Most plastic pollution at sea starts out on land as litter on beaches, streets and sidewalks. Rain or overwatering flushes that litter through a storm drain system or directly to creeks, streams and rivers that lead to the ocean. After plastics enter the marine environment they slowly photodegrade into smaller pieces that marine life can mistake for food, sometimes with fatal results. Ocean gyres concentrate plastic pollution in five main areas of the world's ocean and various research groups are bringing back alarming data documenting plastics impacts.
Simple local actions can help make an impact to solve this global issue. Join us in protecting the coast and Rise Above Plastics! Check out the resources on these 'RAP' program pages, then get involved with your local Surfrider Foundation Chapter to help protect the coasts and oceans.
It's in our homes, our offices, our vehicles, our yards, our playgrounds. We use it to package food, bottle products, bag produce, make dinnerware and utensils, make toys....
Plastics have undoubtedly helped us to manufacture, package and ship goods more easily, for less money, and in some cases more safely than ever before.
But, plastics pose a significant threat to our planet as well.
Part of the problem is plastic itself. The very qualities that make it an adaptable and durable product to use, also make plastic an environmental nightmare. You see, plastics do not biodegrade. Instead they photodegrade - breaking down under exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays, into smaller and smaller pieces.
Bottom line: with the exception of the small amount that has been incinerated, virtually every piece of plastic that was ever made still exists in some shape or form.
To reduce the impacts of plastics in the marine environment by raising awareness about the dangers of plastic pollution and by advocating for a reduction of single-use plastics and the recycling of all plastics.
We encourage YOU to help address these globlal issues locally with plastic reductions at home, school, work and for your entire community:
Check out the Rise Above Plastics Activist Toolkit under the 'Resources' tab for detailed tips and ideas.
Here are ten easy things you can do to reduce your 'plastic footprint' and help keep plastics out of the marine environment:
Help reduce plastic waste in your community with the Rise Above Plastics Activist Toolkit! This is a step by step guide to creating positive change in your community through reducing single-use plastics. The RAP Toolkit is focused on establishing a plastic bag ban or similar ordinance and it also offers insight on increasing awareness of plastic pollution issues through education and outreach.

Surfrider Foundation has launched a new program to recognize restaurants that employ practices friendly to our ocean and coasts. A main goal is eliminating EPS foam foodware (aka Styrofoam) because it is a top item found at our beach cleanups. There are other types of pollution and issues that restaurants can help with so we added criteria such as conserving water and serving responsible food. To learn more please visit our Ocean Friendly Restaurants website.
Surfrider Foundation's Hold On To Your Butt program aims to raise awareness about the environmental impact of cigarette butt litter on our ocean, waves and beaches, and to help eliminate cigarette butt litter at the beach and in the ocean. Cigarette butts account for approximately one in every five items collected during beach cleanups. Often littered on our sidewalks and streets, they end up in our storm drains, flowing to our streams, rivers, bays, lagoons and ultimately the ocean. To learn more please visit our Beachapedia page.

Cornelius Maneaux with his two sons, Cornelius Jr., 17 and Jason, 14 are profiled in the new online documentary, "Healing Histories."
"Healing Histories" part of foundation's Racial Healing Initiative
The W.K. Kellogg Foundation has announced the launch of its newest project, "Healing Histories," an online interactive documentary that calls on Americans to engage in a dialogue around racial equity and racial healing.
The documentary zeroes in on the Central City neighborhood of New Orleans, where citizens young and old, and black and white, reflect on the legacies of racism and segregation and the impact today on gaining access to adequate health care, education and jobs. Equally important, though, residents share inspirational stories about how neighbors are coming together to improve life for the next generation.
"Healing Histories" takes an innovative approach to storytelling. Unlike most documentaries, it's interactive. Visitors to the site can choose which videos to watch, which interviews to hear and which photographs to view, as if touring a museum and deciding to go down one corridor rather than another. Stories focus on the community's history, homes, neighbors, culture and jobs.
In the years ahead, the ambitious multimedia project will fan out across the country to capture stories about racial issues facing New Mexico, Mississipi and other priority communities the foundation has identified. This story and the racial healing movement it represents is even more important in light of recent news stories such as the Trayvon Martin case and the death of Rodney King.
Among those featured is Carol Bebelle, Executive Director of the Ashe Cultural Arts Center. Bebelle started the Center with a firm belief in the power of combining the intentions of neighborhood and economic development with the awesome creative forces of community, culture and art to revive and reclaim a historically significant corridor in Central City.
Tamara Jackson is President of SAPC Task Force, a Central City second line band. As a child, Tamara Jackson knew the first time she heard the rich sound of a brass band horn blow that she wanted to be a part of New Orlean's famous second line bands. Now, as president of one of Central City's Second Line bands she works with the community to engage youth in playing, listening, and appreciating music as a means of celebrating their past.
Cornelius Maneaux, pictured in the top photo with his sons, is a life long Central City resident, and a first time home owner in Central City. After buying his home he became more invested in ensuring that his community was safe for his children. With a fellow neighbor, he formed a neighborhood organization and worked with police in order to establish a regular walk to reduce violence on his block. He's a believer that the mentality needs to change so that police and local leaders aren't viewed as the enemy.

Some say purchasing rules lock out important IT talent.
With the federal government's Healthcare.gov website still riddled with problems three weeks after its debut, President Barack Obama took to the Rose Garden on Monday in an attempt to stop the bleeding. Meanwhile, a growing chorus of observers is pointing to the federal procurement process as a key contributor to the site's botched launch.
Problems with the federal online health insurance marketplace at first appeared to be start-up glitches combined with higher-than-anticipated traffic levels. But nagging software issues continue to frustrate users, suggesting deeper trouble with the site. At the very least, the rocky launch has become a public relations nightmare for the president and his signature health-care reform law.
"There's no sugarcoating it," Obama said at a Rose Garden event with supporters of the health-care overhaul. "It's fair to say that nobody is more frustrated by that than I am. ... There's no excuse for the problems, and these problems are getting fixed."
Obama said a team of top private-sector tech experts was working around the clock to fix Healthcare.gov, though he and his staff declined to name the companies that are involved. On Sunday, a blog post from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services promised a "tech surge" aimed at solving "some of the more complex technical issues we are encountering." The blog added that coding changes already made to the site have "greatly improved" the user experience.
Bad System
As the feds struggled to fix the site, others focused on what went wrong. Netscape co-founder Marc Andreessen, now a Silicon Valley venture capitalist, complained to Politico on Monday that complex procurement rules lock out some of the nation's best IT talent from federal contracts.
"The government has accreted over the last 30 years contracting rules and regulations that make it impossible" for Silicon Valley companies to compete for projects in Washington, he said. "So you've wired the system basically to prohibit the people who really know what's going on."
Former federal CIO Vivek Kundra, now an executive for Salesforce.com, echoed some of those concerns, telling The Wall Street Journal, "It seems like with Healthcare.gov, a set of decisions were made at the agency level that aren't in line with how modern technology is deployed."
Kundra added that a lack of technology leadership at the agency level leads to an "inability to execute" on federal IT projects.
A report in The Washington Post on Monday seemed to back up the claim that the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) – the agency in charge of running the health insurance exchange – struggled to manage the complex, high-pressure deployment. Citing an unnamed source close to the Healthcare.gov project, the Post said the CMS assumed the task of overseeing all 55 contractors involved in the project and failed to ensure that all pieces of the complex site were working together in time for the Oct. 1 launch.
Under a Microscope
CMS was joined on the hot seat by CGI Federal, the prime contractor for Healthcare.gov. Clay Johnson, a Presidential Innovation Fellow who now heads a tech startup called the Department of Better Technology, was critical of both the contractor and the contracting process.
"The problem here isn't just the result of bad programming," he wrote in a Monday blog post. "It's the result of bad systems and bad architecture from the get-go."
Others took aim at the firm's insider status in the insular world of federal procurement. InfoWorld, for instance, led an Oct. 14 story on Healthcare.gov with this: "The biggest problem with Healthcare.gov seems simple enough: It was built by people who are apparently far more familiar with government cronyism than they are with IT."
Linda Odorisio, vice president of U.S. communications for CGI, said in a statement released to media outlets on Monday that "CMS and its other contractors, are working around the clock toward the improvement of Healthcare.gov, a system that is complex, ambitious and unprecedented. We remain confident in our ability to deliver continuous improvement in system performance and a more positive user experience."
Bloomberg News, citing an unnamed source familiar with the project, noted that the CMS didn't give CGI final technical requirements for Healthcare.gov until May — as a result, about a third of the work already performed by the contractor had to be redone.
No Gloating
State-run health insurance exchanges have been widely credited with outperforming the federal health insurance marketplace. But state CIOs meeting at the NASCIO Annual Conference last week in Philadelphia were sympathetic to their federal counterparts.
"I think they had a good deal more complexity than state health exchanges had," said Carolyn Parnell, CIO of Minnesota, which launched its own exchange Oct. 1 and created more than 6,000 user accounts during the first week of operation. Not only is the federal government running the online insurance marketplace used by 34 states, it's also running the central information hub used by all states to check eligibility of health-care customers.
Michael Cockrill, CIO of Washington, said the 16 states that opted to build their own health insurance exchanges are now seeing that decision pay off.
"When states made a choice to go with the federal exchange, I think they missed the fact that the feds had to solve maybe 30 different business problems," he said. "States only had to solve business problem. That problem was very complex and very sophisticated – but it was just one."

Yann Martel is back in animal allegory with Beatrice and Virgil, a tale about a dead donkey and a stuffed monkey that might be a stand-in for the Holocaust, might be an extended examination of writer's block, might be a plea on behalf of disappearing wildlife or might be an argument for using art to reveal the truth of history.
This is Martel's long-awaited third novel, following 2002's Life of Pi which won the Man Booker Prize and widespread acclaim. Pi, a story about a young castaway in a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger, examined some weighty ideas as well but it was, ultimately, a charming and accessible book. Beatrice and Virgil is accessible, at times beautiful, but not exactly charming.
A writer named Henry has worked for five years on the book to follow his award-winning, bestselling second novel that features wild animals and…So we know that Martel took five years to write this book but wait, it's not that easy. The fictional author has hoped to capture the Holocaust in a flip book—one-half fiction and one-half essay. His publishers crush that idea and he crawls into a depression that keeps his hands off the keys and his mind occupied with waiting on customers at a café, working in an amateur theatrical group, taking long walks with his shelter dog and sitting for hours petting his shelter cat. His wife is an industrious and practical soul who interjects a note of sanity once in a while and retains her self-protective instincts.
Henry continues to receive fan mail for the successful book that he dutifully answers. One envelope contains a highlighted version of a Flaubert story about torturing animals and a few sides of a script about talking animals who are describing the experience of a pear. The scripted animals are lifted straight from Waiting for Godot—their conversation has the same irresistible cadence and logic, their personalities contain a vulnerable childlike quality that endears them. Eventually we learn–in dialog and stage directions that evoke Nazi Germany and the extermination of the Jews–that Beatrice and Virgil are starving to death and trying to escape torturers and murderers. The package contains a three-line plea for help and is signed by someone named Henry, surname illegible.
Blocked-writer Henry tracks down playwright-Henry and discovers a wondrous taxidermy shop with a taciturn octogenarian owner-taxidermist, a collection of rare and endangered fauna that could outclass a natural history museum, a stuffed duo named Beatrice, the donkey, and Virgil, a red howler monkey, who are guides not unlike Dante's through an imagined heaven and an experienced hell.
The writing is marvelous. The sad scenes are heartbreaking. The mounting sense of evil is disturbing. The excruciating detail observed is revelatory and impressive. The extreme borrowing from Beckett is a treasure because Beckett did it so well, but somewhat off-putting because Beckett did it so well. I hated the end. The end was, to me, melodramatic, abrupt and out of sync with the rest of the book and the gradual emergence of meaning. After the main tale ends, a coda of thirteen hideous riddles–"games" supplied at the taxidermist's request by blocked-writer Henry–returns the focus to the Holocaust and resonates more evenly with the rest of the book.
Martel has a son named Theo, the name Henry gives to his newborn son in the book. Martel has a scholar's grab bag of impressive literary references, as do his characters. Martel can write a scene of torture and subjugation that will take your skin off. Still, Life of Pi was satisfying, erudite and oddly magical. Beatrice and Virgil is fluid but difficult and disjointed. Maybe it's the uncomfortable subject matter—the "Horrors" of the donkey and the monkey stand in for specific genocidal horrors of our own society. The animals pass the time minutely observing the world around them, bringing the observed and the remembered to vivid life. Martel makes the point that when we fail to really see, we too easily destroy. A skinny book—a mercy to a time-challenged daily reader–but not an easy read.

Michael Corenblith is grateful for the rolling hills of Simi Valley.
The production designer on Disney's "Saving Mr. Banks" relied heavily on the 10,000-acre Big Sky Ranch in the Ventura County city to help re-create the childhood home of P.L. Travers, the "Mary Poppins" novelist at the center of the film.
The just-released movie starring Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson tells the story of Walt Disney's relationship with Travers and flashbacks on her tough childhood growing up in the Australian outback.
Disney had considered filming part of the movie in Australia, but ultimately decided to shoot virtually all the movie in Los Angeles (except for one day in London). That was possible because the ranch's open landscape proved remarkably similar to the Australian outback of P.L. Travers' childhood a century ago.
Big Sky, famously depicted in the TV series "Little House on the Prairie," even had Australian sheep and some of the same foliage found in sheep farms in Queensland, likely the result of seeds brought over in the hooves of the imported sheep decades ago.
"That was a miraculous thing," said Corenblith, who also worked on "Frost Nixon" and "Apollo 13." "For the last 50 years, the site was slowly being prepared for us."
The Big Sky Ranch, about 40 miles northwest of downtown Los Angeles, was one of several locations used during nine weeks of shooting late last year, including Disneyland, the Los Angeles County Aboretum & Botanical Garden in Arcadia, the former Grauman's Chinese Theatre, the Langham Huntington and the Disney Studios lot in Burbank.
Relying on photos of Travers' actual home in Allora, Australia, Corenblith reconstructed a replica of the house at the Big Sky Ranch, previously used in the HBO series "Carnivale."
Other Aussie scenes were filmed on the back lot of Universal Studios, Heritage Square Museum and the Pacific Southwest Railway Museum in San Diego.
The studio had another incentive to film locally. It received a $2.4-million film tax credit for the production, which employed a cast and crew of 700 people, who worked all over the region.
Corenblith re-created Walt Disney's office on the studio lot at a warehouse in Santa Clarita (Disney's actual office is occupied by a producer). He and his team relied on hundreds of photographs from Disney archives and from an exhibit at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library, where Disney's actual office furnishings were on display.
The former Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood also reprised its historic role as the venue where "Mary Poppins" premiered. The production closed down Hollywood Boulevard in front of the Chinese Theatre and dressed up the street to look like 1964.
Fortunately, little work was required. "The major elements of the Chinese Theatre are exactly as they were in 1964," Corenblith said.
Latest Entertainment
Director John Lee Hancock and his crew filmed two days at Disneyland, mostly during early-morning hours before the park opened. They filmed at the entrance and along Main Street. They shut down Fantasyland for an afternoon to film sequences at Sleeping Beauty's Castle and on the King Arthur Carousel, where Disney tells Travers that "there's a child in all of us." Park visitors saw some filming from a distance.
The film was just the third major feature film to shoot at Disneyland in the park's 58-year-old history. The other two were the 1960 comedy "40 Pounds of Trouble" directed by Norman Jewison and the 1996 Tom Hanks movie "That Thing You Do!"
"People were amazed," said location manager Andrew Ullman. "They were like, 'They are making a movie here. Who is that? Tom Hanks and Emma Thompson? That's worth the price of admission itself.'"

The coordinator of Communion and Liberation in North America believes the Catholic lay movement can help people there realize that "the American dream" finds its greatest fulfillment in Jesus Christ.
"There is something that is deeply rooted in the people of North America, we call it 'the American dream,' that is a fundamentally positive attitude about life, an idea that the future is going to bring something better," said Christopher Bacich in an Aug. 21 CNA interview.
"People who have encountered Jesus Christ through Communion and Liberation, and I'm sure I can speak for many of us, recognize that the encounter with Christ, and his presence in our life, is the answer to this desire for a life that is better, that is great, that is worthwhile and fruitful."
Communion and Liberation grew out of the teaching methods of its Italian founder Father Luigi Giussani, who died in 2005. As a high school teacher during the 1950s in Milan, he wanted to help young people live out their Catholic faith in everyday life.
Bacich recounted how Fr. Giussani would always bring his high school students back to the "most elementary aspects of the Gospel" as he explained that Christianity "did not begin as anybody's idea or as a moral code or even a liturgical event" but, instead, originated with "people meeting a person."
"It began on the shore of the Jordan River," said Bacich, "when two men heard another man say 'There goes the Lamb of God,' they walked across and they followed that man who turned around and said, 'What are you looking for?'"
The same story held true "for everybody in the Gospels," he noted, including the Samaritan woman, Zacchaeus, St. Matthew, the lepers and demoniacs. For the reason, the movement's charism "emphasizes that experience of encounter with a human being, with a human person, with a human reality that is different, is essential to Christianity."
From his base in New York, 42-year-old Bacich helps coordinate the growth of Communion and Liberation in Canada and the United States. Currently the movement has an estimated 200 communities with over 5,000 members across North America.
"That ranges from several hundred people in New York, Washington, D.C. or Montreal, down to small communities of 10 and 20 in places like Crosby, Minnesota or Lincoln, Nebraska."
It can also include those who are already members of religious orders and "feel that their relationship to their own particular charisms is regenerated through the experience of the charism of Communion and Liberation," he said.
Bacich believes that a defining characteristic of the movement's North American members is that they have a "real willingness to grapple with the real life, everyday culture in which we live, while showing no fear, like Pope John Paul II said, 'Be not afraid.'"

With Spring Term starting next month, everyone is busy signing up for classes. Good news is, there is plenty to choose from! In fact, there are lots of new classes that have been added to the mix.
View Spring 2018 Classes.
You can also browse below for a few faculty recommendations! Explore classes for:
Are you a night owl? Do you prefer to take evening classes to fit your life schedule (or your body's natural rhythm)?
There is a new evening program just for you at El Centro College. It's called "Sprint to Finish" and allows you to quickly complete your core requirements before transferring to a four-year school.
The Sprint to Finish brochure (PDF – 2.3MB) has all the details, but here are some key points:
You can also view "Night Classes" at other colleges of the DCCCD. When you
view Spring 2018 Classes, you'll notice night classes are listed in shaded grey color.
There is both an art and a science to managing events and meetings. There are also lots of career opportunities! It begins by building skills in
hospitality, exhibition and event management.
Sound like something you'd be interested in exploring? Explore your options with introductory classes available in:
Ever had your identity stolen? Facebook account hacked? Files lost?
With the continued rise of technology, cybercrimes are becoming more and more common. Everything from our phones to our cars now take orders from software code that can be manipulated.
cyber security is fighting technology with technology – collecting, analyzing and presenting information while documenting a chain of custody. You can learn about the tools for forensic analysis of digital devices involved in a cybercrime(s) with
ITDF 1400, Introduction to Digital Forensics. Who knows, soon cyber security may be more than a hot conversation topic. It could be your job.
Want to get strong, flexible and sweaty while also scoring college credit? Enroll in a dance class!
For example, dance at Eastfield College. You can train with Claire Augustine in jazz (DANC 1147/1148), ballet (DANC 1341/1342) and modern (DANC 1345/1346) on Mondays and Wednesdays.
Or, for our Tuesday and Thursday folks, train with Jamie Perrin in hip-hop (DANC 2289) and dance appreciation (DANC 2303) during the day
and Yeajean Choi in body conditioning (DANC 1141) or modern (DANC 1345/1346) at night.
And of course, don't forget Saturday morning ballet with Kiera Amison (DANC 1341/1342). It's the perfect start for any athlete's weekend plans!
It took a while for humans to discover the earth was not flat. It is round, extending in multiple dimensions. It has width and length and depth.
The fun thing about art is we get to play with those dimensions. In fact, at Eastfield College there is a whole learning community exploring 2D and 3D design! It's a new and innovative program called "Design Foundations" taught by visual artists Eric Eley and David Willburn. In 16 weeks, you can take two classes and learn about studio art practices: ARTS 1311-43001 and ARTS 1312-43001.
Have you ever visited an art museum, looked an exhibit and wondered, "Wait, why is
that art?" For instance, you see something like Dunchamp's
Fountain (urinals) on display. Which is very different from Michelangelo's
There are answers to these big questions in art history. In fact, Art History II at El Centro is exploring these exact questions. Join the discussion (urinal art included!) in ARTS 1304-53001, on Tuesdays and Thursdays this spring from 3:30-4:50 p.m.
Have some free time on the weekends? Tackle a class or two! There are hundreds to choose from in the Spring 2018 class schedule. Simply view all the "Weekend Classes."
For example, at North Lake College alone you'll find
more than two dozen options for weekend classes this spring. Classes like drawing, computer programming, college algebra, sculpture, psychology, biology, physics and logistics.

the benefits of weekend classes, courtesy of the North Lake College Blog.
The colleges of DCCCD offer some amazing photography classes. In fact, some schools even provide you with the camera!
One photography class to definitely ad to your 2018 bucket list:
news photography. Offered at Brookhaven, Eastfield, North Lake and Richland, all four colleges have excellent student newspapers you could submit your class assignments to for publication. Just look for COMM 1316 in the Spring 2018 class schedule. Then get ready to explore the problems and practices of photography for newspapers. You'll get training in operating and maintaining your camera and equipment, film and plate developing, and digital and print media.
Go on, take the best photos of your life!
Lots of students are excited about the new Star Wars release this week (and so are we)! It's fun to watch Luke Skywalker on his adventures through space. And while most of the movie is fiction, the idea that there is a big universe
outside our solar system is not.
Explore galaxies far, far away in
PHYS 1403. You'll discuss stars,
black holes, galaxies, stellar evolution and all the wonderful phenomena in the universe. The laboratory includes outdoor viewing sessions and the use of spectra!
Offered districtwide, Mountain View College is a popular choice for PHYS 1403. Like Brookhaven College, they are known for their star gazing parties! Wherever you decide to attend class
– on a campus or online – there are lots of amazing star-gazing apps you can download over the winter break to start exploring.
Music lover? Turn your musical passion into musical skills at Cedar Valley College. Their commercial music program is one of the best in Texas! You can focus on recording technology (like Aida, pictured left), performance, music business or composition and digital production.
If you go the route of recording technology, MUSC 1327 is an awesome class. You get the whole overview of a recording studio. This includes your basic studio electronics and acoustic principles, microphone placement techniques, mixing and editing, multi-track operation ... really all you need to know to start training as an audio engineer.
Or maybe you are more interested in writing songs?
Perhaps you like to rap and want to make your own beats? Or maybe you prefer another genre of commercial music like rock, pop, or electronic dance music (EDM)? Cedar Valley has that too. In fact, they're offering a new music production class (Synthesis I) on Monday evenings this spring! You can master Apple Logic Pro software to make beats and songs that are "radio ready" as well as learning to score music to film. You'll learn from Grammy-nominated faculty member Dr. Mike Bogle.
Watch this YouTube video for a peek into the Commercial Music program.

Following torrential rainstorms, Michigan's Ionia County fairgrounds flooded something fierce June 24th with over 1000 cars trapped in the high water. Some were stuck till the following Wednesday. Somebody better be on the lookout for LeMons-priced clunkers in the area.
The cars were at the fairground as part of the "B93 Birthday Bash" a country music ho-down sponsored by a local radio station. We're betting nobody there thought "The River" would cause so many "Achy Breaky Heart"s [USAToday]

MOVIE REVIEW- Despicably shallow? <i>Sex and the City 2</i> will horrify... or delight
Some of these people make my skin crawl. The characters of Sex and the City 2 are flyweight bubbleheads living in a world which rarely requires three sentences in a row. Their defining quality is consuming things. They gobble food, fashion, houses, husbands, children, vitamins and freebies. They must plan their wardrobes on the phone, so often do they appear in different basic colors, like the plugs of a Playskool workbench.
As we return to the trivialities of their lives for a sequel, marriage is the issue. The institution is affirmed in an opening sequence at a gay wedding in Connecticut that looks like a Fred Astaire production number gone horribly overbudget. .... [full review]

Last week I finally had the chance to see a play I've been anticipating since last summer, when I was first made aware that Other Desert Cities (written by Jon Robin Baitz and directed by Henry Wishcamper) would be a part of the Goodman Theatre's 2012-2013 season. And let me tell you that it was well worth the wait! This play not only met my expectations, but far exceeded them and is, in fact, the best play I've seen in some time.
The play, which takes place on Christmas Eve 2004, is centered around the Wyeth family: conservative parents Polly (Deanna Dunagan) and Lyman (Chelcie Ross), and their liberal children Brooke (Tracy Michelle Arnold) and Trip (John Hoogenakker), along with their (fellow liberal) aunt Silda Grauman (Linda Kimbrough), all of whom have gathered at Polly and Lyman's home in Palm Springs to celebrate the holiday.
From the outset it is clear that Brooke and Trip come from completely different schools of thought than their parents, and have entirely opposite philosophies. Lyman is a staunch GOP supporter, a former actor who went into politics and later on became an ambassador. His wife, Polly, is herself a former actress and screenwriter who now counts people like Nancy and Ron -- presumably the Reagans -- among her friends, her inner circle. To them, it seems, every decision made by the Republican Party is justified. It seems as though to question any call made would simply be unthinkable. And, one gets the feeling that even if they did question some of what was going on, they would never do so publicly, since they firmly believe (as we quickly find out) that appearances trump all -- even reality -- be it in public or private life.
Brooke and Trip, on the other hand, fall pretty solidly on the other end of the spectrum. Brooke, more outspoken than her brother, Trip, falls solidly into the liberal category. Though they may not be personally affected, they seem keenly aware of the war going on thousands of miles away -- a war that, unlike their parents, they are not convinced is the right course of action. To Brooke, reality is more important than appearance. She prefers not to gloss over the facts, even when it may be more convenient to do so... though it is pretty clear that Trip could go either way where that is concerned, just to maintain peace at home, if nothing else.
We learn that Brooke is a writer who has been battling depression and has arrived with her newest book in tow, which is a tell-all memoir that threatens to re-open old wounds and expose long-hidden family secrets. At first reluctant to speak of it with anyone, she does inform her brother of her newest work but doesn't go into any sort of details. Eventually, she works up the nerve to have a few copies of her manuscript made. After much deliberation about whether to present it to the family and just how to go about it, she does just that, and that's when the floodgates open -- and, if you ask me, many interesting questions are posed. What is the right -- or "right," as the case may be -- thing to do? Does a writer have a responsibility toward their family when writing about them and, if so, what is it? Does she just go ahead and publish the book despite her parent's pleas not to do so before they die? Do they, having already dealt with the anguish of having lost a child -- in their own way, unhealthy as it may seem -- now have a right to dictate the manner in which their daughter copes with the loss of her brother -- or, at the very least, have the right to ask her to defer coping with it? What are the consequences of withholding pertinent information from your own children? Of sheltering them from the truth? Is the withholding of said information made better if you withhold it in some sort of attempt to protect them from a harsh reality, even harder to deal with than the one they already know? What is more important, public perception or the truth?
Other Desert Cities runs at the Goodman Theatre (170 N. Dearborn St. in Chicago) through February 17, 2013. For more information, including showtimes, or to purchase tickets to Other Desert Cities, log onto www.goodmantheatre.org or call the Goodman Theatre box office at 312-443-3800.

Associate, Policy
U.S. Green Building Council
Yesterday, Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Craig Fugate delivered a rousing speech on the role green building can play to ensure resilient communities for a changing planet. Fugate served as the keynote speaker of the second installment of the National Leadership Speaker Series on Resiliency and Security in the 21st Century at the National Press Club in Washington, DC.
National Leadership Speaker Series: FEMA Administrator Craig Fugate from U.S. Green Building Council on Vimeo.
The Administrator focused thematically on risk and better accountability in a changing world:
"We cannot afford to continue to respond to disasters and deal with the consequences under the current model. Risk that is not mitigated, that is not considered in return on investment calculations, will often set up false economies. We will reach a point where we can no longer subsidize this."
|ICLEI's Michael Schmitz, FEMA's Craig Fugate and USGBC's Jason Harkte at the National Press Club
He also described the disconnect between total cost of ownership and action. He used the analogy of purchasing a car - does the consumer really understand the upfront cost versus the costs of insurance, gas, upkeep, etc.? It's getting better because few would purchase a car with low fuel economy with gas prices at their current level, but there's still a long way to go. It's an apt analogy that also applies to buildings. Fugate said buildings also have long-term operating costs and risk factors that must be taken into consideration during construction and renovation.
Buildings that are resource and energy efficient from the beginning help ensure the long-term viability over their life-cycle. With the greater frequency of what meteorologists deem one-hundred or five-hundred-year weather events, we need to have better planning and more robust preventative strategies into the process of designing, constructing and operating buildings. The Administrator then linked LEED's green building strategies to disaster prevention strategies. He stated, "Being green is one part of being resilient," and added that resilient and green communities begin at the local level with better building codes, standards and zoning plans.
|Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), Craig Fugate, speaking to building resiliency.
Jason Hartke, Vice President of National Policy at the U.S. Green Building Council and co-founder of the Resiliency Series with ICLEI USA, set the context for the Administrator's remarks, stating:
"The resiliency agenda is an action agenda – a forward-thinking agenda. It's an agenda that adds calcium to the bones, fuels our ability to lead, and powers our productivity. With resiliency, we accept our vulnerability, but we refuse to be paralyzed by its veil of uncertainty…At its core, resiliency is about replacing pessimism with optimism; exchanging surprise for readiness; expediency for planning."These sentiments were mirrored in the subsequent remarks of the event's expert speakers.
The Feb. 29 luncheon also featured the launch of a landmark joint report by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and the University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning. The seminal piece of research examines how green buildings advance resiliency by helping us incorporating building strategies that better mitigate, plan and prepare for future climatic conditions. The report, Green Building and Climate Resilience: Understanding Impacts and Preparing for Changing Conditions, describes potential adaptive strategies available to green building practitioners. These strategies add an important new dimension to green building's long-standing focus on reducing greenhouse gases through energy efficiency and renewable and low-carbon energy supplies.
|USGBC's Vice President of Research, Chris Pyke
During the presentation of the report and its findings, USGBC's Vice President for Research Dr. Chris Pyke, explained the research this way:
"Every building is designed for a specific range of conditions, such as peak temperature, storm surge and average precipitation. Climate change has the potential to undermine some of these assumptions and potentially increase risks to people and property. Fortunately, there are practical steps we can take to understand and prepare for the consequences of changing environmental conditions and reduce potential impacts. This can help green buildings meet and exceed expectations for comfort and performance long into the future."The report, which identifies the deep synergies between green building and resiliency, advances several firsts in the field, such as: examining the implications of climate change for green building and identifies opportunities for resilience through the design, construction, and operation of buildings and communities; analyzing how individual LEED credits support regional adaptation needs, such as enhanced water conversation in arid climates and water-sensitive regions; and demonstrating how consideration of climate resilience in buildings can increase the likelihood of achieving performance goals throughout the lifetime of a project.

Man bites dog. That's the classic example of what makes news.
And it really happened. But the headline in this case should technically be "Man Bites Police Dog."
Santa Clara County Sheriff's spokesman Kurtis Stenderup said they took Frank Garcia, 34, into custody on charges of resisting arrest, brandishing weapon, felony vandalism, being under the influence of a controlled substance and injuring a police dog - all from a bizarre incident on Monday near San Jose.
"Ski," the German Shepherd, suffered some scraped paws but is expected to be OK and return to work soon.
Garcia's photo was not immediately available because he is recovering from self-inflicted injuries in the hospital.
Some of the scuffle was caught on a cell phone video, which shows a deputy - gun raised - trying to talk down a man in a confrontation on Raymond Avenue in unincorporated San Jose.
Garcia, armed with what deputies are saying was a knife, slashed a tire and smashed several car windows prompting more deputies to be called out for help.
Still, the video shows the man continuing to resist arrest, and then he stabbed himself three times, according to the sheriff's office. His injuries are not considered life-threatening.
The deputies then released "Ski," who Garcia allegedly choked, punched and bit. Deputies were at that point able to tackle and subdue him.
A relative said she was thankful that the officers did not open fire on her cousin.
"Can you please tell the officer thank you for not shooting my cousin," Maxine Gonzales said. "I appreciate that he was really good and he handled himself really good."
Here is the six-minute video - sometimes shot sideways - by Max Dehart on YouTube.
NBC Bay Area's Kristofer Noceda contributed to this report.

International Exotic Animal Sanctuary, Inc. ( IEAS) was founded in Boyd, Texas in 1988 as a 501(c)(3), nonprofit tax-exempt corporation. IEAS's current mission is the care and welfare of its animal inhabitants, as well as educating the public about their needs. The inhabitants include bobcats, cougars, lions, tigers and bears among other species. As of September 2014, 40 felines 3 coatis, a lemur, a capybara and 29 bears call IEAS home, with spacious habitats, pools and houses. The employees and volunteers who care for the animals give of their time and talents to ensure the quality of life to which they are entitled.
Not only is the sanctuary home to 74 exotic animals, but it is also a place providing education and conservation. The International Exotic Animal Sanctuary started the Intern Program in 2002. The program was a success from the beginning and has attracted students from all over the United States. The American Association of Zoo Keepers, Inc. (AAZK) honored IEAS with the Certificate of Merit for Zookeeper Education (CMZE). The purpose of the award is to recognize individuals, institutions and organizations in the zoological community most actively promoting educational programs for zookeepers.
The purpose and goals of IEAS are to provide a permanent sanctuary for exotic animals that have been abused, abandoned, neglected, confiscated, or previously owned by people unwilling or unable to provide for these magnificent beings. Additionally, IEAS educates the public through school programs, tour lectures, support for conservation programs, and public appearances about the value and worth of these sensitive, intelligent and perceptive animals, so that their future, as an important part of our world, is ensured. We are committed to strengthening and promoting conservation education and other avenues to foster conservation in which we can participate. Our major goal is to give the resident animals the best quality of life we can give them in captivity through our Emotional Enrichment Program, which deals with the emotional well-being of each individual animal and its individual emotional needs. We do this to fill the need to reduce stress and agitation, give each animal the best life it can have in captivity, and by understanding what is required to achieve that goal.

Excalibur Dehydrators are considered to be the best dehydrator on the market. After receiving mine and using it I can see why they are so greatly loved. The Excalibur 5 tray is perfect for my small family and our dehydrating needs. In the short time I have had mine, I have made fruit rolls, "sun-dried" tomatoes, coconut bacon,tofu jerky, kale chips, and dehydrated fruits. In addition it can be used to make, granola, meat jerky, crackers, raw foods, bread crumbs, dried herbs, and more. A quick search for dehydrator recipes will give you a good idea of how valuable a dehydrator can be.
Kale Chips are a favorite snack in this mama's house. Everyone, including the dog and cat, love them. They can be purchased in the store at the cost of $7.99 for 2.5oz. WOW, they are good but at that price we can not buy them often. Instead,I can pick kale from the garden, buy some at the farmers market or grocery store and make my own for a fraction of the cost. I like knowing what ingredients go in to my family's food and I like saving money. Here is the recipe I followed to make these delicious and healthy chips.
Spicy and Cheesy Kale Chips
Adapted from The Best Cheesy Kale Chips
- 1 1/2 or 2 bunches of kale, washed, dried, stems removed and cut in to bite size pieces.
- 1 cup cashews, soaked in water for 2 or more hours and then drained.
- 2-3 T lemon juice
- 2 T nutritional yeast ( I used a bit more, I love nutritional yeast)
- 1 red bell pepper chopped
- 1 t ground chipotle chili pepper
- a dash of sea salt
- cayenne pepper (to taste)
- Add all ingredients expect the kale to a blender or food processor. Process until smooth.
- Massage mixture in to kale with hands.
- Dehydrate at 115° until crispy. (8-12 hours)
Here they are in all of their cheesy, crispy goodness!!
Fruit Rolls Many of the fruit roll brand on the market actually include very little fruit in them. They are loaded with corn syrup, artificial coloring/flavoring and preservatives. They are really candy disguised as a fruit snack. So, I decided to make fresh, natural and delicious fruit rolls in the Excalibur Dehydrator. They turned out so good and were really easy to make. All you need is some fruit of your choosing, apple sauce ( I used 365 Unsweetened organic apple sauce), parchment paper, a blender and the dehydrator. This is a great recipe to have the kids help with. They can choose their own fruit combinations.
One reader will win a Excalibur Dehydrator!

Chrissy Redden's Race Report
The second round of the Canada Cup found itself in my home turf course of Hardwood Hills, Ontario. And finding myself at home with the husband and cats, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to support the home crowd. The weekend started on Saturday afternoon with a "ride with Ritchey Yahoo! rider Chrissy Redden" pre-ride of the course. As we found out it was a long 12.5 km loop with no major climbs, but lots of small kickers and 80% fast, winding single track. The ride went well (with about 20 participants ranging in age and ability) until one girl took a jump option, but landed rubber side up and head down. After getting the first aid crew out to bring her back we continued and ended with a signing session.
The main event was on Sunday at 1:30 pm in blistering 31 degrees C sun. Drinking A LOT was the secret of the day. The women's field was strong with half the national team represented and quite a few local Ontario cup favorites. The first 1.5 km was fairly flat and wide until the first bit of single track. Wanting to be first into the single track, I attacked mid-way through this section and when I got to the single track, I looked behind me and only Melanie McQuaid was on my wheel with Marie Helen about 10 feet back. I maintained a steady, smooth pace through the first 6km of single track and came around the start area to start the second half of the loop 30 sec ahead of 2nd place. From there I focussed my race on mentally staying strong and keeping my momentum through the continuous rolling hills. It felt very good to finish first on my home turf and in front of my family and friends.
First Union Wilmington Classic
(courtesy the organizers)
Reinhart Beats McRae In Tight Sprint Finish
Nicole Reinhart showed that she is the fastest woman road sprinter in North America with a decisive win today at the First Union Wilmington Classic in Wilmington, Del. Reinhart and her Saturn teammates were in control of every tactical move of the day, and her victory was the result of a cohesive team effort.
The Team Saturn moves began from the starting gun with Clara Hughes, who recently returned to racing condition after an illness, and Tina Mayolo of the Celestial Seasonings Team escaping the field and building up a 35" lead. Their breakaway lasted until half-way into the thirty-one mile race when, in response to the attacks and counter-attacks coming out the chasing field, Reinhart herself closed the gap on her teammate Hughes.
Reinhart explained the tactic: "At first we were happy with the breakaway because Tina wasn't a threat to us in the overall Saturn USPRO Cycling Tour points standings," said Reinhart. "But they were kind of just dangling out there and the race wasn't hard enough. We wanted to be really aggressive today and make a hard race."
Her counter-attack toughened the race and sparked another breakaway, this time with Saturn's Tana Stone, Mina Pizzini of Stoneyfield/Potomac and Celestial Seasoning's Elizabeth Emery. They were absorbed by the field with four miles to go and yet another Celestial Seasonings rider, Roz Reekie of Australia, went on the attack, with Clara Hughes joining her. The duo was caught with a half a mile to go just as the sprint was launched. Reinhart, guided in the slipstream of teammate Dede Demet was being shoved into the barricades as the riders fought for position and was forced to begin her sprint much farther from the line than normal. Reinhart's track-trained skills kept her in front to the line, where she "threw the bike" across to win by inches over Jen McRae of Team Timex.
In third place, in a great surprise, was Jamie Nicholson of the Century Road Club Association. Nicholson is a full-time investment banker. She will know what to do with her prize money.
Zarate Wins First Race of First Union Cycling Series
Thirteen teams of racers from fifteen countries took the start of the 1999 Christiana Care Cup under blazing hot and windy conditions. Jan Karlssen of the Danish Team Acceptcard, jumped away from the start in a solo breakaway that quickly gained a one minute, fourty-five second lead on the field. Karlssen held his lead forty-five miles - scooping up King of the Hill points along the way - before being joined by five men: Saturn's Bart Bowen, Mercury's Mike Sayers and Jesus Zarate and two independents, Steve Speaks and Clark Sheehan. The five men forged to four minutes, 30 second lead on the field but began to lose ground as the chasers ignited into action from behind.
Seven men emerged from the fighting in the field, Leipheimer (Saturn), Clinger (Mercury), Walters (Navigators), Bramati (Mapei), Guldbaek (Acceptcard), and Murn (Slovenia). It took twenty miles of hard chasing, but the seven men bridged the gap between the groups and joined the five leaders at the sixty-five mile mark.
The twelve stayed together until the last lap when an attack by Guldbaek split the group in two with five miles to the finish. Clinger drove the split for his team sprinter Zarate with Mapei's Bramati and Bowen forcing in turn. Clinger completed the Team Mercury show of power, by leading out an explosive Zarate in the sprint and managing to hold off Bramati for second place despite his long sacrificing effort.
Zarate's win was the biggest of his career. The 1998 Mexican National Amateur Road Champion was a deserving winner, having been active throughout the day and finishing second in the King of the Hill points to Karlssen by one point. The strong performance of Zarate and his Mercury team makes them a favored team for the First Union Cycling series that culminates with the First Union USPRO Championship on Sunday, June 4.

WOLFEBORO -- A cappella singing group Tuckermans at 9 returns for its fifth consecutive year to First Night Wolfeboro on December 31. Three different shows will begin at 6:30pm, 7:30pm, and 8:30pm in the 500-seat Anderson Hall on the campus of Brewster Academy.
Based in the New Hampshire Seacoast, the group, dubbed "T9" by fans, has entertained audiences from Boston and Massachusetts' north and south shores to Lewiston, Maine, and in New Hampshire from Portsmouth to Nashua and into the Lakes Region.
"We just celebrated our eighth anniversary," says tenor Daryl Robertson of Eliot, Maine. "And in that time, the T9 sound has evolved into a huge variety of material from pop to rock to blues to light jazz, including our own customized versions of songs people know and love. But we do it a cappella, so our voices make all the music. No instruments or pre-recorded instrumental tracks are ever used. Everything you hear, including what sounds like brass, electric guitars, or drums, is just us. It's a funny, entertaining show with something for every age and taste."
Rounding out the group's New Hampshire roster are soprano Ashley Gove (Nashua), altos Kam Damtoft (Exeter) and Fran Lipe (New Durham), tenor Walt Porter (Brentwood), baritone Mark Miller (Dover), and bass Bill Hersman (Durham). Sound technician Tony Berke hails from Exeter and assistant sound technician Kevin Consaul from Nashua.
The First Night Wolfeboro set list includes "I Got the Music In Me", which T9 premiered earlier this month, adapted for the group from the original heard on The Sing Off TV show a few years ago. Others are Bruno Mars' "Grenade", the Eagles' "Desperado", and the Jefferson Airplane's 60s rock anthem, "Somebody to Love". Also planned are "Please Mr. Postman" and Jimmy Buffett's "Cheeseburger in Paradise" as well as Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" and Michael Jackson's "Beat It".
Anderson Hall, Brewster Academy campus, 205 South Main Street, Wolfeboro. Admission by First Night button only. Information: call 569-2200 or visit firstnight.wolfeboro.net, tuckermansat9.com, or Tuckermans at 9 on Facebook.

THIS WEEK'S GUEST-BIANS: Kristanna Loken is surprised; Annabella Sciorra is disappointed; Bruce Davison is devastated; Cybill Shepherd is awakened.
I may never recover — Kit is moaning. And sweating. The camera is beholding her from above and is turning slowly — much more slowly than my head is spinning. Kit is clearly having sex, but not in the way you might expect. Someone's down there. Not just someone: That is a feminine hand caressing Kit's face and clutching her shoulder. Someone female is down there. And it's not me, dammit!
There's a good tune in the background: "Magic Tree" by Kristen Price. But the music that is composed of the shuffle of Kit's sighs, not to mention the swerve of her brows and the sheen on her skin, is even better.
But then it all comes crashing down, and not in the way you were hoping. Kit says, "No, no. Just stop." And a very defeated, sweaty Papi flops onto the bed next to Kit and sighs.
Papi flexes and pops her jaw. She looks at Kit despondently.
I'm so conflicted: I'm giddy at the thought of Papi losing at her own game, but I'm a little disappointed because I got my hopes up for a minute there. I know, I know: Kit's straight — we've been warning you about that in the podcasts, Papi. I don't really think Kit will (as Cary Grant might say) just turn gay all of a sudden. In fact, that would be an absolute transgression on the part of the writers. But I like vicarious pleasure as much as the next voyeur, and for a moment there, I was very pleased.
My pleasure quickly turns to distaste as the dialogue turns trite:
Come on. That was such a golden opportunity for comedy. Kit should have said, "I told you to change the batteries first!" or "What kinda yoga did you say this was again?" Or — because we mustn't forget Kit's favorite word — "Girl. Girl, next time try your other left."
But it's, like, a big deal to Papi the playa, you know? And like every well-trained woman, Kit decides to comfort her lover instead of feeling the bummer that is an elusive orgasm.
Now that is some comedy gold: Kit's shrug and expression and tone of voice are like, "I know, I know, I left the cap off the toothpaste again." Hee.
An adorable motorcycle ride — Yeah, I know, adorable is a weird word to put next to motorcycle, but not in this case. It looks like Tasha has been giving Alice a lesson. Alice seems to be doing very well — after all, most newbies find it hard to balance with someone on the back of the bike, but she's cruising right along.
Tasha helps her park and put down the kickstand.
Alice, I think you could have totaled the thing and Tasha would still be grinning at your cuteness.
Alice has a surprise for Tasha. Well, it was supposed to be a surprise, but Alice is too excited and simply has to tell her right now. She wants to take Tasha to Mexico, to a spa and the beach and (I'll bet) new heights of ecstasy. Tasha just says, "Mmm" and lets Alice try to convince her.
I don't know whose belly laugh is biggest: Tasha's, Alice's, or mine. Tasha actually doubles over. I think she may have even slapped her knee. I love love love these two together.
Alice suggests that they go around the first of May, when her Web site's "done." Oh, Alice. Surely you realize that a Web site's never done. But here's hoping your fictional Chart gets off the ground faster, and in a less broken way, than the real one did.
Alice jangles the motorcycle keys; Tasha jokes that she's "too fancy now." Alice says, "Max is fast; I wish I had him full time," which might sound like a complete non sequitur (and possibly something quite sordid) if you were just overhearing this conversation. Even if you do know who Max is and what's going on, it doesn't exactly sound like natural banter. That's the trouble with anvils: They're heavy.
As they chuckle their way across the street, a nearby car suddenly accelerates and honks and swerves and seems to be aiming right for them. What? Are they near a bank or a bar or a demolition derby or something? Tracy Morgan, is that you?
But it's more than just a random reckless driver: The mayhem triggers a flashback for Tasha. As she pushes Alice out of the way and they fall to the ground, Tasha sees Iraq in her mind's eye. There are tanks and bombs and sand and a dead girl. Why, oh why? Can't we have one light-hearted conversation that doesn't immediately give way to drama and doom? Does every dog and tennis star have to die, Mama Chaiken? Must every relationship end in shambles and every addict spiral downward? Oh, the humanity!
Alice collects herself enough to yell, "F— you!" to the careening car as it drives on. The driver flips her off and says, "F— you, dyke."
Some comeback, Alice. I think you should have gone with a classic "Your mom" retort instead. (Actually, that might not even be what Alice said — the captions refused to help me out on this one. It's OK, Leisha; I love it when you improvise.)
Alice's hand has been injured in some way. She asks Tasha if she's OK, but Tasha is still kind of stuck in her flashback. She collects herself and says she's OK, but she doesn't really seem OK. She grabs Alice by her injured hand and pulls her up. "Ow," says Alice.
Talk about a plot device — where the hell did that car come from? Did Leonard put a hit out on Alice? Who was the driver? Was he aiming for Alice or Tasha? Where's Abraham Zapruder when you need him?

Arriving at King's Landing after his long journey, Ned (Sean Bean) is shocked to learn of the Crown's profligacy from his new advisors. At Castle Black, Jon Snow (Kit Harington) impresses Tyrion (Peter Dinklage) at the expense of greener recruits. Suspicious that the Lannisters had a hand in Bran's fall, Catelyn (Michelle Fairley) covertly follows her husband to King's Landing, where she is intercepted by Petyr Baelish (Aidan Gillen), aka "Littlefinger," a shrewd longtime ally and brothel owner. Cersei (Lena Headey) and Jaime (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) ponder the implications of Bran's (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) recovery; Arya (Maisie Williams) studies swordsmanship. On the road to Vaes Dothrak, Daenerys (Emilia Clarke) finds herself at odds with Viserys (Harry Lloyd).
In the third episode, Ned and his daughters finally reach the capital of King's Landing. Those whose heads are still spinning from all the introductions in the first episode may want to take a deep breath first: we meet a host of new characters in the city and on the Wall. For many fans of the books, this is an eagerly awaited moment, not the least because of the introduction of two such key players as Varys, the king's Master of Whisperers, and Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish, the Master of Coin. They do not disappoint, though you will have to wait a few more episodes before we get to a particularly juicy scene between the two.
But even with these introductions, the episode still has room for scenes that flesh out the characters we have already met, in particular Queen Cersei and King Robert. The episode also works in more of the backstory, touching upon several events from Robert's Rebellion, so those who are watching and trying to piece together what exactly happened when the Mad King's reign ended should pay close attention to the scenes with Jaime and Ned as well as Jaime and Robert.
At the Wall, Jon Snow gets to know (and dislike) his fellow recruits; his temperament, and his disappointments, are on display as he learns some hard lessons. The scenes at the Wall also give us plenty of Tyrion, including a rather hilarious line and the fulfillment of a… goal that that he had before he set out on the journey.
Across the Narrow Sea, with Daenerys and the Dothraki, watch for some very defining moments in the young khaleesi's life and take note of the mention of how much time has passed; the indicators of this as well as of changes of location in general have clearly proved less obvious to some viewers than what might be needed. You will also get to hear a good deal more Dothraki spoken.
There are a lot of fine moments in this episode, in particular a couple of scenes establishing a few of the characters with Daenerys in more detail, but the high point is probably still the final scene which features Arya. Pay close attention to the sounds in the background at the very end.
