SOLIHULL parents and students are invited to participate in a consultation for a proposed performing arts and media academy in Birmingham.
The proposed Birmingham Ormiston Academy, would create a centre of excellence in the West Midlands for digital media and the creative and performing arts.
The academy would offer a unique curriculum combining both academic and vocational subjects, based on the successful formula of The BRIT School in London, whose recent graduates include Adele, Kate Nash and Leona Lewis.
If approved, the centre will open in September 2011 in the heart of Birmingham's learning, technology and heritage quarter, Eastside and cater for students aged 14-19 from across the region.
A series of informal consultations are being held to allow parents and prospective students to find out more about the Academy and give their feedback.
These views will be reported to the Government to consider, when deciding if the academy should be established.
A host of sponsors and partners would be involved in the project including, lead sponsor Ormiston Trust, with Birmingham City University as co-sponsor.
Key partners in the creation and development of the academy would include The BRIT School, Birmingham City Council, Maverick TV, and Matthew Boulton and South Birmingham Colleges.
The landmark new building would also house an 'Extended School' that would offer a range of services and activities for students, families and the community.
The Solihull consultation evening will be in The Hub, Touchwood on Monday September 29, from 6.30pm-8pm.

A salvage team will attempt to refloat a 17,000 tonne drilling rig that became grounded on Lewis almost two weeks ago.
The Transocean Winner came ashore at Dalmore during a storm while it was being towed from Norway to Malta.
The leader of the salvage team confirmed that an attempt to refloat the rig would be made on the high tide at about 22:00 on Monday.
Diesel oil has been successfully transferred onto a supply vessel and taken to Stornoway.
Since the grounding on the 8 August, a team from Smit Salvage, representatives from Transocean and a range of other experts have moved workers, engineering and shipping resources to Lewis to help with the refloat.
Sylvia Tervoort, salvage master with Smit Salvage, said: "We are checking and pressurising the tanks that we'll need for the refloating. Everything is installed ready for use and we're testing each compartment for the attempt at tomorrow's high tide."
Ms Tervoort said there was still a possibility that part of the rock on which the rig had grounded could be sticking up inside the pontoon structure below the waterline.
She said: "We could have used just one tug, but we have chosen to use two. We are not completely sure about the seabed and the pinnacles sticking in the rig. There are always things in salvage for which you can't account."
Hugh Shaw, the Secretary of State's Representative for Maritime Salvage and Intervention, said that salvage teams were still going over calculations and possibilities to ensure the refloat was successful.
He said the risk of any pollution from materials on board the rig had been reduced even further since the operation on Saturday.
"Transocean have successfully transferred approximately 200 tonnes of diesel onto one of the supply vessels, the Olympic Orion and she's back in Stornoway with that this morning," he said.
The towing lines are in place, ready to be picked up by two tugs once the final preparations start on Monday afternoon.
Mr Shaw has now given formal permission for the refloat. He said that even if there was a problem with snagging rocks, any further damage to the rig should not pose a problem.
"There is only a small amount of diesel left in the tanks because of the way the rig is listing," he said. "But even if there are further breaches of the tanks, it's unlikely we'll see any significant amounts being released into the environment."
Once this series of high tides pass, the tide will not reach similar heights for another two weeks at the beginning of September.
However, Ms Tervoort said that if unforeseen problems meant that the refloat attempt on Monday was not successful, they were still not out of time with this series of tides.
"We still have to go on for the next two high tides," she said. "If we can't refloat this time, there might be different reasons for that and we have to go back and rewrite the plans and try again on the next high tide.
"But we are confident that at the next high tide with all the tanks pressurised we can float the rig from the rocks."
Mr Shaw said that once the rig was freed it would have to be examined thoroughly to see if repairs were necessary before a decision was taken where to scrap it.
It will be towed to Broad Bay on the east coast of Lewis.
On Saturday, the salvage team successfully transferred diesel oil on a 17,000-tonne grounded rig from pontoon tanks to a safer position above sea level.
The oil was then moved onto the Olympic Orion.
Coastguards said no pollution from the oil transfer had been detected.
A temporary exclusion zone of 300m (984ft) remains in place around the rig.
More than 12,000 gallons (56,000 litres) of diesel oil were lost from two tanks on the Transocean Winner after it came ashore. The fuel is said to have evaporated and not caused a pollution incident.
Rig Galore: Could grounded rig inspire arts?
After a four-year hiatus, Benderson Development Co. says it is close to relaunching its ambitious University Town Center mall -- though perhaps without its partners or the luxury anchors once planned for the shopping hub.
Although sales have improved, analysts maintain that department stores Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus and Macy's -- who had tentatively committed to the $185 million mall -- remain too wary to consider opening many new stores.
Benderson will likely have to look to upscale alternatives like Saks Inc. or Lord & Taylor to anchor the 1.7-million-square-foot property, planned for Interstate 75 and University Parkway.
"Both Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus, in particular, are proceeding cautiously with retail expansions," said Jeff Green, president of Jeff Green Partners, a Phoenix-based retail consultant.
"I think it will be a while before University Town Center would get either one, or both," he said. "In my opinion, it will not happen until late in this decade."
Conceived during a real estate and stock market boom that fueled nearly unprecedented discretionary spending, the project snagged the upscale department stores in 2007 and 2008. But when the Great Recession ate into housing values in Southwest Florida and nationwide and tripled U.S. unemployment levels, the potential a...
The same might be true for Benderson's mall partners.
Mark Chait, Benderson's director of Florida leasing, declined to comment on the status of partners The Forbes Co. or Taubman Centers Inc.
"At this point it's our project, and we're working with several developers who are interested," Chait said. "We do expect to have a partner on it."
Chait said Benderson is in talks with a number of department store anchors that would be "appropriate."
Benderson and Forbes officially mothballed the upscale mall in December 2008, seven months after Taubman Centers Inc. was brought in to help get it off the ground. Taubman, developer of Tampa's International Plaza, told investors in April 2009 that the Town Center was on hold.
But Benderson signaled this week, while receiving approval from Sarasota County to decouple affordable housing from the 276-acre project, that plans have been revived and negotiations have intensified.
"The major retailers are talking seriously," Benderson President Randy Benderson said.
The resurrection comes as competitor Westfield Corp. has once again begun pushing an expansion plan at its Southgate Mall. There, Westfield is hoping to add 30 new inline stores, including the region's first Apple Inc. electronics store.
But neither Nordstrom nor Neiman Marcus -- two retailers whose entrance into Sarasota promised to provide a quality many perceived as missing here -- appear ready to re-commit to University Town Center.
"We're open to continuing discussions depending on how they proceed," said Colin Johnson, a spokesman for Seattle-based Nordstrom. "There's a possibility we would revisit this, but there's nothing definitive as yet."
This year, Nordstrom has opened just one full-line store, in Newark, Del. Additional full-line stores are slated to open this fall in St. Louis and Nashville.
Nordstrom, which has stores in Tampa and Naples and seven other Florida cities, earlier this month said total 2011 sales had grown 6.7 percent year-to-date compared with the same 2010 period.
Neiman Marcus also has seen a spike in sales.
The Dallas-based chain reported operating earnings for the third quarter of its fiscal year, ended April 30, that rose 45 percent to $123.2 million.
Like Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus also operates at International Plaza in Tampa and was brought to University Town Center by Forbes.
Like Nordstrom, the company also remains intrigued by University Town Center.
"We still have an interest in the Sarasota market and we are still in discussions with the developer," Neiman Marcus spokeswoman Ginger Reeder wrote in an email Thursday.
But some retail analysts say that while luxury merchants have rebounded, they remain wary of new, mall-based stores.
"Right now, mall development is dead in the water," said Howard Davidowitz, chairman of Davidowitz & Associates Inc., a New York retail consultant and investment banking firm.
"The luxury sector is booming, so if positioned in the right area, anything is possible," Davidowitz said. "But most of the growth is online or at their discount outlets. That's the reality of the environment."
Green, the Phoenix consultant, contends that Florida's housing crisis, nagging unemployment rate and saturation of retail will prevent retailers from expanding in the state.
"In Florida, retailers are gun shy," Green said. "There's already a lot of retail and there remains a struggling housing market."
Still, Benderson believes the timing is right, especially since construction would take two years.
"The economy is gaining momentum, stores are starting to show definite interest," Chait said. "We're excited about moving the mall forward."
Thanks to their unfortunate ties to witchcraft and the occult, the black cat has been the target of the ultimate feline smear campaign for thousands of years.
Black cats were once thought to be the “familiars” of witches, supernatural entities that assisted witches in their magic, a belief dating back to the Middle Ages. To possess a coal-coated kitty was to suggest that you freely dabbled in black magic. Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Black Cat,” a dark and spooky tale about an ink...
But the many superstitions surrounding black cats may have more to do with the nature of cats than their “special feline powers.” For example, they can often have that “I-can-see-dead-people” look when they stare off into space and their yellow eyes appear to “glow” in the dark. They are also scarily adept at blending ...
The belief that a black cat crossing your path is unlucky is believed to have originated not in North America, but rather in several Eastern European nations including Romania, as well as in India. But while more than a few cultures have viewed black cats as unlucky beasts, just as many consider them to be harbingers o...
Egyptians commonly mummified their family pets, especially black cats, while the Ancient Greeks associated cats with godliness, and believed that Artemis, the goddess of hunting, often took the form of a cat.
Also, among the general cat population, black cats may be the least accident-prone, according to Petplan insurance. The insurance company found that black cats are 15% less likely to be victims of an accident or injury compared to their more colorful kitty counterparts. By contrast, orange cats are twice as likely as t...
But while black cats may be lucky in avoiding accidents, they are not always so fortunate when it comes to being adopted. According to a study by the Journal of Applied Animal Welfare Science, black cats are often the last to be chosen at animal shelters.
