Last week was a great one for cable news watching. Not because any one channel did such outstanding work, but rather because several stories clamored simultaneously for the camera's attention. The choices that a channel makes in such situations are usually one of the best barometers of where it really lives. After two days and nights of watching CNN ping-pong back and forth on location from the Cleveland captivity story to the Jodi Arias trial in Arizona, I can say for the first time since Jeff Zucker took over as president in January that I have a pretty good idea of where his CNN is headed day-to-day.

The second Eddie's of Roland Park store opened Sept. 22, 1992, so the store's 20th anniversary was actually last fall. But the store on North Charles Street is celebrating its 20th year officially April 13. "Spring is a nice time," owner Nancy Cohen said, smiling. "It's around the Jewish holidays. Kids are back in school. " The store at 6213 N. Charles (the original, 69-year-old store is on Roland Avenue) will mark its anniversary with a Shop Local event from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., featuring specials, tastings and a meet-and-greet with local vendors.

Former State Superintendent Nancy Grasmick has joined the staff of the Kennedy Krieger Institute, a renowned special education and research institution, where she will lead a new Center for Innovation and Leadership in Special Education.  The Institute announced this week that Grasmick, who started her career teaching deaf children at William S. Baer School in Baltimore, will serve as the director of the newly formed center which they said...

On Sunday, they'll play. But on Saturday, they'll eat and eat and eat. The Taste of the NFL's 22nd Annual Party with a Purpose will take place on Saturday at the Ernest N.

Longo, the owner and executive chef of Pierpoint in Fells Point, will be joined this year by former Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Qadry Ismail, who won a Super Bowl ring at Super Bowl XXXV, the last time the Ravens were in the big game.

Nancy F. Reeder, a homemaker and volunteer, died Jan. 3 of multiple organ failure at her winter home in Wellington, Fla. She was 93. The daughter of a banker and a homemaker, Nancy Hardcastle Fisher was born and raised in Ruxton. Mrs. Reeder was descended from Thomas McKean, a governor of Pennsylvania and a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and Edward Lloyd and Henry Lloyd, governors of Maryland, said a daughter, Ellen Dryden Reeder of Monkton. She attended the Greenwood School and Roland Park Country School.

As a high school teacher who has experienced the horror of a school shooting first hand, I take exception to Susan Reimer 's column about Nancy Lanza, the mother of the Newtown, Conn., school gunman ("Nancy Lanza, Newtown's forgotten victim," Dec. 23). While Ms. Lanza was indeed an undeserving victim of her son's rampage, she hasn't been vilified unjustly. Ms. Lanza was not an irresponsible parent because her son suffered from mental illness; she was an irresponsible gun owner because her unstable son was able to gain access to her arsenal of assault weapons with 30-round clips.

The philosopher Kahlil Gibran's meditation on children is a touching favorite among parents who have read "The Prophet. " In it, he captures perfectly the helplessness we feel as our children go out into the world, into the future, and necessarily leave us behind. He writes to us, "You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. " While we understand that we cannot set the path of the arrow across the infinite or mark its landing, we want to believe that we are "the bow that is stable," that our strength and love will help our children go swift and far. I am sure Nancy Lanza wanted to be that bow for her son, Adam, who killed her and then 20 schoolchildren and six women who cared for them in Newtown, Conn.

Nancy is getting a promotion at work, so she is offered a better car and more New England territory. She also manages to pick up Adderall to sell. Silas is happy about getting to grow everyday at work, while Shane is having trouble dealing with tapeworm-infested homeless people at the police impound. Luckily his girlfriend Angela saves him. Jill is going through menopause and decides to drown her sorrows in foie gras and wine. This means she is not pregnant with Andy's baby, and that she has been withholding this information from him. Jill fears losing Andy, the only cork plugging the hole that is her life.

Little Boxes on the hillside, little boxes filled with sticky weed. Little boxes on the hillside, little boxes will get you high. When Nancy looks for work, she remembers to leave brick dancer, soccer mom drug dealer, arsonist, and most hardcore MILF off her resume. Meanwhile, her sister Jill is pregnant. Hopefully not with Doug's baby, and when I say "hopefully," I am quoting her. Andy has been parenting Nancy's children, then Jill's creepy twins, and even Nancy and Jill themselves.
