The 23rd Annual Benefit Gala may have been celebrating Center Stage and its programs. But for many of the guests at the theater's annual shindig, this night was all about outgoing board president Lynn Deering, who was stepping down after six years on the job. "She is so hard working. I mean, she has devoted herself to the Center Stage board. [She put in] thousands of hours - fundraising, legislative work; things that she's never done before. She put her whole heart and soul into doing this," said Lainy LeBow-Sachs, executive vice president for external relations for the Kennedy Krieger Institute.

The Ravens have recently talked with veteran NFL coach Marty Schottenheimer about their head coaching vacancy, Schottenheimer's agent said yesterday. "There's been some discussion but nothing substantive," said Trace Armstrong, a former NFL player who represents Schottenheimer. Schottenheimer, 64, is expected to wait until the Ravens are done with the first round of interviews before speaking with them again.
