A new build of Windows 10 preview is available for download, Microsoft announced Friday morning. Now the world (those who've signed up for the preview, that is) can sample what analysts and journalists previewed on Wednesday.
The build will download automatically for Windows Insiders overnight, or you can get it now by going to PC Settings > Update and recovery > Preview builds and clicking the Check Now button. If you need to start from the very beginning—in other words, you’ve never installed Windows 10 at all—check out our tutorial on how to install Windows 10 from scratch. You can also obtain the ISO for a clean install or virtual machine download here
In his blog post, Microsoft’s Gabriel Aul warned that not everything Microsoft talked about earlier this week would be available.
“Some of the new features that Joe demoed on Wednesday will be available for our Windows Insiders starting today with our newest build – 9926,” Aul wrote. “However, not everything you saw on Wednesday is included in this new build. Much is still in-progress and we’re getting it out to you as fast as we can – so you can try it out and give us feedback. Over the course of the next few builds, you will see us refine Windows 10 and continue to improve the experiences as well as quality and stability.”
What Microsoft showed off in Redmond was Build 9924, which we played with as part of our preview. In a nutshell, here’s what you should expect in the new 9926 build: read more here - http://www.pcworld.com/article/2874800/microsofts-windows-10-build-9926-with-cortana-is-live-now.html#tk.nl_pcwbest

Carroll County Md Commissioners vote for legislative initiative to fill vacancies with special election

Carroll County Md Commissioners vote for legislative initiative to fill vacancies with special election



Carroll County Times article by Wiley Hayes: Late legislative initiative to limit central committee's responsibilities


The Carroll County Board of Commissioners will be submitting a late addition to their legislative package to take away the power of the Carroll County Republican Central Committee to select the replacement of a county commissioner in the event of an opening.

This legislation is in part due to the controversial decision by the committee to only recommend former Commissioner Robin Bartlett Frazier to replace Sen. Joe Getty. The Republican Central Committee has since reversed course and recommended three names to Gov. Larry Hogan for the seat.

The commissioners voted 3-2 on Thursday to send this legislation to the Carroll County delegation. Commissioners Stephen Wantz, R-District 1, and Richard Rothschild R-District 4, were the opposing votes.

Len Lazarick MarylandReporter.com: Delegates want voters to
fill vacancies in legislature, but GOP wants to keep party role


By Len Lazarick Len@MarylandReporter.com

Two freshman delegates from each party are working on
legislation to give voters a greater role in filling legislative seats that
become vacant.

At the same time, Republican Party officials are working on
ways to establish statewide party rules that will maintain the strong role of
party central committees in the process and avoid the special elections the
delegates are proposing.

The issue is a hot one in Annapolis as three counties must
fill seats held by senators and a delegate who have now become part of the
Hogan administration.

The Maryland Constitution gives the local party committees a
key role in selecting a replacement for senators and delegates from their own
party. But it does not specify a process for how they select a name to send to
the governor, who makes the final appointment.

The Republican Central Committees in Carroll, Frederick and
Washington counties all used different methods to select replacements for Sen.
Joe Getty, Del. Kelly Schulz and Sen. Chris Shank. Carroll had the most
secretive process, voting in closed meetings on names of applicants the
committee would not reveal.

See Dick Hull's latest photography at the Carroll Camera Club’s annual exhibition, Lens Flair” at the Carroll Arts Center.



January 29, 2015 KED

On Friday, February 9, 2007, Dick Hull retired from Carroll Land Services. The creative genius that made Carroll Land Services so successful can still be seen through the lens of his camera.

Find his latest work at the Carroll Arts Center in an exhibit with the Carroll Camera Club’s annual exhibition, Lens Flair.” http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/news/local/ph-cc-carroll-county-camera-club-20150120,0,2829628.story

According to Carroll County Times writer Jacob deNobel, the exhibition started on Thursday, January 22, 2015 and is “running until Feb. 28. The exhibition features photography from the group's 38 members and families, with subjects including nature photography, still-lifes, abstract images and landscapes


[…]

Mr. deNobel quotes Mr. Hull to remark, “Richard Hull, a nature photographer from Manchester who will be exhibiting in the show, said he began taking pictures in the mid-'80s when he became involved with underwater photography. When he bought his first digital camera in 2005, he had trouble with the new technology, though soon embraced the tech wholeheartedly.

“‘I’m not a computer guy, so to learn computers and the programs was pretty tough," Hull said. "In my opinion, it really is superior a lot of the time, even though there are people who would hate to hear me say it.’”

Barry Rascovar January 21, 2015 Future looks bright for short-term delegate Cavey

Barry Rascovar January 21, 2015 Future looks bright for short-term delegate Cavey


++++++++++++++++++++++++

Columnist Barry Rascovar discusses Chris Cavey who recently “Cavey served as a Baltimore County delegate for just 16 days. Clearly, some explanation is in order…”

I have worked with Del. Cavey for many years and I have appreciated every moment of it. Del. Cavey is thoughtful, very bright, insightful, a strategic thinker and always seems to easily understand the context in we serve and see the bigger picture. 

In an era when it is not good enough to be the best, Del. Cavey is nice.

And yes, many of us are looking forward to Cavey now “participating in the administrative side of things in Annapolis during Hogan's term as governor…”

At a time when reaching across the aisle and playing nice in order to move the ball forward; Del. Cavey is perfect for leadership in the Hogan administration in Annapolis.

Del. Cavey knows Maryland government and remembers when members of Maryland General Assembly may have disagreed upon various issues; but they always worked together harmoniously for the greater good of Maryland. Remember the name Cavey – it rhymes with civility.

WE are looking forward to many great things from Del. Cavey.

Please enjoy Mr. Rascovar’s column…

Kevin E. Dayhoff - January 27, 2015

++++++++++++++++++++++++

When the Maryland General Assembly kicked off its 90-day session a week ago, two members of the House of Delegates from Baltimore County were missing.

One of them is a familiar name to people living in rural parts of the county — Del. Wade Kach, a fixture in the Maryland State House for four decades. The retired teacher just kept getting reelected.

The other missing delegate is not nearly as familiar — Chris Cavey.

Cavey served as a Baltimore County delegate for just 16 days. Clearly, some explanation is in order.


[…]

Kach did the smart thing and ran for Baltimore County Council instead.

His name recognition and reputation as a diligent, moderate conservative helped him defeat one-term incumbent GOP Councilman Todd Huff of Lutherville.

Kach then won easily in November with 68 percent of the vote.

He was sworn in as a councilman in early December, leaving a void in the county's legislative delegation. By law, the Republican Central Committee for the county gets to appoint a replacement, with the governor's consent.
Enter, Chris Cavey.

The former insurance agent has been a longtime field worker for Republican candidates. He served as chair of the Baltimore County Republican Party for seven years and as first vice-chair of the state Republican Party for 7 1/2 years.


[…]

Hogan and Lt. Gov. Boyd Rutherford attended Cavey's swearing-in ceremony in the House chambers. The interim delegate's grandchildren held the Bible as he took the oath of office.


Now that Chris Cavey's name has been entered in the legislative record book, he can turn to his next assignment — participating in the administrative side of things in Annapolis during Hogan's term as governor…
