween right around the corner, many of us are watching scary movies and picking out a creepy costume to wear to the seasonal Halloween party. How-ever, Halloween has a deep history and is one of the old-est traditions that are still practiced today. All Hallows Eve began as a pagan tradition among the Celtics in North-ern Ireland, Scotland, and England. The ancient Celtic tribes believed that the line between the living and the dead blurred on the 31st of October, when the weather became much colder. During ancient times, winter generally meant death because the cold weather led to sickness and damage to crops. Therefore, these ancient tribes attempted to ward off death and evil spirits by lighting bonfires in which the bones of sacrificial livestock were thrown. At these festivals, masks and costumes were worn in order to make them look like evil spirits to scare off ghostly spirits and send them away.

Despite this slightly dark history, Halloween has become such a fun and exciting part of our modern culture. Halloween, as well as most holidays, seems to generate intimacy among families and loved ones. The activities and costumes that go along with Halloween allow children to have fun and just enjoy being a kid. My most cher-ished childhood memories are from trick or treating, decorating for Halloween, and dressing up as a Disney princess or the pink Power Ranger. Yet, it seems that the older a person gets, the more this holiday loses its magic. Brittany Ivy, a 20 year old English major, claims, “It is more fun when you are younger because you get to dress-up and go trick or treating. But when you have your own kids, you get to see them enjoying the holiday like you once did. Halloween still seems to be targeted more towards chil-dren than any other age group.” However, Aretha Williams, a sociology major, believes differently: “Sometimes age plays a major role in Halloween, yet I am 31 years old and still completely love Halloween. People of all ages should at least attempt to have fun during this time of the year. Have fun with your children, but also have fun for your-self.” I believe that children and adults will always be able to appreciate this holiday because people will always be fascinated with the supernatural.

Carol Manley’s Church Booty gives a humorous and sympathetic look at Black culture in America, much of it centered around church and love. And, her take on mixed race marriage is immensely touching.

Excerpt from the �rst story:“Mother Serena was always trying to get someone to give her a ride to church and didn’t nobody ever want to give her one because she had that big old church booty.”

joke of the week poachers’ revenge

A farmer who raised watermelons was doing pretty well, but he was disturbed by some local kids who sneaked into his patch at night to eat his prized wa-termelons. After some careful thought, he came up with a clever idea that he thought would scare the kids away forever. He grabbed some paint and an old board and went to work. The next day, the kids showed up and they saw his sign: “Warning: One of the watermelons in this field has been injected with cyanide.”

Well, the kids were pretty smart, and they were not about to risk eating another watermelon. They ran off, made up their own sign, and posted it next to the farmer’s sign. The following day, the farmer showed up to look over the field, and he noticed, much to his delight, that no watermelons were miss-ing. He was perplexed, however, by a sign placed next to his. He drove his tractor up to the sign, which read “Now there are two!”

In December 1976, a film crew arrived at the Nu-Pike Amusement Park in Long Beach, Califor-nia, to film an episode of Six Million Dollar Man. A member of the work crew was in the process of moving one of the props in the fun house, “the hanging man,” when the arm fell off. The worker picked up the arm and was shocked to see that it was a real human bone. An investigation revealed the true identity of the bizarre exhibit in the fun house. The skeleton was the remains of an outlaw named Elmer McCurdy, who was shot and killed by a posse after robbing a train of $6 and two jugs of whiskey. No one claimed Elmer’s corpse, so the undertaker propped him up in the back room of the funeral home and charged people a nickel to see him. One day, two carnival promoters posing as Elmer’s brothers claimed his corpse and used him in their “House of Horrors.” For years, Elmer’s corpse traveled the country, moving from one sideshow to another, until ending up at the Nu-Pike Amusement Park.

The lemonade stand has often been a traditional symbol of American childhood and the image of adolescent ambition at big business. Despite this custom, in Mult-nomah County, Oregon, seven-year old Julie Murphy had her lemonade stand shut down right by a county health inspector. Apparently, Julie violated the government regulation of not attaining a $120 temporary restaurant license in order to run her lemon-ade stand in Oregon. So many of you may

be asking the same question as all of America at this mo-ment: seriously? In the hot month of July, Julie Murphy and her mother Maria Fife spent days making lemonade signs and numerous supply lists. The two planned for her big debut to be on Northeast Alberta Street in Portland rather than in her hometown of Oregon City so that Julie could get more customers. Northeast Portland is home to the Last Thursday Festival, where artists, vendors, and musi-cians gather to set up stands on the last Thursday of every month. However, just minutes after setting up her stand and making her first batch of fresh lemonade to sell for 50 cents a cup, a lady came over and asked them for their temporary license. After a confused Fife explained that they did not have a license, the lady told them if they did not pack up and leave that they could possibly be fined

$500. Caught completely off-guard, Fife and Julie be-gan to pack up their stand to leave. However, the neighboring stands encour-aged the two to stay and tried to persuade the other stands to support Julie’s lemonade stand. Yet, after business picked-up from the crowd backing Julie, two inspectors came back forcing Fife to close down her stand, which caused Julie to start crying and other stands to confront the inspectors. According to onlookers, the whole incident was a very big scene. One enraged witness to the event, Michael Franklin, publicized the incident on the Bottoms Up Radio Network and even interviewed Fife for the show. Franklin also organized a “Lemonade Revolt,” and he encouraged anyone and everyone to come set up a protest lemonade stand on Northeast Alberta Street. Jeff Cogen, an elected official and chairman in Multnomah County, officially apologized to Julie and Fife for the health inspectors who threatened to fine the seven-year old for the lemonade stand. Cogen claimed that inspectors need to use their professional judgment, and a lemonade stand “isn’t something we need to be using our limited resources to crack down on.”
