Transplant patients doing well
Michael Garcia, 19, who was born with kidney problems, received the organ from his 26-year-old brother. Michael Garcia went into kidney failure about 2 1/2 years ago and has been receiving dialysis treatment a process that filters out waste in the bloodstream as functioning kidneys would do.
This was the first pediatric transplant in the city and at Driscoll Childrens Hospital. The childrens hospital was approved for kidney transplants in September.
Doctors on Thursday said both patients are doing well.
"Michael is cruising," said Dr. Bill Allen, medical director of Driscoll Kidney Center and administrator of the renal transplant program. "Were really happy with his progress. Things are going well."
Edward Garcia, who had his surgery at Corpus Christi Medical Center-Doctors Regional, also is doing well, said Maria Garcia, the brothers mother.
The Garcias will continue to be monitored for the next five to seven days.

I've heard a lot of fans asking why the players walked away so quickly on Friday and immediately decertified and filed an antitrust suit. Many of you also wonder what exactly the players are suing over and how it will affect the situation in football going forward. I'll try to answer all your questions here:
Why did the players association decertify? The players association decertified so they could file the antitrust lawsuit. The "non-statutory labor exemption" in labor law protects collective bargaining agreements from attack under the antitrust laws. In fact, even after the collective bargaining agreement expired, as long as a "bargaining relationship" continued to exist between the NFL and NFLPA, the labor practices would have been immune from attack under the antitrust laws. By decertifying, the players ended the collective bargaining relationship and were able to file an antitrust suit.
Why did the players association decertify when they did? An interesting part of the recently-expired collective bargaining agreement was a provision that prohibited an antitrust case from being filed by players until six months after the agreement expired if the players association decertified after the expiration of the agreement. The agreement was set to expire Friday night at midnight, so the players association needed to decertify by Friday in order to avoid that waiting period.
What are the players suing over? Antitrust laws are meant to encourage competition within industries and promote fair business practices. A number of practices in the NFL could be challenged on the grounds that they violate antitrust law: restricted free agency, the franchise tag and the salary cap, to name a few. Basically, any practice that could be seen as restricting a player's ability to earn money or change teams.
Which players sued the NFL? The named plaintiffs in the lawsuit are Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Vincent Jackson, Ben Leber, Logan Mankins, Peyton Manning, Brian Robinson, Osi Umenyiora, Mike Vrabel and incoming rookie Von Miller. However, the suit is filed as a class action claim, meaning it covers all current players and incoming rookies like Miller. Adding Miller as a plaintiff allows them to attack any provisions that affect rookies like the rookie salary pool cap.
Can football be played while the lawsuit is pending? Absolutely. Until the owners announced the lockout late Friday evening, the 2011 season was still intact. Football can be played even while the players association is decertified. The lawsuit also does not affect the ability of the 2011 season to commence. The players association previously decertified in 1989 and did not reorganize until 1993, during which time Reggie White and others brought a class action antitrust suit against the league. Meanwhile, football continued to be played. It is only in the case of a lockout (initiated by the league) or a strike (initiated by the players) that football ceases.
What has happened in the past when the players sued the NFL for antitrust violations? There have been three cases that illustrate the nature of antitrust claims against the league over the years: Mackey, Powell and White.
The Mackey case attacked the "Rozelle Rule," which provided that the commissioner could compensate any team who lost a free agent with something of equivalent value from the team gaining the player, usually draft picks. The court ruled that this was an impermissible restraint on player movement. However, it's important to note that this rule was unilaterally implemented by owners. Had it been the product of collective bargaining, it would have been allowed under the non-statutory labor exemption described above. This is why you've seen similar provisions in collective bargaining agreements reached after this case.
The Powell case centered around a "right of first refusal" rule related to free agency. However, this was a collectively bargained provision (which presumably got into the agreement because owners and more power and leverage in negotiations than the players), so it was protected by the non-statutory labor exemption. Again, the product of collective bargaining cannot be attacked on antitrust grounds.
The White case more closely mirrors the situation at hand. The players association decertifed in order for the antitrust case to be filed. Reggie White is the named plaintiff the case is always associate with, but it was filed on behalf of all current and future players. In that case, White and the four other named plaintiffs alleged that a number of labor practices in the NFL violated antitrust law: the right of first refusal, the college draft system and the standard NFL contract, to name a few.
The White case was filed after the players association decertified and was not closed until April 1993. There was no formal ruling on the issues because the two sides came to an agreement that was entered as a consent decree to close the case. That agreement stated that all future disputes would be heard by an appointed Special Master with the District Court for the District of Minnesota having the right to review. (As a side note, this is what just happened with the recently decided television case – the Special Master ruled mostly in favor of the owners and then District Court Judge Doty reviewed his decision and ruled in favor of the players. This is where much of the players' leverage and confidence came from the past couple of weeks. Also, it's why everything is having to be filed in Minnesota.)
Shortly after the White case was settled, the players association reorganized and entered into a collective bargaining agreement with the league that mirrored the settlement agreement.
There have been other antitrust claims against the league, but these three give you a basis for understanding the current case.
What labor practices does this lawsuit claim violate antitrust laws? In this case, they have focused on the lockout, the college player entry draft, the salary cap and free agency restrictions.
Do the players have a good case? One of the stronger arguments the players will have is against the salary cap. They'll be able to point to the 2010 season, played with no salary cap, and show that the league survived (and maybe even thrived) without one. In order to refute it, the owners will have to provide financials showing losses they blame on the lack of a salary cap. This may very well get the players some of the financial information they were seeking.
Although the players have historically had some major victories in antitrust cases against the league, it's interesting to note defendants won 221 out of 222 cases from 1999 to 2009.

Two of the last three Kentucky Derby (gr. I) winners came out of the Florida Derby (gr. I), and based on the talent that will go to post in this year's edition of Gulfstream Park's signature event, it would not be surprising to see a third go on to wear the roses.

Viennese-American psychologist F1, Sigmund Freud's protégé, colleague, and prescient critic, had considerable influence on American psychiatry (1–4). Secretary of the Vienna Psychoanalytic Society from 1906, at age 22, and Freud's closest associate for the next 18 years, Rank was a prolific and influential psychoanalytic author in the formative years of the movement. His scope included art, music, literature, anthropology, history, science, and philosophy.
A polymath from a humble background, Rank finished trade school as a locksmith while reading voraciously. Through Alfred Adler, his family doctor, he met Freud, who employed him and sent him to the University of Vienna, where he got his Ph.D. in 1912. (Freud discouraged going to medical school.) By then Rank had published books on art, mythology, incest, and the Lohengrin saga. After World War I he directed training at the Vienna Psychoanalytic Institute and worked with a number of Americans there. Rank visited the United States in 1924, addressing the American Psychoanalytic Association, which made him an honorary member. But his work with Sandor Ferenczi on a more active psychotherapeutic technique and his controversial book The Trauma of Birth (1924) brought criticism from conservative Freudians. Rank developed a more egalitarian psychotherapy focused on the here-and-now, real relationships, conscious mind, and will, rather than past history, transference, unconscious process, and wish. His ideas on the mother-child relationship and interpersonal psychotherapy are mainstream now, but in 1926 they caused the final break with Freud.
Rank then set up practice in Paris, visiting New York regularly and finally moving there in 1935. Ousted by the psychoanalytic establishment, Rank lectured widely, taught, and practiced psychotherapy in New York. (His first wife, Beata, a lay analyst specializing in children, became a training analyst in Boston, where she died in 1967.) Among his patients and/or seminar students were psychiatrists Marion Kenworthy, Frankwood Williams, Martin Peck, and George Wilbur. Rank's post-Freudian writings include Psychology and the Soul (1930),Art and Artist (1932),Modern Education (1932),Will Therapy (1936), and Truth and Reality (1936). In October 1939, divorced and remarried, planning to become a citizen and move to California, Rank died of a reaction to sulfonamide at age 55, a month after Freud.
Otto Rank loved his new country, and Mark Twain had become his favorite author, from whom he adopted the nickname "Huck." Out of favor while analysis was dominant in American psychiatry, Rank came to the attention of a wider public in the writings of Ernest Becker (The Denial of Death [1973]) and Anais Nin. His influence on social work came through the Pennsylvania School, and on psychology through such writers as Paul Goodman, Rollo May, and Esther Menaker. Psychiatrists who acknowledge Rank's importance in their writings include Franz Alexander, Frederick Allen, Clara Thompson, Judd Marmor, Robert Jay Lifton, Carl Whitaker, and Irvin Yalom.

Thyme Poached Eggs with Bacon and Ciabatta
I found this excellent recipe for ciabatta bread (I made it into a loaf instead of pizza), the only change is that I added another half cup of flour or so since it was too watery and didn't look like the photos. Great recipe, very soft fluffy bread and it only took a couple hours to make and it very simple on a Sunday morning.
For the eggs, I poached them in cellophane (using a bowl, crack an egg into the center of the cellophane, add a sprig of thyme, and scrunch up the top). Boil for about 3-5 minutes until the whites are cooked. Serve with fresh slices of ciabatta and bacon.

Is it possible to make low-fat appetizers that are satisfying and tasty?
- twodales Dec 28, 2010 07:47 AM
With the New Year coming I thought I would try to find some healthy but delicious appetizer recipes to serve my guests. If they are trying to lose weight, I don't want to sabotage them. I would at least like to offer them an alternative. Have you had any success in this area? Would you like to share?
Happy New Year all!
Cucumber cups are popular these days...you could fill them with a yogurt or hummus mixture and top with chopped radish for a "wow! green and red!" effect...also, nuts offer good fats tho' high in calories, so maybe a dish of spiced walnuts or almonds? Also, there's a recipe for Spicy Carrot dip around also that might be an option?
Dips, toppings and sauces made with 0% Greek Yogurt are low fat and very good for you, especially when you're dipping vegetables.
Marcona almonds are a real treat.
Olives and Giardinara are low cal, but high in salt.
Serve belgian endive for dipping, instead of bread.
Make/serve breads that are lower in the glycemic index, such as whole wheat pita or socca.
Use almost fat-free ground chicken or turkey vs. ground beef in nibbles such as mini-meatballs. Serve with marinara.
Spring rolls with a high proportion of lettuce with dipping sauce
Crab Rangoon dip with low fat cream cheese(or no fat, but I am not a fan of it)
lettuce wraps with Asian chicken
hummus with veggie tray
I make crabmeat (or steamed chopped Maine shrimp) mixed with homemade cocktail sauce - serve with stoneground crackers.
I find myself making healthy spreads and dips all the time now, quick and easy and everyone goes for it big time. Goodhealthgourmet's Healthy Black Bean Dip is top of my list, then any of these: tapenade (I especially like to make it with figs), hummus, baba ganoush, caponata, ajvar or an anitpasta platter with roasted peppers, artichoke hearts, olives and so on. Put out some crackers, some Italian bread, some pita, or whatever catches your fancy to complement it. I can eat any of the above with no bread at all though.
re: financialdistrictresident
See, I told you it was a crowd pleaser! And so easy to throw together at the last minute.
Just remembered, I visited my friends from Morocco recently and their sister in law made such a gorgeous platter of hummus and babaganosh served traditionally on cucumber slices and olives on top, homemade pita on the side. Gotta remember that for my next appetizer menu. And a chef I know at a local yacht club, who is from "Persia", makes seared tuna served the same way, only for people he knows though.
If you have the patience to hollow out pieces of veggies (carrots, cucumbers, radishes, etc.) you can fill them with low fat yogurt (Greek yogurt mentioned previously) mixed with a wide range of herbs and spices for excellent appetizers that also make a nice colorful presentation.
Wonton skins can be made into little baked "cups" in a mini muffin tin. They can be done in advance and filled right before serving. I've filled with an Asian coleslaw mix topped with peanuts.
If you eliminate high-fat dairy from your ingredient list--butter, cheese, cream cheese, sour cream--and look toward recipes that don't focus on those--like Asian recipes--I think you can have delicious appetizers. Also avoid all kinds of chips and consider other crispy/crunchy things to replace them and go for 0 fat yogurt and goat cheese where you do want creaminess.
Chicken skewers with dipping sauces (rasberry chipotle, etc.).
Raw almonds roasted so they are spicy (if I remember I'll post a recipe). Almonds are one of the healthier nuts.
Raw pepitas roasted with lime juice, cayenne pepper, etc. Crunchy, low-cal and spicy.
Second shrimp cocktail with red cocktail sauce. Almost no calories. Shrimp is high in cholesterol but low fat.
Grilled shrimp with different dipping sauces.
Grilled vegetables.
Roasted curry cauliflower florets w/a golden raisin. Stick a toothpick in them . . .
Oven roasted fennel w/grated Parmesan Reggiano and EVOO. Giada's recipe is my favorite. Could be presented in a creative way so it would work as a finger food . . .
Second the Asian cooking suggestion (no dairy, so low cal) and Middle Eastern and Italian themed platters. . .
chicken meat balls, white bean/roasted red pepper dip. bean dips can be creamy without dairy
I've made a recipe for crab stuffed cucumber cups that is low fat and delish. It contains pickled ginger (sushi ginger). http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/foo...
Pinwheels would work. Spread a large tortilla/wrap with low fat boursin (or similar), a layer of sliced turkey, a row of roasted red peppers, a row of steamed asparagus. Roll it up tight, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate. Slice into "wheels" just before serving. Very pretty and great for party nibbling. Can be made the day before.
Asian chicken lettuce wraps are another idea. Also, frozen Asian dumplings/gyoza. The veggie and shrimp varieties can be light, but do some label comparison. Some contain a lot of fat, some don't.
If you're up for a brief bit of cooking during the party, consider making mussels in white wine and garlic.
re: Christnp
Or you could make your own dumplings. I use round wonton wrappers from the Asian grocery and fill with a mixture of tofu, scallions, shredded carrots, water chesnuts, hoisin sauce, toasted sesame oil, rice vinegar, and soy sauce.
They can be prepared in advance also. I 'panfry' in a nonstick skillet sprayed with PAM. When they're done, let cool, and freeze on a sheet tray. Transfer to a ziplock bag and freeze. Night of the party, bake on greased cookie sheets till they're warmed thru and crunchy on the outside. I made a ton about a month ago and have been heating them up this way for dinner on weeknights.
re: cheesecake17
That's an excellent idea. My local Japanese place charges way too much for them anyway, it's definitely time to start making them at home...
re: Feastonthcheap
An order of duplings is about $6 for 5 or 6 pieces. It's really worth it to try to make them at home! I don't do any fancy crimping or tucking or folding, just fold them over into half moons and seal the edges with a bit of water. If you're not into the veggie version, use ground turkey instead of tofu.
re: cheesecake17
Depending on where you live, some dumpling restaurants will sell them frozen in bulk -- something like $5 for 25.
Bruschetta -- tomatoes, basil, a shallot, a splash of balsamic, olive oil, and S&P --- always a crowd pleaser, because it's delicious AND healthy! Serve it on pita chips or similar if you can't stand the thought of the traditional grilled bread. Good shaved Parmesan is a great topper.
I made it for a work thing (we were having an appetizer party to trade recipes for the holiday season) and I couldn't find my bowl anywhere...later in the day, I found the Italian CFO sitting in his office, eating my bruschetta straight from the bowl with a fork.
re: sunshine842
I love the freshness of bruschetta but I find it very messy to eat. Perhaps the answer is to use a more forgiving surface? I have been using pantini which is baked pretty solidly all the way through. Or more mouth-sized servings?
re: twodales
I just slice small rounds of bread (or half-slices if I can't find a small enough French or Italian loaf), brush them with olive oil, then toast them lightly under the broiler. When they come out, rub them with the cut side of a clove of garlic. (and yeah, remind yourself that if you eat 'em all warm and garlicky, there won't be any left for your guests...)
It's just dry enough to absorb the liquid from the tomatoes, which in turns softens the toast just a little.
re: sunshine842
Sunshine: How far ahead should you toast the bread?
re: twodales
Any time -- up to the day before -- just put it in ziplocs as soon as it's cool.
Another reason I love this as an appetizer -- not only *can* it be done ahead of time, but if it's in the fridge for a few hours to allow the flavors to marry, it's *better* done ahead of time!
More time for me and my guests is always good.
Thanks everyone. My problem is I love the fatty-cheesy-deliciousness of most appetizers. To benefit myself and others it would be good to lighten up but if the "lighter" foods aren't tasty I know I won't stick to choosing them instead. Fresh and light can be good too but in the long run just not as satisfying. Living in a cold climate is more problematic because we crave those comfort foods.
I am going to experiment with the recipes you've provided and see what my guinea pigs like. I have 2 weeks until my party so I'll see what works.
Thanks all and Happy New Year!
re: twodales
I made Tomato and Bacon Salad in Bibb Lettuce Cups on Christmas Eve. Highly recommend them:
They are light, but the bacon makes them really satisfying. I used quartered grape tomatoes, but in the summer, I would use a regular fresher tomato.

Also included in the build was a 150-site motor home park for the racers, 124 of which have water, sewer, and electricity. He yanked out all of the old 375 toilets and replaced them all with Long John, the biggest toilet facility in the world, with 1,000 stalls. Doc was adamant that Pocono would never have lines for the restrooms again. To this day I'm not sure whether he was more proud of the see-through fence or Long John...probably the fence…maybe. Finally, he built an expansive Midway that is completely landscaped with 14 40-foot-high Blue Spruce, 200 picnic tables and gazebos all over that anybody can use to relax. You could say that Pocono was green long before green was a fashionable buzzword.
All of the success that Pocono has had over the years is an outgrowth of some very difficult times. Doc pulled no punches in the interview when talking about how he almost lost the track.
He had served in the Pacific during World War II as a Navy medic. Using the G.I. bill, he enrolled in the dentistry program at Temple University (where he met his soon-to-be-wife, Rose.) Upon graduation, he developed his dental practice into a very lucrative business by working 12- to 14-hour days, six and sometimes seven days a week. He then began investing in and developing properties in Philadelphia and Northeastern Pennsylvania. That's when he became involved in the start up of Pocono Raceway. But Doc and his lovely wife Rose nearly went broke a number of times while building what is arguably the most unique racetrack on the NASCAR circuit.
They held their first race on the long-gone 3/4-mile track in 1968. That was followed by the first 500-mile Indy race on what is now called the "Tricky Triangle" in 1971 and then the first NASCAR 500-mile race in 1974. But thanks to construction mistakes, the CART-USAC fight and a lot of inexperience, they ran into some serious financial problems.
I remember Doc telling me, "I was almost bankrupt two or three times but was too dumb to realize it." He went on to say that he had kept all the keys to the racetrack on one very large key ring. "I had gotten to the point
that one day I went down to the bank that held the papers on the track, walked into my banker's office, tossed the keys on the table, and said, 'Congratulations, you now own a racetrack.'" As Doc told me, when he turned around to leave, the banker wouldn't let him. After all, back then no banker wanted to own a racetrack.
It was shortly thereafter when Bill France Sr. asked Doc to meet with him in New York. France Sr. wanted the Mattiolis to stick it out and not leave the business. Doc makes no bones about the fact that he resisted France's desires. Toward the end of the meeting France pulled out a business card and penned a message for Doc on its back. During our interview Doc pulled the card out of his desk and showed it to me. It said, "on the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of millions, who within the grasp of victory, sat and waited and in waiting died."
Card in hand, Doc headed back to Pocono, deciding to give it a shot. Doc said that the Frances gave much moral support and a lot of good advice following that New York meeting. Bill Sr. and his wife, Annie B., came to the races the next two years to show their support for Pocono. Shortly thereafter he and his son, Bill Jr., gave us our second NASCAR race. From there, Pocono stabilized and became a jewel in the NASCAR crown. Still today, it's the only family-owned racetrack on the NASCAR Sprint Cup series schedule.

It's a bat script boomam.
I was able to get this working on 2008 R8 with a .vbs script. Here are setup instructions with a video: Configure BGInfo in Windows Server 2008
I have it working under Windows 7 via Login GPO, seemed to be easily done on our workstations. A Biginfo.bat file in \\servername\NETLOGON which is called by the GPO which points to the config files in \\servername\NETLOGON\BGinfo\ where the wallpaper file is also kept.
Would try this method if you are still having difficulty.
I do seem to remember falling into the trap of setting a background also thru a GPO which hid the BGInfo background to start with.
We have setup user OU's with different policies who I do not want to get the BGinfo screen so cannot see why it would not be possible to have different info/wallpapers on a per user group policy, surely just need to modify GPO script so it points to different script file which calls a different BGinfo config file.
Once I get back to work I can post the scripts up for you if you want.
Just for the record Microsoft officially do not support BGInfo on Windows 7 and this is well documented on the t'internet. There have been calls to update the product, but I feel it'll be one of those that Microsoft won't bother with.
Although some people have managed it, it requires some serious coding. I just worry that large/complex logon scripts can slow logon times. I decided in the end to do without it and it hasn't created any problems. I just use one of the many Windows 7 wallpapers stored locally on each machine via GPO for different user groups. It's certainly nicer than a plain background.
User Config > Policies > Admin Templates > Desktop > Desktop - Desktop Wallpaper - Enabled
Specify the path:or (for example):Code:
And select 'Fill' from the drop down menu. That's it :)Code:

I don't know. I like the VSCO colors but I think you can do everything manually in LR as well. I just like the idea to push a button and have almost the final result. Sometimes it is the final result.
There are a lot of free presets on the internet. Try one of them first to see if you like the results.

Gas tracking website GasBuddy.com reported Friday gasoline prices were spiking in Northwest Indiana, following wholesale price increases and the shutdown of pipelines due to rain.
On Friday afternoon, many stations in Northwest Indiana already had prices near $4 a gallon. Prices early Friday morning averaged $3.62 a gallon, according to AAA's Daily Fuel Gauge Report.
"I expect stations to increase prices 10 to 25 cents per gallon over the next day or two with some stations starting to raise prices immediately," said Patrick DeHaan, GasBuddy.com Senior Petroleum Analyst, in a statement.
DeHaan said Thursday a price hike was likely in the Great Lakes area after wholesale gasoline prices spiked. DeHaan said changes in wholesale gasoline prices can lead to increases hours later, as stations pass along changes in the price they pay for gasoline.
Torrential rain has led to shutdowns of some pipelines in the region, according to GasBuddy, and refineries have also suffered setbacks as the region received record-breaking rainfall.
DeHaan also said that prices outside the Great Lakes would largely be unaffected as wholesale prices in other regions have only risen a few cents compared to the near 25-cent increase in wholesale prices in the Great Lakes region.

Don't forget to vote if you can. No matter who your vote may be for, it's important that you do, since your vote helps decide what the country's future will be. This year is especially important, as we all know, so your vote is even more important!
With that said, of course, the only correct vote would be for @Mako; (who to the best of my knowledge does not yet have a running mate *hinthint*).

Source Notes: Source: LOUIS PASTEUR, speech at celebration honoring his seventieth birthday, the Sorbonne, Paris, France, December 27, 1892. Pasteurs son read the speech of thanks because of the weakness of his fathers voice.Rene Vallery-Radot, The Life of Pasteur, trans. Mrs. R. L. Devonshire, vol. 2, p. 297 .On his 1956 Christmas card, Adlai E. Stevenson used a version of this passage which varies slightly from the arrangement and translation given above: Not to destroy but to construct, / I hold the unconquerable belief / that science and peace will triumph over ignorance and war / that nations will come together / not to destroy but to construct / and that the future belongs to those / who accomplish most for humanity.
Louis Pasteur (December 27, 1822 September 28, 1895) was a French microbiologist, chemist and humanist. He is known most famously for his demonstrations supporting the germ theory of disease and his vaccinations, most notably the first vaccine against rabies. However, he also made many discoveries in the field of chemistry, most notably the asymmetry of crystals.

Making Stop Motion Animation Movies
3D Modeling by Vince Matthews
Stop motion animation is a filmmaking technique that has been around for years. But just what is stop motion animation?
Stop-motion is the process of animating an inanimate object like a doll or action figure. But you can animate anything using stop motion, like food or office supplies, even people!
The History of Stop-Motion
The origin of stop motion dates back to the golden age of Hollywood. The first time the technique was used was in a film called The Humpty Dumpty Circus (1897), where a toy circus and animals come to life on screen. While the technique was used periodically, it wasn't until after animator Willis O' Brien animated a giant gorilla in the original King Kong (1933) that stop-motion animation started to really make an impact in the world of film. It has really experienced a re-birth in the past twenty tears, thanks to movies like The Nightmare Before Christmas. (1993)
Creating Stop-Motion Today
Due to the fact stop-motion takes lots of time and effort to create—And that many studios prefer to use computers to animate characters—it's still a popular art and filmmaking form.
Most recently, the animated films ParaNorman (2012) and Frankenweenie (2012) used stop-motion and so does the Cartoon Network hit Robot Chicken.
Of course, probably the most popular and most well-known use of stop-motion movie is in Tim Burton's classic, The Nightmare Before Christmas.
Chris Butler is the director of the ParaNorman, which was nominated for a Oscar. Butler's Laika Studios is located in the small village of Hillsboro, Oregon. "People really do love this medium," he told the Los Angeles Times, "They respect it as an art form…They understand how much of a Herculean effort it is to make these movies — the hands-on, workshop-full-of-crazy-people aspect of it."
Making it Move
Although it's a relatively simple process, creating stop-motion animation takes a lot of time. To do it, animators first take a single still image of the subject, then move it slightly, then take another still image, then move the subject again, then take another image…
The process continues until enough images have been captured to create motion. Then in post-production (after the images have been captured) the still images are edited together and when played back at full speed make the subject look like it's moving.
Microsoft used "claymation," a form of stop-motion animation to create this Xbox commercial:
Here's a behind-the-scenes look at how it was created:
Becoming an Animator
Today stop-motion animation is used for movies, commercials and more. Learning how to create stop-motion animation is as simple as taking one of DMA's animation summer camps, like hundreds of kids did this past summer.
This amazing Skittles Short film was created by a student in DMA's animation camp:
In DMA's animation camp you'll learn first hand how to shoot, animate and edit a stop-motion movie using state-of-the-art technology and learn the same techniques used by professional animators to make award-winning films like The Nightmare Before Christmas. DMA only asks one thing: Remember us in your Oscar acceptance speech.
Meet the Next Great Engineers
DMA Success Stories by Phill Powell
Name: Koa L., Kaipo L.
Age: 10, 8
Hometown: Los Angeles, California
Future Occupation: Scientist, Musician (drummer), Architect or Designer
Course: Adventures in Science & Engineering
Campus: UCLA
Summer camp is an experience that only gets better when you bring family and friends along. Take, for example, these two brothers who attended Digital Media Academy's tech camp at UCLA in 2012.
Koa and Kaipo both spent a week at a brand new kids camp based around science and engineering. DMA's tech camps support STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) skill sets, and that's great news to parents since the Department of Labor estimates there will be 1.2 million STEM jobs available in the next 5 years.
What isn't such great news is that there aren't enough skilled graduates to fill those jobs!
This is where DMA comes in. We help provide kids and teens the tools to make STEM subjects not only interesting but a possible career path. For kids like Koa and Kaipo, they get the real-world experience—and get to show off what they've learned to friends and family at the end of the week. We caught up these two aspiring engineers after their DMA summer:
What do you want to be?
Koa: "When I grow up, I might be a drummer, an architect or a designer."
Kaipo: "Someday I want to be a scientist because I want to create something useful."
What did you learn at DMA and what did you enjoy about the Adventures in Science & Engineering camp?
Koa: "I learned how circuits work, Bernoulli's Principle of Flight, and Programming. You know, science and stuff. I also learned cartooning, like how comics are set up and how to create basic animation. Another thing I learned was architecture, where I did stuff like make a bridge out of popsicle sticks and design my dream house on a website."
Kaipo: "My favorite part was solar energy because we got to learn about how sun beams power solar panels."
How did DMA inspire you?
Koa: I play with LEGOs (at home) and build on Minecraft®. I got inspired by designing my dream house. I want to be an architect some day."
Kaipo: "DMA inspired me to be a scientist because I did a lot of fun stuff in science and engineering."
What was your most memorable camp moment?
Koa: "My favorite moment was when we built solar-powered cars and we learned about solar energy. It was really fun and I especially enjoyed racing the solar cars!"
Kaipo: "My favorite time was when we built water rockets. It was fun to make them and shoot them."
Are you interested in attending DMA camp this coming summer?
Koa: "Yes!"
Kaipo: "We want to come back to UCLA."
What DMA program will you take this time?
Koa: "I want to take the Adventures in Science & Engineering program again."
Kaipo: "3D Video Game Creation."
We're excited that Koa and Kaipo are returning to DMA. Concepts like solar-powered cars and engineering don't have to be out of reach to kids. In fact, they're more accessible than ever. DMA offers a variety of STEM-related camps and courses that will inspire the future engineer in your home.

In the Cartoon Creation class, we're using Toon Boom Studio to teach animation techniques, this software is very flexible and fun to use.
At the core of all animation are "keyframes". We find them in other animation applications, video apps, compositing apps, and even audio editing applications. Keyframes are what allow us to move our characters, animate them, change the lighting, move the camera, and make their lips move. Without keyframes, there would be no movement or change. In other words, we'd just be working with still images without keyframes, and that's not nearly as much fun!
Keyframes simplify animation by allowing us to modify our drawing over time, instead of manually drawing every single frame individually. Animating with keyframes is kind of like cutting out your character from paper and pushing him around the table. He moves smoothly, and you can reuse objects you have already drawn. The alternative is frame-by-frame animation; this is like making a flip-book, and redrawing the character on every page.
We also cover frame-by-frame animation. This is how they made the classic Disney cartoons. Toon Boom Studio has an onion-skinning feature built in to help with this kind of animation. It outlines the drawing from the previous frame, which gives you a good reference for the position of the next frame's drawing. Unfortunately, animators didn't have it this easy back in the '70s!
Toon Boom Studio has many powerful drawing tools built in. Even things like shading are easy to manage. In the picture below, the darker shading on the left side of her face was created with the shading tool. Adding shadows for characters is as easy as dragging and dropping a shadow in. The shadows even automatically update. Once we put the shadows in, we don't have to worry about them anymore. We can even draw with gradients, instead of plain colors. Check out the star in her hair. It's a smooth ramp from orange to yellow, and gives the character a subtle touch of realism.
Toon Boom Studio has a lip-syncing engine built in. This lets us record an audio track and sync the lips of our characters to fit our recorded dialog. Toon Boom Studio takes the monotony out of lip-syncing. We get to make the character speak with our voice, and the software does the tedious part of the process for us! That's pretty exciting!
One of the most exciting things about Toon Boom Studio is its compatibility with file formats that animators already use. We can import Adobe Illustrator vector files, Flash .swf's, all kinds of raster image formats, video formats, and sound formats. This means that we can use almost any source material that we can find to animate. Do you know any artists who use Adobe Illustrator? You can bring their work right into Toon Boom Studio, with no loss in quality, and no conversions!
And even more exciting is the export formats. Believe it or not, the projects you create in our course can be exported to Adobe Flash files! Flash is the industry standard for animations on the internet, so this is extremely exciting. This means that everyone with the Flash player installed can view your animation. (98% of computers with internet have Flash installed, so that's a big deal!) You can put your animations online for the world to see, or to share with friends and family! You can also export your animations to video, for use in a DVD, or a video project.
I'm very excited to see this Cartoon Creation class offered this summer. We get to create dynamic and rich animations that we can share with anyone and everyone, and our animations will play on almost any computer. It's a blast!
Make a Music Video at Film Camp this Summer!
News from HQ by Philip Harding
Want to learn how to make amazing music videos?
Come to DMA Film Camp this summer! Learn how to shoot film on HD cameras, record and edit audio samples, mix the video and audio together, and produce a complete music video!
The band Coldplay continues to come out with innovative and very creative music videos. Can you remember the music video they created for their song "The Scientist" in 2003? This music video was very interesting since the entire film appears to be shot in reverse. "The Scientist" won three MTV music awards for the video's reverse narrative effect.
This is just another example of what you can do with your film skills and some good creativity. Get inspired, and we'll see you at DMA Film Camp this summer!
Hi! I'm Ben Jaffe, one of the instructors for Digital Media Academy's Adventures Program. I want to give you a closer look at Adobe Photoshop CS4. We use Photoshop for image creation and modification in our Web Design class.
Photoshop is the industry standard for image manipulation and creation. It's even become a verb! "That looks Photoshopped!" Usually we use that term to describe photographs that look like they have been modified. Photoshop is good for many other purposes too. In this case, we're looking at a simple header for a website that we've created in Photoshop.
A header goes at the top of your website. Often, it is an image that includes elements related to the site. For example, if we are making a site about different kinds of ducks, we might make the header image look like a pond and put ducks in it!
On the far left of the above image, we can see our tools stacked vertically. We cover all the tools, but focus on the most important ones. On the right, we have several panes where we can modify the image in different ways. There are also pop-up windows that you can access in various ways, shown below.
This can all seem very overwhelming. Photoshop is an extremely deep application, which is why it is the standard for image manipulation in several industries (film, photography, print, etc). As complex as it is, with the proper guidance, it can be easy to learn even for young children. It's much like a car. For example, you don't need to know how to change the oil or replace the tires in order to get gas at a gas station. And you don't need to know how to install a spark plug in order to change the oil. As with most things, people learn Photoshop modularly, piece by piece.
There are always different ways to accomplish things in Photoshop. Everyone I know takes a slightly different approach. We teach the kids several techniques for getting different effects, and with guidance from us, we let them take the route that is most fun for them. Your child can learn basic and some intermediate techniques in Photoshop, create graphics for an incredible website, build the website, and add animation, all in a week at DMA!
I hope to see you this summer!

How to Make a Website: Adding Functionality and Interactivity
How-To, Web Design by Philip Harding
The web brings the world together. We use the internet to get directions, we use it to make purchases, plan vacations and get information. In many ways it has changed the way live our lives—and it continues to evolve.
With tools like WordPress and Joomla it's easier than ever to build a website, but you can't get the professional results without some professional direction.
The Components of Good Web Design
Unfortunately good web design doesn't just happen, for a website to be engaging, you need a few basic elements. Thinking about how your users are going to interact with your website and what kind of service or information you are providing will help you craft a site with usability.
1. Theming & Design
If you're making a website about robots, you might think of using metallic colors for borders. If you're building a site for a flower shop, you might consider vibrant colors and images of flowers. It's important that your theme and design is interesting and appealing to your target audience.
2. Information & Fonts
Fonts or the style of text you use can easily communicate a theme, but they should also be considered for usability. There are two basic font types: serif and sans serif. Serif fonts have an added flourish and don't tend to look as clean as sans serif fonts when they are brought down in size. How much text will your site have? If it's a lot, you should consider a cleaner sans serif font. Stick to three basic fonts, a headline font, a subhead font and body copy—and keep them in a similiar family. More than three fonts can be distracting and make your site look unorganized.
Do you pictures have captions or descriptions? Do you present contextual or similar content in a way that it's easy for users to find more content similar to what may have brought them to your site?
3. Usability & Interaction
Your website should be easy to navigate, meaning that the information should be organized and user friendly. A slideshow or gallery might be a great way to show off images but if the interface is clunky or not intuitive it won't appeal to your users.
4. Scanner Friendly Presentation
More and more, our TMI (Too Much Information) society skims over information. Long paragraph? TL;DR (Too Long, Didn't Read). Instead use bulleted or numbered lists. Images, infographics and other entry points can make an article more inviting and easier to read.
Best Practices for the Web
Where do you go to learn web design? Digital Media Academy teaches web design with the latest tools and technology, which is important in the constantly changing world of the web. Taught by industry professionals and tech educators with years of experience in their field, at DMA's tech camps for kids and teens students learn the web design skills and techniques they need to build amazing websites.
Creative web designers and web developers continue to push the limits of what is possible on the new web frontier, don't wait any longer to become a part of this exciting interactive space.
I'm Ben Jaffe, one of the instructors for Digital Media Academy's Adventures Program. I teach Game Design and Web Design.
On the surface, the Game Design class may look somewhat straightforward. But it's much more than simply creating fun games with our students. In our classes, we also teach important programming concepts, which can be the foundation for a future programming career.
Game Building can be frustrating for somebody who has never done it before. As games become more and more complex, the instructors are there to help them understand how to build their games well. Programmers call it "extensibility." Here's an example of how students encounter this in DMA's Adventures Game Design class:
A few days into the week, we usually start working on an RPG game. The player controls a character who interacts with bystanders in the game to get information or collect items. The students quickly discover how frustrating it is to program actions for every single bystander in the game individually. The same goes for other objects in the game, such as allies, enemies, keys, coins, and projectiles. It's much easier to group them together, and make a rule saying, "Whenever the character talks to any bystander, run this action."
Extensibility is not the only programming concept that we teach to the kids. They learn the importance of game planning, bug testing, and proper pacing to effectively meet deadlines. They also develop an understanding of variables, and an introductory understanding of object-oriented programming. Instead of lecturing to the students, we let them discover and understand the concepts by themselves, with guidance.
Most importantly, we teach the kids programming concepts without them even realizing it! If they pursue a career in computer science or game design, they will already understand the importance of extensibility, testing, planning, and pacing. Though it may seem like just another fun summer course, every student gets much more out of it – skills they can use for the rest of their lives.
See you in the Summer!
