D.C.’s ‘beyond broken’ criminal-justice system is an outrage
The Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency on
Indiana Avenue in the District. (J. Lawler Duggan/For The Washington Post)
By Editorial Board December
30, 2016
“BEYOND BROKEN.” That characterization by then-D.C. Police
Chief Cathy L. Lanier of the District’s criminal-justice system was
dismissed by some as hyperbole. But the truth of her words has been borne out
in excruciating detail over the past year by Post reporters who have chronicled
how repeat violent offenders are released back into the community, only to
commit new crimes. “Where the hell is the outrage?” asked the departing chief —
a question that, more than ever in light of The Post’s revelations, demands to
be addressed by the city and federal officials responsible for the system.
The failings of the mix of local and federal agencies that
comprise the criminal-justice system in the District have been the subject of
examination in The Post’s ongoing “Second-Chance City” series. Lax enforcement by
key federal agencies and questionable judgments from the D.C. Superior Court
were spotlighted in a case in which the release of an offender resulted in a woman being raped.

The legend of Santa Claus and the nine reindeer by Kevin Dayhoff
The legend of Santa Claus and the nine reindeer by Kevin
Dayhoff Merry Christmas.
The tradition that Santa Claus, or Father Christmas as he is
known in England, traveled through the night in a sleigh pulled by eight
reindeer is thought to be a Scandinavian myth.
We got the ninth reindeer, Rudolf, from the department store,
Montgomery Ward. The character first appeared in a 1939 publication by Robert
L. May, which was marketed by Montgomery Ward. According to many sources,
including a December 25, 2013 story on "Morning Edition," on NPR, the
author considered the name 'Reginald' or 'Rollo,' before settling upon the name
Rudolf...

First snow and ice of the season hits Carroll County
Dec. 17, 2016
We did not enjoy the cold and the snow today as we ran a few
errands. I do not like winter. Dec. 17, 2016
The roads were in fairly good shape this afternoon thanks to
the hard work of the Westminster, Carroll County, and Maryland snow removal
crews. They are rock stars and rank up there with Santa Claus this time of the
year.
However, I imagine all the wet roads are going to turn to
ice this evening. If you do not have to go out, stay home. If you must go out
on the roads, please be safe.
The firefighters, EMS providers, and police work hard to
keep you safe and we want all our men and woman in uniform to go home safe to
their families at the end of the day. Do your part, and make some hot chocolate
and watch the Hallmark channel from the warmth and safety of your living room
couch.

First president racks-up $300,000 in overdue library fines - May 10, 2010 by Kevin Dayhoff
Our nation’s first president may never have told a lie, but
he was not without his faults. http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2010/05/our-nations-first-president-may-not_15.html
First president racks-up $300,000 in overdue library fines. http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2010/05/our-nations-first-president-may-not_15.html
Too funny. Sadly, the links for most of 1,000 stories I
wrote in the Carroll Eagle Section, all its predecessors, the Westminster Eagle
et al; from the years before The Baltimore Sun purchased the Carroll County
Times – are now all dead. Really bums me out.
However, I cross-posted a link to many of the stories on my
websites, kevindayhoff.net and kevindayhoff.org …
I was recently reminded of one of my all-time favorite
stories of my all-time favorite stories in response to a colleague’s (CAMK)
confession on Facebook that she owes the library late-fees. Too funny. Epic… Dec.
14, 2016 / ked. All of you are in good company: First president racks-up
$300,000 in overdue library fines. http://kevindayhoff.blogspot.com/2010/05/our-nations-first-president-may-not_15.html
May 10, 2010 by Kevin Dayhoff
The BBC is reporting that archivists in New York ’s
oldest library have uncovered a surprising borrower with overdue books.
It has been recently revealed that on October 5, 1789, our
nation’s first president, George Washington, borrowed two books from what was
then the only library in Manhattan ,
the New York Society Library.
According to the BBC, on October 5, 1789, a time when New York City was serving as our nation’s capital, President
Washington borrowed the “Law of Nations,” a dissertation on international
relations, and volume 12 of a collection of transcripts of debate transcripts
from Britain 's
House of Commons.
Now this in itself may not be earth-shattering news. However there is a catch. It appears that the books were due a month
later but they were never returned.
At the moment, the overdue fines for this lapse, by the
president who never told a lie, have grown to $300,000.00 in the ensuing 220
years.
The BBC reports that although the library is willing to
excuse the fine from the first president, it does, however, want the books
back. “Sadly for fans of 18th-Century political literature, they appear to have
vanished,” laments the BBC.
Locally, in Carroll County, the first library did not open
until 1863, so that rules-out the opportunity for President Washington to have
any overdue library fines in Carroll County.
Furthermore, the Carroll County Public Library is not aware
of any president who has any overdue library books, according to Gregor Becker,
an information specialist with the local library.

faults Posted 5/10/10 by Carroll Eagle – Updated Dec. 14, 2016 - the link
to the Carroll Eagle is now dead. For a while, the Baltimore Sun picked-up the
stories, but alas, all the links are now dead – the link simply takes you to
the Baltimore Sun…. It was updated in response to a colleague’s (CAMK) confession
on Facebook that she owes the library late-fees. Too funny.
