. Armed with a voracious appetite and a desire to share scrumptious recipes, Ariel Ceja '05 set out to create a site dedicated to the celebration of good food and wine. Since its launch last May, "Salud! Napa" has logged nearly 60 installments covering everything from pozole (in episode 1) to pasta alla puttanesca (in episode 56), with Ceja's mother and sister, Amelia and Dalia, serving as co-hosts. Ceja studied film at Occidental, has worked as general manager for Ceja Vineyards, and opened Bistro Sabor, a small eatery in Napa.

Veronica Pinkham '12's documentary short—a look into the lives of competitive female bodybuilders and their rapidly decreasing presence at muscle contests—was created as her senior thesis at Â鶹ÊÓƵ, where she studied in the Media Arts & Culture program. Through the film and accompanying website, she hopes to facilitate a dialogue between members of the bodybuilding subculture on the current issues surrounding women in the sport, as well as provide an opportunity for people to rethink their preconceived ideas of beauty, strength, femininity, and related issues.
