Bank Transfer Day 
Kevin E. Dayhoff
While everyone was distracted by what Charles Krauthammer delightfully described as, the “Starbucks-sipping, Levi’s-clad, iPhone-clutching protesters (of the Occupy Wall Street movement who) denounce corporate America even as they weep for Steve Jobs, corporate titan, billionaire eight times over…,” a new social uprising term has entered the public discourse.

That was the Depression-era anthem for the times. Written in 1932, that song still resonates loud and clear today, especially among those who find themselves, due to no fault of their own, in a daily struggle for mere survival.
And hard as it may be for the approximate 15 million Americans who are unemployed today (not including those working part-time jobs, or who’ve given up looking for jobs), or for the 46.2 million currently living below the official poverty line of $22,314 for a family of four, to imagine that there were even worst times in our nation’s history... http://westminster.patch.com/blog_posts/blog-brother-can-you-spare-a-dime#comments_list

In losing Ravens' camp, Westminster takes hit in pride and profit

In losing Ravens' camp, Westminster takes hit in pride and profit


Tradition of training camp at college dates to the 1950s Baltimore Colts


By Jon Meoli and Jim Joyner, jmeoli@tribune.com and jjoyner@patuxent.com
December 2, 2011 | 10:34 p.m.
Westminster Mayor Kevin Utz, 54, recalls that when he was a young boy living on Bond Street, he and his brother would ride their bikes several blocks to the Baltimore Colts' training camp at then-Western Maryland College to watch their favorite players up close.
The Colts' camp, held in Westminster from 1953 to 1971, "wasn't as plush" as the camps the Baltimore Ravens have held at the school, now McDaniel College, over the past 15 years, he said.
But those summer days tied Westminster, and all of Carroll County, to Baltimore's football team.
Perhaps that's what hurts so much about the Ravens' decision that they won't be back to McDaniel College in 2012, he said.

"It's almost a 50-year tradition that's being broken," said Utz. "That's the sad part about it." ...

MDGOP Announces Hiring of Executive Director

MDGOP Announces Hiring of Executive Director
http://www.mdgop.org/mdgop-announces-hiring-of-executive-director/

Fri Dec 02 2011


ANNAPOLIS - Chairman of the Maryland Republican Party, Alex X. Mooney, announced the hiring of David A. Ferguson to serve as the next Executive Director of the Maryland GOP.
After a long, exhaustive process which included over 40 applications and 15 interviews, Chairman Mooney and First Vice-Chairman Diana Waterman agreed that Mr. Ferguson was the best choice for this important position.
Currently, David is the principal of Ferguson & Associates, a full-service marketing, advertising and public relations firm headquartered in Fairfax, Virginia and Montgomery, Alabama. Ferguson & Associates works with small businesses, public figures, community and sports organizations, educational institutions, as well as Republican and conservative nonpartisan candidates for public office. He has managed several small businesses under the banner of David Ferguson Enterprises.
At 24, Ferguson was the campaign manager when he led now-Governor, Dr. Robert Bentley's, campaign to a surprise victory in Alabama's 2010 Republican Primary. Since his days as a College Republican, he has managed and worked on campaigns at numerous levels.
Mooney, said, "David's understanding of business management, fundraising, and the political environment makes him the right choice to lead the day-to-day operations of the Maryland GOP. I look forward to serving with David as we go onward as a party united in the mission of winning elections."
Ferguson said, "I am thankful for the new and exciting opportunity to work with the Maryland Republican Party. Despite the challenges we face, I have promised to lead an effective organization that will communicate a conservative vision of lower taxes, fiscal responsibility, and creating the best environment in America to live, work, and raise a family."
Ferguson is replacing interim-Executive Director State Delegate Justin Ready, as he prepares to return to the Maryland Legislature in January. Ready temporarily served in the capacity vacated by Kim Jorns, who now serves as the Executive Director of the Michigan Republican Party.

Eagle Archive: Gridiron beginnings 120 years ago were humble for 'Green Terror'

Eagle Archive: Gridiron beginnings 120 years ago were humble for 'Green Terror'

By Kevin Dayhoff

November 30, 2011

This season has marked the 120th anniversary of the football team at McDaniel College.

According to Dr. James Lightner's history of the college, "Fearless and Bold," the first football season at then-Western Maryland College, in 1891, consisted of five games.

"On October 31, 1891, the first WMC football game was played in Westminster" against Pennsylvania College, now known as Gettysburg College... http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/ph-ce-eagle-archive-1204-20111130,0,4142448.story
