Cyber security in an online world
Misha Glenny, cautions: "The risks if you're not focusing on cyber-security, are totally disproportionate to the amount needed to prevent it."

2012 Rank: 27Gross State Product: $777 billion5-Year Annual GSP Growth: -1.2%Governor: Rick Scott
Between 2006 and 2011, the bursting of the housing bubble crushed Florida's economy, with home prices sinking 47% statewide. The decline catapulted Florida into having the highest percentage of business closures over the past three years. Florida's economy is, however, on the rebound. The state's job growth is expected to be among the best in the country over the next five years.

Finding a Niche in Local Theater — and Seeking More
Rick Pender
0 Comments · Wednesday, July 17, 2013
In recent columns I surveyed Cincinnati theater companies that came and went during the past 20 years. Some stumbled because their founders had more passion than management expertise; others simply lacked the focus to keep audiences coming back. The truth is it's hard to identify a niche and settle into it

Free Shakespeare in the Park Tour Returns
Cincinnati Shakespeare Company presents seventh annual summer series
Cincinnati Shakespeare Company continues its summer tradition of Shakespeare in the Park as the free series returns for the seventh year this August. Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night's Dream will be showcased in parks around the Greater Cincinnati area and Northern Kentucky Aug. 3-30. CSC Ensemble Member Nicholas Rose is directing the classic lovers tale, Romeo and Juliet. While the fantastic story of betrayal and magic in A Midsummer Night's Dream is being directed by CSC Education Associate Miranda McGee. Six actors from the CSC Resident Ensemble will be acting in these performances. After the free park tour, they will continue to tour community centers, schools, venues and other performance centers into May of 2014. Cincinnati Shakespeare Company is continuing its partnership with Cincinnati Parks and Recreation, offering free shows at Seasongood Pavilion in Eden Park, Burnet Woods, Mt. Echo Park and the new Smale Riverfront Park. Washington Park will see the group on their tour, alongside parks in Madeira, Colerain and Monroe in Ohio, and Burlington, Edgewood and Maysville in Kentucky. The acting troupe will have two performances at the Vinoklet Winery as well. Certain park locations will be accepting canned food and non-perishable items — CSC has a partnership with the Freestore Foodbank. If a free, al fresco viewing of Shakespeare's best sounds fun, then make sure to get to each performance early to ensure good seating. All shows are general admission with first-come, first-serve seating. For more information go to cincyshakes.com. For show times and locations, refer to the list below: Saturday, Aug. 3, Romeo and Juliet at 7 p.m. in Boone Woods Park, Burlington Wednesday, Aug. 7, Romeo and Juliet at 7 p.m. in Eden Park – Seasongood Pavilion, Mount Adams Thursday, Aug. 8 Romeo and Juliet at 7 p.m. in Burnet Woods, Clifton Friday, Aug. 9 Romeo and Juliet at 7 p.m. in the Monroe Community Park, Monroe, Ohio Saturday, Aug. 10 A Midsummer Night's Dream at 6:30 p.m. in the Harry Whiting Brown Lawn, Glendale Sunday, Aug. 11 Romeo and Juliet at 7 p.m. in the McDonald Commons Park, Madeira Wednesday, Aug. 14 A Midsummer Night's Dream at 7 p.m. in Browning Shelter, Maysville, Ky.

Stage Door: Wrapping Up Summer
Well, the big show that's on the way will be fireworks next week, of course. That means that most theaters are wrapping up early summer productions.But you still have a chance to see The Hound of the Baskervilles at Cincinnati Shakespeare Company. It's a daffy take on a Sherlock Holmes mystery. In truth, it pretty well follows Sir Arthur Conan-Doyle's brilliant deducer as he unthreads a mystery surrounding a diabolical dog that seems to be pursuing a cursed family on the remote moors of Devon. But the story is told using just three actors — all male performers from Cincinnati Shakespeare's corps of veterans — who play male and female, making quick (and sometimes mistaken) costume changes. Nick Rose, Jeremy Dubin and Brent Vimtrup milk every last drop of humor from this amusing script, with the able assistance of director Michael Evan Haney. Haney, who has served as the Cincinnati Playhouse's associate artistic director for more than a decade brings out the best in comic timing, so you're sure to have a rollicking good time. Final performances at Friday, Saturday and Sunday at 7:30 p.m. Tickets: 513-381-2273, x1. You can also catch The Odd Couple on board the Showboat Majestic through Sunday. Neil Simon's comedy about two divorced guys who just can't get along is an American classic, to be sure — so maybe that makes this a perfect show for the weekend before the July 4th holiday. Felix and Oscar would like nothing better than declaring their "independence," but instead, they slowly drive one another mad. Two good actors, Joshua Steele and Mike Hall, are no doubt making this an amusing piece of theater. Tickets: 513-241-6550.

Stage Door: The Droll Days of Summer
Most of our local theaters are cooling their jets for the summer months, but you still have two more weekends to catch the hilarious, three-actor Sherlock Holmes spoof of Hound of the Baskervilles at Cincinnati Shakespeare Company. This one is definitely fine-tuned, featuring a trio of Cincy Shakes best actors — Jeremy Dubin, Nick Rose and Brent Vimtrup — directed by Michael Evan Haney from the Cincinnati Playhouse. It's a revival of a hit from last summer, so they have the comic timing of quick costume changes and fast-paced tomfoolery down pat. I understand that this weekend is almost sold out, but don't let that keep you from trying. Final performance is June 30. I hope you've deduced that you need to get for it this time around, even if you saw it before. (If you did, you know how funny it is.) It's elementary! Tickets: 513-381-2273, x1 The Showboat Majestic is a venue that floats along every summer with solid entertainment. Right now you can come on board for a classic piece of comedy by Neil Simon, The Odd Couple. It's a hit from 1965 in a production featuring a couple of great local actors: Joshua Steele as the prissy Felix and Mike Hall as the messy Oscar. They're a pair who know their way around a funny script, so it's a fine show for a summer's laugh. Tickets: 513-241-6550 Maybe you thought Sesame Street was funny when you were a kid. How'd you like to see some raunchy puppet behavior? Avenue Q is onstage in Dayton at the Human Race Theatre. The 2004 Tony Award-winning musical offers laugh-out-loud musical mayhem. But leave the kids at home: This one is aimed at those who are twentysomething and up, offering answers to a simple question: What happens to the kids who were raised on Sesame Street when they grow up? You'll find the answers — in songs like "It Sucks to Be Me" and "The Internet Is for Porn" — at the Loft Theatre, 126 North Main St. in downtown Dayton. Tickets: 937-228-3630

Stage Door: Cirque du Soleil and More
Head to Dayton's Nutter Center this weekend to see Cirque du Soleil's classic show, Quidam. The show, at the time a big top production, spent several weeks in Cincinnati in August and September 2006 in a "grand chapiteau" on the Ohio River bank near the Suspension Bridge. It's the story of a bored kid named Zoé whose parents ignore her. We enter the world of her imagination when Quidam, a headless wanderer under an umbrella, hands her his blue bowler hat. As her self-absorbed parents float away, the story moves into the magical reality her imagination, populated by Cirque's physically astonishing performers. There's a "German Wheel," a pair of man-sized double hoops with a guy rolling around the stage; an amazing silk contortionist, high above the stage); and "Statue," a mesmerizing performance by a muscle-bound guy and a powerful woman who slowly balance in various positions. My favorite was Banquine, the finale by 15 acrobats, launching tumblers high into the air and catching them. Through Sunday. Tickets: cirquedusoleil.comOther productions to consider for your theater calendar this weekend: The Odd Couple (just opened on the Showboat Majestic, 513-241-6550); The Hound of the Baskervilles (Cincinnati Shakespeare, 513-381-2273), Nunsense (Commonwealth Dinner Theatre at Northern Kentucky University, 859-572-5465) and, if you're looking to make a theater weekend in Dayton with Quidam on one evening, how about filling the other with the outrageously funny X-rated Sesame Street-inspired Avenue Q at Human Race Theatre Company (888-228-3630).

Stage Door: Near Season's End
Cincinnati Shakespeare Company finishes its run of Measure for Measure this weekend (CityBeat review here). It's a dark tale of hypocrisy and manipulation, with a few glimmers of ribald humor. Director Brian Phillips has transported the story from Renaissance-Era Vienna to the United States of the 1920s when Prohibition made everyday occurrences of fast living and bad behavior. (Can you say Boardwalk Empire?) In 20 seasons, CSC has only staged it once before, but this is a production worth seeing because of the strong acting company — especially Brent Vimtrup, Kelly Mengelkoch and Nick Rose. Billy Chace does a nice job with the comic bits, too, even though they feel weird in this difficult story of self-righteousness and double-dealing. Tickets: 513-381-2273, x1.For those into crooning, sentimental nostalgia, you'll find an ample supply aboard the Showboat Majestic's production of Forever Plaid. Jinx, Sparky Francis and Smudge conjure up a lot of good clean fun and close harmonies for their final concert. And I do mean final — in fact, they're kind of after the fact: Coming back from the great beyond for one last gig after a tragic bus accident on their way to a career-making gig. There's a lot of tomfoolery that makes this show amusing and entertaining. Through June 2. Tickets: 513-241-6550. If you prefer the girls to the boys, Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati is into the extended run of The Mavelous Wonderettes: Caps and Gowns. The spunky gals — who also traffic in tunes from the '50s and '60s — provide two more rounds of melodies and moodiness. "Caps" is a reconstruction of their graduation night in 1958, while "Gowns" is a decade later at the wedding reception of Missy, who always has a plan, and Mr. Lee, a teacher she idolized. We get to see what life has brought to her three friends, love-'em-and-leave-'em Cindy Lou, jealous Betty Jean and vapid Suzy. ETC's casting gets an A+. Through June 1. Tickets: 513-421-3555. For our early summer enjoyment, the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park has put together the charming and family-friendly Shipwrecked! An Entertainment: The Amazing Adventures of Louis de Rougemont (As Told by Himself). I attended the opening on Thursday evening and witnessed three actors who play a host of characters, change costumes in plain view, create wildly imaginative scenery and make their own sound effects. It's a wistful story of adventure that revels in the adventure of storytelling. It's onstage through June 16. Tickets: 513-421-3888.

Stage Door: Choices, Choices
As the 2012-2013 theater season winds down, there are still several good productions worth seeing: You can still be entertained by the froth of The Marvelous Wonderettes: Caps and Gowns at Ensemble Theatre (which runs through June 1), intrigued by the dark comedy Measure for Measure at Cincinnati Shakespeare Company (through May 26; CityBeat review here) or titillated by the noir tale of lust and murder, Double Indemnity, at the Cincinnati Playhouse (wrapping up on Saturday; CityBeat review here).But if you're looking for other options, you'll find them. Slightly more off the beaten path is Sunset Boulevard, the Andrew Lloyd Webber about a faded silent film star living in her grandiose memory of her glory days rather than in the cynical present of the 1940s. Cincinnati Music Theatre has assembled a fine production of the show at the Aronoff Center's Jarson-Kaplan Theater, onstage through Saturday evening. This is a big show in terms of cast, choreography, scenery and more, but CMT, a community theater, has the personnel to pull it off. Tickets: 513-621-2787. Another tale of a film legend contemplating a return to the screen — but on a decidedly smaller scale — is offered in Krisit, a new play by local playwright Y York. Veteran actress Dale Hodges plays the title character in a show characterized by director Mark Lutwak as a funny play about a serious subject. York and Hodges have a history that goes back to New York City many years ago. It's onstage (through June 2) at Clifton Performance Theatre (the space once occupied by Sitwell's Coffee House, 404 Ludlow Ave.). Tickets: 513-861-7469. Speaking of legends, at the Aronoff tonight (Friday) you'll find Hal Holbrook in Mark Twain Tonight! He's been presenting the humor, satirical wit and timeless observations of one of America's most iconic literary figures for more than a half-century. Holbrook is now 88, more than a decade older than Twain when he passed away in 1910. But he keeps his performances fresh and timely with constant edits and changes about politics, culture and the world, carefully attuned to the moment. (He has more than 16 hours of Twain material in his repertoire!) His performance is in the Procter & Gamble Hall at the Aronoff Center. Tickets: 513-621-2787. If you've already enjoyed the Wonderettes at ETC, you might want to attend Forever Plaid, which just opened the 2013 summer season on board the Showboat Majestic. It's a similar story, a quartet of singers aspiring for their big musical break. They get it, but at a high (and highly comic) price. Lots of great tunes from the '50s, surrounded by nostalgic humor. It's onstage through June 2. Tickets: 513-241-6550. Finally, if you're a regular theatergoer in Cincinnati, you might want to attend the League of Cincinnati's awards program on Monday evening, 7 p.m. at Know Theatre. Details here.

Stage Door: Stock Up
Nothing new onstage this week, but lots of good work continues as we head toward the summer when theater gets scarce. Now's the time to stock up. This is the final weekend for Cock at Know Theatre. (Some publications call it The Cockfight Play, but Cock is Mike Bartlett's actual title for his play.) It's the story of a man who thought he was gay but now finds himself powerfully drawn to a woman. (CityBeat review here.) His former lover and his new passion both push him to make a choice, and he's torn. It's a great piece of theater, fueled by strong acting and interesting staging. Tickets: 513-300-5669. Ensemble Theatre's production of The Marvelous Wonderettes: Caps and Gowns is off and running — and on its way to being another box-office hit for ETC. It's the same four spunky gals who audiences loved back in 2010 (in ETC's best-selling show ever), with new tuneful glimpses into their high school graduation in 1958 and a wedding reception in 1968. Talented singers, individually and as a quartet, make this a fine evening's entertainment. If you've seen it before, you know the drill — and you're probably ready for more. Tickets: 513-421-3555 James M. Cain's novel of crime and deception, Double Indemnity, continues at the Cincinnati Playhouse. (CityBeat review here.) If you think you know this show from Billy Wilder's 1944 film (one that defined the noir genre), you're in for a treat: While this production adopts the elements of terse narration, tough guys and sexy dames, the playwrights tell the story differently for the stage. And the Playhouse stages it inventively — one might even say cinematically. Tickets: 513-421-3888. Shakespeare's Measure for Measure is a strange piece, a comedy with a deeply disturbing story about hypocrisy. (CityBeat review here.) A judgmental official condemns men for their licentious behavior, then turns around and propositions a virtuous woman pleading to spare her brother. This troublesome tale is interspersed with comic moments as minor characters wend their way through a time of sordid behavior — in Cincinnati Shakespeare's production it's been moved to Prohibition-era America. If you're a Shakespeare buff, this one is worth seeing, since it's not often staged. (It's been 18 years since it's been presented locally.) Tickets: 513-381-2273 x.1. The musical Sister Act, based on the Whoopi Goldberg film from 1992, continues at the Aronoff. (CityBeat review here.) It's an evening of silly fluff, but the touring production, onstage through Sunday, is polished and entertaining. The plot is implausible, but it's a framework for some great singing and an eye-popping series of set pieces. Tickets: 800-982-2787. If you prefer a musical with a little more grit, head to Dayton where the Human Race Theatre Company is presenting next to normal at the Victoria Theater. This Rock musical about a paranoid schizophrenic mom and the damage her affliction imposes on her family is a powerful show, one that Cincinnati's Ensemble Theatre gave a well received production in 2011 that was revived a year ago. The show was an unusual winner of the 2010 Pulitzer Prize for drama. It's onstage in Dayton through May 19. Tickets: 937-228-9360.

Stage Door: Shake It Up
Cincinnati Shakespeare Company opens its production of the infrequently staged Measure for Measure tonight. Director Brian Isaac Phillips says, "We have discovered a lot of satire and wit as we explore the biting social criticism in this play. The behavior of these characters … is like a dark comic mirror, held up to nature. Shakespeare has written a play that begs us to examine modern day decadence and hypocrisy." Phillips has set the production in the corrupt and hypocritical Prohibition Era, to "give modern audiences a context for the actions and the characters' deeply held opinions." It's onstage through May 26. Tickets: 513-381-2273 x.1. The Marvelous Wonderettes are back at Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati with another sequel to the 2010 show that set box-office records. This time the theme is "Caps and Gowns" — which means graduation (in 1958) and a wedding (in 1968). The quartet of girl singers are lively and sometimes harmonious, although each one has her quirks and pet peeves. The spread of a decade allows a range through two distinct periods of Rock & Roll, one innocent, the other a bit more knowing. ETC has reunited three of the four actresses who've played these parts before, and the fourth slot – filled by Leslie Goddard — is a petite stick of dynamite in cats' eye glasses. The show opened on Wednesday, and it will surely be a hot ticket again — ETC has already extended it by two weeks beyond its original closing date. Tickets: 513-421-3555. I went to see Sister Act, based on the Whoopi Goldberg film from 1992 about nuns and disco, with low expectations. I was pleasantly surprised: This is a solid production of a very silly show, with some genuine talent in the leading roles, and plenty of energy in the ensemble. The music (by composer Alan Menken, who also wrote Little Shop of Horrors, Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Newsies and many more) is entertaining, the production looks great — lots of glitter and sequins — and some moments of touching emotion (cliched, but moving nonetheless). Don't expect anything profound and you'll have a good time. It's onstage at the Aronoff Center. Tickets: 800-982-2782. If you're in a darker mood, check out Double Indemnity at the Cincinnati Playhouse. It's a stage version of a noir classic, a pair of lovers plot to murder her husband and score a big insurance take (boyfriend is an insurance salesman). But things don't quite work out as planned. Very stylish imagery and actors who get the hard-boiled tough-guy style of story-telling from the 1940s. Paul Shortt's cleverly designed set moves the action quickly from scene to scene using two turntables, so it's almost like a movie with "wipes" from once setting to the next. Tickets: 513-421-3888.

6A boys golf update: Edmond North, Memorial's Taylor Moore leading after first round
UPDATE: At 4:55 p.m., the air horn blew to signal the stoppage of play as thunderstorms neared the course. Play was halted for the day and will resume at 9 a.m. Tuesday, with players returning to where they were when the horn blew. No one finished their second round before the weather arrived, but several groups got through 12-17 holes on the second 18.
Edmond North is off to a good start in its Class 6A state golf championship defense on Monday at the Jimmie Austin OU Golf Course. The five-time defending champs shot a first-round 301 for a four-stroke lead over Edmond Santa Fe. Host Norman North is six back.
Edmond Memorial's Taylor Moore finished his first round with a 2-under-par 70, one of two golfers under par in the opening round. The other was Edmond North's Austen Fuller at 71.
Santa Fe's Cody Reed and Norman North's Bryce Barnard came in at 73; Tate Williamson, the No. 5 man from Broken Arrow, shot 74, along with Norman North's Jett Johnson and Shawnee's Dillion Mooreland, who is playing as an individual. At 75 were Broken Arrow's Brent Williamson, Edmond North's Alec Heinen 75, Bixby's Jack Fiscus and Norman's Kyle Raberding 75.
Everyone will play between 19 and 28 holes on Tuesday, with the first groups reaching No. 18 in the second round before play was halted. The last group was on the No. 9 tee.
The damage to holes 5-8 could impact play. About one-fourth of the groups still have all or some of those holes to play, because they started their rounds on No. 10.
There was a large tree uprooted on No. 7, which could change the thought process of how a player attacks the hole. Talking to some of the players, the tree prevents many players from hitting driver off the tee, because you need an accurate tee shot to have an open look at the green. Anything on the left side of the fairway was trouble. But without that tree, the hole becomes easier… basically a fairly open, straight par 4, and one of the shorter ones on the course.
But whether or not the Jimmie Austin folks can get the tree removed from the course in time for Tuesday's action is questionable. That's not an easy chore, so we'll have to see what it looks like when everyone returns to the course on Tuesday morning.
Here are the team scores through the first round:
1. Edmond North 301
2. Edmond Santa Fe 305
3. Norman North 307
4. Edmond Memorial 310
5. Tulsa Union 312
6. Broken Arrow 313
7. Bartlesville 315
8. Jenks 318
T9. Putnam City North 321
T9. Stillwater 321
11. Owasso 325
12. Choctaw 326
And here's the updated first-round individual scoring:

Designer Meredith Heron renovates a Toronto couple's condo in classic finishes and a subdued palette, creating the perfect backdrop for silver and crystal that's synonymous with holiday entertaining.
First, Meredith had the tiny, closed-off U-shaped kitchen opened up to the main living quarters, the dated stucco ceilings hand-scraped smooth and new dark hardwood floors laid throughout. With the dividing wall gone, an extra-wide peninsula separates the new kitchen from the dining and living areas, granting plenty of room for spreading out while entertaining. The wide counter with a waterfall edge – another of Brigitte's must-haves – also allows for back-to-back cabinetry below, providing loads of storage. Features like double wall ovens, a convection microwave oven and a deep sink make cooking and cleanup a cinch, whether hosting an intimate dinner party or cocktails for a crowd. The subtly glamorous design – thanks to a muted palette with restrained hits of gold, silver, mirror and glass and a few dark-hued accents – brings together masculine and feminine elements in a space that caters to the everyday as well as special occasions, appealing to both husband and wife and visitors alike. Just like your favourite holiday flick, this home is a classic in the making and one you'll want to revisit over and over again.
Designer Meredith Heron
"I love to mix as much pattern as I can into a space," says designer Meredith Heron. For example, the low, feminine armchairs in the living room boast paisley fronts and trellis-patterned backs.

Why you can't decide (And what to do about it)
May 27, 2016
Commentary: The rapidly changing digital world can leave tech executives feeling overwhelmed when they're faced with charting the course of their company's cybersecurity strategy.
David Stegon was a staff reporter for FedScoop and StateScoop from 2011-2014.
The White House released a memorandum on Thursday outlining the Federal Risk Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP), a day short of the one-year anniversary of the release of the Office of Management and Budget's 25-Point Plan.
FedRAMP will create a platform for federal agencies to secure cloud-computing solutions when it officially goes live within the next year, a move that Federal Chief Information Officer Steven VanRoekel said will save the government 30 to 40 percent on cloud computing costs.
VanRoekel announced the program in a conference call with reporters along with GSA Associate Administrator David McClure, Department of Homeland Security CIO Richard Spires, and NIST Director for the Information Technology Laboratory Charles Romine.
"FedRAMP introduces an innovative policy approach to develop trusted relationships between agencies and providers," said VanRoekel. "Federal government spends hundreds of millions of dollars securing IT systems; much [of that] is duplicative, inconsistent and time consuming."
FedRAMP would provide joint authorizations and continuous security monitoring of shared IT services for federal departments and agencies that enter contracts with outside providers, including those offering cloud computing solutions, and will be mandatory for all federal agencies once it is launched. Spires said he estimates that FedRAMP will address up to 90 percent of agencies FISMA requirements.
A joint authorization board of the Defense and Homeland Security departments and GSA will define and update the security authorization requirements on an ongoing basis. This board wil also approve accreditation criteria for third-party organizations that will provide independent assessments of cloud service providers' compliance with FedRAMP security requirements.
He added the FedRAMP authorizations on services will be at the low and moderate levels of the Federal Information Security Management Act.
Spires said the FedRAMP development process has been collaborative in order to build trust with agency CIOs.
"They will need to make adjustments as they see fit for their agency," he said. "I certainly believe with all that we've done with these controls and adding additional controls from the stand point of cloud based services that we are secure for the FISMA low and moderate levels there is a high degree of confidence. We've had these discussions in the CIO Council and I think there is a lot of excitement actually to move forward to leverage this. Frankly, as CIOs we are paying too much for all of this certification and accreditation work we do with security and we are looking for ways to streamline this."
According to the memo, FedRAMP will provide a cost-effective, risk-based approach for the adoption and use of cloud services by making available to Executive departments and agencies:
By using an agile and flexible framework, FedRAMP will enable the Federal Government to accelerate the adoption of cloud computing by creating transparent standards and processes for security authorizations and allowing agencies to leverage security authorizations on a government-wide scale, according to the memo.
The plan calls for GSA to create a program management office under the Office of Citizen Services and Innovative Technologies. The PMO will:
Departments, Commerce Department, National Institute of Standards and Technology , Homeland Security Department, Agencies, General Services Administration , Tech, Cybersecurity, FedRAMP, NIST, Richard Spires, Steven VanRoekel, Charles Romine, David McClure

Why: Sparky's Pizza adds to the quick lunchtime options in Salmon Creek by offering several varieties of pizza by the slice. These slices, along with 14-inch garlic-and-parmesan flavored bread "Shticks," appear to be the focus, but Sparky's has a full menu of specialty and made-to-order pizzas, with many toppings to choose from to create your own pie.
Sparky's Pizza, which recently opened, is owner Joe Tigli's first Washington restaurant. Tigli owns two other sites in Oregon.
Atmosphere: The restaurant has seating for about twelve diners, five at bar stools, the rest at petite tables and chairs. Live plants add a splash of green amid muted purple and green walls. A light-colored wood brightens up the space and black trim brings a defining edge.
What I tried: My dining companion and I decided on slices of The Manhattan, The Chicago and The Hawaiian, as well as The New Yorker, a classic cheese pizza.
Pizza by the slice, once chosen, is briefly reheated in the oven, which gives the crust a crisp — and appetizing — exterior. The dough reminded me of homemade with its yeast flavors. Though the crust wasn't thin, it wasn't excessively thick or doughy.
The sauce didn't have any distinctive properties, though it supported the toppings with a tomato flavor.
My favorite was the cheese pizza. Mozzarella, provolone and Monterey Jack are combined together nicely without becoming a stringy mess, and impart a richness to the pizza.
If you're looking for pizza with a kick, I recommend The Chicago. This pizza has Fontanini-brand, direct-from-Chicago Italian sausage, and it brings the heat. Mushrooms and a bit of extra cheese complement the overall flavor, but this pizza is all about the sausage.
The Manhattan is loaded with pepperoni, Italian sausage, ham, mushrooms, green peppers, black olives, ground beef and onions. This meaty pizza likely will satisfy those looking for an all-around classic supreme pizza.
The Hawaiian, with its pineapple and ham, was a typical rendition and did not disappoint.
Sparky's Shticks are two to three times bigger than the average breadstick. Pizza sauce or ranch dressing for dipping may be purchased for an additional 25 cents. Both my dining companion and I preferred the ranch dressing to the cold pizza sauce, though we agreed that if the pizza sauce had been hot, it would have been worthwhile.
Highlights beyond what I tried: Of the specialty pizzas, The Capri stood out. This pizza is topped with diced chicken, roma tomatoes, red onions, red peppers and sun-dried tomatoes.
Vegetarian options are on the menu, as well as Buffalo Wings with either hot and spicy sauce or mild barbecue sauce.
Other observations: The employees were friendly and courteous and the tidiness of every aspect of Sparky's Pizza was impressive.
Cost: Pizza by the slice is $2 to $3. The Lunch Special, a slice of pizza and regular size soda, is $3.75. Sparky's Shticks are 99 cents. Sauce for dipping is 25 cents. Create your own whole pizza for $10.99 to $21.24 or order a specialty pizza for $11.49 to $18.99.
Hours: 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Thursday. 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Noon to 8:30 p.m. Sunday.
Telephone: 360-448-7472.
Where: 14300 N.E. 20th Ave., Vancouver.
Health score: Sparky's Pizza received a score of 10 on June 8. Zero is a perfect score, and Clark County Public Health closes restaurants that score 100 or higher. For information, call 360-397-8428.

Defensive end Lawrence Jackson, the Seattle Seahawks' first-round draft pick, earned the starting job with a good training camp and exhibition season, and he's set to become the first Seahawks rookie to start at defensive end in Week One since another first-round pick, Jeff Bryant, in 1982.

RENTON — Lawrence Jackson is a rookie, about to play in his first NFL regular-season game.
But ask the Seahawks defensive end if he feels like a rookie.
"No," Jackson said. "I constantly get reminded that I'm a rookie. There's times where I feel inexperienced. But the guys have helped me kind of catch up on a lot of stuff."
The Seahawks' first-round draft pick earned the starting job with a good training camp and exhibition season, and he's set to become the first Seahawks rookie to start at defensive end in Week One since another first-round pick, Jeff Bryant, in 1982.

The last rookie to open the season as a starter for Seattle was Jackson's former USC teammate, Lofa Tatupu, in 2005.
"He came in, he's a very talented guy, a No. 1 draft choice, and he didn't do anything to make us say, 'Hey, we don't feel good about this,' " Seahawks coach Mike Holmgren said of Jackson. "He did everything right, so he's going to start."
The Seahawks will treat the defensive-end position like they normally do, rotating players depending on fatigue or for a defensive set. Jackson will start, but Darryl Tapp — whom Jackson overcame for the starting job — will see action.
Jackson, though, has a role in the team's nickel package, when he slides inside to play nose guard as the Seahawks add an extra defensive back.
"People say, 'How do you feel about your first game?' and I say, 'Well, it's my fifth game,' " Jackson said. He saw action in all of the Seahawks' exhibition contests. "Being a rookie, I can't tell the difference between preseason and regular season. So I put all I had into the preseason and prepared like it was a regular game."
Jackson will line up against Buffalo left tackle Langston Walker, a behemoth at 6 feet 8, 366 pounds. Jackson's quickness, though, could give him an advantage in pass rushing.
If Jackson has anything going for him, it would be knowing what it's like to play in big games. USC always had plenty of TV exposure.
"The spotlight doesn't bother him," Seahawks defensive-line coach Dwaine Board said. "He's been there before. He knows how to handle that.
"He understands football. He understands when he has to drop in coverage. He has a great feel for that. He has a natural understanding of where his next block is coming from."
Jackson doesn't think he'll be nervous. Not like he was for his first game at USC.
"They had this little countdown clock that started 24 hours before [the game] and I think that made me more nervous than anything," he said.
Holmgren has never been big on starting rookies, especially at the beginning of a season.
"There's a lot on their shoulders," Holmgren said. "And they will make — as good as they are, and as smart as they are and all that stuff — there will be times when something will happen and you'll go, 'Why did that happen?' or 'How did that happen?' And it was because we're playing with young people.
"But if you believe in the player like we believe in these guys, then you kind of live with it. And hopefully it doesn't hurt you too much."
The best piece of advice Jackson has received from his more experienced teammates? Stay low, use your hands and just go out and play football, he said. Jackson has also had to digest film and game planning this week at a new level.
"When they drafted me, I was brought here to play football. Whether it's a rookie year, fifth year, fourth year, I feel like my responsibility is the same," Jackson said. "If you really understand what they [coaches] are trying to tell you, you can get the most out of it and it will help you get an extra step or two on the field."

Albouystown man dies in Omai backdam crash
An accident around 18:30hrs on Tuesday resulted in the death of Ryan Allen, a 25 year old resident of 22 Callender Street, Albouystown.
In a press release yesterday police stated that investigations revealed that Allen and three other men were in the tray of a motor lorry, licence plate GLL 4502, when Quacy Valentine, the driver of the vehicle lost control of the lorry as it navigated the Granny Backdam Trail, Omai, Essequibo River, causing it to topple, and pinning Ryan in the ordeal.
Ryan was taken to the Mackenzie Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival. Police are still investigating the incident.
