Born June 3, 1947 in Long Beach CA, Dykstra had artistic leanings as a child, which led to an interest in drawing and photography. The son of a mechanical engineer, he also found himself exposed to nuts and bolts as well. By the age of 9, Dykstra was already experimenting with his own camera, a Brownie Hawkeye. After graduating high school, Dykstra was still unsure of a career path, until a course counselor at Cal State, Long Beach suggested that he focus on industrial design. Dykstra plunged himself into his new course of study. Though he enjoyed learning about design theory, Dykstra grew bored and frustrated with its practical application. To provide an outlet for his restless imagination, Dykstra began dabbling in motion picture photography and made his first 16mm film with the help of a corporate grant. He later admitted in interviews that he was struck by the idea that a single photograph was not always the best representation of reality, while a manipulated photography might better capture a sense of truth - a philosophy not always embraced by his instructors.
But Dykstra's curious mind and developing skills were appreciated by Douglas Trumbull, the special effects expert behind the groundbreaking visuals in Stanley Kubrick's "2001: A Space Odyssey" (1968). On the lookout for young and inexpensive talent, Trumbull hired Dykstra for his science fiction film "Silent Running" (1972), the story of a lone astronaut (Bruce Dern), who tends an interstellar botanical garden containing Earth's last remaining vegetation. While the budget and resources were far less than Kubrick's sci-fi masterpiece, the creation of the effects were a crucial stepping stone for young American artists eager to create other worlds and dazzling visuals for the screen. In later years, the film appeared dated - thanks in part to the stiff and slow moving ships - leading Dykstra to recognize that a better fluidity and dynamic of movement could be accomplished by the camera, instead of the models themselves. Most effects shot included different film elements - models, painted backgrounds, even actors themselves - all photographed separately, but made to appear in the same shot at once. Because of the unique criteria for each shot - lighting, lenses, camera speed - it was crucial for the camera to replicate its moves with exact precision in order for the elements to match, a process known as motion control.
Around the time he pursued a project on the subject of motion control for a research institute in Berkeley, Dykstra came to the attention of filmmaker George Lucas, who was preparing to make "Star Wars." Lucas and his producing partner Gary Kurtz had ambitious plans for their space fantasy. They hoped to depict spaceships diving and spiraling around with the dexterity of fighter planes, something that could only be accomplished with the very camera system that Dykstra had envisioned. Dykstra landed the job and walked into an inventor's dream - an empty warehouse in California's San Fernando Valley with only a card table, a phone and a few million dollars for development. Dykstra immediately set himself to work. While it was later common knowledge that "Star Wars" revolutionized special effects, lesser known was the tension that existed between Dykstra and Lucas behind the scenes. Dykstra knew that the only way to accomplish the 350-odd visual effects for the movie was to not simply rely on constructing spaceship models and miniature environments, but to build from scratch the cameras, lenses and projectors needed to photograph them. Lucas, on the other hand, vehemently disagreed.
Inside the building that housed the first home base of the world-famous Industrial Light & Magic, Dykstra and his cohorts began to build everything - including offices - from the ground up. The sheer scale of the enterprise was daunting, but exhilarating. Most employees at the time were fresh out of college, with skills ranging from engineering and machine making to design and illustration (the company skirted union concerns when representatives concluded that the strange work being done was outside their expertise and interest.) The nearly all-boys crew regularly held custom-built pool parties in the middle of the afternoons, watched porn along with dailies, and pranced around shirtless and in ratty shorts, thank to the 120-degree temperatures that summer. Though Dykstra was the boss, he made sure have his share of fun - tire tracks left on the concrete floor were from his motorcycle, which he rode in circles before the offices were built. Ever the prankster, Dykstra infamously smashed a refrigerator to the ground with a forklift to howls of laughter at the exact moment studio executives from 20th Century Fox arrived to check on their progress.
Because of the raucous environment, Lucas was upset with the lack of actual work being completed. After a full year, the company had exactly one special effects shot to show for itself - a relatively low-key scene of a shuttlecraft descending from its moorings. Lucas routinely clashed heads with Dykstra over his slow pace and lack of productivity. But Dykstra - while citing the stressful environment - was confident that the team would accomplish its goals. Indeed, the collegial atmosphere helped foster a sense of trust and dedication among the technicians, many of whom - including Dennis Muren, Richard Edlund and Joe Johnston - would go on to acclaimed work in effects and filmmaking of their own. Once the ball was rolling, the talented crew turned out breathtaking effects that stood out by leaps and bounds from anything that had come before. Dykstra would eventually go on to win two Academy Awards, one for Best Visual Effects, the other for Technical Achievement in creating the Electronic Motion Control System used in the visual effects photography. In an ironic twist, Dykstra won his Oscar over mentor Doug Trumbull, who was nominated that same year for "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" (1977).
Despite their success together, Dykstra and Lucas parted ways after "Star Wars" was completed. Dykstra moved on to found his own company, Apogee Productions, which had its first job on the television series, "Battlestar Galactica" (ABC, 1978-79), where he also served as a producer. Unlike its reincarnation decades later, the original series - while conceived years before - appeared unabashed in its attempts to capitalize on the success of "Star Wars," especially in regard to the effects and designs by Dykstra. Building on an already established learning curve, Dykstra and crew were able to turn out shots never before seen on television, some which even rivaled their big screen cousin. But the time and budget constraints of a weekly series started to show through. Dykstra became disappointed when the show's producers started to overuse his effects as stock shots, running them so many times over that even young viewers took derisive notice. After a slide in the ratings, and lawsuits between 20th Century Fox, Lucas and Universal over the similarities of their works, "Battlestar" was cancelled after its first season.
Dykstra remained busy, however, thanks to renewed interest in science fiction and fantasy. After an original deal to do effects on the film "Altered States" fell through, Dykstra was called by Trumbull, who had been hired to help complete the effects on "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" (1979). Among other things, Dykstra and his company contributed the opening attack sequence on a trio of three Klingon cruisers flying in formation, complete with an overhead shot functioning almost as inverted version of his Star Destroyer sequence. Over the next several years, Dykstra's Apogee provided a lightning storm and a pesky gopher to "Caddyshack" (1980), created a spectacular outerspace docking maneuver between two space shuttles for director Tobe Hooper's sci-fi vampire film "Lifeforce" (1985), put a retro spin on Hooper's remake of the 1950s cult classic "Invaders from Mars," (1986) and even spoofed themselves in the Mel Brooks parody, "Spaceballs" (1987), replacing traditional spaceships with an intergalactic Winnebago.
Aside from a steady stream of projects and commercials, Dykstra himself continued to innovate, perfecting the "reverse bluescreen" process for Clint Eastwood's military thriller "Firefox." Once again, Dykstra found himself at the forefront of technological innovation. While traditional bluescreen involved placing a person or model against a solid blue background, enabling a post-production process to replace the blue field with a separate image, Dykstra covered the object in blue material - in this case, a top secret Russian fighter jet - to better enable composition. The reverse bluescreen had astounding results: the fighter jet was projected onto a background previously avoided because of less-than-forgiving photographic errors and imperfections that resulted - namely the obvious outline of the object against the background. So instead of being limited to the darkness of space, Dykstra's innovation allowed a seamless projection onto a light blue sky or snowy mountain. Despite the advance in technology, the film itself suffered modest box office returns. Meanwhile, Dykstra was also heavily involved in a video game tie-in to the movie.
For the next few years, Dykstra provided visual effects for commercials and television movies, such as the Shirley MacLaine memoir "Out on a Limb" (ABC, 1987) and "Amerika," (ABC, 1987), for which he created a sequence where Washington D.C. is bombed by Soviet missiles. Then after "My Stepmother is an Alien" (1988) and "Child's Play" (1990), Dykstra shut down Apogee in 1992. By that time, much of the mechanical and electronic innovations that Dykstra created were becoming obsolete, thanks to the advent of computer generated imagery. Audiences got their first taste of CGI in the early 1990s - artists were able to create nearly any object they wanted on screen and make it move however they liked. Despite his mechanical background, Dykstra embraced computer technology - even the Dykstraflex camera would not have been possible without a computer controlling its movements. He went on to supervise the heavy digital effects for "Batman Forever" and "Batman & Robin," (1997), two films that - while critically and popularly dismissed - nonetheless provided eye-popping visuals.
Dykstra moved even further into the world of CGI with his work on "Stuart Little," succeeding at what many had tried but few achieved: an entirely computer-generated character - in this case a cute white mouse voiced by Michael J. Fox - who believably interacted with human actors and won audiences over. Dykstra soon had a chance to provide work for the comic book-based action movie, "Spider-Man," collaborating with director Sam Raimi, whose low-budget background and artistic leanings drove him toward live action stunts. But Raimi soon that Spider-Man and his strange powers defied the laws of physics, as wells as the imagination - stuntmen (or Cirque de Soliel performers, who were reportedly considered) could not possibly swing from thin strands of webbing, change direction and maintain maneuverability as much as the wall-crawler required. So it fell to Dykstra and his crew to create the superhero almost entirely on a computer, first scanning in actor Tobey Maguire, who thankfully was fully masked to make the task somewhat easier.
But while Spider-Man was often wholly digital, the effects artists needed to place him in a real-life, modern-day Manhattan. No matter how fantastical Spider-Man's movements were, everything needed to take place in the confines of a real city. It was decided to give audiences the feeling of swinging through Manhattan right alongside Spider-Man, as if he had his own web-slinging cameraman right behind him. Background, or "plate" photographers, filmed extensive footage of the city, as well as Los Angeles, and set about the arduous task of texture-mapping images of real buildings onto digital models that existed only in the computer, through which a virtual camera could move about. Executives at times were unable to determine which Spidey was real and which was digital. Once the finished product was released, vocal fans griped that the title character occasionally looked more like a cartoon than a living breathing man. But the finished film connected to audiences like no other superhero film before or since, setting opening day box office records, grossing hundreds of millions of dollars worldwide and spawning two sequels. Dykstra earned another Academy Award nomination for his work on the first installment, and won his second Oscar for Best Visual Effects with its follow-up, "Spider-Man 2" (2004).
Feeling that he had accomplished all he could with the series, Dykstra chose to step away from the third installment of the Spider-Man franchise - a smart move in hindsight, because of the critical drubbing the filmmakers received. After stepping in to create the visual effects for the anti-super hero actioner, "Hancock" (2008), Dykstra took his first seat in the director's chair with "The Tortoise and the Hippo," a family film inspired by a true account of a baby hippo and a 100-year-old tortoise who cohabitated in a Kenyan sanctuary following a devastating tsunami. The film was to feature a combination of live action and CGI.

Basically, this is avant-garde composition done well. Kaiser doesn't much like to stick to the ordinary, but his flights of fancy are always unique and creative. He doesn't "get weird" just for the sake of making listeners shake their heads. Rather, he travels unusual pathways so that the listeners can discover a new and exciting window on existence.
I like unusual music of all kinds, but Kaiser's one of my favorites. He knows how to use the experimental in ways that are approachable. And he creates works of lasting impact. This disc is another amazing outing." - Jon Worley, Aiding and Abetting (excerpt)

One of the most popular drum'n'bass acts of the early 21st century, Pendulum are an Australian group based in the United Kingdom. Formed in Perth in 2002, the group was originally comprised of producers Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen, who worked in tandem with a local DJ named Paul "El Hornet" Harding. One of the team's initial releases, "Vault," became a sensation amid the drum'n'bass community in 2003, benefiting greatly from high-profile placement at the beginning of J Majik's FabricLive mix album. The track was also licensed for placement on several other CDs, including Adam F and DJ Fresh's Breakbeat Kaos mix album for Ministry of Sound. Other early productions such as 2003's "Spiral" and 2004's "Another Planet" -- released by Adam F and DJ Fresh on their Breakbeat Kaos label -- were also well-received in the drum'n'bass community.In 2005, Pendulum made their full-length album debut, Hold Your Colour, featuring the singles "Tarantula" and "Slam." That same year, the group scored its biggest hit to date with a remix of the Prodigy classic "Voodoo People," which broke into the Top 20 of the U.K. singles chart. All of this success in 2005 culminated with an Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1 that arrived late in the year. Following a couple one-off singles -- "Painkiller" (2006; featuring the Freestylers) and "Blood Sugar" (2007) -- Pendulum signed to Warner Music U.K. and made their major-label debut with 2007's "Granite," a Top 30 hit. "Propane Nightmares" (2008), their second release on Warner, was an even bigger hit, breaking into the Top 20 and setting the stage for their second full-length album, In Silico (2008). ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi

The Utah Identity Theft Task Force recommends making identity fraud a felony crime and making three or more convictions a racketeering offense. Cases of identity fraud in Utah soared to 527 cases in 2002 from just from 32 six years earlier, the task force told the Utah Technology Commission last week. Identity fraud commonly starts with stolen Social Security cards, which can be used to obtain credit cards and open bank accounts. Thieves assume other people's identities and make purchases and apply for credit in their names. Assistant Utah attorney general Richard lb the stage for a bodacious night on the Town. Look for "hook-up" Options in the Upcoming Weekend Edition. Ex pi ore as we Shed some Light on the Entertainment, which lies therein. Hemp says it should be a crime for anyone to possess another's identification. He said many drivers pulled over by police turn out to have fraudulent along with a legitimate ID, but can't be prosecuted for that unless they use the fraudulent IDs to commit a crime. Another task force proposal would make clear that any law enforcement agency that starts an identity theft investigation would follow it, even if it leads outside its jurisdiction. Police often pass off cases of identity theft that do no originate or create victims in their jurisdiction because the investigations can be expensive and catch only misdemeanor offenders, said Lt. Terry Powell of the Utah Cybercrimes Task Force. "If you lose $300, it's going to cost Salt Lake Police Department much more to bring that to trial," Powell said. iuujijjviuiij niiiiiiiiyL MONDAY, AUGUST 28 2003 mm 7 I i II ir I-'-: iNntinn Bush Pledges Not to Let Up in Terror War (AP) President Bush pledged Tuesday that the United States will not stop its war on terrorism, even as U.S. casualties mount and political criticism spreads. "No nation can be neutral in the struggle between civilization and chaos," Bush told thousands of cheering veterans at the 85th annual American Legion convention here. "Every nation that stands on the side of freedom and the value of human life must condemn terror and act against the few who destroy the hopes of the many." "The enemies of freedom are not idle and neither are we," he told about 600 people at the$2,0()0-per-ticket event at the St. Paul RiverCentre. 'This country will not rest, we will not tire and we will not stop until this danger to civilization is removed." The event put another $1.2 million in the bank for Bush's re-election effort next year, a campaign W7 spokesman said. And it bought those who attended edibles better suited for the ongoing Minnesota State Fair corn-on-a-stick, chicken fingers, cheesecake-on-a-stick, lemonade, cotton candy and fried pickles. Bush has raised at least $56 million for his reelection. The president, on a daylong outing from his ranch in Texas, spoke to the 85th annual convention in between two political fund-raisers. About 75 people protested outside as Bush's motorcade arrived at the speech site in St. Paul. One sign said, "Admit failure. Beg the U.N. for help." Another said "Search for economic recovery," in a reference to the unsuccessful hunt for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Bush's appearance before the veterans comes as the number of troops who have died in postwar Iraq reached 140 surpassing the number killed during major combat. A total of 278 soldiers have died since the war began March 20. Bush declared an end to major combat May 1. Cs dd gD World U.S. Launches Raids to Hunt Iraq Bandits (AP) Hundreds of U.S. forces launched a series of raids Tuesday to hunt down bandits, gangsters and Saddam Hussein loyalists, capturing at least 24. Meanwhile, the number of American troops killed in postwar Iraq surpassed the toll of those killed in major combat, reaching 140 with the deaths of a soldier in a roadside bombing and another in a traffic accident. When President Bush declared an end to major combat on May 1 , the U.S. death toll stood at 138. Since then, 140 more soldiers have died, counting both deaths announced Tuesday. The total number of U.S. soldiers killed since the Iraq war began on March 20 is 278. One of the soldiers killed Tuesday was riding in a support convoy hit VOLUME 32 ISSUE 37 the by a bomb in the town of Hamariyah, 16 miles northwest of Baghdad, the military announced. Two other soldiers were wounded in that attack. The other U.S. fatality was a soldier who was struck by an Iraqi motorist while changing a flat in a convoy from Tikrit to a forward base, the military said. In another incident, a third soldier was taken to a military hospital with an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound. The two dozen suspected Iraqi criminals were swept up near Baqouba, 42 miles north of Baghdad, in "Operation Ivy Needle," a campaign launched by the 4th Infantry Division. Hundreds of troops, backed by helicopters, tanks and Bradley fighting vehicles chased a convicted murderer and gangster named Lateef Hamed al-Kubaishat known as Lateef by U.S. forces, said Col. David Hogg, commander of the 4th Infantry Division's 2nd Brigade.

North American architecture trends, 1990-2000There are some considerations that emerged in taking on an analysis of the last ten years of North American architecture in relation to a political, social, and economic context that is subject to a sweeping metamorphosis. A decade of changes in which architecture struggled to offer images that properly represented it, if not through an appeal to virtuality capable of responding immediately and not without problematic issues to the repeated demands of reality. A decade that was born under the axe of economic crisis and which ended in the spotlight of an unprecedented productive and financial expansion, conveyed by the affirmation and spread of the Internet on a world scale. A decade that began in the shadow of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the riots of Los Angeles and that ended with the further globalization of America's political role and a growing awareness of a multiracial society. A decade during which projects that had been conceived and designed in the Eighties were slowly brought to completion, experiencing first the effect of "S, M, L, XL', then the effect of Bilbao-Gehry, and all the while the results of a globalization of ideas and projects that, as never before, has led so many American architects to work and to obtain a definitive consecration in Europe and Asia and, at the same time, so many Asian and European designers to work in North America. These years show that the diverse architectural cultures that inhabit the United States are increasingly taking on an awareness of their own role, distant from the traditional centres of academic development and at the same time an image of social and economic realities in expansion. This volume attempts to open a window on this dimension in flux that is also of great interest by offering a selection of projects built in the Nineties by North American architects in America. A decade which marked an important transitional phase and the metamorphosis of the work of the American masters of the Sixties and Seventies like Venturi and Scott Brown, Cesar Pelli, Charles Gwathmey, I.M. Pei, with the full affirmation of new masters such as Frank Gehry, Peter Eisenman and Steven Holl and the emergence of new generations represented by Williams and Tsien, Patkau, Will Bruder, Antoine Predock, Ro.To., Morphosis, Eric Owen Moss and Asymptote. The book is introduced by a short essay of Adalberto Dal Lago. |

The 2010 National Program Committee (NPC) extends a hearty welcome and invites you to attend MLA '10, "Reflect & Connect," in Washington, DC, May 21–26, 2010. MLA '10 offers opportunities for you to reconnect with friends and colleagues in order to compare notes and ideas about building relationships with your communities, identifying information needs, and developing innovative means of meeting those needs. For the first time, the 2010 NPC has selected a common book, Daniel H. Pink's A Whole New Mind: Why Right-Brainers Will Rule the Future, for attendees to read and discuss—before, during, and after the meeting. Pink will also be our keynote speaker and John P. McGovern lecturer. Visit the MLA '10 site on MLANET for a sneak preview of his presentation. During his lecture, Pink will lead us through an activity designed to help us discover a different way of working better. Immediately after the lecture, join your colleagues in a discussion of the book, with an opportunity to ask the author for more information. Later in the summer, attendees can join Pink on the web for an opportunity to reflect and connect about actions taken as a result of participating in the session or reading the book. Whether or not you agree with us that Pink convincingly makes the case that right-brainers are needed more than ever in the current economy, it should prove to be an entertaining learning experience. MLA '10 will also make use of cutting-edge technologies to enhance meeting attendees' experiences and to allow members who are unable to attend in person to participate in the discussions and make connections. Both meeting attendees and those who register for the web portal will have early access to abstracts and the ability to participate in the summer web session. Official bloggers and videographers will keep you in the loop. Another new feature is "lightning talks" for posters. Grouped by topic, presenters will share their posters in five minutes (or less) and be available to answer questions. The urban setting of Washington, DC, provides numerous opportunities to connect with your legislators, your colleagues, and your friends as well as to reflect on the events of the meeting. Consider attending a legislative briefing and visiting your representatives. Enroll in a continuing education class and build a new skill set. Join your colleagues at the Section Shuffle. The Local Assistance Committee will be sharing more information about the locale and activities to pique your interest. Whether you take the time to express an opinion based on reflection, pause to think quietly and calmly, or establish a connection with your colleagues, MLA '10 promises to have something for everyone. Join your friends (old and new) at the newly renovated Hilton Washington for a monumental experience!
—Terry Ann Jankowski, AHIP, and Sarah McCord, AHIP, Cochairs, 2010 National Program Committee

I finally got a vacation and went to Rome and Ischia, which is an island off Naples. I love Rome. I first went when I was in Ethiopia and returned to the States via Rome. I was struck by the layers of generations exposed in such an unpretentious way, mixed with a modern urban environment.
Here are some shots…
A beautiful Indian woman with her daughter relaxing near the Colosseum. She looked so incredible, like a painting.
Getting wild at the fountain.
Jeff outside the Colosseum. We had just landed and were all jet lagged but headed out any way. It's the best way to start since you always feel groggy and dreamlike.
This guy dressed up in a toga and went to the Trevi Fountain. The cops had fit and went to arrest him. I thought it was a great idea and wish I had done it too.
A fort that protects the Vatican.
Inside the Vatican. I used a segway to ride around. I felt like a giant nerd but loved it.
Riding high.

In March, while addressing [JURIST report] the enforced disappearances' effect on women and children, Pillay stated that the system has a significant influence on the enjoyment of human rights across the globe, but while the system has grown exponentially, human and financial resources have failed to match up with the growth. The total number of treaty body experts have grown to 172 in 2012 compared to 97 in 2000 while tates have increased ratification under international human rights treaties from 927 to 1,586.

The quality of the paper is so rich and even the envelopes are such a beautiful weight.The response cards are lovely. The ecru with celery that we ordered are beautiful colors and very vintage looking. Carol, the representative whom we dealt with, who was so so helpful ,recommended to go up one size in the print and it is perfect. She was such help with all of our questions and even let us use a coupon your company offered that we had over looked. This experience could not have been more positive."

text: Judy Barrett Litoff, Professor of History at Bryant University in Smithfield, Rhode Island, is the author of 14 books and more than 100 articles, book chapters, and reviews in American women's history. She is the author of two pioneering books on the history of American midwifery, American Midwives, 1860 to the Present (1978,1985) and The American Midwife Debate: A Sourcebook on its Modern Origins(1986). Over the last two decades, Litoff has focused her research and writing on American women and the Second World War. Her research has included a nationwide search for women's correspondence that has resulted in the assembling of an archive of 30,000 wartime letters written by American women. These 30,000 letters provide clear and unequivocal evidence of the many important ways that women actively participated in the war effort, and they vividly illustrate women s growing sense of self and their place in the world. In short, they offer perceptive insights into heretofore unexplored, but fundamental, aspects of the war. For additional information about the U.S. Women and Letter Writing Project, go to http://digitalcommons.bryant.edu/ww2letters/ Litoff's books on World War II include Miss You (1990), Since You Went Away: World War II Letters from American Women on the Home Front(1991,1995), Dear Boys(1991), We're In This War Too: World War II Letters from American Women in Uniform(1994), Dear Poppa (1997), American Women in a World at War(1997), What Kind of World Do We Want? American Women Planning for Peace (2000), Fighting Fascism in Europe (2003), An American Heroine in the French Resistance (2006, 2008), and Dancing with Colonels (2011). Litoff's innovative research on American women and World War II has been the subject of numerous newspaper and magazine articles, and she frequently appears on television and radio. She has lectured widely in the United States, as well as in England, Estonia, Belarus, Ukraine, the Republic of Georgia, Russia, and China. Most recently, she served as an historical consultant for the highly-acclaimed and Emmy nominated PBS documentary, "The Perilous Fight: America s World War II in Color." She is the recipient of numerous honors and awards, including the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities 2007 Lifetime Achievement Award in the Humanities. Litoff was also the Project Director of a three-year U.S. Department of State grant between Bryant University and the European Humanities University in Minsk, Belarus. She has served on the Rhode Island Council for the Humanities and the Board of Overseers of the Moses Brown School and the Lincoln School, and the Board of Trustees of the Rhode Island Historical Society. She also served as the Chair of the Goff Institute for Ingenuity and Enterprise Studies. She is currently a member of the Board of Directors of the Rhode Island Black Heritage Society and Festival Ballet Providence. The mother of two adult daughters and three granddaughters, Litoff lives in Providence, Rhode Island. She is an avid downhill skier and yoga enthusiast.

According to the criminal complaint, at about 1:30 p.m. Dec. 26, Rivera slid a note to the bank teller indicating that unless he was given $5,000 in the next 10 minutes, "he was going to detonate or blow up the bank."
The teller said in the complaint that after receiving $5,100 in various denominations, the suspect fled out the main entrance and appeared to get into a dark SUV or minivan parked near a local Subway restaurant.
Rivera was arrested based on an anonymous tip, according to a news release from the Waukesha Police Department.
In the criminal complaint, the anonymous tipster said she was a friend of the Rivera family and that Rivera had been telling various family members he was responsible for the robbery.
According to the complaint, Rivera, 6 feet, 2 inches tall and 225 pounds, matches the description of the suspect. The complaint also states that Rivera owns a dark-colored Dodge minivan similar to the one suspected to have been used in the robbery.
Rivera told police that on Dec. 26, "he was freaking out over money and decided that $5,000 from a bank would help," the complaint said. The complaint noted that Rivera was checked into Waukesha Memorial Hospital a few days before Christmas for depression and smokes marijuana to help with back pain.
The defendant also claims in the complaint he gave some of the money to his wife to pay bills and spent some on alcohol, gift cards, video games, marijuana and "lots of lottery tickets."
Rivera's first court date was schedules for Jan. 8.
