Does the NFL have a women problem? - The Washington Post:
"The NFL sent a message with its latest disciplinary move, suspending
Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice because of a domestic incident that it
deems to be a violation of its personal conduct policy. Unfortunately, the
recipients of Commissioner Roger Goodell’s message are women. Rice was
suspended the first two games of the season after a February incident in which
he allegedly knocked his then-fiancée unconscious in the elevator of an
Atlantic City casino.

The suspension sparked an instant and heated debate over how

It particularly resonated poorly with women, sending the

"This week, a 26-year-old man died on a Northern California beach.
Adam Jay Pye wasn’t caught in a rip current or attacked by a great white in the Pacific, though. He was digging in the sand, tunneling down deep, when the hole collapsed around him.
“The sand had just engulfed this young man — he was standing up straight, like a soldier with his hands to his sides,” one witness to the rescue effort told the San Jose Mercury News. “He was buried alive. He was buried alive in that hole that he dug.”
Accidents like Pye’s happen a lot more often than you’d think. A few examples"

When a customer service call is described as "Kafkaesque" and "hellish," you pretty much know how it's going to go down before even taking a listen. But in case you haven't heard the condescending, tedious call that's lit up the Internet, here it is:
The recording starts after the call has already been in progress for about 10 minutes, according to the caption on SoundCloud by Ryan Block, who was trying to cancel his Comcast Internet service. Block writes:

In new book UC Berkeley historian Waldo E. Martin, Jr. takes Black Panther Party's point of view
In new book UC Berkeley historian Waldo E. Martin, Jr. takes Black Panther Party's point of view by Ron Briley http://hnn.us/article/156406
The Black Panther Party (BPP) is a growing topic of interest for scholars with numerous dissertations being produced on various party programs and local activities, but in Black Against Empire, Joshua Bloom, a Fellow at the Ralph J. Bunche Center at UCLA, and Waldo E. Martin, Jr., Professor of History at the University of California Berkeley, seek to provide a synthesis of Panther political history—focusing upon the meteoric rise and fall of the BPP between 1967 and 1972.

This is a well written narrative and analytical history that does not overwhelm the reader with theoretical references, but it is also a book that may antagonize some readers with its sympathetic portrayal of the BPP and its revolutionary ideology.
Essentially, Bloom and Martin write their history from the perspective of the BPP, relying upon oral histories of the party as well as a close reading of the party newspaper, The Black Panther. The authors also devote considerable attention to the turbulent historical context in which the Panthers rapidly grew and declined. . http://hnn.us/article/156406

There is a new word in the French language: La mannschaft. Spiegel: What Is Wrong with the Grand Nation?
A TOUR OF FRANCE
What Is Wrong with the Grand Nation?
The TV images of the Tour de France show an idyllic country, but behind the gloss is a nation where fears of decline are prompting people to vote for the far right. A trip along the route of the world's most famous cycling race reveals the deep uncertainty ailing the French.
http://www.spiegel.de/international/europe/taking-stock-of-a-france-that-has-fallen-sick-a-982106.html#ref=nl-international
There is a new word in the French language: La mannschaft. It's the term used to define everything that is enviable on the opposite bank of the Rhine River -- in other words, Germany's success. It's a success that is the product of the collective and is free of any of the egocentrics, self-deluded, bling-bling divas and "general director presidents," as the heads of French companies are called, that can make France so stuffy.
A week ago Monday, on Bastille Day, newspapers across France sighed that it wouldn't hurt if the country were a bit more like la mannschaft. Instead, unemployment is twice as high as it is in Germany, growth and investments have fallen far and former President Nicolas Sarkozy was recently detained for questioning by police at dawn. La mannschaft is the polar opposite of the other word currently in fashion in France: le malaise. A deep gloom appears to have taken hold in France. A recent survey showed that two-thirds of the French are "pessimistic" about their country's future.
"Viewed from the outside, France under François Hollande is like Cuba, only without the sun but with the extreme right," the newsweekly Le Point recently wrote. The country is "impoverished, over-indebted, divided, humbled and humiliated and finds itself in a pre-revolutionary situation in which anything seems possible."

Recreation in Westminster always a hot topic during summer [Column]
Recreation in Westminster always a hot topic during summer [Column]

The City of Westminster and Carroll County's Department of Recreation and Parks have joined the National Recreation and Parks Association in celebrating National Recreation and Parks Month.
According to NRPA.org, the theme for this year's month-long celebration is "OUT is IN."
On April 7, 1922, the Democratic Advocate published an editorial about "Westminster and the recreation problem."
"Our fathers did not have recreational centers. Why should we have them now? Our fathers did not have telephones, automobiles, electric lights, rural free delivery of mails, and many other conveniences which we now enjoy. Shall we dispense with them because they were unknown to the previous generation?
"We cannot do business as our fathers did. Can we take our recreation as they did? In the early days work and play were combined. The men of a community would gather for 'clearing the new ground,' 'log rollings,' 'barn raisings.' 'harvesting parties' 'husking bees,' and the like.
"At the same time the women had their 'quilting parties' and did the cooking for the community feast. In the evening there were the community plays. Those days are gone never to return." ....

"Prevent medical bills from spoiling credit
By Liz Weston • Bankrate.com
Medical bills that wind up in collections hurt your credit scores more than they should.
That was the conclusion the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau reached after studying 5 million credit reports. The federal regulator tracked how well credit scores predicted people's future creditworthiness after medical bills showed up on their reports.
The answer: Not that well. The CFPB says people with medical collections generally paid their other obligations on par with those whose credit scores were 10 points higher. And those who paid off their medical collections should have received scores 16 to 22 points higher on average."

In 1764 William Winchester developed a plan to sell
forty-five lots along “King Street” on a sixteen-acre portion of the northern
end of “White’s level” on the main road to Baltimore Town. The “piece of
ground” was to be called “Westminster.” Come celebrate the 250th

Water shut-offs are hate crimes: Netroots Nation progressives protest in Detroit.
Water shut-offs are hate crimes: Netroots Nation progressives protest in Detroit.:
By David Weigel
"DETROIT—One of the truly great things about Netroots Nation is the annual move to a brand-new city. Only Las Vegas has hosted two of these conventions. Every other year, the circus tents have plunked into a union-friendly state (Michigan was until fairly recently) and been flavored by the local progressive movement. Last year Northern California, this year Michigan.
I think that adds to the thick aura of populism. After listening to Rep. Elizabeth Warren, Rep. Gary Peters, and Mark Ruffalo (an anti-fracking campaigner, if you didn't know), anyone who was so moved could join the National Nurses United in a protest of the city shutting off water for people who hadn't paid their water bills.

Killing of Palestinian Youth Puts an Israeli Focus on Extremism - NYTimes.com
Killing of Palestinian Youth Puts an Israeli Focus on Extremism - NYTimes.com: "By STEVEN ERLANGER JULY 10, 2014"

JERUSALEM — Even as the Israeli public offers strong support for airstrikes on Hamas fighters and their weapons stocks in Gaza, there is a good deal of reflection over the coldblooded killing of a Palestinian teenager that helped lead to the latest increase in violence.
Brutality against innocents is not new on either side of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. But, despite a court order that bans the disclosure of information in the case, Israelis have been discussing links between the suspects arrested in the killing of the teenager, Muhammad Abu Khdeir, and Israeli right-wing extremist groups that have at times operated with impunity.
Very little about the six suspects has been confirmed, because of the court order. But several Israeli media outlets have linked them to extremist groups, describing them as “shababnikkim,” pejorative Hebrew slang for right-wing extremist youth from ultra-Orthodox homes on the fringes of Orthodox society...

Thousands of Maryland drivers get only days' notice to renew registration
Thousands of Maryland drivers get only days' notice to renew
registration
Agency says high-capacity mailer failed, delaying reminders
By Kevin Rector, The Baltimore Sun
July 8, 2014 - See more at: http://www.carrollcountytimes.com/search/bs-md-mva-notice-delay-20140708,0,6408712.story
When Jim Maguire returned to his Pikesville home recently
after a week out of town, he found a reminder from the Maryland Motor Vehicle
Administration to renew the registration on his car waiting in the pile of
mail.
"I was just going to set it aside and look at it in
another month," the longtime Marylander said. "I just assumed it
didn't apply to me immediately."
Luckily he didn't, because it did.
Maguire, 53, was one of thousands of Marylanders who were
sent notices to renew their vehicle registrations days before their tags were
due to expire. Ordinarily, the Motor Vehicle Administration sends such notices
between 45 and 60 days before expiration.
A spokesman for the agency blamed a problem with a
high-capacity mailer, a machine it uses to send out the notices. - See more at:
