  • Anna David Nic Sheff One Sheet Copy
    vid Anna Da & Nic Sheff Anna David and Nic Sheff present people with a new outlook on addiction. They're not preaching abstinence for all: they just want to show people how the choices they made impacted their lives and how addiction starts, develops and ends. Nic Sheff is the author of the bestselling memoirs Tweak, We All Fall Down, and the upcoming novel, Schizo (due out Winter 2013). He has appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show, CNN with Sanjay Gupta, ABC with Diane Sawyer, The Today Show, and Fresh Air with Terry Gross. His articles have been published in Newsweek, Nerve, Wired, The San Francisco Chronicle, The Fix and is currently a writer on AMC's The Killing. He has been sober over five years and lives with his wife and two hound dogs in Los Angeles, CA. In over 12 years of sobriety, Anna David has published four books that have explored addiction: the novels Party Girl (Harper, 2007) and Bought (Harper, 2009) and the non-fiction books Reality Matters (Harper, 2010) and Falling for Me (Harper, 2011). Her recently released biography on Tom Sizemore, By Some Miracle I Made It Out of There (Simon & Schuster, 2013), also focuses heavily on the actor’s addiction. For two years, David was the Executive Editor for the addiction and recovery site The Fix and she’s covered addiction and recovery exhaustively in her articles for, among other publications, The New York Times, The LA Times, Details, Women’s Health, The New York Post, Premiere, People, Us Weekly, Maxim, Vanity Fair, Cosmo, Redbook, Self, Stuff, TV Guide, Teen Vogue, Variety, The Daily Beast, The Huffington Post, Buzzfeed and Salon.

  • Annual Address to the USC Faculty, February 13-14, 2013
    Annual Address to the USC Faculty February 13 & 14, 2013 C. L. Max Nikias President This annual address is, for me, an opportunity to enjoy time with longtime colleagues and friends in the professoriate. This year, it is a special opportunity to report to you on the progress being made by this ambitious academic community. For the faculty of USC, this continues to be our moment. It is in times such as these—moments of disruption—in which we see the most promising developments. These are moments of new light, a re-illumination of the human mind and spirit. In the Late Middle Ages, Petrarch ignited one moment of re-illumination, when the first wave of humanists took accumulated wisdom and the classics, and used them to spark a new intellectual encounter, and to brighten our understanding of humanity’s place in the cosmos. Francis Bacon would later fashion modern notions of rigorous, empirical inquiry. In his monumental book the Novum Organum, human inquiry smashed through ancient barriers, opening vast new worlds for exploration. Our own world is opening up, in the 21st century, in no less dramatic ways. Within our academic community, among you, we have those who live in the spirit of Petrarch, in the lineage of Francis Bacon, here now within this latest age of discovery. This is the Age of the Pacific—and yes, this is the century of biology and medicine. In this era, human inquiry is being informed by the extraordinary convergence of Pacific Rim cultures, by the rich blending of a new world into the existing one.

  • Julia Sweeney Bio, 2018
    Julia Sweeney bio, 2018 Julia Sweeney is an actress, comedian, writer and film director. She is 58 years old and was born in the U.S. in Spokane, Washington. She’s appeared on numerous film and television shows. She’s best known for her original comedic monologues and stand up. Julia spent four and a half years on the sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live from 1990 to 1994. Her most popular recurring character was Pat, an androgynous person who caused people to become confused. She also wrote and starred in a film about Pat entitled It’s Pat! This film had a dismal reception at the box office and was universally panned by critics. That was basically the end of Pat, although the character still seems to be part of American popular culture. After Julia left Saturday Night Live, she became most well known as a monologist. Her first one-person show was entitled God Said Ha! which was about a terrible year when she and her brother were both diagnosed with cancer. This show was a tremendous success; it played in several U.S. cities and on Broadway at the Lyceum Theater in 1997. The audio of the show was nominated for a Grammy. Quentin Tarantino produced a film version of the show, which Julia directed. It still plays on cable. Julia’s second monologue was entitled In the Family Way. It chronicled Julia’s quest to become a mother and her eventual adoption of a child as a single person. She did theater runs of this show in New York off-Broadway and in Los Angeles.
