Final Frederick County comprehensive plan hearing draws large crowd – Frederick News-Post

Final county land-use public hearing before commissioners debate draws largest turnout February 01, 2012 By Pete McCarthy News-Post Staff

http://www.fredericknewspost.com/sections/news/display_comments.htm?StoryID=131242#postComments

Frederick County saved the biggest group for last Tuesday night, with more than 40 lawyers and residents speaking at a public hearing about the county's proposed comprehensive plan and zoning review.

The public hearing regarding the New Market region was the last scheduled meeting before the Board of County Commissioners begins its review of individual requests for planning and zoning changes. Written comments will continue to be accepted throughout the process.

There are 42 applications up for consideration in the region that includes Mount Airy, New Market and Lake Linganore. If approved, it could lead to the construction of hundreds of homes on 3,600 acres.

"We are concerned with any properties within a mile of our borders," Mount Airy Mayor Patrick Rockinberg said. "Rezoning these properties would be inconsistent with the will of the people."

Building on properties near the town would lead to housing growth that negatively affects roads, schools and the general standard of living, he said.

"(Our residents) came to escape growth," Rockinberg said. "The citizens did not move to Mount Airy for more growth, they moved away from it."

More than a dozen residents stood when resident Sarah Dorrance spoke against the Wimmer property -- an 86-acre property along Sidney Road.

She questioned the motive of the commissioners to revisit the last comprehensive plan a year after it was approved. The plan adopted in 2010 was designed to set planning and zoning guidelines for the county. In most cases, properties went from being zoned for residential or commercial growth to agricultural.

"I'm not happy with the procedure," Dorrance said. "I think it's a waste of taxpayers' money." … http://www.fredericknewspost.com/sections/news/display_comments.htm?StoryID=131242#postComments

Silvio Berlusconi has declared he is “stepping aside” from front-line Italian politics, revealing he has no intention of running again as prime minister.

In his first interview since resigning amid turmoil on financial markets in November, Mr Berlusconi spoke to the Financial Times at his Rome residence on subjects from what he called a media-inspired furore over his “bunga bunga” parties to his anger at “leftwing” magistrates hounding him in the courts and his drive to promote political and judicial reforms.

Mr Berlusconi also gave his strongest endorsement to date of the technocratic government led by Mario Monti which took over from his own, in particular its intention to implement labour market reforms opposed by trade unions.

Silvio Berlusconi ha dichiarato che è "staccato" dalla politica italiana in prima linea, rivelando non ha intenzione di correre di nuovo come primo ministro.

Nella sua prima intervista dopo le dimissioni in mezzo a turbolenze sui mercati finanziari nel mese di novembre, Berlusconi ha parlato al Financial Times nella sua residenza di Roma, su argomenti da ciò che egli chiama un media di ispirazionefurore sopra il suo "bunga bunga" parti per la sua rabbia a "sinistra" magistrati loperseguitare nei tribunali e la sua unità a promuovere riforme politiche e giudiziarie.

Berlusconi ha anche dato il suo forte appoggio alla data del governo tecnocraticoguidato da Mario Monti, che ha sostituito il proprio, in particolare la sua intenzione diattuare le riforme del mercato del lavoro rispetto da parte dei sindacati.

For CIA family, a deadly suicide bombing leads to painful divisions - The Washington Post

Washington Post: For CIA family, a deadly suicide bombing leads to painful divisions

By Ian Shapira, Published: January 28, 2012

The call from the Central Intelligence Agency came on a December afternoon in 2009 while Gary Anderson was skiing with his three children. It’s about your wife, the agency man said.

Standing inside Eagle Rock ski lodge in Pennsylvania, Anderson pleaded for details. The CIA official said simply: Where are you? We’ll meet you.

Anderson suspected dreadful news about Jennifer Matthews, his college sweetheart, his wife of 22 years and a CIA operative on assignment almost 7,000 miles away in Afghanistan. With several hours until the CIA meeting, Anderson and his three children — then 12, 9 and 6 — hit the slopes for one more hour. The father wanted to cling a little longer to normalcy, to a life between before and after.

Finally, the Fredericksburg family got into their silver minivan and headed to a nearby motel. There, in a sterile conference room, CIA officials told Anderson the news: His wife, one of the CIA’s top al-Qaeda experts, had just been killed in an explosion at a base in Khost province, in eastern Afghanistan. There was no mention of a double agent, no indication that six other CIA operatives had died in the deadliest attack on agency personnel in decades.

Anderson, who is commenting publicly on the loss of his wife for the first time, was so stunned that he couldn’t formulate questions, except: Are you sure she’s dead? … http://www.washingtonpost.com/local/for-cia-family-a-deadly-suicide-bombing-leads-to-painful-divisions/2012/01/20/gIQAyJGVYQ_story.html?tid=pm_local_pop

U.S. News - Iconic skier's death points out U.S. health gap

U.S. News - Iconic skier's death points out U.S. health gap: "By Kari Huus, msnbc.com

Since the death of Canadian skier Sarah Burke in January, fans and supporters from around the world have donated over $300,000 – more than enough to cover the massive U.S. medical bill generated by efforts to save her.

The outpouring of grief for Burke and the influx of funds are a tribute to a young woman who was a pioneer and legend in her sport. The need for a fundraiser — to help her grieving family avert bankruptcy — was viewed by some Canadians and U.S. observers as a condemnation of the U.S. health care system.

"The irony is that had the accident occurred in Canada… her care would have been covered because, unlike the U.S., Canada has a system of universal coverage," wrote Wendell Potter, an insurance executive-turned-whistleblower who writes for iWatch at the Center for Public Integrity. "No one in Canada finds themselves in that predicament, nor do they face losing their homes as many Americans do when they become critically ill or suffer an injury..."" ... http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/01/30/10274212-iconic-skiers-death-points-out-us-health-gap

Basket Ball—Dropping in two pointers with regularity, the Blue Ridge College girls' basketball team easily defeated the Westminster High School sextet, 24 to 13 at New Windsor, Friday.

Clever shooting from the floor by Miss Garber and Miss McKinney spelled defeat for the younger lassies, who fought valiantly, but could not cope with the tight defense of the winners.

Miss Myerly found the net for three neat shots from the floor, while Miss Jones was a dead shot at the 15-foot line, making good on four of her five chances.

The winning combination is priming for the next battle, booked for February 1 with the Western Maryland girls at the New Windsor court.

January 25, 1974: Is There A Gasoline Shortage?

Labels: Energy Gasoline, Energy Independence, History 1970s

Community Reporter Editorial - Is There A Gasoline Shortage?— With Congress getting its "back up" at last over the energy crisis, oil companies are being forced to reveal that their storage tanks are overflowing and that they actually have more gasoline on hand than at this time last year.

Yet, through a foolish and totally unfathomable policy of the energy administration, gasoline stations in numbers of localities are being denied the amounts of gasoline that customers need to carry out their normal operations of travel — many times with serious implications to their work and their means of earning a livelihood.

There is every evidence that there is enough gasoline to permit normal operation of these stations, but under the monthly quota established they are prevented from receiving what they need to maintain their businesses.

Just what is back of this ridiculous contrived shortage?

Is it, as some suggest, a political maneuver to take people's attention off the "watergate" mess? Or is it, as seems much more likely, a deliberate attempt to force up prices and give the oil companies larger profits, in order that the government can collect higher taxes from them?

American Sentinel, January 29, 1898: The Hotel Question in Silver Run

Carroll County Maryland History: American Sentinel, January 29, 1898: TheHotel Question in Silver Run

Silver Run Items—The hotel question is again being discussed among the people of our village. There was a new applicant around for signers, but we cannot say at present whether he will succeed in procuring them or not.

There have been no hotels in this place since last May, and since that time every thing has moved along quietly and all appear to be as happy and hearty as they were before the hotels were closed. But it seems that some of those that do feel happy and hearty since the hotels are closed are still not contented.

It is rumored that some of them that fought hard to have the hotels closed last spring are now giving their consent to have them opened again. This may be a false report, which we hope it is, and if it is not, hereafter we cannot judge our good people by their appearance at first sight.

last year it was the Comcast digital cable box hardware upgrade - from hell. It took an enormous amount of time, several false starts and lots of time on the phone with "customer service." Now comes the software upgrade...

Despite his impressive win in South Carolina, the former speaker has too many flaws to make it to the White House. http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2012/01/newt-gingrich-still-cant-win-a-general-election/251815/

"In the wake of his 12-point victory in the GOP South Carolina primary, Newt Gingrich has pierced Mitt Romney's mantle of inevitability, but it's still a long way to the nomination and many senior Republicans are warning that a Gingrich candidacy would mean disaster for the party in November.

The former speaker is trying to appeal to GOP voters who want a conservative candidate from outside Washington, but insiders aren't buying it. "The problem is Newt is neither," one Republican strategist told me. Joe Scarborough -- a member of the GOP Class of '94 who served under Gingrich who now hosts "Morning Joe" on MSNBC -- said on "Meet the Press" Sunday, "He's not a conservative -- he's an opportunist," charging that the self-styled man of the people is trying to use "the politics of grievance."

His rivals are taking aim too." ... http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2012/01/newt-gingrich-still-cant-win-a-general-election/251815/
