Fullerton Art Museum's two new exhibits, showing now through May 13. Artist David Olivant's visual art is featured in "Studio Leitmotifs," inspired by what he describes as "the development of a personal mythology, whose characters seem to exude archetypal significance, but also the searing Dionysian emotional extravagance which always seems to well up from depths of the unconscious mind." "I use the interface between the illusory forms of the two dimensional picture surface and the sculptural forms that interact with it as the fulcrum for exploring the apparent at- tempts of archetypal figures to transcend their status as mental or illusory images," Oli- vant said. "Studio Leitmotifs" is a part of the "Timeless Enchantment" series at the museum. The other is the "Ends and Means" exhibit by artists Dylan Palmer and Colby Bird. The modern works are intended to make the observer consider “consequentialism” as it relates in various forms and materials.

Davis on the prowl for change By STEVEN BROWN Staff Writer Proposition 227, approved in 1998 by 61 percent of California voters, is an English-learning initiative funded by the Community-Based English Tutoring (CBET) commissioned by the California Department of Education (CDE). The initiative appropriates $50 million per year over 10 years for funding of English instruction for individuals pledging to provide personal English tutoring to children in their community.

We were young, full of energy, and having bore witness to the destructive forces that tore our community apart, we wanted to change the direction of the ‘hood. So what did we do? We organized gangs, nonprofits and people with like-minded worldviews to create something that had never been done, a gang truce. A fifteen-city organizational effort involving gang leaders, commu- nity organizations and rappers like Tupac, the then lesser known Snoop Dogg and former members of NWA, as well as people who wanted to see a change from the violence of the 1980s, put together posters, banners, flyers and events that helped put a message of peace out in the commu- nity. Large gangs like the Crips and the Bloods came to park BBQ’s to celebrate the newfound peace. MTV covered many of the events. For the first time it seemed as though urban peace was beginning to take shape. I was truly amazed. Especially being as angry as I was after the Rodney King trial verdict, I was beginning to see some change that I could be a part of.

  • Ski Jumping 101
    SKI JUMPING 101 Ski jumping is a sport for athletes with nerves of steel and a desire to always better themselves. There is no perfect ski jump. Ski jumping is judged and awarded points based on total meters flown and a 60 point style system. An athlete is awarded distance points based on hill size. Each size of hill awards a standard amount of points based on the K point or critical point. The K point on a hill is where the landing hill starts to flatten out from an average of 35°. Example: If an athlete jumps 64 meters on a K-64 meter size hill, he or she receives 60 total distance points and 2.4 points less for any meter less than 64. If the athlete jumps 60.5 or any meter +/- half they will receive 1.2 points for ½ of a meter. Hill markers are looking for where the athlete’s feet land and if in a telemark position with (one foot in front of the other) you split the difference. All Nordic sports use free heel equipment which means the athletes feet are attached to the skis but only at the toe. Notice the picture below. The skis are very large, 145% of the athlete’s body height in CM. The skis are very wide to catch air and help the athlete fly and create lift. The suits are much like a wet suit but are only allowed to let so much air in and out controlled by FIS regulations. Young athletes starting out will use alpine equipment until the coach transitions them onto Nordic skis with leather boots and large Nordic skis and a ski jumping suit.

Fischer According to research on sports media, reporters have both gender and racial biases. Women are marginalized in the media (Billings, Halone, & Denham, 2002), and athletes are stereotyped based on race (Banet-Weiser, 1999). These depictions affect the public’s image of athletics and particular athletes. White males are offered both more media attention and more salient coverage (Banet-Weiser, 1999; Billings, Halone, & Denham, 2002). Women are characterized for non-task behaviors (Billings, Halone, & Denham, 2002), and minority groups’ behaviors are generalized (Banet-Weiser, 1999).
