Plan B solution to unemployment

Kevin E. Dayhoff

The rate of unemployment continues to harry the local and national economy as the nation continues to try to figure-out an exit strategy to an entrenched recession. Last Friday the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the national jobless rate held steady at 9.7 percent.

A Review – Sexy “Canterbury Tales”

Roy Meachum

First it should be established the Maryland Ensemble Theatre operates in the basement of what was once the Francis Scott Key Hotel. It’s possible to argue that some of the bedroom antics upstairs must have moved downstairs.

Rising from the Dead

Tom McLaughlin

Banda Aceh, Indonesia – The first wave was about three meters high, more like a tidal surge. Survivors remember it being boiling hot. The second wave climbed 100 meters pushing over five kilometers inland, carrying a 2,600-metric-ton ship on its back. The third was just as high but with cold water, very cold, traveling almost as far the second. It shifted the ship to another location.

Pressure on the Pope

Roy Meachum

The “pope story” sprouted longer legs than I supposed; Easter Sunday it developed a definite hitch in its giddy-up that promises to stretch people’s reactions into Memorial Day, or beyond. And the resulting media attention. It is no longer about sexual abuse; it now has to do with the basic structure of the Roman Catholic Church.

A Dynamic Transformation

We have seen a tremendous sea change in the Board of County Commissioners of late. Much of this is due to the newly appointed Commissioner Blaine Young.

Campaign Diary – On The Road Again…..

Michael Kurtianyk

March 27-29 – Administrivia – One of the things no one tells you about when running a campaign is the balancing act between work, campaign, and family. I had a long list of things I needed to take care of for the campaign – marketing, volunteers, etc., which I’d planned to do Saturday morning.

Yes, We Still Can

Roy Meachum

You may remember Marvel Comics’ Clark Kent, a mild and diffident dude who honed from afar after Lois Lane, a fellow reporter at The Daily Planet. He was totally different after stepping into a phone booth and emerging as Superman. Something like that took place before our very eyes to the present resident of the White House.

Opening Day

Joe Charlebois

On Thursday, April 10, 1980, a 13-year-old boy and his girlfriend were dropped off at a PAT bus stop on Middle Road by their parents. The stop was just 11 miles from their destination – the 10-year-old concrete coliseum called Three Rivers Stadium, the home of the presiding World Series Champion Pittsburgh Pirates. Hope for another Championship started that day.

The Census, Immigration and Other Stories

Patricia A. Kelly

I thought the uproar over the census was right wing ridiculousness, but then I sat down and really read my form.

Another dip into taxpayers’ pockets…

Joan McIntyre

When have you ever seen government get involved in anything and it not cost more money? Obamacare passed with no answers. Next is the local Trashcare bill making its way through the General Assembly.

Not quite what you’d expect…

Derek Shackelford

The sky is falling! The sky is falling! The sky is falling! That is what some would have us to believe. The problem in this is not in reference to the recent passage of the healthcare law. More on that later. No, this inference of the sky is falling has to do with a recent Harris Poll of Republican attitudes toward President Barack Obama.

Roy Meachum

You might think the Vatican’s role in sexual scandals is the result of an eager-beaver press, intent on bringing down the Roman Catholic Church. That is neither true nor necessary.

A New Approach for Frederick County

Nick Diaz

Imagine that you could send your child to a school that reflected your aspirations for your child's education. Imagine not worrying whether your child was adequately challenged in the classroom, and feeling confident that he or she was truly prepared for college and beyond. Now imagine not going into debt to pay for this, since you are already paying taxes to fund this.

The History of Health Insurance – Part 1

Farrell Keough

Many articles and commentaries are floating around about the newly passed healthcare law. It is worth our time to review how we got to this point and what the pitfalls were in the creation of insurance programs in the United States.

A Love Letter

Richard B. Weldon Jr.

If he were still here, I’d ask Tom “Petey” Nuse if it was okay to write a love letter to his wife, Wanda. He’s no longer with us, but I suspect he might grant his approval. My wife won’t mind, either. She has always referred to Wanda as my girlfriend.

Storybook Stunner? Indianapolis Star Prematurely Calls Butler Champ

LOL: Storybook Stunner? Indianapolis Star Prematurely Calls Butler Champ

http://www.mediaite.com/online/storybook-stunner-indianapolis-star-calls-butler-champ-a-tad-early/

by Colby Hall | 8:58 am, April 6th, 2010

Some poor sports editor in Indianapolis isn’t just bummed that his or her local team Butler University came up a tad short last night. He or she is also probably not eager to field a bunch of questions today about prematurely publishing a story on IndyStar.com that claimed that Butler had actually won the national championship. (Oh by the way, Butler lost to Duke.) In other news, “Dewey Defeats Truman!” jokes will be a trending topic in the coming hours.

Air Marshals Stop Alleged 'Shoe Bomb' Attempt On United Jet to Denver

Qatari Diplomat In Custody After Attempting to 'Light Up' His Shoes

By RHONDA SCHWARTZ, RICHARD ESPOSITO, and BRIAN ROSS Apr. 7, 2010

http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/air-marshals-stop-shoe-bomb-attempt-united-jet/story?id=10315314

Federal air marshals subdued a man who authorities say attempted to "light his shoes on fire" on a United flight from Washington Reagan to Denver Wednesday night, federal law enforcement officials told ABC News.

Authorities say an explosive team is on the way to the airport, and that while the presence of explosives has not yet been confirmed, they believe it was an attempted "shoe bomb."

The suspect was identified by authorities as a diplomat in the Qatar embassy in Washington, Mohammed al Modadi. The FBI said the man had full diplomat immunity as the 3rd secretary and vice-consul.

Easter egg hunts, distillery raids signaled spring in Carroll County

Easter egg hunts, distillery raids signaled spring in Carroll County

EAGLE ARCHIVE By Kevin Dayhoff Posted http://www.explorecarroll.com/community/4180/dayhoff/ 4/04/10

Happy Easter.

Easter has always been an opportunity for people to shake off the winter blues and celebrate spring with neighbors, family and friends at community events. Most popular are the community Easter egg hunts throughout Carroll County.

More than 60 years ago, on March 26, 1948, the now-defunct Democratic Advocate carried an article detailing plans for an inaugural celebration hosted by Westminster's Venture Club:

[…]

Speaking of springtime bliss, in other news from about 80 years ago, the community must have been buzzing on this date after reading that, "About 25 men, all from Baltimore ... attempted to raid McGinnis Distillery," in a newspaper account dated March 30, 1923.

April 7, 1922: Westminster And The Recreation Problem

April 7, 1922: Westminster And The Recreation Problem

Westminster And The Recreation Problem

Democratic Advocate, April 7, 1922.

Our fathers did not have recreational centers. Why should we have them now? Our fathers did not have telephones, automobiles, electric lights, rural free delivery of mails, and many other conveniences which we now enjoy.

Shall we dispense with them because they were unknown to the previous generation? We cannot do business as our fathers did. Can we take our recreation as they did? In the early days work and play were combined.

The men of a community would gather for "clearing the new ground," "log rollings," "barn raisings." "harvesting parties" "husking bees," and the like. At the same time the women had their "quilting parties" and did the cooking for the community feast. In the evening there were the community plays. Those days are gone never to return.

Democratic Advocate, April 7, 1922.

Gettysburg College creates new major in Organization and Management Studies

Posted:

Gettysburg College's Department of Management has overhauled its major, which is now called Organization and Management Studies (OMS).

In addition, the department has initiated changes to more closely align the management curriculum with the College's liberal arts focus while better preparing students for the contemporary workplace.

The new OMS major will explore "organizations, how they behave within the context of societal issues, how people in those organizations behave, and how those organizations are managed." Anchored firmly in the social sciences, OMS aims to "reaffirm the liberal arts foundation of the studies of organizations and management."

Prof. Bennett Bruce, department chair and chief architect of the changes, said that OMS was the department's answer to three questions: "How can we contribute to the mission of the College, how can we create something that's great for students, and how can the faculty do something that we're passionate about?"

The major in OMS is intended to give students a solid foundation in organization theory and behavior, statistics, research methods, and systems thinking, while choosing one of two tracks: Organizations and Society or Intra-Organizational Dynamics. Courses cover such topics as organizational culture, social responsibility, ethics, leadership, motivation, gender and diversity within organizations, and organizational change.

OMS replaces a more traditional management major that combined courses in management and business, according to Bruce. The new major, he said, will give students the "intellectual freedom" to dig deeply into some of the most important issues organizations grapple with today, such as sustainability, corporate ethics, and globalization.

Though business courses have been removed from the OMS major, they still have an important role in the Gettysburg curriculum. Students in any major will now be able to add a business-literacy minor to their field of study. The minor includes courses in finance, marketing, accounting, organizational behavior, and economics.

Distinguishing the OMS major from a traditional business major is one of the objectives of the new structure. Critical thinking, rigorous inquiry, and the acquisition of knowledge-instead of just skills-are central to the OMS curriculum, which stresses "intellectual boldness, creative problem solving, entrepreneurial thinking, and the practice of responsible management."

Bruce said the new major will give students "a larger perspective than just how to maximize profit," while also giving them a competitive advantage when they graduate. "Our students will get a good foundation for graduate work. They'll be prepared for cutting-edge work in organizations. And they're likely to be attracted to companies that are doing something innovative."

Founded in 1832, Gettysburg College is a highly selective four-year residential college of liberal arts and sciences with a strong academic tradition that includes Rhodes Scholars, a Nobel laureate and other distinguished scholars among its alumni. The college enrolls 2,600 undergraduate students and is located on a 200-acre campus adjacent to the Gettysburg National Military Park in Pennsylvania.
