DL Productions is a small, nonprofitable production team in Ohio. It is co-created by Daniel McDannison and Luther Willhoutte. Originally, both created separate movie and game review sites through FreeWebs. The production team then developed, currently now with over 40 movies.
What makes DL Productions so unique is that, not only is it one of the few productions that make animated movies digitally, but no graphic downloads or real-life photography is used.
That's So Maven
The teams first co-product, That's So Maven, was thought to be a parody of That's So Raven. A site was created, www.freewebs.com/thatssomaven , but no movie was ever released. Online puzzles, profiles, and downloads were created, however. "Animaven" was going to be created by Luther Willhoutte afterwards, but the idea was scrapped.
Animated Movies
Both of the two created their own movies. Luther uses the site www.freewebs.com/millionairemovies and YouTube to showcase his movies, while Daniel mainly uses YouTube. Luther is currently working on the Disney Channel Idol series, and most of Daniel's movies focus on the character Billy, including an American Idol spoof, trapped on an island, and other stories.
DL Game Reviews
www.freewebs.com/dlgamereviews was a combination of both Daniel's and Luther's game review sites. The site mainly focuses on Nintendo games, and has over 40 different reviews. It also includes a logo/credit movie, a best/worst section, and polls.
Reception
Between the two, over 25,000 views have been reached on YouTube. They also have had many site views, and are creating new movies almost monthly.

The Redbird Express is a local bus that transports students and other faculty staff around the campus of Illinois State University. The bus system consists of the Redbird Express Campus Shuttle, the NiteRide, and the Late NiteRide. These buses provide free access for all faculty, and students around the community on the Bloomington Normal Public Transit System's fixed bus routes. An Illinois State University Redbird Card is needed for this free access.
Redbird Express Campus Shuttle
The Redbird Express Campus Shuttle provides transportation from 6:45am to 3:45pm on regular scheduled class days during the 2006 summer semester. During the fall and spring semesters of the 2006-2007 year, the Redbird Express provides transportation around campus from 7:30am to 7:00pm on regular scheduled class days. This shuttle consists of two routes. One route runs from Tri-Towers to East Campus, while the other route runs from Atkin/Colby to East Campus. Tri-Towers is the residence dorms that consist of Wilkens Hall, Haynie Hall, and Wright Hall. East Campus is known as the last stop by Watterson Commons. Atkin/Colby are the residence halls located in the center of campus.

Colonization of the North Pole refers to having a permanent human presence at the North Pole.
An idea is to have a North Pole city enclosed under glass domes (Domed city) which would make colonization of the North Pole possible. A light source at the top of the central tower would be an artificial sun during the dark months at the North Pole. However, there are problems:
The sea ice at the North Pole is drifting all the time, in a direction away from Siberia toward Greenland. Soviet and American scientists sometimes set up research stations on the thicker parts of the ice and go with the flow. A station might drift a thousand miles or more during its lifetime.
If glass domes were built on the ice at the North Pole, they wouldn't stay there. They would drift away. If the glass domes were built on the floor of the sea, right smack at the North Pole as an underwater factory that's entered and exitted by submarine also would have problems. The floor of the Arctic Ocean has a tricky way of moving around with respect to the pole. The geographical North Pole is defined as the place where the Earth's spin axis intersects the crust. But the body of the Earth wobbles with respect to the rotation axis (Milankovitch cycles), something an astronomer named Chandler discovered back in 1891. The Earth wobbles like the wheel of a car when a tire gets out of balance.
It's not much of a wobble. The Earth's crust wobbles about the pole in a circle about 50 feet in diameter every 14 months. Still, if a glass dome were built on the floor of the sea, it would wobble too.
There is also plate tectonics. The Earth's solid crust is like a broken eggshell. The pieces of the eggshell, or plates, move this way and that at the rate of an inch or two a year. In a million years or so that can add up to a real change in the address of people living at the North Pole.
And recently it has been suspected that sometimes the Earth gets really out of balance. The tendency is for the heaviest part of the planet to move toward the equator, in response to centrifugal force. Over millions of years, the entire crust and mantle can slip by hundreds or thousands of miles with respect to the axis of rotation. Scientists can now pinpoint the position of the North Pole with an accuracy of a few inches, and they do it by bouncing laser beams off of the moon or artificial satellites, or by comparing the difference in arrival times at several radio telescopes of signals from quasars billions of light years away.
International agreements presently limit activities at the North Pole.

Fareed N. Fareed is a Palestinian-American professor and doctor specializing in emergency medicine, who has dedicated much of his career to improving access to life-saving cardiac treatment in the developing world.
Fareed was born in 1975 to Palestinian immigrants, and was raised in Long Island, New York, but often paid visits to the Palestinian West Bank, where his parents were originally from. He earned his B.A. in Biochemical Sciences from Harvard College in 1997, and then went on to study medicine at the Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons, where he received his medical degree in 2001.
After completing his studies, Fareed became one of the youngest board-certified faculty members at Columbia Medical School, where he currently holds the post of assistant professor in the Health Sciences division. He is also a full-time ER Attending Physician at New York-Presbyterian Hospital in New York City.
In 2007, Fareed launched GlobalACLS, an initiative designed to help disseminate basic and advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) knowledge and skills worldwide by promoting the establishment of international training sites in developing countries. He has performed international emergency medicine work in both Eastern Europe and the Middle East, including the training of Palestinian physicians in the Israeli occupied West Bank through courses offered by the organization Physicians for Peace.
In addition to his international humanitarian work, Fareed is also a National Institutes of Health Research Fellowship Recipient and a member of the Palestine Liaison Committee of the National Arab American Medical Association.
