Over the next two weeks, follow along on Parlando as we introduce you to each of our finalists.
Zoe Band, Mezzo-soprano
Mezzo-soprano Zoe Band's life revolves around music. "My hobby, joy, job, and passion is music. When I'm not listening to it, I'm working to make money to pay for lessons," she says. "When I have time to myself, I practice!"
Born and raised in Toronto, Zoe got her start singing in choir and playing classical guitar. Her guitar teacher's wife was a singing teacher and "from there it began."
Zoe studied music at the Peabody Conservatory, earning her bachelor and master of music in voice performance. Her roles with Peabody Opera included Hermia in A Midsummer Night's Dream, Miss Benson in Lakmé, Ferdinand in Ariel's Tempest, Betty Parris in The Crucible, Anna in The Trio and Zinnie in Dora. She has also appeared as Lucretia in The Rape of Lucretia (HexaCollective); Hansel in Hansel and Gretel (Toronto Summer Opera and Little Patuxtent Opera); and Patricia Hutton in Camelot Requiem (The Figaro Project).
One day, she hopes to add Cherubino in The Marriage of Figaro to her repertoire, and she'd especially love to sing the title role Handel's Ariodante. "What a role!"
If she wasn't pursuing an opera career, you might find Zoe working in psychology or using her dramatic talents in other ways. "I love entertaining. If I couldn't sing, I would hope to act."
So what is it about opera that Zoe finds so compelling?
"For me, opera is a bridge between the real and romanticized world. It can be challenging and intellectual, and yet calming and spiritual, expressing the full range of human emotions," she says. "When I'm performing, I feel a freedom to fully express who I am."
The Ensemble Studio Competition is Tuesday, November 25, 2014. Tickets to the Ensemble Studio Competition and Centre Stage cocktail celebration are $100. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit COCCentrestage.ca. You can buy tickets here,

by Michael Lewandowski
For over 30 years, students from all across Ontario have been inspired and delighted by the magic of live opera performance. The operas developed for the Glencore Ensemble Studio School Tour are adapted or created specifically for young audiences, and the artists perform in full costume with sets, props and piano accompaniment. The operas are performed in English and an informal question-and-answer period with the cast immediately follows each performance.
We asked COC Stage Manager Michael Lewandowski to share a day in the life on the road with the Ensemble Studio School Tour, as they perform The Scorpions' Sting: An Egyptian Myth. Read on for his account of an average day on tour!
The Scorpions' Sting: An Egyptian Myth will also be presented at the Royal Ontario Museum on November 29th at 11am, free with museum admission! Find out more about the event here.

First day of The Scorpions' Sting rehearsal. As a Stage Manager I'm responsible for keeping everyone informed of the schedule and keeping track of everything that happens in rehearsal. I'm the eyes and ears for everyone who may not be in the room. My job is to keep all the departments informed of any changes or needs the production may have. At the end of each day I send out rehearsal notes, that each department receives (Music, Wardrobe, Props, Wigs etc). On our first day, our director Joel Ivany discussed his vision for this production, and we ended the day by having a full sing-through of the opera with our Musical Director Jennifer Szeto.
I am always the first person to arrive at work on tour. I start my day by picking up props and costume pieces that may have been damaged the day before, and our lovely COC staff fixed for us. I pack everything in our van, and do a quick inspection of the vehicle. I have to make sure everyone is safe and the van is ready for a full day of travel. The COC school tour has been lucky to have Glencore as our sponsor on the tour for a number of years. Every morning we put up our fancy Glencore sponsorship decals on the van, which also direct the public to our website, where they can follow the tour. Our Musical Director Jennifer Szeto was happy to help with this task today.
The van has to fit everything we may need on tour. This not only includes our performers, but also our full set, props, costumes, keyboard, first aid kit and anything else we may need on the road.
Our first stop, School Number #1. We always arrive an hour before the start of the opera. We start by checking in with the main office, and find the best location for us to unload the van.
Everyone in the cast is responsible for helping with the set-up. This includes putting the full set together, unpacking costumes, and setting props needed for the show. As you can see above, Erica, Karine, Clarence & JP are busy at work.
Clarence helps put up the finishing touches. Once the set is complete, the cast changes into costume and warms up.
The completed set.
As a group we have to adapt to wherever we perform, as each school is different. Our change room is often the gym storage room. Being the Stage Manager on tour is a lot like being a mom sometimes, "no time to play, time to get into costume."
My view during the show. I'm well-hidden behind the set, and I'm responsible for receiving and handing off props, helping with quick costume changes, as well as operating the puppets in the show.
After the performance we do a 10-minute question-and-answer period with the kids. After that we load everything up into the van and drive over to School #2, where we repeat it all over again. On a typical day we do two shows within the Greater Toronto Area, however we sometimes travel overnight.
On this particular day we drove to Kingston in order to do performances in Gananoque and Napanee the next day. This sometimes makes for a long day, as we started at 8:30 a.m., did two shows in Toronto, then drove for three hours to get to Kingston. The cast can rest as soon as we arrive at the hotel, however my day continues for a few more hours. I have to do laundry from that day, as well as fill out a detailed show report, which gets sent back to COC, so everyone can keep up with what is happening on tour. I also have to check any e-mails from schools we may be visiting the next day, to answer any questions they may have.
Once all the work is done, we all enjoy a well-deserved evening off. We spend a lot of time together on the road, and we become like a travelling circus. It helps to have a great group of people that enjoy what they do; we have a lot of fun together. Not too many late nights for us, as tomorrow we do it all over again, and drive back to Toronto after two shows.

Nathan Keoughan, Bass-baritone
Nathan Keoughan's hoping his past experience auditioning for the Ensemble Studio will hold him in good stead when he returns for this year's competition.
His credits include Luka in The Bear, Angelotti in Tosca and Sarastro in Die Zauberflöte (Highlands Opera Studio/HOS); Pankrol in Milk Bar (Mount Allison Opera Studio); Colline in La Bohème (Cowtown Opera and HOS); the Mayor in Dr. Miracle and the Lackey in Ariadne auf Naxos (NEC); Roy Gardner in Anne & Gilbert (Harbourfront Theatre); and Raimondo in Lucia di Lammermoor (Opera by Request). You'll also be able to see him this season as Dr. Dulcamara in Elixir of Love with Cowtown Opera.
Here's what you might remember about Nathan from last year's competition:
(To view last year's blog post, click here.)
Born and raised in Charlottetown, P.E.I., Nathan completed his bachelor of music at the University of Prince Edward Island and still finds it hard to pry himself away. But he's managed to do so long enough to attend the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, where he completed a master's degree in Vocal Performance in 2012.
Before moving to Boston, Nathan says that his opera career "was not the original plan." An accomplished theatre actor, Nathan portrayed Roy Gardner in Anne & Gilbert for three consecutive summers, and also played Edwin Simpson in Nine Lives, a musical about the life of L.M. Montgomery, for the Charlottetown Festival.
It was theatre that gave him a taste for performance, but opera that captured his imagination. "As my training continued at UPEI through the years, my amazing teachers, Stephen and Sung Ha Shin Bouey, introduced me into the world of opera, and with the help of YouTube I was soon a huge fanatic," Nathan says. "What really draws me to opera is the culmination of such a focused singing technique while having the most dramatic of intentions and, on top of that, keeping up with the rich orchestral music underneath you."
So how did Nathan feel when he was asked to return for the Ensemble Studio Competition?
"Every year I've come back I feel the pressure has increased," Nathan says. "I know if I haven't improved upon what they heard last year there would be no hope of me getting into the finals. So when I got the phone call, I was surprised they'd accept me for my third year but also relieved that I haven't gotten any worse!"
One advantage of being the only returning competitor this year is that having performed with the COC Orchestra before on the mainstage gives him a chance to shake off his nerves. "This year I hope to spend less time being petrified and more time enjoying the fact that I get to perform in such an incredible house with such wonderful musicians in the pit."
Whatever the outcome of this year's competition, Nathan is going to enjoy every moment. "Our time at the COC goes by so fast, especially our time on stage. This year I look forward to taking it all in and enjoying the process as well as the performances. It's not an everyday thing that I get to work and perform with such high calibre musicians, conductors, coaches and teachers. I don't want to take any of it for granted. Singing with an orchestra like this feels as though you are floating on a cloud. It's quite a rush."
You can follow Nathan on Twitter to learn more about him.

ORONO, Maine (AP) — A University of Maine study says the medical costs of obesity for children and adolescents in the state could reach $1.2 billion over the next 20 years.
UMaine economics Professor Todd Gabe's study also suggests that the incidence of obesity is likely to increase from 7.8 percent of Maine's youths to nearly 26 percent as they grow into adults.
Gabe says his study brings the issue of a nationwide obesity epidemic closer to home.
The study uses statistics from the national Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and data on more than 2,000 school-aged children in Maine compiled by physical education teachers in 18 schools across the state.
Last year, the medical costs of obesity for all age groups in Maine were nearly $453 million.

Merck Serono bags MS licence option
06.02.2013 - Merck Serono has secured an exclusive licence option for Opexa Therapeutics' autologous T cell-based Multiple Sclerosis therapy imilecleucel-T.
Opexa's Tcelna (imilecleucel-T) therapy currently is tested in a Phase IIb study on patients with Secondary Progressive MS (SPMS), which is less common than relapsing forms of MS that are targeted by Merck's blockbuster Rebif® (interferon beta-1a) In case of market entry and successful commercialisation, the US firm could gain US$225m in total from the option and license agreement.
Under the terms of the contract, Opexa will receive an upfront payment of $5 million for granting an option to Merck Serono for the exclusive license of the Tcelna (imilecleucel-T) programme as a treatment of MS. The option may be exercised prior to, or upon completion of, Opexa's proof-of-concept trial. If Merck Serono opts for the programme, Opexa is eligible for $25m or $15m upfront depending on fulfilment of certain undisclosed conditions. The Germans, in return, would receive worldwide development and commercial rights in MS, excluding Japan. When exercising the option, Merck Serono would have to pay all clinical development, as well as the cost for regulatory authorisation and marketing of the MS programme. Milestone payments to Opexa could sum up to $195m plus a tiered royalty rate from the high single digits to the mid-teens based on net sales.
Under the agreement, Opexa will have an option right to co-fund development, under which the company would participate in economic support for future clinical development of the programme in exchange for additional royalty consideration. In addition to retaining all rights outside of MS as well as retaining the ability to commercialise imilecleucel-T in Japan, Opexa also retains certain manufacturing rights related to the programme.
Tcelna (imilecleucel-T) is an autologous T cell therapy. After collection of peripheral blood mononuclear cells, myelin-reactive T-cells (MRTCs) raised against selected peptides from myelin basic protein (MBP), myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) and proteolipid protein (PLP) are expanded, irradiated and given back to the patient subcutaneously to trigger a therapeutic immune response.

I have brought this show up before as one of my personal favorite Phish moments - seeing the lights indoors during 2001. Blah blah, Hampton, Mothership... I would have sworn the old Knick was about to take off.
This was the only show of the run that I caught, but I think people usually think of the 12/2/03 show (the "official" 20th anniversary show) as being the gem of the run. I implore you to reconsider, and listen to the beginning of set II... The Tweezer -> 2001 > YEM is particularly rich for 2.0; even on just a four night run, this trifecta rings familiar of late Summer tour versions when the guys are all warmed up. After a surprisingly solid first set, we all knew that we were in for a treat when they opened with Tweezer.
Maybe it's unfair to say this show hasn't gotten it's due, but I think that's because the most notable part of it was Jeff Holdsworth's surprise appearance. The question people would ask afterwards was "what was that like?" The answer - well, really cool and historically significant, but his playing / singing was kind of meh. STILL!! What a special moment for everyone involved.
So, I submit for your consideration that this show has had an undue "meh" vibe attached to it, and that it's the true CLASSIC Phish show of the 20th anniversary run. Re-listening 9 years later, it has aged incredibly well.

Heading into the second run of the men's freeski halfpipe finals Friday morning, Canada's Mike Riddle was solidly ahead of the pack by more than 20 points with a 90.2.
Putting solid back-to-back runs together to take the U.S. Grand Prix at Copper Mountain amidst heavy snow at the start of the finals and strong winds toward the end, Riddle is looking to the season ahead hoping he can maintain consistency on the road to the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi, Russia, where freeski halfpipe will make its debut.
"(Today is) definitely a confidence booster and it helps me on my way (to the Olympics), but I'm definitely trying to stay in the present and not get ahead of myself," Riddle said.
He wasn't entirely safe with his 91.2 score, though, as U.S. Freeski Team rookie Aaron Blunck from Crested Butte upped his ante to an 87.0 (first run score was 64.0).
As Blunck captured the attention of the crowd gathered at the top of the pipe, the 16-year-old surprising star of freeskiing born in Englewood and part of Ski and Snowboard Club Vail put together a run that bested the best, including America's Simon Dumont (70.0) and Gus Kenworthy (62.0), France's Kevin Rolland (68.8) and Canada's Matt Margetts (48.8).
"This feeling is incredible. This is the first big pro podium I've ever had. I'm on Cloud 9 right now. I can not believe it. I'm so stoked," Blunck said, adding that he hopes it's a good sign for the rest of the year. "Hopefully, this will shape up really well and I can get a spot for X Games. It's a huge confidence booster. I'm stoked."
Coming in behind Riddle and Blunck for third place in Friday's freeski action was America's David Wise, the 22-year-old Lake Tahoe native threw down a solid run coming off knee surgery eight months ago to be back in action. And not just back, but back on top, as Wise also landed the Visa $1,000 prize for big air for his right side 900 tail grab that kicked off his second run.
Wise wowed the crowd by following up his initial 900 with a double cork 1260 mute grab, right side 720, switch 720, and boosted an alley-oop flat spin 540 tail grab to finish things off.
"I was feeling a little stressed going into my second run, so I had to take a little while to calm down and be like this just another run through the pipe. I went as fast as I could and sent it and tried to land high on all my tricks so I could carry my speed as good as I could. It worked out," Wise said.
On the women's side, America again sent two freeskiers to the podium, with Maddie Bowman (South Lake Tahoe, Calif.) landing first place with an 84.6 and Brita Sigourney (Carmel, Calif.) finishing third with a 79.0. Bowman's winning run started off technical with a huge 900 into a 540, then she tamed her second 900 to ski into an alley-oop 720 and finished the run off with a switch 540.
"The second one I really wanted because I didn't land my first run," Bowman said, adding that mixing technical tricks into the run is "exciting. The scary tricks make it more fun. I'm pretty stoked I did it."
Canada's Rosalind Groenewoud stomped her first run to start the second round in first place with a 77.4, but, far from safe, she headed into the swirling wind and snowy pipe to up the score to 79.2
"It felt alright. I've definitely skied better in my life, but I'm happy with how I did for the conditions. On my second run, there was some pretty serious wind and on my first run, there was a lot of snow. That's the way it goes, being outside, a Mother Nature sport, so I'm just happy to pull off what I did," Groenewoud said. "In previous years, I might have been really scared going into it, but this time, I knew I could pull off my tricks in the wind because I did so much training" in New Zealand in high winds.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi women's basketball team will open the 2011-12 season at home Saturday, Nov. 12 against Big 12 opponent Missouri, in what looks to be an improved year for the team. The Islanders will look to make strides in the Southland Conference after falling back in the conference standings while being hindered with injuries a year ago. The 2011-12 team features seven newcomers, three freshmen and four junior college transfers under the direction of head coach Robert Robinson.
"One thing that I like especially with the new kids and the returners that we have, is we have some depth this year that we haven't had in the past," Robinson said. "It makes practice each and every day competitive, which is exactly what you want. There will be people fighting for starting positions each and every day, which is always a positive thing."
The Islanders return seven players, including top junior guard Jessica Jammer. Last season, Jammer averaged 8.1 points and collected 117 rebounds while starting 23 out of the 29 games. Texas A&M – Corpus Christi will also look to senior Myeisha Myles, who was sidelined last season with an injury. As a junior, Myles played in 34 of the 35 games and led the team in scoring three times during the season.
Along with Jammer and Myles, the Islanders return guards Ashley Darley, Imani Dunn and Taryn Gregory, along with forwards Brandi Huff and Zoey Vega-Vega.
"Jessica Jammer had an up and coming season last year," Robinson said. "I think this could be a breakout season for her, and we will be able to play her at a set position, unlike last year, where she was having to play inside and outside for us. Limiting her to one key position will help her tremendously confidence wise and put her in a position to be effective."
Texas A&M – Corpus Christi will look to seven newcomers, including Verne'qua Taylor, who will lead the team on the offensive end at the point guard position. Taylor is a junior college transfer from Blinn Junior College. The 5-6 Wharton, Texas, native averaged 9.5 points and 6.1 assists per game while at Blinn.
"Overall, I really like all the new kids," Robinson said. "Each of them has their own individual talent and they bring a lot to the table at each spot. I think one of the keys for us heading into this year is the direction of our point guard. I'm very pleased with Verne'qua. She is going to have a really good year for us. We have already improved this year, not even having played a game, with her just being our point guard."
Sophomore Marquesha Anderson-Sparks, who played with Taylor at Blinn, will also provide the Islanders a spark at the shooting guard position, along with junior college transfer Alisa Roberts. Freshmen Sara Alva, Trish Amboree, and Mariah Jordan, along with junior college transfer Damequia Montgomery will all provide depth to the Islanders roster.
"Marquesha Anderson-Sparks and Alisa Roberts can shoot the ball, which is another big need that we had coming into this season," Robinson said. "They both have been shooting the ball very well and will be expected to have a good season for us. We are going to count on them heavily."
The Islanders will play a tough schedule this season, including taking on Missouri, Colorado and Indiana. They will also participate in the Houston Baptist and Rice Tournaments. The Islanders host 13 games, including four which will be played at the Dugan Wellness Center.
"We will be tested right off the bat," Robinson said. "We have Missouri coming here in the opening game of the season and Colorado is coming in shortly after that. Then we are at Arkansas State, so that's three key battles for us right away.
"We are at Indiana, which is another tough opponent, as well as SMU. Those two opponents are toward the end of our preseason schedule. We will approach those games and use them as preparation heading into conference play."
The Islanders will kick-off their season Saturday, Nov. 12, at 7 p.m. against Missouri in the Dugan Wellness Center.

WASHINGTON (January 21, 2012)—U.S. House Speaker John Boehner said Friday he's still open to talks with President Barack Obama on avoiding the double economic hit of automatic tax hikes and spending cuts, but said he needs Mr. Obama to compromise more.
Boehner spoke to reporters Friday morning, hours after his rank-and-file Republicans handed him a bitter defeat.
Boehner was forced to pull his bill to raise taxes on millionaires because he didn't have the votes for passage.
He said he didn't know how the so-called "fiscal cliff" would be avoided.
"How we get there, God only knows,' he said.
Boehner expressed no concern about his standing as speaker.

Roger Federer wins Paris Masters for 1st time (San Francisco Chronicle)
Roger Federer's tough season is ending on a high note. Federer beat Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-1, 7-6 (3) on Sunday for the 69th title of his career and first at the Paris Masters. "I'm just ecstatic to have played so well this week," said Federer, who hadn't previously reached the Paris final. "I have had many attempts to win Paris, and for some reason, I wasn't able to. It's a special victory. I have had some really tough losses this year, but I kept believing the year wasn't over," Federer said. "I'm not playing to prove anything to anybody. I play for myself, I play for Switzerland (and) just to enjoy myself."
Roger Federer takes momentum to London (The Australian)
Roger Federer has the momentum and renewed confidence as he sets his sights on a record-breaking sixth World Tour Finals title. He may be set to end the year without a grand slam title for the first time since 2002 but Federer will take a 12-match winning streak into his title defence at the eight-man season finale in London from November 20. World No.4 Federer brushed aside home favourite Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-1 7-6 (7-3) in the Paris Masters final overnight to remain unbeaten since his gut-wrenching semi-final loss to Novak Djokovic at the US Open where he squandered a match point. The 16-times grand slam champion was excited by his resurgence after claiming the 69th title of his career.
Paris Masters Triumph Is a First and a Boost (New York Times)
A two-set lead was not enough for Roger Federer to shake free of Jo-Wilfried Tsonga at Wimbledon this year. But a two-set lead is all that is required for victory at this late stage of the tennis season, and so Federer finally got to hold up a trophy on the other side of Paris. It took him until 2009 to win the French Open at Roland Garros Stadium; it took him until Sunday afternoon to win the Paris indoor event, and though there were no tears and not much drama in this sometimes lopsided final, it was still a big moment for Federer in a year that has been long on fine play but disquietingly short on big titles.
Roger Federer beats Jo-Wilfried Tsonga to win his first Paris Masters (The Guardian)
Roger Federer beat Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-1, 7-6 on Sunday to win the Paris Masters for the first time and clinch the 69th title of his career. The winner of 16 majors had never reached the final of this event but gave the sixth-seeded Frenchman little chance after saving two break points in his opening service game. "I've been waiting for this for a long time," Federer said. "I'm really happy to have finally made it." Federer's 18th Masters title puts him one ahead of Andre Agassi and one behind the all-time leader, Rafael Nadal. The 30-year-old from Switzerland is on a 12-match unbeaten run after winning the Swiss Indoors in Basel last week.
Resurgent Federer wins maiden Paris Masters title (Reuters India)
Swiss third seed Federer, who moved to one shy of Rafa Nadal's record of 19 Masters titles with a stunning display of sheer brilliance, became only the second player with titles in Roland Garros and Bercy -- the two men's Paris tournaments. "I'm very happy with my performance today," Federer, who captured his 69th career title from 99 finals, said at the courtside. "I'm amazed by how well I play. I don't think Jo played a bad match. It's good to complete the tournament so solidly."
Best wishes,
Congratulato the 69th title.
I think Roger can win 5 grandslam more, the problem is that he want it or not.
Best Regards!
And, well, then there was the tennis display we say yesterday!! Still got it, Champ!! But then we all knew that!
"I'm not playing to prove anything to anybody. I play for myself, I play for Switzerland (and) just to enjoy myself." This sentence says it all.
All of these critics should remember that this is your career, your life. Who does not like ... well, that's their problem.
Relax and see you in London.

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents
|<< Irving's concessions
|< The issue as to Irving's ...
|Finding as to Irving's mo... >
Extraneous circumstances: Irving's denials of the Holocaust, his racism, anti-semitism and association with right-wing extremists
13.160 I pointed out in paragraph 13.139 above that there may be circumstances extraneous to Irving's practice of his profession as an historian from which it may be the legitimate to draw inferences as to whether his misrepresentation of the historical evidence has been deliberate. If the evidence supports the view that Irving is a dispassionate objective student and chronicler of the Nazi era, that would militate powerfully against the conclusion that he is working to agenda of his own. Conversely, if the extraneous evidence indicates that Irving holds views which are pro-Nazi and anti-semitic and that he is an active protagonist and supporter of extreme right-wing policies, that would support the inference that he perverts the historical evidence so as to make it conform with his ideological beliefs.
13.161 I have already set out in section VIII above my conclusion that Irving displays all the characteristics of a Holocaust denier. He repeatedly makes assertions about the Holocaust which are offensive to Jews in their terms and unsupported by or contrary to the historical record. I have also given at section IX above the reasons for my findings that Irving is an anti-semite and a racist. As I have found in section X above, Irving associates regularly with extremist and neo-Nazi organisations and individuals. The conclusion which I draw from the evidence is that Irving is sympathetic towards and on occasion promotes the views held by those individuals and organisations.
13.162 It is not difficult to discern a pattern to the activities and attitudes to which I have alluded in the preceding paragraph. Over the past fifteen years or so, Irving appears to have become more active politically than was previously the case. He speaks regularly at political or quasi-political meetings in Germany, the United States, Canada and the New World. The content of his speeches and interviews often displays a distinctly pro-Nazi and anti-Jewish bias. He makes surprising and often unfounded assertions about the Nazi regime which tend to exonerate the Nazis for the appalling atrocities which they inflicted on the Jews. He is content to mix with neo-fascists and appears to share many of their racist and anti-semitic prejudices. The picture of Irving which emerges from the evidence of his extra-curricular activities reveals him to be a right-wing pro-Nazi polemicist. In my view the Defendants have established that Irving has a political agenda. It is one which, it is legitimate to infer, disposes him, where he deems it necessary, to manipulate the historical record in order to make it conform with his political beliefs.

FTC Says Kid Apps Industry Needs 'To Do a Better Job'
The Federal Trade Commission said Monday that most of the mobile apps aimed at kids collect and transmit data about the device on which they're used and don't disclose that practice to parents, in a report that criticized the privacy practices of the fast-growing industry.
Nearly 60% of 400 popular kids' apps made for phones and tablets running Google and Apple mobile software transmitted information about the device to the app's developer or, more commonly, a third party such as an advertising network, FTC tests found. Meanwhile, just 20% of the apps reviewed disclosed any information about their data collection, the commission said.
The FTC report is likely to raise the stakes in the growing debate over what governments and app-store operators like Google and Apple need to do to protect the privacy of users of mobile apps. The debate is likely to grow particularly fierce when it comes to kids' apps, in part because the FTC is close to changing how it implements a decade-old law that's supposed to protect kids' privacy online.
Some app developers and app-store providers have long said they're working to make their offerings more child-friendly as the use of mobile devices takes off among kids. But Monday's report by the FTC, which is responsible for monitoring business practices in the U.S., said mobile app makers and the operators of app stores have to do more.
"We haven't seen any progress when it comes to making sure parents have the information they need to make informed choices about apps for their kids," FTC Chairman Jon Leibowitz said. "All of the companies in the mobile app space, especially the gatekeepers of the app stores, need to do a better job."
The FTC report also criticized the lack of disclosure about in-app advertising and in-app purchasing, issues highlighted in Wall Street Journal stories earlier this year.
Meanwhile the broader online privacy debate rages on as well: Read Saturday's story by Jennifer Valentino-Devries and Jeremy Singer-Vine illuminating how successful companies are becoming at tying people's online browsing to their real-world identities.

'Downton Abbey,' Season 3, Episode 6: TV Recap
Turn in your prison blues for some cricket whites. This week we get two hours of Downton as Mr. Bates returns home and a game brings people together above and below stairs.
Bates is released from prison and comes home to take back his job as Robert's valet, which means Thomas is going to have to find new employment.
O'Brien is in Thomas's ear, telling him that Jimmy has a crush on him. Thomas debates for a while, but then goes into Jimmy's room while he's sleeping. He leans down to kiss him just as Alfred walks into the room. Jimmy freaks out and Carson sends everyone back to bed.
Alfred, again with O'Brien's encouragement, reports what he saw to Carson. Carson now has to confront what everyone's known since he started: Thomas is gay. Unfortunately in 1920 it is still a crime. Carson gives Thomas his marching papers and promises he'll keep Jimmy from
pressing charges.
O'Brien tells Jimmy everyone will think he's gay as well if he doesn't fight back. Jimmy goes to Carson and demands that he give Thomas a bad reference or he will report what happened to the police. Carson doesn't know what to do.
Bates knows O'Brien is behind it and he begs Thomas to give him something on the evil maid. Later Bates tells O'Brien she will set all the footmen right and threatens her with one phrase, "Her Ladyship's soap." While Bates and Anna don't know what it means, O'Brien's face tells us she is remembering when she left the soap out for pregnant Cora to slip on back in season one, causing her to lose the baby.
Bates goes to Robert who, while very intolerant of change, is actually pretty cool with the gays. He sends off the police when Alfred reports the incident, sets Thomas up as second-in-command to Carson and promotes Jimmy to first footman, all to keep the peace.
Meanwhile, Matthew's plans to save Downton financially don't go over well with the old guard. In fact, the estate manager up and quits over the insult. The Dowager Countess sees the opportunity immediately: Make Branson the estate manager. He agrees to the job after a disastrous visit from his brother. He even plans to stay in the main house with baby Sybil after her Catholic christening. Looks like Hottie O'Chauffer will be hanging around for a while longer.
Matthew visits a doctor in London to find out if he's the reason he and Mary haven't gotten pregnant. As he leaves he runs into Mary. Turns out, she has been secretly visiting the doctor as well. She needed minor surgery, but now the doctor says she will be able to have children.
Edith goes to London to meet her editor. The two hit it off and he's quite flirty. Edith does some research, though, and finds out he's married. She confronts him. He explains that while he is technically married, his wife is a "lunatic" in an asylum. Edith feels sorry for him. Uh-oh, Edith, remember what happened to Jane Eyre.
The Dowager Countess puts out a listing for Ethel, former prostitute and current cook, to find her a new position. Isobel is resistant at first but when she sees how excited Ethel is to find an opening near her son and his grandparents, she decides it is for the best. Ethel plans to tell her son she's his former nanny. Nothing will ever go wrong with that plan.
In storylines that are just set up for next season, the Dowager Countess is asked to look after an 18-year-old relation, Rose. Rose goes to London with Edith and Matthew. She sneaks out to a jazz club, wearing a fantastically scandalous flapper dress while on the arm of a married man. Matthew, Edith and Rosamond go to rescue her. Matthew warns Rose about the perils of married men who promise to divorce their wives. The Dowager Countess finds out of her misdeeds and sends her away to Scotland.
What did you think of the episode? Will Rose ever replace Sybil in your heart? What's next for Branson? Will O'Brien ever get her just deserts? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

The Anderson County Sheriff's Department, in cooperation with Allies for Substance Abuse Prevention of Anderson County (ASAP), conducted compliance checks on Feb. 13 of local businesses that sell beer.
Investigators with the Sheriff's Special Operations Unit and representatives with ASAP visited 19 businesses and attempted to purchase beer. Of those 19, four sold beer to the underage person, a Sheriff's Department news release said, adding three of the four businesses did not check the customer's identification and one checked, but sold the beer anyway.
The following businesses sold beer to the underage person:
• Archer's Food Center, West Norris Road, Norris;
• La Sierra Mexican Restaurant, Andersonville Highway, Andersonville;
• Marathon, North Main Street, Lake City;
• Riverview Grill, Oak Ridge Highway, Clinton.
The release said three of the four clerks who sold beer to the underage purchasers were cited to General Sessions Court. Because one clerk was a juvenile, the district attorney's office will be consulted before charges are filed, the release said.
The beer permit holders will also have to appear before the respective beer boards for Anderson County, Lake City and Norris.
Sheriff Paul White said in the release, "Businesses that checked for identification and did not sell beer are to be commended and recognized for their efforts."
Those businesses include:
• Exxon, North Main Street, Lake City;
• Fast Track/Marathon, Lake City Highway, Lake City;
• Fast Lap/Town Talk, Lake City Highway, Clinton;
• Food City, East Tri-County Boulevard, Oliver Springs;
• Lee's Food Mart/Phillips 66, East Tri-County Boulevard, Oliver Springs;
• M&B/BP Market, Norris Freeway, Lake City;
• Mack's Discount/Marathon, Oak Ridge Highway, Clinton;
• Norwood Marathon, East Tri-County Boulevard, Oliver Springs;
• Pilot, North Main Street, Lake City;
• Raceway. East Tri-County Boulevard, Oliver Springs;
• Rite Aid, East Tri-County Boulevard, Oliver Springs;
• Sawyer Boys Spirits, Andersonville Highway, Andersonville;
• Shell, North Main Street, Lake City;
• Tobacco Depot, Andersonville Highway, Andersonville;
• Volunteer Express, Lake City Highway, Lake City.

Thirty seconds of commercial time during Super Bowl XLVII is selling for $3.8 million, and each player on the winning team stands to earn an additional $88,000, with the runners-up pocketing $44,000.
But there's also money to be made by local businesses.
More than 179 million Americans are expected to watch Sunday's NFL championship game between the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers, according to the National Retail Federation. More than 39 million plan to host a Super Bowl party, while 10 million-plus intend to watch it at a restaurant or bar. Between food, decorations and other items, the federation anticipates more than $12 billion being spent on the big game.

EVAN BEVINS The Marietta Times
Blacksmith Bar and Grill bartender Marcie Fouss, right, shows customers Shawn Haynes, left, and Dave Jurgensen a beer bucket Tuesday like the ones that will be available to customers watching the Super Bowl at the Marietta restaurant.
Williamstown resident Lori Williamson, 52, plans to have a special menu and special gathering on game day.
"We're going to get together with our children and their spouses and watch it as a family," she said, noting her son has been at school in Florida and unable to watch the game with the rest of the family in recent years. "We're all sports fans and we like the special event-ness of the Super Bowl, and we just enjoy being together."
Some Super Bowl soirees will receive a menu assist from establishments like Blacksmith Tavern & Grill in the Marietta Comfort Inn.

Souper Bowl
Churches and other organizations around the country turn Super Bowl Sunday into the "Souper Bowl of Caring," an opportunity to collect donations for local food pantries. Among the area churches participating Sunday are:
Tunnel and Warren Chapel United Methodist churches are encouraging people to bring canned soup for the Western Washington County Food Pantry to worship at 9 and 11 a.m. (Tunnel) and 10:30 a.m. (Warren Chapel) Sunday.
First Presbyterian Church of Marietta is asking people to make donations to the effort Sunday. They're also turning their regular "Sip and Chat" event into a "Soup and Chat," with proceeds going to the Marietta Community Food Pantry.
St. Luke's Lutheran Church in Marietta is collecting cans of food and other non-perishable items for donation to local food pantries Sunday.
Source: Times research.
"We're getting bulk orders for food to go," said general manager Kevin Black.
Since neither team has a strong local following, Black doesn't expect the kind of crowd in the restaurant that he would for a Super Bowl featuring the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cincinnati Bengals or Cleveland Browns, or an Ohio State Buckeyes game on the Big 10 Network, which many people still don't get at home. Still, he anticipates plenty of business.
"We could actually probably double what we do on a Sunday," Black said.
One item the restaurant will feature on Sunday is an East-versus-West wings platter based on the Super Bowl teams' geographic separation. A ginger Thai sauce will represent San Francisco and the West Coast, while a more traditional buffalo sauce is designated for Baltimore and the East.
And Black said fears of a wing shortage aired in recent media reports won't have any impact on Blacksmith's menu Sunday - although how many people order and eat could.
Super Bowl Sunday is one of the biggest days of the year for pizza sales, something the Original Pizza Place has witnessed over the years with increased pickups at its location in the Grand Central Mall in Vienna, W.Va. With a restaurant that opened last year on Second Street in Marietta, the company is preparing for a new aspect - deliveries.
"We're going to be fully staffed. We have extra delivery guys just to ensure timely delivery," said Kasandra Ruscitto, marketing manager for the Original Pizza Place.
The business will have multiple specials specifically for Super Bowl Sunday, in addition to its regular deals.
Some residents will opt to put together their own spreads, which is why Matt Spindler, manager of Sponey's IGA in Beverly, expects to see plenty of football-minded shoppers Saturday and Sunday.
"It definitely makes for a busy weekend," he said.
Party trays and pizzas tend to be popular game-day choices, Spindler said. Beer sales might rise a bit if a team with a local following was in the game - "Parties might be a little rowdier," Spindler suggested - but he still anticipates brisk business overall.
"You can certainly tell by what the customers are wearing how into it they are," he said. "But everybody still watches the Super Bowl."
And some folks want to watch it on a bigger, sharper screen.
"You'll see a splurge normally right before the Super Bowl or any other big event like that," said Jim Schaad, owner of Shadix TV Sales & Service in Marietta.
The closer it gets to the day of the game, the less common it is for somebody to pull the trigger on a TV upgrade. Schaad said the business did see an uptick in sales toward the first part of the month.
The National Retail Federation survey indicated 7.1 percent of households planning to watch the Super Bowl, about 7.5 million, would buy a new television, up from 5.1 million last year.
Despite all that interest in the game, some folks aren't planning to watch much, if any, of it.
Lowell resident Scott Steinel, 48, will be in Columbus for a rifle competition his son is participating in Sunday. He doesn't expect to be home until after halftime and isn't too concerned about it.
"Anymore these days, (players) get paid so darn much ... it really doesn't do much for me," he said.
"Now, Final Four, we'll talk," Steinel added with a laugh.

United Way of McPherson County is working to build a stronger community by addressing issues related to health, education and income. We believe conversations and intensive listening are the best ways to understand the real problems and move beyond short-term solutions. Community change can be accomplished through broad participation and collaboration. We encourage McPherson County residents to be involved with their community through giving, advocating and volunteering. By working together we can make a larger impact on the issues at hand.
With the start of school our household has been busy this fall. Both children are involved in school sports and their homework load has increased. We continue to participate in church and volunteer activities. And somehow we find time to tend to our routine work duties!
Despite the complex schedules, we have worked hard to honor our family dinner time. This is a time when we sit around the dining room table consuming a well-balanced meal and catching up on the day's activities for all family members. Sometimes the meal doesn't start until 7:00 or 8:00 p.m. due to sports, but we strive to eat together.
The family mealtime is a lost art. With busy, fragmented schedules families tend to eat quickly, independently and often the fastfood drive-thru becomes the dining setting.
I am thankful for the family time we have instilled in our household. It demonstrates a genuine concern for our children's activities and whereabouts, our children engage in honest conversation and it allows us to confirm schedules and plans. I leave the dining room table each night knowing my children have consumed a healthy meal and had the opportunity to share about what is important to them.

Modernity and most of all bourgeois-banausic "individualist" ideologues cannot begin to fathom the visceral lust for domination, whether in the form of demented idiotist-master-types or in the form of demented idiotist-slave-types. If humans profoundly and rationally wanted to live free and think free, they would in every case have spun out for themselves forms of existence that both prudently and wisely foster an ethos of self-determination. Moderns are self-delusive beings who cannot begin to face much less fathom their own primal need to be taken care of, to be dependent and directed and consoled and reassured etc. They are inbred patsies standing in droves on the corner, waiting for the next conscription-bus to come along and give their aimless, dissolute and valueless existences some kind of transcendent meaning by putting them to work in imperialist wars for even more brutal domination over other peoples around the planet. After the third or fourth war cut from the same veil of Maya, one gets weary beyond telling of man's insuperable mendacity to himself. "Human nature" is forever a topic unable to be characterized without a word like "pseudophilic." Most humans prove their vacuum of aristeia, of truth, conscience, rationality, or principles, by their truly dreadful and credulous yearning to be lied to. We aren't just by accident a species gullible enough to believe what mass-campaigns of organized deception feed us; we were truly born hungry for sweet illusions and delusions. And nowhere near enough humans succeed in emancipating themselves from the simian lust for narcosis, for soporific virtualities, to make civilization truly feasible.

Definition of transitive in English:
1 Grammar (Of a verb or a sense or use of a verb) able to take a direct object (expressed or implied), e.g. saw in he saw the donkey. The opposite of intransitive.
Example sentences
- Furthermore, the verbs are usually transitive, though occasionally they are used intransitively with a preposition like for, of, or about introducing the object.
- But it is the rare transitive use of the verb, with the action sent on to an object, that catches the attention of philologists.
- However, some transitive verbs take a prepositional phrase instead of an indirect object.
2 Logic & Mathematics (Of a relation) such that, if it applies between successive members of a sequence, it must also apply between any two members taken in order. For instance, if A is larger than B, and B is larger than C, then A is larger than C.
Example sentences
- The reason for this consequence is that identity is a transitive relation: that is to say, if a is identical with b and b is identical with c, then, of necessity, a is identical with c.
- He also considered permutation groups of small degree, groups having a small number of conjugacy classes, multiply transitive groups, and characteristic subgroups of finite groups.
- The transitive property of equality says that if a = b and b = c, then a = c.
- Example sentences
- Like most English prepositions, near can be used either transitively (with a noun-phrase complement) or intransitively (without a complement).
- In this instance 'is' speaks transitively and means approximately 'gathered together,' 'collected.'
- The available evidence thus does not make it clear that this verb can be used transitively, the 'it' of 'suffice it to say' not being particularly referential.
transitiveness noun
- Example sentences
- Spheres can be related to each other as parents, children or siblings; the transitiveness of the relationship properties also creates ancestral and descendant relations.
- Where transitiveness results from the substantial meaning (like seeing), it seems to presume a subject complement.
- The assumption of transitiveness needs to be mentioned as well.
- Example sentences
- I especially like the discussions of behavioral economics, transitivity, endowment effects, and the like.
- Strengthening is a special case of transitivity, in which the missing premise is a tautology: if C & A then A; if A, B; so if C & A, B.
- One can determine to what degree cliques are present by measuring the amount of clustering, also sometimes referred to as transitivity.
Mid 16th century (in the sense 'transitory'): from late Latin transitivus, from transit- 'gone across' (see transit).

- San Jose teen thrill kill trial begins with dramatic 911 tape
The same night 15-year-old sophomore Michael Russell was stabbed to death in his South San Jose backyard, the brother of one of the young men accused of killing him for thrills made an unusual discovery.
Corey Thompson had just arrived for a visit at his parents' house on Choctaw Drive on Nov. 10, 2009, when a motion-activated light illuminated some sweatshirts in the driveway, tucked against the front tire of his father's white Bronco.
Figuring someone in the family had been working on the Bronco and forgotten them, he brought the bundle in.
"I tried handing my mom it," he testified Thursday in the murder trial of one of the young men, Jae Williams. His brother Randy Thompson is set to be tried separately later this spring. "But something inside was hitting my leg."
Inside the pockets of the black sweatshirt were one of his mother's kitchen knives and a clean serrated electrician's knife. The kitchen knife was bent and red with blood.
The discovery sparked immediate concern, though the family, unaware of Michael's death at the time, did not call the police that night.
"Shocked," he told the jury, explaining how he, his sister Leslie and parents felt, "that's what we all were."
But Williams, who was also in the house visiting Randy Thompson, offered a ready, albeit chilling, explanation, which the family believed at the time.
"He said he had a psychotic break and used it (the knife) on a cat," Corey Thompson said.
His testimony capped off the first week of Williams' trial, which resumes Monday. In an opening statement earlier this week, prosecutor Valerie McGuire said the evidence against Williams includes DNA and a confession.
Williams, then 15, told police a few days after the slaying that he and Randy Thompson, then 16, planned and carried out the savage attack on Michael —'cause we wanted to." The duo worshiped Satan and had already beaten a cat to death, he said.
Corey Thompson said that almost immediately after the knife was found, his father, Danny, came home and after conferring privately with his wife, emerged from their bedroom furious.
He ordered Williams out of the house and forbade him from hanging out with Randy, then offered the Santa Teresa High School sophomore some advice.
"He was telling him, 'You should look into getting some help,' " Corey Thompson testified. "Jae was going, 'Hey, yeah, man, OK.' ''
The father then asked Randy Thompson what had happened.
"He said, 'Did you know about this?' " Corey Thompson testified. "Randy was like, 'No, no.' "
The Thompsons did not call Williams' mother about their son's claim he had butchered a cat. Police eventually seized the stained knife, which contained Michael's blood. But it is not yet clear exactly how they found out about it.
According to court documents, Corey's sister Leslie had a friend over that night, Krista Conway, who reported it, apparently after learning Michael had been stabbed at least 12 times.
But Corey also texted his mother about it, according to police records. Thursday, he testified he sent the text after learning of Michael's death. It is unclear whether he knew his brother Randy was a suspect at the time.
"I asked my mother to turn it (the knife) in," he said, "or at least look into it."

It was such a strong year at the movies in 2012 that even coming up with a Top 5 list of honorable mentions was brutal. Nonetheless, here's my list:
1. "Django Unchained": Quentin Tarantino's sensational Western and ode to revenge flicks is a bloody -- and bloody entertaining -- epic. Certain to raise tempers and eyebrows, the provocative and brazen film finds unshackled slave Django (Jamie Foxx) and a bounty hunter (Christoph Waltz, excellent as usual) taking to the road to find most-wanted baddies and Django's wife. Samuel L. Jackson, as a too-loyal slave, and Leonardo DiCaprio, as a sicko plantation owner, are outstanding in one of Tarantino's strongest films.
2. "Lincoln": Tony Kushner's rich, intricate screenplay gets the Steven Spielberg treatment and the result is an intelligent history lesson. Anchored by a remarkable performance by Daniel Day-Lewis, it's a grand, but flawed film -- the overly praised Sally Field goes too over-the-top and there needed some real tightening up -- but Tommy Lee Jones is sensational as Thaddeus Stevens and Spielberg makes the final act a real-life nail-biter.
3. "The Perks of Being a Wallflower": There have been numerous cherished depictions of what high school was like, but none quite as emotionally complex and resonant as this gem. Siblings (Emma Watson and Ezra Miller) welcome a socially awkward but sweet teen (Logan Lerman) into their unpopular fold. First-time director Stephen Chbosky adapts his own novel with passion and vigor.
4. "The Impossible": Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor deliver two of their strongest performances in Juan Antonio Bayona's ("The Orphanage") harrowing but transcendent drama chronicling one family's ordeal during the 2004 tsunami in Thailand. But it's really newcomer Tom Holland, playing their characters' son, who steals the film with a searing, heartfelt performance -- one of the year's best.
5. "The Waiting Room": What is life really like in an overburdened emergency room? Watch Bay Area director Peter Nicks' compelling fly-on-the-wall documentary focusing on the comings and goings at Oakland's Highland Hospital. A topical subject, a necessary film.

Lake has launched its second custom fit model of cycling shoes for 2012. Named CX331, this road cycling shoe features a minimalist side-mount design and a Boa closure system that holds the feet tight for maximum comfort during intense riding activities.
Like the CX331 shoes, the women-specific version named CX331W has internal carbon fiber heel counters, which effectively form the shoe to the rider's foot after it is heated. A standard oven can casino online/a> be used for heating the shoe before manually shaping it around the heel to optimize a custom fit.

Sehr schöne, ruhige und gepflegte, perfekt ausgestattete Wohnung, Metro, Bus und Tram in unmittelbarer Umgebung, Zentrum und weitere Sehenswürdigkeiten schnell zu erreichen. Freundlicher Empfang und hilfreiche Empfehlungen durch Eigentümer.
wij hebben erg genoten van het gezellige appartement van Nicola.
We voelden ons er meteen thuis. Ook de 3 meiden van 16,18 en 19 jaar.
Ze genoten ook van de jacuzzi in hun eigen badkamer.
Fijn dat er 2 kleine balkonnetjes waren, waar je even een kopje espresso kon drinken in de zon. Het appartement zit in een hele rustige, mooie straat en ademt een typisch Italiaanse sfeer uit. Nicola heeft ons goeie informatie gegeven en was heel behulpzaam, accuraat en flexibel.
We werden welkom geheten met een fles wijn, fris en chips en kregen goeie uitleg over het gebruik van het appartement.
Kortom, een echte aanrader dit appartement!
Annemieke,Fred, Eva, Anne Mei en Nicky
Een heerlijk appartement! Met 4 personen voldoende ruimte. Fijne wijk, dichtbij metro en appartement van alle gemakken voorzien.
Very nice loft apartment, clean and with all necessary equipment to make your stay as relaxed as possible. The area where the apartment is located is not special, but the metro is nearby and it takes approximately 10 minutes to get to the city center (Duomo). We heave really enjoyed our stay at this place. My only recommendation would be to place beds of a better quality... This would increase the luxurious experience even more!

A lot of restaurants, bars, and disco..
But you can hang out too and drink a coffee.
The apartment was very clean and you hBe everything you

Awesome Loft. Our girls really enjoyed it. It was a great stay and a really nice and fast communication with Nicola. I can definitly recommend it. Many thanks!
The stay in both MILANO WASHINGHTON and MILANO FIERA apartments was a great experience. The apartments were clean, comfortable, fully equipped and located in very nice neighbourhood. Both Nicola and Manuela were very nice and helpful. This is definitely the place to come back when travelling to Milano.
We had a very nice stay, the contact with Nicola was good and friendly and Manuela, who met us on arrival and departure, was fantastic!
Very nice and centrally located apt., close to Duomo and main shopping streets as well as the surprisingly nice San Lorenzo neighborhood, which we didnot know yet, nice & trendy restaurants at walking distance. We used also some recommendations written on the glass map on table in hall, all good! A place to return.
Nice and quiet appartment. Spacious and luxurious bedrooms. The living room is a bit dull. Kitchen tiny but extremely well equipped! Recommended!

Boy Scouts Continue History of Discrimination
For the last two years Jon Langbert has organized a popcorn fundraiser for Pack 70 at University Park Elementary. Then at a September Scout meeting, someone complained about his homosexuality, Langbert said.
He said he was told this week that he can't wear the Scout leader shirt he was given last year and that he cannot serve in a leadership position because of his sexual orientation.
"What message does that send to my son? It says I'm a second-class citizen," Langbert said.
Robert McTaggart, the Cubmaster for Pack 70, said Langbert will be allowed to continue as a popcorn fundraiser. That position is not considered a leadership role and can be held by a volunteer.
The Boys Scouts of America has had a long-standing policy that rejects leaders who are gay or atheist. In 2000, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the organization's rules in a 5-4 decision.
"Our policy is not meant to serve as social commentary outside the Scout program," said Pat Currie of the Circle 10 Council, the umbrella organization that oversees Pack 70. "We respect people who have a different opinion from us. We just hope those same people will respect our right to have a different opinion."
The situation in University Park came to light after Park Cities People reported it online Friday.
Currie said Langbert can continue to participate in the pack's activities as a parent.
"We wish him all the best in that endeavor, obviously," he said. "It's our hope and our desire that he stays in the program."
Langbert has agreed to continue raising money through the popcorn fundraiser, which ends in late November. But he said he's not going to let the Boy Scouts "brush this under the carpet."
He said he is angry the Highland Park school district allows the Boy Scouts to use its facilities in spite of their discrimination. He said he has contacted attorneys.
"My tax dollars are paying for their discrimination. And the next gay dad who wants to come along can't. I'm not going to let them," Langbert said. "My position is that the school cannot allow the use of their facilities to an organization that discriminates."

That's just awful. They are a horrible example for tomorrow's leaders. How can the community stand for this? It seems like we have come so far in some areas and nowhere in others.

That father should take his son and leave the boy scouts. Why would he want to raise funds for an organization that won't allow him to represent them? Sure, they want him to be involved...so they can get his money. I wish people would make as big an issue of the Boy Scout policy against homosexuality as the do about Don't Ask Don't Tell. They are about the same and equally disciminatory.

It's a private organization. Some religions are the same way. They're private, too. Horrible? No. You don't like it? Sure. But I don't like that you don't like it. It's a free country. I'll support your right not to like it as I support the BSA to make their own rules.
- March 15, 2011 at 5:59 PM
@Mikemenn: If the Boy Scouts discriminates, then it shouldn't receive US tax dollar benefits (through support from public schools, military branches, and other public entities). Somehow the BSA has finagled this ruse of both government support and the right to discriminate. Would it make sense for your tax dollars to support the KKK? The Boy Scouts is akin to a light version of the Hitler Youth. I certainly don't want my tax dollars being used to support hate.

Q&A: Hal Steinbrenner Talks Free Agents, Payroll, Empty Seats
Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner doesn't often talk to the media, but he stopped to take questions for several minutes on his way out of the Major League Baseball owners' meetings Thursday in Paradise Valley, Ariz. Here's what he had to say:
Question: On the state of the Yankees' off-season
Steinbrenner: "We've signed three or four of the biggest free agents on the market. We're pretty happy with that. It's great to have Andy (Pettite) back and (Hiroki) Kuroda and Ichiro (Suzuki). (Kevin) Youkilis I'm excited about. I've always liked him as a player. We've got some work to do, still. We need another bat. We're not done yet."
Question: Is your plan to get your payroll under the $189 million luxury tax threshold by 2014 while maintaining a championship-caliber team looking more challenging than it did a year ago?
Steinbrenner: "It was looking challenging a year ago. But again, as I've said all along, the young players that have stepped up are going to have to continue to do so, and some of the ones that haven't yet are going to have to. That's always been part of the equation. But the commitment to field a championship team is paramount, and that won't change. Our fans expect that."
Question: Are you concerned about some of the things you saw in the playoffs last year – fan anger, empty seats, etc.?
Steinbrenner: "I'm surprised to hear that there's anger if you see what we've done this off-season. Like I said, we've signed three or four of the top free agents on the market, because we're going to continue to field a championship-caliber team. I'm a little surprised to hear that. The empty seats in the playoffs were due to a variety of reasons, quite frankly. The schedule, Stubhub, things like that. A lot of tickets being available shortly before the game. We didn't know we were going to be in it. Obviously we went to Game 5 in the first series, you got the next game the day after, so it was challenging. … I'm a little surprised to hear about the anger. But look, all I can continue to tell everyone is our commitment to the fans is never going to change. We will always field a championship-caliber team. Is our goal 189 next year? Yes. But only if I'm convinced that the team I see we put together is a championship-caliber team."
Question: Are you absolutely committed to getting the payroll under $189 million by next year, or could that change based on how the team performs in 2013?
Steinbrenner: "I've been resolute that that is our goal. And that is our goal. But I've also said, including at spring training a year ago, that in order to achieve that goal, these young players have to step up and get the job done. How many World Series winning teams the last 10 years had a payroll over 189? One. You don't have to have a $200 million payroll to do that. And I'm a big believer in that. But you've got to have a good mix of veterans and young talent. … If the young players, the [David] Phelps of the world, who did step up continue to do that and some of the other guys like [Manny] Banuelos, [Michael] Pineda we've yet to see. If they get the job done, the math works."
Question: Will $189 million be less of a goal in future years once you get under in 2014, since the luxury tax rate goes down once you're no longer a repeat offender?
Steinbrenner: "I don't see it being less of a goal. I believe that you don't have to have a $220 million payroll to win a world championship, and you shouldn't have to."
Question: Is cutting payroll something you need to do to remain profitable or is this strictly about eliminating wasteful spending?
Steinbrenner: "It's about, to me, being fiscally responsible. I know everybody looks at our attendance and our revenues and all that. But you also have to look at our expenses — $100 million a year in revenue sharing; we pay for every dollar of the debt service on the bonds that build the stadium, which doesn't cost the taxpayers anything. We pay it every year. We have significant expenses along with those significant revenues, believe me."
Question: Any chance you work out a contract extension with manager Joe Girardi, whose deal is up after this season?
Steinbrenner: "I'm not a big believer in extensions. There's exceptions to every rule, but I'm just not a big believer in extensions. I'm worried about this year. He's not the only guy who's coming up, obviously. I'm focusing on 2013, as I should."
Question: Are you pleased with Girardi's performance?
Steinbrenner: "Last year, obviously nobody is happy with the end results, but we still had a hell of a record and a hell of a season, in my opinion, and I'm proud of that. I'm not proud about where we ended up, believe me."
Question: Do you foresee reaching an extension with Robinson Cano before he hits free agency next winter?
Steinbrenner: "Again, I'm not a big believer in extensions, but there are exceptions to every rule. We'll see what happens. There's been no real significant dialogue as of yet."

Mark Breitbard, president of the Gap's North American division is going to take over as CEO of Gymboree, the children's clothes company said on Tuesday.
Breitbard had taken over responsibility for Gap's domestic performance in October, as a part of a major revamp in the casual clothes retailer's management line-up.
Breitbard's appointment at Gymboree is effective Jan. 14, the company said, taking over from interim CEO Kip M. Garcia. Both companies are based in San Francisco.
Gymboree was taken private by Bain Capital Partners for $1.8 billion in 2011. CEO Matthew McCauley turned in his resignation in September last year.

STOCKTON - A man who suffered a gunshot wound to the head in a drive-by shooting Friday night in south Stockton died Tuesday, police said.
The man was identified by police as 32-year-old Pedro Valenzuela. Valenzuela and a 24-year-old woman were shot about 8:40 p.m. Friday near West Third and South Harrison streets, authorities said.
Valenzuela is the 66th homicide Stockton police have investigated in 2012. The San Joaquin County Sheriff's Office is investigating 10 murders, five of which occurred near Stockton city limits.
Police were unable to identify Valenzuela until Tuesday, a day after asking for the public's help. Authorities allowed media outlets to photograph the man in the intensive care unit at a hospital. A Univision viewer called the Spanish-language network with information that led to the man's identification, said Officer Joe Silva, a spokesman for the Stockton Police Department.

Charitable Remainder Trusts offer the opportunity to make a generous gift to the Seminary now and receive income for life, or a period of years, after which the trust's principal passes to the Seminary. These trusts are available in two forms, according to the needs and preferences of the donor: the annuity trust and the unitrust.
The annuity trust provides the donor with a fixed income for the life of the trust based on the trust's initial value. No additions may be made to this trust. The unitrust pays a fixed percentage of the trust's value, as revalued annually, thereby providing income that may vary from year to year. Additions may be made to a unitrust. Variations of this trust also lend themselves to retirement planning and the receipt of non-income-producing assets.
Apart from the distinctions cited above, Charitable Remainder Trusts offer these benefits to the donor:
