"A Christmas Carol" — Charles Dickens' timeless classic tale "A Christmas Carol" turns modern at the Rochester Opera House on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, Dec. 20-22 at 7 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 22 and 23 at 2 p.m. The cast will trace the life of miserly Scrooge from his childhood in the 1940s through his adulthood in the late 20th century. Director Shay Willard weaves the magic of this beloved Christmas tale into a family-friendly story in a contemporary setting with the captivating sound of live, classic and modern music directed by Kathy Fink.
On Christmas Eve, Scrooge (Doug Decker) begrudgingly dismisses Cratchitt (Greg Bell), Fred (Noah Nelson) and the rest of his long-suffering employees, who are anxious to celebrate the joyous holiday season. Scrooge, alone with his bah-humbug self, receives a surprise visit by the ghost of his dead partner, Jacob Marley (Michael Turner). Marley must convince Scrooge not to follow his path to a dreary destiny. Jacob promises Scrooge a chance at redemption as he sends him on a journey through time — meeting blissful and terrifying spirits (Erin Roberts, Whitney Smith and Shay Willard) along the way, who all help to teach Scrooge the true meaning of Christmas.

Home for the Holidays — For the first time, the South Berwick Home for the Holidays celebration on Friday, Nov. 30, will conclude with a community candlelight sing on the lawn at Town Hall.

To date, Global Integrity has conducted six rounds of research on the United States — including three rounds of the Global Integrity Report, two Local Integrity Initiatives, and one round on Money, Politics, and Transparency.
Global Integrity Report
The Global Integrity Report is an essential guide to anti-corruption institutions and mechanisms around the world, intended to help policymakers, advocates, journalists and citizens identify and anticipate the areas where corruption is more likely to occur within the public sector. The Report evaluates both anti-corruption legal frameworks and the practical implementation and enforcement of those frameworks, and takes a close look at whether citizen can effectively access and use anti-corruption safeguards.
Local Integrity Initiative
While most of Global Integrity's assessments are national in nature, for some projects research is conducted at sub-national levels. The State Integrity Investigation is a collaboration with the Center for Public Integrity that assesses corruption risks in all fifty US states.
Money, Politics and Transparency
The Money, Politics and Transparency research was conducted on a set of "Campaign Finance Indicators" designed to assess the current state of political finance transparency and regulation in 54 countries. The MPT research was undertaken to provide fresh data for understanding the relative strengths and weaknesses in global practices around political finance regulation, transparency and enforcement.

Dynamism and attention to details make the essence of Mister Bar working philosophy. A highly specialized staff will make every moment of yours sublime: you'll be sipping a drink accompanied by tasty delicacies anywhere you like.
A mixture of well defined ideas shapes the 'concept' of our business: respect for tradition and product seasonality, interest in the psychology of our customers and a constant survey of all sorts of innovations which may anticipate the trend of 'healthy & responsible' drinking.
Head barman & proprietor Francesco Cimmino of Misterbar was born on the island of Ischia in 1982, in the beautiful region of Campania, where true hospitality has forever been considered an art form.
From an early age, the love of tradition and the propensity to be in contact with people urged him to investigate this direction, choosing to attend Hotel School where this passion turned into his job which led to a world full of surprises and emotions for his work.
After graduation, Francesco decided to move abroad to learn new bar techniques and improve his knowledge of languages. His stay in France, Spain and the UK allowed him to further his love of bar catering, therefore improving his many skills as barman which enabled him to attend, upon his return to Italy, the AIBES, (=The Italian Association of Barmen).
Upon his return, he also received a Master's degree in food & beverage management at a leading institution in Rome.
Since 2003, Francesco has functioned as professional barman on the island of Capri, Italy at some of the most renowned luxury hotels, serving as head bar manager at prestigious hotels such as La Palma and the Capri Relais Blue, as well at some of the most beloved bars & clubs in Capri such as the famous tavern 'O Guarracino.
Thanks to his considerable experience in Capri and direct contact with an international clientele, Francesco can quickly understand and pick up on guests's personal tastes and habits from all around the globe.
Thanks to his thorough knowledge, gained during his career, and his love and passion for his job, he decided to develop a new concept of specialized "bar catering" (up until now, quite unheard of in Italy). A bar catering unlike others in Mister Bar Catering, specializing in quality, originality and sophistication, offering his guests comfort and professionalism in making each event unforgettable.
Mister Bar cooperates in partnership with the leaders of the fitting-out market. The key-words to the positive results in the world of 'happening-making' are quality outfitting and location.

HOUSTON, Texas - MIT's Doria Holbrook surpassed the previous NCAA record in the one-meter diving competition at the 2007 National Championships on Thursday en route to earning All-America honors for the third straight year in the event. The junior's six-dive point-total of 470.10 was good enough for the runner-up position, as Calvin sophomore Erica Deur won the event - and set the new NCAA standard in the process - with a tally of 487.00.
The previous NCAA mark had been 455.20, set by Concordia's Anne Cullen just last year.
The Engineers sit in 15th place of 38 scoring schools after day one of the competition, having earned 23 points overall. Holbrook grabbed 17 for her second-place finish, while senior Katherine Thornton picked up six with an 11th place finish in the 500-yard freestyle. Kenyon College leads the field by a wide margin after winning three events to earn a total of 190 points, placing it well ahead of second-place Amherst College (105). Defending champion Emory University sits in 4th with 100 points.
Holbrook entered the finals of the one-meter competition as the top seed after earning a score of 431.20 in prelims, but was narrowly edged by Deur for the title. It was Holbrook's best overall finish in the event, as she placed third in 2005 and fourth in 2006. The Yakima, Wash., native's practice partner, Tufts' Kendall Swett, finished ninth in prelims, just one spot away from a place in the finals.
While slightly overshadowed by her teammate's national runner-up finish, Thornton had an impressive day as well. Beginning the day seeded 27th in the nation in the 500-yard freestyle, she improved her season-best time of 5:08.70 by over four seconds in prelims, touching the wall at 5:04.46 to bump herself up to 15th and earn a spot in the consolation heat. She then did herself one better, finishing 11th overall with a time of 5:02.85 in the finals - a split that was faster than a number of swimmers in the championship heat.
Head coach Dawn Gerken was delighted after the first day of the competition, praising both of her competitors equally for top-notch performances.
"Kate had an incredible swim today," she said. "She was confident and smart, and the results of her efforts were clear. Doria was amazing as well, as she put together some great, great dives."
Both Thornton and Holbrook will return to action today. Thornton will compete in the 200-yard freestyle, in which she is ranked 36th in the country, while Holbrook will perform preliminary dives for the three-meter competition, which she won in her freshman year of 2005.

Indie rock, environmental powerhouse Guster performs
Guitarist and vocalist Adam Gardner offers advice to students
Guster, the indie rock phenom that played in Shapiro Gym last weekend, offered the more than 1,200 Brandeis students who packed the fall concert can-do examples on two levels: music and environmental conservation.
The band's founding members met as Tufts University freshmen in 1991. Headlining the nearly 90-minute energetic set, Guster performed hits from throughout their two-decade career. Jukebox the Ghost, an indie rock trio that formed at George Washington University in 2003, opened the evening, which was sponsored by Student Events.
"We feel very lucky that we're able to do what we do," said Adam Gardner, Guster guitarist and vocalist. "Brandeis is very similar to where we started."
Offering advice to would-be bands, he said: "You have a city. Start with smaller clubs, then go play at T.T.'s [the Cambridge venue T.T. the Bear's], go play The Paradise. Play to the people. Take advantage of the fact that you don't have to make a living from it now."
Over the years, Guster has earned a reputation for their live performances, vocal harmonies, varied instrumentation, humor, and more recently, environmental activism, all of which were on display Saturday.
"It's such a different world now," said Gardner, who has also released an album of Chanukah music with The LeeVees and occasionally plays gigs with rock super-group Yukon Kornelius. "It doesn't cost anything to make a record; you can do it on your laptop and spread it through your [social media] network. But it all starts with a good record. If you don't have a good product, there's no point in marketing it."
As the band swapped instruments – from bongos to drums, guitars to keyboard, ukulele and trumpet – a sea of swaying bodies and bopping heads swarmed the stage to hear hits like "Amsterdam," "Satellite" and "Airport Song," as well as newer material from their 2010 release "Easy Wonderful."
During an improvised rap, guitarist and vocalist Ryan Miller tossed leftover food at the audience – Silk and Morning Star Farms products, a loaf of bread.It's not unusual for the band to curb unnecessary waste. Eight years ago, Gardner and his wife Lauren Sullivan founded the nonprofit Reverb, which helps musicians green their tours and educate fans about sustainability. Reverb has worked with artists like the Dave Matthews Band, Barenaked Ladies, Jack Johnson, and Sheryl Crow.
And, of course, it works with Guster.
Similar to the band's success in the music industry, Gardner said the environmental work is all about persistence.
"For any movement, there's a spectrum and I respect that there's a spectrum. I've chosen a 'work with' approach," he said. "You won't hear me talking out against things; you'll hear me talking about being for things. I think that's how Reverb has worked so well."
Guster typically invites local environmental groups to set up booths at their shows, offers a platform for fans to coordinate ride-sharing to concerts and has headlined Reverb's Campus Consciousness tour.
Whenever possible, the band tries to calculate the carbon footprint of the show – from the power used at the venue to hotels, flights, merchandise – and then tries to neutralize it by using refillable water bottles, reusable and biodegradable products, organic and local foods.
The show at Shapiro was powered in part by solar energy, according to Bryan Flatt '12, who worked with Student Events to coordinate the concert. Food was served with reusable dishes, separated recycling bins for glass, paper and composting were available, as were water coolers instead of bottles, he said.
"I've been doing this for eight years, working to make change happen," Gardner said. "I'm very optimistic and encouraged by the response. It's hopeful."
The audience groaned when Miller announced the show was nearly over, and that the band would continue playing their final songs instead of leaving the stage before an assumed encore. After Miller gave a heartfelt thanks to the audience and advised students to "enjoy college," Saturday, Guster closed the show with a mash-up of their encouraging "Hang On," and Billy Joel's "My Life."
With the tour now complete, Guster dispersed home to their respective wives and young children. They plan to focus on writing new material but, Gardner says, the LeeVees will play a few shows this winter and would "love to play at Brandeis."

Before getting a new puppy, make sure you are prepared to share your life with a new family member for the next 15 or more years! Owning a dog is a big responsibility!
Questions You Should Ask the Breeder
1. Are the puppies' parents "certified"? This means that certain breeds are often at risk for genetic conditions such as hip problems, heart problems and eye problems. Most of these diseases are inherited, meaning the disease is passed from parent to puppy. Many breeders will have their dogs evaluated and tested for that disease and ultimately "certified" by a veterinary specialist to be disease-free.
2. What are the sizes of the puppy's parents? Know how big the parents are, to get a good idea of how big your puppy will be. Is that the size dog you want?
3. Ask to meet the dogs parents. If possible, meet the puppy's parents. Notice if they appear to be in good health and evaluate their overall temperament. Are they shy, aggressive, or well adjusted?
4. How have they socialized the pups? Have the pups been around other dogs? Other people? Socialization is critical in puppies 6 – 16 weeks old. Proper socialization consisting of good experiences of a puppy with other puppies and lots of different ages, sizes and types of people will give you the best chance at having a well-adjusted dog.
5. What vaccines has the puppy had? How many shots has he received and when will the puppy be due for his next puppy shot?
6. Have the puppies been dewormed? All puppies are born with worms and routine deworming is recommended.
7. Have any of the puppies in the litter been sick? If so, what were the signs, the diagnosis and treatment?
8. What visits has the puppies had with the veterinarian? Have they been examined and declared "healthy"? If not, what problems have they had? Have they been on any medications?
9. What is their guarantee? What guarantee does the breeder give with their puppies? If the puppy is found to have a severe illness, what will they do? This is a difficult topic but one that is a lot easier to cover up front rather than later.
10. Recommendations? Ask the breeder for a couple references of puppy owners that they have sold within the past year. CALL them. Find out if the breeder was fair, if they were happy with their pups, and how any problems were handled.
11. Breeders contract? Does your breeder require a breeder's contract? If so, what is in it? Is the breeder willing to take back the puppy at any time, if you can't keep it?
12. Limited registration. Some breeders require that you spay or neuter your dog by a certain age. If that is the case, that may not be a problem but it is best to know before you get your puppy.
13. What is the family history? Ask if the breeder has information about the breed line. For example, ask how long the dogs have lived and what they have died from. Write it down. This may be important for monitoring your pet as he gets older.
14. What is the breeder currently feeding the puppy? Regardless of what they are feeding, it is ideal to continue feeding the same food for the first few days at home to minimize the risk of gastrointestinal disturbances. If you choose to change the diet, do it gradually.
15. Health certificate and certificate of sale. Ask the breeder if he will supply a health certificate for the puppy issued by his veterinarian. Some states require also a certificate of sale.
16. Does the breeder belong to a breed club? Ask for references.
Get your questions answered and feel very comfortable with your new puppy.

While the Mother Goose, second leg of the old NYRA Triple Crown series including the Acorn and mile and a half Coaching Club American Oaks, it's no longer even a 9-furlong event, with distance racing going the way of pedigree; short; shorter, shortest.
I guess the turning back of traditional route stakes in America was thought to be a possible boon to field size, but let's face it.
With so many opportunities around, horsemen duck and run, racing only when there might be a good chance that a blinking light will appear on the odds board, defining favoritism and a better chance victory.
But a funny thing happened on the way to the Mother Goose, the short field does not promise to be an easy spot for any of its five entrants of which four, in our view, would not shock anyone if picture taking ceremonies began shortly after the official is posted.
Of course, Contested (7-5) is the right overnight choice, what with her seeking a fifth straight victory and a speed-popping dominant score taking the one mile Acorn. That race was rapidly run, as was her prior.
Can such a fast filly sustain that speed another sixteenth? If pedigree means anything, she should. But these are young ladies we're talking about here, and she'll be making her third start in 51 days.
Next on the early line is only the Kentucky Oaks winner, Believe You Can (8-5). Now her spacing is much more desirable, not having run since the first Friday in May. And she's been training up a storm and her nine furlong was also super primo good when measured against the clock.
But I don't know what to make of that effort, the race having been run on a track, incorrectly labeled fast but contested over a surface that was pelted by one of those spring storms so popular in that neck of the woods.
It was Believe You Can and stretching speedster Broadway's Alibi running 1-2 all the way around. Not sure how to read that two turn result in light of today's mini-turnback minus one turn. And she drew the fence, with Contested alongside.
I can't even dismiss Disposablepleasure, whose 8-1 odds betray her chances. She, too, is coming from a two turn nine furlong event, the G2 Black-Eyed Susan, is which she finished second to an accomplished stablemate, In Lingerie.
She broke her maiden by 11 over Big Sandy and Ramon Dominguez will handle the reins. No easy spot, to be sure, but better than a puncher's punch. And then there's Zo Impressive (5-1).
Making her third start off a layup, she was forced to chase the un-Contested Baffert Filly for virtually the final three furlongs while racing wide, not the best trip at behemoth Belmont and compromising her kick, too, of course.
Breaking from the outside slip, it's hard to imagine Rajiv Maragh not inheriting a perfect setup. Given the dynamics, this could be interesting right to the finish, unless Contested happens to blow the Mother Goose wide open like she did the Acorn.
I'll gamble on Zo Impressive; 4-1 please.
Willing to take any price in the Boiling Springs because while the favorite, Somali Lemonade (3-1), is a deserving one, the price will not be anywhere near prohibitive as it was when she finished a one-paced fourth in the G2 Sands Point at 9-10.
Although listed firm, there was some cut in the ground that afternoon at Belmont and, of course, the fractions were laughably slow. She would have had to be the reincarnation of the Winter Memories of 2011 to get that job done.
Now making her third start off a layoff for Michael Matz, a profitable outcome in that scenario (BRIS) for the Fair Hill-based conditioner, and returning to a two turn trip which a notch drop to the G3 level, she rates to be the most probable winner.
Far from a layover, she's still a lot better filly than the one that failed to show anything on Long Island on Memorial Day.
While she does lose the convalescing Johnny Velazquez, she attracts Joe Rocco Jr. If you're not too familiar with this leggy youngster, he impressed as a natural race rider this winter at Gulfstream Park and is a very good finisher. I'm curious to see how he gets along with the former G3 winner.
The toughest competition figures to come out of the Monmouth prep for this, the Little Silver overnight stakes on May 27. The problem is that the first four finishers out of that mile two turner are all back for the mile and sixteenth Boiling Springs.
Find the replay at your favorite online source and decide for yourselves. The trips were instructive, to be sure, but that does little to solve the problem. Dancing Solo (7-2) finished like a wild horse, winning as much the best. The Pletcher trainee gets Jersey Joe back and has proven her affinity for the surface.
However, Senator Buck (10-1) perhaps finished even faster, albeit too late, for third; Glamour N Glory (4-1) made a good mid-race move to place gamely, and check out Cheimon's (10-1) very wide sweep on the far turn before tiring in the final strides, fourth.
And who knows what to make of Euro import Destiny's Child, making her U.S. debut for Team Valor who just keeps purchasing the medication free, stout and sound German-breds?
My approach will be to check out Destiny's Child in the post parade, peruse the tote, and then take the best prices the odds board has to offer, using Somali Lemonade defensively.
Right now, the lean is towards Cheimon. Her wide draw demands odds of 10-1 or greater.
