Jay Horton, Willamette Week
“Lujan and Plympton are both masters of sleazy irreverence and their mordant, scatalogical-inflected humour is bracingly amped up in their collaboration. Together, they have produced an unbridled, caustic, grotesquely comic vision of America that feels particularly timely.”
Virginie Sélavy, Sight & Sound
French Reviewers: “A psychedelic thriller on a paranoiac America in the dirty and cool style of Plympton.Crazy and cool”
Les Inrockuptibles
“Bikers, eccentric girls, tattooed mouths – the Maverick of the animation realize a thriller like Tarantino, virulent and ironic. Completely disturbs and full of humor”

Circus Center is internationally recognized for training in circus arts for children and adults. Under Master Lu Yi’s leadership, the Circus Center’s training program has been built into one of the country’s best, training young performers who went on to win places in premiere circuses, circus schools, and touring companies around the world.
Highly respected within the circus industry, Lu Yi’s peers speak highly of his teachings and impact on those who have learned and worked with him.

“Among Master Lu Yi’s numerous contributions to the US circus community, one of the most visible is that he has probably taught everyone in the circus community how to hold a solid handstand – either himself or by one degree of separation,” said Jesse AlFord, incoming President of the American Youth Circus Organization.

In addition to announcing this prestigious award, AYCO is also launching a new branch of the organization, the American Circus Educators Association (ACE). This new branch is focused on supporting American circus educators. ACE is the trusted authority when it comes to all things circus education, such as professional development, safety guidelines, and networking.

“This a very exciting time for the circus community,” said Amy Cohen, Executive Director of AYCO. “With the announcement of the American Circus Educators Association, and the first ever Lifetime Achievement award given to Master Lu Yi, it is clear that the American circus education community is robust and our industry is evolving.”

This year’s award will be presented at the 2014 Circus Educators Conference, which will be held at and co-produced by the National Circus School Montreal (ENC) in Quebec, Canada. The conference runs from August 28th to September 1st and will feature a pre-conference focus group on safety, a variety of keynote speakers, social events, and 60 workshops presented by circus educators from nine different countries. Workshop examples include “Jugglers Anonymous” and “Mental Health in Social Circus”, as well as tours of the nearby Cirque du Soleil Headquarters.

Registration is currently open at americancircuseducators.org/events. For more information, or to arrange interviews and receive high-resolution photos, please contact Becki Cooper at 440-227-8794 or becki@rebeccaadele.com.

Dr. Grandin has become a prominent author and speaker on the subject of autism because “I have read enough to know that there are still many parents, and yes, professionals too, who believe that ‘once autistic, always autistic.’ This dictum has meant sad and sorry lives for many children diagnosed, as I was in early life, as autistic. To these people, it is incomprehensible that the characteristics of autism can be modified and controlled. However, I feel strongly that I am living proof that they can” (from Emergence: Labeled Autistic).

Even though she was considered “weird” in her young school years, she eventually found a mentor, who recognized her interests and abilities. Dr. Grandin later developed her talents into a successful career as a livestock-handling equipment designer, one of very few in the world. She has now designed the facilities in which half the cattle are handled in the United States, consulting for firms such as Burger King, McDonald’s, Swift, and others.

Temple Grandin, Ph.D., is now the most accomplished and well-known adult with autism in the world. Her fascinating life, with all its challenges and successes has been brought to the screen. She has been featured onNPR (National Public Radio), major television programs, such as the BBC special “The Woman Who Thinks Like a Cow”, ABC’s Primetime Live, The Today Show, Larry King Live, 48 Hours and 20/20, and has been written about in many national publications, such as Time magazine, People magazine, Forbes, U.S. News and World Report, and New York Times.. Among numerous other recognitions by media, Bravo Cable did a half-hour show on her life, and she was featured in the best-selling book, Anthropologist from Mars.

Dr. Grandin presently works as a Professor of Animal Science at Colorado State University. She also speaks around the world on both autism and cattle handling. At every Future Horizons conference on autism, the audience rates her presentation as 10+.

Dr. Grandin’s current bestselling book on autism is The Way I See It: A Personal Look at Autism and Asperger’s. She also authored Unwritten Rules of Social Relationships, Animals Make us Human, Animals in Translation, Thinking in Pictures, Emergence: Labeled Autistic and produced several DVDs. All books and DVD’s available through Future Horizons.

Temple Grandin’s work continues to inspire millions, drawing superlative reviews such as these:

“Temple is my hero. She has my vote for the person who has provided the greatest advance in our understanding of autism this century.”

-Dr. Tony Attwood, world renowned expert on autism spectrum disorders.

This year, nearly three million young people will graduate from high schools across the United States. Many will continue their education, while others will begin pursuing careers. In both cases, they will be required to make many of their own decisions which will have financial implications and directly impact on their ability to become independent.

Junior Achievement’s and The Allstate Foundation’s annual Teens and Personal Finance Survey provides a snapshot of teens’ behaviors and attitudes around money management. It examines how teens view the importance of effective spending, saving and budgeting—and their opinions around how well they are executing those tasks. The key findings illustrate a teen population that is more optimistic now than in past years about its financial future, yet faces challenges related to effectively managing its money.

Jack Kosakowski, president and CEO of Junior Achievement, will discuss key findings of the survey along with tips for parents on how to make their teenagers smarter about personal finance.

About the Talent:
Jack Kosakowski, president and CEO of Junior Achievement. Starting as a student in the Junior Achievement program in Toledo, Ohio, he attended the University of Toledo on a Junior Achievement scholarship and has since served in a variety of leadership roles with increasing levels of responsibility over the past 40 years.

Murrow Award from the Radio and Television News Directors Association. He shared the George Foster Peabody Award with his colleagues at ABC News for his reporting on the September 11th attacks.
