18 Under 18: Brionna Williams
After losing 119 pounds, this three-sport athlete is a force on and off the court
ESPNHS honors 18 female teen athletes who are doing remarkable things on the field, in the classroom and in their communities. Click here to read about them.
If you saw Brionna Williams' 9-foot-8-inch vertical leap on the volleyball court, you might have a hard time believing she's a poster child for overcoming obesity. In fact, the 6-foot-2, three-sport athlete is most at home playing sports: In addition to being captain of the volleyball team, she's also a center for the Central (Kansas City, Mo.) basketball team, and a thrower and jumper on the track team.
And she's not new to sports. She fell in love with volleyball when she was just 9 years old. But a severe case of asthma made tough to cover the distance of the court, peer pressure encouraged poor food choices and, despite her athleticism, Williams' weight continued to climb. "I remember going to a pediatric doctor who told me I was severely overweight and I started to cry," she recalled. She weighed 298 pounds, a number she'd like to forget.
But it was basketball tryouts her freshman year of high school that finally pushed Williams, 17, to face her weight. "I couldn't even get up and down the court," she said. So she set out to lose five pounds. First she tried starving herself, but that gave her headaches and made her cranky. So she asked her gym teacher for help. While the class was doing something else, she'd go walk a mile. Gradually, she progressed to running the mile, and added in core exercises and weights. Then she upped her goal: to lose 130 pounds.
She went cold turkey on soda, drinking water with lemon instead. She traded regular chips for small portions of reduced-sodium ones and loaded up on fruits and veggies. Now down 119 pounds and counting, her life is changed in more ways than she expected. She can breathe again, for one. The clothes are better too. "I can wear prettier things -- and skinny jeans," she boasted. And, despite challenging circumstances -- she hails from a crime-ridden neighborhood, explained her mentor and one-time coach Kyle Snead -- the aspiring lawyer has carved out a spot on the honor role, earned accolades for public speaking through the Future Business Leaders of America, and she's college-bound, having signed a letter of intent to play volleyball at Neosho County Community College. But she's also a living, breathing example of what hard work can do for a trio of middle school students she now mentors as part of a program she herself benefited from in middle school. Her message? "Don't give up," Williams said. "It's not over when you think it's over."

Pet Smarts: Keeping Family Members of the Canine and Feline Variety Healthy
Posted By Aaron On February 22, 2008 @ 3:43 pm In Health,How To | 18 Comments
You do everything in your power to keep yourself – and your family – healthy, but is there more you could be doing for your four-legged friend?
The following is a list of tips on how to keep your pet in tip-top condition.
Let's Get (a) Physical:
Just like humans, pets need regular check-ups! In addition to giving pets an opportunity to get their routine vaccinations, the check-ups allow vets a chance to record any subtle changes in appearance and behavior that may be indicative of a larger health problem, and allow them to take preventive action if it appears a problem is developing.
Insurance Assurance:
Anyone who has ever taken care of a sick pet knows that their medical bills can accrue at almost the same rate as those for humans! To keep costs down, invest in pet insurance. The plans, which are available through a number of reputable agencies (the ASPCA offers one!), vary in cost depending on the level of coverage, but will generally cover most, if not all, major medical expenses. If you're not sure which plan would work best for your pet, consult your veterinarian.
Getting Canned:
Last march, controversy erupted over contaminants in various canned and dry pet foods (of both the canine and feline variety), sending many pet owners back to their kitchens to cook up broiled chicken and rice! Today, pet food manufacturers have stepped up their game and implemented more stringent quality and safety controls. The verdict? Pet food is now generally safe, although we recommend logging on to The Human Society of the United State's website [7] for tips on how to protect your pet, a complete list of recalled items, and other updates.
Menu Selection:
When selecting a pet food, ask your veterinarian what percentage of your pets diet should come from protein, veggies and grains (or other carbohydrates) and look for foods that meet those recommended ratios. Beware of food sources that list a lot of fillers (even if they don't hold the number one spot on the ingredient list) or a lot of preservatives (specifically BHA, BHT and Ethoxyquin), which some veterinarians warn might cause cancer. If in doubt, opt for holistic formulations, which contain "human grade" ingredients or turn to your own kitchen to rustle up homemade varieties. Popular ingredients include ground turkey or beef, organ meat (ick!) or eggs for the protein component, oatmeal, pasta, brown rice or potato rice, quinoa for the grains, and vegetables such as broccoli, carrots, celery, green beans and spinach.
Working It Out:
You wouldn't advise your grandmother or your toddler to follow the same workout routine as you, and the same should go for your pet. When devising a workout plan, consult your veterinarian, who will factor in your pets age, expected range of physical activity and climate (with some pets, because of their coat or other factors, limited in how much they can workout in certain weather conditions) to come up with a routine that will keep your pet happy and healthy.
Shape Up:
Turns out it's not just people that are getting fat – our pets are also piling on the pounds! To keep your pet in peak shape, combine a varied workout routine with a sensible diet and reserve treats for exceptional circumstances as opposed to regular snack intervals.
Puppy Proofing:
When a child first learns to walk, parents are quick to record the moment, shower their offspring with praise and then rush around like maniacs to "baby-proof" the house. But how many people can honestly say that they have puppy- (or kitty-) proofed their house? Some changes you should consider are removing or (simply moving out of reach) certain houseplants that can be poisonous if ingested (hyacinth and mistletoe to name a few), adding covers to electrical cords (which many puppies like to use as a chew toy) and closing the doors to bathrooms (where there's a plethora of "tasty" bath and cleaning products!)
Purse Snatcher:
You might have forgotten about that candy bar, roll of antacids (or worse, bottle of pills) or other snack stowed in your backpacks, purse, or school bag, but your pet certainly hasn't! Avoid having your pet come into contact with harmful substances (chocolate being a big no no) by stowing purses and other bags out of the reach of pets or (even better) behind closed doors!
Road Trip:
Yes, it's adorable when you're driving down a road and you see a puppy hanging its head out the window. But what happens when that same puppy (or rather, the owner of that puppy) gets into a car accident? The short (and not so sweet) answer? That puppy becomes a missile, a missile that, when frightened or injured, could lash out at the very people trying to help it (either you or another first responder). The solution? Invest in a pet harness that plugs directly into the seatbelt buckle, back seat barrier or other restraining device to keep them safe while riding in the car.
What are your tips to keep your furry family members in good health?

Hi: 9° Lo:0°
REDDITCH UNITED were deprived of the chance to bounce back from a fifth successive league defeat when Tuesday's match against Bashley at the Valley Stadium fell victim to a frozen pitch.
As the Standard went to press it also appeared unlikely tomorrow's visit to leaders Leamington would beat the elements, whilst Tuesday's visit to play-off chasing Arlesey Town would also appear to be in jeopardy.
Simon Redhead's team remain second from bottom of the Southern League Premier Division after Saturday's 3-0 defeat at home to Bedford Town and, whilst sitting just two points behind Hitchin Town, they have a six-point deficit to fourth bottom Bashley, meaning the fight for points is becoming increasingly vital as they seek to escape a bottom two finish and relegation.
Not for the first time this season, Saturday's scoreline was harsh on the Reds as for long periods they matched Bedford, but the familiar tale of a lack of cutting edge once again haunted them.
The match saw a debut for talented young Reserves keeper Dan Payne who stepped up to the plate after Brad Catlow was laid low by illness.
The hosts, who fielded winger Danny Edwards in their ranks following his loan switch from Worcester City, made a bright start and it was Edwards at the heart of it as his long range strike soared just over the bar.
Lindon Dovey also went close before Payne showed his talent at the other end with a smart stop to thwart Will Green's header and Nick Beasant's strike.
However, the latter save was at the expense of a corner which was headed home by Green in the 40th minute, although the Reds rallied and Edwards looked set to equalise only for Town keeper Ian Brown to save his strike.
Bedford were the stronger team after the restart though and goals in the final 15 minutes from Jermaine Ivy and Beasant sealed United's fate.

Telling Tales of Transnationalism
Have you ever met someone who seems so "ordinary" but who actually lives an extraordinary life? A neighbor perhaps, who lives in two or more societies and circulates frequently between home in the United States and home abroad? Or, a fellow student who grew up in multiple countries, whose parents live on a different continent? Maybe you've met someone working in a local business, who came to your town straight from a refugee camp in a distant land. Scholars refer to these folks as transnational migrants, and today we are seeing more and more such people in the United States and worldwide. This course is designed to explore firsthand the telling tales of individual transnational migrants, including refugees, migrant workers, skilled laborers, and others who navigate multiple nationalities and social worlds. Such tales offer windows into the paradoxes of our complex and unequal world, where millions perish for lack of basic human needs—water, food, shelter—while others devote their days to accumulating millions or billions of dollars. Through a variety of literary and filmic genres, such as ethnography, historical fiction, life history and documentary, students will explore the tangible connections, competing loyalties, and fluid identities maintained by such globally dispersed peoples.

First in-game screens of MechWarrior Online show CatapultOkay, I know what you're thinking, and no, MechWarrior Online is not going to have the catapult you're thinking of. When I first went to check out the screenshots, I was expecting some sort of futuristic giant catapult that launched mechs across a battlefield or something. Yes, I know that's stupid, but I'm into that sort of thing. Don't judge me. Anyway, the screenshots instead reveal the Catapult mech. As in, a mech that can launch missiles on a giant area without having to actual visually see the enemy (with the help of a spotter, of course). These are also the first screenshots of the game we're seeing, so that's exciting. Unless you would rather see the game in action, then I'd advise you to go check out that trailer from awhile back. Screenshots are still good fun, though. Ever since the Chromehounds servers were shut down, I've been waiting for another strategic mech game to come out. Now there's a few of them. It's going to be a good year. Comments not appearing? Anti-virus apps like Avast or some browser extensions can cause this. Easy fix: Add [*].disqus.com to your software's white list. Tada!

The California Institute of the Arts, colloquially called CalArts, is a private university located in Valencia, in Los Angeles County, California. It was incorporated in 1961 as the first degree-granting institution of higher learning in the United States created specifically for students of both the visual and the performing arts. It is authorized by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) to grant Bachelor of Fine Arts and Master of Fine Arts in the visual, performing, and, since 1994, literary arts.[1] The Herb Alpert School of Music was accredited in 2009 to grant a Doctor of Musical Arts.
The school was founded and created by Walt Disney in the early 1960s and staffed by a diverse array of professionals.[2] The institute was started as Disney's dream of an interdisciplinary "Caltech of the arts." CalArts provides a collaborative environment for a diversity of artists. Students are free to develop their own work (over which they retain control and copyright) in a workshop atmosphere.
CalArts was originally formed in 1961 as a merger of the Chouinard Art Institute (founded 1921) and the Los Angeles Conservatory of Music (founded 1883).[3] Both of the formerly existing institutions were going through financial difficulties around the same time, and the founder of the Art Institute, Nelbert Chouinard, was also fatally ill. The professional relationship between Madame Chouinard and Walt Disney began in 1929 when Disney had no money and Madame Chouinard agreed to train his first animators on a pay-later basis. He never forgot and over the years watched the Chouinard Art Institute grow into the finest art school on the West Coast.[4] It was through the vision of Disney, who discovered and trained many of his studio artists at Chouinard (including Mary Blair, Maurice Noble and some of the Nine Old Men, among others), that the merger of the two institutions was coordinated; the process continued after his death in 1966.[4] Joining him were his brother Roy O. Disney, Lulu Von Hagen and Thornton Ladd (Ladd & Kelsey, Architects), of the Los Angeles Conservatory of Music.
In 1965, the Alumni Association was founded as a nonprofit organization and was governed by a 12-member board of directors to serve the best interests of the institute and its programs. Members included leading professional artists and musicians, who contributed their knowledge, experience and skill to strengthen the institute. The 12 founding board of directors members were Mary Costa, Edith Head, Gale Storm, Marc Davis, Tony Duquette, Harold Grieve, John Hench, Chuck Jones, Henry Mancini, Marty Paich, Nelson Riddle and Millard Sheets.
The ground-breaking for CalArts' current campus took place May 3, 1969. However, construction of the new campus was hampered by torrential rains, labor troubles and the earthquake in 1971. So the "new" school began its first year in the buildings of Villa Cabrini Academy (7500 Glenoaks Blvd, Burbank, Calif.), a former Catholic girl school on the edge of downtown Burbank (where Woodbury University now stands). CalArts moved to its present campus in the Valencia section of the city of Santa Clarita, California in November 1971.
From the beginning, CalArts was plagued by the tensions between its art and trade school functions as well as between the non-commercial aspirations of the students and faculty and the conservative interests of the Disney family and trustees. The founding board of trustees originally planned on creating CalArts as a school in an entertainment complex, a destination like Disneyland, and a feeder school for the industry.[5] In an ironic turn of fate, they appointed Dr. Robert W. Corrigan as the first president of the Institute.
Corrigan, former dean of the School of Arts at New York University, was attempting to create a similar mix of artistic disciplines as those that were going to be attempted at CalArts. Corrigan fired almost all the artists and teachers from Chouinard in his attempt to remake CalArts into his personal vision. He was joined the following year by his friend Herbert Blau, hired as the Institute's provost and dean of the School of Theater and Dance. Subsequently, Blau was instrumental in hiring a number of professionals like Mel Powell (dean of the School of Music), Paul Brach (dean of the School of Art), Alexander Mackendrick (dean of the School of Film/Video), sociologist Maurice R. Stein (dean of Critical Studies), and Richard Farson (dean of the School of Design; now integrated in the Art school as the Graphic Design program) as well other influential program heads and teachers such as Stephan von Huene, Allan Kaprow, Bella Lewitzky, Michael Asher, Jules Engel, John Baldessari, Judy Chicago, Ravi Shankar, Max Kozloff, Miriam Shapiro, Douglas Huebler, Morton Subotnick and Nam June Paik most of whom largely came from a counterculture and avant-garde side of the art world. The fundamental principles established at the Institute by Blau and the late Corrigan included ideas like "no technique in advance of need," and that a curriculum should be cyclical rather than sequential, returning to root principles at regular intervals, and that "we're a community of artists here, some of us called faculty and some called students."[6]
Corrigan held his position until 1972, when he was replaced by William S. Lund, a Disney son-in-law, a Stanford B.A., active in business, real estate and economic counseling. Within a month of Lund's tenure as president, 55 of CalArts' 325 faculty and staff were fired. Structured schedules were introduced. Classes were trimmed back and, within a year, the institute was operating on budget. Some credit Lund with saving CalArts. Others see his tenure as the end of an idealistic experiment.[7]
In 1975, Robert J. Fitzpatrick was appointed new president of CalArts. Holding this position for twelve years, in 1987 Fitzpatrick resigned as president to head Euro Disney in Paris. Nicholas England, former dean of the School of Music, was appointed acting president. One year later, Steven D. Lavine, associate director for arts and humanities at the Rockefeller Foundation, was named new president, a position he still holds.
Beginning in the summer of 1987, CalArts became the host of the state-funded California State Summer School for the Arts program. It began by the state of California as a program to nurture talented high school students in the fields of animation, creative writing, dance, film and video, music, theatre arts, and visual arts. CalArts expanded on the concept by creating the Community Arts Partnership in 1990. While CSSSA is open to qualifying California students, CAP, as it's commonly known, is a service provided to students living within underprivileged communities in the Los Angeles County school system. Many CalArts faculty and students mentor the high schoolstudents in both programs.
Over the years, the school has also developed on-campus, interdisciplinary laboratories, such as the Center for Experiments in Art, Information, and Technology, Center for Integrated Media, Center for New Performance at CalArts, and the Cotsen Center for Puppetry and the Arts.
In 1994, CalArts was damaged by the Northridge earthquake. Michael Eisner, on the board of trustees at the time, directed the real estate team at Disney to find a temporary site for the school. All the art programs were relocated to the Lockheed Rye Canyon Research facility for six months until the school was repaired.
That same year, Herb Alpert, a professional musician and admirer of the institute, collaborated with CalArts with his nonprofit foundation to establish the Alpert Awards in the Arts. While the foundation provides the award for winning recipients, the school's faculty in the fields film/new media, visual arts, theatre, dance, and music select artists in their field to nominate an individual artist who is recognized for their innovation in their given medium. Recipients of this award are required to stay for a week as visiting artists at CalArts and mentor students studying their metier. In 2008, CalArts renamed the School of Music in his name, courtesy of a $15 million donation.
The campus is located on McBean Parkway, which has a direct connection to Interstate 5.
CalArts offers degree programs in music, art, dance, film and video, animation, theater, puppetry, and writing. Students receive intensive professional training in the area of his/her career purpose without being cast into a rigid pattern. Its focus is in interdisciplinary, contemporary art, and the Institute's stated mission is to develop professional artists of tomorrow- artists who will change their field. With these goals in place, the Institute encourages students to recognize the complexity of political, social and aesthetic questions and to respond to them with informed, independent judgment.[8]
Admissions to CalArts is based solely on the applicant's creative talent and future potential.[citation needed] Every school within the Institute does require that applicants send in an artist's statement, along with a portfolio or audition (depending on the Program) in order to be considered for admission. The school does not review an applicant's SAT scores without consent of the applicant, and does not consider an applicant's GPA as part of the admission process.
The initial concept behind CalArts' interdisciplinary approach came from Richard Wagner's idea of Gesamtkunstwerk ("total artwork"), which Disney himself was fond of and explored in a variety of forms, beginning with his own studio, then later in the incorporation of CalArts. He began with the classic Disney film Fantasia (1940), where animators, dancers, composers, and artists alike collaborated. In 1952, Walt Disney Imagineering was founded, where Disney integrated artists from his animation studio and elsewhere, as well as formally trained engineers and achieved creative critical mass in the development of Disneyland. He believed that the same concept that developed WDI, could also be applied to a university setting, where art students of different mediums would be exposed to and explore a wide range of creative directions. Disney himself has stated of his memorial school:
" | If you keep busy, your work might lead you into paths you might not expect. I've always operated like the princes of Serendip, who went on quests not knowing what they would find. That happens in science; some of our most important discoveries have come from scientists who were searching for something else. What young artists need is a school where they can learn a variety of skills, a place where there is cross-pollination.[9] The remarkable thing that's taking place in almost every field of endeavor is an accelerating rate of dynamic growth and change. The arts, which have historically symbolized the advance of human progress, must match this growth if they are going to maintain their value in and influence on society. The talents of musicians, the self-expression of the actor, and the techniques and applications of fine and commercial artist are being use more and more in today's business-not by themselves but rather, in close association with each other. What we must have, then, is a completely new approach to training in the arts-an entirely new educational concept which will properly prepare artists and give them the vital tools so necessary for working in, and drawing from, every field of creativity and performance. I like the workshop idea, with students being able to drop in and learn all kinds of arts. A school should offer a kind of cross-pollination that would develop the best in it's students. That is the direction I would like CalArts to take. It shouldn't be a school where studies are rigid and narrow. Students should be able to study the whole spectrum of the arts. Perhaps a musician would find he is more talented in arts; and vice versa. There is an urgent need for a professional school which will not only give its students thorough training in a specific field, but will also allow the widest possible range of artistic growth and expression. To meet this need is exactly why California Institute of the Arts has been created, and why we all believe so strongly in its importance. Students will be able to take anything - art, drama, music, dance, writing. They'll graduate with a degree of Bachelor of Fine Arts, and if they want a Bachelor of Arts they can go to other colleges and acquire a few more credits. The student body of CalArts shouldn't be over two thousand, and as many as possible should reside on campus. There should be some allowance for those who are talented, yet are not students; they should be able to express themselves without worrying about grades. There will be a lot of scholarships at CalArts. Those who can pay will pay; those who can't will get scholarships. We don't want any dilettantes at CalArts. We want people with talent. That will be the one factor in getting into CalArts: talent.[10] It's the principal thing I hope to leave when I move on to greener pastures.

The BFA and MFA programs of The Sharon Disney Lund School of Dance give equal importance to technical excellence, choreographic creativity, artistic production, and intellectual understanding. The school has four different levels of contemporary dance technique and four different levels of ballet technique. Students are taught a variety of contemporary dance techniques including Limon, Horton, release, contact improvisation, among others.
BFA Program in Dance The intensive four-year BFA Program in Dance provides a developmental path to high-level professional skills, allowing dancers and choreographers to combine strong ballet and contemporary technique with creative initiative, self-confidence, resourcefulness, and wide-ranging literacy in the art form. Also offering comprehensive instruction in dance production - including stagecraft, lighting and costume design, music and video for dance, and dance on camera - the program is grounded in one-on-one mentoring by a faculty of experienced practicing artists.
MFA Program in Dance Focused on the art of choreography, the two-year graduate program is designed for experienced dance artists who aim to pursue professional careers as choreographers and educators. The curriculum enables each MFA candidate to develop and refine his or her own personal aesthetic, become conversant in the organizing concepts of choreography and dance theory, meet the practical demands of producing - including multimedia and site-based performances - and identify his or her larger artistic and career goals. The MFA program culminates in an evening-length thesis concert that is choreographed and produced by the MFA student.
Concentration in Integrated Media The MFA Program in Dance offers a supplemental concentration, via the institute-wide Center for Integrated Media (CIM), for dance artists who wish to combine their study of choreography with an exploration of interdisciplinary practices, participatory media, and interactive technologies. This program culminates in a final integrated media project that is critiqued by all of the faculty and students Integrated Media program.
The Walt Disney Modular Theater is an indoor performance space located within the California Institute of the Art.
Funded by Lillian Disney, who lent support to Walt's venture into education, her gift to the school to remodel a campus theater and rename it the Walt Disney Modular Theater in 1993. The modular theater is based on a concept suggested by Antonin Artaud, who asserted that the ideal theater could be reconfigured for each and every new performance or play. When Walt Disney founded his Institute of the Arts, he requested suggestions from leaders in various artistic fields as to what would be the ideal tools for advancing the study and practice of their medium. One of the overwhelmingly popular suggestions from the theater community was a modular theater as suggested by Artaud. Disney had the Modular Theater incorporated as the central performance space of his Institute. It was the first of its kind constructed, and remains one of only five in the world.
The chief feature of the theater is a segmented floor, divided into 348 4'x4' square platforms, each mounted on its own independent pneumatic pistons, allowing the floor to be reconfigured into whatever shape is desired. The theater is also composed of segmented pieces, so that walls can also be easily reconfigured, creating a virtually limitless number of possibilities in design. The theater is two stories tall from floor to ceiling—the pneumatic pistons reach another story down into the CalArts library, where they are a dominating architectural feature. There are doors on all sides of the theater so that the audience can be made to enter from whatever direction the artists choose. The theater can be divided into several playing spaces, the audience can be separated into several sections, and any combination of levels and directions can be used. The theater can also be configured into an environmental space, with the audience moving through multiple locations in the course of a show, or being presented with a virtual environment rather than one in which they are separate from the performance.
The Walt Disney Modular Theater is employed year-round by students and faculty at the CalArts, primarily those in the schools of Theater, Dance, and Music. Though the idea of modular theater has fallen out of fashion, in favor of environmental theater and the resurgence of proscenium spectacle theater, the theater remains in use, run by the Technical Direction Department, including both students and faculty.
It was designed by Fisher Dachs Associates, a collaboration between the Dean of the Theater School, Herbert Blau, lighting designer Jules Fisher, and Thornton Ladd (Ladd & Kelsey, Architects).
Main article A113
A113 is an Easter egg that has been inserted into several animated television shows and feature films as a homage to a classroom at CalArts.
In 2003, CalArts established a performance theater in downtown Los Angeles called REDCAT, the Roy and Edna Disney CalArts Theater at Walt Disney Concert Hall. The Center for New Performance, the professional producing arm of the CalArts Theater School, brings works to the space from both student and professional artists and musicians.
In fall 2009, the Institute opened an on-campus music pavilion, known as the "Wild Beast". The 3,200-square-foot (300 m2), free-standing structure serves as a space for classrooms and combined indoor-outdoor performance space. CalArts' President Steven Lavine has stated, "The core demand is that our Herb Alpert School of Music has doubled in size in the last decade; when we have guest artists, there is no place for them to perform—And the second reason was to allow enough space for the general public to attend [...]"[12]
In 2013, CalArts opened its John Baldessari Art Studio Building, which cost $3.1 million to build and features approximately 7,000 square feet of space—much of it used as studio space for art students and faculty.[13]
CalArts confers honorary Doctor of Arts degrees to artists who have consistently represented the bold innovation and visionary creativity championed by the Institute, and who have each made extraordinary contributions to contemporary arts and culture. A list of past honorary degree recipients, include:
In 2011, Newsweek/The Daily Beast listed CalArts as the top school for arts-minded students.The ranking was at not about being the country's best art school, but rather for "campuses that offer an exceptional artistic atmosphere." [14] [15]
In 1969, during the groundbreaking ceremony of the Valencia campus, as Lillian Disney turned over the first shovel full of soil, director Bob Clampett stood behind her mugging for the flashing cameras.[16]
Several students who attended CalArts' animation programs in the 1970s eventually found work at Walt Disney Animation Studios, and several of those went on to successful careers at Disney, Pixar, and other animation studios. In March 2014, Vanity Fair magazine highlighted the success of CalArts' 1970s animation alumni and briefly profiled several (including Jerry Rees, John Lasseter, Tim Burton, John Musker, Brad Bird, Gary Trousdale, Henry Selick and Nancy Beiman) in an article illustrated with a group portrait taken by photographer Annie Leibowitz inside classroom A113.[17]
In the late eighties, a group of CalArts animation students contacted animation director Ralph Bakshi. As he was in the process of moving to New York, they persuaded him to stay in Los Angeles to continue to produce adult animation. [18] Bakshi then got the production rights to the cartoon character Mighty Mouse. By Bakshi's request, Tom Minton and John Kricfalusi then went to the CalArts campus to recruit the best talent from what was the recent group of graduates. They hired Jeff Pidgeon, Rich Moore, Carole Holiday, Andrew Stanton and Nate Kanfer to work on the then-new Mighty Mouse: The New Adventures television series. [19]
In an interview, Craig "Spike" Decker of Spike and Mike's Festival of Animation commented on the work of independent animator Don Hertzfeldt stating that Hertzfeldt demonstrated good instincts coupled with his lack of interest in the world of commerce. In making a comparison, Decker made a reference to CalArts stating "A lot of animators come out of CalArts -- they could be so prolific, but then they're owned by Disney or someone, and they're painting the fins on the Little Mermaid. You'll never see their full potential."[20]
In the LA Weekly op-ed piece The Kids Aren't All Right:Is over-education killing young artists?, published in 2005, curator Aaron Rose wrote about an observed trend he recognized in Los Angeles's most esteemed art schools and their MFA programs, including CalArts. He uses the example of Supersonic,"a large exhibition […] that features the work of MFA students from esteemed area programs like CalArts, Art Center, UCLA, etc." In his observation of the showcase he examined, "[...] the work left me mostly empty and with a few exceptions seemed like nothing more than a rehash of conceptual ideas that were mined years ago." He went on to state that "these institutions are staffed with amazing talents (Mike Kelley and John Baldessari among them). Legions of creative young people flock to our city [Los Angeles] every year to work alongside their heroes and develop their talents with hopes of making it as an artist." He goes on to further state "What happens too often in these situations, though, is that we find young artists simply emulating their instructors, rather than finding and honing their own aesthetics and points of view about the world, society, themselves. In the beginnings of an artist's career, the power in his or her work should lie not in their technique or knowledge of art history or theory or business acumen, but in what one has to say." [21]
Pixar University is an in-house professional-development program within Pixar that expands the concept of employee education by broadening its focus from skills training to a more general fine-arts education.[22] It is speculated to be based on the educational model of CalArts. The program offers more than 110 courses: a complete filmmaking curriculum, classes on painting, drawing, sculpting and creative writing, which usually last four to sixteen weeks. These classes are available not only for animators, but everyone, from the security guard to cafeteria chef.[23] In this setting, employees are allowed to miss work for a full slate in classes (about 14 per week) to raise the level of the best, cross-train, and develop mastery in whatever subjects may interest them. The vision behind the university is for employees to try new things, work together better and test new ideas, but one of the most important benefits from the program is to build morale, spirit and communication among employees. The dean of Pixar University, Randy S. Nelson, explains: "We've made the leap from an idea-centered business to a people-centered business. Instead of developing ideas, we develop people. Instead of investing in ideas, we invest in people. We're trying to create a culture of learning, filled with lifelong learners. It's no trick for talented people to be interesting, but it's a gift to be interested. We want an organization filled with interested people.".[23]
CalArts graduates have joined or started successful pop bands, including: The Belle Brigade, The Weridos, Beelzabubba, The Rippingtons, Fitz and The Tantrums, London After Midnight, No Doubt, Mission of Burma, Radio Vago, Oingo Boingo, Liars, The Mae Shi, Ozomatli, and Jack Ruby.
Today, CalArts is recognized alongside Black Mountain College and the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design as one of the truly successful experiments in American arts education.[24]

Tropical storm Emily moves west in Caribbean. Will it hit US coast?
Forecasters say tropical storm Emily poses a more immediate threat to the Dominican Republic and Cuba, but it could become a minimal hurricane off the east coast of Florida this weekend.
Weather Underground/AP
New York
Tropical storm Emily – some 200 miles southeast of Puerto Rico and moving west – is being closely watched by weather forecasters who are trying to determine whether Emily becomes a hurricane that could have some effect on Florida or other parts of the East Coast.
Meteorologists believe the most immediate threat is to Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and possibly the Bahamas. In the current worst case scenario, they say, Emily becomes a low level hurricane that shakes the palm trees somewhere in Florida this coming weekend.
If Emily does come ashore, the storm would be the second this season to hit the US. At the end of last month, tropical storm Don came ashore in south Texas, but quickly lost its punch and dropped little rain on the drought-stricken state.
Emily is not expected to be the last tropical system to develop in the Atlantic Basin – the National Weather Service back in May forecast 12 to 18 named storms with six to 10 hurricanes and three to six major hurricanes.

Roethlisberger's words not damning
NFL from the sidelines
http://nflfromthesidelines.blogspot.com/ After hobnobbing around the NFL in the press boxes and sidelines, sports reporter Dale Lolley will let you know the insider scoop. Dale can also be heard as a sometime host on ESPN 970-AM. Follow him on Twitter at dlolleyor. Friday, January 27, 2012 Roethlisberger's words not damning Some people will try to make a mountain out of a molehill, which is what is happening with the Steelers jettisoning offensive coordinator Bruce Arians. But Ben Roethlisberger seems to have put things in proper perspective. "When I get back, I'm going to go up to Mr. Rooney's office and ask him what he wants from me, what he wants from this offense, because I think that's a viable question for him," Roethlisberger told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review on Thursday following an AFC practice at Hickam Air Force Base. "He's our owner and our boss, so I really would like to know kind of what he wants and where he sees our offense going because I'd like to tell him where I see us going." Roethlisberger is 100 percent correct, though he didn't identify which Rooney, Dan or Art II, that he was speaking about. The bottom line is that Dan Rooney has the title of chairman and Art II that of team president. If they were unhappy with the direction of the offense, they were free to express it. In fact, Art did just that a couple of years ago, saying the team needed to run the ball more effectively. And you know what, the Steelers made that a point of emphasis in 2010. But the offense obviously took a step backward in 2011, though the defense's lack of forced turnovers certainly didn't help. Still, the point is that Art Rooney II or Dan Rooney or whoever made the call for Arians to go - I believe it was Dan - was perfectly within their rights to do so. They are, after all, the guys writing the checks. And this isn't out of character for the Steelers. Remember, back in 1989, Dan Rooney ordered Chuck Noll to fire linebackers coach Jed Hughes. If Noll can be ordered to fire an assistant - one that Noll liked - why not Mike Tomlin? |
Re: Roethlisberger's words not damning
The job of an OC is to design the plays in the playbook and call plays during the game.
The QB makes or breaks the OC. If the OC calls XY slant, Z curl in, then the QB calls the play in the huddle. That play would be a 3 step drop and throw by the QB. If the QB doesn't throw the ball, the play breaks down. The O-line expects to hold their block for 2 seconds. The recievers run those routes in 2 seconds and look for the ball. BUT IF THE QB DOESN'T THROW THE BALL, YOU HAVE CHAOS. The QB has to scramble, the WR's run fire routes, the line looks for someone to block again. However the plays ends, it isn't by design. The dumb fan sitting on his couch watching the game and drinking beer says "What the hell was that? The line sucks!" Or "What kind of trash play was that? The play calling sucks!" Or "We need better WR's that can get open". The fact is, you can't judge an OC or his play design or play calling if you don't know how the play was designed or what play was called. The problem in Pittsburgh is that Ben doesn't pull the trigger. He needs too much time. He grew up making big plays by buying time, so that is a HABIT that he got into. Fans don't understand football. Thats the problem with forums like this. thats why people who DO understand football, usually don't appear around here. Running play calling is determined mostly by watching film. What technique does the D lineman usually play. D line trechnique is numbered for coaching purposes. If a D lineman lines up right in front of the O lineman, its one technique, if the D lineman lines up in the gap, its another technique. If the D lineman lines up onb the right shoulder of an O lineman, or the other shoulder, its yet another technique. The OC watchs film to see how the D line is lining up and noting down and distance. He picks the running plays he will call during the game, based on what he sees on film, and if it seems to pan out during the game. The problems arise if the RB doesn't get to the hole during the split second it is open. Or if the D line stunts, or if the LB's run blitz. Its a chess game. The DC on the other team is watching film and looking for blocking weaknesses on the O line of the other team. Some O linemen have trouble if a Dlineman lines up on one of their shoulders. OC and DC don't coach up players, the position coachs do. The best OC in the world can't help Kemoeatu handle a D line stunt on his right shoulder if he just can't handle it as a man and a player. The only thing an OC can do is replace Kemoeatu with another player. But that player might have a weakness. Maybe it is strwentgh and he can't handle a bull rush. The same thing goes for DB's. a WR might take the entire game to set-up a DB to bite on a deep out so he can beat him for a TD on a wheel route. If the game long set up works just a little bit and the Wr gets the DB off his hip and behind him a half step, and the QB makes a great throw, the DB gets beat. Forums like this are good for fan discussion, but I find it laughable - and sometimes disgusting- to read some of the posts. I can read a post and tell you with 99% certainty and accuracy whether or not the poster ever played the game or understands anything about the game. I am positive that 90% of the people who post here don't know the grade school fundamantals of the game. But then, thats why people love guys like Pouncey. Most teams play a 3-4. A center gets more than enough help against a 3-4. But when Pouncey has to play a 4-3 and handle 2 gaps, he gets his lunch taken from him. With most teams playing 3-4, centers get guard help from both guards on almost every play. The nose tackle in a 3-4 isn't even trying to get a pass rush, he just wants to plug 2 gaps in case of a run. Pouncey can't handle a 4-3 defense set. Yet the "fans" vote him for the pro bowl. And I've found that trying to educate a "fan" about football, only makes them angry. They are stupid and they love it. |

Yeah, if you go to a restaurant and eat shitty food, don't critique it because you aren't a world renowned chef with a full understanding of how the food is prepared. It could be several factors involved like an uneven cooking pan, low quality ingredients, or a food server who pissed in the mashed potatoes.
Obviously the chef couldn't possibly be held accountable for all of these various possible anomalies and the management should just burn the restaurant to the ground instead. http://r28.imgfast.net/users/2815/14...2800024739.gif I don't know how it works on your planet, but on mine, if you're a boss and you have an employee that is not doing the things he's supposed to be doing to help the company be successful and you just make excuses and defend him instead of correcting it or finding someone else, then YOU are going to be the one on the chopping block with your employers. |

Re: Roethlisberger's words not damning
Well I'm a Polack, so I try to keep things simple.
If we win, I'm happy and if we lose...not so much. But I really can't be bothered with all that "X-left, slot 33" crap. That's their problem. It's like my computer. All the binary code in a computer that's supposed to make it work is up to the geeks to figure out. So when I click on "Steeler Fever Forums" and it pops up right away, I figure that whatever the geeks did, they did it right and I'm happy. If I click on the forum and it doesn't pop up, I let loose with a few phrases that begin with "Mother" and figure that the geeks have some work to do. Then I go get something to eat. With football it's the same thing. As long as we score at least one more point than the other guys, I'm happy. If the other guys score one more point than we do, I let loose with a few phrases that begin with "Mother" and figure that the team has some work to do. Then I go get something to eat. It's great being a Polack! :applaudit: |
Re: Roethlisberger's words not damning
Calling the same WR screen so much during a game that opponents sniff out before the play even starts = not on arians? Don't tell me roethlisberger is holding the ball on designed 3 step drops, he's doing a 7-step drop almost 90% of the time, 10% of the other times it's a screen, lol. The OC needs to know what his O-line is capable of, and if they can't give him time, isn't that the OC's job to stop calling those plays? or at least you know, set the defense up for it? Remember the Titans game? the patriots game? watch it again and tell me if Ben's not able to get rid of the ball quick if the gameplan calls for it. Arians also said after the super bowl defeat last year, that he didn't take advantage of the woodson injury because he doesn't attack players. I think that right there is Arians telling the whole world he's stupid as hell. When the opponent loses their best player in the secondary, common sense might say you test the backup. Wasn't arians the one who called this play? he should have been fired on the spot. |

U.S. President Barack Obama will nominate White House chief of staff Jack Lew as his next Treasury Secretary on Thursday, replacing Timothy Geithner, according to a source familiar with the matter.
Lew had been widely expected to be tapped for the role. He has served as budget director for Obama and for former President Bill Clinton.
Last year, Lew was named Obama's chief of staff, and before that he had served as the White House budget director.
Over recent years, Lew, whose son studied in a yeshiva in Israel, has developed a close working relationship with Israeli Ambassador to the United States Michael Oren, and has met several times with Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon and Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz.
Lew, who served as budget director under President Bill Clinton and was a deputy to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton before going back to the budget job under Obama, has strong relationships with lawmakers. He was instrumental in negotiating the debt ceiling talks with Republicans in 2012.

Pay is good and hours are flexible.
The environment is very strange. Most of the workforce seems to be contractors, yet contractors seem to be looked down on and fired randomly, like they aren't worth anything. It's strange.
Take better control. Pay more attention to your employees (direct and non-direct) and realize they have families to support and homes to pay for just like you do.

Timothy Gilger, 31, of Canton, Ohio, was charged with receiving, distributing and possessing visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct
Mike Tobin, Public Affairs Specialist, (216) 622-3651
Timothy Gilger, 31, of Canton, Ohio, was charged with receiving, distributing and possessing visual depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct, said Steven M. Dettelbach, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Ohio.
The indictment charges that on or about November 14, 2011, Gilger knowingly received and distributed, by computer, numerous computer files, which contained visual depictions of real minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct. On December 9, 2011, images of child pornography were found on his E Machine desktop computer, according to the indictment.
If convicted, the sentence in this case will be determined by the court after consideration of the Federal Sentencing Guidelines which depend upon a number of factors unique to each case, including the defendant's prior criminal record, if any, the defendant's role in the offense and the unique characteristics of the violation. In all cases the sentence will not exceed the statutory maximum and in most cases it will be less than the maximum.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Carol M. Skutnik. The case was investigated by the Canton Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Ohio Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of guilt. A defendant is entitled to a fair trial in which it will be the government's burden to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Planning the installation
Article:HOWTO55061 | | | Created: 2011-06-29 | | | Updated: 2011-12-16 | | | Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/HOWTO55061 |
Table: Installation planning summarizes the high-level steps to install Symantec Endpoint Protection.
Table: Installation planning
Step | Action | Description |
Step 1 | Plan network architecture and review and purchase a license | Understand the sizing requirements for your network. In addition to identifying the endpoints requiring protection, scheduling updates, and other variables should be evaluated to ensure good network and database performance. See Network architecture considerations. For information to help you plan medium to large-scale installations, see the Symantec white paper, Sizing and Scalability Recommendations for Symantec Endpoint Protection. Purchase a license within 30 days (Small Business Edition) or 60 days (full version) of product installation. |
Step 2 | Review system requirements | Make sure your computers comply with the minimum system requirements and that you understand the product licensing requirements. See the knowledge base article: System Requirements for Symantec Endpoint Protection and Network Access Control 12.1 |
Step 3 | Prepare computers for installation | Uninstall other virus protection software from your computers, make sure system-level access is available, and open firewalls to allow remote deployment. See Preparing for client installation. See Preparing Windows operating systems for remote deployment. |
Step 4 | Open ports and allow protocols | Remotely deploying the client requires that certain ports and protocols are open and allowed between the Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager and the endpoint computers. |
Step 5 | Identify installation settings | Identify the user names, passwords, email addresses, and other installation settings. Have the information on hand during the installation. |
Step 6 | Install the management server | Install Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager. If the network that supports your business is small and located in one geographic location, you need to install only one Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager. If your network is geographically dispersed, you may need to install additional management servers for load balancing and bandwidth distribution purposes. If your network is very large, you can install additional sites with additional databases and configure them to share data with replication. To provide additional redundancy, you can install additional sites for failover support |
Step 7 | Migrate Symantec legacy virus protection software | If you are running legacy Symantec protection, you usually migrate policy and group settings from your older version. |
Step 8 | Prepare computers for client installation | Prepare for client installation as follows:
Step 9 | Install clients | Install the Symantec Endpoint Protection client on your endpoint computers. Symantec recommends that you also install the client on the computer that hosts Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager. |
Step 10 | Post-installation tasks | See Getting up and running on Symantec Endpoint Protection for the first time. |

ReadEnjoy an idyllic Cotswolds retreat at Dormy House
By Mark RussellIn a property spot as aesthetically hot as the north Cotswolds it takes more than honey-coloured limestone for a country-house hotel to stand out from the inn crowd. For Dormy House, near Broadway – the quaintest of villages – this added draw comes in the form of a new spa complex and two delightful restaurants, the Potting Shed and the more formal Garden Room.

tasty quick and friendly
Posted on 02 / 01 / 2015Great place to have lunch or a quick meal. Fast food style but with healthy options like soup. The staff are very helpful and friendly.
Great place to have lunch or a quick meal. Fast food style but with healthy options like soup. The staff are very helpful and friendly.
I'll have to go to this a few times more to be sure, but while there were some typical types of flavors. Some were rather strange to me.
Looks pretty new inside.
The staff here has always been eager to help.
The food is mostly ok. It isn't the way I eat per se but its generally edible and fun. They have a fountain drink and so forth.
While I wouldn't seek it out, I would stop there in that area which isn't a veg mecca.
always very clean
They have allergy menus, inc a garlic-free menu.
Updated from previous review on Saturday July 19, 2014
When we were there they said they made all their protein dishes. They do not! They are heating up Gardein products. So be advised if you don't eat that way.
An extensive menu and everything we got tasted very good. If this was in NYC I would eat here all the time. Very convenient and fast.
It's nice to have vegan options when I'm in the SLU area, but it's pricey and the food is ok (not great, but edible).
We hit Seattle with our eyes on vegan donuts from Mighty-O and realized that we couldn't survive on sugar alone. We chose Veggie Grill for supper knowing that vegetarian diners can be hit or miss - this was a definite hit!
The guy that helped us was so kind, welcoming, and friendly. I think they have a policy to be especially welcoming to first-timers (and they bus your table) but he really went over the top. It made me happy I had come and want to come back.
The food was great, especially the chilli, the soup, and the onion rings. The chilli was really stellar. We also got a b-wing salad and it was absolutely excellent! The burger we got was actually the least exciting thing. It was good, but not special. We wished we had ordered more appetizers instead :)
Lastly, it's worth trying out their homemade lemonade and strawberry lemonade. YUM!
Highly recommended and the prices are great. Will definitely go back the next time I am in Seattle.
So Veggie Grill is not the most amazing vegan restaurant out there, or in Seattle but it has a good menu, great fast food, is clean and organised. And it has kale on most items. What else to get!!
We stopped there on the way to Portland. First time we had Hail to the Kale salad, Bali bliss burger, with a side of mac'n'cheese, onion rings and it was all delicious.
Second time, we had the All American stack and the v-burger. Didn't like the texture of the "beef", it was a bit too authentic but it was still ok. The chipotle sauce is delicious!
Didn't get to try the carrot cake but it will be for next time.
The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the items on the menu. Will definitely go back.
I fell in love with the Veggie Grill in Portland and was thrilled they made it to Seattle! Hands down the best chickn buffalo wings I have tasted. The fried chickn plate is a win, as well as the carrot cake. They also had someone come around offering sauces free of charge- try the chipotle ranch :) Love the Veggie Grill!

Rite Aid Reduces Flu Shots To $24.99 Through December 15 In Support Of National Influenza Vaccination Week
As flu activity increases across the country, Rite Aid (NYSE: RAD) is encouraging Americans to get vaccinated against the flu during National Influenza Vaccination Week, which runs December 2-8. In support of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) annual effort, from now through December 15, flu shots will be available from Rite Aid certified immunizing pharmacists at all Rite Aid pharmacies at a reduced price of only $24.99*, subject to state regulations. Flu shots are covered by many insurance plans, including Medicare Part B.
"The CDC is reporting an increase in flu activity in parts of the country and expects to see more activity during the winter months, which is when flu season typically peaks," said Robert Thompson, Rite Aid Executive Vice President of Pharmacy. "National Influenza Vaccination Week is the perfect time for us to remind anyone who hasn't done so already that it isn't too late to visit their local Rite Aid for their flu shot. By getting vaccinated now, they'll be protecting themselves and those around them throughout this year's flu season."
Created by the CDC in 2005, National Influenza Vaccination Week (NIVW) is a national observance that was established to highlight the importance of continuing influenza vaccination, as well as fostering greater use of flu vaccine after the holiday season into January and beyond.
The CDC recommends that everyone six months and older get a flu shot as the first and most important step in preventing the flu. Flu season in the United States can begin as early as October and can continue through mid-May, with the highest concentration of cases occurring between December and April. Flu symptoms include headache, body aches, fever, fatigue, sore throat and dry cough. Additional information about the upcoming flu season can be found at www.cdc.gov.
Anyone who gets a flu shot at Rite Aid will receive a free coupon booklet that offers over $100 in savings on products available at Rite Aid, while supplies last*. Members of Rite Aid's free customer loyalty program, wellness+, will earn 25 points when they get their flu shot (prescriptions paid for in whole or in part by state or federal healthcare programs such as Medicare or Medicaid and prescriptions filled in New York and New Jersey are not eligible by law for accrual of points). Rite Aid pharmacists are also able to administer vaccinations for 12 other diseases, such as pertussis (whooping cough), shingles and pneumonia, subject to state regulations. To learn more about Rite Aid's year-round immunization program, visit www.riteaid.com. Rite Aid is one of the nation's leading drugstore chains with more than 4,600 stores in 31 states and the District of Columbia with fiscal 2012 annual revenues of $26.1 billion. Information about Rite Aid, including corporate background and press releases, is available through Rite Aid's website at www.riteaid.com. *From 12/2/12-12/15/12, in recognition of National Influenza Vaccination Week. Discount applies to standard Flu or Fluzone Intradermal dose only. *No purchase required for coupon book. Coupons valid through 3/2/13. Vaccine and coupon books available while supplies last.
