Industry News
Education technology behemoth Pearson has sold its electronic student record and transcript business, the National Transcript Center (NTC), to Hobsons, another company in the education space. NTC serves 137,000 institutions representing 14 million students. K-12 schools use NTC to exchange student records and provide student transcripts, colleges and universities use the service to receive transcripts of student applicants, and students and parents use it to order transcripts online. In each scenario, the process is handled digitally and without the exchange of paper forms.
Hobsons, which provides student lifecycle management services, is already in the document exchange business. The company's Naviance e-documents service delivers transcripts, just like NTC does, as well as other electronic forms, including applications, recommendations, and other secondary school information. According to Hobsons, it has 1,800 colleges and universities participating in that service.
The acquisition expands Hobson's paperless transcript exchange business and also strengthens its position in student data acquisition. According to a statement put out by the company, the e-transcript and record exchange between K-12 institutions and higher education represents "one of the most critical points of data collection in the student lifecycle."
"K-12 and higher education institutions demand better ways to evaluate student progression through the learning lifecycle," said CEO Craig Heldman. "NTC helps us expand our role in helping educators operate more efficiently and better serve students as they transition among academic institutions."
The company hinted that it expects to collaborate with other organizations in developing a new standard for operating transcript exchange networks. One obvious candidate for that collaboration is the National Student Clearinghouse, which acts as a low-cost service provider to colleges and universities in multiple areas, including academic verification. That organization has reach into 137,000 academic institutions, employers, licensing agencies, and scholarship organizations.
"This acquisition is a welcome addition to the movement to electronic delivery underway in K-20," said Rick Torres, National Student Clearinghouse president and CEO. "We look forward to working with Hobsons to provide a free, open, and standards-based network through which institutions around the globe will be able to securely exchange electronic student academic records."

Carlos Lopez doubled to the wall to score Ivory Thomas in the bottom of the 10th inning to give 12th-ranked Cal State Fullerton a 5-4 Big West Conference series baseball victory over Cal Poly San Luis Obispo on Sunday afternoon at Goodwin Field.
The Titans (26-13, 9-3) stayed in a tie for first place with Long Beach State. Cal Poly (22-16, 6-6) fell three games back of the Titans and Long Beach State in fourth place.
Michael Lorenzen (2-0), who was a strike away from save No. 13, wound up with the victory as Cal Poly scored twice off him to take a 4-3 lead in the top of the ninth.
The Titans scored a run in the ninth to tie. In the 10th, Nick Grim (2-2) surrendered his team's only walk of the weekend to leadoff hitter Thomas, and Lopez shot a ball to the left-field gap that Alex Michaels was unable to cut off.
Long Beach State 5, UC Irvine 4: It took another comeback, but three triples and two great catches from center fielder Brennan Metzger allowed the 49ers (18-19, 9-3) to mount a rally and defeat the Anteaters (20-16, 5-7) at Blair Field.
Metzger moved into a tie for fourth place in school history in career doubles by hitting three on Sunday. The senior now has 46 doubles over four seasons, and leads the 49ers with a .307 batting average.
Oregon State 7, No. 11 UCLA 6: The Bruins (26-10, 11-7 Pac-12) tied the game with two runs in the top of the seventh, but the Beavers (26-12, 8-7) broke through with three runs in the bottom half of the inning and held on in Corvallis, Ore.
The Bruins scored twice in the ninth, stranding two runners on base to end it.

Bankruptcy Law for States Could Carry Risk, Bring Opportunity
Bumsted, Brad, Tribune-Review/Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
HARRISBURG -- The notion that deficit-strapped states should be able to declare bankruptcy, as some members of Congress and a national taxpayers group believe, is "really stupid," says Miriam Fox, a Democratic staffer for the Pennsylvania House Appropriations Committee.
"It would ruin your credit rating," Fox said.
But proponents including Americans for Tax Reform say bankruptcy could be a way to wipe out state debt overnight, wrest concessions from public employee unions and deal with longtime obligations for pensions and health care.
States are not permitted to seek bankruptcy protection in federal courts. Corporations file for bankruptcy, as do some municipalities. Last year, 1.5 million Americans filed. Some members of Congress are considering a law to allow states to file for bankruptcy. House Judiciary Chairman Lamar Smith, R-Texas, plans to hold a hearing this month on the matter.
Such a change is needed "so governments can say to public employee unions, 'If you're not prepared to make a reasonable deal, a judge will make a reasonable deal,'" former House Speaker Newt Gingrich told the Tribune-Review.
Gingrich, a potential Republican presidential candidate, disputes the notion that bankruptcy would ruin a state's credit rating and prevent it from securing loans. He cites the recovery of Orange County, Calif., four years after it filed for bankruptcy in 1994.
The fact Congress is considering legislation "serves notice on states: 'Don't come to Washington for a bailout,' " Gingrich said.
Combined, states' deficits next fiscal year will reach a projected $125 billion, says Iris Lav of the Washington-based Center on Budget and Policy Priorities. And those states haven't banked enough money to cover pensions coming due. Estimates for the collective pension shortfall range from $500 billion to $3 trillion.
Pennsylvania's deficit is estimated at $4 billion for the budget year beginning July 1.
State lawmakers say no one in the General Assembly is talking about advocating for the right to file bankruptcy -- and it's not likely to happen.
However, Rep. Scott Perry, R-York County, said it shouldn't be ruled out.
"When you have a significant crisis, you have to look at all the options," Perry said.
A bankruptcy option for states "sounds like a good option, particularly if you can rein in the out-of-control costs from unionized employee pensions, health care and salaries," said Matthew Brouillette, president of the Commonwealth Foundation in Harrisburg.
"But it couldn't functionally work in the same way that it does for businesses or individuals," Brouillette said. …

Powers and Politics: T.J. Johnson and Director Joe Powers Discuss "My Children! My Africa!"
"I've got a whole zoo in here, a mad zoo of hungry animals…and the keeper is frightened!…Because one of those animals, the one called Hope, has broken loose and is looking for food. Don't be fooled by its gentle name. It is as dangerous as Hate and Despair would be if they ever managed to break out." — Mr. M
While Athol Fugard's now historic play , My Children! My Africa! was written and set in 1980s apartheid South Africa, the story resonates so far beyond this original setting that it has enjoyed New York revivals as recently as 2012. That this resonance was one of the main reasons Fugard's work was chosen to be represented in Intrepid's Staged Reading Series on Monday evening is no coincidence.
"When asked to be on the committee for the readings, I became immediately excited about the opportunity to explore some stories and playwrights I had for a long time wanted to share with San Diego audience," says Antonio "T.J." Johnson, longtime actor and director in town and now a member of this year's Intrepid Staged Reading Series Committee.
My Children! My Africa!, which will be read on Monday March 23 at the Encinitas Library, represents one of these stories and Athol Fugard one of these playwrights.
"I am a longtime Athol Fugard enthusiast," says T.J. of the Tony Award-winning playwright, noting that he understudied the role of the teacher, Mr. M, at La Jolla Playhouse early in his career, working with Des McAnuff and Brock Peters. T.J. will be reprising that role on Monday, working with longtime collaborator Joe Powers.
"The opportunity to re-enter his world with Joe Powers directing is probably the favorite of my entries into this year's reading series," says T.J. "It is a timely, intelligent and relevant piece that speaks to our current social problem."
My Children! My Africa! is set in 1984 apartheid South Africa and the story unfolds through three characters: Anela Myalata, or "Mr. M," a speech and debate teacher, Thami, his star student (played by Marshall Anderson) and Isabel, a visiting white student who has come to engage in some verbal academic sparring (played by Chase McCarthy). Set against a backdrop of violence and racism, the classroom alliance forged by the three as they discuss literature, politics and personal beliefs becomes increasingly fragile as the outside world bears down on their newfound trust. What transpires is the stuff of Greek tragedy.
"On the surface, My Children! My Africa! is about a particular time, place and circumstance," says director Joe Powers. "The bigger picture, of course, is its universality and timelessness . . . our ongoing battle as human beings against the 'curse' of racism is never ending and has not slowed one bit from the time this play was written to the present. That is what makes this play powerful in 2015 or anywhere in the world where daily we see examples of it over and over again."
Written in 1989, the play has enjoyed numerous performances all over the world, as theater companies continually find Fugard's words relevant and immediately accessible. Also intriguing are the parallels drawn between Mr. M and the more well known South African anti-apartheid revolutionary, Nelson Mandela (also a Mr. M), who passed away in 2013. The campaign for change that defined Mandela's life is present in Fugard's words, as is the battle between integrity and survival, and fighting for one's convictions over accepting the status quo.
"The play deals with the ethical question of 'right and wrong' and what do we do when we know in our hearts of hearts what is right, but don't always act accordingly," says Joe. "Do we have the individual strength and power to hold to our belief, our convictions, even when consensus and the opinions of our peers say otherwise?"
These are not always easy questions to answer and the reflection of these convictions in the text is what makes Athol Fugard's writing so appealing to audiences and so timelessly compelling. In every review of the play, the text is consistently the star of the show. In a 1991 review, Silvie Drake wrote in the Los Angeles Times, "His play dazzles with its words. Rarely has a play been so verbal and also so profoundly stirring." For Joe, this is the crux of the play.
"The play is about the power of words to make a difference," says Joe. "Words used with forethought and precise planning are truly the ultimate tool and weapon. These words backed up with actions and commitment can be invincible."
And watching these words unfold on Monday evening through the talents of this stunning cast will be an event not to be missed.
"The audience can expect to be moved almost to tears by Fugard's riveting story," says Joe. "They can expect to be on the edge of their seat, anticipating each upcoming scene, hoping, white-knuckled, all will end well for the characters. They can look forward to walking away having felt something deep within their souls."
My Children! My Africa! by Athol Fugard. Encinitas Library, 540 Cornish Drive. Monday, March 23: 6:30 pm complimentary wine/appetizer reception. 7:00 pm reading. $15. Rsvp to email@example.com and pay with cash/check at the door or purchase tickets online.
Music and Mahoney: A Conversation with Dr. Terry O'Donnell and Benjamin Roy
"The best spellers don't necessarily win…"
The show-stopping Act One number in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is aptly named "Pandemonium," as it viscerally sets the tone for this Tony Award-winning musical where we learn that life can be chaotic and nonsensical and that part of growing up is dealing with disappointments. While these things are not news to the contestants in Intrepid's Season Five finale, which runs through March 15 at the Performing Arts Center in San Marcos, these spellers have something that the rest of us do not: a comfort counselor.
"I would say the sole purpose of a comfort counselor is to console those who have lost," says Benjamin Roy, who plays Mitchell M. Mahoney, the Official Comfort Counselor whose job it is to serenade each wanna-"bee" winner after they misspell, dismissing them from competition. Comforting these adolescent spellers is no simple task. Each responds with different degrees of outrage, denial, confusion and joy.
"There are extremely different personalities meshed together in this one setting of competition," says Ben, and it soon becomes pretty apparent in the show that a juice box alone won't solve everyone's problems. Mitchell M. Mahoney, a former convict doing community service as part of his parole, may or may not be the best candidate for the position.
"Mitch has an interesting job because, I feel, he doesn't know the meaning of the word comfort," says Ben. While Mitch's commentary may seem truthfully abrasive (at one point he suggests beating up the contestants to teach them that there's more to life than spelling), his outside observations balances the academic intensity that defines the rest of the characters.
This intensity is supported throughout the show by the hip and edgy score of Spelling Bee. As the stories unfold and we begin to understand each speller's individual struggles, triumphs, insecurities and deepest dreams, we also appreciate the musical lines unique to their characters. Musical Director Dr. Terry O'Donnell says this is what fascinates him about this type of pop-inspired, contemporary musical theater.
"There's a variety of tunes, so with each character there's a different kind of energy," says Terry. "It's really very energized and every character is quite active throughout the production."
Longtime collaborator with Spelling Bee Director Kathy Brombacher, Terry says that their mutual appreciation of the musical score and what it can add to a production is the key to a successful show.
"It's always been a great collaboration with her and it is the same with this show," says Terry. "She always bring such excitement to her projects."
Of course, it doesn't hurt that the cast is extraordinarily talented, learning their music and honing their understanding of how the score amplifies their individual stories within the first days of rehearsal.
"It's been a quick study with everyone," says Terry. "From the beginning, we were ahead of ourselves. Everyone is so competent musically and theatrically. It's a pleasure to work with people like that."
"The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" plays through March 15 at the San Marcos Performing Arts Center, 1615 West San Marcos Blvd. Click here for ticket information and audience advisory. "Spelling Bee" runs Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm, Saturdays at 4 pm and Sundays at 2 pm.
Silence is "Olden": Annie Hinton Talks Pinter, Pauses and the Power of "Old Times"
"The past is what you remember, imagine you remember, convince yourself you remember, or pretend you remember." – Harold Pinter
While Nobel laureate playwright Harold Pinter has always been quick to step away from exposing the deeper meanings of his own plays, his consistently compelling stories has never suffered from lack of interpretation. For director Annie Hinton, this innate – and often disgruntled – need to understand and find meaning in Pinter's work is part of the appeal.
"One of the major tenets of Absurdism is that we cannot communicate," explains Annie, who will be directing Harold Pinter's Old Times on Monday evening, February 23, in the next installment of Intrepid's yearlong Staged Reading Series at the Encinitas Library. "This follows with Pinter's use of silences – in life, we can't really say everything we need to say."
Bringing this three-character story steeped in mystery to life will be a cast of resident Brits: Ron Choularton, Rosina Reynolds and Jillian Frost. According to Annie, capitalizing on the British sensibility already present in the cast is helpful in interpreting Pinter's style.
"So many of the memories in the play are connected to things that the British know. I'm lucky to have all the Brits in San Diego involved," Annie jokes.
The seemingly straightforward story revolves around a couple – Deeley and Kate – who receive a visit from a surprise guest, Anna, a woman who claims to have been close friends with Kate over 20 years ago. While the exact nature of the past is in question, it soon becomes clear that there is a competitive edge to the conversation with regards to memory.
"There is minimal dialogue for you to suss out what is going on," explains Annie. "The scene becomes an interesting triangle of folks using the memories of the past to one up each other. It becomes a battle."
But what is really going on? Theories are endless. Are Kate and Anna different facets of the same person? Are they past and present versions of each other? Are they all really in some sort of hellish afterlife from which there is no escape?
In true Pinter fashion, the answers do not lie in the words, but rather in the subtext – the underlying current beneath the dialogue and woven into the silences. Watch the characters watch each other and you will understand more than the words will ever communicate.
"The pauses and silences are like music," says Annie, explaining that the air of mystery about the events of the story actually keeps the audience connected to the action. She likens the situation to seeing two people arguing in the street. You don't have to know what they are fighting about to be interested.
"The audience gets to be a part of what is going on," says Annie. "They are actively involved."

The "Bee"auties of "Spelling Bee"
Wondering where can you find an insatiable bibliophile, an over-scheduled over-achiever and a pubescent political pundit battling it out for glory? Look no further than the female bench of "The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee."
Sarah Errington , Rae K. Henderson and Amy Perkins break from rehearsals to chat about their characters, the cast, and this quirky Spelling Bee-themed musical which opens February 15 at the San Marcos Performing Arts Center.
"This is one of the most smartly written musicals I've ever seen," says Amy, who will be playing Logainne SchwartzandGrubenniere, the youngest contestant at the Bee, who is also contending with two overprotective fathers, as evidenced in her song "Woe Is Me," an anthem to the intensity of parental pressure.
"The characters in this show are so specific and outrageous and larger than life," says Sarah, admitting that her character, Olive Ostrovsky, is a bit on the quieter side as the Spelling Bee newcomer whose heart wrenching "The I Love You Song" offers a dramatic depth to the pool of catchy and quirky melodies offered in this musical.
"Olive thinks and feels on the inside while most of the spellers wear their heart on their sleeve," says Sarah. "It's fun to play with that dynamic."
Creating these characters is not a simple process, however, and there is consensus that the supportive environment created by the cast and director Kathy Brombacher helps with the exploration.
"You don't feel like you have to hold back," says Amy. "We're in a safe space."
While each actress is excited about putting her own unique stamp on these characters, what this cast is most excited about has nothing to do with learning lines and everything to do with the unknown element of audience participation.
Each night, audience members will be selected to participate as contestants in the Bee, which means they will have front row seats to the action, including their own spelling words. This nightly variable can be daunting for actors to deal with, as it guarantees there will be moments where almost anything can happen.
"I love this interactive and 'different every night' quality of the show, as well as how clever and and hilarious it is," says Rae K. Henderson, who will portraying the multi-talented "I Speak Six Languages" Marcy Park. Marcy is known for her exceptional display of her skills during the show and Rae says that she may or may not be in the process of perfecting a baton twirl.
The actresses all agree that aside from the audience participation, the laughter is what holds the show together – both on and off of the stage.
"It's a silly show and it's supposed to be fun," says Sarah. "We're playing kids. To have that freedom to play these kids who aren't judging themselves and who are just being…it's fun. It's really fun."
"The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" opens February 15 at the San Marcos Performing Arts Center, 1615 West San Marcos Blvd. Click here for ticket information and audience advisory. "Spelling Bee" runs Fridays and Saturdays at 8 pm, Saturdays at 4 pm and Sundays at 2 pm through March 15.
From the Trenches: James Winker Resurrects the Great War Poet Wilfred Owen
What candles may be held
to speed them all?
Not in the hands of boys,
but in their eyes
Shall shine the holy
glimmers of good-byes.
— Wilfred Owen,
"Anthem for a Doomed Youth" (excerpt)
The Great War was a time in the world's history unlike any other. For the next few years, as we acknowledge the centenary of these unparalleled battles, we feel the the global resonance of wartime, as well as how it can affect our lives in an extraordinarily personal way. Enter the poetry of Wilfred Owen.
Old Globe Associate Artist James Winker, in a special engagement for Intrepid on Monday evening January 19 at the Encinitas Library, offers a solo performance that illuminates the letters and poetry of the famous British World War One writer. James, who developed this piece for the Mark Taper Forum's Literary Cabaret program while pursuing his acting career in Los Angeles, says that the writing of this English soldier is nothing short of astounding.
"For someone that young to have this gift of expression and this kind of passion and intelligence, it's just extraordinary," he says.
Wilfred Owen, deemed one of the 16 Great War poets at Westminster Cathedral in 1985, is now synonymous with the honest, raw and often shocking depictions of wartime that he wrote from the trenches of his service on the Western Front. While much of his writing is represented in letters home to his mother, it is his poetry that has captured the hearts of both wartime historians and the general public. James was eager to draw from both sources to bring this historical figure to life.
"The fact that he could write these letters home to his mother is incredible," says James. "Sometimes they get so bitter and horrific. I don't know if I would have shared them with my family."
While Wilfred Owen had always considered himself a poet, it wasn't until he met friend and mentor Siegfried Sassoon in 1917 while undergoing wartime treatment in Edinburgh for shell-shock that his writing really blossomed and developed to the point where it would have lasting significance. According to The Wilfred Owen Association, "Virtually all the poems for which he is now remembered were written in a creative burst between August 1917 and September 1918."
"That was a turning point for him," explains James. "Before meeting Siegfried, he never had any acknowledgement or encouragement for his poetry."
After a year away from the war for medical leave, Wilfred Owen returned to the Western Front. It was there that he was killed in November of 1918 at the age of 25.
While only four of his poems were published in his lifetime, after his death it was discovered that he left a legacy of over 60 verses that speak to the chaos and the travesties of wartime, leaving significant impressions on post-war posterity.
"His writing is still resonant today," says James. "It has to be. They had never seen a war like this – ever in people's memory."
After debuting the piece in Los Angeles to rave reviews, James was soon invited to perform at several local campuses including UCLA (at the Dickson Art Center), Cal Arts, Cal State Long Beach, Pomona College and the University of Wisconsin/Milwaukee. The piece was also produced at the American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco as a part of the Plays in Progress series. He is looking forward to giving Wilfred Owen another life on Monday evening.
"It's important that his poems are read aloud," says James. "They are meant to be read aloud."
Anthem for a Doomed Youth: The Poems and Letters of Wilfred Owen, compiled and performed by James R. Winker. Original production directed by Elizabeth Huddle. Dramaturgy and editing by Diana Maddox.

Diversity, Dialogue and Doozies: Introducing the 2015 Staged Reading Series
According to fashion editor icon Diana Vreeland, "There's only one thing in life, and that's the continual renewal of inspiration."
Late last year, with thoughts of inspiration in mind, Intrepid invited four theatrically-inspiring local artists to be members of the 2015 Staged Reading Series Committee. As with the committees who came before them, their task was to choose the lineup for the new year's monthly series at the Encinitas Library, which kicks off on January 19.
"The Staged Reading Series is a chance for Intrepid to explore new voices, while at the same time circling back to classic plays and groundbreaking writing that should be revisited," says Intrepid Producing Artistic Director Christy Yael-Cox. "This year's committee members have chosen a season that will both inspire and challenge our audiences and we are very excited about that."
Last fall, Intrepid invited four dynamic forces from San Diego's theatre world to be a part of the committee, some of whom have graced the Intrepid stage: Annie Hinton, Antonio "T.J." Johnson, Phil Johnson and Brian Rickel. At the first meeting, each member was asked to suggest plays they felt would be important selections for the yearlong series. From there, they began the arduous process of hashing out the season. The result is a list that is both eclectic and dynamic, as well as incredibly diverse.
"The process that Intrepid uses is unique with the involvement of different theatre artists from diverse viewpoints," says T.J., whose selections include the playwrights Athol Fugard, John Patrick Shanley and Lynn Nottage. "I am excited about having the opportunity and support to be on the producing team of three exciting adventures in storytelling from the stage."
"Since the committee is from such diverse worlds, we tried to be mindful of the range of the work in our programming of the season," says Annie, who is most looking forward to a new play by A. Rey Pamatmat that she contributed to the docket. "Hopefully it will appeal to a variety of people and challenge audience members by bringing up issues new and old to make them think."
"This variety and diversity is a huge component of the existence of the reading series," says Christy, emphasizing that Intrepid's current evolution goals include highlighting underrepresented voices.
Another goal includes cultivating the art of storytelling and solo performance. Phil's lineup includes the one-woman show "Full Gallop" about the life of Diana Vreeland, which will feature Shana Wride, a current Craig Noel nominee for her work in Intrepid's recent summer production of "Much Ado About Nothing."
"This is one of the best one person shows I have ever seen," says Phil, "and certainly the most entertaining. It's a wonderful trip with an amazing mind of one of the most talented and stylish people of the mid century."
To date, Intrepid's Staged Reading Series has employed over 350 actors and directors and welcomed over 2500 audience members. Not only is it now a mainstay in the Encinitas community, the number of series subscriptions increase each year as patrons welcome the opportunity to engage in ongoing dialogue with their local artists.
Each evening begins with a sumptuous wine and appetizer reception that is included with admission, giving patrons a chance to mix and mingle before the reading begins. When the reading concludes, actors and directors also have the opportunity to visit with audience members, engaging in conversations prompted by the plays. These interactions keep subscribers returning to the reading series play after play, year after year.
To Brian, this audience engagement is a crucial part of the reading series.
"Practitioners and audiences love to be a part of the process of creation and this series allows for that," says Brian, whose reading series choices include the LAByrinth Theatre-originated "Our Lady of 121st Street" by Stephen Adly Guirgis, which was originally directed to an Off-Broadway run in 2003 by the late Philip Seymour Hoffman.
"I hope audiences get a sense, from this season, of where Intrepid is headed and how hard they work to affect their community," he continues. "It's gonna be a doozy!"

Finding Home: Brian Rickel Talks "Judevine"
"It was just one of those plays that stayed in my soul."
Brian Rickel first discovered David Budbill's Judevine, will be presented as a solo performance on Monday evening as part of Intrepid's Staged Reading Series, while acting with the Summer Repertory Theatre in Santa Rosa, CA in 1995.
"It was just one of those things: that particular play with that particular cast," remembers Brian, who was most recently seen on the Intrepid stage as Frank Lubey in All My Sons and Malcolm in Macbeth. "Everyone fell in love with it. It was this beautiful stirring story – we were all young and in our early 20s and all of a sudden we were deeply and madly in love with each other through that play."
The story itself is infused with heart and love. Set in a small rural town, the original play contains 24 characters who are facing life and all that it brings forth – financial hardship, love, loss, family relationships and secrets of the past. David Budbill, the original playwright, based his play – which is formatted in a series of monologues – upon a collection of poetry and short stories he had written earlier in his career, which also incarnated into a novel. There is obviously a deep connection to this town and these characters that is expressed through Budbill's writing.
Fast forward 13 years after his summer rep gig and Brian found himself in grad school at CSU Fullerton seeking a thesis project.
"I had always thought about doing something else with Judevine," says Brian. "It was just one of those plays that stuck with me. I got this wild idea in my brain to adapt it as a solo piece."
At that point, Brian reached out to the playwright to ask for permission to bring his wild idea to life and write an adaptation of Judevine – one where a single actor would perform all of the characters in the piece.
Luckily, the playwright recognized Brian's deep connection to the work.
"David said 'go for it,'" recalls Brian. "But he specifically said, 'Don't forget the women.'"
With the playwright's blessing, Brian retreated to his father's cabin in a remote town called Happy Camp in Northern California, and began to shape what would become a solo performance piece that he would carry with him for many years beyond graduate school. He recalls that time in his life as one of healing.
"I sat on a river for most of the summer and just started trimming the script and creating characters," he says. "I think of that place as my own Judevine."
When he finished the script, he teamed up with one of his grad school colleagues, Kari Hayter, who directed the piece and helped Brian refine his vision and create a concept.
Brian had whittled the story down to 14 characters and was now charged with the task of bringing them each to life in uniquely physical and emotional ways, each one recognizably different from the next. While the detailed creation of each role is filled with enormous specificity, Brian admits that much of his character work is based upon his own origin story with the play and the nostalgia of the Santa Rosa Summer Rep experience that has never truly left him.
"The director of the original production, Jonathan Kretzu, really had us examine what makes us tick as human beings and makes us fallible as human beings," says Brian. "His take was that everyone is inherently good in our hearts and souls and it's the events in our lives that make it tragic. This production is in many ways a tribute to that cast."
While Brian's most recent solo performance of Judevine was produced at the San Diego International Fringe Festival in July, it is fitting that it has also found a place in the Intrepid Staged Reading Series.
"Intrepid is one of my theatrical homes in San Diego," says Brian. "We have a great working relationship around things we are passionate about." And when it comes to Judevine, the passion is more than palpable.
Judevine: A Solo Performance, adapted and performed by Brian Rickel, story by David Budbill. Encinitas Library, 540 Cornish Drive.

Trick or 'Titus': A Halloween Treat
When Titus Andronicus was recently performed at the Globe in London – a revival production of Lucy Bailey's 2006 interpretation – there was one evening when five audience members fainted in the middle of the performance. Yes, fainted. Five people passed out and dropped to the floor.
The most likely culprit was the appearance of Lavinia, a young and innocent girl who is met with an unthinkably brutal fate during the course of the play. Needless to say, as per the reputation of Shakespeare's goriest tale, there were a few buckets of stage blood decorating her costume at the time.
That Intrepid Shakespeare Company's 2014 Staged Reading Series Committee chose Titus Andronicus to celebrate the Halloween season is no coincidence.
"Titus is one of Shakespeare's earliest plays, his first tragedy, and apparently one of the most popular with his own audience," says Sean Yael-Cox, Co-Artistic Director of Intrepid and the director of the reading, which will be held Monday evening at the Encinitas Library. "The Elizabethan audiences seemed to love the violence – the more missing limbs and ripped out hearts the better."
On this front, Titus Andronicus certainly does not disappoint.
The story follows the aftermath of Rome's ten-year campaign against the Goths, where Titus is a victorious leader. In his absence from Rome, he has been elected Emperor and returns amid glorious fanfare to take his post. But the conflict apparently does not end in the field. Titus decides to avenge the battlefield deaths of his sons by executing the son of Tamora, Queen of the Goths, thus igniting a fury of revenge that pushes the boundaries of even the most steely-stomached of audiences.
"This is not a play for the faint-hearted," writes theatre critic Charles Spencer for London's The Telegraph. "For centuries this early tragedy was never performed at all, so graphic is its violence, so gleeful its cruelty."
Cast as the cutthroat couple in Monday's reading are Savvy Scopelleti as Tamora and Ruff Yeager as Titus Andronicus. Erin Peterson, Tom Hall, Brian Rickel, Danny Campbell and Jason Rennie will serve as pawns in the blood feud where no one is safe and nothing is predictable.
"Titus features an incredible collection of characters," says Sean. "The play is filled with killer roles and we are fortunate that we are able to gather some of our favorite actors to bring these characters to life."
While the staged reading format means that no blood will be shed on Monday, the text of Shakespeare's play still guarantees the most graphic of gore-filled depictions. And, as we all know, sometimes the imagination can be more powerful than the best concoction of Carrow's syrup stage blood.
"Titus, along with other revenge plays, allows the audience to safely explore that vengeful impulse without suffering the consequences," explains Sean. "Revenge is a powerful and intense emotion, but it is also very human. Thankfully, the heart can also contain great compassion and empathy and we don't live in a world like the one inhabited by Titus and his family."
"After all," he continues, "an attitude of 'an eye for an eye' does indeed leave the world blind. And, in the case of Titus, it also leaves the world decapitated, missing a number of hands, de-tongued and baked into a pie."

A Revolutionary Affair
Look up the word "revolution" in the dictionary and you will find strategies for inspiring change on a dramatic level. Historically and metaphorically, revolutions are fought for a cause and won because of the efforts of the many, not just the one.
That Intrepid Shakespeare Company chose "Revolution" as the central theme for the 2014 Annual Gala bash on December 7 is no coincidence.
"Intrepid is moving towards creating a space for theatre to be an instrument of transformation," says Producing Artistic Director Christy Yael-Cox. "We have always believed that theatre can change lives. We are refining our mission statement and our goals as we look into the future to reflect that. This also involves tapping into the passions of our company members and creating a space for them to inspire change as well."
In accordance with the theme of "Revolution," the Gala Committee has selected the perfect venue for the evening's festivities.
The Green Dragon Tavern and Museum in Carlsbad is a setting steeped in revolutionary history, which emulates its namesake in Boston, Massachusetts. The original East Coast building was the site where Sam Adams, Paul Revere and other founders met in secret and planned the Boston Tea Party and the American Revolution. Deemed the "Headquarters of the Revolution," the original tavern was demolished in 1854. The Carlsbad replica hosts a beautiful dining room and pub, a museum dedicated to the America's early patriots as well as ballrooms fit for revolutionary celebrations.
Kathy Brombacher, Board of Trustees and Gala Committee Member, feels that the evening will be a perfect unification of Intrepid's accomplishments to date as well as the goals for the future.
"Intrepid is really shaking things up," says Kathy. "Five years is a milestone and they are making change happen as a very positive, explosive, exciting part of their ongoing history. This Gala will be a reflection of that."
The evening's festivities will be hosted by none other than theatrical bright light Phil Johnson, who is best known in the Intrepid camp for his dynamic portrayal of Bottom in Season Four's A Midsummer Night's Dream, the musical, a role which earned him a Craig Noel Award for Best Featured Performance in a Musical.
"The Gala is going to be an exciting look at what's ahead," says Phil, also a Gala Committee Member. "It's going to be a look into the future at the big changes of an exciting theater company making its new mark."
These big, exciting changes will be the Gala's main event, as Intrepid reveals plans for a new home as well as the productions slated for the company's sixth season of theatre-making.
Along with Phil and Kathy, Gala Committee Members Julie Ustin, Lynne Thrope and Tom Andrew are working diligently to create an affair suitable for ushering in a new revolutionary era for Intrepid Shakespeare Company.
The Gala will begin at 7 pm with champagne and delicious passed hors d'ouevres. Both the live and silent auctions boast extravagant prizes. In addition to the talents of Phil Johnson, some of the city's best musical theatre artists will entertain as guests partake in their own future forecasting with fortunetellers and tarot card readers. Requested attire is simply "fabulous." Intrepid is grateful for the support of the evening's lead sponsors, Marti and Adam Rosenberg and Sandra Zarcades.
"Everyone expects Intrepid to serve them a dish that is going to be very exciting," says Kathy. "They will not be disappointed."
Intrepid Shakespeare Company's 2014 Annual Gala will be held Sunday December 7, 6-9 pm at The Green Dragon Tavern and Museum, located at 6115 Paseo del Norte in Carlsbad.
Tickets are $125 each and are available online.

The last time the Dow Jones Industrial Average braved a record high—when it reached 14,165 on Oct. 9, 2007—it went on to lose more than half its value over the next 15 months. So investors can be forgiven for feeling apprehensive with the Dow once again closing in on a new peak.
Profit takers flag possible speed bumps like $3.80 gasoline, recent volatility, rising Treasury yields, and potentially pesky headlines from Washington to Rome. Which of these should we worry about?
With Americans already coping with higher payroll taxes, pricier gas can hurt spending. Yet recent corrections caused by gas shocks—measured from the first day gas tops $3.75 a gallon to the market low over the next six months—have shrunk from 39.5% in 2008 to 17.2% in 2011 to just 4% last summer, notes Bespoke Investment Group. Are we getting used to expensive gas?
Last week's short selloff following an uncertain Italian election reminded us that Europe still can rattle U.S. markets, but these days it might take more to set off a bigger correction. "We now have a lender of last resort" in the European Central Bank, and Greek government debt has been restructured, notes Credit Suisse's global strategist Andrew Garthwaite. "In the past, Euro-area crisis has tended to intensify in periods when global growth momentum has slowed, and that is not the case currently."
Sharp market swings unnerve investors, and the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index jumped from 14 to 19 within hours last Monday. But the spike subsided just as quickly when underinvested money managers stepped in to buy the dip. And while the yield on 10-year Treasuries has ticked up from 1.5% last summer to nearly 2%, as economic cues improved, a troubling spike to 4% or 5% seemed unlikely with the Federal Reserve still buying buckets of bonds.
Spending cuts totaling $85 billion in 2013 could shave 1.5 percentage points off economic growth next quarter, "but the sequestration doesn't have to ding the market, let alone tank it," says Hans Olsen, head of investment strategy for the Americas at Barclays Wealth & Investment Management. Real government spending isn't as closely correlated with corporate earnings as most investors feared, and Olsen calls the sequestration "a sideshow."
The bigger fight looms over the temporary budget expiration on March 27 and debt-ceiling discussions that had been postponed to May. Failure to resolve the debt ceiling—if Washington hasn't learned its lesson from the 2011 fiasco—could trigger downgrades of the U.S. credit rating. In the short term, the threats remains what traders call "headline risk" and potential policy missteps from a divisive budget debate. That leaves a stock market that has run up 20% since June prone to some profit-taking.

Dacia Duster
A reliable 4x4 that's great value for money
£9,495 - £15,495 Price range
5 Seats
The Dacia Duster is a cheap SUV that gives off-road capability for supermini money. It's the cheapest SUV on the market, undercutting competitors such as the Hyundai ix35, Nissan Juke and Suzuki SX4 S-Cross.
The choice of engines is limited, however: you can only choose from a 1.6-litre petrol or 1.5-litre diesel. It's never going to be sporty to drive, and the petrol doesn't feel powerful enough, but the diesel pulls well and would be ideal for towing a boat or caravan, especially when mated to the Duster's optional four-wheel drive system.
Space inside is good with enough room (thanks to the tall roof) to seat four adults comfortably, and enough boot space to fit two suitcases or a Labrador. This is a budget model though, so you also get cheap-looking (but robust) plastics on the inside.
Equipment wise, the Duster is fairly basic – you even have to pay extra for a stereo for the entry-level model. Mid-range Ambiance trim is worth paying a little extra for – it gets a sound system, a Bluetooth phone connection, rear seats that split 60:40 and front fog lights.
Specific information can be found in our Dacia Duster dimensions and colours guides.
Cheapest to buy: 1.6 Access petrol
Cheapest to run: 1.5 Laureate diesel
Fastest model: 1.6 Ambiance petrol
Most popular model: 1.5 Laureate diesel
Although the Duster's cabin is ok, its hard plastics reflect that this is a cheap car.
Dacia Duster interior space
It does all seem built to last, though, and although there's not much adjustment in the driver's seat (especially on the most basic Dusters), people can still get fairly comfy, thanks to the decent seats and impressive amount of head and legroom on offer.
Dacia Duster boot space
Speaking of space, the Duster is also quite a practical proposition, despite the lack of clever storage spaces in the cabin. Take a look at the Duster dimensions and colour guides to see if it'll fit in with your lifestyle.
For two-wheel-drive models, the boot is a very cavernous 475 litres (this shrinks to a still rather impressive 400 for the four-wheel-drive variants), and is made even larger (to more than 1,600 litres) when the rear seats are folded down. However, it's worth pointing out that the load bay isn't completely flat once the seat backs have been stowed away.
In some areas, the Duster's dynamics do betray its 'cheap and cheerful' roots. For instance, there's a bit of body roll in corners, yet the ride isn't particularly good on rougher surfaces, with a few testers stating that a noticeable 'thump' can be heard when the suspension deals with rougher road surfaces.
Other faults that were mentioned include a lack of refinement at higher speeds, and slightly 'rubbery' steering feel.
Nevertheless, the critics all agree that it's a decent car to drive in most situations, and in some areas is fairly impressive for something that was obviously built on a budget. At more moderate speeds on smoother surfaces, the ride is fine, and most of the controls are easy and much more pleasant to use than the steering.
Dacia is also keen to point out that the Duster is quite adept as an off-roader, especially in 4WD guise. It's no Land Rover Defender, but considering it's a cheap family vehicle, the critics who have taken it off the tarmac agree the Duster is accomplished off-road.
There are two engines to choose from in the Duster: the 1.6 petrol that's only available in the most basic Access specification, and the 1.5 diesel that comes with the other two trim levels.
Dacia Duster petrol engine
The 1.6 petrol is, by some margin, the cheapest of the two to buy, but it also has the highest running costs. Fuel economy of 39.8mpg isn't that great, when you consider a petrol Volkswagen Polo can return more than 60mpg, but it's not terrible for a small SUV.
Road tax is pretty pricy though – specify the petrol model with four-wheel drive and the 185g/km CO2 emissions it produces means you'll be looking at an annual road-tax bill of £225.
Dacia Duster diesel engine
As a result, the diesel model is the one we would recommend. It not only feels quicker than the petrol during everyday driving, it can also return more than 50mpg, even when fitted with four-wheel drive. It'll also never costs more than £130 to tax a year.
Though it's by no means the smoothest of engines in the world – one tester stated it was a bit rattly at times – it's still a dependable one (as you'd expect, from something that also resides under the bonnets of various Renaults) that shouldn't be too expensive to run. After all, Dacia is claiming up to 56mpg is possible on the combined cycle, and road tax is £100 per year.
However, it's worth pointing out these figures are for the 2WD version – plump for 4WD, and the increased emissions means the tax bill is now £120, whilst the fuel economy figure drops slightly to 53mpg.
If you want your Duster to have a more 'zingy' engine, then perhaps the 1.6 petrol is worth considering, but for all other people who are interested in the UK's latest Dacia, it's best served with diesel power. Sure, it's a bit more expensive to buy than the petrol, but if these reviews are anything to go by, it seems it'll be the better ownership proposition by quite some margin.
Though the motor itself isn't a terrible one – it has, after all, been used in many different Renaults over the years – the critic reckons it hasn't got much on the "more flexible and efficient" 1.5 dCi option. Not only do you have to work it quite hard should you need to get up to speed in a hurry, but the fuel consumption figures are quite poor in comparison with the diesel's.
That said, it's not an awful engine: there weren't any complaints regarding foibles such as intrusive engine noise, and unless you rack up quite a few miles each year, the petrol may be cheaper to run during your ownership stint than the diesel.
However, we'd recommend you consider spending a bit more money on the 1.5 dCi models, especially the ones with more equipment and goodies as standard. Yes, they're more expensive to buy in the first place, but we're sure the bonus of having aircon, electric windows and a stereo as standard far outweigh the savings you'd make by picking the most basic Duster over the rest in the range.
Although when last tested by Euro NCAP the Duster gained only a three-star rating, this reflects the weakest part of the car's performance in the testing, which in the Dacia's case was the 'safety assist' category. In every other ways the Duster is pretty good and the addition of stability control (which is now standard) would have earned it a four-star rating.
The Duster is a real bargain compared to other SUVs with similar talents. It may be the size of a Skoda Yeti, but it undercuts it considerably on price.
If you plump for the more expensive models, you get equipment such as ABS, air-conditioning and central locking all coming as standard on the top spec (but still affordable) models. And, as mentioned earlier, running costs shouldn't be too bad, especially if you opt for the diesel.
However, the most basic Dusters don't come with much equipment as standard – you don't even get a stereo – and some gadgets that could be seen as 'essential' for a family vehicle, such as stability control and curtain airbags, are either an optional extra or aren't available at all!
For more information, take a look at our Dacia Duster options guide to see what optional extras we think are worth paying for, and which to avoid.
Unless you really need to have a new car of this size that comes with better build quality and more kit as standard, we reckon the Duster is worth a close look. It's not perfect, but if you're looking for space and practicality on a budget, the new Dacia could be the car for you. Visit the Dacia Duster model page, to buy it via carwow.

God warned Solomon, now he had newly built and dedicated the temple, that he and his people might not be high-minded, but fear. After all the services we can perform, we stand upon the same terms with the Lord as before. Nothing can purchase for us liberty to sin, nor would the true believer desire such a licence. He would rather be chastened of the Lord, than be allowed to go on with ease and prosperity in sin. (1Ki 9:10-14)

I know there are a lot of foreign art/animation fans here on DA, fans of works and artists from Europe and Japan. Dai Sato, the legendary writer for classic, foreign TV shows such as COWBOY BEBOP, GHOST IN THE SHELL and WOLF'S RAIN explains the process of creating an animated series in japan. Take notes for you students/fans out there and enjoy!

This info is really good to know cause i need to make my idea, instead of just Manga I need it to become a Anime
I feel the sudden urge to pursue animation work in Japan now given my Japanese background... Any advice/knowledge on getting into that industry as a foreigner, LeSean?
This is meant for mangaka in Japan, however some of the advice is universal for all work in Japan: [link]
Getting a work visa, and finding a place to live is supposedly pretty hard, much less finding a job. In other words you'd better already be pretty darn good at your job before thinking about moving.

thank you really thank you
awesome stuff
thank you sir
Thanks for sharing! Really appreciate it!
Thanks for sharing this!! don't hesitate to put more up!!!
I found it interesting when he was talking about the American students, and how they have an unapologetic view towards anime. I think a lot of Americans don't get that anime isn't exactly socially popular among most people of Japan. In fact, the word "otaku" is considered derogatory in Japan, where as here many view it as something to be very proud of. Some let it get to a point where they think they love Japan, where in actuality they love a small percentage of it's culture.
I love what he says about having other activities outside your own field, I think one of the reasons that we have so many similar films, series and books is because many artists get inspired by the same popular authors in the media and not that much by personal concepts or experiences... I never realized that the main concepts of his creations were inspired by music!
Thank you so much for this!
For someone so small, Sato surely has a deep voice! Was I the only one who noticed that?
Thankz this is very helpful.
Excellent, thanks LeSean.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for sharing educational material with us.

"I have a 20 year old Kitchenaid that has never failed. It makes simple breads and one loaf wonderfully. But when I got into making artisian breads, the old Kitchenaid just walked all over the counter and eventually couldn't fulfill the task. So, I bought a 5Qt Kitcheaid and was disappointed when it stripped its gears making 2 loafs of white bread. Returned it and the second one did the same in 2 months of making bread every weekend. So... I expanded my budget, returned the Kitchenaid for a refund, and set out to get something better. I considered the Hobart 5qt but it was too expensive. So, I got the Globe 8QT and it was a good price and a good size for the kitchen. On receiving, my first batch was 3 loafs of white bread that would have killed the kitchenaid... and the Globe 8Qt largely didn't seem to notice. The motor sounded like it didn't even have anything in the bowl and it plowed through the mixing for 12 minutes without any problems. It never even heated up like the kitchenaid did. It's like having a 450 horse power truck driving on a flat road even when towing a 25000 pound trailer. This thing is perfect for my weekend bread making hobby and the price is right to make it affordable."

Energy Future Seeks to Reject Default Claim, Extend Loans
Energy Future Holdings Corp. bonds soared after the utility asked lenders to change the terms of its debt agreement to reject a claim it defaulted on a loan and to push out maturities.
The former TXU Corp. said that "based on private negotiations," it expects lenders holding more than 50 percent of the loans and commitments under its senior secured credit facilities will approve the amendment, according to a regulatory filing today.
Energy Future, taken private in 2007 by KKR & Co. and TPG Capital in the largest leveraged buyout in history, is asking that lenders acknowledge the debt complies with the credit agreement. That would resolve a claim made in February by hedge fund Aurelius Capital Management LP that intercompany borrowings weren't completed at a so-called "arm's-length basis," meaning they may not have been made in good faith.
The company is also offering creditors "the right to extend" the first-lien term loans by three years to October 2017 and increase the interest rate by 1 percentage point, today's filing said. The Dallas-based electricity provider wants to move out the revolving credit line maturity by three years to October 2016.
Energy Future will pay 50 basis points to lenders that consent to the amendment by 12 p.m. April 7 in New York. If the extension becomes effective, it will give 3.5 percentage points upfront to lenders that agree to push out the maturities on their loans by April 12. The company will be required to sell senior secured notes to satisfy the terms of the extension, it said in the filing.
'Paying the Banks'
"The company has shifted from dismissing our claims to paying the banks to waive them," Mark Brodsky, chairman of New York-based Aurelius, said in an e-mail. "What we have learned in the interim confirms our view that an event of default has occurred."
The allegations are "utterly meritless," Robert Walters, general counsel of Energy Future, said in a February telephone interview.
"We are taking advantage of the current markets," Lisa Singleton, an Energy Future spokeswoman, said in a telephone interview. "It's just another step in trying to improve our balance sheet."
Energy Future's $1.87 billion of 10.25 percent bonds due in November 2015 rose 7.5 cents to 67.25 cents on the dollar as of 9:25 a.m. in New York, according to Trace, the bond-price reporting system of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Its $1.4 billion of 10.5 percent notes due in November 2016 climbed 14.75 cents to 70 cents on the dollar, Trace data show.
Credit Swaps
Five-year credit-default swaps protecting against a default by Energy Future dropped 4.5 percentage points to a mid-price of 34 percent upfront as of 8:56 a.m. in New York, according to broker Phoenix Partners Group in New York. That's in addition to 5 percentage points a year, meaning it would cost $3.4 million initially and $500,000 annually to insure $10 million of the company's debt for five years. The contracts had surged as high as 48.3 percent on March 14, according to data provider CMA.
