PAGE 2 MAY, 1964 Champions of the World By JULIUS FLIGELMAN If a 25 game winning pitcher, the league lead-ing hitter, and an all star shortstop were to join the Dodgers at one time we would agree t h a t this was great news. Scattered thru this bulletin are three stories that add up equally to a Great Story. 1 refer to the "acquisi-tion" by the University of three star scholar-teachers — Doctor Walter Ack-erman, as Dean of the H e b r e w Teachers College, Mr. Irwin Jospe as Dean of the School of the Fine Arts, and Rabbi Ben Zion Bergman as Dean of Students of the Hebrew Teachers College and Director of pre-rabbinic Training. Three such major additions to our faculty represent a giant step forward. These are the men who will teach our finest youth, provide a scholarly base for Jewish knowledge and who will raise immeasurably the level of Jewish maturity on the West Coast. In adding them to the staff and administration of the University, we are affirming anew our conviction that the University of Judaism can and will continue to grow as a mighty bulwark against apathy, ignorance and assimila-tion. In accepting our invitation these men are casting their vote of confi-dence in the future of our School. A nationally prominent educator, a suc-cessful young rabbi, and a renowned Jewish musical personality have made the decision to merge their future with ours. It exhilarates us and sobers us at the same time. It reminds me most forcefully of the great changes that have taken place in our school. It could never have happened ten years ago. Nor could the Dodgers have been in Los Angeles ten years ago. But now we, like the Dodgers, are destined to become world champions. Of this I am convinced. Documentary (Cont'd) Saul Rubin, who acts as Executive Producer of the film, states, "We all know that there has never before been as exciting and inspiring an institu-tion as the University. Our fascinat-ing task is to show its dynamic growth on film." Many people and events in the University's history will be included in the film, the most recent of which was the naming of Academy Award winner Sidney Poitier to the Honored Artists Council of the Earl Warren Institute, at the University's Founders Day Dinner; the new art gallery and museum which contains many Judaic art treasures; and the library of rare manuscripts and historical documents. The film will be used this Fall in a segment of the University's award winning INSIGHT series, aired lo-cally over KNXT. Additionally, the film will be offered to civic, religious and private groups who wish to know more about the University and its historic past. Persons possessing films depicting the early days of the Uni-versity, are urged to contact the University's television department. Louis Rudolph, of the University's Radio and Television Department, will produce the documentary. The script is being writen by Rudolph, Ezra Stone and Delia Wasserman. News From Northern California Temple Beth Abraham, Oakland, California acted as host for the Joint Boards of Directors of the North-ern California Congregations of Uni-ted Synagogue on April 29. A Semi-nar on "Building Synogogue Leader-ship" was held by Ben J. Lax, Uni-versity Campaign Chairman, with Dr. Abraham Bernstein, President and Steve Singer, Executive Director of the Region, participating. As its annual Synagogue event in behalf of the University of Judaism, Temple Beth Abraham will present "Conversation with the Rabbi" on June 7, at which time Rabbi Harold Schulweis will present as the distin-guished guest speaker, Dr. David Lieber, President of the University. Serving as Co-chairman with Temple President Sam Kasdan will be Vice President Sol Judson and University Patron Herman Hertz. Camp Ramah Roster Rising Camp Ramah is enjoying an un-precedented rise in camper registra-tion. Bolstered by the tandem team of Director Dr. Walter Ackerman, re-turning to his post for the 5th con-secutive year, and Rabbi Zvi Der-showitz, year-round Administrative Di-rector, the program, physical facilities and staff are all falling into place as the 9th Ramah season in California is about to open. There is no substitute for the happy, youthful voices that echo among the hills of Ojai Valley. With Hebrew ac-cents adding color to the afternoon baseball game, or semi-wrinkled brow absorbing a freshly-put idea in an in-formal study group, Ramah becomes a warm experience in the emotional and spiritual building the adult world must provide growing bodies and minds. Noted Author Addresses Patrons Society The noted writer and lecturer, Mau-rice Samuel recently spent an evening with the University's Patrons Society at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Ostrow. Maurice Samuel is generally recog-nized as one of America's outstand-ing men of Jewish letters. He has reached this position of eminence through 19 critically acclaimed books, as well as his translations of the works of such noted authors as Bialik, I. J. Singer, Peretz and Sholem Asch. His lecture tours have taken him thou-sands of miles around the world, to practically every Jewish community between Jordan and the Golden Gate, from Manchester, England to Cape Town, South Africa. Mr. Samuel's latest work is, "Little Did I Know." From time to time, the Patrons So-ciety gathers at the homes of mem-bers to hear illustrious Jewish per-sonalities who help to shape the nature and direction of Jewish life. Mr. Ostrow is Chairman of the Board of Governors of the University's School of Fine Arts. It is indeed a rare combination that in one summer experience a youngster can earn a Red Cross swimming cer-tificate, and at the same time advance himself in his Hebrew School studies. Where else does the very atmosphere breathe with the freshness of Jewish tradition, combined with overnight camping trips and a major crafts and drama program. At Ramah, boys and girls, ages 8 to 16, develop lifelong friendship in an environment of "doing important things," and bring to home and school alike, a renewed sense of values, charged with purpose and di-rection. In order to accomodate the many requests of parents desiring to see the camp, Mr. Nat Genser, Chairman of the Ramah Parents Group an-nounced an OPEN HOUSE on Sun-day, May 31, between 12 noon and 4 p.m. The camp grounds will be open for inspection and families are invited to take the refreshing drive to the camp site. Camper space is rapidly being re-served by parents submiting applica-tions and deposits. Families interested in sending one or more children to Ramah, are asked to submit applica-tions at the earliest possible date to: Camp Ramah, 6525 Sunset Boule-vard, Hollywood, 28, California, or call HO 3-1161. Dr. Linus Pauling Discusses War and Peace Dr. Linus Pauling, recipient of two Nobel Prizes, participated in the last of a series of unique open forums held at the University on Monday evening, April 27th. The forums were a continuation of segments of the ETHICS television series, produced by the University's Earl Warren Institute of Ethics and Human Relations. Paneliests apearing on the program, resumed discussion of the topic before an audience in the University's theatre. Participating in the forum were Dr. Pauling, Phil Kerby, Editor of Fron-tier magazine, and Dr. Robert Levine of the Rand Corporation. Moderator for the evening was Louis Shub, news analyist and Director of the Uni-versity's library. Dr. Mordecai Kaplan To Speak in Los Angeles D r. Mordecai M. Kaplan, spir-itual founder of t h e University, will visit Los An-geles l a t e r this month to address the National Con-ference of Jewish Communal Serv-ice Saturday even-ing, May 30th at Statler Hotel. The topic of Dr. Kap-lan's talk will be "An Agenda For American Jewry." Professor Kaplan first articulated the idea of a University of Judaism in an address delivered on February 4, 1945, to the Teachers Institute of the Jew-ish Theological Seminary of America. During his short stay in the West, Dr. Kaplan will appear on one of the pre-taped episodes of the University's award winning I n s i g h t television series. The program will air this fall over KNXT. Known widely as the founder of Reconstructionism, a movement which conceives of Judaism as an evolving religious civilization, Dr. Kaplan is Professor Emeritus in the Rabbinical Department of the Jewish Theological Seminary of America, parent body of the University. Record of Nazi Atrocities Exhibited at University The University's School of Fine Arts in cooperation with the Committee on Documentation of the American Con-gress of Polish Jews, is presenting an exhibit of Nazi memorabilia. The ex-hibit, open to the public, will be on display at the University's new Art Gallery, throughout the month of May. thorughout the month of May.

The inscription on the base of the clock reads, "To Linus Pauling—noble soul, dedicated servant of the truth and courageous fighter for peace." MAY, 1964 PAGE 3 Editorial — The University's School of Fine Arts By DR. MAX VORSPAN P e o p l e ask, Why a School of the Arts at the University of Ju-daism? And they buttress the gen-eral question with a variety of speci-fics. 1. Haven't the arts always been secondary in Jew-ish life? Judaism stresses knowledge, study and observance of its historical tradition. Our school rightly teaches Bible, Talmud, Theology, He-brew, etc. But what important roles have drama, dance, music and the plastic arts played in our long history that we should be concerned about them now. 2. What is Jewish about the Arts? Even if we wanted to cultivate the arts for Jewish life, we couldn't. The Jewish element in painting, dance, drama is so vague and so minuscule that we would hardly be waranted in searching for it. No wonder no other school of the Arts exists today in a Jewish institution. 3. Can we afford the luxury? At a time when the University is pressed for the minimum funds neces-sary to built a faculty for its graduate school and Hebrew teachers college, when it requires expansion of its library and adult education program, how can we spend our precious mite on the luxury of the strictly secondary? These are good questions that de-serve extended answers. We must, however, content ourselves with re-marks as pithy as the questions. 1. The Arts have been important in Jewish life. Perhaps our ancestors did not know of the Arts as a separate category but art as aesthetics, imagery, symbolism, expression of feeling have always been integral to Jewish life. What are the Passover Seder and the book of Job if not dreams; lighting of the Shabbat Candles and the search for Chometz if not vivid symbolism; our magnifi-cent nature psalms and the Lecho dodi prayer if not vibrant imagery; the prayer of the Ten Martyrs or Bialik, if not artistic expressions of deepest emotions. Art to me is life felt deep-ly, conceived dramatically, articulated symbolically and interpreted with imagery. Remove art from Judaism and the residue will be drab, color-less, bland, devoid of feeling or beauty. 2. We must cultivate the artistic element in Judaism. Granted that we do not know what is Jewish about a painting, we must cultivate Jews who have the desire to express themselves in painting; granted that we are not sure of what is Jewish about Jewish music, we must raise a generation of youth that will want to sing and dance and who will compose songs and dances to meet that want. A people that feels its own existence will want to express that feeling in art forms; a people that cultivates its art will have a greater desire to maintain its own existence. We can no longer allow our artists to develop by accident of Jewish environ-ment. The shtetle that produced Chagall no longer exists. We must now nurture those talents in the environ-ment that we create. 3. We cannot affort not to teach the Arts at the University of Judaism. I do not conceive of the Arts as a luxury. A magnificent drama, a stirr-ing poem set to music, a lovely kiddush cup, a trenchant novel, a new melody to Ein Kelohenu, are of the sum and substance, warp and woof of Jewish life. They will provide its vitality and its aliveness. They will be its public image and its private depth of feeling. Our ultimate concern at the University of Judaism is not learn-ing in its narrow sense but Jewish life in its broadest sense. The Arts provide a major avenue to that life. We can-not afford not to traverse that high-way. Israeli Dance Troupe Holds Recitals The Carmel Dance Company, newly formed professional dance troupe of the University's School of Fine Arts presented its initial performance on Saturday evening, May 9th, at the University's new theatre. The C o m p a n y is comprised of dancers from Israel who have per-formed in International Folk Dance festivals in Moscow, E u r o p e and Israel. Among them are dancers who have studied at and graduated from the University's dance department. The program presented was divided into four parts: Biblical, Chassidic, Yemenite and Modern Israel.

Mr. Dassa is cur-rently teaching folk dance at the University of Judaism for both lay-men and professionals. In addition to the performance on May 9th, a special Mother's Day pro-gram for teenagers, young children and Mothers was presented on Sun-day afternoon, May 10th. Erwin Jospe Named Dean Of School of Fine Arts G l im a xing a year's search for a successor to the late Max Helf-man, t h e Uni-versity's School of Fine Arts has an-nounced the ap-p o i n t m e n t of Erwin J o s p e as D e a n of t h e School.

Com-menting on the appointment of Mr. Jospe, Mr. Ostrow said, "to find a person with the particular capabilities, talents and academic background to be able to administer a school unique of its kind, required a thorough investi-gation of all p o s s i b l e candidates throughout the United States and Israel.

National Women's League President Bids Farewell Mr*. Jules Wail "Representing National Wom-en's Leagueonthe Board of Over-seers of the Uni-versity of Juda-ism for the past two years is one of the special pri-vileges accorded to me as Presi-dent of the Paci-fic S o u t h w est Branch of Na-tional Women's League," stated Mrs. Jules Wail as her term of office draws to a close.

Acetaminophen overdose is one of the most common poisonings worldwide. People often think that this medicine is very safe. However, it may be deadly if taken in large doses.
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or 1-800-222-1222 for a local poison control center near you.
Tylenol overdose; Paracetamol overdose
Acetaminophen is found in a variety of over-the-counter and prescription pain relievers.
Tylenol is a brand name for acetaminophen. Other medicines that contain acatominophen include:
Note: This list is not all inclusive.
Common dosage forms and strengths:
*mg = milligrams
You should not take more than 4000 mg of acetaminophen a day. Taking more, especially 7000 mg or more, can lead to a severe overdose if not treated.
Note: Symptoms may not occur until 12 or more hours after the acetaminophen was swallowed.
There is no home treatment. Seek immediate medical help.
Determine the following information:
In the United States, call 1-800-222-1222 to speak with a local poison control center. This hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.This is a free and confidential service.

The health care provider will measure and monitor the patient's vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. Blood tests will be done to check how much acetaminophen is in the blood. The patient may receive:
If treatment is received within 8 hours of the overdose, there is a very good chance of recovery.
However, without rapid treatment, a very large overdose of acetaminophen can lead to liver failure and death in a few days.

Education needs to change. In order for an industry to change, it needs to somehow change itself or be forced to change by its customers.
Top-down changes are driven by an industry itself, for example via innovation. When Apple introduced the iPhone, the phone industry changed from the top-down. Bottom-up changes are driven by the customers of an industry, for example when their behaviors change. As more people discovered the convenience of pirating music online, the music industry changed from the bottom-up.
Industries can cause customers to change, or customers can cause industries to change. The outcome is the same in both cases—an industry and its customers have changed—but the direction of causality is reversed.
Bottom-up changes can be particularly potent in entrenched industries where baggage and bureaucracy breed complacency. Education is arguably one of our most important yet entrenched industries. Like the music industry before it, it's ripe for some bottom-up change.
What if some forms of cheating at school are like pirating music: unfair, unsustainable, but ultimately disruptive? Consider some of the ways people can cheat these days:
- Groups secretly work together on assignments despite being instructed to work individually. People want to collaborate. Education technology should facilitate collaboration.
- Online sources are plagiarized or solutions are purchased. People want to remix, not recreate. Education technology should automate attribution and celebrate remixing. Original content creation is still important, but it can come later after students have learned more.
- Google and Wikipedia can defeat questions in online tests. People want to search, not memorize. Education technology should embrace instant searching. Regurgitation sucks.
Students, cheaters, and entrepreneurs
I don't condone cheating, but I think I understand it. It's lazy, but it's also efficient. Time is a valuable resource. Cheaters shift that resource out of lower and into higher productivity and greater yield (if only for the short-term). This is also one way to define an entrepreneur.
Yet students typically bear no resemblance to entrepreneurs or employees or anyone associated with companies.
Imagine a company whose employees have the ultimate goal of solving a certain problem. While solving this problem (which is made up by their boss), they're forbidden from working together or communicating in any way. They can't outsource or use other people's technologies or ideas. They can't use any technology or tools at all, actually. Except for a pen and pencil.
That's the typical environment into which we thrust students when we send them to be judged by their exam solutions. We give them a contrived problem with absurd rules; it seems unsurprising that some of them cheat.
Adapt or die
Bottom-up change has a certain Darwinian inevitability about it. But if cheaters are indeed the new pirates, it might take awhile for us to spot the trend. The first sign will be underground technologies that put the students who use them in a grey area that is questionable yet somehow right. This could already be happening somewhere.
These tools, the Napsters of the education industry, will offer paths to learning that are so efficient, low cost, and convenient that the education industry as we know it will be forced to adapt or die.

From "binders full of women" to Clint Eastwood's empty chair, here are some of the best memes of the 2012 election.
In March, senior Romney advisor Eric Fehrnstrom caught flack after evoking the Etch-A-Sketch to describe how his candidate would adjust to the general election. Not long after, Rick Santorum and fellow GOP candidates used the famous draw-and-erase board as a prop during rallies.

A Charrette for the Inland Empire Utilities Agency
In September 2001, the Inland Empire Utilities Agency (IEUA) asked TreePeople to organize a charrette for the agency's new headquarters south of Chino. The IEUA wanted the facility to reflect a sustainable approach to stormwater management and landscaping, while providing open space and recreational opportunities for the community.
The specific demonstration projects envisioned for the site fell into four categories: energy efficiency, energy technologies, stormwater retention and irrigation with recycled water.
The site and the workload were divided among three teams. One team dealt with the buildings, one with a proposed multipurpose park, and one with the tributary watershed north of the property. The Agency's desire to be a regional leader in resource conservation impelled the teams to consider recharging stormwater runoff at the site by:
- Using drought-tolerant species and landscaping techniques
- Irrigating with stormwater and with recycled water from the adjacent treatment plant
- Minimizing energy use and the heat island effect with strategic tree planting
The three teams of engineers, planners, landscape architects and city officials suggested approaches and developed preliminary designs that were then used by the Agency's landscape architecture consultants in drawing up final plans for the facility.
The completed buildings and grounds now demonstrate sustainable development to agencies, builders and individuals – development that begins to address regional environmental problems, rather than contributing to them.
View the project summary, here.

I actually chose to join here as opposed to other conspiracy-related communities because I trusted the site owner(s) more and thought it was a more reasonable and honest website. And I still think it is.
HOWEVER... don't you think asking for people's address and full name and all that on sign up is a bit unnecessary, particularly given the sensitive nature of what might be discussed?

A powerful earthquake has struck off Japan's north-eastern coast, shaking buildings in Tokyo and forcing people out of their homes, witnesses said.
Japan issued its most serious tsunami warning, saying a wave as high as 6m (20ft) could strike the coast near Miyagi prefecture.
US officials said the 8.8-magnitude quake struck about 250 miles (400km) from Tokyo at a depth of 20 miles.
TV pictures showed a wave crashing into the Pacific coast.
The surge of water carried cars and ships as it surged through a coastal town.
Japanese television has shown major tsunami damage in northern Japan, following an earthquake that has been upgraded to 8.8.
Public broadcaster NHK showed cars, trucks, houses and buildings being swept away by the tsunami in Onahama city in Fukushima prefecture.
Scores of cars were seen floating in Iwate prefecture harbour, local TV said.
Japan earlier issued its top tsunami warning in response to the major offshore earthquake, which strongly swayed buildings 400 kilometres away in Tokyo and sent people fleeing onto the streets.
The meteorological agency issued its top-level evacuation alerts for the entire Japanese coast, Russia and the Mariana Islands, the Pacific Tsunami Warning Centre said.
The quake was initially measured as a magnitude 7.9 but was upgraded.
It warned of a tsunami of up to six metres. Smaller tsunamis of up to 50cm reached some coastal communities, the agency said.
Know more? Send information and photos to 0414 284 637 or email them here.
The quake struck about 382km northeast of Tokyo, offshore, the US Geological Survey reported.
Smoke could be seen rising from a building in Tokyo port.
Shinkansen bullet trains stopped when the quake struck, while Tokyo port has shut all 19 of its water gates as it prepares for the tsunami.
Japan's Coast Guard is halting ships on their way to entering Tokyo's port,said Takashi Mifune, spokesman for the Bureau of Port and Harbor of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.
Japan's meteorological agency said the quake struck at 2.46pm (4.46pm AEDST) local time at a depth of 10km, 125km off the eastern coast.
Footage on national broadcaster NHK from their Sendai office showed employees stumbling around and books and papers crashing from desks.
Police and coast guard officials said they were assessing possible damage from the quake.
The yen tumbled against the dollar after the quake, falling to 83.30 against the dollar from 82.81 before the quake struck.
Several quakes had hit the same region in recent days, including a 7.3 magnitude one on Wednesday.
The Joint Australian Tsunami Warning Centre said there was no tsunami threat to Australia.

Cooking with Moda Bake Shop
This is kind of a BIG quilt. About 84" x 84" - but it comes together really quickly for a bigger project.
The fabulous quilting on this quilt was done by my friend and co-worker at American Quilting in Orem, Utah, Becky Heslop. She did an AMAZING job. Thanks again Becky! If you're local, the quilt is hanging at AQ right now. And a limited number of kits will be available at American Quilting soon.
Head over to Moda Bake Shop to see the tutorial. I would love to get your thoughts, feelings, vehement opinions, violent reactions, whatever you've got for me.

firstname.lastname@example.com Studios @ SIGGRAPH 2014: Day 3
The day started with a fab lesson from the guys that make Fabric Engine, a new procedural software for making tools for any 3D or 2D app, all accelerated on the GPU, very cool and exciting stuff; apparently it is the ice development team from the now defunct softimage. Lots of the big post houses have already adopted this software as an easier way of making tools and plugins.
Escape Studios @ SIGGRAPH 2014: Day 2
Another great day at SIGGRAPH, we were up early for a meet and greet with educators in VFX, and discussions on how to teach VFX in the classroom and online. We then had a great panelled discussion on how to transition from a VFX Artist to a Teacher. The panel had some great Artists from ILM and top American Universities.

1000 frames per second in full HD? Now that's a camera!

That's off the wall!
Happy Friday everyone! Here's a real interesting music video by Electro artist Yuksek, for his song "Off The Wall",

Photoshop Prank!
I do love a practical joke, and this one – played on unsuspecting people at a bus stop, is just downright awesome!

Something different for your viewing pleasure – ingenious Polish artist Marta Klonowska creates these amazing sculptures from glass, ever seen anything like it? I want one!
It's paper, but not as you know it...
We're fans of art all across the spectrum here at Escape, and these sculptures, created by Chinese artist Li Hongbo are rather mind boggling.
What appears upon first viewing, to be a set or porcelain sculpted heads, are actually a set of heads that are crafted out of thousands of layers of soft white paper,
A form that was originally used to make Chinese toys and decorations – book editor and designer Li Hongbo, became intrigued by their form and took the medium to another level. Check out this site for videos and snaps!

Just when you thought Hollywood couldn't create VFX on a larger scale than Cloverfield or Transformers, this trailer is released, for 'Pacific Rim', and it really takes the biscuit!

Check out this trailer and if you plan to go to see this at the cinema, be sure to prepare yourself for some bone crushingly epic VFX sequences.
"The world gives us garbage, we give back music"
Given this year's economic climate, you may have found yourself sewing up a pesky hole in your jeans rather than buying a new pair, or whacking another jumper on in lieu of the central heating.
Old School Toys (we mean really old school!)
Forget microscopic hyper intelligent computer chips. modern technology? I laugh in the face of modern technology (for a moment anyway) - you will too after watching some of these mechanical toys from yesteryear, they are simply amazing

Think it's CG? Think Again...
Special effects with computer graphics are all the rage recently. There are very few films produced these days without jaw dropping stunts courtesy of the digital department. But a lot of directors still prefer to shoot the real thing if they can as it nearly always looks better than the CG equivalent.
Dedication Required
Ever wondered how much you change in the space of 4.5 years? Would you take a photo of yourself every single day and then animate it?

Yesterday Maurice Sendak, author and illustrator of the children's classic book Where The Wild Things Are, died.

If "Jaws" was a Disney Movie!
Have you ever wondered what would've happened if the script for Jaws was developed by Disney execs rather than Universal Pictures? Well, wonder no longer. For your entertainment on this rather gloomy Monday afternoon, I wanted to share this hilarious concept with you all. Found on YouTube earlier, take a look at a Disney'fied trailer of the 1975 classic. Spielberg possibly missed out on a golden opportunity here for a PG remake.

Fastest, Slowest Camera Ever
Have I got a treat in store for you today!... It has caused a real stir among us tutors at Escape Studios, and we could talk of nothing else yesterday morning.
Mimicking Tilt-Shift in AfterEffects
My cousin - David Itzcovitz - went to Israel last month and he took a series of photos, which he then processed to give this strange look. The process he mimicked in After Effects is called tilt-shift and is usually achieved by using a tilt-shift lens (lensbaby). This puts the focal plane at a strange angle to the film and as a result, you get this strange depth of field effect which makes big things seem like miniatures.
Great Use of Mocap: Human Paint
I have been developing a new course here at Escape called VFX Animation Professional.

A couple of us tutors at Escape Studios like to go to Wormwood Scrubs (yes near the Prison) to fly model aircrafts with cameras on.
Free Maya Tutorial - Creating Realistic Materials
If you want to replicate the complexity of real world objects, you need to create materials that mimic them and this month's free tutorial will show you exactly how to do that. A car body is made up of lots of materials or layers, like metal and paint. If you want to create a rusty car you'll need more materials to create the common signs of deterioration. Many Maya users will be familiar with the 'layered shader' and 'layered texture' nodes. This tutorial asks what happens if you are using the MIA material and rendering in Mental Ray.
Motion Capture For the Masses
Here is an amazing use of Xbox Kinect or PlayStation EyeToy: desktop motion capture!

Disney Release Source Code for Partio

10 minutes before my draft started tonight.....a severe stomach cramp hit and I had to make an emergency entry in the crumple or fold thread.
3 minutes later(t-minus 7 minutes to draft time) I get a knock on the bathroom door telling me there is a geyser in the front yard.
2 minutes before draft time I am reaching around in a deep puddle of water finding where to turn the water off at the meter.
1 minute before draft time I tell my wife to get a plumber on the way I have a draft to pick. That bought me an hour of peaceful drafting before I had to divide my attention again. Couldn't have happened on a worse night.
Of local interest, I landed Tom Brady and Wes Welker.
