Police still looking for lone gunman who robbed Union Bridge 7-11



Police still looking for lone gunman who robbed Union Bridge 7-11

Robber remains at large after taking cash

By Kevin Dayhoff

Posted 6/17/11

The Carroll County Sheriff’s Office is seeking information regarding the identity and location of a lone gunman who remains at large after robbing the 7-11 convenience store in Union Bridge late Tuesday morning.

According to the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office, around 2:20 a.m., sheriff’s deputies responded to a hold-up alarm in the 100-block of Main Street in Union Bridge.

Sheriff’s Office spokesperson, Major Phillip S. Kasten, reports the initial investigation has revealed that “a white male approximately 5’-10” tall wearing a black ‘hoodie,’ white mask, and black gloves entered the store displaying a handgun and demanded money from the cashier.”

No one was hurt in the robbery.

The suspect then fled from the store on foot after taking an undisclosed amount of cash.

The Sheriff’s Office investigation is continuing.  Anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact Detective Corporal Doug Epperson at 410-386-2574, or the toll free anonymous TIPS Hotline at 1-888-399-TIPP (8477).

EAGLE ARCHIVE: League of extraordinary gentlemen (and ladies) marks 75 years of municipal aid

People outside the world of local government may not know it even exists, but the Maryland Municipal League is an important group — it’s a statewide advocacy nonprofit that strengthens the role and capacity of municipal government through research, legislation, technical assistance, training and information for members.
It’s also celebrating a birthday this year — the MML was founded 75 years ago in 1936 by Annapolis Mayor Louis N. Phelps.


Phelps’ idea was to create a clearinghouse to help Maryland municipalities obtain funds from the Work Progress Administration (WPA) — part of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal.


In addition to education and networking, perhaps the MML has been most effective in advocating for municipalities with the Maryland General Assembly.


It may be argued that state budget cuts to municipalities in recent years could have easily caused much more damage to local governments if it had not been for the efforts of the MML working the hallways and offices of Annapolis during the legislative session.


One of the highlights of every summer is the annual MML convention which runs next week, June 26-29.


According to a history of the MML's first 50 years (1936-1986) published in the Maryland Municipal News in September 1986, the MML held its first June convention in 1949...  http://www.explorecarroll.com/community/5492/league-extraordinary-gentlemen-ladies-marks-75-years-municipal-aid/

Montgomery County MD shuts down kids’ lemonade stand, fines parents $500 - Yahoo! News http://yhoo.it/lVFCaS



A more wholesome American scene could hardly be imagined: a bunch of kids selling lemonade on a summer's day.
But local authorities in Montgomery County, Md., saw things differently. They shut down the kids' venture and ended up fining their parents $500.
The Marriott and Augustine kids had set up their stand Thursday right next to the Congressional Country Club in Bethesda, Maryland, where the U.S. Open golf tournament has been taking place--bringing thousands of thirsty fans to the neighborhood. The kids planned to send 50 percent their profits to a charity that fights pediatric cancer.
But a Montgomery County inspector said the children needed a vendors' license to run the stand, according to a report from local TV station WUSA9. And after the stand proprietors allegedly ignored a few warnings, the inspector slammed the kids' parents with a $500 fine.
"Does every kid who sells lemonade now have to register with the county?" Carrie Marriott, the mother of one of the would-be entrepreneurs, asked the inspector.
"Cute little kids making five or ten dollars is a little bit different than making hundreds," replied the inspector. "You've got coolers and coolers here."
"To raise money for pediatric cancer," Marriott replied.

News from The Hill: Administration to end monthly approvals of waivers from health law




News from The Hill:

Obama administration to end monthly approvals of waivers from health law 
By Julian Pecquet
The Obama administration announced Friday it is changing the way it approves waivers to the healthcare reform law.

Instead of approving a new batch of year-long waivers every month, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced that plans have until September 22 to apply for a waiver that will carry through 2013. Starting in 2014, all plans will have to comply with the provisions of the law and the waivers will be moot.

Read the full story here.

Washington Examiner Politics Sat. EXTRA


 Examiner Politics Saturday EXTRA: Weekend breaking news & comment from The Washington Examiner's Beltway Confidential blogger

David Freddoso - No Choice '08: McCain and Obama were both going to get us into more wars
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., spoke yesterday from the Senate floor in support of the unauthorized military action in Libya. McCain argued that, for the sake of national unity, the Congress should pass a resolution approving the use of force, even though President Obama, in clear contravention of the War Powers Act and the Constitution, insists that Congress has no role in approving wars. Read More

Timothy P. Carney - Highway spending is a subsidy for driving
President Obama says he wants to decrease oil imports and stop oil subsidies, yet at the same time, he's subsidizing oil consumption -- by spurring new highway spending. When I tell the story of the oil executive who told me that his biggest subsidy is highway spending, people sometimes tell me this is wrong -- that gas taxes cover the cost of highways. But they don't. Read More

Philip Klein - AARP still playing it both ways on Social SecurityI had been meaning to write a blog post arguing that today's Wall Street Journal report likely overstated its claim that AARP was making a major shift toward  more openness on cutting Social Security benefits, but the group's CEO has beat me to it. Read More

Michael Barone - Gangster Government at Treasury?
If this article by professors at Harvard Law School and Indiana University Business School is correct (hat tip to Paul Caron’s taxprof blog and Glenn Reynolds's Instapundit), the Treasury acted contrary to law when it ruled that post-bankruptcy General Motors could utilize $45 billion in pre-bankruptcy net operating losses to reduce any corporate income taxes it may owe. Read More

Mark Tapscott - Judicial Watch: Tax dollars for La Raza skyrocket after Obama appoints one of its leaders to White House post
Should anybody care when a radical left-wing special interest group gets a big boost in federally funded grants and contracts after one of its most visible leaders is appointed to a key White House job? That's exactly what happened after President Obama appointed Cecilla Munoz, the National Council of La Raza's (NCLR) senior vice president, as his director of inter-governmental affairs, according to an investigation by Judicial Watch. Read More 

Conn Carroll - Pawlenty’s Obamacare problem
Why did T-Paw back off his Obamneycare line at Monday’s debate? Could it be because his own health care proposals are too close to Obamacare for comfort? Earlier this month I noted a striking similarity between the way Obamacare plans to cut Medicare and Pawlenty’s Medicare proposal. Read More

Philip Klein - ATM industry not happy about Obama comments
The Automated Teller Machine industry is not happy about President Obama's comments that the development of ATMs has cost jobs. Here's a sampling of some of the feedback I've been getting. Mike Lee, CEO of the ATM Industry Association, emailed me the following response: Read More
David Freddoso - Redistricting update: New map in Michigan
What you see here is Detroit, the next locus of the redistricting wars. The new congressional map proposed by the Republican-majority state legislature in Michigan achieves the Republicans’ goals – eliminate one Democrat, and shore up all the Republicans. Read More



Operation Fast and Furious should end Holder tenure

Watergate cliches though they are, two questions beg to be asked about the exploding Fast and Furious scandal at the U.S. Department of Justice: What did Attorney General Eric Holder know and when did he know it concerning the underlying concept, operational protocols and legal status of Operation Fast and Furious?

Weiner's woes: No skillz to pay the billz

"There is life after Congress for Anthony Weiner," New York Democratic Rep. Nita Lowey grimly assured reporters on Thursday before his resignation announcement. But Weiner's life has been nothing but Congress. Nothing but government. Nothing but taxpayer-subsidized self-perpetuation. In other words: the life of a pathetic public leech. 

A new paradigm for the Left?

If you compare the Carter malaise with the Obama debt doomsday machine, any GOP 2012 presidential candidate should sail to victory with greater facility than Ronald Reagan did in 1980. But will she or he? I am optimistic but also believe that in making his economic case, the Republican candidate will have different challenges because of the ongoing growth of our welfare state and the attitudes it has ushered in, along with heightened class warfare. 

NLRB assault on Boeing will cost countless jobs

SEATTLE -- It's a cloudy day in Seattle. On the road leaving the airport, one of Boeing's plants stretches out next to the highway, just before the cranes of the port. I am in Seattle to speak to Women of Washington, a nonprofit women's group focusing on public policy issues, on why America isn't creating jobs and what to do about it. 

In praise of the pulchritudinous Michele Bachmann

By: Emmett Tyrrell 
So there are two. Two pulchritudinous ones, that is. Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin are very beautiful, and the feminists tell us, "So what?" Well, they never say "So what?" when an attractive male, usually a Democrat, comes onstage. They call him charismatic. 

Examiner Local Editorial: Bad old days of D.C. government corruption are back

Hard as it is to believe, major scandals involving Mayor Vincent Gray's campaign and transition team are being eclipsed by almost daily revelations of venality and highly questionable judgment by members of the D.C. Council. With six of 13 council members, including the chairman, currently or previously under ethics clouds, D.C.'s hard-won reputation as a professionally managed, modern city has quickly eroded. 

Obama is packing the government with Big Green ideologues

By: Ron Arnold 
President Obama has packed his Cabinet agencies with left-wing ideologues, just like President Roosevelt tried with his 1937 "Supreme Court packing bill." Roosevelt failed, but Obama is still at it. 

States can still push back on Medicaid

States need not stand by and be trampled by Obamacare, when they can use it to their advantage.

United Methodist Church Ordinands called to be 'real world' leaders

Ordinands called to be 'real world' leaders


http://www.bwcumc.org/news/ordinands_called_be_real_world_leaders
Ordination at Lovely Lane
As she knelt at the Service of Ordination beneath the stars painted on the dome of the Lovely Lane UMC, the Rev. Bonnie Scott remembered when she was 15, and attended a similar ordination service of a friend at National Cathedral in Washington, D.C. She had shared a sense of call that stirred within her at that event with her pastor, the Rev. Rod Miller. Bishop Felton May found her on the steps of the cathedral, laid hands on her and prayed with her that May night.
"God is faithful," said Scott as she robed, preparing for the processional that would lead to Bishop John Schol praying over her and commissioning her as an Elder in The United Methodist Church.
Scott, one of the 13 people commissioned as Elders and three commissioned as Deacons, stood among the seven others ordained as Elders and two as Deacons in the Baltimore-Washington Conference May 27.
As the service began, Bishop Forrest Stith explained that "ordination is a gift from God and a response of the individual to God's grace and stirrings of the Holy Spirit."... http://www.bwcumc.org/news/ordinands_called_be_real_world_leaders
