New Windsor's Dielman Inn on list of endangered historic properties

New Windsor's Dielman Inn on list of endangered historic properties

Inn sprang from tavern owned by town founder, but now is in disrepair




A New Windsor tavern turned inn, dating back to the early 19th century, is among the state's "endangered" historical properties, according to Preservation Maryland, a statewide advocacy group.

The Dielman Inn in New Windsor, located at Main and High streets, is described by the group as "a 42-room amalgamation of a number of early 19th century buildings."

The inn has been mostly vacant since 2004, and much of the structure has fallen into disrepair. The Town of New Windsor bought it in early 2011, and is seeking proposals for development. But if no proposals emerge, the town may sell the site, and currently has it on the market.

Dielman Inn is among 10 locations listed on the 2012 Endangered Maryland list of threatened historic properties, released March 15 by the nonprofit Preservation Maryland.


[…]

Other locations on the list include the Pest House, a Cockeysville building that was once a home for people with communicable diseases; Bostwick, a Prince George's County site that was damaged in last year's earthquake; a Silver Spring church that could be leveled to make way for a new house of worship; and "Superblock," a section of Baltimore's west side that the group says has redevelopment threats to its "outstanding collection of historically and culturally significant buildings."

This year's list also names a working class category — "Maryland Watermen" — as being endangered as well due to declining oyster populations… http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/ph-ce-dielman-endangered-0325-20120317,0,5450783.story

When Vampire Squids Become Cannibals – by Kevin Dayhoff – The Tentacle March 21, 2012

March 21, 2012



In case you missed it, last Wednesday Greg Smith, a Goldman Sachs executive, resigned. Actually it was really no big deal, except while he was on his way out the door, he burned his bridges and then strafed the wounded.

Mr. Smith publicly nuked Goldman Sachs in a scathing op-ed article in The New York Times that left many holding their hands up high and shouting “Alleluia.”

Last Wednesday began the same as many of the most recent monotonous mid-week editions of the end of winter blues as our nation’s wounded business and financial community continues to snort and bellow while it tries to extricate itself from an economic tar pit and in the process, try not to pee all over itself anymore than it already has.

The European sovereign debt crisis continues to languish in the markets like a bad hangover and economic public policy, especially unchecked profligate U.S. sovereign spending and debt, continue as troublesome issues. And where there is a financial cesspool, one can count on Goldman Sachs merrily swimming with the rest of the bottom-feeders and leaches.

So, as one may imagine, a headline like “Why I Am Leaving Goldman Sachs,” caught my eye.

Goldman Sachs, the venerable ginormous, intergalactic investment banking, financial services and securities firm has arguably found itself in the caustic crosshairs of public scrutiny more in the past several years than at any other time in its storied history that goes back to 1869… http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=4986

Wendell Potter: Goldman Sach's Greg Smith Could Just Have Easily Been Telling the Truth About Health Insurers

Goldman Sach's Greg Smith Could Just Have Easily Been Telling the Truth About Health Insurers


Wendell Potter 03/19/2012


As I was reading former Wall Street executive Greg Smith's bombshell of an Op-Ed in the New York Times last week, I mentally inserted the names of the big for-profit health insurers -- two of which I worked for -- in place of Goldman Sachs, where Smith worked until resigning on the day his column was published.

Smith wrote that he decided to leave Goldman-Sachs because it had veered so far from the company he had joined straight out of college that he could no longer say in good conscience "that I identify with what it stands for."

He put the blame squarely on Goldman's current CEO and president. It was during their watch, he wrote, that "the firm changed the very way it thought about leadership."

"Leadership used to be about ideas, setting an example and doing the right thing. Today, if you make enough money for the firm (and are not currently an ax murderer) you will be promoted into a position of influence." … http://www.huffingtonpost.com/wendell-potter/goldman-sachs-greg-smith_b_1362755.html?ref=politics&ir=Politics

Roll Call - Lauren W. Whittington: Top 10 Vulnerable: Targets on Their Backs Redistricting Puts Many Members at Risk of Not Seeing 113th


Top 10 Vulnerable: Targets on Their Backs

Redistricting Puts Many Members at Risk of Not Seeing 113th

[...]

Redistricting is still the biggest common denominator for the vulnerable lawmakers who made our cut. ... http://www.rollcall.com/features/Election-Preview_2012/election/-213163-1.html

[...]

Roll Call’s Top 10 Vulnerable Members, in alphabetical order: 

[...]

Roscoe Bartlett (R-Md.)

10th term (61 percent) | Cash on Hand (Dec. 31): $343,000
In all honesty, we didn’t expect Bartlett to seek re-election given his district was redrawn to elect a Democrat. But the 85-year-old lawmaker is running and running hard. That doesn’t change the fundamentals of his new district, which underwent one of the biggest partisan conversions of any seat in the country. It’s possible that all of the ingredients could come together for Bartlett, who faces a primary next month, to pull off a win. But it just doesn’t seem plausible at this point.... http://www.rollcall.com/features/Election-Preview_2012/election/-213163-1.html
