Penn Theatre Arts Fall 2015 Mainstage Production
Directed by Dr. James F. Schlatter.
The Theatre Arts Program’s fall production, BURY THE DEAD, written by Irwin Shaw in 1936, is set “in the second year of the war that is to begin tomorrow night.” The scene is an unnamed battlefield somewhere in the world that also serves as the gravesite for six dead American soldiers. About to be interred, the six young soldiers stand up in their shared grave and plead not to be buried. This crisis is the focus of Shaw’s harrowing and deeply moving and provocative play, directed by Theatre Arts faculty member, Dr. James F. Schlatter, Can a war ever end if the dead won’t be buried? The play will be performed by an ensemble company.
Performances:
November 18–21, 7:00pm

Laughter THERAPY
Have a hearty laugh at least two to three times a day, if you want to keep the doctor away. The more you laugh the longer you live. We mostly laugh at the foolish acts of others, but we must learn to laugh at ourselves. A humor is a universal language. It brings other people in and breaks down barriers. Best of all it is free and has no side effects. Finding humors in a situation and laughing freely with others can be a powerful antidote to stress.
Laughing is a mighty medicine for many diseases. Laughing gives us the ability to find delight, experience joy, and to releases tension. Laughter help increase the level of feel good chemicals in the body.
Laughing increases the flow of blood and oxygen to the brain, which provides a cleansing of sorts, laughing is found to lower blood pressure reduce stress hormones, sharpen the memory, releases endorphins that effect the immune system, and increases circulation and digestive enzyme secretion etc. Laughing is like an aerobics workout for diaphragms that increases the body’s ability to seek oxygen. Frequent belly laughter empties your lungs of more air than it takes in resulting in a cleansing effect similar to deep breathing.
Laughing is not just excising your face muscles it’s also about pleasing your mind, body and soul. Laughing is such a great quality which is posses by Human being alone amongst all living beings
Doing work with pleasure is an exceeding interesting and satisfying feeling? It lighters the job and works and you feel that you are a valuable person for the society. The ability to laugh at a situation or problem gives us a feeling of superiority and power. Laughing can foster a positive and hopeful attitude. Laughing removes tension, gives Peace to mind, and save from heart problems .Because laughing will keep you always in a positive frame of mind, when we laugh changes take in the chemical formation of our body that prohibit tension.
Even now days hospitals around the country are incorporating laughter therapy program’s into there therapeutic regimens. Even doctors believe that 15 minutes of laughter therapy could produce two hours of pain free sleep. “The more you laugh, the longer you live.”

On 7th May 2015 The CGIAR Research Program on Climate Change, Agriculture and Food Security (CCAFS), East Africa hosted the program’s Independent Science Panel (ISP) and Program Management Committee (PMC) at the Nyando Climate-Smart Villages in Kenya, one of the region’s learning sites. The team visited farmers to see the uptake of various climate- smart technologies that have made them food secure and increased their adaptive capacity to climate variability. The climate –smart farmers have not only increased their yields but have also become champion farmers (examples) for the community to emulate.

It was a magic season for the Syracuse Academy of Science girls basketball team.
The #SASAtoms accomplished a lot - winning the program's first Section III title and advancing to the state final four.
SAS missed out on only one goal, as Section IX champion Millbrook bested the Atoms, 67-64, in overtime in the Class C state championship game at Hudson Valley Community College.
"We came up short, but we accomplished a whole lot," #SASCS coach Reggie Pickard said after his team came out on the short end of the 4-minute extra session, during which the Atoms led three times before surrendering the final four points. "Overtime game, we lost to a great team, a well-coached team."
SAS, who finish 19-5, lost despite a determined effort from senior Lyrik Jackson, who led the Atoms with 24 points and 15 rebounds, and junior Diamonne Harris, who added 23 points.
"She made a big difference," Pickard said.
Millbrook led the whole way, until there was just one minute left in regulation. A basket by Jackson tied the game at 54-54.
The Blazers pushed the lead back to four points with 34 seconds left, but SAS got a pair of free throws from Jackson to pull within two and 6-0 sophomore Erykah Pasha sent the game into overtime by converting two free throws with no time left on the clock after she was fouled on a put back attempt at the buzzer.
The Atoms led three times in the extra session - 60-59, 62-61 and 64-63 - before the Blazers got their final points from reserve junior forward Claire Martell, who hit a basket and two free throws in the final 45 seconds.
Pickard said he told his players to keep their heads high.
"I just told them they had no reason to hang their heads," said Pickard, who started the varsity program at SAS in 2010. "We set a goal at the beginning of the season. We reached our goal, but we just came up short."
Pickard said his all-state senior, Jackson, was all heart.
"She played hurt. She twisted her ankle early on. Her shoulder was still sore from the fall yesterday. She was banged up. But she gave it her all. She gave it her heart," he said.
The coach said he hoped the Atoms would be back, albeit probably in a higher classification. Nearly everyone associated with Section III basketball expects that SAS will be moved up in class by the competition committee.

Students and faculty in UF Law’s Environmental and Land Use Law Program’s Spring Break Field Course explored the diverse marine and coastal ecoregion shared by South Florida and the Bahamian archipelago.
The purpose of the week-long course, led by Tom Ankersen, Florida Sea Grant's Legal Specialist, was to provide students a firm grounding in the law, policy and practice of coastal and marine sustainable development through field-based immersion, practitioner lectures, and reflective discussions.
The group traveled from the intensely developed waterfront of Biscayne Bay to the bustling government center of Nassau in the Bahamas, and then on to the quiet, rural family island of Andros, bounded by the great Bahama Bank and the Tongue of the Ocean. While there is a world of difference between the two neighbors separated by the Gulf Stream, they share a remarkably similar ecosystem facing many of the same threats, and common language of the common law.
This year’s Spring Break Field course furthers the UF Law Conservation Clinic’s South Florida Bahamas ecoregional initiative supported by Florida Sea Grant, and in partnership with the Bahamas National Trust.

Budapest, Hungary
March 4, 2013
It the program's Spring Break and instead of making friends to travel with, I decided to forgo that frustration and to try traveling alone. Studying abroad was the first time I went outside of the U.S.A. Going to Budapest was the first of three cities/countries I backpacked that week of break. I landed an early morning flight, unknowingly took a mafia taxi, but made it to the top of Buda castle. Safe, excited, and empowered. First time traveling alone and as a minimalist? #success #stillalive #doingitagainaftergraduation

Scout Book is pleased to have been a sponsor of Mount Hood Community College's Integrated Media Program's end-of-the-year portfolio review that took place at Nemo Design HQ back in June.
The MHCC students created this fabulous Scout Book that is one of our favorite examples of a creative use for a custom interior.
The interior pages featured photographs, contact information and room for notes on each recent graduate. These Scout Book put the faces of the participants in the hands of their future employers, collaborators and peers. What a good idea!
