When the bullets started raining down on the crowd at a Las Vegas country music festival on Sunday, Sonny Melton's first reaction was to protect his wife.
"He saved my life," Heather Melton said. "He grabbed me from behind and started running when I felt him get shot in the back."
Sonny Melton, 29, a registered nurse from Tennessee, was soon pronounced dead, one of 59 people who were killed during the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas on Sunday night.
Dozens of families are going through their own version of agony as Las Vegas officials process the massive crime scene and notify next of kin. Clark County Sheriff Joseph Lombardo said Monday that nearly 60 people were dead and another 489 injured.
Here is a look at some of the victims:
Chris Hazencomb, 44, California
As the clock approached 11 a.m. on Monday morning, Maryanne Hazencomb stood in a Las Vegas hospital room and gave the order to disconnect the ventilator that was keeping her son alive.
Chris Hazecomb, 44, of Camarillo, Calif, had shielded his best friend's wife after the shooting started. The graduate of Thousand Oaks High School, a sports junkie and country music fan, soon became the 59th victim in the shooting.
With a priest by her side, Maryanne said her goodbyes.
"You don't expect your kid to go before you go," she said Tuesday after returning to her Camarillo home. "He was good to everybody. He'd go out on the limb for everybody."
Steve Berger, 44, Shorewood, Minnesota
Steve Berger went to the Las Vegas concert to celebrate his 44th birthday with some friends. His family confirmed on Tuesday that they learned he had died in the mass shooting.
Sonny Melton, 29, Tennessee
Melton lived in Big Sandy, Tenn., and was a registered nurse at Henry County Medical Center in Paris, Tenn. Heather Melton, his wife, is an orthopedic surgeon there, and officials from the center said they will provide counselors to staff who are struggling to deal with this "horrible incident."
"The thoughts and prayers of the entire HCMC family are with Sonny and Heather's families," the center's CEO, Thomas Gee, said in a statement.
The couple married in June 2016, according to the wedding website The Knot.
"We were the couple that never should have met, fallen in love or had a future together....but life is funny and we believe God brought us together as soul mates," read their wedding page. "We have shared amazing times together and nearly unbearable heartaches but through it all we have grown stronger in our love for each other and our families."
Adrian Murfitt, 35, Alaska
For Adrian Murfitt, the country music festival was a group celebration after a successful fishing season off the Alaskan coast.
His sister, Shannon Gothard, said Murfitt was every bit the Anchorage native — he played hockey "since he was just a little tot" and would spend months at sea as a commercial fisherman. Gothard said her brother was even talking about going in with a friend to buy their own boat.
That all came to an end Sunday night when a man opened fire and Murfitt, 35, was shot in the neck while he stood near the stage. Gothard said the family was reeling, and she struggled to describe the kind of person he was.
"He was my brother, so of course I thought he was an arrogant little cuss," she said, struggling to laugh. "But only I can say that cause he's my brother. He had this big, jovial, goofy laugh. He'd always try to do the right thing. He had a big heart."
Christiana Duarte, 21

Sandra Casey, California
Quinton Robbins, 20, Nevada
Robbins, a 20-year-old victim of the Las Vegas shooter, was an avid fisherman and snowboarder who spent his final moments with his sister, according to social media posts. He lived in Henderson, Nev.
Family members paid tribute to the young man on Facebook on Monday and established a GoFundMe account to help pay for his funeral expenses.
"He was the most kind and loving soul," his aunt, Kilee Wells Sanders, wrote on Facebook. "Everyone who met him loved him ... He was truly an amazing person."
Robbins studied at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas and worked in recreation for the city of Henderson. City officials said Monday they could not comment on his death.
His Facebook account and those of his friends are full of pictures of him fishing and snowboarding.
His sister, Skylar Robbins, wrote a touching tribute on Twitter, citing the times they snowboarded and rode off-road vehicles together. She also described his final moments after the shooting.
"Everything you said made me laugh no matter how stupid it was," she wrote. "Laying next to you in the hospital bed all night was the hardest thing I've gone through, but you made me feel so at peace and I know you are with me."
Heather Alvarado, 35, Utah
When news spread that a shooting was underway at the music festival, the Cedar City (Utah) Fire Department immediately sent crews to the home Albert Alvarado, a seven-year member of the department.
They knew his wife was at the show. Heather Alvarado ran an in-home day care center and worked with the department's Ladies Auxiliary. The couple had three children who would come along when they went on cruises together.
By late Monday night, the word came: Heather was one of the victims.
"This is part of our family," Fire Chief Mike Phillips said. "There's no question that we are going to feel the soreness and loss from this senseless act of violence from this coward for years to come."
Susan Smith, 53, California
Within hours of learning about the shooting, visitors started dropping off flowers outside Vista Elementary School, where Susan Smith was a popular office manager.
"She's the hub...really the heart of the school," said Jake Finch, a spokesperson for the Simi Valley Unified School District.
Smith, an ardent country music fan who was married with two adult children, attended the music festival with two friends from the school district. By Monday morning, the front office at Visa Elementary was filled with red-eyed parents and employees broken up over her death.
Crisis teams visited each classroom to share the news in an "age-appropriate way," Finch said. Some classes made sympathy cards for Smith's family.
"She was wonderful," Finch said. "She had a great sense of humor. She's patient and kind."
Jordan McIldoon, 23, Canada
McIldoon was attending the country music festival with his girlfriend when he was shot and killed. His parents, Al and Angela McIldoon, told CBC News that he was scheduled to return home Monday night.
"We only had one child," they told the Canadian broadcast network. "We just don't know what to do."
They said McIldoon was a heavy-duty mechanic apprentice and was preparing to start trade school in the Okanagan region of the Canadian province directly north of Washington state. They couple said they were working through the Canadian consulate to figure out the next steps.
Rachael Parker, 33, Manhattan Beach, Calif.
The first person anybody walking into the Manhattan Beach (Calif.) Police Department saw was Rachael Parker, a civilian employee of the department who served as a records technician and the front desk clerk.
"She was one of the faces of the department," said Kristie Colombo, the department's community affairs officer. "She was always funny and smart and bubbly and always had a smile on her face."
Parker was attending the music festival with three other department employees. One was an off-duty police officer who was shot — Colombo said he's expected to recover. Parker died after being transported to a local hospital.
Colombo said the department was still in shock on Monday. The police chief went to Las Vegas to assist in the cleanup, and those those that remained struggled to cope with their loss.
"She knew and touched a lot of people's lives over the years," Colombo said.
Hannah Ahlers, 34, Murietta, Calif.
Hannah attended the festival with her husband and three other couples, the Las Vegas Review Journal reports. The couple has three children, aged 3, 11 and 14. Information on the condition of Ahler's husband has not been shared yet.
Carrie Barnette, 34, Riverside, Calif.
Barnette bought a home in Riverside, Calif., last year and was working at the Pacific Wharf Café, a waterfront restaurant in the Disneyland companion park California Adventure.
Friends and family described her an upbeat, happy, animal-loving spirit who owned a basset hound and country music. On Sunday, she took a bullet to the left side of her chest and died with a friend by her side, according to her cousin, Janice Chambers.
News of her death quickly moved through her community and her company, even drawing a tweet from Disney CEO Robert Iger. "We mourn a wonderful member of the Disney family: Carrie Barnette," he wrote. "Tragic."
Lisa Romero-Muniz, 48, New Mexico
Romero-Muniz, who lived in Gallup, N.M., spent all of her time around children.
She had children and four grandchildren. She worked as a counselor at elementary, middle-school and high-school levels for Gallup-McKinley County Schools. That explains why her colleagues, and her students, flooded social media with glowing tributes after Romero-Muniz was shot and killed in Las Vegas.
District superintendent Mike Hyatt said she, "was an incredible loving and sincere friend, mentor and advocate for students in many of our schools."
Jack Beaton, Bakersfield, Calif.
Beaton and his wife were celebrating their 23rd anniversary at the festival, Bakersfieldnow.com reports. Sunday night, Beaton posted a photo of the couple with a group of friends, enjoying the festival. According to a tweet by his son, Beaton jumped in front of his wife to shield her from the gunfire.

Kupilka Tableware
Today we are introducing innovative Kupilka tableware, made in Finland! Kupilka means "little cup". The word kupilka stems from the Finnish word for cup which is "Kuppi". It also refers to a term used by Finnish people decades ago, when men and women warmed up their hands with their "Kuppilka" or "little cup" by drinking hot beverages during the rough Finnish winter. All Kupilka products except of the Kupilka Cutlery were designed by managing director Kari Kuisma and well-known Finnish architect and designer Heikki Koivurova. Kupilka products are made of a Biomaterial. The Biomaterial used for Kupilka products is a Thermoplastic Natural Fiber Composites material. It is made up of 50% pine fiber (wood) and 50% plastic. If you compare it to plastic, the benefits of Natural Fiber Composites are a better heat endurance and a higher durability thanks to the stiff structure. If you compare it to wood, the benefits of Natural Fiber Composites are that it doesn't require maintenance, doesn't "absorb" smells and is insensitive to humidity. All Kupilka products are dishwasher safe! Kupilka would make a great gift to someone who likes spending time in nature! Se tilgjengelige modeller her

Ersan Ilyasova
Larry Sanders
Brandon Jennings
Kyrie Irving
Tristan Thompson
Luke Walton
CLEVELAND (AP) Kyrie Irving scored 35 points and the Cleveland Cavaliers rallied from a 20-point deficit in the third quarter to defeat the Milwaukee Bucks 113-108 on Friday night.
Irving, voted an Eastern Conference reserve for next month's All-Star Game in Houston on Thursday, scored 16 points in the third quarter to help Cleveland get back in the game. He added eight points down the stretch as the Cavaliers posted back-to-back wins for only the second time this season.
Cleveland, which trailed 79-59 midway through the third quarter, took a 96-95 lead on a 3-pointer by newly acquired Wayne Ellington with 6:31 to play. The basket was his first since joining the Cavaliers from Memphis on Tuesday, and it gave Cleveland the lead for good.
Ersan Ilyasova scored a season-high 30 points and Monta Ellis added 21, but the Bucks' collapse ended their three-game winning streak.
Following Ellington's basket, a 3-pointer by Daniel Gibson, a breakaway layup by Shaun Livingston and a foul shot by Marreese Speights helped Cleveland build a 102-95 lead.
Ellis' 3-pointer cut the margin to 102-98, but Irving's basket gave Cleveland a six-point lead. Baskets by Brandon Jennings and Larry Sanders made it 104-102, but Speights, also acquired in the deal with Memphis, hit a basket and a foul shot to put the Cavaliers ahead 107-102 with 1:06 remaining.
Ilysaova's basket made it a three-point game, but Irving added a jumper and four free throws to put it away.
Irving, coming off a 40-point performance against Boston on Tuesday, hit 12 of 17 from the field and made all nine of his free throws.
Tristan Thompson scored 18 points and Dion Waiters added 16 for the Cavaliers. Livingston scored 12 points. Speights scored 10 points and had six rebounds in 18 minutes.
Brandon Jennings, who was left off the Eastern Conference All-Star team by coaches picking the reserves, scored 14 points for the Bucks, but was 5 of 19 from the field and was scoreless in the first half. He finished with 12 assists. Sanders had 14 points and 11 rebounds.
The Bucks are 6-3 under interim coach Jim Boylan, who replaced Scott Skiles on Jan. 8.
Trailing 31-30 early in the second quarter, Ilyasova hit three 3-pointers in 1:29 to help the Bucks build a 41-33 lead. The margin reached 11 points and the Bucks were ahead 59-50 at halftime. Milwaukee scored 38 points in the quarter - a season high for any period this season - and hit 15 of 24 from the field.
Milwaukee hit its first four shots of the third quarter, including another 3-pointer by Ilyasova and Jennings' first basket of the game, which led to a quick timeout by Cleveland coach Byron Scott. The lead reached 79-59 midway through the period, but the Cavaliers cut the margin to 90-81 by the end of the period thanks mostly to Irving, who hit 5 of 6 from the field.
The Cavaliers cut the margin to 90-87 early in the fourth quarter and outscored the Bucks 32-18 in the period.
NOTES: Milwaukee hasn't had a player in the All-Star Game since 2004 when Michael Redd made the team. ... The Bucks host Golden State on Saturday night. ... Milwaukee is 17-10 against Eastern Conference teams. ... .. Cleveland G C.J. Miles, who had been battling the flu, dressed, but didn't play. ... Cleveland is 2-9 against the Central Division. ... The Cavaliers play at Toronto on Saturday.

Commonwealth Games 2018: 20 photos from the final day's competition
For every winner there is at least one loser. And that was never more stark for Australia than the final day's competition.
Take the women's rugby sevens gold medal match, for instance.
It was a tough pill to swallow for departing coach Tim Walsh but if he was going to lose, it was okay to be like that.
His Olympic champion side fell 17-12 to arch-rivals New Zealand in a classic Commonwealth Games women's rugby sevens final that will long be remembered.
It was a similar story on the netball court where Australia's netballers blew a four-goal final-quarter lead and were beaten by a last-second England goal in one of the boilovers of the Games.

The most recent short interest data has been released by the NASDAQ for the 03/28/2013 settlement date, which shows a 484,525 share increase in total short interest for ITC Holdings Corp (ITC) ITC, to 3,134,642, an increase of 18.28% since 03/15/2013. Total short interest is just one way to look at short data; another metric that we here at Dividend Channel find particularly useful is the "days to cover" metric because it considers both the total shares short and the average daily volume of shares traded. The number of shares short is then compared to the average daily volume, in order to calculate the total number of trading days (at the average volume) it would take to close out all of the open short positions if every share traded represented a short position being closed. Average daily volume for ITC at the 03/28/2013 settlement decreased to 217,042, as compared to 238,247 at the 03/15/2013 report. That brought "days to cover" up to 14.44, a 29.84% increase from the 11.12 days to cover calculated at the previous short interest data release. The below chart shows the historical "days to cover" for ITC at previous short interest release dates:An increased "days to cover" value could indicate that short sellers are using the stock to hedge a long bet elsewhere, or could also mean that short sellers believe the stock will decline in price. When short sellers eventually cover their positions, by definition there must be buying activity because a share that is currently sold short must be purchased to be covered. So investors tend to keep an eye on that "days to cover" metric, because a high value could predict a sharper price increase should the company put out some unexpectedly good news — short sellers might then rush to cover their positions, and if the "days to cover" number is high, it would then be more difficult to close those positions without sending the stock higher (until the higher price produces enough sellers to generate the necessary volume the short sellers need to close their positions).

In afternoon trading Wednesday, ITC was up about 1% on the day.

Ever wanted your ownCloud?
Akademy is a great time to meet people and understand some of the exciting new projects and buzzwords in KDE. One project that has been generating a lot of interest recently is ownCloud, the KDE cloud computing project launched by Frank Karlitschek. We caught up with Frank to understand ownCloud better, find out about the current status, and plans for the future.
Hi Frank, thanks for taking the time to talk to us. So, ownCloud had its 1.0 release a few weeks ago - what's the current status?
You have talked about the need for users to control their own data and how it is important to use Free Software in the cloud. How does ownCloud relate to the likes of Facebook, Google Docs and Diaspora?
So is ownCloud web based or desktop based?
Is ownCloud for end users or a platform for others to build on?
How much interest has there been in ownCloud from KDE and the wider Free Software community?
What's the connection between ownCloud and the openDesktop network?
Is anyone providing ownCloud as a service, so that the user does not have to run their own installation?
What's next for ownCloud?
Thanks very much Frank. Good luck with ownCloud and your other projects.

Not yet, but work is being done on a syncing client that would give it dropbox-like abilities.

June 16, 2009
LOS ANGELES -- In its second quarterly report of 2009, the UCLA Anderson Forecast upgrades the condition of the national economy, moving it out of "intensive care" while noting that it is still "very sick."
The Forecast sees the gross domestic product improving from negative growth in the second quarter of this year to nearly perceptible growth in the final quarter while acknowledging that this tepid growth will be accompanied by an unemployment rate that will continue to rise well into 2010 and into double digits.
In California, the worst of the recession is beginning to ease, but any optimism must be tempered by the specter of a state government poised to contract at the worst possible time.
The National Forecast
"What we are perhaps most concerned about is not the timing of the recession's end, but rather the shape of the recovery to come," writes UCLA Anderson Forecast senior economist David Shulman in an essay titled "Out of Intensive Care."
"We are forecasting the weakest economic recovery of the postwar era with real growth on the order of 2-3%," Shulman noted.
The Forecast predicts that recovery will be slow due to recession-scarred consumers who will focus on their savings, and the dramatic adjustment in financial services, the automotive industry and the retail sector. The recovery will also be inhibited by the financial excesses of 2003-07 in the form of millions of foreclosed homes and a plague of "upside-down" mortgages.
The Forecast also predicts that, after declining by an estimated 2.9 percent in the current quarter, real GDP growth will be zero in the third quarter of 2009 and 0.6 percent in the year's final three months. Unemployment is predicted to peak at 10.4 percent in 2010 and could still be close to 10 percent by the end of 2011.
The California Forecast
According to UCLA Anderson Forecast senior economist Jerry Nickelsburg, there is nothing happening in California that will help pull the state out of recession in advance of the nation.
"California," Nickelsburg writes, "is in for a continued rough ride for the balance of 2009 and is not going to see economic growth return until the end of the year, shortly after the U.S. economy begins to grow."
The dire conditions surrounding the state budget will prolong tough conditions in California, according to the report.
In his essay, Nickelsburg notes that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is attempting to close the state's $24 billion budget gap with a combination of fee increases, forced borrowing from local government, the sale of state assets and, primarily, budget cuts.
Yet the real risk for California, Nickelsburg writes, is the possibility that there will be no budget agreement at all and that the chaotic and inefficient spending cuts that would likely follow would have an even more severe impact on the ability of California to stem the downturn in economic activity this year.
Overall, the forecast for California is for a very weak first two quarters of 2009, to be followed by very little growth in the last six months of the year. The economy will begin to pick up in 2010 and return to more normal levels of growth in 2011.
The expectation is that total employment will contract by 3.5 percent in 2009 and will not grow in 2010. Once growth returns in 2011, it will rise at 1.8 percent.
About the UCLA Anderson Forecast
The UCLA Anderson Forecast is one of the most widely watched and often-cited economic outlooks for California and the nation and was unique in predicting both the seriousness of the early-1990s downturn in California and the strength of the state's rebound since 1993. More recently, the Anderson Forecast was credited as the first major U.S. economic forecasting group to declare the recession of 2001.

UK Christians Increasingly Sharing Faith on Internet; Call for Training to Harness Tools
Christians in the U.K. are turning increasingly to social media sites like Facebook to share their faith, new research has found.
In a survey on attitudes to online mission by Christian Vision and Premier Christian Media, 64 percent said they were using social networks like Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to share their faith in an intentional way.
Of the 700 Christians surveyed, 84 percent agreed that the online space was a huge mission field. More than two-thirds (71 percent) said they post links to Christian sites or content with missional values, while 73 percent said they intentionally post or link to content in order to share their faith.
Interestingly, the study found that interaction with social media was prolific across the age spectrum, rather than just among young people.
However, younger people are more likely to have non-Christian friends and are more active when it comes to sharing their faith online – 87 percent of 16 to 18-year-olds said they do so intentionally.
Of the total sample, 79 percent agreed that the best way to evangelize was through relationships.
Despite the enthusiasm for social networks, only 25 percent of respondents said their church encouraged online mission, while 78 percent said that churches should be more active in online mission.
The results suggest that although Christians are aware of the opportunities created by the internet, churches may need more encouragement and guidance to embrace the online channels open to them.
Training may not be the only answer, however, as only 40 percent at least somewhat agreed that they would be more willing to share their faith online if they knew of tools and training to help them.
The research was carried out to coincide with the launch of yesHEis.com, a new sharing platform to resource U.K. Christians in sharing their faith using the web.

Compliance Papers
|Med-ic® AND THE PHASE 2 GO/NO GO DECISION?
|Volume 16
Patient compliance data can be highly effective in phase 2 post hoc analyses leading up to the go/no go decision regarding a move to phase 3. Once the phase 2 objectives of assessing safety, tolerability and effectiveness have been met, the question is whether or not to proceed to phase 3 with its considerable resource requirements.
|Volume 15
Health care providers have long known that patients are poorly compliant with recommended treatment, but the extent of non-compliance has only become apparent during the last two decades. An extensive literature now demonstrates that non-compliance is a problem in every area of health care.
|Volume 14
Inertia is difficult to overcome. When IMC introduced the Med-ic® electronic compliance monitor (ECM) nearly a decade ago it represented the potential for a revolution in clinical trials.
|Volume 13
Power, magnitude of treatment effect (effect size) and sample size interact to determine the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of a clinical trial. The object is to determine if the treatment groups differ significantly from each other.
|HOW IS Med-ic® BEING USED IN CLINICAL TRIALS?
|Volume 12
Electronic compliance monitoring (ECM) adds cost to a clinical trial but offers enormous returns on the investment (ROI). How?
|Med-ic® ECM: INCORPORATING THE TECHNICAL CONTROLS FOR 21 CFR Part 11
|Volume 11
Compliance Electronic record keeping has to control for the possibility of data tampering. FDA 21 CFR Part 11 wa, s established in 1997 to govern the use of electronic records and electronic signatures.
|Volume 10
Wireless data transmission is the key to an efficient, flexible information system. It is prerequisite to the development of increasingly comprehensive information and home care systems. Med-ic® and eCAP™ both support wireless data transmission and connectivity.
|Med-ic® AND WIRELESS INTERCONNECTIVITY
|Volume 9
With aging population demographics combined with spiralling health-care costs, cost-reducing measures are the order of the day. Many involve systems that combine existing strategies in novel ways to give cost savings. The key to such systems is wireless interconnectivity – the ability of the various elements to intercommunicate in real-time without physical connections.
|Volume 8
A Risk Evaluation and Mitigation Strategy (REMS) is an FDA-mandated approach to ensuring the safety of medications. The baseline for ensuring the safe use of prescribed medication is professional labelling. REMS applies to situations where professional labelling is considered inadequate to ensure the safe use of a drug or class of drugs.
|Volume 7
The classical approach to decision-making in clinical research is the randomized trial. Patients are assigned to treatment conditions according to sample sizes that are determined a priori by power calculations. The data are not analyzed until the end of the study, at which time assignment codes are typically broken. Most clinical trials employ the Intent to Treat strategy which involves keeping all patients enrolled in the trial to its end. Positive decisions as to drug efficacy generally cannot be made until the study has been completed. Due to the cost and time involved in recruiting and processing subjects, size determination is extremely important. Unfortunately, this relies on two parameters that are rarely available during the study of new drugs – within-subject variability and the estimated magnitude of experimental effect.
|Volume 6
"At some point, perhaps not in the far future, it will seem as wrong to run a clinical trial without compliance measurement as without randomization." B. Efron, Statistics in Medicine, 1998 (17), 249-250.
Of course we are all aware of the central role played by randomization in the clinical research process. Virtually all clinical research employs this technique. However clinicians are generally surprised to hear that the physical sciences get along quite nicely without randomization.
|Volume 5
Clinical trial costs are spiralling out of control. Studies generally estimate the cost of bringing an Investigational new drug (IND) to market at $1B although there is considerable variability in such estimates. Data handling and pickup costs related to patient records account for a staggering 30 percent of drug development costs. This is just the beginning of the cost of non-compliance – for more details, refer to "Medication Non-Compliance", "How Valid Are Your Clinical Trials Data?" and "Are Patient Reports Accurate?"
|Volume 4
All research, including pharmacotherapy, may be viewed in terms of a signal to noise ratio (S/N). In administering a medication, the aim is to maximize the S/N. The signal is the desired clinical effect; the noise comprises a multitude of factors that interfere with, or obscure, the clinical effect. The clinical effect might be reduction in pain, control of seizures, reduction in white cell count, etc. Most of the myriad noise factors come under the category of 'individual differences' in response to medication. Gastrointestinal differences ranging from malabsorption to eating habits, differences in metabolism, concomitant use of alcohol and street drugs, body mass, level of activity, use of herbal remedies, and many other noise factors conspire to obscure the therapeutic effect (signal).
|Volume 3
The problem of having patients determine their own dosing during clinical trials is widely recognized. If data obtained in clinical trials where patients take medication once or twice a day are known to be inaccurate, it follows that data from patients taking medication intermittently over longer intervals will be even less accurate. Such studies generally rely on the patient recording the date and time of self-medication.
|Volume 2
It is widely accepted that patients participating in clinical trials are less than perfectly compliant with their medication regimens. The extent to which non-compliance affects the results of clinical trials is unknown. Several factors mitigate against the assessment of this phenomenon, principal of which is the lack of a methodology to monitor patient compliance in a non-invasive (ie: unbiased) way.
|Volume 1
Health care providers have long known that patients are poorly compliant with recommended treatment. The extent of non-compliance has only become apparent during the last two decades. An extensive literature now demonstrates that non-compliance is a problem in every area of health care. Many non-compliance issues are in the area of clinical pharmacy. With rapid advances in the understanding of the biological bases of medical and psychiatric disorders, pharmacotherapy has become by far the predominant therapeutic approach.

UNIVERSITY PARK – Dan Cohen will give the 2014 Kaplan Institute talk "Inside the Digital Public Library of America" from 2 p.m. – 3 p.m. March 25, in Foster Auditorium, 102 Paterno Library. The presentation is open to the public and will be broadcast live onMediaSite.
Cohen is founding executive director of the Digital Public Library of America (DPLA), which is bringing together the rich resources of America's libraries, archives and museums, and making them freely available to the world. In his talk, he will give a behind the scenes look at how the DPLA was created, how it functions as a portal and platform, what the staff is currently working on, and what's to come for the young project and organization.
Until 2013, Cohen was professor of history in the Department of History and Art History at George Mason University and the director of the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media. His research has been in digital humanities, broadly construed: the impact of new media and technology on all aspects of knowledge, from the nature of digitized resources to 21st century research techniques and software tools to the changing landscape of communication and publication. At the Rosenzweig Center, he has overseen projects ranging from PressForward to the September 11 Digital Archive to the popular Zotero research tool.
His publications include: "Digital History: A Guide to Gathering, Preserving and Presenting the Past on the Web" (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2005), "Equations from God: Pure Mathematics and Victorian Faith" (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2007), "Hacking the Academy (co-editor, University of Michigan Press, 2012) and "The Ivory Tower and the Open Web" (University of Michigan Press, forthcoming).
He is an inaugural recipient of the American Council of Learned Societies' Digital Innovation Fellowship. In 2011 Cohen received the Frederick G. Kilgour Award from the American Library Association for his work in digital humanities. In 2012 Cohen was named one of the top "tech innovators" in academia by The Chronicle of Higher Education.
The Jeremiah Kaplan Institute on Libraries, Information Society and Social Policy is funded through a gift from the Horowitz Foundation for Social Policy in honor of Jeremiah Kaplan (1926–1993), a co-founder of The Free Press (1947) and later president of Macmillan Publishing Company and Simon & Schuster Inc.
The program is free and open to the public,

Intellectual freedom in Canada: Letter to Canadian civil rights lawyer Ezra Levant
I wrote this to Ezra Levant this morning:
Ezra, I wish there was less anti-Semitism among Jews.
The current official Jewish support for "human rights" commissions feels like anti-Semitism to me, as a Catholic Christian, but let me explain:
The Commissions systematically avoid confronting the biggest source of anti-Semitism in Canada - Islamic fascism.
Worse, they actually front these people's causes, as your case and that of Mark Steyn showed.
Worse still (given how you yourself have suffered, I hope you will not mind me saying this) are the suspicious deaths of women who become unwanted in a Middle Eastern-origin culture. Why should THAT not be the concern of the Commissions? I am told they are too "busy."
Yes, they are, but with what?
The Commissions enormously hassle Catholic and Protestant clergy who say - and it happens to be true - that traditional Christianity is not compatible with the gay lifestyle, but I digress.
Except, I don't really digress. When all this trouble is laid at our doors, one hardly likes to hear that official organizations of other faiths support it.
And remember, we don't even have a choice about being in the fight. The Catholic Church simply cannot teach that the gay lifestyle is appropriate for Christians. If priests must go to jail, so be it, but who will thank anyone for abetting that?
I think that the major Jewish organizations need a complete change of top personnel, replacing them with people with modern thinking about the key issues.
As things are, they are loafing along, never where the real action is, never where "Death to the Jews" marches are. A Catholic friend went down to protest that. I couldn't, due to a family member's illness, but I wonder how many of these Official Jews showed up?
Human rights commissions should get entirely out of the business of policing either religion or the media in Canada, and I would expect the new Jewish leadership to support that.
Then they are free to deal with genuine, specific threats to Jews in Canada.
That'll be tough for the New Brooms because they won't be dealing merely with basement apartment losers and Internet Nazis.
But hey, if you are a Jew and you value your life, it is worth your dime to support a thorough housecleaning.

Chamber History
The Chamber's early history is recorded in the following manner in Elizabeth Porter's book, "A History of Wetumpka", page 166. "The Chamber of Commerce is not one of the oldest civic organizations of Wetumpka, but it is one of the strongest, being composed of men who are also members of one of the three civic luncheon clubs. These men have confidence in Wetumpka and feel that it is really helping any one who is looking for a place in which to locate an industry to show him the advantages that he can have by locating it here." "The Chamber of Commerce has entered its fifth year; it was organized in 1952 with Ellis Austin as its first president. Mac Freeman was president the second year; in its third year Judson Landrum, Sr., served as president; Mrs. J. L. Young is the executive secretary." "The board of directors is composed of ten men who meet monthly. There is an annual dinner for the entire membership. Two interesting brochures containing valuable information about Wetumpka have been published, and another brochure is in the making. The membership of this organization is composed of men who are capable and enthusiastic, men who have faith in the future of Wetumpka. In 1956, at the annual dinner for the club, Tom McDow was elected president. He was also elected "Man of the Year." This meeting of 1956 proved to be a very enthusiastic meeting as many plans were made for bringing in new industries. In 1957 Silas Martin was elected president and Mac Freeman, Jr., "The Man-of-the-Year." In 1987, the committee to reestablish the Wetumpka Chamber of Commerce was set in motion at the behest of then Mayor Jeanette Barrett. She commissioned a four man committee composed of Bill Gray, Art Bolin, John Lazenby, and Ferrell Long to prepare the organizational structure. The Wetumpka Merchants Association, led by Jack DeVenney became a part of the Chamber organizational project. The committee set about to organize and filed incorporation papers on February 24, 1989, to establish the Wetumpka Area Chamber of Commerce. By Laws had become official on February 3, 1989, and William M. Gray served as the first elected president through March, 1988. Alma Leak, assistant to Mayor Jeanette Barrett acted as the Chief Staff Executive with headquarters located in the Alternatives building at 110 East Bridge Street. The Chamber incorporated as a 501 (c) (6) and contributions to a 501(c)(6) are not tax deductible as charitable contributions, but they may be deductible as a trade or business expense.The first year saw inclusion of approximately 50 charter members in the organization. Janice Cash was hired as Executive Secretary in December, 1989, and the Chamber's new home became 108 Company Street and later still 108 East Bridge Street. Jackson Thornton & Company, Principal Dennis Fain, has faithfully provided the services for accounting, reporting, and auditing throughout the life of the Chamber. Jan Wood came on board in December, 1992 and began to concentrate on visibility, growth, and community impact. Lacking the big dollars to recruit in the industrial market, the Chamber has sought to forge its role as promoter—especially of attractions, tourism, and retiree relocation. The Chamber is a nerve center for information for tourism and business referral, with its chief responsibility being to provide the venue or format for local business and community leaders to meet together to share information and promote community interests and projects. Early in 1995, the Chamber sought a permanent home and gathered commitment from its membership, made a leap of faith and purchased the historic building at 110 East Bridge Street where it had residence in 1987. This two story white masonry location originally constructed in 1905 of limestone was the Bank of Wetumpka. After the demise of the bank in the years of the Depression, the historic building served to house a variety of business ventures—barber and beauty shops, jewelry store, insurance and accounting offices, gift shop, restaurant and eatery, drug prevention and treatment program and finally, June 1, 1995, as the home of The Wetumpka Area Chamber of Commerce.
Since that date the Chamber has promoted various fund raising efforts to support the improvement and repair of the building in such a manner as to maintain its historical integrity. Major projects have included replacing the roof, painting the interior, placing marble tile front steps, repairing window framing, cleaning and painting the exterior surface and awnings, and polishing and reinstalling the sliding copper and brass doors at the front entrance. In 2005 and in 2016, new carpet and furnishings were added to the building.
The growth of Chamber participation and membership has been substantial with broad based participation ranging from retired individuals who seek to serve their community to the largest high-tech manufacturing firms located in our area. In 2012, Executive Director Jan Wood retired, and Vanessa Lynch was hired as Executive Director and created 'Craterfest" an annual family music festival to replace "Riverfest". In 2014, a major capital campaign was initiated for the renovation of the entire Chamber block in which, 1.4 million was raised and the Wetumpka Business and Innovation Center was established next door to the Chamber. It's purpose serves as a small business incubator with affordable rental space and mentoring for new businesses.
It is our desire to be responsive to the perceived needs and wishes of the area citizenry as well as our mission to promote the best and most equitable economic endeavors for the City of Wetumpka and Elmore County.

Orion slave girls (also known as Orion animal women) were female Orions who were very popular "commodities," trafficked through the slavemarkets of the Orion Syndicate.
In 2152, Zoumas recalled to Charles "Trip" Tucker, while they were on an Enolian transport together, how he himself had once spent two hours with an Orion slave girl. This story was among many Zoumas told Tucker, to the point of driving Tucker to become irritated with how much Zoumas was talking to him. (ENT: "Canamar")
The next year, Tellarite bounty hunter Skalaar commented to Captain Jonathan Archer that, if rival bounty hunter Kago-Darr managed to collect a reward the Klingons were offering for the capture of Archer, Kago-Darr would probably spend it on Orion slave girls, an expenditure Skalaar considered a "waste." If he managed to obtain the reward himself, on the other hand, he planned not to spend it on Orion slave girls but would instead spend it on buying back Tezra, a freighter he previously owned. (ENT: "Bounty")
In 2154, some Enterprise crew members wound up as commodities themselves, at a processing station on Verex III. When Captain Archer expressed surprise that the Orions would sell their own kind, Arik Soong told him the females were "known for their extreme appetites, their innate skills." The Verex market's Orion slaver had even sold his last wife. (ENT: "Borderland")
Later that year, the secret of the Orion slave girls' irresistibility was discovered when the slave sisters Navaar, D'Nesh, and Maras were presented to Captain Archer, ostensibly to improve relations between Earth and the Orions. Their presence became a major distraction to the crew of Enterprise due – it turned out – to the powerful pheromones which they were releasing. It was revealed that Orion females were not enslaved at all, but rather the enslavers, and the sisters were active agents in a plot to capture Enterprise for the Orion Syndicate. (ENT: "Bound")
In the 2250s, Captain Pike had some personal experience of Orion culture to weigh against Starfleet's 23rd century scientific insights. In 2254, his fantasy of doing business on the Orion colony at one point came to include Vina in the form of an "animal woman". (TOS: "The Cage", "The Menagerie, Part II") One of his fantasized guests remarked that the natives of the colony were "funny" because they "actually like being taken advantage of." (TOS: "The Cage")
By the 24th century, Orion slave girls had become quite popular characters in holosuite programs. (DS9: "The Begotten", "In the Pale Moonlight")
While in the brig aboard the USS Honshu in 2374, Dukat casually requested a bottle of kanar and an Orion slave girl to help him pass the time. (DS9: "Waltz")
Background information Edit
The Orion slave girls were first conceived in the story outline for "The Cage", as "sinuous green dancing girls" of Protos VI, who danced barefooted along with Vina, though she herself was not technically said to be one of them. (The Making of Star Trek, p. 58)
In the second revised final draft script of "The Cage" (which contained Captain James Winter rather than Captain Pike), the appearance of Vina as an Orion slave girl was described thus; "Wild! Green skin, glistening as if oiled. Her fingertips are long gleaming razor-edged scimitars, her hair not unattractive but suggesting a wild animal mane." After her eyes were also stated to be "wild," the script continued, "We feel she's larger than before, immensely strong […] Now dancing wildly, animal beautiful […] The green, animal Vina […] seeming taller than Winter, perhaps even stronger."
Manny Coto once admitted that, prior to becoming largely responsible for the appearance of Orion slave girls in ENT Season 4, he had "always been fascinated with […] the Orion slave girls." ("Before Her Time: Decommissioning Enterprise, Part Two: Memorable Voyages", ENT Season 4 Blu-ray special features)
In the final draft script of ENT: "Bound", the Orion slave girls in that installment were described as "stunningly beautiful."
Commenting on the existence of Orions on Earth in the alternate reality, Roberto Orci suggested that there might be "an underground railroad and some of the [Orion Slave Girls] got out and they were sold to freedom…" [1]

Carrot season is upon us! Depending on your growing zone, you may be selecting, sowing or harvesting a tasty carrot crop at this time. Actually, carrot season is nearly always upon us; this is part of what makes it such a beloved garden staple. Due to the carrot's long storage ability and its cold hardiness, one can enjoy fresh local carrots just about all season long. Hurray!
What's not to love about these nutrient dense root vegetables? They add color to the winter palette, they are high in antioxidants and can aid in digestion and dental health. Carrots come in a wide range of colors, and each hue has a host of specific nutritional benefits. Consider growing a carrot rainbow in your garden this season to harness the health promoting properties of each color.
The domesticated carrot that we know today originated in Afghanistan 1,100 years ago. Those original carrot ancestors were not orange, as one might expect, but yellow and purple. The cultivation of carrots spread east and west from Afghanistan, with red and purple carrots becoming most popular in Asia, and yellow and eventually orange carrots dominating in Europe.
Red carrots originated in India and China, and are high in lycopene, an antioxidant also present in tomatoes and watermelons. Lycopene has been linked to the prevention of cancers including prostate and breast cancer. Lycopene is also beneficial to heart health and the prevention of heart disease, keep in mind that this healthful antioxidant must bind to a fat molecule in order to be taken up and used in your body. The Atomic Red carrot is a vivid red colored variety that has a spicy flavor to it. Try roasting Atomic Red carrots in olive oil to harness the heath benefits of the lycopene.
Yellow carrots originated in the Middle East, and contain high levels of lutein and xanthophyll, which are both linked to eye health, including the prevention of cataracts and macular degeneration. Studies have shown that carrots, particularly yellow and orange colored varieties, have a strong impact on the prevention of cardiovascular disease. The Amarillo carrot has a brilliant yellow color and sweet flavor; these make a great fresh eating snack carrot.
White carrots are of European origin, and were the European precursor to the orange carrot. White carrots are an excellent source of fiber, which helps to fight against colon cancer. Phytochemicals present in white carrots may also be helpful in reducing the risk of build-up in the arteries as well as preventing some cancers. Snow White is a favorite white variety that has an incredible mild and sweet flavor.
Purple carrots have the most ancient carrot pigment. The ancestral carrots grown in Afghanistan were a similar hue. Purple carrots present a host of benefits. They are high in anthocyanin (although not as high as the black carrot); they also have been shown to be a good source of fiber and to help lower cholesterol. Purple carrots have anti-inflammatory properties, as well as anti-carcinogenic properties, which help to reduce the risk of cancer. Because they contain high amounts of vitamin A, they can help to prevent clogging of arteries. Cosmic Purple carrots are the best tasting purple variety available. They have a spicy-sweet flavor that makes them an outstanding fresh eating variety, and they are no doubt one of the most beautiful carrots around.
The Orange carrot has obviously withstood the test of time as having the most popular carrot color. The orange colored carrot was first bred in the Netherlands in the 17th century. Orange carrots are famous for their high levels of betacarotene, which is converted to Vitamin A in the body and helps with vision health. Vitamin A also helps the white blood cells fight infections.The Oxheart carrot is a delicious old French variety that is a great keeper, and the short stout shape makes it a perfect carrot variety for dense clayey or rocky soil.
Last but not least, the real unsung hero in the carrot rainbow is the color green, I am referring to the carrot tops of course; they are edible and very good for you. They are high in vitamin K, which is crucial for bone health; they are also extremely potassium rich which can help to lower blood pressure and help prevent osteoporosis. Carrot greens are usually overlooked or considered poisonous (wrong!). This in such a shame. Why waste these nutrient packed greens when they make a lovely addition to salads and benefit your health.
So this season when selecting carrot varieties, consider adding a range of colors to jazz up your crudite, and bolster your immune system.There is no time like the present to give your soil a good fluff and start dreaming up your rainbow carrot patch.

Space station barney kicks off in India
Constructive debate, we're sure
It has cost billions upon billions and it isn't finished yet, but partners in the International Space Station project are already arguing about when it should be shut down, according to AFP reports.
The various agencies' positions are as follows: In the red corner (not political statement, just a handy colour) we have NASA, which says it has no plans to do anything at all with the ISS for more than five years after its completion. In the blue corner, we have European Space Agency (ESA), which says (roughly) if NASA is going, it won't be picking up the budgetary slack.
In the green corner, Russia wants the station's life to be extended. The remaining partners, Japan and Canada, are not showing their cards quite yet.
The Europeans are not happy, however, with the US plans to pull out. According to pundits, ESA takes the view that five years is too short a period to run the ISS, given the enormous investment. But since the US picks up the lion's share of the running costs, NASA is calling the shots.
Speaking at the astronautics congress in Hyderabad, southern India, ESA chief Jean-Jacques Dordain said: "If NASA is staying, we are ready to follow. If NASA is quitting, I shall not propose to ESA to pay part of the cost that NASA is covering today. ESA is not prepared to pay NASA's share when NASA has left the space station."
NASA estimates that it spends roughly $2.3bn of its annual budget just keeping the space station running. Now that the political emphasis in Washington has shifted so emphatically towards manned space exploration generally, and the moon in particular, NASA clearly has an incentive to focus beyond low-Earth orbit. The space agency says lunar bases are the future platforms for manned exploration of our solar system. ®

NEW YORK (AP) - When Aden Young cracked open the script for 'Rectify,' he thought, 'Oh, here we go again: another guy released from Death Row.'
But he kept reading, and within a few pages 'I realized this script had some sort of solid anchor. That anchor was Ray and his unique take on life.'
Solidly anchored by creator-writer Ray McKinnon, this six-hour miniseries (whose first two hours air on Sundance Channel on Monday at 9 p.m. EDT) tells a unique story about a man who was caged for two decades for the rape and murder of his teenage girlfriend. Then, when his conviction is vacated thanks to new DNA evidence, he is restored to an outside world that proves just as harrowing.
'Just because he's getting out doesn't mean this thing is over,' Daniel Holden's lawyer warns his family as they wait outside the prison walls for his return to them and the Southern hometown he no longer knows.
Holden is played with poignant spareness by Young, an Australian actor whose credits include 'Killer Elite' with Robert De Niro and Clive Owen, the TV series 'The Starter Wife' and the upcoming film adaptation of graphic novel 'I, Frankenstein,' in which he stars as Dr. Frankenstein.
'Every now and then something comes along that speaks to your personal rhythm,' says Young by phone from Sydney. 'I felt there was almost a necessity for me to play Daniel.'
McKinnon felt a necessity of his own to write 'Rectify.'
An actor best known for his role as Reverend Smith in the HBO series 'Deadwood' and as Lincoln Potter, a psycho lawman on the FX drama 'Sons of Anarchy,' McKinnon is also a filmmaker who shared a 2001 Oscar for the short film 'The Accountant,' which he produced and starred in alongside his actress wife, the late Lisa Blount, and longtime friend Walton Goggins ('Justified').
The dynamics of family fascinate McKinnon, as he explains by phone from Florida, where the Little Rock, Ark., native was visiting his sister. Another object of interest: how the legal system can go terribly awry.
'I kept thinking about society's need for order, sometimes in lieu of justice,' he says. 'If something heinous happens, we want to feel like we can find and root out the evil that caused it. But the pressure to do that can cloud our judgment.
'One day, I just decided to write something about all that, and see if it would manifest.'
Loss is the overriding theme of 'Rectify.' Loss is felt everywhere: the town's loss of fragile equilibrium upon Daniel's disruptive return; the loss, still being felt painfully, of the murdered girl; the irrecoverable loss of decades in prison by Daniel. He is truly a lost soul.
'But there was also the lightness of being that I wanted to present as a part of his experience,' says McKinnon.
With halting laughter, Daniel screens a comedy on a DVD player with his young half-brother Jared (Jake Austin Walker). He registers amazement at finding a drink at the convenience store called SmartWater, earnestly asking the cashier if it works.
He relishes a sunset on a drive out in the country with his devoted sister, Amantha (Abigail Spencer), then asks her, 'We're lost, aren't we?' She replies with a rueful smile, 'Totally.'
'Rectify' is part of a new initiative by Sundance, known primarily for unscripted films, to break into scripted drama. It is the network's first wholly owned scripted production.
Filmed in Griffin, near Atlanta, the series has gathered a splendid cast that also includes J. Smith Cameron as Daniel's mother, Clayne Crawford as his wary stepbrother, and Adelaide Clemens as the stepbrother's devout, all-forgiving wife.
But the key casting choice, not surprisingly, was the actor to play Daniel.
'Aden is a different kind of cat as an artist,' says McKinnon. 'He goes down his own path, which translates well for his character.'
Daniel's reception spans the spectrum from tearful gratitude to contempt and threats to a pledge from the man who prosecuted him to reopen the case. There is much talk in his town of 'all that he's been through,' but Daniel is still going through it.
For nearly 20 years in isolation, Daniel says he found reality in 'the time between the seconds. But now that I'm here in this world, where everything's marked by hours or dates or events, I find myself in a state of constant anticipation. What it is I'm anticipating, I'm not always sure.'
Somehow Young locates this uncertain state as Daniel and infects the audience with this same anticipation.
But the performance didn't come easily for Young any more than for the rest of the cast.
'Calibration was such a big part of all these characters,' says McKinnon. 'We talked a lot about that: how much to reveal and when to reveal it, and when not to reveal it and let tension build.'
'As it progresses,' says Young, 'the tensions become more and more pronounced, because there's so much at stake - not only for Daniel and his family, but also for the town itself, having to deal with all the beliefs about the crime that have come to define the town: Was Daniel innocent all along? Or is he still guilty and getting away with murder?'
Those beliefs, entrenched and at odds, seem to matter more than the elusive truth.
But what about that truth: Did Daniel do it?
'We always try to frame an experience, but sometimes life doesn't have a frame,' says McKinnon, steering clear of any answer - as the series deftly does.
Asked the same question about the character he plays, Young replies, 'I'd love to be able to tell you exactly how I feel, but in doing so, it'd be like showing you the notes in the margins of my script - and I'm hiding that in a drawer.'
'Anyway,' his interviewer allows, 'it's none of my damn business.'
'That was my intended subtext,' says Young with a laugh.

Boston College Theatre Department Presents Steve Martin's PICASSO AT THE LAPIN AGILE Beginning 1/30
The Boston College Theatre Department presents the first play of the spring semester: the acclaimed comedy Picasso at the Lapin Agile. Written by iconic comedian Steve Martin, the production is directed by BC senior and theater major Shannon DeBari. It will be presented, in the Bonn Studio Theater of BC's Robsham Theater Arts Center, from January 30 through February 2, 2013.
In the play, Martin-an acclaimed actor, musician, author, playwright and producer-explores the idea of what would happen if two geniuses, Albert Einstein and Pablo Picasso, were to meet just as each was about to set the world on fire: Einstein as he is about to publish his "General Theory of Relativity" and Picasso as he is about to leave his "Blue" period. It examines some of life's most difficult topics, like love and happiness.
"I love the absurd humor in this show coupled with the history of the characters and the Lapin Agile, an actual bar in Paris that was home to artists and progressive thinkers in the 1900s and is still around today," says DeBari. "I was fascinated by the possibility that Einstein and Picasso may have actually met at this bar in 1904 and exchanged ideas right before their inevitable fame."
Martin first started writing comedy for the Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour (1967-68), and won an Emmy in 1969. A writer for the Sonny and Cher Show (1972-73), he also performed stand-up in local clubs and appeared on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. His big break came as a guest host on NBC's Saturday Night Live in 1977, when his offbeat and irreverent humor made him a celebrity. In 1979, he starred in a full-length feature film, The Jerk, the first of many successful movies. A frequent contributor to The New Yorker, Martin published the acclaimed novella Shopgirl in 2001; it was adapted to film in 2005.
In addition to director DeBari, the Boston College Theatre Department Workshop production features an all-student design team: Chelsea Palumo '14 (scenery), Pingwei Li '13 (costumes), Ben Wilson '14 (lights) and Pat Scherer '13 (sound). Sarah Krantz '15 is the Stage Manager. The cast includes Chris Gouchoe '13 as Picasso, Billy McEntee '14 as Einstein, Tim Kopacz '13 as Freddy, Sarah Goldstein '13 as Germaine, Sarah Mass '15 as Suzanne, Leo Magrini '13 as Gaston, Tom Brown '13 as Sagot, Pat Lazour '13 as Schmendimen, Christine Movius '13 as the Countess and Joe Meade '15 as Elvis.
The production opens on Wednesday, January 30, 2013 at 7:30 p.m. and runs through Saturday, February 2, 2013 in the Bonn Studio of the Robsham Theater Arts Center. General admission tickets are $15, $10 for students, seniors, and BC faculty and staff. Tickets are available online at www.bc.edu/theatre, through the RTAC Box Office, or by calling 617?552?4002. For more information, please go to www.bc.edu/theatre.
BOSTON COLLEGE THEATRE DEPARTMENT ? In 1865, two years after Boston College opened, theatre began at BC. It continued for many years as a student activity under the aegis of the Dramatics Society. In the early 1970s the College of Arts and Sciences established a theater major as part of the Department of Speech, Communications and Theatre. The Robsham Theater Arts Center opened in 1981 as the center of theater production on campus. In 1993 the Theatre Department was established as an independent department. Since then, both the academic and production programs have grown steadily in terms of faculty staff, theater majors, course offerings, and the quality and quantity of productions. For more information go to www.bc.edu/theatre.
