Woman robbed at gunpoint while waiting for bus in Wauwatosa
Robber 'leisurely' jogged off after the crime, she reports
While waiting for a bus in the 9200 block of West Congress Street at 1:40 p.m. Dec. 6, a man in shorts walked up to a woman while pulling his hooded sweat shirt over his face, reached into his pocket and pulled out a large black revolver, according to a Wauwatosa Police Report.
Also from the report:
The man seemed nervous, shaking the gun pointed at the woman's chest.
"Give me your phone," he demanded, she told officers.
The Milwaukee woman hastily complied, and the robber jogged off. The woman said he came from an apartment complex near the bus stop, but went in a different direction.
Police combed the area for him, turning up no suspects. The woman said the man had a quarter-inch birthmark right below his nose. He's also described as being 18 or 19, about 5-foot-5, weighing between 150 and 160 pounds and having a medium-brown complexion.

Giving Workers More Say on the Job Reduces Risk for DiabetesPosted: Wednesday, August 29, 2012
A certain amount of stress can be positive, but excessive workplace worries such as having little or no control over what you do on the job is a big factor in whether you develop diabetes, especially if you're a woman, according to a recent Canadian study.
Dr. Richard Glazier, one of the Toronto researchers who conducted the study, said "How men and women react to stress is not totally clear, but it's clear that in the work environment, stress can have an impact on health."
With diabetes a growing public health concern, the researchers at the University of Toronto examined the relationships between the "psychosocial" work environment and the incidence of diabetes among people between ages 35 and 60 who weren't self-employed. They note that there has been a large amount of work examining the relationship between the psychosocial work environment and high blood pressure and heart disease, but few studies examining work stress and the risk of diabetes risk.
The Toronto-led study, was based on data on 7,443 people taken from the 2000-01 Canadian Community Health Survey and linked to statistics of the number of doctor visits and hospital admissions. Those individuals never had diabetes, were not self-employed and had worked more than 10 hours a week for more than 20 weeks over a year.
Glazier said the study finding -- that low levels of job control were associated with an increased risk of diabetes among women, but not among men -- is consistent with the only other population-based study of this type, undertaken in Sweden.
Although it wasn't determined why women are more at risk of diabetes because of workplace stress -- a subject for follow-up research -- there are some theories.
Glazier said women and men tend to react differently to stress — physiologically and behaviorally — and the type of jobs they do may also play a role. Women have a different hormonal makeup than men, may tend to turn to unhealthy habits like eating so-called comfort foods containing fat and sugar, and generally have less physical jobs.
Glazier noted that "The mind and body are very connected, and the body releases stress hormones like epinephrine and cortisol." "These can help ward off threats, but when released constantly, they take a toll on the body and they really affect how the body handles sugars and fat, and can lead toward the development of obesity and type 2 diabetes."
The Toronto-led study took four health-behavior measures into account:
The researchers then examined the relationship between those variables and the probability of diabetes over the nine-year follow-up period, including adjusting for each worker's body mass index (BMI) and health behaviors.
One odd finding was that contrary to the researchers' hypothesis that getting high levels of support in the workplace would help reduce the risk of diabetes, Glazier said the research found women getting such help were still at increased risk of diabetes -- while men weren't.
"The literature suggests the combination of a lot of work stress and poor social support is really bad for you ... we were very surprised when we found low social support at work was good for you," said Glazier.
"We don't know why being unsupported by your supervisor is good for you. We only measured these things at baseline -- starting in 2001 and followed for nine years. Maybe those people left those [more stressful] jobs and got better jobs -- which would be another part of research that would need to be done."
While there are a lot of questions still to be answered, the researchers urged employers to re-examine the amount of control they give employees over their jobs -- in other words, rethink the idea that micromanaging is effective and good for workers. Glazier said studies have shown that workers who have more autonomy and control over their jobs have more job satisfaction, "and less stress and more productivity."

I am a palm reader and tarot card reader. Among other things.
Palm reading has been very reliable to me but I do concede to the idea and fact that people can just lie straight to my face and say what I tell them is spot on. I can tell what kind of person some one is by looking at their palm (knobby fingers are a nosy persons fingers, short fingers are short tempered people who will work quickly but messily, long fingers are patient people but most often are to laid back and unreliable). Again with tarot cards I can only tell you what I see and how I connect the cards meanings together and it's possible for some one to lie to me or read more into it than I am.

Sunbury Hub Leader speaks about CAS
Latest news from the NoE
With support from the DfE CAS are implementing a programme of locally driven support for teachers: 'The Network of Excellence for the Teaching of Computer Science' (NoE).
Get the latest news about the NoE here
Latest News
- New Countdown to Computing project: we are recruiting!
- Microsoft and CAS form ground-breaking partnership
- Digital Schoolhouse - London expansion
- Hour of Code
- CAS supports Cyber Security Challenge Schools Programme
The New Curriculum
The ICT curriculum, now called 'Computing', has been reformed. It now includes a clearly-articulated strand of computer science (including programming) as the underlying subject discipline, alongside the use and application of digital technology. These changes represent a qualitative shift in the subject, not an incremental change.
CAS welcomes the change and believes it is of huge educational and economic importance for all students. [Read more ...]

The Network of Excellence
CAS are thrilled that the DfE have supported the application made by CAS/BCS to continue and expand the Network of Teaching Excellence in Computer Science (NoE). The heart of the programme is to build a high-quality, sustainable CPD infrastructure at low cost. This will be achieved by nurturing long-term, bottom-up collaboration between employers, universities, professional bodies, schools and teachers.
Our goals are to:
- Recruit and train 600 CAS Master Teachers (primary and secondary)
- Harness university expertise to lead on training and development of the CAS Master teachers
- Maintain comprehensive set of classroom resources for all key stages
- Enhance professional status for all Heads of Computing in schools
School Infrastructure
School ICT Infrastructure and how it is managed can be one the biggest impediments in the implementation of Computer Science education. The needs of teachers and learners and the requirements imposed on network managers, whether in-house or outsourced, can be a source of conflict. The sometimes apparently diametrically opposing position of the service provider and their end users has always been there and it applies to the teaching of other subjects not just Computer Science or ICT.
Microsoft and CAS form ground-breaking partnership
In association with:
8th April 2014: With the new Computing curriculum coming into force across UK primary and secondary schools in September, Microsoft and Computing At School (CAS) are joining forces to help teachers inspire a new generation of young people. Backed by a £334,000 investment from Microsoft, CAS is holding a series of 'Back to School' training sessions to show teachers how they can take the complexity of Coding and Computer Science and make it engaging to the touch screen generation.
"How do you explain an algorithm to a class of 6 year olds and make it fun? We have a real opportunity here to excite and inspire the next generation of games developers if we get this right. But we need to move fast to bring the curriculum to life and grab the interest of kids in that very first term." (Claire Lotriet, ICT Coordinator, Henwick Primary School)
The 'Countdown to Computing' programme will see Microsoft and CAS create two training courses for teachers; one for primary and one for secondary, together with supporting classroom resources that teachers can use in their first term. Using the CAS hubs, experts including the CAS master teachers will deliver face-face training across the country with 2,500 local events. There will also be more flexible training options via Skype so that all teachers can make the most of the training and resources available.

The CAS Newsletter
Download the latest issue of our newsletter here. The newsletter is produced once a term and is packed with articles and ideas for teaching computer science in the classroom.
This issue takes a look at the idea of Computational Thinking. Com-putational thinking is something children do, not computers. Indeed, many activities that develop computational thought don't need a computer at all. This influential term helps stress the educational processes we are engaged in. Developing learning and thinking skills lies be-hind our view that all children need exposure to such ideas.
There is something of interest to all CAS members and the wider teaching community. Resources and ideas shared by teachers, both primary and secondary. There is also a section on the Network of Excellence for those new to CAS who aren't familiar with current developments.

Barefoot Computing
A project to help introduce the new computing curriculum into primary schools in England is being launched by BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT in partnership with Computing at School (CAS), funded by the Department for Education (DfE).
Known as Barefoot Computing, the project aims to equip primary school teachers with the basic knowledge and confidence needed to begin the journey towards becoming an excellent computing teacher. [Read more ...]
Primary Guidance
CAS, in association with Naace and other partners are delighted to publish this guide for primary school teachers. The guide explains how primary teachers can get started with the new computing curriculum and provides many pointers to excellent resources and ideas for building an innovative and exciting curriculum.
Don't be daunted by the changes in the move from ICT to Computing. Rather, see this as an opportunity to develop your own knowledge about computing and to learn to program, if you've never had the chance before. Although this might sound like hard work, it's actually great fun. You'll find that you make better use of the technology you have at home and in school, and also that you start to think a bit differently, looking at systems and problems in the same way a computer scientist does.
"I think the primary guidance is a fantastic document that will enable primary teachers to gain a better understanding of the new curriculum and I particularly love the section on assessment" (Deborah Ball, Dosthill Primary School)
From our partners
Computing At School are delighted to partner with Apps For Good.
Apps for Good aims to build the next generation of problem solvers and digital makers. They partner with educators in schools and learning centres to deliver a course to young people 10-18 years of age. They provide the course content, training and connections to their Tech Expert volunteers, and then let teachers do what they are best at - inspiring and guiding young people.
The programme equips students to research, design and make digital products and take them to market. It "ticks the box" of the new computing curriculum but does much more. Students work together in teams to determine the issues they want to tackle and how best to solve them using social, mobile and web apps. With a focus on solving real issues that matter to young people and their communities, students learn about the full software product development process in a hands-on way.The result is students who are creators not just consumers of technology and they have the real life entrepreneurship skills to make their ideas a reality.
Apply to become an Education Partner now: www.appsforgood.org.
Code.org is a non profit organisation whose aim is to demystify that coding is only for geeks, it is accessible for all! Having run a hugely successful campaign in the US last year they are now promoting a UK version in march 2014.
Although the Uk Hour of Code has now happened the materials and resources are still available for all schools to use.
To help schools and teachers engage with the hour of code the organisers have brought together many tutorials for all levels with the most basic one being the first, which teaches students the basics of computer programming in just sixty minutes, through very simple and fun tutorial where Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and Microsoft's Bill Gates team up to encourage learners to program their very own "Angry Birds".
CAS welcome this initiative and are pleased to support the Hour of Code in UK schools.

Report: Greg Jamison on verge of announcing purchase of Coyotes
The news couldn't get much better for hockey fans around the country Sunday, as the league and players association tentatively agreed on a new 10-year deal that would essentially end the 113-day lockout.
The NHL is current proposing a 48 or 50-game season in 2013, but fans in the Valley might have more reason to rejoice than most.
Reporter John Shannon of Sportsnet tweeted this out shortly after an agreement was announced between the NHL and NHLPA:
On heels of the tentative CBA deal, good news from Phoenix...the Jamison Group is on verge of announcing purchase of Coyotes from NHL.— John Shannon (@JSportsnet) January 6, 2013
The news comes a little over a month after Glendale officials approved a new 20-year lease agreement with the Coyotes to stay in Jobing.com Arena.
Jamison formerly served as the CEO and president of the San Jose Sharks before forming a group to buy the Coyotes.
Phoenix has been run by the NHL since filing for bankruptcy in the fall of 2009.

|Random Harmonic Functions in Growth Spaces and Bloch-type Spaces
Let $h^\infty_v(\mathbf D)$ and $h^\infty_v(\mathbf B)$ be the spaces of harmonic functions in the unit disk and multi-dimensional unit ball which admit a two-sided radial majorant $v(r)$. We consider functions $v $ that fulfill a doubling condition. In the two-dimensional case let $u (re^{i\theta},\xi) = \sum_{j=0}^\infty (a_{j0} \xi_{j0} r^j \cos j\theta +a_{j1} \xi_{j1} r^j \sin j\theta)$ where $\xi =\{\xi_{ji}\}$ is a sequence of random subnormal variables and $a_{ji}$ are real; in higher dimensions we consider series of spherical harmonics. We will obtain conditions on the coefficients $a_{ji} $ which imply that $u$ is in $h^\infty_v(\mathbf B)$ almost surely. Our estimate improves previous results by Bennett, Stegenga and Timoney, and we prove that the estimate is sharp. The results for growth spaces can easily be applied to Bloch-type spaces, and we obtain a similar characterization for these spaces, which generalizes results by Anderson, Clunie and Pommerenke and by Guo and Liu.

We study the image of the model subspace $K_\theta$ under the composition operator $C_\varphi$, where $\varphi$ and $\theta$ are inner functions, and find the smallest model subspace which contains the linear manifold $C_\varphi K_\theta$. Then we characterize the case when $C_\varphi$ maps $K_\theta$ into itself. This case leads to the study of the inner functions $\varphi$ and $\psi$ such that the composition $\psi\circ\varphi$ is a divisor of $\psi$ in the family of inner functions.

|Boundedness of Calderón-Zygmund Operators on Non-homogeneous Metric Measure Spaces
Let $({\mathcal X}, d, \mu)$ be a separable metric measure space satisfying the known upper doubling condition, the geometrical doubling condition, and the non-atomic condition that $\mu(\{x\})=0$ for all $x\in{\mathcal X}$. In this paper, we show that the boundedness of a Calderón-Zygmund operator $T$ on $L^2(\mu)$ is equivalent to that of $T$ on $L^p(\mu)$ for some $p\in (1, \infty)$, and that of $T$ from $L^1(\mu)$ to $L^{1,\,\infty}(\mu).$ As an application, we prove that if $T$ is a Calderón-Zygmund operator bounded on $L^2(\mu)$, then its maximal operator is bounded on $L^p(\mu)$ for all $p\in (1, \infty)$ and from the space of all complex-valued Borel measures on ${\mathcal X}$ to $L^{1,\,\infty}(\mu)$. All these results generalize the corresponding results of Nazarov et al. on metric spaces with measures satisfying the so-called polynomial growth condition.

|A Generalized Poisson Transform of an $L^{p}$-Function over the Shilov Boundary of the $n$-Dimensional Lie Ball
|A Generalized Poisson Transform of an $L^{p}$-Function over the Shilov Boundary of the $n$-Dimensional Lie Ball
Let $\mathcal{D}$ be the $n$-dimensional Lie ball and let $\mathbf{B}(S)$ be the space of hyperfunctions on the Shilov boundary $S$ of $\mathcal{D}$. The aim of this paper is to give a necessary and sufficient condition on the generalized Poisson transform $P_{l,\lambda}f$ of an element $f$ in the space $\mathbf{B}(S)$ for $f$ to be in $ L^{p}(S)$, $1 > p > \infty.$ Namely, if $F$ is the Poisson transform of some $f\in \mathbf{B}(S)$ (i.e., $F=P_{l,\lambda}f$), then for any $l\in \mathbb{Z}$ and $\lambda\in \mathbb{C}$ such that $\mathcal{R}e[i\lambda] > \frac{n}{2}-1$, we show that $f\in L^{p}(S)$ if and only if $f$ satisfies the growth condition $$ \|F\|_{\lambda,p}=\sup_{0\leq r < 1}(1-r^{2})^{\mathcal{R}e[i\lambda]-\frac{n}{2}+l}\Big[\int_{S}|F(ru)|^{p}du \Big]^{\frac{1}{p}} < +\infty. $$

|A Fractal Function Related to the John-Nirenberg Inequality for $Q_{\alpha}({\mathbb R^n})$
A borderline case function $f$ for $ Q_{\alpha}({\mathbb R^n})$ spaces is defined as a Haar wavelet decomposition, with the coefficients depending on a fixed parameter $\beta>0$. On its support $I_0=[0, 1]^n$, $f(x)$ can be expressed by the binary expansions of the coordinates of $x$. In particular, $f=f_{\beta}\in Q_{\alpha}({\mathbb R^n})$ if and only if $\alpha<\beta<\frac{n}{2}$, while for $\beta=\alpha$, it was shown by Yue and Dafni that $f$ satisfies a John--Nirenberg inequality for $ Q_{\alpha}({\mathbb R^n})$. When $\beta\neq 1$, $f$ is a self-affine function. It is continuous almost everywhere and discontinuous at all dyadic points inside $I_0$. In addition, it is not monotone along any coordinate direction in any small cube. When the parameter $\beta\in (0, 1)$, $f$ is onto from $I_0$ to $[-\frac{1}{1-2^{-\beta}}, \frac{1}{1-2^{-\beta}}]$, and the graph of $f$ has a non-integer fractal dimension $n+1-\beta$.

|Multiplicative Isometries and Isometric Zero-Divisors
For some Banach spaces of analytic functions in the unit disk (weighted Bergman spaces, Bloch space, Dirichlet-type spaces), the isometric pointwise multipliers are found to be unimodular constants. As a consequence, it is shown that none of those spaces have isometric zero-divisors. Isometric coefficient multipliers are also investigated.

|Reducibility in AR(K), CR(K), and A(K)
Let $K$ denote a compact real symmetric subset of $\mathbb{C}$ and let $A_{\mathbb R}(K)$ denote the real Banach algebra of all real symmetric continuous functions on $K$ that are analytic in the interior $K^\circ$ of $K$, endowed with the supremum norm. We characterize all unimodular pairs $(f,g)$ in $A_{\mathbb R}(K)^2$ which are reducible. In addition, for an arbitrary compact $K$ in $\mathbb C$, we give a new proof (not relying on Banach algebra theory or elementary stable rank techniques) of the fact that the Bass stable rank of $A(K)$ is $1$. Finally, we also characterize all compact real symmetric sets $K$ such that $A_{\mathbb R}(K)$, respectively $C_{\mathbb R}(K)$, has Bass stable rank $1$.

|Subspaces of de~Branges Spaces Generated by Majorants
For a given de~Branges space $\mc H(E)$ we investigate de~Branges subspaces defined in terms of majorants on the real axis. If $\omega$ is a nonnegative function on $\mathbb R$, we consider the subspace \[ \mc R_\omega(E)=\clos_{\mc H(E)} \big\{F\in\mc H(E): \text{ there exists } C>0: |E^{-1} F|\leq C\omega \mbox{ on }{\mathbb R}\big\} . \] We show that $\mc R_\omega(E)$ is a de~Branges subspace and describe all subspaces of this form. Moreover, we give a criterion for the existence of positive minimal majorants.

|Karamata Renewed and Local Limit Results
Connections between behaviour of real analytic functions (with no negative Maclaurin series coefficients and radius of convergence one) on the open unit interval, and to a lesser extent on arcs of the unit circle, are explored, beginning with Karamata's approach. We develop conditions under which the asymptotics of the coefficients are related to the values of the function near $1$; specifically, $a(n)\sim f(1-1/n)/ \alpha n$ (for some positive constant $\alpha$), where $f(t)=\sum a(n)t^n$. In particular, if $F=\sum c(n) t^n$ where $c(n) \geq 0$ and $\sum c(n)=1$, then $f$ defined as $(1-F)^{-1}$ (the renewal or Green's function for $F$) satisfies this condition if $F'$ does (and a minor additional condition is satisfied). In come cases, we can show that the absolute sum of the differences of consecutive Maclaurin coefficients converges. We also investigate situations in which less precise asymptotics are available.

|Admissible Majorants for Model Subspaces of $H^2$, Part I: Slow Winding of the Generating Inner Function
|Admissible Majorants for Model Subspaces of $H^2$, Part I: Slow Winding of the Generating Inner Function
A model subspace $K_\Theta$ of the Hardy space $H^2 = H^2 (\mathbb{C}_+)$ for the upper half plane $\mathbb{C}_+$ is $H^2(\mathbb{C}_+) \ominus \Theta H^2(\mathbb{C}_+)$ where $\Theta$ is an inner function in $\mathbb{C}_+$. A function $\omega \colon \mathbb{R}\mapsto[0,\infty)$ is called {\it an admissible majorant\/} for $K_\Theta$ if there exists an $f \in K_\Theta$, $f \not\equiv 0$, $|f(x)|\leq \omega(x)$ almost everywhere on $\mathbb{R}$. For some (mainly meromorphic) $\Theta$'s some parts of $\Adm\Theta$ (the set of all admissible majorants for $K_\Theta$) are explicitly described. These descriptions depend on the rate of growth of $\arg \Theta$ along $\mathbb{R}$. This paper is about slowly growing arguments (slower than $x$). Our results exhibit the dependence of $\Adm B$ on the geometry of the zeros of the Blaschke product $B$. A complete description of $\Adm B$ is obtained for $B$'s with purely imaginary (``vertical'') zeros. We show that in this case a unique minimal admissible majorant exists.

|Admissible Majorants for Model Subspaces of $H^2$, Part II: Fast Winding of the Generating Inner Function
|Admissible Majorants for Model Subspaces of $H^2$, Part II: Fast Winding of the Generating Inner Function
This paper is a continuation of \cite{HM02I}. We consider the model subspaces $K_\Theta=H^2\ominus\Theta H^2$ of the Hardy space $H^2$ generated by an inner function $\Theta$ in the upper half plane. Our main object is the class of admissible majorants for $K_\Theta$, denoted by $\Adm \Theta$ and consisting of all functions $\omega$ defined on $\mathbb{R}$ such that there exists an $f \ne 0$, $f \in K_\Theta$ satisfying $|f(x)|\leq\omega(x)$ almost everywhere on $\mathbb{R}$. Firstly, using some simple Hilbert transform techniques, we obtain a general multiplier theorem applicable to any $K_\Theta$ generated by a meromorphic inner function. In contrast with \cite{HM02I}, we consider the generating functions $\Theta$ such that the unit vector $\Theta(x)$ winds up fast as $x$ grows from $-\infty$ to $\infty$. In particular, we consider $\Theta=B$ where $B$ is a Blaschke product with ``horizontal'' zeros, {\it i.e.}, almost uniformly distributed in a strip parallel to and separated from $\mathbb{R}$. It is shown, among other things, that for any such $B$, any even $\omega$ decreasing on $(0,\infty)$ with a finite logarithmic integral is in $\Adm B$ (unlike the ``vertical'' case treated in \cite{HM02I}), thus generalizing (with a new proof) a classical result related to $\Adm\exp(i\sigma z)$, $\sigma>0$. Some oscillating $\omega$'s in $\Adm B$ are also described. Our theme is related to the Beurling-Malliavin multiplier theorem devoted to $\Adm\exp(i\sigma z)$, $\sigma>0$, and to de~Branges' space $\mathcal{H}(E)$.

|More Eventual Positivity for Analytic Functions
Eventual positivity problems for real convergent Maclaurin series lead to density questions for sets of harmonic functions. These are solved for large classes of series, and in so doing, asymptotic estimates are obtained for the values of the series near the radius of convergence and for the coefficients of convolution powers.

|Automorphic Orthogonal and Extremal Polynomials
It is well known that many polynomials which solve extremal problems on a single interval as the Chebyshev or the Bernstein-Szeg\"o polynomials can be represented by trigonometric functions and their inverses. On two intervals one has elliptic instead of trigonometric functions. In this paper we show that the counterparts of the Chebyshev and Bernstein-Szeg\"o polynomials for several intervals can be represented with the help of automorphic functions, so-called Schottky-Burnside functions. Based on this representation and using the Schottky-Burnside automorphic functions as a tool several extremal properties of such polynomials as orthogonality properties, extremal properties with respect to the maximum norm, behaviour of zeros and recurrence coefficients {\it etc.} are derived.

|Generalized Factorization in Hardy Spaces and the Commutant of Toeplitz Operators
Every classical inner function $\varphi$ in the unit disk gives rise to a certain factorization of functions in Hardy spaces. This factorization, which we call the generalized Riesz factorization, coincides with the classical Riesz factorization when $\varphi(z)=z$. In this paper we prove several results about the generalized Riesz factorization, and we apply this factorization theory to obtain a new description of the commutant of analytic Toeplitz operators with inner symbols on a Hardy space. We also discuss several related issues in the context of the Bergman space.

|Approximation on Closed Sets by Analytic or Meromorphic Solutions of Elliptic Equations and Applications
Given a homogeneous elliptic partial differential operator $L$ with constant complex coefficients and a class of functions (jet-distributions) which are defined on a (relatively) closed subset of a domain $\Omega$ in $\mathbf{R}^n$ and which belong locally to a Banach space $V$, we consider the problem of approximating in the norm of $V$ the functions in this class by ``analytic'' and ``meromorphic'' solutions of the equation $Lu=0$. We establish new Roth, Arakelyan (including tangential) and Carleman type theorems for a large class of Banach spaces $V$ and operators $L$. Important applications to boundary value problems of solutions of homogeneous elliptic partial differential equations are obtained, including the solution of a generalized Dirichlet problem.

An Occupy protester sits at the McPherson Square Occupy encampment in Washington, DC, on January 30, 2012.
Occupy protesters chanting "let us sleep so we can dream" set up a large, blue tarp with the words "tent of dreams" in the nation's capital as a noon deadline to end camping at some of the movement's last remaining large encampments passed.
The National Park Service said in a flier released Friday that it would begin enforcing regulations prohibiting camping and the use of temporary structures for camping at McPherson Square and Freedom Plaza. Individual violators may be subject to arrest and their property subject to seizure as evidence, the flier said.
Washington Post live-blogs Occupy D.C.
Justin Jacoby Smith, a 25-year-old activist with OccupyKSt and member of their media team, said the protesters at McPherson Square had plans for the deadline but noted: "We're still sorting of keeping the specifics under wraps … we like to have surprises when we can."
Still, by noon the blue tarp, also decorated with the words "dream together" and yellow stars and a moon, could be seen in the square via a video livestream. "This is what democracy looks like," protesters chanted.
"Today what we're trying to do is make sure that everyone knows that when you enforce a regulation against sleeping then you can't dream of a better world, either … when you can't sleep, you can't dream," he said. "We're going to make sure that we still have the opportunity to dream and that the people in this demonstration that have no place else to go are kept safe from the criminalization of homelessness that this order effectively creates."
Officers would be on site to monitor the situation and try to get protesters to comply, Carol Johnson, a Park Service spokeswoman, told msnbc.com on Friday. Compliance entails removing all camping materials and leaving one side of all temporary structures open.
"People can be there 24 hours a day, but they can't live there, they can't sleep there," she said.
"We still do back the First Amendment, and it is their right. It is not their right to camp. And ... we would, you know, support them if they came into compliance and they had a vigil and they had tents that were there for logistical or symbolic purposes," she added. "They can occupy as a vigil but not camping."
More than 80 arrests have occurred at the two sites, including for public urination, drunkenness, assault and drug use, she noted.
On Sunday, a protester at one of the camps -- in McPherson Square -- was Tasered and arrested following a confrontation with law enforcement, according to NBCWashington.com. A video of the incident, posted on YouTube, shows the man yelling at officers, "We all know you're coming tomorrow."
Many of the Occupy camps were closed across the country last fall and early winter, and the sites in the nation's capital were two of the bigger outfits remaining.
The Park Service noted that two "compliant" 24-hour First Amendment vigils have been running in Lafayette Park and near the Vietnam Veterans Memorial since the early 1980s. Johnson said they were "very small" vigils and also noted that they were not evicting the Occupy protesters.
But the McPherson Square camp said it was a de facto eviction: "Rather than own up to the fact that they're evicting us, the 'camping ban' allows NPS to pick us off one by one. Death by attrition," read a tweet from the OccupyKSt twitter account.
The action by the Park Service also comes after the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and Subcommittee held a hearing last week about the McPherson Square encampment.
"Late is better than never," Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., chairman of the subcommittee on the District of Columbia, said in a statement after learning of park authorities' notice. "I continue to wonder whether others who are 'camping' in national parks would have been afforded a 100-day grace period before the law was enforced."
Occupy groups across the country continue to assemble and organize protests, with about 400 demonstrators in Oakland arrested late Saturday after authorities thwarted their attempt to take over a vacant convention center for a new camp site. Some protesters broke into City Hall and smashed glass display cases and burned the U.S. and California flags, while others ran into a YMCA to evade police.
At least three officers and one protester were injured. Mayor Jean Quan said the cost to the city related to the Occupy Oakland protests is about $5 million.

APhA, NACDS, NASPA, NCPA File U.S. Supreme Court Legal Brief Challenging Reimbursement Rate Reduction for Medicaid Beneficiaries
Alexandria, Va. - August 5, 2011 -
Pharmacy groups filed a legal brief today with the U.S. Supreme Court supporting the right of pharmacies to challenge Medicaid cuts that violate a federal patient access law. The brief was filed by the American Pharmacists Association (APhA), National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS), National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA), and the National Alliance of State Pharmacy Associations (NASPA) in the case of Douglas v. Independent Living Center of California.
The initial lawsuit—filed by pharmacies and other healthcare providers—argues that a 10 percent Medicaid reimbursement cut in California violates the federal patient access law which provides that Medicaid reimbursement rates must be "sufficient to enlist enough providers so that care and services are available under the plan at least to the extent that such care and services are available to the general population in the geographic area..." The proposed cuts would threaten access to care for Medicaid patients.
Today's joint legal brief filed by the four pharmacy groups further argues that a long line of Supreme Court decisions support the right to challenge state actions that are inconsistent with federal laws, and challenges to inadequate Medicaid reimbursement rates must be allowed if they threaten patient access to pharmacy care.
"APhA is pleased to join with our colleague pharmacy organizations in challenging the actions of states that threaten to deprive patients of access to medications and pharmacists services that they desperately need," said Thomas E. Menighan, BSPharm, MBA, ScD, Executive Vice President and CEO. "While we recognize the budget constraints that states face, these proposed Medicaid cuts will exacerbate our medication use crisis by forcing more pharmacies out of Medicaid and disrupting patient/pharmacist relationships that are critical to effective medication use. The data show that poor medication use leads to higher costs in the form of Emergency Department visits and hospitalizations."
"Patients rely on their local pharmacists for expert medication counseling and advice on controlling healthcare costs, such as through the appropriate use of generic drugs," said NCPA Executive Vice President and CEO B. Douglas Hoey, RPh, MBA. "Independent community pharmacists in particular are often located in underserved rural and urban areas where there may be few, if any, other pharmacy options. These cuts clearly jeopardize pharmacy access for underserved patients and could ultimately increase costs."
"We are deeply troubled about the impact that such a drastic cut in Medicaid pharmacy reimbursement will have on patient access to pharmacy care," said NACDS President and CEO Steven C. Anderson, IOM, CAE. "This short-sighted proposal is not the solution to cutting spending and reducing costs. We have and will continue to urge the state to work with pharmacy and other provider groups to find cost-effective alternatives that do not jeopardize Medicaid beneficiaries' access to healthcare services."
"We share our colleagues' deep concern with Medicaid cuts that will dramatically impact patient access," said NASPA Executive Vice President and CEO Rebecca Snead, RPh. "Arbitrarily implementing reductions in Medicaid reimbursement without consideration of federal law, is a disservice to its beneficiaries who rely and depend on these services. Ultimately, these drastic cuts will put their health and lives at risk."
The Supreme Court will hold a hearing in the case on October 3, and may issue a decision later this year.
The American Pharmacists Association, founded in 1852 as the American Pharmaceutical Association, is a 501 C6 organization, representing more than 62,000 practicing pharmacists, pharmaceutical scientists, student pharmacists, pharmacy technicians and others interested in advancing the profession. APhA, dedicated to helping all pharmacists improve medication use and advance patient care, is the first-established and largest association of pharmacists in the United States.
The National Association of Chain Drug Stores (NACDS) represents traditional drug stores, supermarkets, and mass merchants with pharmacies – from regional chains with four stores to national companies. Chains operate 39,000 pharmacies, and employ more than 2.7 million employees, including 118,000 full-time pharmacists.

2096 S Taylor Rd, Cleveland, OH | Directions 4411841.502159 -81.556158
Lunch: Mon - Sat, 11:30am - 2pm; Dinner: Mon - Sat, 5:30pm - 10pm; Sun, 3pm - 9pm
Neighborhoods: Cleveland Heights
Hit or Miss – We go to this place often. The first time I ordered the dal maharani it was fabulous, with a complex flavor and plenty of spice. Today it seemed spicy enough, but the overall flavor seemed flat. I had a strong urge to ask for salt, soy sauce, anything to help out. My companion's navaratana currry was pretty good, if spiced a bit lightly for me. I liked the sagg gosht and shrimp curry at various times, and most of the time it's spicy enough. But, once when I told the server "medium spicy," I tasted no spice at all and was very disappointed. I'm not Indian, but I grew up in So. Cal, so spice is not as much a novelty for me as for the typical clientele Cafe Tandoor seems to think it has. I am tempted to draw out a spice scale and bring it in every time I go.
Worst Indian Food – We just moved to Cleveland and wanted some good indian food. We read the reviews and decided to go.
Well - It was the worst indian food we have ever had. I have eaten at many indian food places and I am from india. This had to be the worst.
We ordered Paneer Makhani - it was just paneer with tamato paste.
Aloo Zeera had no Zeera or spices
Vegeterian Shahlick was boiled veggis on rice with no flavor or taste.
We spent $50 on food and it was not worth more than $10.00
Worst Restaurant – After reading all the reviews here, I chose to go to this restaurant during my visit to cleveland. Ambience was good. The food was so horrible and too expensive for such a bad quality of the food.
I ordered Malai kofta. They brought the Malai kofta straight from the freezer and added some sause to it. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.
Best Indian Food in the Greater Cleveland Area – I have lived in the Cleveland area for over 30 years, am of Indian descent, and have been to every Indian joint in Ohio more times than I care for. Cafe Tandoor is hands down the best place for Indian food in the Greater Cleveland area. If you want an all you can eat buffet with bland food that cater to the fattest people in America go to Saffron Patch or the like. Cafe Tandoor is a quality place, and everything is ordered a la carte. Order the butter chicken (hot), gobi masala (medium-hot), some onion kulcha, saffron rice, and a decent bottle of wine or simply a salty lassi, and you will not be disappointed.
Best Indian food in Cleveland – I love this place - as has everyone I've ever taken to it. The chicken tikka is my favorite, with the saffron (basmati) rice...fantastic! The presentation of the food is top-notch - dishes come out on a rolling cart, still sizzling from the kitchen, and the plates are heated so that your food stays warm as you serve yourself from the platters. The food is NOT bland, not at all.
Previous negative review in no way has EVER been my experience, although I am not a vegetarian. This can be a romantic restaurant, especially at night when the lights are lowered and the candles are lit. Service has always been fine, and the value is great - that chicken tikka ends up being three meals for me!
World Class Indian Food – This restaurant has won many awards over the years, so I'm surprised to see a negative review. It is the restaurant I visit most often and the restaurant my out of town guests always want to visit. By far the best Indian restaurant in Cleveland, it ranks up there with Indian restaurants I've eaten at in Chicago, New York and London. Do go, you're in for a treat!
Great NonVeg & Dessert – I am surprised that someone has written that this food is not INDIAN!!! Well, being an Indian from Bombay, I have been to so many indian restaurants around this country from NJ to CA to Boston, this has been one of the best ones I've been to. The kababs are just great and so are the chicken appetizers (shashliks), just the way my wife cooks :-) the Rogan Josh is the best I've had till date in the US although I haven't had the great fortune to visit the afghani and mughlai restaurants in NYC or the Khau galli in New Delhi. For dessert there is no second choice when you've the mango icecream with mango slices. its just plain indian taste. PS: Visit these folks if you are not counting your calorie intake.

The SCC Players are a combination of performances, courses, and activities presented for Spokane Community College as part of
the Community Colleges of Spokane and for the community of Spokane. The goal of the club is to build a greater understanding of the
human condition through film and theatre with events, performances, activities, and festivals while directly incorporating SCC
students as the actors, crew members, filmmakers, and all other needed positions to create the activities. The club helps enrich
the students' experiences through theatre and film arts as an avenue of expression, interpretation, and overall personal enrichment.
While the primary goal is to create compelling and enjoyable theatrical and film productions, the club also participates in activities for
communities of various ages and organizations.
If you are a student who is looking to explore
the actor inside you, work backstage (lighting, costuming, make-up, sound design, set design or
other crew activities) to gain confidence, to be a part of unique collaborative productions or
you just want to have fun, joining the SCC Players is for you.
Come join the fun!

Lair Auditorium
Free Admission / PG-13 for Violence
SCC Players will present this seminal play that may be more true today than it was when it was written. Before I Robot,
before The Matrix, and even before Terminator, there was a real threat with Rossum's Universal Robots. Rossum has found a
way of creating living robots who can be used for any manual labor needed within society. The factory is thriving. But,
once Helena, the daughter of the World President arrives and begins to discuss the treatment of the robots, everything
begins to fall apart. The robots rebel and the results will define the future of humanity.

February 22, 2013 at 7:30pm
This year we have drama, comedy, suspense, dance and magic. There was a call for original scenes and then the scenes
are divided between the student directors and rehearsal begins.
We live our lives with many moments that make us who and what we are at each moment. But, there are those moments
where we decide the make changes, take risks and use the moment the best we can. Those are the moments in motion.
Movement and the fluidity of life fill us and when we find our flow we can step forward into the possibilities.
This year, the SCC Players will explore these moments and the many possibilities they bring. These moments may bring
joy or sadness, fear or exhilaration, but each moment creates who we are and it is our choice on how we use the moments.
ld' may bring more than they expect. This story was told between the other two stories and finished at the end.
This year, the directors are: Cassandra Kay Carlson (Kill Me, Dead; Scenes of Life: Living in the Moment and These Shining Lives),
Andy Duncan (These Shining Lives; Kill Me, Deadly, Scenes of Life: The Far Side of Life, Six Character in Search of An Author and
The Dining Room); Mikayla Daniels (These Shining Lives, Scenes of Life: Living in the Moment, Six Characters in Search of An Author
and A Cloud of Victims) Brad Liard (Scenes of Life: Living in the Moment, Six Characters in Search of An Author and A Cloud of Victims),
Matthew Williams (These Shining Lives, Scenes of Life: Living in the Moment, Six Characters in Search of An Author and A Cloud of Victims).
Assistant Choreography from Olivia Hamilton as well as Adam C. Sharp (SCC Theatre and Film Instructor).
For First Night Spokane 2013, the SCC Players presented three original stories inspired by The Twilight Zone and called it
The Unknown Zone.
"We live our days and nights not knowing there is another world, a world where the strange comes real and where the
truth comes where we least expects it. This is The Unknown Zone. Tonight, SCC Players will present three stories that dig
into the unknown zone, a place of mystery and intrigue. Look head, the light is coming and whispers to you. You have just
entered The Unknown Zone."
The Martians Conquer New Years
Three aliens are bored on their Martian planet and decide to go to earth to celebrate New Year's. But, their adventure to
the 'new world' may bring more than they expect. This story was told between the other two stories and finished at the end.
The janitorial worker at the science lab talks to one of the other janitors about the regrets of the past. But, soon learns
that the lab is a time travel experiment. So, the janitor decided to return to the past and speak to the past self to ask
for a raise and promotion. But, upon to the return to the future the once janitor may discover that it is not what was
To the Stars...
Astronauts at the station are investigating a dead planet after they lost a crew who were there before and became missing.
But, soon, one of the missing astronauts from the first mission arrive and start to talk to them. As time progresses, the
current astronauts learn that the survivor may not be what he seems to be.
The SCC Players performed a Readers' Theatre presentation of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven."
The show ran every twenty minutes and was a lot of fun for the actors and children as well as
their parents. There were two casts (one for each hour).
Cast One:
Cast Two:
A secluded island hotel room became the stage for six people to discover their cares, fears and true selves. Sam and Connie
took this important vacation and soon found that the hotel became overrun by terrorists. While trying to stay safe in their
room they are joined by other victims of the raid: the older lovers, Leon and Silvia, Steve, and finally Melody. In this room,
each discovers the truth about him/herself and finds comfort and frustration with one another. But, they must also battle with
the impending danger outside the room and some may need to make a fatal decision which will affect them all.
Written and Directed by Adam C. Sharp
Starring Chris Bastible, Mikayla Daniels, Dixie Sampson, Brad Laird, Marcie Summers, Matthew Williams and Andy Duncan
For spring quarter, the SCC Players produced Six Characters in Search of An Author by Luigi Pirandello, directed by Adam C. Sharp.
This classic play questions identity, reality, and human nature. It was presented in a unique and engulfing manner. An acting company is
rehearsing for their upcoming production, but they are soon interrupted by six characters who desire to know how their own story ends. This SCC
Players production was interactive and kept the audience guessing right up until the shocking end.
This production was unique in that it had several cast members performing at different show times which made each performance
unique. There were also some other subtle changes that occurred differently for each performance. This production included Sophie Boyle,
Cassandra Kay Carlson, Matt Carver, Mikayla Daniels, Andy Duncan, Shawndra Frasier, Jayde Hartman, Brad Laird, Dustin Linder, Ken Martinez,
Clete Nielson, Amanda Reese, Dixie Sampson, Whitney Salomon, Sean Thiesfeld, Chris Bastible, and Matthew Williams.
Scenes of Life is a collection of original submitted scenes. Adam (the Theatre and Film Instructor) then pairs them up with those
whom he's training to be directors and trains them throughout the process. From casting to rehearsals until the final performance, this
production is fun and a great learning experience. This year the theme is "Living in the Moment." As times change, it's important to
understand that we must make the moments count. These scenes follow the idea that we need to make the moments count or learn to make the
moments count. Filled with thought-provoking and humorous scenes, this is a fun-filled night for everyone. This cast includes 25 actors
and eight directors. The directors include: Chris Bastible (These Shining Lives; Kill Me, Deadly; Scenes of Life:
The Far Side of Life; and The Dining Room), Cassandra Kay Carlson (Kill Me, Deadly and These Shining Lives),
Andy Duncan (These Shining Lives; Kill Me, Deadly, Scenes of Life: The Far Side of Life and The Dining
Room); Dixie Sampson (These Shining Lives; Kill Me, Deadly, Scenes of Life: The Far Side of Life and
The Dining Room), Marcie Summers (These Shining Lives; Kill Me, Deadly (Stage Manager), Scenes of Life:
The Far Side of Life and The Dining Room) and choreographers Mikayla Daniels (These Shining Lives) and Amanda
Reese (Kill Me, Deadly and These Shining Lives) as well as Adam C. Sharp (SCC Theatre and Film Instructor).
The SCC Players were proud to be a part of First Night Spokane 2012. They presented three high-energy, interactive folk stories.
One from China ("The Four Dragons"), one from Africa ("Master Man"), and one from England ("More Than a Match"). The stories were
also accompanied with world percussion instruments as well as a crystal flute to help enhance each story's mood and provide sound
effects throughout the stories. They performed three shows that night (9 p.m., 10 p.m., and 11 p.m.). The audience enjoyed the
experience and so did the Players. The Players also had the opportunity to walk in the opening procession carrying large puppet
palm trees and dinosaurs and playing percussion music to enhance the procession.
The SCC Players performed for the Bigfoot Day Care kids for a third year for Read Across America 2012. Again, we began with
some percussion instruments to help them become involved with the event. Then, we played a few rhythm games and had the students
play some of the instruments. After explaining the meaning of the story, Green Eggs and Ham, the Players performed a
Reader's Theatre presentation of it. The students enjoyed the experience and so did the children. This year, the students were
able to go onto the stage and dance a little while the SCC Players played more percussion instruments at the end. We were
proud to present this for them in this wonderful celebration of literacy.
New for 2011: As part of SCC's Halloween Family Fun Night, SCC Players presents GHOST STORIES
in the Lair Audiorium on October 27 from 5 to 8 p.m.
Don't miss this fun family event!
For fall 2011, the SCC Players produced These Shining Lives by Melanie Marnich. These Shining Lives
"chronicles the strength and determination of women considered expendable in their day, exploring their true story and its continued
resonance. Catherine and her friends are dying, it's true; but theirs is a story of survival in its most transcendent sense, as they
refuse to allow the company that stole their health to kill their spirits - or endanger the lives of those who come after them."
The cast included Marcie Summers (The Dining Room, Scenes of Life: The Far Side of Life, A Cloud of Victims
Staged Reading and Stage Manager for Kill Me, Deadly) as Catherine, Andy Duncan (The Dining Room, Scenes of Life:
The Far Side of Life, A Cloud of Victims Staged Reading and Kill Me, Deadly) as her husband, Tom, Dixie Sampson
(The Dining Room, Scenes of Life: The Far Side of Life and Kill, Me Deadly) as Frances, and Cassandra
Carlson (Kill Me, Deadly) as Charlotte. The cast also included newcomers: Jessica Waldon as Pearl; Matthew Williams as Dr.
Dalitsch; Niko Hulse as Dr. Roundtree and Leonard Grossman; Guillermo Mendosa as Judge 2; Chris Jones as Company Doctor, Son, and Radio
Announcer; and Maryam Safarpour as Daughter and Reporter 2. Ken Martinez (1984 (Technical Director), Kill Me, Deadly
(Technical Director) was the Stage Manager.
For spring 2011, the SCC Players are presenting a unique look at the 1940s film noir genre with Kill Me, Deadly by Bill Robens.
In the dark, steamy streets of L.A., we follow gumshoe detective Charlie Nickels as he investigates the case of a stolen diamond and
murders that keep seeming to happen as he gets closer to the mystery. During his investigation, we meet a variety of characters including
the mysterious femme fatale Mona Livingston, the wealthy dowager Lady Clairmont, the heiress Veronica Clairmont, the sniveling Clive
Clairmont, the butler Adrian Wilson, the big-time gangster Bugsy, and many more. All the while, Nickels is assisted by "his girl Friday"
Ida, who seems to have the answers before Charlie knows the questions.
This is a wonderful celebration of humor and nostalgia as we follow the detective story through twists and turns of mystery and intrigue.
The cast includes Chris Bastible (The Dining Room, A Cloud of Victims, Scenes of Life: The Far Side of Life) as Charlie,
Jane Martin (Scenes of Life, 1984, A Cloud of Victims, Scenes of Life: the Far Side of Life)as Mona, Dixie
Sampson (The Dining Room, Scenes of Life: The Far Side of Life) as Lady Clairmont, Andy Duncan (The Dining Room,
A Cloud of Victims, Scenes of Life: the Far Side of Life) as Adrian Wilson, Phillip J. Wibisono (The Dining Room,
Scenes of Life: The Far Side of Life) as Louie, Kevin Laucella (Is This Love?, Scenes of Life: The Far Side of Life)
as Dewy, and many newcomers including Danielle Romero as Ida, TJ Bernett as Clive, Cassandra Kay Carlson as Veronica, Clete Nielson as Bugsy, Brian
K. Little as Fists, Luis Brio as Jaime, Jacob Silva as Jonesy, Cameron Hein as Henry, Shawndra Frazer as Lady Mary, Candel Brown as Hobo, Marzelle
Gower as Librarian, Keith Clark as Shirley, and Yelena Kuropatkina as Laura-Lynn McCallister. The Stage Manager is Marcy Summers (The Dining Room,
A Cloud of Victims, Scenes of Life: The Far Side of Life), and the production is directed by Adam C. Sharp.
Showtimes: May 20, 21, 26, 27 and 28 at 7:30 p.m. and May 22 at 2:00 p.m.
This is a free performance for faculty, staff, and the community.
All performances will take place in the Lair Auditorium.
Winter 2011 marked the SCC Players' second annual one-act festival. It was titled Scenes of Life: The Far Side of Life.
Scripts were submitted by students and faculty and then directed by students and Adam C. Sharp. The submitted scripts were divided
amongst the directors and, after actors were cast, the directors worked on the scenes. This year we saw a varied range of works,
some were serious in tone, while others were more humorous. But, overall, it was a great success for everyone. The directors included
returning student director Will Gilman (Is This Love?, 1984, Scenes of Life) and newcomers Chris Bastible
(The Dining Room and A Cloud of Victims), Dixie Sampson (The Dining Room) and Marci Summers (The
Dining Room and A Cloud of Victims). This year, the directors were as if they were in the stands at a hockey game,
improvising to announce each scene. This was a great celebration of joy and tears.
The SCC Players performed a Reader's Theatre presentation
of Green Eggs and Ham by Dr. Seuss for Read Across America. The Players performed for Bemis
Elementary School, for the Children's Hospital at Sacred Heart, and for the Bigfoot Day Care Center kids at
Spokane Community College. Of course, we began and ended with some good grooves with the use of percussion
instruments. Some of the kids even had a chance to play with us as well. This was a great experience for the
students and for the kids.
This staged reading of A Cloud of Victims was a free event for students, employees, and the public.
The cast included actors from previous SCC Players productions: Chris Bastible (The Dining Room), Andy Duncan
(The Dining Room), Kirsten Jachimiak (The Dining Room), James Johnson (Frankenstein and
Scenes of Life), Jane Martin (1984 and Scenes of Life), Marcella Summers (The
Dining Room), Tony Rogers (Assistant Stage Manager of The Dining Room), and Jennifer Sharp (The
Dining Room) provided the stage directions.
Synopsis: A secluded island hotel room becomes the stage for six people to discover their cares,
fears, and true selves. Sam and Connie took this important vacation and soon found that the hotel became overrun by
terrorists. While trying to stay safe in their room they are joined by other victims of the raid: the older lovers,
Leon and Silvia; Steve; and finally Melody. In this room, each discovers the truth about him/herself and finds comfort
and frustration with one another. But, they must also battle with the impending danger outside the room and some may
need to make a fatal decision which will affect them all.
In the spirit of Thanksgiving, the SCC Players produced the classic play, The Dining Room, by A. R. Gurney.
The Dining Room takes place in the dining room, or many dining rooms over the decades, but follows the dining table.
The scenes intertwine as one begins and the other ends. Some of the scenes are touching while others are lighter in tone, but
each reveals aspects of family interactions and how we use the dining room. This was a heartwarming production where twelve
actors portrayed many characters, young and old, throughout the play. The play was presented with arena style
(in-the-round) seating on the stage of the Lair Auditorium.
Once again, the SCC Players participated in the Halloween Family Fun Night. We had face painting, trick-or-treat coffin, and
some tossing games. The students had fun with the many children who came by. Some adults wanted their face painted as well. This
was a fun and packed event with the face painters constantly working. A great experience for the students and the community.
Big Brother is Watching!
For spring 2010, SCC Players presented the classic cautionary story, George Orwell's 1984.
While times have changed, elements of the Orwellian world have slowly crept into our modern society. This production presented
the serious aspects of the story and communicated them through technology and live theatre. This production of the play took
place in 2084 and the novel was an inspiration to create a society instead of a cautionary tale. The production stayed true to
the story as it is written as a play, but it also explored modern advancements and hinted to future advancements that have
already occurred or might evolve in the future. The audience was separated into loyalists of Big Brother and those who were
followers of Goldstein. Those who followed Goldstein were questioned by the roaming Thought Police. Also, it was a play within
a play as the actors rebelled after the ending of the play and the Thought Police Advisor, Adam Sharp (Film and Theatre
Instructor and Director of the Production) yelled back, but was eventually dragged away.
Be prepared! Follow Big Brother! Do not commit thought crimes!
The SCC Players with DRMA 101 (Introduction to Theatre) students performed a Reader's Theatre version of Dr. Seuss' Green
Eggs and Ham for the March 2 Read Across America Event for the Bigfoot kids at SCC. We played a bit of percussion and some
rhythm games before the reading. The event was fun and the students did a very wonderful job taking part in different sides
of the argument about eating the green eggs and ham. But, as is taught in the book, it's good to try something new because
you never know what you like until you try it.
This production includes scenes written by students and even faculty about various experiences in life.
These scenes focus on relationships and relating to one another. Also, the scenes are directed by
students who have acted in previous productions: Will Gilman (Is This Love?,) Kendra Meredith
(In a Grove), Michael Glatzmaier (In a Grove) and myself, Adam C. Sharp, SCC Theatre
and Film Arts Instructor. The scenes were fun and thought-provoking. This was a great production where
the directors and myself were playing cards and introduced our scenes as if they were stories we were
telling. Overall, the show was successful and a lot of fun.
The HUM 207 Movie Making class hosted the SCC Bigfoot Film Festival. The festival included films from
the class as well as films that were submitted to the festival. Comedy, drama, romance, and
experimental films were featured.
Spokane Community College Players presented In a Grove: Four Japanese Ghost Stories by
Eric Coble, which explores four folk stories in the Japanese tradition but updates them with modern dialogue.
Each story carries important lessons and morals we all can learn (or re-learn) and apply to our own lives. All the
stories take place in one village and over one hundred years. The performance begins as we are greeted by Obosan,
who then guides us through each story as they come to life before our eyes. The colorful characters include
Keizuke, who must keep a secret; the Oni demons, who learn that they may have something to fear from humans; Uta,
a singing monk who is approached with various challenges she must overcome; and Hyroku, the hungry stranger who
is too starved to be scared of anything. Each character must make important decisions, but be warned, each may
not make the right choices and may pay dearly.
This year, the SCC Players painted faces. We were busy the whole night. It was fun seeing the many kids and what they wanted
painted on their faces. We also had a coffin (which we used for Frankenstein the year before) and one of players lied in the
coffin and jumped out at unsuspecting children. The players did a wonderful job working through the whole event and the kids
loved it too. Another great Halloween Family Fun Night.
Is This Love? is a wonderful collection of touching and humorous stories which
explore the elements of relationships. Within the eight scenes we experience a separate story of
love within relationships whether that love entails responsibility, the possibility of a friendship
or even a romance or two.
Adam Sharp's first production at Spokane Community College was Frankenstein by R. N. Sandberg based on
the novel written by Mary Shelley. This was a wonderful production which incorporated live
music, shifting lights and energetic actors and crew members to create a unique experience. The
production began in the Arctic where Frankenstein is found aboard Captain Walton's ship
which is stuck between the ice glaciers. As Frankenstein awakes he begins to relive his
memories and pains of the experiences which led him to the Arctic. We witness the loss of
his mother, his inspiration to create the Creature, and the feelings he experiences after
the Creature was born. Half real and half surreal, the production stays true to the themes
found in the famous novel. Great actors, crew, and audiences!
The SCC Players were asked to present something for the preschool children at SCC to celebrate Read Across America. So, we
began with some percussion (Adam Sharp took out his djembe and the other students played various percussion instruments).
Then, the company took to the stage and presented a Reader's Theatre play version of Lazy Jack adapted from the English folk
tale. The children had fun and the students enjoyed presenting the material to the children. It was great fun!
We were pleased to present the wonderful Readers' Theatre Performance for The Wishing Star Foundation at a local church. The
actors had fun presenting the story for the children and the children definitely enjoyed it.
The SCC Players participated in Family Fun Night for Halloween in the Lair at SCC. We had masks for the children to color and
wear. We didn't know it would be as popular as it was. We ran out of masks and had to make more that night. We also ran out of
string. It was fun and we had wonderful kids come by.

You know what I'm tired of? I'm tired of being told that, because I'm a feminist, I am the reason that men are oppressed, women are lonely, men won't marry women, or vice versa, and that the end of men is nigh.
No! Feminism and feminists have not caused some catastrophic imbalance in the dating universe. We are not the reason that people marry later in life, or not at all (or, if we are, it's only in that people have been afforded greater choice in whether or not they DO marry, when they do it, and why they do it). In fact, what feminism has done is provide both men and women with options – you can marry, if you so choose, not out of economic necessity, not out of some patriarchal ownership of your lady love, but because you genuinely want to.
There is nothing about Suzanne Venker's piece "The War on Men" that is not highly offensive – to women, to men, to feminists, to anybody or anything that is a living, breathing organism.
Maya over at Feministing does a great job of highlighting ten of the major ways in which Venker's article is entirely ridiculous. For example, it's discriminatory (e.g., ignoring the existence of anyone who is not cisgender and heterosexual), ignores more recent and accurate data on trends in marriage, and makes sweeping generalizations about men and women.
Let's just address some of the major flaws in Venker's argument:
"Believe it or not, modern women want to get married. Trouble is, men don't."
Except that that's not true. That's a dated, played out stereotype that taps into discourses of a woman needing to bag a man before she's old and unmarriageable and the myth of the emotionally distal male. It plays upon women's fears of ending up alone, and reinforces that perhaps there's something fundamentally wrong with those women who aren't or don't want to get married. Read more
