'School of Rock': 10-year class reunion

“Now raise your goblet of rock. It’s a toast to those who rock!” Last night the Austin Film Society hosted a 10th anniversary screening of Richard Linklater’s hard-rocking crowd pleaser School of Rock. Mr. Schneee S.’s whole class came to party, from now heavy weight Nickelodeon star Miranda Cosgrove to Robert Tsai (“You’re a fat loser and you have body odor”) to the back-up singers (Maryam Hassan, Caitlin Hale, Aleisha Allen). Jack Black held court during the terrifically freewheeling Q&A after the screening. When a fan asked him for a song, Black broke into an extended verse of “Legend of the Rent” complete with caterwauling and high kicks.

Ten years later and all the kids turned out alright. Many had graduated from college. Some wanted back in the business. Cosgrove, the biggest star of all the kids, said that she’s seen The Rolling Stones in concert ten times. Joey Gaydos Jr. (who played the guitarist Zack) and Kevin Clark (who played the drummer Freddie) are both in bands, living in Detroit and Chicago respectively. Robert Tsai, who played the supremely lovable nerd Lawrence, and who recently graduated from Dartmouth, got the biggest applause of the whole night. (The sweet and shy 22-year-old appears to have ditched out on the above reunion photo.) He was also the only person up there on stage in full suit and tie. At the end of the evening, under much pressure to recreate the improvised handshake he shared with Lawrence  in the film, Black and Tsai pulled it off and enjoyed a charmingly awkward embrace.

Black says he and screenwriter Mike White still kick around talk of a sequel. “Never say never,” says Black. “It’s tough for me because it’s the best movie I’ve ever done. You get sensitive about the thing. But yeah it’s possible.”

They'll share the trends, colors and silhouettes viewers can expect to see on TV this season, and offer inside information about the series they clothe.

(CNN) -- For a group of high-schoolers being framed for their friend's murder, the characters on "Pretty Little Liars" sure put a lot of thought into their outfits.

It's like costume designer Mandi Line says: Why be conservative about hemlines and heel heights on a show where a teacher is dating a student and a drunk girl can't remember if she dug up her friend's dead body?

"We always go down this whole list of things every time (the producers) call me out with, 'Those heels are a little high,' " said Line, who has worked on the ABC Family series since its first season, which premiered in 2010.

Fall TV Fashion: 'Revenge'

Costume designer Mandi Line attends an Academy of Television Arts & Sciences reception in Los Angeles.Viewers only have to wait until October 23 for the show's anticipated Halloween special. And Line says fashion lovers are in for a treat when the third season returns.

Emily, the queen of simple tank tops and tees, will really step up her game; Hanna's skirts are getting a little bit shorter; Aria continues to push the envelope; and a new, top-secret storyline influences Spencer's wardrobe.

But when you're dealing with characters who routinely wind up with blood on their hands -- that's literally and figuratively -- plucking looks off the runway isn't always an option.

Just a few episodes ago, Hanna (Ashley Benson) was stabbed in the leg while wearing a pair of neon pink pants. Line said her team had to "do a lot of driving" to find at least four identical pairs for multiple scenes and takes. The blood just wouldn't have shown up as well against blue jeans, she said.

"I try not to make it inconvenient for (my team)," Line added, though she recently had to track down five of the same $150 shirt. Hanna gets a drink spilled on her while wearing it in an upcoming episode.

Line said dressing main characters Emily, Spencer, Aria and Hanna like typical high school students would be boring, adding, you can't blame viewers for "wanting to go to some sort of fantasyland."

"One of the things that's hilarious is that Mandi, she'll pick such amazing costumes that they're, at times, hilariously inappropriate for what we're doing," said Troian Bellisario, who plays Spencer on the series. "Our school outfits are outrageous. Sometimes we're all standing together in the hallways, and we'll look around at all of our background actors who look like normal high school students. And we kind of make a joke, like, no wonder nobody talks to us in this school because we literally look so out of place."

Never mind the disconnect between the main characters and the background actors, typically clad in pieces from Forever 21 and Wet Seal, Line said. The costume designer can hardly believe Aria, Hanna, Spencer and Emily are best friends given their distinctive styles: "I always wonder why, fashionwise, they would even talk to each other."

Bellisario, whose character Spencer dresses the preppiest of the bunch, says, "When you start out on a TV show ... the network really wants you to have a strict character style so that at any point in the show, your character is identifiable from the back side. ... It's really important on a show with three brunettes."

But as the characters evolve, so do their styles.

"(Spencer is) not that girl you were introduced to in the argyle sweater and the pearls in the pilot," Line said. The one thing that has stuck with Spencer, however, is the skinny watch she always wears an inch or two above her wrist.

"At the beginning of every day, I get to walk in and somebody hands me my watch and that's how I know it's Spencer Time," said Bellisario. It was her idea for Spencer to wear the timepiece in the first place.

And that's not the only way the actress' style has influenced her character's.

"I dislike color in general, especially pastels," Bellisario said. "I think the way (Line) always compromises with me is, I love knee socks, like thigh high socks, in everyday life. And tights. And so whenever she gives me something that I'm not happy about on top, she's like, 'Look, I'll give you tights and boots.' "

Though, she said there is a bit of style envy when it comes to her costars.

"Whenever I walk into the costume fitting room, I'll see something on a rack or on the floor and I'll ooh and ahh over it," she said. "And immediately Mandi will say, 'No, that's Aria's.' (Actress) Lucy (Hale) definitely, definitely has the most fun in terms of style on the show. She gets the coolest clothes."

Line said she used to think that Aria, played by Hale, was the most fashionable of the girls, but now she just considers the character to have "schizophrenia fashion."

"One episode is stripes, there's an episode where she's a rockabilly. And then this one she looks like a flapper. Literally, she's so inconsistent. ... The only thing that's consistent is that she wears, like, 1,000 pounds of jewelry," Line said.

The character popped up in the summer finale wearing a metallic blue, pleated leather skirt from Topshop that Line modified. "That's not in. But it's going to be," she said. "These kids do become (fashion icons)."

And Jessica Simpson knows it. Shortly after the singer/actress/designer tweeted in June about sending the show "some @JSCollection goodies," Line said she received a box with "a crap load of stuff."

The costume designer acknowledges that many teens are likely not wearing Jeffrey Campbell wedges, Rag and Bone jeans or Vince sweaters to school, which is why she makes an effort "to stay within some sort of a realistic price point."

" 'Gossip Girl' put TV fashion on the map. You had 'Sex and the City' and then you had 'Gossip Girl.' But what's really good about 'Pretty Little Liars' is, 75% of the items are attainable. ... You can save up for that Free People top. You can save up for that Rachel Roy dress," she said.

That's part of the reason she said she loves featuring Rebecca Minkoff's designs on the show. And Minkoff told CNN that the brand's unofficial partnership with the series has certainly been beneficial.

During the show's second season, Minkoff said one of the characters referenced her red minibag by name. "From there we noticed a definite uptick in sales," she added.

Minkoff said her fall offerings include "a lot of embossed, faux python" handbags, "great outerwear pieces" and a ton of "rich burgundy and purple" -- so don't be surprised to see such trends show up on "Pretty Little Liars" this fall.

Line said it didn't take her long to realize what the series was capable of, having heard from viewers who watch each episode twice: First for the plot points, and then again for the fashion.

After all, it's not surprising that Line says she has "creative freedom" on set. Anyone who can glue craft pom poms on a brown maxiskirt from a rental house, pair it with a pink blouse and make it look fashion-forward deserves at least that much.

Memorial held for 7 killed in Oakland school shooting

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Civic and religious leaders in Oakland are mourning the deaths of seven people who were gunned down in one the nation's deadliest campus shootings in years.

Several hundred people gathered Tuesday night for a prayer vigil for the victims of Monday's shooting at Oikos University, a small Christian school in Oakland.

Mayor Jean Quan joined pastors from the Bay Area's Korean Christian community in calling for unity and an end to violence at the service at the Allen Temple Baptist Church.

The service was attended by friends, family and colleagues of the victims whose identities were officially released Tuesday.

Not long after the mass shooting, police arrested 43-year-old One Goh at a supermarket several miles away in Alameda.

Goh is being held without bail on suspicion of seven counts of murder, three counts of attempted murder and other charges.

Graduate School Debt Often Curtails Plans of Nonprofit Work (U.S. News & World Report)

The Project on Student Debt's recently released report, titled "Student Debt and the Class of 2009," estimates that college seniors in 2009 graduated with an average of $24,000 in student loan debt. For those continuing on to obtain advanced and professional degrees, the situation is even more dire. For example, the American Bar Association's Legal Education Statistics for the academic year 2008-2009 indicate that the average amount borrowed by law school graduates attending public school is $66,045 and by private law school graduates is $100,002.

Put these grim statistics next to the fact that salaries for public service and government positions are stagnant, and you have an alarming trend: Many people who want to work in public service jobs will not be able to afford to pursue those careers.

[Read 10 things to know about applying for a nonprofit job.]

In 2002, Equal Justice Works, the National Association for Law Placement, and the Partnership for Public Service conducted a study "From Paper Chase to Money Chase: Law School Debt Diverts Road to Public Service" which found that law school debt prevented 66 percent of student respondents from considering a public interest job or government job. For example, entry-level civil legal aid lawyers earn on average $40,000 according to the NALP 2008 Public Sector and Public Interest Attorney Salary Report. Repayment under the standard 10-year plan, which would require a monthly payment of approximately $863, would be virtually impossible at that income level. Even under a 30-year repayment plan, the approximate monthly payment would be nearly $500 per month.

[Get tips and tools for managing student loans.]

Similarly, an ABA Commission on Loan Repayment and Forgiveness report, "Lifting the Burden: Law Student Debt as a Barrier to Public Service," came to the following conclusions:

-- As law school tuitions and student debt have sharply escalated, fewer and fewer law school graduates can afford to take comparatively low-paying public service positions.

-- Many law graduates who take public service legal jobs must leave after they gain two to three years of experience, just at the point when they have gained enough experience to provide valuable services to their employers and clients.

-- Public service employers report serious difficulty recruiting and retaining lawyers and have vacancies they cannot fill because new law graduates cannot afford to work for them.

These repercussions are not limited to the legal profession. Numerous professions demand advanced and professional degrees but do not provide salaries that reflect the educational debt graduates take on to obtain them. Examples include teachers, medical students who want to help their communities as primary care physicians instead of becoming specialists and, in many cases, government employees.

What are the consequences if graduates forego public service and government work?

For individuals, including some of the most energetic, entrepreneurial, and brightest of every generation, it entails deferring or giving up altogether their dreams of giving back to their communities at a nonprofit, a school, or in government.

On a social level, it means government and nonprofits are unable to recruit and retain people to do public service work. This means that fewer people will be working--to give a few examples--to improve education, preserve the environment, care for the sick and elderly, protect communities as prosecutors and police, or aid the underprivileged as civil legal aid attorneys. When these positions are unfilled, it is ultimately the poorest and most vulnerable among us who suffer the most.

Fortunately, in 2007 Congress passed the College Cost Reduction and Access Act of 2007 (CCRAA). Its two primary components, Income-Based Repayment and Public Service Loan Forgiveness, form the most powerful federal loan repayment assistance program in a generation.

Income-Based Repayment is a repayment plan that can substantially reduce the monthly student loan payments on federal loans. Public Service Loan Forgiveness provides complete forgiveness of any remaining Federal Direct loans after an individual has made 120 qualifying monthly loan payments while working in a qualifying public service position. Working in tandem, IBR and PSLF have the potential to relieve the burden of tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in educational debt for individuals committed to public service work.

Will CCRAA provide an opportunity for a new generation to engage in higher levels of public service? If CCRAA had been available when you graduated, would it have changed your decision about where to work? And for those of you about to graduate or who have recently graduated, will it enable you take the job of your dreams? Or does more need to be done?
