BEST OF BALTIMORE — Investigative Voice named best online news source by Baltimore Magazine

I.V. PACKS ‘A HARD-HITTING WALLOP
IN A TOWN THAT’S GONE SOFTER
ON HARD NEWS,’ MAGAZINE SAYS

Baltimore Magazine, in its Special (August 2010) Issue now on newsstands, has named Investigative Voice the city’s best Online News source.

The magazine’s 35th Annual Best of Baltimore list cites I.V. for “packing a hard-hitting wallop in a town that’s gone softer on hard news in recent years, largely as a result of cuts at The Sun.”

Singled out is I.V.’s coverage of the registered Maryland sex offender in the employ of the city’s Department of Public Works who defrauded Baltimore out of $12,700 in sick and vacation pay while he was serving an 8-month jail sentence for molesting a teenage girl.

After a series of stories by Senior Reporter Stephen Janis... http://www.investigativevoice.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=5060:best-of-baltimore&catid=25:the-project&Itemid=44

REMEMBRANCES

Journalism Legend Daniel Schorr Dies At 93

Schorr, a longtime NPR contributor, broke stories during the Cold War and Watergate that won him numerous awards -- as well as the enmity of presidents. He was 93.


	THE HUMAN EDGE For Humans, Slow And Steady Running Won The Race As humans made the evolutionary trek from the trees to the ground, we evolved to be distance runners, trading speed for endurance. And according to one biologist, this stamina allowed early humans to tire out their prey.


	YOUR HEALTH Healing Honey And The New Queen Bee(keepers) From urban rooftops to suburban ranches, apiaries are hip. As the ranks of backyard beekeepers grow, they're reporting some mysterious and sometimes disturbing behaviors, including the disappearance of whole hives. And what about the honey? Is it really good medicine, or just a sweet treat?


	NATIONAL SECURITY Cyberwarrior Shortage Threatens U.S. Security Analysts estimate there are as few as 1,000 people in the U.S. with the skills needed to defend complex computer systems against attack -- and 20 to 30 times that many are needed. And so the race begins to recruit American cyberwarriors.


	NEW BELIEVERS: A RELIGIOUS REVOLUTION IN CHINA In The Land Of Mao, A Rising Tide Of Christianity An explosion of religious belief has accompanied the last 30 years of economic reform in China -- and some estimates indicate that Christians now outnumber communists. Authorities are struggling with how to control the growth.

Fresh and insightful opinion from Tapscott's Copy Desk, by the Washington Examiner's Editorial Page Editor Mark Tapscott. Got a tip or an oped to place? Send an e-mail to mark.tapscott@gmail.com.

WASHINGTON EXAMINER EDITORIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Toward a more honest discussion of race in America

Examiner Editorial
"The reality is that instead of upholding a colorblind society, the federal government has for decades imposed a multitude of racial preferences throughout the economy, especially in the areas of employment and contracting."

There are no secrets if everyone has a security clearance

Diana West, Examiner Columnist
"Some of my conservative brethren worry that the Post series reveals national security secrets. The question is, with nearly a million people possessing top secret clearance, how many secrets are left to reveal?"

The Fed can't solve every economic problem

Larry Kudlow, Examiner Columnist
"One year into recovery, however, private jobs should be growing much faster and unemployment should be a lot lower. Following a deep recession, economic growth should be closer to 8 percent than 3 percent."

The Washington Post finds waste in government

Mona Charen, Examiner Columnist
"So yes, bravo to the Post. Truly. But why do they tend to notice government waste only when it applies to national security?"

Democrats waging war against the West

Michelle Malkin, Examiner Columnist
"Eighteen months into the Obama administration, the war on the American West is in full swing.The first battlefront: immigration."

Dayhoff: renovation project marks birthplace of McDaniel College home of the Raven’s summer training camp http://tinyurl.com/26zrjll

The old stone home of Fayette Rufus Buell, 1833-1913, where the humble beginnings of what we now know as McDaniel College, is being renovated.

What? Never heard of Buell?

Never knew that McDaniel College can trace its beginning to the stone building that once was the college golf course clubhouse?

Last March, the old stone house, which McDaniel College officials believe was built around 1830, was adopted by the WMC Heritage Society to become a conference facility and an apartment for visiting scholars and lecturers.

"The house, at 205 Pennsylvania Avenue (Westminster), will also serve as the future home of WMC Heritage Society, and as a setting for alumni gatherings and historical displays," according to an article on the college's website.

The WMC Heritage Society was formed in 2004 as "a way for alumni to honor the college's heritage -- Western Maryland College."

As folks around here certainly know, the college was renamed McDaniel College on July 1, 2002. The purpose of the society is to "educate current and future students and faculty on the traditions and history" of the college.

The $300,000 project to renovate Buell's old home is led by society chairman Don Rembert (Class of 1961), and his wife, Judy Ellis ('60), of Reston, Va.

They also, according to the website, helped lead fundraising that supported the publication of the college's history, "Fearless and Bold," by Dr. Jim Lightner ('59), a professor emeritus of mathematics and college historian.
