More than a year has passed since, on a cold Jan. 23, 2007, Isaiah Simmons III, 17, died after being restrained by staff at Bowling Brook Preparatory School in Middleburg.

Mr. Simmons, from Baltimore, had only been at the facility for a couple of weeks -- since Jan. 10, after a court had sent him...

Governors to Focus on Clean Energy, State and Federal Issues

Contact: Jodi Omear, 202-345-6564
Contact: Christopher Cashman, 202-345-4271

WASHINGTON—The nation's governors gather here this weekend to address critical issues including the nation's energy future. Governors also will meet with President Bush, members of the Administration, business executives and other experts for discussions on a host of issues and challenges facing states.

Led by NGA Chair Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty and NGA Vice Chair Pennsylvania Gov. Edward G. Rendell, business sessions at the three-day event will include two major plenaries and meetings of the four NGA standing committees. The NGA Winter Meeting will run from February 23-25, at the J.W. Marriott Hotel.

Gov. Pawlenty's Chair's initiative, Securing a Clean Energy Future, is the primary topic of discussion today. This morning's opening plenary session will present the case for taking immediate action on this important public policy challenge. Pulitzer-Prize winning author and New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman and Jeffrey R. Immelt, chairman of the board and chief operating officer of General Electric Company, will speak at the session.

"Our country has become too dependent on foreign sources of energy, and continuing on a business-as-usual path risks our national security, our economic well-being and our quality of life," Gov. Pawlenty said. "My Chair's initiative, Securing a Clean Energy Future, enlists the efforts of all governors to make our nation a global leader in energy efficiency, clean energy technology, energy research and the use of alternative fuels."

The second plenary session on Monday afternoon, "The Role of Technology and Innovation in Securing a Clean Energy Future," will feature addresses by former CIA Director R. James Woolsey and John Doerr, a partner with Kleiner Perkins Caulfield & Byers. The session will highlight new and current energy technologies as well explore state and private sector roles in fostering energy innovation.

In addition, governors will take part in meetings of each of NGA's four standing committees: Economic Development and Commerce; Education, Early Childhood and Workforce; Health and Human Services; and Natural Resources.

Private "governors-only" sessions, including a meeting with President Bush at the White House, provide governors a venue for sharing their thoughts and views on common challenges. "As governors, we face many similar issues and can learn a great deal from candid dialogue with our colleagues," said Gov. Rendell. "The NGA Winter Meeting provides governors with the opportunity to exchange ideas and engage in thoughtful discussions about shared policy challenges and effective solutions."

The Winter Meeting will close Monday evening with a reception kicking off NGA's centennial celebration at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center.

A Presidents’ Day View

Kevin E. Dayhoff

In the wake of “Super Tuesday” and the “Potomac Primary,” all signs point to a November presidential contest between United States Senators John McCain, of Arizona, and Barack Obama, of Illinois.

Two Good Men Were Defeated

Tom McLaughlin

Wayne T. Gilchrest, of the 1st Congressional District on Maryland’s Eastern Shore, was just tired. I think George Bush and his cronies wore him down to the point that he didn’t care whether he was re-elected or not.

Obama "Tide"

Roy Meachum

A Wisconsin February once cost me a tire chain. Going north of Milwaukee to Green Bay, the links broke and thumped repeatedly against the car until I managed to pull off the road. Forecasters predict the same wintry mess for today's voting.

The Passion of a Lifetime

Nick Diaz

Enough math education for a while, folks. If you’ve been reading my recent contributions to thetentacle.com, you may well conclude that education in general, and mathematics education in particular, is the focus of my existence.

General Assembly Journal 2008 – Volume 2

“Stronger Than I Thought"

Roy Meachum

The words belong to erstwhile congressional candidate Andrew Duck. He said them as I was leaving the Democratic election night party. He was referring, of course, to rival Jennifer Dougherty's showing in early returns.

A New Chapter

Edward Lulie III

Living here in Frederick County for most of our lives means that I am always running into people who know us, and who openly wonder where Beth is. It is somewhat like being a plague carrier; you are always the bearer of bad news; for those that you tell what has happened can have no good response to make; there is not much to say but that it was a tragedy and that Beth will be sorely missed by all who knew her.

The Visit of a Lifetime

Chris Cavey

Last Thursday was a very exciting evening for Maryland Republicans. Our validity as a meaningful primary state was made significant by a visit from the Republican Party’s presumptive nominee, John McCain; but this visit didn’t happen entirely by accident.

Some Background for Stepping Up To The Plate

Joan McIntyre

I’m continuing on the subject of the Frederick County Planning Commission for the moment. One, because I’ll be leaving it soon after 10 years; and, two, because I want to spark interest in others joining.

The McCain Maalox Paradox

Kevin E. Dayhoff

At this point in the Republican 2008 presidential primary campaign Senator John McCain has over three times as many Republican National Convention delegates as former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. Most people have resigned themselves to the fact that Senator McCain is the de-facto Republican nominee.

They Are Coming

Roy Meachum

Sheriff Chuck Jenkins shapes up as the least likely Hitler I can imagine: I know the man. His critics are way off the mark when they say he plans to turn his department into a latter-day Gestapo. It's not in him.

Our Most Important Election Isn’t for President

Farrell Keough

On February 5, your plucky columnist put together a forum at the Urbana Volunteer Fire & Rescue Station for the Board of Education candidates seeking to gain a nomination today for a seek on that body. An impressive array of candidates showed up and spent three hours taking on questions and listening to others.

Political Stupidity Masquerading as Conscience

Activist Frederick County

Great news! The System works. Activism is alive and well and living in Frederick County, Maryland. Where the system fails to work, it is fixing itself; and isn’t that what the system really is?

20080218 New York Times: Celebrating the Semicolon in a Most Unlikely Location

Celebrating the semicolon

February 18, 2008

Since the semicolon is by far, my favorite punctuation mark; I thoroughly enjoyed: “Celebrating the Semicolon in a Most Unlikely Location ,” which appears in the New York Times today. I bet you’ll enjoy the article also.

Celebrating the Semicolon in a Most Unlikely Location

By SAM ROBERTS February 18, 2008

It was nearly hidden on a New York City Transit public service placard exhorting subway riders not to leave their newspaper behind when they get off the train.

“Please put it in a trash can,” riders are reminded. After which Neil Neches, an erudite writer in the transit agency’s marketing and service information department, inserted a semicolon. The rest of the sentence reads, “that’s good news for everyone.”

Semicolon sightings in the city are unusual, period, much less in exhortations drafted by committees of civil servants. In literature and journalism, not to mention in advertising, the semicolon has been largely jettisoned as a pretentious anachronism.

[…]

“When Hemingway killed himself he put a period at the end of his life,” Kurt Vonnegut once said. “Old age is more like a semicolon.”

In terms of punctuation, semicolons signal something New Yorkers rarely do. Frank McCourt, the writer and former English teacher at Stuyvesant High School, describes the semicolon as the yellow traffic light of a “New York sentence.” In response, most New Yorkers accelerate; they don’t pause to contemplate.

[…]

Louis Menand, an English professor at Harvard and a staff writer at The New Yorker, pronounced the subway poster’s use of the semicolon to be “impeccable.”

Lynne Truss, author of “Eats Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation,” called it a “lovely example” of proper punctuation.

Geoffrey Nunberg, a professor of linguistics at the University of California, Berkeley, praised the “burgeoning of punctuational literacy in unlikely places.”

Allan M. Siegal, a longtime arbiter of New York Times style before retiring, opined, “The semicolon is correct, though I’d have used a colon, which I think would be a bit more sophisticated in that sentence.”

[…]

New York City Transit’s unintended agenda notwithstanding, e-mail messages and text-messaging may jeopardize the last vestiges of semicolons. They still live on, though, in emoticons, those graphic emblems of our grins, grimaces and other facial expressions.

The semicolon, befittingly, symbolizes a wink.

20080216 19230216 Lincoln Day Dinner Democratic Advocate

85 years ago in Westminster, Carroll County Maryland: Lincoln Day Dinner

Democratic Advocate, February 16, 1923

The Lincoln dinner held here Monday night under the auspices of the Republican County Central Committee, Theodore F. Brown, Chairman, was attended by 150 representative Republicans, among whom were many ladies, from all sections of the county.

William L. Seabrook was the toastmaster who announced that, although only Republicans were present, the gathering was intended to have no partisan significance, and that those present had assembled for only two purposes—to honor the memory of the greatest American and promote harmony in the party.

The speakers of the evening were Deputy Attorney General Wendell D. Allen and Hon. J. Craig McLanahan. Miss Dorothy Elderdice of Western Maryland College read, "When Lincoln Walks at Midnight," and "Lincoln and Lee;" E. O. Stander of Mansfield, Ohio, sang several solos, and the quartet - J. Smith Billingslea, Edwin M. Gehr, Harry M. Kimmey and Clause T. Kimmey - rendered several selections.

The Westminster orchestra furnished music during the dinner. John H. Cunningham closed the exercises of the evening, near midnight, with words of thanks do the speakers and to the young ladies of the domestic science department of the Westminster High School who, under the direction of their instructress, Miss Crapster, served the dinner.

20080215 19730215 The Carroll Record: The Bowling Brook Story: Benefactor Relied On Trustees' Discretion

This day in history 35 years ago:

The Bowling Brook Story: Benefactor Relied On Trustees' Discretion

The Carroll Record, February 15, 1973

In the legal confrontation last week, Judge Weant denied the petition of James J. Wolfe, a heir of Raymond Richardson, for the removal of the Trustees.

Sweeping aside the legal mask covering the actions of Mr. Wolfe, Judge Weant said, "It seems rather ironic that petitioner Wolfe is complaining that the trustees are attacking the Raymond I. Richardson Foundation while at the same time the petitioner appears to be pursuing a course which, if successful, would in all probability cause the termination of the Raymond I. Richardson Foundation.

In any event, it is the opinion of this court that the matters and facts before us to this date do not establish sufficient grounds, either mandatory or discretionary, to sustain the removal of the trustees and the petition will be denied."

The court, after vindicating Miller Richardson and the other trustees, asked for further evidence showing that the license would be revoked and that Bowling Brook would be closed by the State of Maryland if the admissions policy is not changed.

The Key West Museum of Art & History in the Custom House: The living past in a vibrant future

http://www.kwahs.com/customhouse.htm

Follow a path once traveled by wreckers, pirates, and politicians to South Florida's most important historic building. The Custom House, built in 1891, served as a post office, court house and government center when wrecking made Key West the richest city, per capita, in the U.S. But by the 1930s, the island city was bankrupt. Eventually, the building was boarded up and completely abandoned. Now, after a 9-year, $9 million restoration project, the Key West Art & Historical Society has returned the big red brick building to its former glory.

See folk artist Mario Sanchez's colorful wood paintings of old Key West.

Meet Key West's famous people through portraits by Paul Collins.

Stand in the very room where the U.S. decided to go to war with Spain, following the sinking of the battleship USS Maine.

Learn about Ernest Hemingway's life in Key West, where he wrote many of his most famous novels. See his bloodstained WWI uniform and other personal items that created his legendary status as an adventurer and writer.

Discover how pirates prowled the inlets of the Keys to hide themselves and their loot - and how the Navy rid the local waters of the "Brethren of the Coast.”

Feel the history of Key West come alive in the big red brick building - The "Coolest" Museum in Town!

Who Is Key West? Internationally acclaimed painter Paul Collins displays his modern renditions of Key West's most memorable characters past and present, featuring subjects from Henry Flagler to Mario Sanchez, Fuzzy the Cobbler to Ernest Hemingway and more.

Mario Sanchez - Painter Of Old Key West - 2nd Floor. His detailed depictions of life in Key West during the early 20th Century have made him one of the country's most sought after folk artists. Sanchez' creations are mostly reliefs carved into wood panels and then brightly colored. They reflect street scenes, places and people from his past in amazingly accurate detail and with a profound sense of humor.

Coping With Depression, the WPA in the 1930s - Dogwood Gallery - Exhibit depicts Key West in the '30s through drawings, sketches, intaglio prints, paintings and promotional brochures produced by the artists of the Works Art Project.
