Deaf ROTC Auditor Fights To Join The Army
NORTHRIDGE, Calif. – Keith Nolan spent a decade applying repeatedly to the Army's Reserve Officers Training Corps' program before the deaf man's tenacity paid off and a commander finally let him audit the classes.
Nolan became a top performer in the ROTC program's Bravo Company at California State University at Northridge, and his instructors were so impressed they let him wear a uniform. He was distraught when he turned it back in and said goodbye to the other cadets in May. He could advance no further under the military's current policy that requires cadets pass a hearing test to be commissioned by the Army.

Blair Says Riots Not Symptom of Britain’s Moral Decline
LONDON — Former Prime Minister Tony Blair on Sunday rejected the British government’s claim that this month’s riots were caused by the country’s moral decline, and said talk of “broken Britain” would unfairly tarnish the nation’s reputation.
Prime Minister David Cameron has blamed Britain’s “slow-motion moral collapse” for the riots which raged for four nights in London and other English cities.
Blair wrote in The Observer newspaper that the violence was not caused by social rot, but by “alienated, disaffected youth,” who are found in most developed nations.
Virginia Faces More Borrowing to Cover Unemployment Tab
RICHMOND — Virginia may have finished the last fiscal year with a $545 million surplus, but the state will likely have to borrow an additional $251 million between September and April 2013 to pay back the federal government for loans to its unemployment insurance trust fund — which remains underwater for the second consecutive year.
The status of the trust fund was among the subjects of a meeting Friday of the Virginia General Assembly's Commission on Unemployment Compensation.
The state has borrowed about $568 million from the federal government after the fund, which comes from employer taxes, ran out of money in 2009 due largely to a spike in initial unemployment claims during the nationwide economic recession.

The average charge in Virginia for stomach-stapling and gastric bypass was $32,603 - below the mean for 19 states recently studied by HealthGrades, a national health care ratings organization.
Not surprisingly, the surgery was most expensive in California, where health care providers charged an average of $65,251. In Maryland, the state with the lowest prices, $16,390 could buy a bariatric procedure.

Deadly Airliner Crash in Arctic
OTTAWA — A Boeing 737 crashed in Canada’s high Arctic on Saturday, killing 12 of the 15 people on board, the government transportation agency said.
The plane, owned by First Air, crashed about 1:30 p.m. while approaching Resolute Bay, Nunavut, for a landing, according to the agency, Transport Canada.
Members of a large Canadian military contingent, who were in the area for an Arctic training exercise, rushed to the scene to put out fires and rescue survivors.
CTV, a Canadian broadcaster, reported that two adults and one child were airlifted to a hospital in Iqaluit, Nunavut. One of the adults was reported to be in critical condition.
Because the military intended to stage a mock airliner crash rescue on Monday, investigators were already in the community.
Levin Calls for Integration of Obama Vacation Spot
Although a lot has been said about the timing of President Obama’s vacation to Martha’s Vineyard, not much has been said about the spot itself, other than some criticism about the tone-deafness of a president vacationing at a haven for the well-to-do while so many Americans are struggling financially.
On his Friday radio program, Mark Levin took a look at the racial makeup of the Obama vacation spot and likened it to the left-leaning MSNBC cable news network.
“But what about on Martha’s Vineyard?” Levin said. “I’m just asking. Doesn’t Martha’s Vineyard kind of reflect the racial make-up of the hosts on MSNBC, or as we affectionately call them ‘MSLSD’ because they all seem like they’re on some kind of a drug kick? I’m not saying they are. I’m saying they seem like it.”
Accomack Man Dies in Car Crash
A man died early Saturday morning in a vehicle accident that left his car submerged in a pond on Winterville Road, north of Anns Cove Road, State Police said.
When police arrived to the scene, they discovered a 1973 Plymouth Roadrunnner that had run off to the left side of the road and submerged in a pond, according to State Police Spokeswoman Sgt. Michelle Anaya.
The driver, 48-year-old Lester Wade McMahan of the 24000 block of Savannah Road in Hallwood, died prior to the car being submerged, Anaya said.
Police determined that the car ran off the road, overturned and landed in the pond between 3 and 5 a.m.
A passer by discovered the half-submerged vehicle and called State Police.
Anaya said it is not known if alcohol played a factor in the accident.
Kent Planning Commission Pans PlanMaryland
CHESTERTOWN, MD - The Kent County Planning Commission isn't happy with Gov. Martin O'Malley's "PlanMaryland" and said as much, politely, in a three-page comment letter sent Aug. 4 to the Maryland Department of Planning.
The main bullet points were:
"Growth or lack thereof in several areas of the state is not directly related to sprawl emanating from the Baltimore and Washington corridor ... not all areas of the state are facing rapid growth."
And, "The plan states ... many farmers find selling their land for development is more lucrative than farming. This picture of the farmer waiting to sell out is misleading. ... In our region, few farms are sold, and those sold are generally purchased by other farmers wishing to continue ...."
The letter also noted there are many partners at all levels in land preservation and the section about land preservation does not reflect that reality.
M&T Faces Challenges After Bumpy Transition
The signs in front of the branches still say Wilmington Trust. But not for long.
On Friday, temporary covers will be pulled off, revealing the M&T Bank logo for the first time. After 108 years in business, Wilmington Trust's history as a retail powerhouse in Delaware will end.
For a state that tends to revere its local institutions, it will be another wistful moment, much like the takeover of Happy Harry's by Walgreens. For thousands of customers, it will mean the end of a long relationship, and the beginning of one that carries some uncertainty.
And for rival banks, it will be an opportunity to capitalize on any discontent that may arise.

Direct-Sales Businesses Boom As Economy Lags

Prince, a Severna Park Elementary School teacher and a Tupperware consultant, shows off some of her merchandise. Prince started selling the kitchen accessories to compensate for some of her husband's lost income, but has continued with Tupperware since her husband's return to work.
The Severna Park Elementary teacher held her own Tupperware party and was initially motivated by the promise of free merchandise for party hostesses. Then Prince started thinking that maybe she could start selling the kitchen accessories and compensate for some of her husband's lost income.

Christine O’Donnell Brings Buzz Back to First State
As Christine O'Donnell signed copies of her new book Saturday, people were still buzzing about the failed Senate candidate's headline-grabbing walkout during an interview earlier in the week on CNN.
Supporters approached O'Donnell at a table at the Barnes & Noble at Concord Mall and said she was right to bolt from Piers Morgan's show after he asked the onetime abstinence activist about her views on sex and gay marriage. O'Donnell has called the questions "creepy" and borderline sexual harassment.
"He would have never done that to a male politician," Don Criscuolo, 69, of Wilmington, said after O'Donnell signed his audiobook copy of "Troublemaker."
O'Donnell walked out of Morgan's New York studio Wednesday, 23 minutes into an interview about the book, refusing to answer his questions about whether she supports gay marriage and whether she still thinks masturbation is wrong -- issues she addresses in the book. O'Donnell told Morgan she wanted to talk about fiscal and constitutional issues, instead.

Tripoli – Four strong explosions rocked Tripoli early Sunday amid reports that rebels had cut off crucial supply lines to the capital as clashes raged between forces loyal to Col. Muammar Qaddafi and fighters challenging his long rule.
The blasts were heard shortly after 4:00am local time in the heart of the city as NATO warplanes flew overhead, an AFP journalist said. The targets were not immediately identifiable.

GOVERNOR MARTIN O’MALLEY DELIVERS KEYNOTE ADDRESS AT THE MARYLAND ASSOCIATION OF COUNTIES CONFERENCE
Governor discusses job creation and plan to redirect, rebalance and reconnect
OCEAN CITY, MD (August 20, 2011) – Governor Martin O’Malley today delivered the keynote address at the Maryland Association of Counties (MACO) 2011 Summer Conference. The Governor’s remarks focused on job creation and the need to reconnect, rebalance and redirect in the midst of tough times.
“There's a sense in our country that as a nation we've lost our direction and we need to become redirected. There's a sense that we've lost our balance and we need to rebalance. And there's a sense that we've become disconnected from one another, and from the future we aspire to give to our children,…and we must become reconnected,” said Governor O’Malley. “I want to talk with you about direction, about balance, and about connection. Because in order for Maryland's businesses to create jobs, Maryland's state, county, and municipal governments have to do their jobs. “
Yesterday, the Department of Labor released the July jobs report, demonstrating that even in tough times, Maryland continues to be a leader in job creation. Maryland added 8,100 jobs in July, and Maryland’s private sector added 10,400 jobs. So far this year, Maryland has added nearly 14,000 jobs. The Governor underscored the need to maintain a strong commitment to job creation and retention.
“In all of the many difficult decisions we have to make as a people, job creation must be our number one priority, always. There is nothing more important for a family than a good job with decent wages and decent benefits. Indeed, no government program is as empowering for a family than a job. There are no amount of tax cuts that can substitute for a job. There is no better way to expand opportunity, to grow our economy, and to strengthen and grow the ranks of an increasingly diverse middle class than by creating and saving jobs. And the most important job we create is the next job.”
The O’Malley-Brown Administration has had to make tough decisions over the past five years, cutting $6.8 billion in spending and reducing the size of government. But even in the midst of tough economic times, the Administration has worked to create and save jobs by making modern investments for a modern economy, spurring innovation, cutting red tape to stimulate job growth, supporting small businesses, and developing a world class workforce to compete and win in the new economy.
The Governor touted the need for a balanced approach to move forward in the new economy.
“If our children are going to be winners in this new economy, we need to find the will to balance and move forward at the same time. All three rating agencies have reaffirmed our Triple A bond rating in Maryland. Only eight states in America can say that. They reaffirmed our rating because we've been willing to do what the job- obstructionist, economic saboteurs in Congress has prevented our federal government from doing. And that is, choosing a balanced approach. A balanced approach has gotten Maryland through these past five very difficult years, in better shape than most states -- with a lower unemployment rate than most states.”
But Governor O’Malley cautioned of more tough times ahead.
“I wish I could tell you that the choices we have to make this year will be easier, but they won't. While we do anticipate revenues to exceed original projections in both FY2012 and FY2013, our projected budget shortfall for FY2013 is approximately $1 billion -- even with one of the nation's smallest and leanest state and local government bureaucracies… To move Maryland forward, we have to make more cuts, and at the same time, we have to be open to new revenues.”
“As we make these tough choices, I want you to know that I continue to believe in Truth #3, which is that we're all in this together, and we need to work together in order to move our country forward to the better and more prosperous times that lay ahead. Every county is critically important to the whole. By working together last year with the brave men and women of Maryland law enforcement, together we drove homicide, violent crime, car theft, and property crime down to the lowest rates in Maryland since 1975. It will take the same cooperative effort to reach our potential for creating and saving Maryland jobs. “
“I had the opportunity in May to attend the ribbon cutting in Howard County for the new headquarters of a company called Gantech. Gantech is an IT company, owned by an Hispanic-American, which has created 55 Maryland jobs in the last 18 months alone,…Let’s work together to help more Gantech’s create and save Maryland jobs. We work to create jobs through innovation, to employ the mom who’s taking night classes at Anne Arundel Community College to become certified for a new 21st century cyber security job. We work to spur innovation to put the dad back to work at one of the 800 new jobs we’re creating in Baltimore County because we convinced GM to build their next generation green electric motor not in Mexico, but in Maryland. We create innovation economy jobs to empower our neighbor in Prince George’s County who is training for a new solar construction job through IBEW.”
Governor O’Malley concluded: “Maryland is not an island, we are all a part of a greater nation -- her destiny is ours, her challenges are ours, her future is our future. Her work is our work. There is a lot of noise in our country right now. A lot of things distracting us from what must remain our top priority of creating jobs… Above all, let's never lose sight of the fact, that there is so much more that connects us. That we are all, in fact, going to the same place. There are good and bad consequences that flow from the good and bad choices we make in governing ourselves. We can choose to be bitter about what we've lost. Or we can focus on what we have the ability to do together -- to create jobs, to expand opportunity; to redirect, to rebalance, and to reconnect ourselves to the better economic days and the stronger future we desire for our children.”
The Maryland Association of Counties (MACO) is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that includes representatives from Maryland’s 23 counties and Baltimore City meets holds its annual summer conference in Ocean City, Maryland. During the conference, attendees from every Maryland jurisdiction have an opportunity to attend workshops, policy presentations, and gather with other elected officials to form partnerships and learn about innovations in governance.

Facebook “Like” Button Declared Illegal in Germany
KIEL, Germany – Facebook's famous "Like" button has been declared illegal under Germany's strict privacy laws by data protection officials.
The north Germany state of Schleswig-Holstein demanded that dozens of websites that carry the button linking to the social networking site remove the offending item by the end of September or face a fine of up to €50,000 ($71,935), The Local reported Friday.
Thilo Weichert, of the state's data protection center, said the application allowed Facebook to illegally piece together a profile of web users' habits.
"Facebook can trace every click on a website, how long I'm on it, what I'm interested in," he said.
Palo Alto, Calif.,-based Facebook rejected Weichart's claim and said in a statement that the plug-ins were in full compliance with European laws.
Virginia’s Jobless Rate Up Slightly in July
Virginia lost 47,800 jobs last month, underscoring the slow and uncertain economy in the state and across the nation.
Seven of 11 major industry sectors lost jobs, pushing up the state unemployment rate to 6.1 percent in July from 6.0 percent in June, according to a report released Friday by the Virginia Employment Commission.
"Overall, the report depicts an economy that continues to struggle," said Christine Chmura of Chmura Economics & Analytics in Richmond. "This is a slow recovery. Most major sectors contracted in July."
The slight bump in the seasonally adjusted rate is the first increase in Virginia since the peak rate of 7.2 percent in February 2010.

Union Chief Blasts Budget Cuts
The head of a leading federal employees union said Thursday that budget cuts called for by the White House for federal agencies will have a devastating effect on the economy and could also reduce public services.
John Gage, president of the American Federation of Government Employees, said in a statement that the Office of Management and Budget guidance unveiled this week would translate into lost jobs in a down economy. The administration instructed agencies to plan for their 2013 budget to fall between 5 percent and 10 percent below this year's spending levels.
State House Dome Reveals Secrets During Renovation
It's brilliant and blustery atop the tallest building in Annapolis, a bank of white clouds scudding quickly across the sky. John Greenwalt Lee leans against a temporary railing, gazing down with fondness on the town he calls home.
A few blocks to the northeast, the dome of the Naval Academy Chapel looms far above the street. Lee helped renovate it in 1999, rappelling out a window to apply chemicals to the copper to bring out its historic-looking green.
A little to the west, the spire of St. Anne's Episcopal Church towers above downtown. Lee helped with a structural survey of the building.
In a way, those jobs were just steppingstones to the architectural conservator's current venture: helping restore the wooden dome that has adorned the Maryland State House since 1789.
"I've been working my way up," he says, laughing. "Who wouldn't want to work on the State House? It doesn't get any more historic than this."
Since May, Lee, 61, has been lead consultant to a team of professionals who are removing failing paint, restoring original windows and planning to leave the dome with the sort of protective coat that will keep it safe from the ravages of weather for years to come.

Goodbye Summer, Hello New Taxes?
The legislature's special legislative session in October is supposed to be limited and quick. The to-do list includes approving a new congressional district map for the state, and not much else.
But with Maryland facing a projected $1 billion shortfall, budget debates in Washington putting future federal contributions in question and Wall Street rating agencies re-evaluating the state's creditworthiness, Annapolis leaders could add taxes to the agenda.
Asked about the possibility of an October revenue debate, Gov. Martin O'Malley signaled a degree of openness to the idea.
"We give all sorts of thoughts to all sorts of things," he told reporters this week. "It is very, very fluid."
HISTORICAL COMMENTS BY GEORGE CHEVALLIER 8-20-11
Coming Home
While his years in the lumber camps of South Carolina must have entailed many hardships, my grandfather never said much about them except for the few amusing stories which he related to me.
His next stop was Cincinnati, where he worked for a carriage maker. It was here that he learned many of the skills that carried him through life. One of the most amazing things was how a 19 year old boy could manage to get a photo of himself back to Salisbury without any damage. This photo was made into two post cards. I have both of them. One was sent to my grandmother before they were married. The card, sent in 1908, was addressed to Josephine Kelly, 200 Second St., Salisbury, Md.
I went to look for this house and figured it was on the corner of Second and Pearl. There is nothing there now, so I figured that time had claimed another milestone in my life. Then I came across a book issued by the City of Salisbury in October, 1952. The City decided to renumber all the streets in Salisbury. This book gave all the old numbers with the corresponding new numbers. This has proved to be an invaluable tool in researching any address in Salisbury prior to October, 1952. The new address was 134 Second St. and there is a house on it. Verification of it being the same house was made through the comparison with a photo I have of her sister standing on the front porch in 1906. The post card he sent to her was cut into an oval and framed to be cherished her entire life, for it was always displayed prominently in their house. The other resides in my post card collection. As you can see by the photo of the card, he really dressed up to have his picture taken. He had also not started growing his moustache yet (or he wasn’t old enough to grow a decent one).
From Cincinnati, he went to Minnesota where he found work in the wheat fields. While there he became enamored of a certain young lady who was the owner’s daughter on the farm where he worked. I do know that he slept in the hayloft in the barn. Her parents never thought he was good enough for their daughter. He didn’t have any money and he didn’t have any land. So he returned to Salisbury in 1910 with hopes that he could make enough with his newfound skills to impress them when he returned. However, as my grandmother told me years later, when he returned she “set her little cap for him” and he never again moved away from Salisbury.
(This is part 6 of a 7 part story of my grandfather’s life – part 7 next week)
O’Malley Faces Tough Sell on Land Development Issues
OCEAN CITY, MD - Gov. Martin O'Malley's broad strategy to revamp land development rules across Maryland met harsh criticism Friday, as local officials worried that the governor's proposal would interfere with their ability to plan and pay for schools, roads and housing.
In a discussion with local leaders at a Maryland Association of Counties conference, the Democratic governor sought to sell his new program, which has been in the works for three years. He said it would protect farms and woodlands, and would designate targeted growth areas — saving the state billions by concentrating development in areas already served by roads, sewers and other infrastructure. Localities that don't comply could lose crucial school construction, road and wastewater funding.
"This is not a straitjacket," O'Malley told reporters. "This is not a law that prohibits counties from making stupid decisions. But we're not going to subsidize it anymore."
But some local officials criticized the proposal in what was at times a testy exchange with the governor. They complained that the plan to link local aid to compliance with statewide goals would take authority away from localities, which typically control what can be built and what should be protected within their bounds.
Four Year Timeline for Prison Solar Farm
HAGERSTOWN, MD — A solar power developer is agreeing to a four-year deadline for erecting 100,000 solar panels at a state prison complex near Hagerstown.
The Maryland Public Service Commission released on Friday a set of conditions set by various state agencies for the 20-megawatt project proposed by Easton-based Maryland Solar LLC.
The conditions are part of a settlement agreement the company announced Thursday in its quest for state certification.
Construction must begin within three years of permitting and be operational within four years.
Maryland Solar has said it hopes to start construction this year to be eligible for a federal tax credit.
The project would be on 250 acres now used for farming. It would be Maryland's largest solar array.
A Solution for Homlessness?
Amidst the din surrounding the global economic meltdown, Americans might be excused if we haven’t paid too much attention to the youthful rioters roiling London and other British cities.
Still only a fool would shrug their shoulders at the images of a new blitz brought on not by high-flying bombers but text- messaging thugs making a mockery of British Police.
The pundits and talking heads from the U.K. I've heard recently offering explanations for the riots generally fall into two camps: the unrest is either “mindless violence” or “social injustice.”
There are the inevitable calls for:
A) A get-tough memo to the police to get back control of the streets and restore England’s suddenly –tarnished image ahead of next year’s Olympic Games or...
B) More social programs and employment opportunities for the underclass.
All these measures actually make a lot of sense, yet there is an underlying feeling that at the end of the day the key to society’s challenges on both sides of ‘the Pond’ does not always lie with more government intervention.
Indeed, British Prime Minister David Cameron summed up the fears and frustrations of many when he asked;
"Do we have the determination to confront the slow-motion moral collapse that has taken place in parts of our country these past few generations? Irresponsibility. Selfishness. Behaving as if your choices have no consequences... Reward without effort.”
So how do we begin to fix what’s broken?
Mardela Election in Jeopardy
MARDELA SPRINGS, MD – It’s not often that elections are declared invalid and candidates given a “do-over”. Residents of Mardela Springs could witness such an event. Requiring candidates to be property owners and town residents for at least two years may force town officials to invalidate the town’s August 1st election and hold another.
DE State Police Sergeant Pleads Guilty to Harrassment
A 36-year-old Delaware State Police trooper has pleaded guilty to harassment and other charges.
Ryan J. Mitchell of Frankford also pleaded guilty Aug. 17 to misuse of a computer in connection with unwanted and unsolicited contact with a Sussex County woman. He was sentenced to two years in jail, suspended for supervised probation by Superior Court Judge Richard F. Stokes.
State police initiated a criminal investigation after receiving a stalking complaint April 5. Mitchell was arrested April 8 and was suspended without pay.
MD DREAM Act Opponents Cry Foul Over Fed’s Latest Immigration Decision
A federal decision that lets illegal immigrants without a criminal record stay in the country and apply for a work permit has won support from a state immigrant advocacy group.
Meanwhile Republicans, including state Del. Nic Kipke, R-Pasadena, who led the signature drive in Anne Arundel County to put the DREAM Act on the ballot, are balking at the change.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano announced Thursday that the department will focus on deporting illegal immigrants who are criminals or pose a threat to national security or public safety.
Bank of America Expects 3,500 Job Cuts
Bank of America Chief Executive Officer Brian T. Moynihan told his managers this week that they should expect 3,500 job cuts this quarter, with some employees already informed of the firings.
The cuts are in addition to 2,500 reductions made this year, Moynihan said in a memo to staff Thursday. The cuts aren't part of the firm's expense-trimming effort called Project New BAC, according to the document.
Anonymous sources quoted in the Wall Street Journal said that Wilmington's credit card division could be included in upcoming layoffs. Bank of America spokeswoman Betty Riess said the bank does not detail layoffs by line of business or geographic location.
Moynihan is under pressure to reduce spending at the bank, whose market value has plunged by almost half this year, as costs tied to the 2008 takeover of subprime lender Countrywide Financial Corporation mount and revenue shrinks amid signs of a U.S. slowdown. He has booked about $30 billion in charges on housing-related liabilities since taking over at the start of 2010.
Grant Will Fund Lewes Byway Plan
LEWES, DE — Lewes will receive more than $99,000 for development of a corridor management plan for the city’s scenic and historic byway.
The money is part of a $1.3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation to the Delaware Department of Transportation.
The funds will be used to assist with construction, safety improvements and planning assistance along Delaware highways.
U.S. Sens. Tom Carper and Chris Coons and Rep. John Carney announced the $1.3 grant award Aug. 19.
“These grants will promote innovative new practices that will help improve the experience of those traveling on Delaware’s roads and scenic byways,” Sen. Carper said.
In April 2009 the Lewes Scenic and Historic Byway Committee submitted a $120,000 grant request to fund its corridor management plan.
White House Faces Political Dilemma on Health Law Challenge
The Obama administration now faces a key legal and political dilemma -- what to do about the recent decision from a federal appeals court that said the new law's mandate that every uninsured American must buy health insurance is unconstitutional.
Many political analysts think the White House will try to delay Supreme Court consideration as long as possible.
"They definitely don't want to see it go to the Supreme Court until after the elections,” said Kirsten Powers, a former Democratic operative and a Fox News analyst. “So my expectation is they would do whatever they can to slow walk this so that this does not get to the Supreme Court where possibly the individual mandate could be struck down which would be very damaging for the administration."
