"last time any political convention was held in Cleveland was 1936. The city was the fifth-biggest in the country, and it seemed like the sky was the limit for a town that billed itself as “the Best Location in the Nation.”

It hasn’t all been downhill since, but Cleveland’s taken its lumps as the “Mistake by the Lake.” Now, people here are pretty excited that the Republicans will be holding their presidential convention here in 2016—thought most of us, to be honest, are more interested in the faint prospect that LeBron James will come back to lead the Cavs to glory."

River Valley Ranch Carroll County - Child dies after being struck by falling tree during severe storm

River Valley Ranch Carroll County - Child dies after being struck by falling tree during severe storm

“Child dies after being struck by falling tree during severe storm”

According to a release by the Carroll County Sheriff's Office:

Millers, Carroll County, Maryland; July 8, 2014 ------ Just before 7 pm on Tuesday evening, July 8, 2014, approximately 114 children ages 7 to 12 years old were attending a session at a pavilion on the hill as part of the River Valley Ranch summer camp when a strong storm came through the area.

Upon seeing the impending storm, the camp staff began to move the children to an enclosed building also located on the hill. While moving to the hall, the storm arrived, knocking a tree over, which struck several of the children.

Seven children were transported to area hospitals. Tragically, one of the seven died as a result of the injuries. The other six children are not believed to have life threatening injuries at the time of this press release. An additional two children were treated by emergency medical personnel at the scene.

Parents of children attending the Arrowhead Woods and Fort Roller camps are being notified to pick up their children from the camp. The Frontier Town camp was not damaged by the storm, and the teenagers attending that camp may remain on campus if they choose.

Carroll County Sheriff's Office detectives responded to the scene and are in the process of conducting the investigation into this incident.

News from The Hill: Untamed Cruz refuses to play nice with GOP campaign arm By Cameron Joseph

GOP hopes of corralling Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) during the 2014 primary season are officially dead.

The defiant Republican’s brutal criticism of Sen. Thad Cochran’s (R-Miss.) reelection campaign on Tuesday — and the involvement of a group he is technically a vice chairman of, the National Republican Senatorial Committee — is just the latest example of the Tea Party hero refusing to play nice.

Two Charged After Landing at Base of Prettyboy Dam

Two Charged After Landing at Base of Prettyboy Dam

July 1, 2014 (BALTIMORE, MD) — The Baltimore Environmental Police, a division of the Baltimore City Department of Public Works, today charged two men with one count each of criminal trespass in connection with an incident Sunday, June 29, in which the men, who were kayaking at the Prettyboy Dam in Parkton, sustained injuries.

The men, Paul K. Hare (DOB 7/29/1992) and Stephen D. Sparks (DOB 1/28/1993), both of Northern Baltimore County, were found near the dam at 7:35 p.m. by Baltimore Environmental Police Officer Heidi Greenleaf and the Maryland Line Volunteer Fire and EMS. They were responding to a call for assistance that came in 10 minutes earlier.

Mr. Hare was found with a large head laceration and transported to York General Hospital in Pennsylvania. He was treated and released at 1:30 a.m. on June 30, 2014.

Mr. Sparks was found at the base of the dam with a severe head injury, possible broken bones, and possible internal injuries. A technical rescue was put into place with the help of the Baltimore Environmental Police, the Maryland Line Volunteer Fire Company and EMS, Hereford Volunteer Fire Company, and Baltimore County EMS.

He was put in a stokes basket and carried up the cliffside and stairs at Prettyboy Dam to the awaiting Maryland State Police Aviation Unit and transported to the University of Maryland Shock Trauma Center.

An investigation determined that both men were in a No Trespass zone and had been boating without permits. Alcohol is believed to have been involved.

The rescue operation was completed in approximately two and half hours.

The charge is a misdemeanor that carries a possible sentence of up to 1,000 fine and 1 year in jail. The case is in the jurisdiction of the Towson District Court.
