The Conference will also celebrate and highlight the California Department of Education (CDE) and Superintendent Torlakson's recent launch of the new, "Team California for Healthy Kids," (TCHK) Initiative, providing in-depth programming, plenary sessions, and speakers such as Dr. Antronette "Toni" Yancey, Professor in the Department of Health Services, UCLA School of Public Health, and Co-Director of the UCLA Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Equity; Dr. Bonnie Helpren, Professor in the Division of Adolescent Medicine, Department of Pediatrics, University of California, San Francisco, Co-Director of Research for the Adolescent Medicine Fellowship; and Dr. Brian Cole, Project Manager of the UCLA School of Public Health's Health Impact Assessment Project, among others.

48 players. I need to see this. Wonder if the game will be based on the arcade engine, since it's running on PC.

On-topic: I could probably head over to Pasadena to check this out. I mean, we probably won't get this in my broke-as-crap school so I might as well try to see what I'm missing.

"meme school" |
I remember back when my schools used to have DDR during gym.
**INSTANT CHAMPION**
The only time I felt special during a physical activity.

"Rainbows in the Sky" |
I remember getting everyone to download dance with intensity on our school computers and playing with the keyboard. Great middle school memories...
Although I'm anxious about the scoring, surely they can't individually score 48 seperate contestants? That, and I hope those songs aren't all licenses.
