Frommers.com: Two New Passport Rules Elicit Anger – by Jason Cochran 12/15/2015


Frommers.com: Two New Passport Rules Elicit Anger – by Jason Cochran 12/15/2015


The U.S. Department has changed the rules for passports in two ways.

First, as of January 1, 2016, it will no longer allow you to add pages to your passport if you fill up the ones you have with visas and entry stamps.

[…]

Passports still come in two sizes: 28 pages and 52 pages. You have a choice which to order when you apply, and the cost for the two sizes is the same. Our advice is to always get the larger version, even if you don't think you'll fill all the pages, to avoid having to pony up another $110.

Andrew Soergel - U.S. News & World Report - Minimum Wage Increase Comes with Cadre of Potential Complications

Minimum Wage Increase Comes with Cadre of Potential Complications

Andrew Soergel - U.S. News & World Report - Tuesday, December 22, 2015


New Year's Day is still more than a week off, but 2016 is already shaping up to be the year of the minimum wage increase.

Alaska, Arkansas, California and Colorado are among about a dozen states due for minimum wage upticks at the turn of the year, with more increases and more potential legislation already in the pipeline for later in 2016 and beyond.

The federal minimum wage currently sits at just $7.25 per hour, though waiters and individuals who receive a bulk of their income through tips can legally earn even less. Vermont Senator and Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is among a host of politicians championing higher wages as a means of revitalizing the middle class.

But the jury is still out on how much minimum wage gains would actually help the U.S. economy and the middle class. Some studies suggest government-mandated wage hikes are actually detrimental to the American workforce.

Honestly, you cannot make this up – Baltimore Sun story by Luke Broadwater: “Baltimore mayor, other city elected officials to get raises”


Honestly, you cannot make this up – Baltimore Sun story by Luke Broadwater: “Baltimore mayor, other city elected officials to get raises”

“Baltimore mayor, other city elected officials to get raises”
Baltimore Sun story by Luke Broadwater December 22, 2015

“The paychecks of Baltimore's elected officials — including Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, City Council President Bernard C. "Jack" Young and Comptroller Joan M. Pratt — are about to get bigger.

On Wednesday, the city's Board of Estimates, which includes those three officials, is set to approve pay raises for themselves and the members of the City Council.

Rawlings-Blake's salary is set to go from $167,000 to $171,000. Young and Pratt's pay is set to increase from $110,000 to $113,000.

According to a city law passed in 2007, the elected officials are entitled to a 2.5 percent raise if some city workers also get a raise in that year's budget. The raises go into effect Jan. 1.

Howard Libit, a spokesman for the mayor, said she plans to abstain from voting on her raise. He said officials are voting on the raises in public to be "fully transparent and disclose what's happening."

The view from under the Maryland bus. By Kevin E. Dayhoff Dec. 20, 2015

The view from under the Maryland bus. By Kevin E. Dayhoff Dec. 20, 2015 http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2015/12/the-view-from-under-maryland-bus-by.html

I spent time this afternoon with several of the police officers, known as the “Baltimore Six,” and their families, as part of efforts to help brighten their Christmas holiday.

By Kevin E. Dayhoff Dec. 20, 2015 Maryland Troopers Association Lodge #20 Chaplain

The views expressed here are not only correct but they are my views and mine alone – and the views of my upbringing – and my mother’s but I take full responsibility for my views. And please note that I take great pride in respecting the points of views of others who respect mine.

I spent time this afternoon with several of the police officers, known as the “Baltimore Six,” and their families, as part of efforts to help brighten their Christmas holiday.

This was the first time I had the opportunity to meet any of them in person. I met fine individuals and wonderful families. My heart – our hearts go out for them at this difficult time.

I guess that my many years of serving as an appointed and an elected official, as well as five-years as a chaplain for the Westminster Fire Department and Maryland Troopers Association Lodge #20, and 12-years as a newspaper reporter gives me a certain insight into the character of individuals.

I have been told by other police officers and public officials that have known some or all of the six Baltimore police officers; that these men and women in uniform have the hearts of dedicated public servants, who have worked tirelessly under very difficult circumstances to protect and serve.

In return, because it was politically expedient, certain public officials have thrown these men and woman under a bus in order to enhance their careers and cover-up their short-comings and inadequacies – and years of failed public policies and political leadership.

These officers and their families are our neighbors, friends, and part of our greater blue family.

They are all on a long journey. As sad as their current circumstances, today they were measured, thoughtful, reflective, but nevertheless upbeat, not only because they exuded a depth of character and personal integrity, but because they have been humbled by the incredible support they have received from the community.

I guess we have not been reading about the support they have received from the community because it does not meet with a pre-determined media narrative.  

They will need more of our help in the future – and I may quietly reach-out and ask for your support.

We help these individuals because it is the right thing to do.

We help, simply because for those of us who have served the public in Maryland for years – it is only by the grace of God that it could just as easily be you or me under the Maryland bus.

All of us who served in appointed or elected office in Maryland or have served the public in Maryland know all too well that in Maryland you do not have to do anything wrong to wake-up one morning a scape-goat and thrown under a bus because it is convenient for a powerful individual of powerful organization or institution or simply good politics.

(I faced it just the other day when a powerful institution wanted to throw me under a bus. I was just doing my job as a volunteer. They saw that as a perceived threat. Fortunately the men and woman of the fire company stood behind me.)

Today, any one of us can be the victim of a news media account that is factual but does not tell the truth. Or the current pre-occupation with lies, damn lies and videotape.

In the race to the bottom that is Maryland, there is an unscrupulous political element that does not care about the welfare of individuals and families if it does not meet with their political narrative or quest for power.

In Maryland, no one has any immunity from being squished like a bug, just for doing your job, or standing-up for the right thing or standing-up to corrupt powerful individuals and institutions that wish to sweep its short-comings under the rug, with the explicit help of the Maryland elite-ruling class.

Always remember, that in the end; without public safety you cannot have a community.

It is at time like this that I recall the words of the German clergyman, Pastor Martin Niemoeller (1892-1984)

"First they came for the Communists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me, and by that time no one was left to speak up."

In Maryland, it is time that we stood-up for what is right. There is no better time than right now for standing-up for the Baltimore Six.

Baltimore Six: Charges against Baltimore officers in Freddie Gray case

Baltimore Six: Charges against Baltimore officers in Freddie Gray case



William Porter was the first Baltimore officer to face trial; a hung jury resulted in a mistrial

Five other officers to face trial on charges ranging from misconduct to second-degree murder
 
Updated 9:14 PM ET, Wed December 16, 2015

(CNN) Six police officers have been charged in the death of Freddie Gray, with the charges ranging from misconduct in office to second-degree depraved-heart murder, according to documents from Marilyn Mosby, the state's attorney for Baltimore.

"Our investigation revealed that we had enough probable cause to bring charges against the six officers," Mosby said when the charges came down in May. "The grand jury, who also concluded there is sufficient evidence for probable cause, returned indictments on all counts presented to them."
Here is rundown of the six officers and the charges they face.

Carroll County Firefighters respond to minor chemical spill at McDaniel College

Carroll County Firefighters respond to minor chemical spill at McDaniel College

Firefighters from Westminster New Windsor, Reese, and the Carroll County Hazmat response team responded Thursday morning to a minor chemical spill at McDaniel College

Westminster Fire Engine and Hose Co. No. 1 staff report

Thursday, December 17, 2015

The Carroll County operations center first received a call at approximately 9 a.m. this morning with a report of a small chemical spill on the second floor of Eaton Hall.

At 9:06 a.m. emergency units were dispatched from the Westminster, New Windsor, Reese fire departments, and the Carroll County Hazmat response team.

Campus officials later reported, “A minor laboratory chemical spill occurred in Eaton Hall this morning. Local authorities immediately responded and quickly determined that this was not a life threatening situation. Cleanup is currently in progress. As a precaution, Eaton and Lewis Hall will reopen on Monday morning for regular business hours.”

The first units arrived on scene at 9:10 a.m. with Westminster chief 3-1 in command. Upon arrival, firefighters evacuated the building. At that time the Carroll County hazmat response team monitored the building and evaluated the situation and determined that there was no danger to the public.

According to Westminster fire department officials, the incident involved a small accidental spill involving 3-Heptanone which had spilled down an elevator shaft while being transported by cart.

One person involved in the incident was medically evaluated on the scene by paramedics, but not transported to the hospital. There were no injuries.

The building was returned to McDaniel at 11:15 a.m. for building repairs and minor cleaning. Firefighters and equipment remained on the scene until 11:30 a.m.

Toyota #junkmail Customer service #fail


Toyota #junkmail Customer service #fail

Speaking of customer service: For 3-years we have asked Toyota 6 times to remove us from its unwanted #junkmail marketing campaign. #FAIL

Dec. 16, 2015

We are now once again asking Toyota to stop mailing us junk marketing materials. What is the point of mailing stuff to folks who do not want the materials? If it is to annoy an otherwise good customer – it has worked.

As if it were not already well-accepted that going to new car dealerships to be a horrible experience….

Toyota Tampa Permit #2245, 9427 Corporate Lake Drive, Tampa, FL 33634 must be the junk mail capital of the world. Why isn’t there a way to ask the junk mailers to stop?

And anecdotally it has always appeared that Toyota sells personal information to the extended vehicle warranty scammers.

The Maryland Department of Motor Vehicles has said that they do not sell private personal information to marketers – so how do the scammers get the information?

We asked Ford once to not put us into its junk mail marketing campaigns when we had the truck repaired recently for a recall notice and never received any junk mail.

Gee, I guess we will avoid Toyota dealerships in the future. Just saying

We have been registered with the Direct Marketing Association www.dmachoice.org - do not mail list for years – but it certainly does not stop the unscrupulous.

We already avoid buying anything from mail-order catalogs because of the unwanted junk mail catalog problems a purchase creates….

South America Argentina President Mauricio Macri

Dec. 12, 2015

This is too fun, the newly elected president of Argentina, Mr. Mauricio Macri, is now following my Twitter feed - https://twitter.com/kevindayhoff @kevindayhoff.

In the past I have written a number of articles about South American politics; specifically Cuba, Panama, Bolivia; Chile and her president, Michelle Bachelet – a physician who military expert, (yes, read that a second time,) who must be one of the world’s most intriguing players on the world stage; Brazil and Argentina. I just got back from Cuba.

One of the fascinating things about writing about South America, is that you get mail (e-mails) – and sometimes lots of it.

In the past it seems that I may have annoyed some of the followers of the former president of Argentina, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. Or not, maybe it was my imagination. She was president from 2007 to 2015 and the widow of former president Néstor Kirchner…

I am thrilled that President Macri is following me on Twitter. Let’s see what we can do with this, eh?

@PresidenteMacri #MacriPresidente Congratulations on your election Mr. President.

12 de diciembre 2015

Esto es muy divertido, el recién elegido presidente de Argentina, el Sr. Mauricio Macri, está ahora siguiendo mi feed de Twitter - https://twitter.com/kevindayhoffkevindayhoff.

En el pasado he escrito una serie de artículos sobre la política de América del Sur; específicamente Cuba, Panamá, Bolivia; Chile y su presidenta, Michelle Bachelet - médico experto militar, (sí, leyó que por segunda vez,), que debe ser uno de los jugadores más intrigantes del mundo en el escenario mundial; Brasil y Argentina. Me acabo de regresar de Cuba.

Una de las cosas fascinantes acerca de escribir sobre América del Sur, es que se llega electrónico (e-mails) - y, a veces mucho de ello.

En el pasado, parece que voy a tener molesto algunos de los seguidores del ex presidente de Argentina, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner. O no, tal vez fue mi imaginación. Ella fue presidente 2007 a 2015 y la viuda del ex presidente Néstor Kirchner ...

Estoy encantado de que el presidente Macri me está siguiendo en Twitter. Vamos a ver lo que podemos hacer con esto, ¿eh?

Jubilation and anger as Mauricio Macri becomes Argentina's new president



Published on Dec 11, 2015
Argentina's new president Mauricio Macri has taken up the reigns, heading up a country which is deeply divided.

His swearing-in has brought both his supporters and those of former leader Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner out onto the streets of Buenos Aires.

She snubbed all of the inauguration events, following weeks of bickering.

Minutes after centre-right Macri made a speech calling for national unity, groups representing both sides jeered each other in front of the Government House.

The Historical Society of Carroll County Announces the Reprinting of - The Forgotten Corner: A History of Oakland Mill by Diana Scott

http://kevindayhoffwestgov-net.blogspot.com/2015/12/the-historical-society-of-carroll.html

Just in time for Christmas

From early settlement to the growth of a textile mill on the bank of the Patapsco River, it examines the lives of those who worked in and around the Oakland Manufacturing Company.

Oral histories with some of the last residents offer a moving account of life in the town and the experience of watching their community disappear. The new edition includes information not found in the original.

The book will be after available November 11 in the Shop at Cockey’s. The price is $22.00 plus tax. Historical Society members receive a 10% discount. The Shop is located at 216 East Main Street in Westminster. The Shop is open Tuesday through Saturday, 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Mrs. Scott presented an illustrated lecture on the history of Oakland Mill at the Historical Society’s Box Lunch Talk on November 11, 2015 at Grace Hall, Grace Lutheran Church, Carroll Street, Westminster.

The Box Lunch Talks begin at noon and last about an hour. Bring your lunch – the Society provides beverages and desserts. Admission is $3.00 for Society members and $7.00 for non-members. Books will be available for purchase.
