  • Acting in the Academy
    Acting in the Academy There are over 150 BFA and MFA acting programs in the US today, nearly all of which claim to prepare students for theatre careers. Peter Zazzali contends that these curricula represent an ethos that is outdated and limited given today’s shrinking job market for stage actors. Acting in the Academy traces the history of actor training in universities to make the case for a move beyond standard courses in voice and speech, move- ment, or performance, to develop an entrepreneurial model that motivates and encourages students to create their own employment opportunities. This book answers questions such as: • How has the League of Professional Theatre Training Programs shaped actor training in the US? • How have training programs and the acting profession developed in relation to one another? • What impact have these developments had on American acting as an art form? Acting in the Academy calls for a reconceptualization of actor training in the US, and looks to newly empower students of performance with a fresh, original perspective on their professional development. Peter Zazzali is Assistant Professor of Theatre at the University of Kansas.

  • National MPS Society 2011 Annual Report
    annual 2011 report NATIONAL MPS SOCIETY MISSION The National MPS Society exists to find cures for MPS and related diseases. We provide hope and support for affected individuals and their families through research, advocacy and awareness of these devastating diseases. MPS CLASSIFICATIONS Mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS) and related diseases are genetic lysosomal storage diseases caused by the body’s inability to produce specific enzymes. Normally, the body uses enzymes to break down and recycle materials in cells. In individuals with MPS and related diseases, the missing or insufficient enzyme prevents the proper recycling process, resulting in the storage of materials in virtually every cell of the body. As a result, cells do not perform properly and may cause progressive damage throughout the body, including the heart, bones, joints, respiratory system and central nervous system. While the disease may not be apparent at birth, signs and symptoms develop with age as more cells become damaged by the accumulation of cell materials. Syndrome Enzyme Deficiency MPS I Hurler, Scheie, Hurler-Scheie a-L-Iduronidase MPS II Hunter Iduronate sulfatase MPS III A Sanfilippo A Heparan N-sulfatase MPS III B Sanfilippo B a-N-Acetylglucosaminidase MPS III C Sanfilippo C Acetyl CoA: a-glycosaminide acetyltransferase MPS III D Sanfilippo D N-Acetylglucosamine 6-sulfatase MPS IV A Morquio A Galactose 6-sulfatase MPS IV B Morquio B bGalactosidase MPS VI Maroteaux-Lamy N-Acetylgalactosamine 4-sulfatase (arylsulfatase B) MPS VII Sly b-Glucuronidase MPS IX Hyaluronidase ML II/III I-Cell, Pseudo-Hurler N-acetylglucosamine-1-polydystrophy phosphotransferase National MPS Society PO Box 14686 / Durham, NC 27709-4686 t: 877.MPS.1001 / p: 919.806.0101 / f: 919.806.2055 e-mail: [email protected] / web: www.mpssociety.org collaboration 01 WHEN WE THINK ABOUT shows joint commitment to our updates, in addition to mentoring COLLABORATION, the focus goal to cure MPS and related new MPS organizations, provides of this year’s Annual Report, diseases.

DEAR TOPANGA COMMUNITY, We cannot begin to express how grateful we are for all of the support, referrals, and business you have given us over the past 3+ years, since we joined together as a team, and joined Compass! It is because of you that we have become one of the top Real Estate Teams in Topanga! We are especially grateful for the trust so many of you have placed in us. We are honored, and endeavor to earn that trust, every day. To be able to work in the beauty that is Topanga and with members of the Topanga Community is absolutely wonderful! Having both grown up here, Topanga has a special place in our hearts. It means so much to us, to be able to work here, every day, and to be able to help our friends and clients to make their dreams come true and find their place in the world! Topanga embraced Jordan’s Grandma, Connie Wright, as a Realtor, here, and now they have embraced The Wright Way Team, as well. Jordan is the only Third Generation Realtor in Topanga! That legacy is important to us. We work every day to uphold the ethics and integrity of that legacy. Right now, in spite of all the turmoil we are all experiencing, the whole world seems to be moving to Topanga! We know why.
