  1. Girl Scouts thinking about Asia -- and a Bronze Award [Lutherville]

    Our local <strong>Girl Scout</strong> <strong>Thinking Day,</strong> which was enjoyed by girls from Daisy Scouts through Seniors last month, was planned and executed as part of Junior Troop 2264's Bronze Award. The girls chose Asia as the theme, rather than a single country. According to leader <strong>Deb Baker,</strong> this was to teach all the Scouts that Asia is more than China and Japan. Among the special activities was an Indian dance, performed by the troop and taught to them by dance instructor <strong>Charuta Patil.</strong> The Scouts, who are fifth- and sixth-graders at Timonium Elementary School and the Montessori School, are <strong>Alexandra Angelos, Emma Chandler, Elizabeth de Guzman, Isabella Hodiste, Allison Horky, Ella Marcovsky, Sarah Martin, Kristen Metzler, Sierra Raspa </strong>and<strong> Lisa Sandson.</strong> Leaders are Deb Baker and <strong>Barb Chandler.</strong> The Bronze Award is earned by a troop and includes other requirements on which the girls are working. I'll be sure to let you know when the troop receives its award.

  2. Singapore, a land without entitlements

    <strong></strong>SINGAPORE -- While the U.S. unemployment rate "dropped" to 7.7 percent last month -- a figure even The Washington Post acknowledged was due "in large part because the labor force fell by 350,000" -- here in this modern and prosperous city-state of slightly more than 5 million people, unemployment is practically nonexistent.

  3. The Asia opportunity

    Over the past two years, the Obama administration has focused greater diplomatic attention and military resources on East Asia as part of a policy described as a "pivot" or "rebalancing." While American leaders are loath to admit it publicly, this is a response to China's growing influence, particularly Beijing's territorial claims around its borders. China now has the world's second-largest economy and a rapidly modernizing military. It is led by a Communist Party that maintains its power by promoting a strong sense of national pride and expectations of China's continued rise to greatness.

  10. Sweet Spots

    On a February afternoon, a light snow falls steadily from the sky and the temperature hovers in the low 30s. But to peek in the front window of Yogi Castle in Ellicott City, you&rsquo;d think it was a steamy July afternoon. Every table is occupied, and members of a girls rec league basketball team and their parents stand in the back, eating yogurt and celebrating a victory.
