J. Paul Peszko looks into the growing business trend of VFX companies branching out into 3D animation.
While Sony Pictures Imageworks took 10 years to plan its new animation division, which launches Sept. 29, 2006, with the opening of Open Season, the digital revolution is now changing the rest of the CG landscape at a much faster rate. Whereas the major studios had been the sole suppliers of animated features, smaller players are now rapidly expanding to provide product for the box office. For example, Australian vfx house Animal Logic is in production on its first 3D-animated feature, Happy Feet, which opens November through Warner Bros. Pictures.
In London, Framestore CFC has recently formed Framestore Feature Animation. Founded with the aim of becoming London's premiere permanent feature animation studio, Framestore Feature Animation has commenced work on its first project, The Tale of Despereaux, in partnership with Universal Studios. Meanwhile, Santa Monica-based Digital Dimension opened a feature animation studio in Montreal some two years ago and now has several animated features in the pipeline.
But its not just feature entertainment that is fueling the expansion. Guava, a New York visual effects studio, has significantly expanded its 3D animation department to keep up with growing client demand for character animation, effects animation, virtual 3D sets, compositing and related effects.
In that same regard, David Waller and Geoff McAuliffe, co-owners of bi-coastal Brickyard VFX, have taken the shrink and grow approach by launching a new 3D division to be run by Jay Lichtman, Yafei Wu and Robert Sethi. Lichtman was head of production and Wu was senior 3D lead at Glassworks and Sethi was lead character animator at Double Negative.
According to Waller, expansion was a matter of necessity. If the people arent in house, you dont have access to them all the time. It seems like with CG, people get gobbled up quickly on big projects and disappear for a while. So if you expect to be competitive with these higher end jobs, then you need to get a (CG) department in house.
What prompted Brickyard, with offices in Boston and Santa Monica, to go to London to select talent? Jay Lichtman, is a talented guy an uncommonly talented guy, acknowledges Waller, and we heard he wanted to come back to the States. We thought that maybe he would be a good person to lead the department. And he had suggested a couple of guys [Wu and Sethi] he knew in London that were really, really good and that really wanted to move to L. A. As a team, he thought the three of them might be able to function well right off the bat from day one and start making pictures. So, it takes more than raw talent to set up a new CG core.
Besides skill and synergy, Waller pointed out another contributing factor to the hire: versatility. One of the things we liked about these two artists (Wu and Sethi) was that they werent so far down any road that they were so specialized that they wouldnt be able to work in a small place. You get some people who can just do tracking or they can just do shading. Thats their thing. These guys could do pretty much everything.
How long has Brickyard been planning this expansion? Probably six months with just tinkering with the idea, says Waller, and then about four or five months in finding the people and getting them in place. It was a little difficult because we imported them from Europe. There was some paperwork involved that made it a little more complicated. Then it was just weeks or a month to get it physically set up, and were constantly adding on to it as we get jobs.
Brickyards 3D department quickly expanded in January to eight with several projects going at the same time. Now weve gone back to the three core guys, explains Waller. And right now were looking to pick up a couple of people full time. We try to keep the core small and then grow or shrink as the jobs go so we dont have that overhead until we have a bigger client base.
On a somewhat larger scale, Digital Dimension began its expansion some two years ago. Digital Dimension president Ben Girard says it was no easy task by any means. Basically two-and-a-half years ago, we opened another studio in Montreal. When you do that its amazing how you discover rapidly how things get more complicated very fast. Its not only adding more seats and artists; its a new layer of management. Especially in this case we had a lot of (in-house) artists that were XSI trained for 3D, and we had to basically make sure that everyone (they hired) was trained in that specific software. And the biggest thing, too, when you man the seats and add the artists, you realize very quickly that the management or the orchestration of the production is not the same anymore.
The larger the project, the higher the stakes, so Girard and his staff needed to put in place an orchestration and asset management system to keep track of all that additional work. You need to make sure the alignment of the company remains just as tight as if it were a small group. We had to put in a ton of effort and money. Teaming up with Microsoft, they now have in place a task system so the producer can be accountable in real time. Not only that but were in the middle right now of tying everything into our accounting system. So in real time we can see where our budgets are going and have a better reporting mechanism if you will.
The firm expects to have 100 employees in Montreal very soon. We had to add 50 employees almost from scratch and now were adding another 25. With expansion, what would happen is freaky. All your resources are already tied in [to current projects]. Its very difficult to get the recruiting going, and the infrastructure is very difficult to manage at that point because its all busy working on the show. Theres quite a bit of planning and orchestration basically to make that work.
If opening a new studio was such a monumental task, why did the company feel it was something they had to do? There are seven major studios out there [producing feature animation], but I think that is changing with the digital economy, Girard adds. Our goal was to get into content ownership. In order to jump start that successfully requires a lot of planning because you dont want to destroy your current business obviously.
Just how much planning? I would say it took us a year to plan before we opened the other office. First of all we needed to come up with the right people and make sure we had enough projects in the queue to afford it because you dont want it to fold two months after you open it. So, you have to make sure your team is ready to go with the right project and the right timing, and when the timing hits, boom, then you do it.
That right project was The Legend of Secret Pass, a 3D-animated feature they are co-producing with JC2 Ent. For us, it was important to get a pipeline with a CG feature in place so we could tag on more projects and move toward our goal of content ownership. And tag on more feature projects they have, including Race to Mars, The Covenant, the new Will Farrell feature currently titled, Talladega Nights, and another project in development with Walden Media. In addition to its feature projects, the companys visual effects work on feature films continues to increase at its studio in Los Angeles, where they have added 15 new CG artists over the past two years.
But its not only vfx companies expanding into 3D. The Van Nuys, California-based interactive game company, Brain Zoo has taken its first step. Were trying to expand our horizons to get into different markets because essentially the techniques and the way we do things works for both industries, says Brain Zoos president/ceo Mohammad Davoudian. One [feature film] is high-resolution, which were able to spend more time on vs. games which you have to do on a quick turn around. With that in mind, Davoudian has hired André Bustanoby to supervise visual effects at Brain Zoo Studios. Bustanoby brings 12 years of film and television visual effects experience to the Brain Zoo team, having worked on such high-profile projects as Titanic, Fantastic 4, Sky Captain and, most recently, Eight Below.
What were looking at doing with Andre is two-fold, continues Davoudian. Obviously getting into the visual effects side of things at the same time mixing what Andre knows with the game industry and vice versa using game technology within the feature film industry.
Somewhat new to me, and Im getting my head into it very quickly, admits Bustanoby, is the interactive gaming side of things. Although its a bit newer, its maybe where visual effects were in the late 80s or early 90s. Now more than ever you need to tell good stories and tell good stories visually, whether it be through straight up cinematic storytelling or utilizing the uniqueness of that medium. So its very exciting to explore as were designing shots or were designing looks. Were working on new lighting methodologies or how to tell an interesting story visually using this new realtime technology.
Davoudian adds, When were doing a lot of the cinematic and interactive work theres a certain pipeline we have to set up and move with speed because in a game cinematic or interactive arena you dont have the luxury of time that you might have in a feature in order to do your shots. Pretty much most of the projects last anywhere from six to 12 weeks, and you have to go from storyboarding all the way through rendering and delivery within that amount of time, which is really compressed. Its like guerilla filmmaking. You have to figure out ways around everything in order to cut your time down to be able to complete the project. But with every project, things are more and more complex, especially now since things are all going HD. Everything has to be at a much higher resolution. So, the two industries are colliding pretty quickly.
Maya is Brain Zoos core animation and modeling software. In addition, Bustanoby has added some ZBrush and SOFTIMAGE|XSI. For rendering they use the Maya native renderer and mental ray. But, as Bustanoby explains, he is not opposed to making changes as Brain Zoo expands in the future. The philosophy that I have is that the tools should not dictate the kind of artist one hires and collaborates with. If an artist comes in and theyre an exceptional sculptor, and where theyre prolific is say ZBrush or XSI or LightWave, then were going to consider what that artist brings to the table with that tool and their talent but also with the pipeline issues that a new tool brings in and how to open it up a bit to allow multiple tool inputs.
"Theres a business sense to consider as well, if youve got 12 million different packages and a lot of support, contracts and inherent infrastructural logistics to deal with. So, its definitely a balance, and were looking at keeping the pipeline as streamline as we can, but also flexible, open and, at the end of the day, something that can be supported from a business standpoint.
Talking about his role as the new head of production at New York City visual effects house Guava, Jim Riche says, I came on board officially in June of last year, and one of my main tasks was building this company up. And building 3D was the main, single most important ingredient. To that end, Riche hired veteran 3D animator Steve Talkowski as director of animation. With more than a decade of 3D experience, Talkowski comes to Guava from New York's Hornet, where, as animation director, he collaborated closely with Guava, on several projects.
Talkowski says that, despite some interesting growing pains, he has been able to put together a solid team, consisting of himself and three other new hires. Adrian Graham, the head td, comes to Guava from a feature background and also does seminars for Alias. David Bernkopf is a digital products placement specialist and onsite effects supervisor. Spyro Servos is another td that Riche considers to be an all-around artist who can give them just about anything they need.
As with most CG expansions, synergy played an important role at Guava. Its always tough having to go through demo reels and see whos got what to offer, Talkowski admits. I like to find A-list people because thats who Im used to working with. So, you just have to go through and weed out the reels and then, once you have the interview process, see if you guys are going to mesh or not. Now that were all together, everyone is working out pretty well.
So, what exactly does this expansion do for Guava? Now we have full capability with our sister companies, Freestyle Collective and Nice Shoes that makes us competitive with anyone else in New York, Riche states and sees the expansion continuing. Were expanding even now. Weve got nine workstations right now, all running Maya 7. Weve just installed a shared media system called Sledgehammer made by Maximum Throughput. It has two terabytes expandable of storage along with another Maximum Throughput system called Xstoner. It allows all of our workstations and all four of our Flames and one Inferno to see each other and share storage. They can move files around at will. We no longer have to export from Flame and import. Xstoner allows you access directly into Flame.
Riche believes that business is picking up and getting better and better because of the expansion. Weve done some really good work recently where we combined 3D with visual effects off the Flame. Those projects include two spots for PODS, the storage system, a spot for Folgers, and another for ongoing client, Maybeline, which is using 3D for the first time with Guavas help.
The fact that producers enjoy the cost effectiveness of the one-stop shop could make the current trend in 3D expansion a long-term one. Is it possible that the standard vfx house will someday be as obsolete as a VCR? Dont blink.

Negotiating the best deal; money talk John Atton offers his expert advice on cutting outgoings in the current mortgage market.
AT a time when current mortgage deals are coming to an end, with daily reminders of the increase in the cost of living and a feeling that debts are taking over, now is the time to arrange a full financial check-up which could ease the worries and help you survive the credit crunch.
By carrying out a full review, the chances are high that you could reduce your monthly outgoings and make living more affordable.
With mortgage packages becoming more available, an increased number of lenders who will look at 95% mortgages and many lenders re-pricing their interest rates, now is a good time to review your finances to ensure that you are paying as little as possible. In my experience when mortgage interest rates are higher, having an affordable payment becomes a priority and there are a number of ways in which this can be achieved : Restructure your mortgage
THIS normally happens when your current package comes to an end and your payment is set to rise.
By having a full review, all options can be considered and one way to achieve affordable repayments is to extend the term of your mortgage. When rates fall, the term can be shortened providing payments are affordable. This method can also be used if you want to borrow additional money for home improvements.
Consolidate debts
THIS can be considered when there is a need to make monthly payments affordable, particularly when mortgage rates have increased.
The advantage of arranging this is that it should result in lower total monthly outgoings. However, one should be aware that if you do consider this option the overall cost of the loans would be greater as the loan would be over a longer period. If you decide on this option, your adviser will show you what the additional cost of adding the loans to your mortgage would be.
This action can only be considered where there is sufficient equity in the property that you own.
It is important to get the best qualified advice and you should ensure that the broker is fully independent and has access to all available packages and does not, as in some cases, only have access to a limited panel of lenders. If you want to know that the broker you intend to use is fully qualified, check to see if they are a member of the Personal Finance Society.
Before receiving any advice ensure you are given an initial disclosure document which shows the status of the person you are dealing with, what level of advice they are authorised to give, how they get their income and a statement as to what fee they are going to charge for their advice. If a fee is to be charged an agreement form must be completed by the adviser at the initial interview.
You should also ensure that full details of all your circumstances are taken by the adviser so that both advice and a recommendation is made.
While there is still some way to go before normality returns to both the housing and mortgage markets, it is reassuring to see that there are signs that lenders are making lending more achievable and with the right expert independent advice it is possible to secure competitive mortgages.

USCIS announces newly revised Form I-9 with 60-day phase-in period.
On March 8, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced a newly revised Employment Eligibility Verification form, Form I-9, which employers are required to use to verify the identity and employment authorization of newly hired employees. Employers should start to use the new Form I-9 immediately. Use of prior versions of the Form I-9 will no longer be permitted beginning May 7, 2013, which is 60 days from the announcement's publication in the Federal Register. The Federal Register announcement can be viewed here.
What Does This Mean for My Company?
Employers should begin to use the new version of the Form I-9, "(Rev. 03/08/13)N," immediately. However, USCIS recognizes that some employers, particularly those who rely on electronic Form I-9 platforms, may need additional time to make necessary updates to their business processes to allow for use of the new form. Accordingly, USCIS is providing employers with a period of 60 days to make necessary changes to their current Form I-9 protocols.
Software developers that provide third-party Form I-9 software will be expected to reconfigure their products during the 60-day transition period and will be required to use only the new version of the Form I-9 as of May 7. Employers who are unable to make an effective transition to an electronic version of the new form by using their existing electronic platforms will still be required to implement a compliant system for completing the new Form I-9 by May 7.
What Are the Changes to the Form I-9?
The key revisions to the Form I-9 include the following:
Where Can I Find the New Form?
An electronic version of the new Form I-9, "(Rev. 03/08/13)N," is available on the USCIS website.
How Can Morgan Lewis Help?

CSUSM chief seeks to reduce dropout rate
McTarnaghan also called for the campus to become more "user friendly," using imagination and flexibility in how faculty members schedule their time and how they tap into campus facilities. He asked that advisers work this fall with students to determine their needs for the spring term. In this way, he said, the university's academic schedule can be built "based upon known demand" and students can get the classes they need at times when they can take them.
He also urged developing a "technology infrastructure" to support teachers offering instruction at off-campus sites that include homes, community centers and places of business.
Montanari said more work could be done on campus to address the increased use of the Internet to make taking courses more convenient for greater numbers of students.
"That is something that we have not embraced as completely as I think a lot of people would have liked us to," he said.
In other matters, McTarnaghan said the search for his replacement -- the third permanent president of CSUSM -- proceeds on schedule. He said he expected the CSU board of trustees to make a choice by November and the new president to be on board in January. The new chief executive would replace Alexander Gonzalez, who joined CSU Sacramento as president last month.
Also, Marion T. Reid, the library dean, said she expects the Kellogg Library, the university's first free-standing library, to open when the spring term begins Jan. 20.

Coimbatore: Digvijay Singh struck form at the right moment to win his maiden title in the PGTI Players Championship at the par-72 Coimbatore Golf Club course here on Saturday.
A one-over 73 in the final round and an overall tally of five-under 283 saw Digvijay edge out joint leader Rahul Ganapathy (Mysore) in a thrilling finish on the last hole. With this win, Digvijay moved to the top of the PGTI Order of Merit for 2007-08.
All eyes were on Vijay Kumar, Rahul and Digvijay at the start. They battled like never before which saw the lead changing hands a few times.
In fact, Digivjay bogeyed the first, third, fourth and fifth as his putting let him down badly. He made three putts on the third, fourth and fifth and picked up a stroke with a birdie on the ninth to make the turn at a not-so-bright three-over.
Digivjay put aside his poor show at the start and walked the course in style with seven pars and two birdies on the return journey. It was a 15-foot putt for birdie on the 15th and a 20-foot putt for a birdie on the 18th that turned the tide and the title in his favour.
"It was a very satisfying day for me. I have been knocking on the doors of victory for quite some time. I am glad that I have finally posted a win after a gap of two years," said Digvijay, who also finished runner-up in two PGTI events in the 2007-08 season.
Rahul fired a two-over 74 on the final day to finish runner-up with a total of four-under 284. Shamim Khan was a further three strokes behind in third place.
Chennai's Darshan Veeraraghavan (77, 82, 84, 77) walked away with the amateur title. Both Veeraraghavan and Coimbatore's Vignesh Ranga Rao ended up with a final tally of 32-over 320. However, the former clinched the crown on count-back.

VORTEX2 Coverage Results in Live On-Air and Online Stream of Super Cell in
For the first time ever, TWC is broadcasting live transmissions from moving vehicles as they track the storm, providing compelling video coverage as well as real-time blog and Twitter updates at www.weather.com/vortex. Active weather continues this weekend in the region and the TWC team will continue tracking storms with Vortex2 in anticipation of potential tornados, delivering comprehensive on air and online coverage.
The Weather Channel team traveling with the VORTEX2 group is led by Bettes, co-host of Weather Center on TWC. Bettes and three digital journalists have been reporting on the project since it started in May, offering viewers new segments about tornadoes, live reports on the formulation and movement of tornadoes as they occur, and behind-the-scenes stories about the team of scientists and their technology.
VORTEX2 (Verification of the Origin of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment 2) is the largest field experiment in history to explore tornadoes. The VORTEX2 project is designed to study tornadoes as they've never been seen before to better understand how, when and why tornadoes form and to help improve alert skill. The project is made up of nearly 100 scientists, 40 research vehicles and students from sixteen different universities and academic organizations in

Hot Sheet: Stranger Danger
BY Advocate.com Editors

5. TV: The Carrie Diaries
On the heels of last week's episode, which focused on the effects of the AIDS crisis on the gay community of New York City in the 1980s, tonight's new entry of The Carrie Diaries finds Carrie (AnnaSophia Robb), Mouse (Ellen Wong), Maggie (Katie Findlay), and Walt (Brendan Dooling) deciding to go to their senior prom — at the Waldorf Astoria — together for a final hurrah. Larissa (Freema Agyeman) offers Carrie an opportunity that makes her rethink her plans for the next year, while Mouse learns a secret about Donna LaDonna (Chloe Bridges) that could threaten her reign as queen bee. Meanwhile, Sebastian (Austin Butler) hides a big decision from Carrie. The Carrie Diaries airs at 8 p.m. Eastern on the CW. — Jase Peeples

The Railways have issued a red alert in preparedness to thwart any attack by terrorists on trains and its properties during the Durga Puja festivities. Railway Board Chairman S.S.Khurana said that in the wake of fears being expressed in certain quarters, a red alert had been sounded and the authorities concerned were directed to keep a vigil to thwart any nefarious designs by terrorists.
Even with regard to threats from naxalites, Mr. Khurana maintained that the States were consulted and the
Railway Protection Force(RPF) were asked to keep a watchful eye on the safety of the tracks to ensure smooth running of trains.
Earlier speaking at the Safety Convention 2009, Mr. Khurana linked safety with productivity and maintained that
with investments in safety the profitability of the railways increased significantly. It not only contributed to productivity but also helped industry maximize efficiency and minimise downtime. The railways have decided to man 5,000 out of the 17,000 unmanned level crossings in the first phase. Mr. Khurana said that more people would be recruited for the purpose.

Gholson: Manziel the latest example of poor recruiting at UT
For several years now, Mack Brown has been branded as a not much of a football coach, but one of the top recruiters in college football.
I agree with the coaching part. But I've changed my mind about his recruiting genius.
Tonight, Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel should become the Aggies' first Heisman Trophy winner since John David Crow won it way back in 1957.
Johnny Football was recruited heavily by both Oregon and Stanford before the Aggies snatched him up.
Austin is just 85 miles north of Kerrville, where Manziel was a star at Tivy High School.
Texas reportedly thought the 6-foot-1 quarterback was too short.
Now, just look at this year's NFL draft.
Andrew Luck, Robert Griffin III and Ryan Tannehill were the top three quarterbacks taken. All have become rookie starters in the NFL.
Luck, from Houston Stafford, went to Stanford.
RG3, from Copperas Cove, went to Baylor.
Tannehill, from Big Spring, went to A&M.
With all the resources Texas has, don't you think at least one of these guys would have played for the Longhorns?
Our great state once produced the top running backs in the country — like Joe Washington, Eric Dickerson, Billy Sims, Earl Campbell and Ricky Williams.
But today the focus is on quarterbacks.
Three of the top six passing leaders this year are Texans.
No. 3 Matthew Stafford played at Highland Park, and No. 4 Drew Brees came from Austin Westlake. The rookie Luck is No. 6.
Andy Dalton (Katy), RG3 and Tannehill rank Nos. 14, 19 and 20 on the NFL passing charts.
The Cardinals' Kevin Kolb, from Stephenville, is No. 32 despite being injured almost the whole year. And another Austin Westlake QB, Nick Foles, is No. 37 despite starting only three game as an Eagles rookie
The eight NFL quarterbacks that I mentioned played college football at Georgia, Purdue, Stanford, Arizona, TCU, Baylor, A&M and Houston.
Three of the eight are from Austin Westlake High, just a few miles down the road from the UT campus.
And Brees, now a star with the New Orleans Saints, is the nephew of Marty Akins, who was an All-American quarterback at UT back in the 70s.
I'm betting Brees would have signed with UT if someone had made a decent offer. Why else he would choose Purdue over the Longhorns?
So now do you still think Mack Brown is really such a great recruiter?
You can wait to answer that question while you watch either David Ash or Case McCoy quarterback the Longhorns in the Alamo Bowl.

Small results. I love the idea but have to give it a poor rating as it just doesn't live up to its claim of coffee shops all over the world. It missed many of my favourite places in Hong Kong and Tokyo. And the ones it did show it had zero information in the description as well as no reviews. In short, a long way to go.

Awesome coffer app!

Webmail providers are motivated to offer vast email storage not only to keep up with competitors, but also because the more data users keeps in their inboxes, the less likely they will be to abandon their accounts, Takahashi said. "It's a way to increase the stickiness of their service," he said. This in turn translates into more ad revenue for them, since webmail services are advertising vehicles, he said. At the same time, the cost of storage is plummeting, so the investment required to provide larger inboxes is a fraction of what it was five years ago.
Laszlo recommends that providers consider increasing the size of messages that can be sent and received, considering that people are sending large video and photo files via email more frequently each day. Currently, most webmail providers cap message sizes at between 10MB and 60MB. However, as pledges of unlimited storage become more common, Laszlo forecasts a lull in webmail improvements.
"The webmail industry goes through cycles where there's a large amount of innovation and things then quiet down for a while, before there's another burst of innovation. We're kind of at the tail end of the innovation spurred by Gmail," said Laszlo.

Ballots set for November election in W.Va.
CHARLESTON -- Barring death, disqualification or withdrawal, West Virginia's ballot for the November general election is set.
Friday marked the deadline for independent candidates to submit signatures to get on the ballot.
One hopeful for U.S. House and five in state legislative races qualified with signatures. Affiliations include Independent and American Freedom Party.
The highest profile candidate to collect enough signatures is Independent Ed Rabel, a former CBS and NBC News correspondent. He faces Democrat Nick Casey and Republican Alex Mooney in the open 2nd Congressional District race.
The number of signatures required is 1 percent of all votes cast in that same race last election.
Along with Democrats and Republicans, Mountain and Libertarian party candidates don't need to collect signatures for ballot privileges.
The Mountain Party fielded one candidate for U.S. Senate and six for statehouse slots. Libertarians feature one for U.S. Senate, one for U.S. House and three for statehouse races.
Parties maintain ballot status by receiving at least 1 percent of the vote in the previous gubernatorial election. They can either hold primary elections or conventions to pick candidates.
In recent years, voter statewide have started gravitating away from the two major political parties.
Democrats still make up about half of all West Virginia voters, while Republicans are close to 29 percent. But Democrats lost almost 9 percentage points of their share since 2004, while the GOP dropped about 1 percentage point.
In the same timeframe, voters registered outside of the two parties jumped from 12 percent of the electorate to 21 percent. The general election is Nov. 4.

A month-long series of events focussing on child rights and week-long "Childline se dosti" events were launched at "Chinnara Thangudhama" on Thursday to mark Children's Day.
Asha Nayak, Chairperson of the Child Welfare Committee, said though children are born as citizens of the nation, there are denied fundamental rights. It is imperative for the public to participate along with the government and non-governmental organisations to ensure that children are not deprived of their rights. "We have all seen children begging on the street or under-aged children working, but we have not done much. These set of programmes will go a long way in giving children their due rights," she said.
Ritesh Shetty, vice-president of the Dakshina Kannada Zilla Panchayat, inaugurated the celebrations. Ms. Nayak inaugurated the week-long "Childline se Dosti" programmes. To be held till December 15, this is the 10th year that the district had been observing the month-long series of programmes.
"Though we celebrate Children's Day once a year, we have to ask how many children have dropped out of school due to economical or social problems during the rest of the year. Many are forced to beg, or carried around like a prop while others beg," said Mr. Shetty.
There is a need to increase awareness among school-going children on the ills of consuming drugs so that they do not "fall into the trap" when they go to college, he said.
Drawing on her experience on children who have "fallen in the trap", Hilda Rayappan, founder director of Prajna Counseling Centre, said a high number of college students use marijuana as it is easily available.
She urged the people to "get out of the mentality" that only children from the district or from the State need to be helped.
The month-long series of programmes will cover all departments, including the Police, which has formed Special Juvenile Police Units, and the Department of Women and Child Development.

Today, Glenn Beck blamed the UAH killings on "far-left political extremism."
Crooks and Liars has the video:
Beck bases his bizarre assertion on the following quote from a Boston Herald story on Dr. Amy Bishop's shooting spree at the University of Alabama, Huntsville in which she shot 6 people, 3 of whom died:
"A family source said Bishop, a mother of four children – the youngest a third-grade boy – was a far-left political extremist who was "obsessed" with President Obama to the point of being off-putting."
Well, sure, that explains it!
As Crooks and Liars makes clear, there is no indication that Bishop's attack was politically motivated, but was a reaction to a tenure dispute. Not that Beck ever needs any kind of evidence before making sensational claims on his TV and radio show broadcasts.
Trying to tie the UAH shooting to "far-left political extremism" is Beck's confounding attempt to try and demonstrate that "liberal" news organizations are failing to report violence on the political left. Unfortunately for Beck, there are several instances in which right-wing extremism can be tied to recent violent actions including the murder of Dr. Tiller by Scott Roeder, Ricard Poplawski's attack on police officers, and James Von Brunn. Liking a president to the point of being "off-putting" just doesn't cut it.
Once again, Glenn Beck is engaging in rhetoric that incites extremists like the Roeders, Poplawskis, and Von Brunns of the world–something Beck has done time and time again.
Glenn Beck continues to be, not only irresponsible but dangerous.

Once again, he has opened his mouth and proven how stupid he really is. He is a narcissistic pig, likes to hear himself talk, and knows nothing. What a shame that he waste good air on earth.
Once again Beck is is at the helm of the U.S.S. Stupid, along with his little cronies and puppets. Beck is waste of space, what is scary is how many people listen to him, but what can you expect in a country of uninformed Sheep.
Beck is a dangerous man.
Anyone else think we might have been better off when "news", etc. had to be carved on a rock? (Perhaps that is the era Mr. Beck belonged in anyway.) At any rate, it would take a lot longer to fill the air with his "personality".
Any please explain to me why people (on both sides) who cry the loudest about FREEDOM OF SPEECH seem to be the least tolerant of other opinions.
You cannot currently send a star to Steve because you have done so within the last week.
"Silencing one leads to the silence of millions. I would never call for you to be silenced sir."
Mr. Diamond Glen Beck is guilty of being a little goofy in the interest of entertainment and being occasionally wrong. He is usually correct. Certainly as much or more than most other pundits. Certainly as much or more than Katey Couric or Tom Brokaw. Unlike them he doesn't lie to us about not being biased.
As for Treason... I'm not too impressed by someone who has no respect for the first or second amendment.
Silencing one leads to the silence of millions. I would never call for you to be silenced sir. As for the second amendment, I think it would be especially sexist and vicious to tell the elderly or women and men who are not as physical as some 21 year old street thug that they need to be at the thugs mercy.
He doesn't have any. The police are usually minutes away at best. Last time I checked I can open most locked doors faster with my shoulder than a person can lock them. What a strong healthy person can do with a baseball bat in 30 seconds is something most people wouldn't want to see. What three or four can do is something we don't even want to think about.
A gun changes that. A gun at least gives the weak a chance.
Disarmament leads to ultimate bullying and cruelty.
I agree with you on organic farming. Especially with respect to food animals, what we do to them is beyond horrifying and is driving me towards vegetarianism. The slashing and burning of the rain forests is also disturbing. These are real issues backed by undeniable truth that we need to be concerned about and respect.
That said, the answer isn't pushing rediculous lies about the icebergs disappearing in the next 7years or using methods that would make McCarthy blush to silence and destroy scientists that dare to point out poor science and downright fraud.
I also find it frightening that people who disagree with the global warming movement because of the obvious lies and propaganda find themselves labeled as traitors, deniers, evil or mentally ill. These are the tactics that lead to violence and atrocity. These are the tactics of Hitler, Stalin and the Taliban. This is supposed to be about science.
I'm not very religious but I believe freedom of speech to be a sacred right. Without it we will never be more than slaves to whoever has the most guns and the most sickeningly brutal methods. Lets do better.
Glen Beck Is a traitor! What Glen Beck does is treason. By extension, FOX is complicit in treason. They say they broadcast news. Our founding fathers established a free press so that an informed electorate armed with the truth can make the best choices to "...form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our posterity,..." I know that Mr. Beckwould consider that stated purpose of our nation, the vision of our founding fathers so much liberal claptrap.
By focusing on irrelevant male bovine excrement, false propaganda sources and creating a distraction from an impartial, unbiased presentation of all of the pertinent facts Glen Beck is violating the sacred trust granted him by the First Amendment. Mr. Beck is abrogating his responsibility to inform the public. Both of these repudiations of his sacred trust. It borders on treason. NO! It is Treason!
Just to set the record straight the UAH shooting is the result of too many guns, too readily available to too many unstable and criminal people.
For those who would point to the 2nd Amendment... I say the 2nd amendment is obsolete. It is no longer applicable.
@ Steve
"By the way, since we spend 10 times more money on our military than anyone else, a lot of countries don't have to."
We don't "have to", either. Most of that spending is wasteful pork going to the heads of the big corps with gov't contracts.
As for your comments about natural CO2, nature always had ways of balancing out that carbon so it didn't get out of hand. When humanity decided that slash and burn, let's develop and pave as much of the planet as possible, they not only began adding much more CO2 to the atmosphere but wiped out much of nature's balance mechanism. This is one reason we "greenies" are alarmed at the continuing destruction of old growth forest. The forests are major CO2 sinks. This is one reason why we favor organic farming--because it helps put CO2 back into the soil and keeps it out of the air. Organically raised cattle (fed on grass as nature intended, not grain and offal) emit much less methane into the air. Are you seeing the pattern?

Ad firms that serve political campaigns bolster online video offerings.
Ad firms that serve political campaigns and advocacy groups including CampaignGrid and Mixpo are bolstering their online video offerings. New cross-platform video capabilities come as political campaigns are starting to think about where their digital media dollars will go. On a more general media budget scale some campaigns are recognizing that, as supported by a new study, a significant percentage of voters no longer view live TV – where campaigns are accustomed to placing most of their persuasion ad money.
Voter and Consumer Data Informs Video Targeting
CampaignGrid, which employs several data sets including the Republican National Committee's voter data to target voters online, has partnered with video ad network TidalTV to enable multi-sourced targeting for in-stream and in-banner video advertising. CampaignGrid mainly serves GOP candidates and organizations, and works with around 100 "match partner" sites - online publishers or services like ISPs or financial services firms that collect user names, addresses, and phone numbers through opt-in registrations. The company won't disclose its matching partners, but CampaignGrid Founder Jeff Dittus said, "We only match sites that have opt in permissions."
The firm matches voter data from the RNC and other sources - along with consumer data showing income, purchase behavior, or other information - with the registration data gathered from its partners. It then strips out personally identifiable information to create segments of likely voters that can be targeted through online ads. Now, it can enable that sophisticated form of targeting for video ads through the TidalTV partnership.
Similar forms of voter data-matched ad targeting have been done by the large online portals - AOL, Yahoo, and MSN - all of which have lots of user registration data that has been matched for the RNC and Democratic National Committee in the hopes of reaching party supporters through online ads.
Interactivity for In-Stream Video
An early video ad entrant to the political market has been Mixpo, which until recently only offered in-banner video ads. The tech firm this week unveiled a new platform allowing for distribution of interactive video ads in in-stream and mobile environments including tablets and apps. While political advertisers often use both in-banner and in-stream video, many buy in-stream ads more often throughout the campaign cycle for persuasion purposes, and may only tack on in-banner ads late in the cycle when looking to reach undecided voters with a persuasion message.
Because Mixpo's enhanced platform allows for interaction in all forms of video ad units including in-stream, it could be especially interesting to campaigns looking to build their supporter lists, poll voters about issues, or make it easy for people to share video on Facebook or post about it to Twitter.
"All campaigns - political and others - are now including sharing or links to Twitter" in video ads, said Mixpo CEO Anupam Gupta. "They're even including real-time Twitter feeds to make the ads more dynamic."
The company also enables video selection within ads, so advertisers can run several TV spots in a single online unit to test and optimize, or sequence a set of messages.
Meanwhile, video ad network Tremor Video - which also aims to reach the political ad market - will soon allow any advertiser to use its self-serve measurement platform to measure video campaign metrics including brand lift across network buys, even when they aren't running ads through Tremor. The company recently raised a $37 million funding round, and, according to Anthony Risicato, GM for Tremor's video hub division, the company has discussed video ad sales with several political campaigns recently.
Dwindling Live TV Use Among Voters
Use of online video advertising is growing among corporate brands, and political campaigns are beginning to recognize the value of the medium when it comes to persuading voters through emotive sound and visuals, combining influential messages with immediate calls to action, and extending the reach of their television spots. However, as media consumption patterns shift, TV could lose its place as the sole forum for persuasive political ads. According to a bipartisan study released this week, 31 percent of all likely voters don't watch live TV; rather, they watch programs on DVR during which they may skip through commercial breaks, or they watch online or in mobile environments.
The same is true of likely voters in important battleground states and key demographic groups, said the study. The research was conducted by video ad firm Say Media and co-authored by Republican digital agency Targeted Victory and Democratic digital agency Chong and Koster, along with pollsters on both sides of the aisle. In Florida, 28 percent of likely voters surveyed said they don't watch live television. And in the state of Ohio - where President Barack Obama made a campaign stop this week to push his jobs plan - 38 percent of likely voters aren't consuming live TV.
A third of both Republicans and Democrats surveyed said they don't watch live television, as did 28 percent of Independents. The study relies on data gathered on 800 likely voters and an additional 300 in Ohio and Florida.
The study also showed that nearly 90 percent of those surveyed regularly skip ads when watching on their DVRs. It's no surprise video ad seller Say Media wants to convince political media buyers that fewer voters are seeing their TV ads.
"I would be lying if I didn't say the fact that there's an enormous amount of advertising budget that's going to be in play for 2012 wasn't interesting to us," said Matt Rosenberg, VP Solutions at Say Media. "Our business depends on understanding how culture is moving and there's nothing more culturally relevant than the upcoming political cycle."

|Some examples of repetition in Terence
|Robinson, Rodney Potter, 1890-
|University of Missouri
|The cumulation of synonyms, that is, the use within a sentence of words similar in meaning but different in form, and the securing of various sound effects by the collocation of words different in meaning but similar in form, is a characteristic of Roman Comedy which has received extensive treatment. A reader of the plays of Plautus and Terence cannot fail to be impressed also by the frequent repetition within a sentence, or in succeeding sentences, of an identical word. It is to the discussion of such repetition as found in the plays of Terence that I have devoted the greater part of my paper. I have in conclusion, also noted some examples of the collocation of words different in meaning but derived from a common stem, as well as of words which have no etymological connection but are chosen for the similarity of sound.

That is because flu mutates, so catching it one year may not stop you from catching it the next. This is why we make new flu vaccines year after year. It is also why every few decades a flu strain appears with the genetic novelty to evade our herd immunity and wreak global havoc.
How to stop that? By developing a universal vaccine effective against all strains. Various possibilities that trigger an immune response against the parts of the virus that don't mutate are in the works. Several have reached trials in people. If they prove effective, flu could soon become just one more half-forgotten disease that we vaccinate children against.

In 2012 his 212 rushing attempts were the most in the ACC and 1,081 rushing yards was good for second in the ACC.Strengths: One of Ellington's strengths is that he is good with his hands, catching balls well in the screen play and when quarterback Tajh Boyd needed to get rid of the ball quickly. Another of Ellington's strengths is his being extremely focused. Ellington stays aware of where he is on the field, waits for his blockers, and finds a hole and gets through it quickly. Lastly, Ellington is good at keeping his legs moving and fights for extra yards which makes tackling him difficult.Weaknesses: There will be an adjustment factor for Ellington when he plays in the NFL. No matter what team drafts Ellingto...

This is without a doubt the MOST RUSSIAN video you'll ever see, in terms of 'WTF' levels.
This is without a doubt the MOST RUSSIAN video you'll ever see, in terms of 'WTF' levels.
When do we stop calling them pot-holes and start calling them sink holes.
Stop me if you've heard this one before: Russian man goes to dump to find old scrap metal, bear sees man and charges him, man throws old computer at bear and wins the battle.
Here we see a typical Russian traffic accident.
Apparently parts of Russia have been experiencing heavy flooding this week, which means flooded highways.
Every day we thank our lucky stars and stripes that the people of Mother Russia all have dashboard cams in their cars, and today we see an incredible display of road rage.
Who knew that Russians were in to surfing, and furthermore, who knew that the people surfing in Russia were sexy chicks wearing high heels.
Is he a ninja.
Only in Russia could a video as insane as this take place.

THE earliest known case of Down's syndrome has been found.
While Down's syndrome is a well-known cause of intellectual disability, there are few cases in the archaeological record.
A child's skeleton from a 5th-century necropolis in France has all the signs, says Maïté Rivollat of the University of Bordeaux in France. The child had a short, broad skull and thin cranial bones (International Journal of Paleopathology, doi.org/tdz). The child was buried like everyone else, which, Rivollat says, hints there was no stigma around the condition.
John Starbuck of Indiana University in Indianapolis agrees with the Down's diagnosis, but says it is hard to extrapolate cultural values from remains.

The 2nd annual Dealmakers Conference will bring international EB-5 investment professionals, as well as those inexperienced with the EB-5 program, a great opportunity to learn more about foreign investment and network with field experts.

St. Louis Rams (0-0) at Detroit Lions (0-0) Buy tickets for this game For those if you who didn't follow me in the offseason, I did a lot of work in an effort to find the 5 most underrated and 5 most overrated teams going into the season. The idea is simple. Every year, 5 teams that didn't make the playoffs the year before make the playoffs, including one team with 5 or fewer wins the previous year and roughly 25% of teams who won 6 or fewer games the previous year. Likewise, one team goes from in the playoffs to 5 or fewer wins. One team goes from a 1st round bye to out of the playoffs and vice versa. In fact, on average, a team's record changes by 3 wins in either direction each season. I termed this change "points of parity." 1.8 teams change by 7+ points of parity, 4.4 teams have 6+ points of parity, 7 have 5+ points of parity, 11.3 have 4+ points of parity, 15.5 have 3+, etc. For more on this in a 7 part series, click here. What you see below are some Vegas odds from weeks 1-3 ...
