The State of Lee
[Jun. 26th, 2012|
04:01 pm
Welp my birthday came and went. It was actually really nice not to do anything on my birthday actually.
So from the last post it looked like I was about to blow my artistic head off because of my terrible acting. Well not really all that true...and of course like most people I am overdramatic. But I was really depressed.
So since then I have gone on 2 more auditions. Both were awkward and kinda horrible. The first one was for a local small theatre company that is starting their season with Ceasar. So I got the sides and went in to audition. I did a bit of prep work, but not a hell of a lot. I got there and went into the audition and said hi to the director (who I had maybe met once before) and hi to the Artistic Director (a really nice, but awkward guy). I tried to make some small talk since there were no other auditionees outside, figured they had some time. But they weren't having it at all. Kinda awkward if they wanted me to begin. I did the monologue, it was ok, I rushed through it and didn't take my time which I should have...but they didn't seem to want to wait for things so I rushed...we stood there when I was done looking at each other for about 30 seconds. Then I asked if they needed to see any more? Nope they were good...so I left. I was like, well that was interesting and kinda awkward, but from everyone I asked...all the auditions were that way...very weird, but nice that the company is still thinking about me and to be called in is always cool.
The next audition was for a mid size SPT house in DC. I have heard its one of the best places for Actors to work in DC. I had done a reading there once and they were nice, but it was a little rushed. So I went in for my audition. The side for the audition was 4 pages long. It was impressive. I went in for a role that everyone else around me auditioning for the same role was 20 years older then I am at least. The role was meant for a 50 year old man and I don't think i even come close to that...but it was nice to read and audition and very nice to be called in.
both were very nice and with a new mindset of having to practice auditioning again was great to get my feet wet.
Also on the suggestion of my friend Gwen, I signed up for 2 workshop classes. I did the first one last weekend. It was an Alexander Technique class. Very hippy dippy touchy feely weird flowing energy stuff. Not really my thing other then body work I really like. So i tried it and it was great. Great reminder of how the body works and functions and how things build and stretch and struggle. The harderest part of the class was putting down my own ego and snarky nature. My instinct was to judge and make fun of the class (which would have been pretty easy), but I tried to make a concerted effort to turn off my brain and just let things be what they are. which was another great rehearsal for me and excersie that was needed.
in 2 weeks I take a physical comedy class which should be fun.
Life has been pretty good. Megan is amazing and she gave me this wok and movie for my birthday, but the best thing was this card she made me with a picture of me and mole holding hands walking down a path. The inside was just this great release of feelings she has for me and I for her. it was really amazing and I did tear up.
So upcoming is an Inkwell event and some other things, but really I am just kinda tired so yea.

Melancholy and the infinite Lee
[Jun. 7th, 2012|
05:29 pm
so I think I am going to start writing in this journal again.
I am feeling pretty low and I am not sure what to do about it.
So most things in my life are either amazing or pretty good. My girlfriend is amazing and supportive and wonderful and most days I don't know why she is dating a schlub and fuck up like me. Inkwell is going pretty amazing (other then some shake ups that are happening and scary) we are getting great press and wonderful shout outs from both the local new play community and the larger new play community. Work is pretty good. Lots of promo video projects the past couple months but casting is starting to gear up and so is filming so we will have some stuff to edit pretty soon. I have been hanging out with lots of random people and doing random things and thats been fun.
The big thing is performance. After getting raises and promotions at the day job I had pulled back from Acting and auditioning so much. I knew we were building Inkwell and I knew the Job was going to take a lot of time and effort that I didn't always have the energy for...but I still got in the occasional show. After almost a year break I did Mary Stuart with WSC and over a year from that I did Astro Boy at Studio 2nd Stage. I didn't audition very much but the ones I did audition for I really fucking wanted. Bobrochenberg America at Forum, After the Quake at Rorschach, I thnk there was one more in there....and most recently (as of Sunday) Rorschach's production of A Maze by Rob Handle.
I can't tell you how much I bombed that audition...I can't tell you how weak and rusty I felt...I also can't tell you how looking around the room of people called back with me that no one there (save Jon Reynolds) had the skill and experience that I have. I just sucked at the callback though...which is sad. I sucked so bad after 1 try on 2 different roles, Randy came out and said, "That they had seen enough, I was good to go." I was crushed. Seriously had the wind taken out of me. I have never done this before, but I begged for 1 more shot. Thank god they are my friends and let me take another shot at a role. This last time I think I did pretty good. I had an interesting start, but took Grady's adjustment like a pro and both of them let me know I did good with the adjustment.
But well its been 4 days. The fact that I currently work for Grady I know he casts almost by the next day. I also know that some people have already been offered roles...but I don't know who was offered the role I was up for.
I think I always took rejection pretty hard. A large part of me wants to be loved and accepted by everyone and anyone. I want to be respected and looked up to and truly loved by all. And when I don't get into something, I take it terribly. I take it like a break up. It sucks...I mean my job is a casting director and I know there are countless reasons why someone gets cast and someone else doesn't...but still all I want to do is cry and curl into a ball because I think people don't like me. Because I wasn't good enough. Because I am a bad person.
I know that isn't the case logically. I know that all is good and that there may be other reasons...I have been difficult to work with in the past, I didn't give an amazing audition, I am really fucking rusty, etc.
I just can't help feeling like shit. Feeling like less of a person. Feeling like...I made a mistake and theatre isn't what I should be doing.
I love Megan, though. She tries so hard to help and make me feel better and be supportive and is truly the most loving and amazing person I know. But there is something in me, don't know if it is how I was raised or if it just grew up with me, but when I get in moods like this I just can't feel it. I have no confidence I have not faith in myself. I still love everyone and I still like to make them feel better, but being casts in shows for some reason validates me.
Not as much as megan does. She is the most important thing in my world and I feel so much less of a person when she is away...but second to that is getting cast in things, or asked to do things by people I respect.
Its sad really that I put so much of my self worth on other peoples shoulders. I guess I am just a sad person.

So tomorrow I get on a plane and go to Louisana for a week.
Oh perhaps I should update you on the comings and goings. As soon as Inkwell ended I took a week off and didn't speak to anyone or do anything (other then Megan, and then an XX event, and then saw Life is a Dream). So after that week on Saturday and Sunday I went to work for WILL interactive. I still have no day job, and thus no money. So my buddies Grady and Jonathan suggested me for a PA job with WILL. It will give me eneough money to survive for a while. So I did the PA thing on those days, and it was cool, boring but cool.
Well that tuesday I woke up and couldn't really move my leg...it just hurt. So I iced it and ibprofined it...and took megan to an audtion that night. Well again the next morning I couldn't walk and it hurt like a bitch. So I went to the hospital...they took an X-ray and no bone damage,but without an MRI they had no idea. So I just worked on it for the past week, no walking icing then heating and lots of ibprofin. Well its a bit better...I can kinda walk but my knee is huge, it probably needs to be drained (fucking gross).
But all this is to say that I have a flight to go to Louisiana in 7 hours to be a PA for a week for WILL interactive. Should be fun, but I always get this way, whenever I hvae something early to do in the morning and I need to be somewhere early I jsut can't sleep. fucking sucks.
Eh so random thoughts...good news is that in about a month Megan and I will have been dating for a year...which is amazing, and wonderful. I just got cast in another show for Active Cultures. I am going to be playing Sleepy in Jackie Lawton's new show "Mad Breed". It is a part she says she wrote with me in mind...which is crazy...and amazing...I have some auditions and job interviews when I get back into town.
Ok I am tired of wrtting...I love you all...I truly do.
George I miss you man.
Jenna I miss you angel.
Megan I love you so much.
Gwen you are cooler then Vanilla Ice
Ira...I am proud of you.

"I've been makin time with a miner's son" by James McManus
Oh my God!!!! I am finally done!!!!
Ok so I haven't posted in forever and I am sure I didn't fill everyone in on the happenings of the past month and the world at large...so I will try and make this as fill in as possible
Last March I got an email from Deborah Kirby and Jenny McConnel Fredrick saying that there was going to be, for the first time ever, a DC non-equity audtion. This would be held at Wolly Mammooth Theatre for 2 days and would host about 15-20 DC non-equity companies (including Rorschach, Journeymen, Forum, Open Circle, Constelation, and others). Well I appllied to audition and wrote that if they need help that weekend that I was avaible and would be willing to work. Well they said that I could work for a couple hours the first day before audtioning. Well when I got there Kimberly Kissyon (the lady running the auditions) put me as a runner and introducer of actors to the audtioners. Good fun time. Well they were a little short staffed so I worked the whole day. And they were impressed by how hard and focused I was at making sure things went smooth. So the next day when my girlfriend, Megan, went to audition they were short staffed again so I stayed to help out. And afterwords we went out for a drink at a bar. Well there I got introduced to Jessi Burgess (a DC area director and good friend), Michael Dove (Artistic Director of Forum Theatre), and Dan Prisarnkle (Casting director for Arena). We chatted forever and Jessi and I chatted about theatre and the state of Equity in DC and lots of other great theatre topics.
A couple months later I got invited to a meeting about a new works festival that Jessi was having with a bunch of theatre artist at her friend Eileen's house. well we met and chatted and eventualy a company was formed, The Inkwell. This company was gonig to do new works festivals that focused on the playwrite process and assisting them on the creation of new works. Well we did 4 stage readings at the Kennedy Center Page 2 Stage Festival and this January we got a full month at H street Playhouse to do whatever we wanted.
Well it came down to it that Jessi, myself, and Anne McCaw (a playwright) became the driving force on planning the festival. We planned out rehearsal, panel discussions, classes, and performances. It was hectic. For a full month I was pretty much going full steam. I had days where I would get to the space at 10 am, build some of the set with some peeps, take a quick break for some food, get back clean the space for a panel discussion, then close the space at the end of the night and repeate the next day. All the time taking calls from Actors, Deisginers, and Directors on the festivals coming and goings.
This past week we showed the Inkubator productions. If you want to learn what they are just ask me at some point. Well we did 6 days of 2 shows in true rep and even a staged reading on Saturday morning that I performed in. Then Sunday night we struck the set and everything and got out of the theatre. It was amazing. Serioulsy the greatest thing I have been a part of so far in my life. We had a group of hella dedicated people who worked their asses off and ended up putting on something never before done and greatly recieved in town. It was amazing. Serioulsy ask me more about it and I will gush for hours.
So now I have crashed...I now have nothign to do for a couple days and I am crazied and crashed. But thats where I am at.
Oh and I accepted an offer to perform in a new work by local dramaturg and playwright Jackie Lawton. Should be fun.
Lots going on and lots moving forward. Can't wait to see it all.
Love you all and hope to see you all soon.

"I don't do saddness" -From Spring Awakening
So I am a fucked up individual.
Yes I am admiting it. I am fucked up and don't think I have any hope of fixing the problem. Cause thats what I do in life. I fix problems. I see something thats wrong and I have to fix it. I don't know why. Its just how I am. I just need to make it work, well I am fucked up and not working.
Seriously, I am writting these words while tears are streaming down my face and I hate everythign about it. I mean its so fucking sterotypical of a fucking blog to only write when you are upset, but more often then not lately I am upset.
I don't know if its this time of year, or where I am in life, or whatever the fuck else is going on, but I don't know how much more I can take. I am tired of not doing what makes me artistic and creatively happy. I am tired of not getting the role, of having to much experience, of having not eneough experience, of having this boss like me, but this other boss hate me. I am tired of loving someone that can't love me or show they love me. I am tired of having friends that turn their backs on me. I am tired of feeling the weight of the world on my shoulders and not being able to lift it any more. I am just fucking tired. God I am so tired.
But nothing will change. I will keep moving forward at a snails pace. I will keep hoping that the girl I love, will eventualy love me back. I will keep working trying to make it up the ladder, keep fighting knowing I am better then what I am doing. I am going to keep working on fixing myself. I Have to.
If I didn't...well that woudl be when it ends. that would be the last moment.
I really miss you all. I seriously do. I miss having people I can trust my secrets too. I wish I could find more people. I wish I didn't feel like a superhero, having to keep one idenity hidden at all times, having to keep people at a distance, having to put on the brave face.
But again life is what it is and this is the path I am put on. So I will keep walking. Keep trying, and one day...I will win.

Being Mobile: Online Safety and Security
The convenience of anytime, anywhere access enables us to stay connected and be more productive while "on the go". That flexibility comes with responsibility, and it is important to consider the security of the devices we use to connect, as well as where and how we connect.
Protect Yourself and Your Device
Your information and your mobile device have tremendous value. Today's mobile devices are more powerful than ever and need to be secured just like your desktop or laptop. Passwords, updates, backups and encryption still apply.
Here are a few simple steps to consider.

- Think before you app — Verify the apps has a good reputation and understand what data the app will access. Configure the app to automatically update.
- Be careful with WiFi — Your cell carrier is the best choice. Use only secure WiFi networks like MC3WAVES. Turn off WiFi when you aren't using it to stay secure and save battery!
- Recover It — Install a Find My Device app that can track a lost device or erase data remotely.

France Shrugs off Moody's Downgrade
The French government has downplayed the importance of rating agency Moody's decision to deprive the country of its top triple-A credit rating.
Moody's downgraded France's debt from Aaa to Aa1, and kept its negative outlook, meaning it could be cut again.
Moody's blamed stalled economic growth, the risk of a Greek euro exit and the risk that France has to contribute to bailing out other eurozone countries.
"Judge us on our results," French Finance Minister Pierre Moscovici said.
Moscovici said the downgrade was motivation to pursue structural reforms and threw the blame for it on the economic management of previous governments.
Rival ratings agency Standard & Poor's downgraded France from AAA in January. Of the big three agencies, only Fitch still gives France its top rating.
"The rating in no way places a question over the fundamentals of our country's economy - neither the reforms undertaken by the government, nor the quality of the signature on our debt," said Moscovici.
He pointed to the fact that Moody's had only downgraded its rating of the country's long-term debts by one notch, and still gave France's short-term debts its top rating.
The finance minister said Moody's decision reinforced the need for the government to pass a package of economic reforms that is proving unpopular with voters.
The ratings agency's move had not affected sentiment on the financial markets, which still held French debts in high regard, the government claimed.
"France still represents sound value. It is in second place just after Germany," said government spokesperson Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, speaking on French radio.
"Even today, investors lend to France in very favourable conditions. For example, we make short-term borrowings at negative rates, and that is going to continue."
Moody's said the primary reason for the downgrade had been France's "persistent structural economic challenges" and the threats they pose to economic growth and the government's coffers.
"These include the rigidities in labour and services markets, and low levels of innovation, which continue to drive France's gradual but sustained loss of competitiveness and the gradual erosion of its export-oriented industrial base," Moody's said.

The earrings are a great size and color. The only problem I've found is that the post isn't aligned in the back to the center of the stone -- which means when it moves around, it's not centered on my ears. Other than that it's a great purchase.
I have in both garnet and citrine and love them! I would definitely recommend these.
Sturdy product. Earrings I can wear for a long time. Color of gem is foggy and pale compared to other citrine I own.
I bought these as a gift for a graduating 5th grader. She was quite happy with them and wore them to her closing ceremony.
I gave these earrings to my daughter as an 8th grade graduation gift, and she loves them. Citrine is her birthstone, so I have looked at other citrine jewlelry in the past, and these are the nicest earrings I have seen--good size (not too small, not too big), beautiful color, nice sterling silver setting. Very classy.
Very nice pair of earrings and beautiful color. Received item very quickly

5 Things You Didn't Know About 'The Office'
11 Obvious 'Friends' Mistakes You Won't Believe You Missed
The fact that Aerosmith has stayed together for 42 years and counting is impressive. Here, Joe explains what it takes to survive the turmoil inherent in being part of a rock 'n' roll supergroup.
We're driving around Palm Springs and Udo Kier is asking me to check on his ball. Has it arrived? I'm not certain what he's talking about. A ball has not been mentioned yet today, but as we slowly creep past his block, I check for a ball as if this is the most normal thing to do.
Joan Rivers was, up until the very end, right at the top of her game -- sharper than a tack. And she wasn't done. Damn it.
"He's the most exciting actor I've ever worked with. His ideas are limitless, his enthusiasm is infectious, he loves making movies, and he makes you love the process with him."
After finishing the first leg of his tour with backing band Dawes, Oberst embarked on a West Coast tour that included a new backing band and three very special shows in Los Angeles.
Colicchio's family includes a total of 12 immigrants -- eight of whom came through Ellis Island, three more who entered via New York earlier (one just four months prior to its opening), and a solitary ancestor who opted for Philadelphia.
Seeing Richard Gere and Bill Murray -- as well as their new films -- back to back this week invites comparison: movie stars for the past 35 years, they continue to do superlative work in both Hollywood and independent films.
Stewart's commitment to this independent drama -- and her appearance in front of hundreds of law school students Tuesday -- seems far from the "celebrity headlines" she often elicits.
It is my favorite thing. I'm never happier than when I'm part of an ensemble. The rhythm of working in a group and the dynamic of each individual relationship within that group coming together is such a special thing.
For the same reason that the greats like Paul Newman and Al Pacino didn't win until late in their careers (Newman in 1987 for The Color of Money and Pacino in 1993 for The Scent of a Woman)... timing.
I haven't seen a Joaquin Phoenix film since I'm Still Here back in 2010. I was reminded of what a brilliant actor he is. Not only did he bring an innocence to a role that could have been played much darker, but he brought a physical humor to it.
I talked with the multi-talented Lovato about all her various projects and why she feels so passionately called to use her platform to help and inspire others.
Friedrich Nietzsche certainly would be proud of his 21st century protégé. Kanye West probably wouldn't care.
Talented as both a singer and a songwriter, she has already developed a reputation for forging her own path and is not afraid to call herself a feminist. Confident and resourceful young women are not uncommon in New Zealand, but Lorde's unique talents have allowed her to impact a vast audience.
Every once in awhile, I like to ask a big group of stars: How the heck do you stay so skinny. Here are their answers.
If we stop finding this all so funny, maybe it will give the girl some space to acknowledge there's a problem and then, ideally, get help for it.
He's played with the greats, from Frank Sinatra to Stevie Wonder, and has a slew of number one hits to his credit, including his version of "On Broadway."
JLo, you just redefined the image that the world has of a 45-year-old woman. You celebrate the sexual power of a beautiful big booty in your new "Booty" video and destroy the idea that women over 40 are over.

Horrible school. I can't even express that enough. The only good teacher they have there is Mr. Seuipal and Ms. Suarez, I heard Ms. Suarez is gone, and Seuipal is still there, he was tuff on everyone, but everyone passed and did well with him. They deserve to work elsewhere anywhere. The extracurricular activities suck and there's a very small amount of children there.
St. Philip Neri is not the best school around and has very few good teachers. The technology teacher is fine my child never complains about him in fact she says he is one of the few good teachers in that school besides: Mark Sieupaul, Annie Rivers, Jessica Bitz, Jennifar Amos, and Lorraine Oritz.Iam happy teachers like them are in that school they made it worth sending my child there for the last 6 1/2 years
I have a prek child in this school. I am very disappointed with the school. When I first toured the school there was an older experienced pre k teacher. When my child started The lady had retired. Now as stated on another review. The children do not go out even though the school have a back yard. As far as I can tell they play and sleep for an hour and fifteen mins each day. It is not a prek as in "School" is more like pre k as in DAYCARE. "Gym" is inside they only take the children out when is time to go.my child is happy I have no complaints in that regard, but which child is not happy with friends and play time? Academically they do not do and will not challenge your chils. They will take care of the children, give them a few activities and thats it. If your child shows ability to do more they will not challenge him/her. If So we have childrlearning to count to 20 and the abc's that's it. That's what is required and that s what they will do. I am pulling my child out as soon as the year is over. I believe those early years are the most important in a child's life and St. Philip Neri unfortunately does not have the same believe.
pre school school unexpectedly closes due to ongoing boiler repairs janitor is always in the classroom like if he was a one of the pre k teachers its just odd ..the kids are sorounded by four walls no windows blinds are shut ...kids are not let out to play outside
I have two children attending this school and I am not happy with the school. There is gym and technology class which might as well be non existent because my children come home telling me that he does nothing with them, plays on he phone during gym. As for technology class they don't learn anything in this class except how to play games on the computer because that's all they do while he once again plays games on his phone. They don't do anything really except complain that they don't want to go on field trips, help with dances or any fund raisers, they don't even do field day, they want to get payed for every minute of their time. They complain about parents not wanting to volunteer and help out around the school but really who would want to with the attitudes of the teachers and principal which are NOT welcoming. Plus if you do volunteer to help you give a inch they want to take a mile but do not know how show their gratitude but ask for more. PLEASE GET A REAL GYM AND TECHNOLOGY TEACHER because the one that is there is the teacher for both class but not even doing a proper job. Not One last thing just because the staff denies bullying is going on in the school WAKE UP IT IS.
I was a student here and could not wait until I graduated. I can not stress how horrible this school is. Some teachers are good and some teachers are horrible. I found most of them are completely unorganized and don't bother teaching students correctly. I have lost count of how many times teachers used their phones or chatted with other talkative students. I remember my fifth grade teacher stopping the middle of a lesson to answer a question that one of my extroverted peers had asked. Answering a question is completely fine but dropping the whole lesson to answer the question AND TO CHAT WITH A STUDENT AS IF SHE WAS A FRIEND is just terrible. Most teachers are quite harsh and give unfair punishments. As a former student, you may think I'll be a tad biased but I had never received punishment or one of the teachers' famous yelling storms but only observed other troublemakers. The principle useless. She has done little to nothing for the improvement of that school. There are no field trips at all and we rarely had events. The school is disgusting and hot in the summer. Myself and many friends have found ourself fainting. They have AC but they are bloody useless. There are huge bugs.
I have experienced many disappointments since Mrs Heed became principal. She hears nothing and does nothing to resolove issues. She has enabled inappropriate behavior from staff. I transferred my children because of the amount of stress that the school has given me. The teachers never respond when you call. They call when its to late. They are Overwhelmed and disorginized as whole. The teacher are unprofessional with worse behavior than the children. Its one thing to have to watch over your children, its another when you have to treat the teachers the same way.
I have 2 children attending St. Philip Neri school now and I'm impressed with the lower school but the upper school is horrible. Some teachers don't get back to you in time with any academic issues until it's too late, the principal is horrible because like another parent stated -she has her own agenda. Mrs. Heed came from the administrative office not as an experienced educator nor prinicipal. She doesn't listen to the parents. I stayed because the lower school is excellent but i'm thinking about elsewhere. The bathroom is dreary, 2 toilets on the 1st. floor, no papertowels, soap, and only 1 sink. There's no guidance after school for the kids.. The $300.00 mandatory fundraising fee should pay for some of the fixtures or services needed for the students. The lunch is served cold with complaints but there's a fee, the gym teacher smokes all day and don't give too much of a workout for the kids, the music teacher is gone, and no language class .The school is promising but it starts with getting rid of the leadership and listen to the parents testimonials. This was once the # 1 catholic school in the Bronx- lets start the trend again
At St. Philip Neri children are expected to succeed. The teachers really care, the principal is excellent. As a nervous parent that I am I don't feel comfortable leaving my daughter anywhere, But as soon as I visited the school and saw how everyone acts like a big family, the parents care, the teachers go the extra mile for the students and the principal is very involved. I recommend this school to all parents. If you are serious about your child's education this is the school for you. My child is now in the first grade and I couldn't be happier with the school, i look forward to enrolling my son as well for next years kindergarten class.
My children attend this school and now that the school is under a new princpal Mrs. Heed it has been improving so much.
I transfer my 5 yr old daughter out of this school in November and put her in The learning tree prep school. The best decision I ever made!!!! The classrooms at St Philip neri were overcrowded. There is no diversity in the teaching staff , which is needed. My daughter was not happy at this school. When she asked for extra help she was often ignore by the teacher. The teacher told me she could not give my daughter the extra attention she needed, because she has alot of students(28). My daughter felt stupid, so she would cry alot or rebel in different ways. In the new school the teachers were very helpful and gave my daughter the extra attention she needed. she is making nice progress academically and she received an award for most improved student . St Philip Neri has alot of catching up to do!!!!
I am an alumnae and a parent of a current SPN student, I must say that I am absolutely impressed with the new principal, Mrs. Heed. She's loving, understanding and really seems to genuinely care about the students and the future of the school. The school has incredible teachers like Mr. Seuipaul and Mrs. Martin, both of which were my instructors when I attended SPN. This school was one of the top 5 schools in the Bronx when I attended years ago, and I have all the confindence in the world that under the new principal's direction, SPN will be number 1 once again!! Great community, great teachers, great staff, great students, and definitely great parents that really care about their children's education and school. I would reccommend SPN to anyone who wants a outsanding education in a safe and clean environment!! SPN is rising back to the top!
I used to go to that school, and it is a great school with great teachers such as Mr. Seuipaul and Mrs. Martin. Their the two that made SPN great, but they were under a horrible direction the last two years.
I am hoping and praying that the new principal will take SPN in a new direction after two years of horrible/ non-existent leadership. Most of the teachers are very dedicated and just need some support and a little bit of freedom to get things back on track. This school has gone through so many changes in the past ten years, but could be great again, given the right person to take charge. Please allow the parents to be more involved, and try to bring back teachers like Mr. Broglia, who made SPN an amazing school!
I an alumnae and a parent whose 8 year old has attended this school since Pre-K. The teachers and education system is excellent. The only problem with the school is the principal. She speaks to the parents as though they are children. A new principal would make the school a lot better. I do not feel she has the best interests of the children at heart when she runs the school. There have been prinicipals before her, who have shown great appreciation towards the parents and the children who attend SPN.
I have a daughter in the SPN Pre K and i feel the the teachers are great! they are attentive, patient and are incredible educators. They teach those Pre k 3 and Pre k 4 children the fundamentals of will be a very long school career. In saying that i also think that the SPN teachers should receive praise for putting up with a Principal who seems to have her own agenda and is not entirely concern with the teachers input. The principal made the fist few weeks of school (FY 08-09) very confusing changing rules and regulations on a daily basis. The principal might meet with the teachers often but does not seem to care or want to listen to there advice or concerns, although they are with the children 8-10 hours a day, 5 days a week. I believe that with new leadership this school will shine!
I've been here for 6 years and I had been shocked all these years. Before, this school was excellent and controlled. Now, many issues are happening. We have dance class for gym. The auditorium needs the ceiling fixed. We need good heating and air conditioning. Most importantly, we need safety. Many problems happened and the principal fixed these situations, but the parents were never informed on the problems. I have made invaluable friendships through the years. The teachers are amazingly caring and knowledgeable.
I am sorry to say that this school once out shinned others,but the shine has gone away.I have had my child their since Kindergarden but this will be her last yaer at this school.The school needs a major wake-up call. We as parents do our part in putting up with lots of fundraisers,No Gym teacher in stead a dance classs? ,No Music teacher, School Rules that do not become enforced.I say it's time to go.Starting this Sept.08 fall classes are going to be combined from two class rooms to one,due to major cutbacks at the schooI. I would recomend for parents who work hard to pay for your child education to look before sending your child to this school.
I feel the teachers at this school are great, however staff coordination is non-existent, each person will tell you a different 'policy' according to how they prefer it, usually to get more money out of you. Also, as with other parents the fundraisers are endless. My son was sent home with a box of candy and an envelope. There was no letter explaining why they were selling, or when it was due. I would look around before having your child attend this school, and if you live in the neighborhood of a 'decent' public school, consider it.
For the most part, I have been pleased with what SPN has to offer my children. It is a close-knit community with a strong Catholic tradition, and the majority of the teachers are very caring, dedicated and enthusiastic. There are a number of extracurricular activities available, although the communication with the parents about these (including written schedules of practices and events) is not the greatest and could be improved. Unfortunately, we can't seem to hold on to a principal for more than two or three years (for various reasons), and we are still waiting to see what the new principal will bring to the school. I wish her the best! I also feel that there are a few teachers (2 or 3) who have been there too long and are possibly burned-out, as they seem to have no patience for any of the students and confuse even the best students.

She (Dagny) thought suddenly that she was wrong about his lack of emotion: the hidden undertone of his manner was enjoyment. She realized that she had always felt a sense of light-hearted relaxation in his presence and known that he shared it. He was the only man she knew to whom she could speak without strain or effort. This, she thought, was a mind she respected, an adversary worth matching. Yet there had always been an odd sense of distance between them, the sense of a closed door; there was an impersonal quality in his manner, something within him that could not be reached.
"Hank, this is great." "Yes." He said it simply, openly. There was no flattered pleasure in his voice, and no modesty. This, she knew, was a tribute to her, the rarest one person could pay another: the tribute of feeling free to acknowledge one's own greatness, knowing that it is understood.
She looked at him in the exact moment when he turned to look at her. They stood very close to each other. She saw, in his eyes, the he felt as she did. If joy is the aim and the core of existence, she thought, and if that which has the power to give one joy is always guarded as one's deepest secret, then they had seen each other naked in that moment.

Justin Smoak Rumors
Cafardo On Smoak, Orioles, Myers, Twins
A good catcher can take a pitching staff to the next level, and that's why David Ross might be the Red Sox's top addition this year, writes Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe. A catcher like Ross can throw out a runner, block a ball at an opportune time, and get a pitcher straightened out if he's lost his composure. In that regard, Ross could give Boston what they missed last season following Jason Varitek's retirement. Here's more from Cafardo..
- According to a major league source, the Orioles are said to have some interest in Mariners first baseman Justin Smoak. Seattle can afford to part with Smoak after acquiring Kendrys Morales from the Angels. The O's also have been linked to Adam LaRoche, but they are hesitant to give up a draft pick to sign him.
- While the Twins already have acquired Vance Worley in the Ben Revere deal with the Phillies, and have signed Kevin Correia, Mike Pelfrey, and Rich Harden, they could still explore a signing of Brett Myers. We last heard of Minnesota's interest in Myers roughly three weeks ago. The right-hander should also garner interest from the Padres.
- Lance Berkman would be a nice fit for the Red Sox if his right knee is okay after two knee surgeries last season. The Sox have been looking for a left handed-hitting first baseman/outfielder and the 36-year-old switch-hitter would fit the bill.

Mariners Interested In Garrett Jones
The Mariners have talked with the Pirates about first baseman/right fielder Garrett Jones in recent weeks, according to Geoff Baker of the Seattle Times. Baker stresses that it was just one of the many conversations the M's have had with clubs, but the discussion went beyond just one phone call and names were batted back-and-forth.
One proposal had Jones and Pirates closer Joel Hanrahan and possibly another player going to the Mariners in exchange for first baseman Justin Smoak, catcher John Jaso, and starting pitcher Hector Noesi. The Bucs have let other teams know that Hanrahan is available and were said to be seeking rotation help in return.
Jones, 31, had a .274/.317/.516 batting line with 27 home runs in 515 plate appearances for the Pirates last year. We saw the first baseman/right fielder on the pages of MLBTR last offseason as the Yankees reportedly had interest in trading for him.
Hanrahan, also 31, posted a 2.72 ERA with 10.1 K/9 and 5.4 BB/9 last season in Pittsburgh. The closer earned $4.1MM last season and is in line to earn $6.9MM for 2013 in his final year of arbitration. Jones earned $2.25MM in 2012 after heading to arbitration in his first year of eligibility and is projected to make $4.4MM. Baker writes that the Pirates may be motivated to make a deal like this in order to ease their payroll burden.

AL West Notes: Ross, Hamilton, Angels, League
Links from the AL West, before the Rangers and Yu Darvish host the Angels and C.J. Wilson in Arlington…
- The Rangers offered left-hander Robbie Ross to the Mets in a package of players for Carlos Beltran last summer, Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com reports (Twitter link). The Mets ultimately passed on Ross and obtained Zack Wheeler from the Giants.
- The Rangers would do well to sign Josh Hamilton to a short-term deal at a high average annual value, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports writes. A four-year $100MM deal could work, Rosenthal suggests. The MLBPA views drug and alcohol-related contract provisions as unenforceable, according to Rosenthal, who offers a short history of related disputes between teams and players.
- The Angels aren't seeking outside catching help now, Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com tweets. They'll rely on internal options such as Bobby Wilson until Chris Iannetta returns from wrist surgery one or two months from now.
- Dave Cameron of U.S.S. Mariner says the Mariners should shop Brandon League before his value drops because Seattle's bullpen could manage without him and rival teams would be interested in potential trades.
- Mariners first baseman Justin Smoak was once a top prospect, but ESPN.com's Jim Bowden says we should adjust our expectations for him and accept that he's not going to be a middle-of-the-order hitter.

Quick Hits: Cubs, McCann, Cespedes, Smoak, Broxton
Some links as Tuesday turns into Wednesday…
- "Like I've always said, there is one person responsible for making those decisions, and one person accountable for those results," said Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts to reporters (including Paul Sullivan of The Chicago Tribune) when asked about the possibility of signing a player to a mammoth contract. "So if [Theo Epstein] believes strongly that's what's in the best interests of the team, then he's got my support." Earlier today we heard that the Cubs are pursuing both Albert Pujols and Prince Fielder.
- Dave O'Brien of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution wonders if the Braves will offer Brian McCann a long-term contract extension soon. The six-time All-Star will make $11.5MM in 2012 and the team holds a $12MM club option for 2013, so there's no urgency to get a deal done at the moment.
- Nationals GM Mike Rizzo is currently in the Dominican Republic scouting Cuban outfielder Yoenis Cespedes, reports MLB.com's Bill Ladson. On Monday we heard that Washington views Cespedes as an alternative to Fielder.
- The Mariners have interest in Fielder, and Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports says (on Twitter) that they would make Justin Smoak available in a trade if they manage to sign the free agent slugger.
- Before he agreed to join the Royals, the Red Sox expressed interest in Jonathan Broxton according to Scott Lauber of The Boston Herald. Broxton wanted to sign before the winter meetings, and Lauber's source said that was "a little quicker than [the Sox] were comfortable with."
- There is no more than a "10 percent" chance that Rays GM Andrew Friedman could be convinced to take the Astros GM job according to one executive that spoke to Friedman and ESPN's Jayson Stark (Twitter link).
- Yankees GM Brian Cashman offered a "would not say" to George A. King III of The New York Post when asked if he has any interest in Japanese shortstop Hiroyuki Nakajima. The Seibu Lions posted Nakajima on Monday.
- Kelvim Escobar hopes to pitch in winter ball next month, agent Peter Greenberg told Mike Puma of The New York Post (Twitter link). The 35-year-old righty hopes to get back to MLB despite having pitched in just one game since 2007.

AL West Notes: Angels, DiSarcina, Mariners
Earlier today, we learned that the Angels dismissed assistant GM Ken Forsch and special assistant Gary Sutherland. This comes after the Halos parted ways with GM Tony Reagins on Friday. Here are some notes on their GM search and other items out of the American League West..
- Today's dismissals make the possibility seem unlikely, but if the Angels decide to fill their GM vacancy from within, two candidates stand out above all the rest, writes Mike DiGiovanna of the Los Angeles Times. Gary DiSarcina, the former shortstop who is a special assistant to the GM, and Tory Hernandez, the team's manager of baseball operations, would have the best crack at the job. Meanwhile, Oakland assistant GM David Forst and Chicago White Sox assistant GM Rick Hahn are believed to be very interested in the position.
- The Halos are fighting perception that team is run in total by manager Mike Scioscia, tweets Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated. A competing GM remarked to Heyman that "[Scioscia is] the GM" of the club.
- Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (via Twitter) echoed similar sentiments, wondering aloud if the Angels will hire an actual GM or another figurehead for the position.
- The Mariners used this past season as a developmental year for their young players, but GM Jack Zduriencik is open to bringing in key veterans to bolster that group next season, writes Greg Johns of MLB.com. Of course, Zduriencik expects a major boost from within with a healthy return of Franklin Gutierrez and a stronger year from Justin Smoak.

What's Next For The Mariners?
The Mariners cashed in their biggest chip yesterday, dealing Cliff Lee to the Rangers for Justin Smoak and three prospects. With the team currently 34-52 and 16 games back in the division, it's reasonable to expect GM Jack Zduriencik to continue making moves geared more towards contending in 2011 than righting the ship in 2010.
Geoff Baker of The Seattle Times points out that with Smoak set to man first on an every day basis, the Mariners now have three players (Milton Bradley, Russell Branyan, and Michael Saunders) for two roster spots (left field, designated hitter). Bradley's sore knee buys them some time, and Saunders could also be optioned to Triple-A, but flipping Branyan to a contender looking for some pop is very possible.
Saunders was almost sent to Philadelphia in last winter's Lee deal before the Phillies' requested Tyson Gillies instead, and Baker says the Zduriencik regime "hasn't exactly been in love" with holdover prospects from the Bill Bavasi era. Saunders could again find himself on the chopping block.
Backup first baseman Casey Kotchman could go at any time, though it's tough to believe there will be much trade interest in his .208/.292/.344 batting line, regardless of how good his defense is. The same could be said of the currently injured Mike Sweeney, though he was hitting a tolerable .263/.327/.475 before his back flared up.
Jose Lopez is very much available, but Baker doesn't think either Brandon League or David Aardsma will be dealt. Both are under team control for the next two seasons, so the Mariners aren't feeling pressure to move them immediately.
The Lee trade basically represented the white flag, but the Mariners don't have much left to trade away beyond Lopez, some relievers, and possibly Branyan. More than anything, they need to start getting better production out of Chone Figgins (.235/.334/.277) and Bradley (.211/.295/.368) while Jason Vargas (3.09 ERA) and Doug Fister (also a 3.09 ERA) continue to establish themselves as viable starters behind Felix Hernandez.

Rangers Acquire Cliff Lee For Smoak, Prospects
Cliff Lee is joining his fourth team in 12 months and the Rangers are hoping he can lead them to the playoffs for the first time in 11 years. The Rangers pried Lee away from the Mariners and multiple suitors today in a blockbuster deal that makes the 50-35 Rangers clear favorites to win the AL West.
They obtained Lee, Mark Lowe (who is out for the season with back surgery) and cash considerations from the Mariners for Justin Smoak, Blake Beavan, Matthew Lawson and Josh Lueke.
Though the Rangers' ownership is uncertain, GM Jon Daniels was able to add Lee and his $9MM salary with some creative deal-making. The Mariners will cover about $2.5MM of the $4.2MM remaining on Lee's salary, according to ESPN.com's Buster Olney (via Twitter), presumably because the Rangers included an appealing group of prospects. But giving up Lee wasn't easy, even for top young talent.
"This is a bittersweet day for us," Mariners GM Jack Zduriencik said. "While we are excited about the group of young players we have acquired from the Rangers, it's never easy to trade a player like Cliff Lee, who has been outstanding here."
Justin Smoak has yet to stand out at the big league level, but has star potential. Baseball America ranked Smoak second among all Rangers prospects before the season, behind 2010 All-Star Neftali Feliz. The publication suggested Smoak, 23, has "a chance to be a switch-hitting slugger in the Mark Teixeira mold." So far, Smoak's big league performance has been less than Teixeira-esque. He has a .209/.316/.353 line with eight homers in half a season.
Beavan, 21, was the Rangers' first round pick in 2007 and is now pitching at AA. He has a 2.78 ERA with 5.6 K/9 and a Cliff Lee-like 1.0 BB/9. Baseball America ranked Beavan 17th among Rangers prospects before the season, explaining that he could become a back-of-the-rotation innings eater, even if his stuff doesn't improve.
Lawson, a 24-year-old second baseman is hitting .277/.371/.438 at AA, along with Lueke and Beavan. Lueke, 25, has a 3.86 ERA with 12.5 K/9 and 2.4 BB/9 as a reliever this year.
A lot of talent is heading to Seattle, but the Rangers will have the chance to reclaim some young players, even if Lee departs as a free agent after the season. Lee currently ranks as a Type A free agent, so the Rangers can obtain two top picks in the 2011 draft if they offer Lee arbitration and he turns it down to sign elsewhere.
Joel Sherman of the New York Post first reported that a deal was close and first reported that the Rangers had agreed to acquire Lee. Buster Olney, Jon Heyman, Ken Davidoff, Mark Feinsand, Bob Nightengale, Ken Rosenthal, Jon Paul Morosi, Ed Price, Evan Grant, T.R. Sullivan, Frankie Piliere and others added updates and details.
The Rangers outbid the many other clubs connected to Lee, including the Rays, Tigers, White Sox, Twins, Phillies, Mets, Cardinals, Dodgers and Reds. Oh yeah, and the Yankees.
So much for the Yankees' unwillingness to hand over prospects for three month rentals. Brian Cashman & Co. offered Jesus Montero, David Adams and another prospect, possibly Zach McAllister, for Lee and were 'on the brink' of acquiring him earlier today. The Yankees thought they had a deal for the left-hander, according to Rosenthal (Twitter link), but it wasn't the case. The Mariners re-opened discussions with the Rangers, learned that Smoak was available, and the sides reached a deal.

Reactions To The Cliff Lee Trade
Now that we know for sure that Cliff Lee is headed to the Rangers, the pundits are already chiming in about the big swap — both about what it means for Texas and Seattle, and about what it means for the teams that fell short in the Lee sweepstakes.
- Since the Rangers didn't have to give up any of their blue-chip pitching prospects, the trade is "a huge, huge 'win' for" Texas, tweets Evan P. Grant of the Dallas Morning News.
- Grant also tweets that he was told that one of those young pitchers, Martin Perez, "was deemed untouchable" by the team.
- Jim Bowden of Sirius XM Radio thinks "both teams win on this deal," though the Rangers are the "biggest winner" since it helps their chances in October. Bowden also compliments the Mariners for getting more talent back for Lee than they dealt to acquire him in the winter. (Twitter link).
- USA Today's Bob Nightengale writes that last night, the Rangers thought that Lee was going to the Yankees. (Twitter link) Nightengale also thinks this trade makes Texas GM Jon Daniels the executive of the year.
- The Phillies are taking some heat for not getting as much minor league talent for Lee when they dealt him over the winter. ESPN's Jayson Stark tweets that one scouting director rated Philadelphia's haul for Lee as "last by a long shot" compared to what Seattle and Cleveland both got for the pitcher within the last year.
- John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports that the Reds "made what they thought was a serious offer" for Lee today, though Fay thinks both "the Rangers and Yankees offered a better package than the Reds could have put together."
- Ed Price of Fanhouse.com comments that the Rays didn't want to give up any significant prospects for Lee (via Twitter), while the Mets simply didn't have the caliber of prospects that Seattle was looking for. Price notes, however, that Jeremy Guthrie could be on the Mets' radar screen.
- The Mets could use this Lee deal as a guideline, however, tweets ESPN's Buster Olney. The Mets could follow the Rangers' example and try to get a trading partner to add money into a deal, since Olney reports that New York won't be able to add to their payroll before the deadline.
- Rays manager Joe Maddon is unsurprisingly happy that Lee isn't in Yankee pinstripes, reports Marc Topkin of the St. Petersburg Times.
- Tigers general manager Dave Dombrowski says his team "had interest [in Lee], but we didn't come close to a deal," reports John Lowe of the Detroit Free Press.
- Alyson Footer of MLB.com tweets that the Lee trade may help Houston move Roy Oswalt, since the "more attractive pitcher is off the table & Roy is the next best option."

Cliff Lee Rumors: Thursday
The Twins aren't close to a deal for Cliff Lee, but the Rangers are working hard to acquire him and a number of other clubs are involved. The Mariners are seeking a monster return for Lee, according to Jayson Stark of ESPN.com and Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports. Click here to check out yesterday's Lee rumblings and check back throughout the day for the latest on the lefty:
- MLB.com's Mark Sheldon reports that talks between Seattle and the Reds have yet to "hit the serious stages." No formal proposals have been exchanged between the two teams.
- Lee appeared on ESPN 710's Brock and Salk earlier today, and said that he and his agent approached the Mariners about an extension before the season only to be told that the team wasn't "going to go down that road."
- The Mariners are interested in some of the game's top prospects and young players, sources tell Jon Heyman of SI.com. Their wish list includes catching prospects Jesus Montero (Yankees) and Wilson Ramos (Twins) plus Justin Smoak and Wade Davis. A competing team says the Twins are a "real" threat to acquire Lee, though we're not accustomed to seeing them give up lots of talent at the deadline.
- A rival executive told Heyman that the Rangers discussed Chris Davis and Jarrod Saltalamacchia in a possible Lee trade. As we heard earlier today, the Mariners prefer Smoak and would want more than Davis and Saltalamacchia.
- The Mariners asked the Yankees for at least three prospects, including Montero, according to Heyman.
- B.J. Upton's name has come up, but Heyman suggests the Rays haven't offered him to the Mariners.
- Larry Stone of the Seattle Times hears rumblings that the White Sox, who just lost Jake Peavy to the DL, are at least 'kicking tires' on Lee. That would not be a surprise given Kenny Williams' track record.
- One MLB GM told Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports that the Rangers are the favorites to acquire Lee. The Rangers don't want to include Justin Smoak in a trade and at least one rival executive believes they would be 'crazy' to do so. The Rangers' desire to hold onto Smoak is one of the biggest barriers remaining between the two teams. If the Rangers trade Smoak, they could call on Chris Davis, who has a .961 OPS in Triple A.
- Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports hears the Mets mentioned with Lee less and less frequently (Twitter link). The Mariners are looking to obtain a major league-ready power bat, but the Mets don't want to part with Ike Davis.
- Jack Curry of the YES Network says the Yankees are being thorough and will inquire on Lee, just as they would on any available player of his caliber (Twitter link). That doesn't mean the Yanks are willing to out-bid everyone else, however.
- The Rangers and Mariners continue to discuss a possible Lee trade, according to Richard Durrett of ESPNDallas.com. The Rangers have spoken to numerous teams to figure out what it will take to improve the club for the stretch run.
- In case there was any doubt remaining about the Mariners' asking price, John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer clears it up. An insider tells Fay that "it's going to take a ton," but Fay does not get the sense that a trade is about to happen.
- The Rangers have financial restrictions, but MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan reports that they have some money 'tucked away' for making moves. GM Jon Daniels is 'fully engaged' in the Lee trade talk.
- We know a lot of teams are interested in Lee, but how many? "Pretty much every team within five games of the playoffs," a source tells Ken Davidoff of Newsday (That's 17 teams). We've heard that the Mets may have trouble adding payroll, but GM Omar Minaya and his front office are operating as though they can add salary. That means Lee and Ted Lilly could be targets for the Mets.

Remember me
A West Point think tank responsible for training future U.S. Army officers has released an extensive report warning of a growing domestic threat from "far right" conservative groups it says are prone to violence.
An incredible story is being told to the press and sold in a new book by Morten Storm, a 37-year-old Dane who claims to have worked on a number of secret missions with intelligence groups from several Western nations.
Despite openly supporting self-styled Jihadist "revolutionaries" seeking an Islamic theocracy in Syria and Libya before that, the new socialist French government has also just launched a series of military attacks against Muslim rebels who seized control of northern Mali with help from other Western powers. The controversial operations, ironically, are being taken under the guise of fighting Islamic extremism. Meanwhile, Islamists in the region have vowed retaliation, saying the French attacks were killing civilians and promising to strike "at the heart of France."
The United States continues the constant pounding of the tribal region of North Waziristan in Pakistan. On January 10, AFP reports that six "militants" allegedly working for al-Qaeda were killed in a drone strike.
Another day in Pakistan brings another day of skies torn by screaming Hellfire missiles launched from U.S. drones. Early Sunday morning, a barrage of missiles obliterated villages in the tribal region of South Waziristan. Reports indicate that 10 "militants" were killed and five others were injured in the attack.
JBS CEO Art Thompson's weekly news video update for January 7 - 13, 2013.
A headline in Wired magazine reports: "Obama's New Year's Resolution: More Drone Strikes." Just a week into the new year and the president is well on his way to keeping his resolution.
With the advent of the new year, the United States is rapidly increasing the number of drone strikes in Yemen.
On Wednesday, January 2, 2013, President Barack Obama did what constitutionalists and civil libertarians knew he would do: He signed into law the renewal of his power to apprehend and detain Americans indefinitely on no more authority than his own suspicion of their complicity with enemies in the "War on Terror."
Various outlets are reporting information posted to Islamist websites placing a bounty of three kilograms (6.6 pounds) of gold on the head of U.S. Ambassador to Yemen Gerald Feierstein.

By Eliot Van Buskirk of Evolver.fm.
Maybe people donât always want to subscribe to all the music in the world. Maybe the superfans among us thirst for something more: a way to subscribe only to the bands that matter most to us.
Of course, weâd want our moneyâs worth: everything that band has ever recorded, interviews, merch deals, early ticket-buying opportunities, and even an artificially-intelligent radio station, personally curated by the artist (i.e. not some random label minion).
âUse this app as an open door to our music,â said Graham Nash in the announcement. âAnd, as usual, when one door closes-another one opens⦠enjoy exploring.â
Paying $4 per month or $40 for a year (it should probably be lifetime for that price) makes you part of âthe couch club,â which gets you âregular updates of dynamic and exclusive content, including unreleased videos, music and photos, and discounts on selected merchandise.â
James Raymond, co-founder and COO of app developer Contendis, stated, âWe look forward to providing CSN and other great artists with a platform to engage and connect with their fans in a profound new way.â
As such, we expect other apps to do this too. It is a good idea.
Notably, this app-happy trio released another iOS app this week: Crosby, Stills, & Nash (pictured right). It is free, and includes two $10 live sets for purchase. This is the app we reported on earlier that streams music all the way up to CD quality. Listening to it just now, we were amused to watch the bit rate increase, as the app noticed our fast Wi-Fi connection, maxing out at 716 Kbps.
Both apps are quite solid entries, although the true superfan will be dismayed to find that both showed up as âCSNâ on our iPad, which is confusing.
Apparently, CSN didnât wait for their former bandmate Neil Young (a.k.a. the âYâ in âCSNYâ) to release his Pono format, although CSN does have high-resolution version of its music on HDTracks.

Hi: 16° Lo:12°
By Tristan Harris Friday 07 February 2014 Updated: 07/02 01:47
MEMBERS of the Rotary Club of North Worcestershire will be at Bromsgrove's Morrisons next Saturday (February 15) collecting funds for the End Polio Now campaign.
Over the past 25 years, Rotary International has worked with other health agencies worldwide to almost eradicate polio, bringing the number of cases by 99 per cent.
There used to be 350,000 new cases of the disease across 125 polio endemic countries in Asia but, by the end of last year, there were just 1,000 in just three nations. Regular immunisation, which costs as little as 25p per vaccine, can protect a child against the crippling disease for life.
A spokesperon for the Rotary Club of North Worcestershire said: "This last one per cent must be wiped out to make sure no child falls prey to this paralysing and sometimes fatal illness.
"Regular immunisation activities in these countries, supported by Rotary members across the world, are having a positive impact.
"Polio knows no borders and carriers frequently moves from one country to another.
"The virus can therefore reappear in previously polio free countries."
Every penny collected in Bromsgrove next Saturday will go directly to those who need it.
The Rotary Club of North Worcestershire has 30 members who meet every Tuesday evening at Droitwich Golf Club.
Anyone wanting to find out more about the club or how to become a member should call Ralph Webster, Membership Secretary on 01527 877998 or Robert Moule, President on 01527 874712.
