the growth in global business and describes a framework for future activities aimed at reaching a shared understanding of the rights and responsibilities of MNCs in an age of technological interdependence.
Global political, economic, and technological trends promise opportunities for growth in international business on a scale that is, perhaps, unprecedented.
The end of the Cold War, the dynamism of East Asia, and the emergence of new market economies means an improving political economy for global business. The dissolution of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War are, of course, geopolitical developments of profound importance. Although experts differ on the ultimate direction of political and economic changes, there is reason to hope that the relaxation of Cold War tensions will contribute to a more positive international environment for investment and long-term economic growth.
Even before the collapse of communism in Eastern and Central Europe, the trend of nations around the world has been toward market-oriented economic policies. The market-oriented East Asian economies have set the pace over the past several decades and, despite current difficulties, it is likely that economic growth will continue in the Asia Pacific region. China's economic growth has been conspicuous recently, but reforms have been implemented in India and a number of Latin American nations as well. As illustrated by the economic upheavals in Mexico in 1994 and 1995, transition to more open market systems continues to raise its own challenges for individual countries and international institutions. Progress is likely to be uneven, as explained in more detail below. Still, the overall trend remains powerful: emerging market economies in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and Africa have strong incentives to seek greater integration into the world economy.

Three things got me thinking today: First, I participated in a company function: we drew our characters for retail company execs who came to visit and be presented with new lines of consumer products. Second, one of my colleagues participated in a company portfolio review this past weekend at the infamous, San Diego Comic Con. He told me about how "ignorant" so many aspiring animation artists were about compiling a professional animation portfolio. And, finally today, were a few typical conversations with hopeful interns about working at the studio. All of which made me decide to offer my perspective about how one might break in to the animation business and work for one of the major studios. I hope it's helpful and that this is a post people could refer to instead of having to field recurring questions. Rather than telling my story of what eventually led me to the character animation program at CalArts (http://filmvideo.calarts.edu/programs/character-animation) and into the business, I thought I'd just offer some practical tips and leads which I've come to know over my 11 years in the business.
I should start by stating that CalArts was my dream school (I was drawn to it because of the rawness of the campus and interdisciplinary schools, not to mention the heritage of the animation programs. I believe that it certainly helped gain the confidence to get started. But, those were the days of Netscape-all the resources available now didn't exist. I'd recommend the school to anyone interested in animation, but I'd have to add the caveats that getting in is very competitive (many applicants/few slots), it's expensive, and the more general education units you can transfer with, and the stronger your art education is to begin with, the more you'll get out of the animation programs.
These are some of the fundamental art skills you need to learn prior to getting in the business; they include: Perspective; Human and Animal Anatomy; Graphic Design-or, design period; Film-film language/direction; Illustration; Animation Principles…
And, here are a few secondary skills that would also help: Color Theory; Acting/Improvisation; Writing/Story Telling; Public Speaking; Literature; History; Physics; and Music would also be a big plus. Well, those are some skills that came off the top of my head. Mind you, I don't claim to be proficient in all those categories. But, I think each category adds to your animation repertoire.
Virtually any good art program will provide you with those fundamental skills. Personally, I would really focus on anatomy, graphic design, illustration; and film language. When it comes to animation you have to feel like you can draw anything. It's a visual medium and it helps to be able to convey your ideas that way.
Drawing from life should be a fun exercise, not an intimidating chore which it can be when you're begining. In truth, reference is always available. So, you just have to make sure you can draw things structurally, consistently, and appealingly. I've had many good drawing teachers. In LA we have the Animation Union where you can take classes from Carl Gnass (http://spirit-of-the-pose.com/). He was one of my teachers who really emphasized anatomy and locating those all-important "anchor points"-"landmarks" on the body that help you remain consistent with your drawings. I also took some classes from Steve Huston (http://www.hustonartschool.com/) who was great at breaking down the body into geometric and anatomical forms. His approach really helped to understand the surface areas and how to fully render a human form, giving it more weight and life. I was also fortunate to take some classes from Walt Stanchfield (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkLZfu_Y92g). Disney has published two volumes of his drawing wisdom. I highly recommend them. He emphasized gesture and story. He was always looking at simplifying and making more clear the intent of your drawing. There was always room to push a gesture further for clarity. A few great teachers I had at CalArts were: Micheal Mitchell (http://spencerockwell.blogspot.com/2009/09/to-greatest-mentor-i-will-ever-know_06.html) , Eva Roberts and Corny Cole (http://natsukonook.wordpress.com/2011/06/07/corny-cole/). Those three seemed cut from the same cloth. Mike Mitchell really emphasized utilizing contrasting values and dynamic perspective, while Eva was trying to push the boundaries of design and drawing, and Corny was more about capturing the movement and being in the moment. I also took classes from Glen Villpu (http://vilppustudio.com/), Doree Dunlap (http://www.orangecoastcollege.edu/about_occ/news/full+story.htm?id=11905), and Bob Wendell (http://www.orangecoastcollege.edu/about_occ/news/Full+Story.htm?id=17928) who each provided me with great fundamental drawing skills. I name these teachers not to "name-drop" but because I remember each fondly. Finding the messages they each imparted have been the great gifts that have become part of me. I hope you also take the time to consider what you gleaned from your art teachers. That is what instills those guiding voices in your head as you move forward.
Graphic design is pretty important to me because ultimately film is a graphic medium. I think the way you compose your imagery is like a signature. It's something that you can make your own and add value to your personal "brand". You need to understand composition and know how to manipulate the space and the eye of your viewer. As a character designer, it's important to be able to step back and see what you're creating from a graphical standpoint. And, in story telling you have to be able to direct the eye by using graphic design tricks-anything from using values, shapes, symbols, perspective. So, a strong graphic design base will help you a lot. There are plenty of great graphic design inspirations like branding, websites, books, and cinema! Just look at the way Wells, Hitchcock, Wilder, Speilberg, Bird…etc. compose their shots. Besides those, I think a good graphic design teacher should be sought out; someone who can share hands on techniques and expose one to various approaches to design. So, I would research where the best teachers are in your area.
Illustration is related to graphic design, but it emphasizes storytelling. In illustration things like: staging, expressions, lighting, gesture, etc. are all involved. And, it should be pretty clear how useful those skills would be in animation. There are many great artist blogs out there to get inspired by. I'm not going to share my biases and list any. I think it's best to do your own searching and discover your own sensibilities…Alright, just one:
"Film Language" is another important aspect of animation that I learned in the CalArtsFilm School. Books like "Shot By Shot" or, "The Five C's of Cinematography" are great resources toward getting a handle on the subject. Basically, cinema has certain "laws" that you need to be aware of when you try to tell a story in motion picture or "animation". I'm talking about screen direction, camera position, cutting, etc. If you're going to work in the business, it helps to know the terminologies, and literally the language of the craft.
I can go on and on about those fundamental skills and why I think they are of value to an aspiring animation artist. But, I'll just suggest that you think about each of those I listed above, and maybe focus on some that you're not familiar with.
As far as a portfolio goes, the common response to those asking about what to include is firstly, to make sure you are proficient with those fundamentals I mentioned. You want to show only your best work and keep it concise. Be mindful of the person waste deep in portfolios, and make it easy to flip through and memorable. By that, I mean try to show a little bit of yourself in your portfolio; whether it's in the way you laid it out, or the kick-ass work inside of it. It never hurts to demonstrate your strong draughtsmanship with solid human and animal drawings; or props and architecture. But, also tailor the rest toward the position you seek. If you're looking for work as a layout artist, make sure you make that exclamation within the content of that portfolio; or props, backgrounds, color styling, character design, storyboarding…Whatever it is! It helps to know which production you're aiming for. And, you can usually find that information on a studio's website, or by contacting someone in recruiting. Having production work in your portfolio is probably very helpful. It's not very professional to include trademarked (or copied) character art in your portfolio. Don't forget your resume and cover letter too. This portfolio advice is based on what I have learned over the years and what I've been told by recruiters. And, I'm probably dating myself right now because portfolios are becoming archaic and many artists are opting for full blown websites to promote themselves. Websites are just as subjective. Again think about the person viewing it. The more organized and easy to view your work, the better, I think. Some people get caught up in clever design and forget that it may be difficult to navigate easily. I'd opt for easy navigation; partitioning your work by category. Most people do that naturally. If you're presenting storyboards, why not embed an animatic? It demonstrates your sense of timing and intentions better than a hard to look-at "one sheet" of boards would. You'd probably also want to show sample from those scenes or sequences larger for more scrutiny. That said, there are some "old school" bosses who may prefer to see your boards in a familiar format. Just be mindful of that and try to accommodate. For me, there's still something to be said for a tangible portfolio. Anyway, portfolios are basically personal and subjective, so take my words with a grain of salt. I wouldn't want to discourage someone with a whole new approach, or who's ahead of their time. Also, these days they look at your virtual "paper trail". So, don't put or say anything on the web that you will regret.
Finally, I'll list some resources I have found helpful and inspiring:
Animation books: "The Illusion of Life" is a very comprehensive study of character animation by two of the "Nine Old Men"; "The Animator's Survival Kit" by Richard Williams is another comprehensive animation book which tends to break the process down into more technical terms. And, "Character Animation Crash Course" by Eric Goldberg is a great book which also comes with a DVD. He covers the essential animation techniques in a simpler fashion. His book emphasizes contrasts and acting. It's also a great book for getting a grasp on timing. Stepping through the sample animation on the DVD is also very enlightening. Those classic 'Walter Foster and Preston Blair books on Cartooning' also (still) contain great nuggets. Beyond these more fundamental books, you'll find a plethora of "art of books" to inform and inspire.
As far as blogs…
I think Cartoon Brew is a great place to start and get informed about what the latest in the field of animation is. There are many links to other animation related blogs right there on Cartoon Brew's homepage (http://www.cartoonbrew.com/).
To learn about story, I highly recommend Mark Kennedy's blog,
http://sevencamels.blogspot.com/. He really goes deep on the subject.
I think Sherm Cohen provides a lot of great practical content (which you could purchase) at: http://storyboardsecrets.com/blog/
Plus, I found this insightful "essay" on "Writing Well" by Dan Simmons:
For character design, you can find many individual aritist blogs; http://characterdesign.blogspot.com/
or, Mike Milo's interesting blog: http://www.animationinsider.com/
is a good place to start.
Also, John K's prolific blog is fantastic (and opinionated) for all around animation knowledge,
For animation study you might want to check out:
And, for a little animation history, check out:
(look for the link to the "Animation Archive"-link isn't working)
I'll try to refine this whole post with some hyperlinks and tags. But, this is a start. For a little insight about me, I can tell you that I have been fairly successful: I've achieved my goals, but have not always moved into the more creative positions I've desired. I do believe that things happen for reasons. The reassuring thing for me has been to work alongside some of the most talented people in the industry. And, that has helped me gauge my relative competence. Truth be told, talent is one thing; luck, relationships, and timing are other very important factors of "moving up" or even getting your foot in the door. One thing you may learn as I have, is that predicting where you'll be is futile. You're better off living in the moment while aiming for your goals. But, having goals and taking the right steps to attain them has been pretty key for me. It's a very competitive and small industry. So, while I wouldn't want to discourage anyone from trying, I think you should at least know that. And, the sooner you start making those "10,000 bad drawings" and getting those basic skills under your belt, the more likely you'll succeed in getting that dream job.
If you're interested in animation schools, that is an easy subject to Google. There are a few smaller schools which may not be listed like: Gnomen, Studio Arts, The Animation Union, iAnimate, Animation Mentor, Schoolism, etc. Many people are going to those schools to upgrade their skill sets. They are more like trade schools and most are more CG animation oriented (as far as I know). They are also pretty pricey. So, again, it behooves you to tackle the fundamentals before you really begin to invest money in your education. I didn't talk about CG animation much because frankly, I haven't yet warmed up to it. I've taken courses and know the rudimentary tools, but that is a beast onto itself. Regardless, the principles of animation and all those skills I cited apply just the same to CG. The big difference is getting familiar with the tools and interface of the animation software used. For me, CG has been a step further away from the immediacy and tactility of drawing which I love. But, I'm pretty sure that CG is the future of commercial animation. I hope the fundamentals never get lost though. And, I hope this post helps you reach your goals in some way. Going back the to beginning, when you have an opportunity like representing your company at their events, you should take it. Extending yourself, sharing and "giving back" are probably the best paths I know of toward growth.
EDIT: Since Cartoon Brew linked to my post here I have received a lot of messages. Firstly, thanks for the positive responses. And, there were a few interesting comments on CB's thread. "ZigZag" had another set of tips 'for the aspiring artist' which are more pragmatic, but also worth reading. The tone seemed a little cynical to me, but hard to argue about the points raised. I'll never forget my first character animation teacher (though, I forgot his name) at CalArts who came off as a very jaded. No one really appreciated whatever he had to offer because he tempered everything with an 'yeah, good luck' attitude. That didn't sit well with the eager beavers who were paying a lot to be there and be inspired to learn. One thing that ZigZag said was, "Take the garbage jobs as much as the great ones." That's what I meant about sounding cynical. But, I agree that you never know what good can come out of smaller situations. In fact, one of the most fun jobs I had was at a really small place that didn't pay well. But, I worked with a bunch of friends. We all ate lunch together. It was a good atmosphere-good times. Those friendships haven't gone away. They were only strengthened by that experience. Some of us moved on, and it's likely our paths will cross again. Plus, a lot of times you learn even more in smaller settings because you are required to perform multiple roles. So, don't dismiss "lesser jobs" too quickly. My attitude is a little different than ZigZag's, I think. For me, once I set my eye on the prize I don't take my eye off of it unless the odds are unrealistic or I've shifted focus. I think that's key to success: know your limits-not unlike surfing. You wouldn't want to ride a wave that you knew was going to kill you. But, that doesn't mean you shouldn't push yourself to your limits to improve. Here's the link to Cartoon Brew's thread for a little more insights: http://www.cartoonbrew.com/ideas-commentary/tips-for-the-aspiring-animation-artist.html#comments
Btw, if there are other topics you'd like to know more about regarding working in the field, feel free to message me here (in the 'going left or right? field), and I'll try to address them. Thanks again!

InTouch 03-22-04
by Dr. Charles Stanley
March 22
In Touch Daily Devotional
Overcoming Worry
Matthew 6:25-34
What is it that you worry about most? Is it your health, your family, or maybe your finances? Though we believe that God's promises are dependable and that He cares for us, we keep on worrying. It is important that we distinguish between worry and legitimate concern. We are supposed to have a genuine sense of responsibility so that we carry our load and correct things that need fixing. But worry is more than that-it is a corrosive poison that eats away at our trust in God. What can we do about it?
To start with, we need to be aware of the difference between being a believer in Jesus and being a follower of Jesus. A believer is one who has placed his trust in the Lord for salvation and has received the gift of eternal life. A follower goes beyond that and attempts to know God and obey Him. When that happens, we become increasingly knowledgeable about the Word of God and the true nature of our Father and His care for us. When we become fully convinced that our God is just as good and loving as the Bible depicts Him, we will surely avoid the ways of worry.
From the Bible, we learn that our heavenly Father is aware of all our needs and desires, and still He commands us not to worry. Now think about that. Would God ever tell you to do something and not enable you to do it? Absolutely not! He always provides for whatever He demands.

Like the fictional monk he maintained hunting dogs, and his table included the luxury food of upper-class feasts like swan, herons, and deer, often the gifts of local landholders; he purchased pipes of wine at Hull and York; his clothing was lined with fur, and he maintained a manor house at Rawcliffe, near York, for recreation. Gifts to visiting minstrels and other entertainers indicate that the abbey was on the touring schedules of the entertainers who served the local nobles and gentry. Nonetheless, Selby was still also able to attract the patronage needed to fund fashionable religious services. In 1398 Walter Skirlawe, bishop of Durham, granted property to establish a chantry for a priestmonk to celebrate a daily mass and a yearly obit in the abbey church, while Henry Snaith, a royal clerk, established a chantry at Selby's cell of Snaith during Shirburn's abbacy.leet olde thynges pace,

What's stalling the move to IP video in the financial sector?
We saw the same trends at the IT-centric Interop show. Video on the network is often seen as the enemy to IT departments; so, in each industry we need to distinguish between network video surveillance, which is controllable, and the streaming YouTube-type video that most IT folks must contend with. For bank IT departments, do advanced compression standards like H.264 add weight to the argument?
The real issue is the cost of the pipeline. To successfully mitigate risk, banks still need to record numerous cameras with high-image clarity. So, even when using the H.264 compression standard, this high-quality video can put a significant demand on bandwidth and storage. The cost for a secure line that can handle that level of data traffic with sufficient speed can be a higher burden than most banks are willing to bear. Unless everything becomes free, or very low-cost, bandwidth usage is still going to be a barrier to adoption.
Maybe this is why banks across Europe have seen far more success with IP surveillance. Broadband is more widely available and oftentimes faster for less money than in the United States. But still, high-quality video should only be needed at the actual branch, not offsite. Internal pipeline speeds are plentiful and should be more than enough to transmit this video at a low cost. For anything that needs to be transmitted offsite, the bandwidth challenge would be the same even if they were using an analog DVR. But like you mentioned before, this comes down to educating the end-users and integrators on the difference in bandwidth and speed needs for onsite storage vs. offsite archiving. Let's go back to what you said earlier regarding "secure lines." Are there any special compliance issues that would impact the use of IP video?
Integrating video with transaction data subjects financial institutions to a PCI (Payment Card Industry) audit. To add value to a financial institution, the video footage needs to be easily searchable. Ideally, we'd like to be able to pull up transaction "123" at a particular ATM and see if someone "borrowed" a debit card and withdrew $50 from the account. However, linking journal transaction numbers, withdrawals and deposits with personal account numbers raises a red flag when it comes to data security standards. It is one of the reasons ATM receipts only print out the last four digits of the account number. Maintaining compliance within the integration can be complex, and the ability to marry video footage with corresponding transaction information needs to be further developed. There's a fine line between tagging the video for easy retrieval and maintaining compliance. With IP technology, tagging video can be achieved — now, we have to work with the banks to make them feel comfortable with the new process.
Will the efforts by various organizations to create industry standards help ease the transition to IP?
While the analog world is portrayed as proprietary and the IP world is portrayed as an open one, not all vendors truly adhere to the standards they claim to support. In an ideal world, IP video technology would be able to be mixed and matched since everyone would build their equipment to an agreed-upon standard. But standards are applied at multiple levels and when you delve deeper into the technology, you find that some vendors' cameras will only work with select network video recorders. No one wants to be caught investing in a dead-end standard. The IP manufacturers who will win are the ones committed to an open ecosystem and consistent standards. The biggest challenge to the widespread adoption of IP technology remains the cost. Even with the cost of IP video technology decreasing, financial institutions still need a partner who will help them to understand the cost vs. benefit ratio. It is all about the goals of the individual bank and how technology can help them meet those goals.

With the Ottawa Senators tucked away in Banff, Alberta on a team bonding session ahead of Saturday's game in Winnipeg, there is a sliver of good news. With 4 of the 5 teams directly ahead of the Sens in action on Thursday night, they didn't lose any ground on the final wild card spot.
The Columbus Blue Jackets, who held the final wild card position heading into the night, was dominated by the defending champion Chicago Blackhawks by a score of 6-1 and fell out of the spot into 9th place because…
The Detroit Red Wings fell 3-2 in overtime to the Colorado Avalanche. Andre Benoit had the OT winner for the Avs. The point moved the Wings into a tie for the 2nd wild card spot but get the nod ahead of Columbus on the basis of having played one fewer game.
The Washington Capitals, who sit one point behind the Wings and Blue Jackets, also lost 3-0 to the Boston Bruins.
The Tampa Bay Lightning also lost, although 9 points clear of the Senators they would have to go on a monumental slide for the Senators to catch them.
So, it could have been much worse for the Senators. They still sit 4 points back of the 2nd wildcard spot, still have 4 teams to jump over. It is no longer in their own control, and they are going to have to get help on a nightly basis if they are going to draw closer to a post-season berth.
The help could come, but if they don't take care of business on their own then all the help in the world won't matter a bit. That starts on Saturday afternoon in Winnipeg

The nearly year-long process to sell the Nürburgring has reportedly entered its final phases, with the historic track's liquidators closing bids on the track on February 17, according to the Rhein Zeitung newspaper. Interestingly, Formula One boss Bernie Ecclestone is rumored not to be among the bidders, despite previous news to the contrary.
Of course, Ecclestone has had problems of his own in recent months. He was indicted for alleged bribery in July related to buying a portion of Formula One stock back from a German bank and could face up to 10 years in prison. He stepped down from the board of F1 in January to prepare for the trial. Ecclestone said he was interested in buying the Nürburgring shortly after it declared bankruptcy and said he had registered a bid for the course a month ago, according to Crash. It doesn't appear that Ecclestone's bid has been accepted, though.
While the official list of bidders has not been released by the liquidators, Rhein Zeitung is citing an inside source that says Ecclestone is not among them. The newspaper notes there are at least three bidders for the German racetrack – Düsseldorf-based Capricorn, H.I.G. Capital and an unknown US-based investor. It is not immediately clear whether the bidders are attempting to buy the whole track or portions of it. The liquidators would like to have the sale finished by the end of March to be ready for the coming racing season.

World Cup to boost e-commerce in Brazil in 2014
Summary: The segment should generate almost R$40bi in business due to the sporting events
The World Cup should provide a boost to the Brazilian e-commerce segment, with a 27 percent increase in 2014 in relation to last year's figures and R$39,5bi ($16,6bi) in business predicted for 2014.
According to the Brazilian E-Commerce Association (ABComm), investments in local infrastructure and 4G should increase the numbers of Brazilians buying online during the year of the football tournament.
"The World Cup should boost mainly sales of electronics and sporting goods, which are already strong in [Brazilian] e- commerce," says ABComm president Mauricio Salvador.
Last year, the BRazilian e-commerce segment generated R$31,1bi ($13.1bi) in business, a 29 percent grown in relation to the prior year, with 53 million people purchasing items online. The most popular product categories were fashion and accessories, home appliances, health and beauty, electronics and personal computing items.
"Despite the slowing economy and the increasing levels of personal debt in Brazil, the national e- commerce gained ten million new customers in 2013, which helped maintain the industry's average growth rates of recent years," says Salvador.
Until very recently, e-commerce was not a regulated activity in Brazil. Last year, rules have come into force to address consumer issues related to the segment in what is the first set of guidelines for any business wanting to sell online in the country.

MythBusters Comes To Thunderhill
When last we met, Thunderhill Park was about to open its doors, participating in the birth of a race track and joining the harsh reality in motorsports venue operations. Like most new parents of a neonate, we weren't exactly sure what we were doing. The track was done as far as we could go. We had a trailer for timing and scoring and another trailer which was basically a place for the stewards and for Pauline Laskin and her race central crew at the grand opening. The track had no curbs and remarkably few walls. The chosen weekend was Halloween and the San Francisco Region of the SCCA was ready. Since 1988 the Club had, in varying degrees, anticipated this event. The buzz within the road racing world and the local community was at an all-time high.
Toyo Tires will offer a new open tire contingency program to all Enduro classes during the 2013 regional racing season. The new contingency program will be available immediately and like all Toyo contingencies, it will be available to Enduro entrants competing on the Proxes® line of Toyo tires.
This new offering to the expansive Toyo contingency program in 2013 increases the available contingency from Toyo Tires to a whopping $10,000,000 in contingency value to NASA racers. One very important note about this new program is its availability to current Toyo contingency participants in other classes. Product awards are available to competitors in addition to any regional Toyo contingency they may have qualified for during the same day. This program is separate in nature and eligible for contingency awards even if a competitor may have already qualified for "Toyo bucks" during the same day. Simply put, if you usually run in a regional sprint racing class on a Toyo tire and collect contingency, you are now eligible to join the ranks of the Enduro competitors and vie for contingency in those classes as well!
Click here to find out more.
If you have been reading the story of Thunderhill you know we are up to the part where we start construction. We had just gotten permission to build the track and the period of notification to the local area had passed with nary a single complaint. The next step before construction was to announce the successful status of the track effort. We did this through a video and a site visit plus Wheel press. The video was made using a helicopter to fly over a track carved into the landscape that sort of replicated the design created by Steve Crawford. We shot the video by hanging off the runner of the helicopter as it followed the path of the track plowed into the earth by our new neighbor Thor Oden. We still have that video. We showed the video at the SCCA banquet in 1992 and we issued press in the Wheel. I think Club members were pleased with what they saw and heard but there were still those folks who thought that Willows was too far away and that this would be the death knell of the project. The original parameter for location was one hour from the intersection of 580 and 680 in Pleasanton. It had to do with travel time.
Dear NASA 25 Hours of Thunderhill Competitor,
Many of you are likely already planning for the 2013 25 hours of Thunderhill, but we wanted to take a moment and inform you of your chance to relive all the action during "Survive the 25" Airing on NBC Sports Network March 15 at 12:00 a.m. ET/9:00pm PT. The documentary brought to you in part by Mazda and Hankook Tires follows 4 teams as the attempt to complete the longest and most punishing endurance road race in North America. I'm certain you will spot many folks you know and maybe even see yourself or team during thetelecast. We hope you enjoy the production!
As a courtesy to our continued efforts of bring your stories to as many people as we can reach, would each of you be so kind as to post the link below on your Facebook walls to not only let all of your friends know how challenging this race truly is, but to also help spread the word on just how much fun endurance racing truly can be!
We would also ask that each of you like us on Facebook for any additional details regarding this great event.
For those of you who remember the "Fractured Fairy Tales" segment of the Bullwinkle Show I now offer a similar version of the conception, birth and growth of Thunderhill Park, [the Hill] our now adult road race track just about to celebrate its 20th year. Wow, time flies when you are having fun!
One of the best parts of the story of the Hill is that it came about as a solution to a problem confronting the then board of directors of the San Francisco Region of the Sports Car Club of American [Incorporated April 15th, 1953] that included Tom McCarthy, Roger Eandi, Gary Meeker, Lynn Hunting, Jon Norman, Tom Piantanida and Clint DeWitt. What they decided to do as a result of feeling poorly treated by the management of the tracks serving the area, specifically Laguna Seca and Sears Point, was to build their own road course. Why not?
Willows, Ca. February 14, 2013….. Alternative Energy Systems [AES] a Chico based solar company is ensconced at the local Thunderhill Raceway Park in the process of installing 314 solar panels to the already diverse energy program at the Willows road race track. The $336,824 project began just a week ago and is schedule to bring the facility to a point nearing grid-neutral status when combined with the track's three wind generators and the pending solar field to be located on 133 acres of property north of the raceway. "We are very excited about this project and what it means to the image and energy use of Thunderhill Park," noted track energy expert Stuart Seitz. Seitz is a 2010 graduate of Chico State and three-year employee of the raceway located at 5250 Hwy 162 in Willows.
This year Marks the 10th year of the NASA 25 hour race at Thunderhill Raceway Park. The event will run from Saturday December 8 starting at 11:00 am until Sunday December 12 ending at 12:00pm. Spectators are welcome and ther is a gate fee of $15 per person with children under 16 free.
If you've never been to a long endurance race before, you're missing out. At 25 hours, NASA's annual enduro at Thunderhill is the longest in the world. Though it's mostly amateur teams running, there's no shortage of excitement, skill, determination, perseverance, hard work, and hard decisions. Click here to read more.

An international line up of live audiovisual improvisations producing tangible sound and visceral vision, corporeal signals and audience interference.
Unconscious Archives transverses noise core and vision spectacle bringing together expanded cinema and sonic propositions from London and afar. UA#13 presents an international line up of live audiovisual improvisations producing tangible sound and visceral vision, corporeal signals and audience interference.
Austrian video artist Michaela Grill (laptop) together with Canadian filmmaker Karl Lemieux (16mm film projectors) and British turntablist Philip Jeck (turntables), will present a unique and improvised audio-visual performance in which image and sound, analog and digital elements are synergistically interwoven.
Guillaume Cailleau (France, super 8) and Jan Slak (Slovenia, drums) present #2.06 - a stark, punk statement in expanded cinema described as "tangible sound, beating under the skin, wrapped into an envelope of stereo film projection".
Karolina Raczynski (London) explores the role of the screen by using video, film, Internet, public intervention, sound and performance. Her work attempts to move beyond the single screen setup and instead emphasises the perception of the projection as an event or a physical experience.

The fun begins. Coach Ryan, get ready.
Channel 2 in Pittsburgh is reporting that Jets WR Santonio Holmes had to be escorted off an airplane last night in Pittsburgh International because of disruptive behavior.
Allegedly, Holmes was asked to turn off his iPod before the plane took off and he refused. Eventually he was allowed back on the plane after complying with officials.
I'm sure the passengers loved to have to sit on the plane for who knows how long because Santonio needed to hear his music.

Spillow for booshmanic
She came for him. No one had ever done that. But there she was when he picked up his gaze. Still looked like a little flower peaking out to see if the sun was shining. He could bet she still smelled like strawberries and power too. Her eyes were so hopeful and her smile so vulnerable, and when she gave him a little wave he knew he was done. He was hers.

Avoid drop box file permission issues
Well running a
sudo chown -R yourusername ~/Public/Drop Box/
would change all the files in your Drop Box to the proper ownership.
I don't know much about applescript, but could you make a script that runs that command every time something is put into that folder? I don't know if you can do that because changing the ownership requires a sudo and you would have to type in your password.
Avoid drop box file permission issues
thanks for this hint! i love using drop boxes but hadn't found a workaround for this issue. i use hazel instead of folder actions, and hazel does allow you to use shell scripts. i'm not sure how you would handle this from a non-admin account, though.
Avoid drop box file permission issues
read up on how to edit the sudoers file.
Authentication using AppleScript
Just an addendum. In AppleScript you can bring up the authentication dialog with the phrase:
Avoid drop box file permission issues
Although quite kludgy, if you wanted to avoid the superuser authentication issue while executing an applescript, you could write a folder action to attach to your dropbox that duplicates the file, thereby changing ownership to you (as you're doing manually now), then overwrites the original file with the copy.

FRIDAY, Oct. 3 (HealthDay News) -- The ideal way to encourage big businesses to respond to public health problems could involve compelling them with performance-based regulations or, conversely, fostering an atmosphere of collaboration with them, according to two Head-to-Head articles published Oct. 2 in BMJ.
Stephen D. Sugarman, J.D., of the University of California-Berkeley, writes that entering into voluntary agreements with industries such as junk food manufacturers and tobacco companies, aren't sufficient for creating the desired public health outcomes. Rather, the government might tell these companies that they must ensure outcomes such as less childhood obesity or reduced smoking prevalence. Such companies could then develop their own creative approaches to accomplish these requirements or face a penalty.
However, Stig Pramming of the Oxford Health Alliance in London, United Kingdom, responds that increased regulation and the resulting changes from industry aren't guaranteed to change behaviors, particularly when these behaviors are deeply rooted in a society. Instead, businesses are growing increasingly sensitive to the societal effects of their practices and concerned about the public's perception of them. As a result, cooperation and partnerships with businesses offer the way to encourage corporate responsibility.
"The North American supermarket chain Hannaford has [implemented] its own nutrition score for in-store products in order to guide consumers to the healthiest alternative in each food group," Pramming writes. "Cooperation is an urgent priority, and we must act to ensure that business is part of the solution. Regulation is no substitute for collaboration. We have no time left to lose."
Sugarman disclosed a relationship with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and is a paid consultant to Public Health Law and Policy, which receives grants from both the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and California Tobacco Control Program.

Appropriations: GOP leader would shift Public Integrity Unit funding to the Attorney General
by Paul Burka
Wed April 15, 2009 9:46 pm
This is amendment number one to the Appropriations bill, by Wayne Christian, the chairman of the Conservative Coalition. And he wants to kill the Public Integrity Unit! That's going to make the Republicans look great.
The proposal is something that had been talked about during the Craddick years--shift the funding to the AG and unleash him to go after Democrats. It is payback for Ronnie Earle going after Tom DeLay et al.

Dark Blue Tennessee
Hey there Swifties! I'm Dark Blue Tennessee. First, I want to thank anyone who's reading this for visiting my page and going out of their way to do that. :)
I'm at a beautiful age of 15. I love it and Taylor's song Fifteen is my anthem right now. In my mind, I have kind of a careless and free spirit. All though, around people, I'm really quiet because that's just me and I like it that way. If I'm really close to you though, I talk to you a lot. Songwriting helps me sort out my emotions and my feelings and write down the words I didn't say to someone that day, because as I said, I'm quiet. I'm obsessed with glitter and sparkles and my guitar and Disney and, thanks to Taylor, sundresses.
The first song I ever heard from Taylor was in 2006 called Teardrops On My Guitar, and that was also the first music video of hers I watched. The song came on the radio and I fell in love with it instantly. I have continued to love her music ever since, and along the way I've also fell in love with her character and personality. She is the sweetest person ever. I've been to 2 of Taylor's concerts. My first one was a surprise birthday gift for my 13th birthday in 2011 from my parents. The concert was for the Speak Now World Tour in Raleigh, North Carolina and I had lower level seats. It was an amazing first concert. Taylor always manages to put on a great show. My next concert was for The RED Tour in Charlottesville, Virginia and I had Pit tickets for that show. It was an incredible experience. Both concerts were two of the best nights of my life.
~ Dark Blue Tennessee
Below I'll put some more information and add gifs/photos of Taylor (which I think I'm also obsessed with).
I LOVE Taylor, and I always will
My favorite color is blue (in case you couldn't already tell...)
I was born October 9th. My Zodiac sign is a Libra
My lucky number is 9 (of course)
I'm a brunette and I have brown eyes. My vision is blurry for things a distance away, or also known as near-sighted

Q From William Wall: Why is it that egregious means very foolish or blatant, whereas the formal salutation egregio in Italian is clearly intended as a compliment, as in 'Egregio Signore'?
A It's the result of an odd shift of meaning in sixteenth-century England. Originally, something or someone egregious was remarkable in a good sense — distinguished, eminent or renowned — much as is implied in the Italian form of address. Both languages have taken it from Latin egregius, which actually means "standing out from the herd" (greg is an inflected form of grex, a herd or flock).
But then — only 50 years after it first appeared in English — the word started to be used jokingly in reference to somebody who stood out from the crowd in a bad way, notoriously or outrageously. This quickly became established and both senses ran in parallel for some 200 years (which must have been awkward for readers). Christopher Marlowe employed it in the older sense in his Tamburlaine in 1590: "Egregious viceroys of these eastern parts", while in 1611 Shakespeare has Posthumus describe himself in Cymbeline in the newer condemnatory sense: "Egregious murderer".
By the nineteenth century our modern strongly negative meaning of something outstandingly bad or shocking had triumphed.
