You didn't qualify "calarts.edu" so it got expanded, most likely into
something like "calarts.edu.calarts.edu.". If you want to specify the
zone name explicitly, qualify it: "calarts.edu." and not
"calarts.edu".

``And indeed people sometimes speak of man's "bestial" cruelty, but
this is very unfair and insulting to the beasts: a beast can never be
so cruel as a man, so ingeniously, so artistically cruel.''
(Ivan Karamazov, in Dostoyevsky's 'The Brothers Karamazov')
