Al Modem has generated his own website that focuses on alternative music in the Austin, Texas, area. The stylish site lists upcoming concerts and new record releases, provides information about upcoming dances, has music reviews, and features articles about new clubs, local performers and DJs. The site also carries real-time audio feeds from local musical events and permits users of the site to chat with one another periodically. Club owners and concert promoters help Al operate the site by paying a monthly fee to Al for inclusion of promotional pages on the site. A new club, the Chameleon, opened recently and Al got pictures of the opening from a local photographer. He scanned the photos onto the site and used them with a review of the new venue. One of the pictures showed film actor Christian Slater going into the club. The owners of the Chameleon loved the story about the club and the picture of Slater.

A fаmily preservаtiоn prоgrаm directоr helps design a study that evaluates the effectiveness of her program to keep children living with their abusive parents by providing the families with daily home visits by social workers.
