Martin Joseph O'Malley (born January 18, 1963) is an American politician who was the 61st Governor of Maryland from 2007 to 2015. Prior to being elected as governor, he served as the Mayor of Baltimore from 1999 to 2007 and was a Baltimore City Councilor from 1991 to 1999.
O'Malley served as the chair of the Democratic Governors Association from 2011 to 2013, while being governor of Maryland. Following his departure from public office in early 2015, he was appointed to the Johns Hopkins University's Carey Business School as a visiting professor focusing on government, business, and urban issues.
As governor, in 2011, he signed a law that would make illegal immigrants brought to the United States as children eligible for in-state college tuition, and in 2012, he signed a law to legalize same-sex marriage in Maryland. Each law was put to a voter referendum in the 2012 general election and upheld by a majority of the voting public.
O'Malley publicly announced his candidacy in the 2016 presidential election on May 30, 2015, in Baltimore, Maryland, and filed his candidacy form seeking the Democratic Party nomination with the Federal Election Commission on May 29, 2015. He struggled to attract significant support, and on February 1, 2016, he suspended his campaign after finishing third in the Iowa caucus.
On May 5, 2016 it was announced that O'Malley joined the MetroLab Network as Chairman of the Advisory Committee and Senior Fellow.[1] O'Malley later joined Georgetown University as a fellow of the Institute of Politics and Public Service.[2]

Early life and education[edit]
Martin O'Malley was born on January 18, 1963, in Washington, D.C.,[3] the child of Barbara (née Suelzer) and Thomas Martin O'Malley.[4] Martin's father served as a bombardier in the U.S. Army Air Force in the Pacific theater during the Second World War, and said he witnessed the mushroom cloud rise over Hiroshima while on a routine mission.[4] Thomas later became a Montgomery County-based criminal defense lawyer, and an assistant United States Attorney for the District of Columbia. O'Malley's father was of Irish descent and his mother has Irish, German, Dutch, and Scottish ancestry.[5][6][7][8] He is a descendant of a War of 1812 veteran, and is an active member of the General Society of the War of 1812.
O'Malley attended the Our Lady of Lourdes School in Bethesda and Gonzaga College High School.[9] He went on to The Catholic University of America, graduating in 1985. Later that year he enrolled at the School of Law of the University of Maryland, Baltimore, earning his Juris Doctor in 1988 and passing the bar that same year.[10]
Early political career[edit]
In December 1982, while still in college, O'Malley joined the Gary Hart presidential campaign for the 1984 election. In late 1983, he volunteered to go to Iowa where he phone-banked, organized volunteers, and played guitar and sang at small fundraisers and other events.[11] In 1986, while in law school, O'Malley was named by Congresswoman Barbara Mikulski as her state field director for her successful primary and general election campaigns for the U.S. Senate. Later he served as a legislative fellow in Mikulski's office from 1987 to 1988. In 1988, O'Malley was hired as an assistant State's Attorney for the City of Baltimore, holding that position until 1990.[10]
In 1990, O'Malley ran for the Maryland State Senate in Maryland's 43rd Senate District. He challenged one-term incumbent John A. Pica in the Democratic primary and lost by just 44 votes.[12][13] O'Malley was considered an underdog when he first filed to run but "came out of nowhere" to lead Pica on election night. O'Malley eventually lost the race when absentee ballots were counted.[14] In 1991, he was elected to the Baltimore City Council to represent the 3rd District and served from 1991 to 1999. As Councilman, he served as Chairman of the Legislative Investigations Committee and Chairman of the Taxation and Finance Committee.[15] During the 1992 Democratic primaries, O'Malley served as Bob Kerrey's Maryland coordinator.[16]
Mayor of Baltimore[edit]
O'Malley announced his decision to run for Mayor of Baltimore in 1999, after incumbent Kurt Schmoke decided not to seek re-election.[17] O'Malley's entrance into the race was greatly unexpected,[18] and he faced initial difficulties, being the only caucasian candidate for mayor of a city which is predominantly African-American.[19] O'Malley's strongest opponents in the crowded Democratic primary of seven were former City Councilman Carl Stokes, Baltimore Register of Wills Mary Conaway, and Council President Lawrence Bell.[20] In his campaign, O'Malley focused on reducing crime, and received the endorsement of several key African-American lawmakers and church leaders, as well as that of former Mayor of Baltimore and Maryland governor, William Donald Schaefer.[21] On September 14, O'Malley won the Democratic primary with 53%.[22] O'Malley went on to win the general election with 90% of the vote, defeating Republican nominee David Tufaro.[23][24]
In 2003, O'Malley ran for re-election. He was challenged in the Democratic primary by four candidates, but defeated them with 67% of the vote.[25] In the general election, he won re-election with 87% of the vote.[26]
During his first mayoral campaign, O'Malley focused on a message of reducing crime. In his first year in office, O'Malley adopted a statistics-based tracking system called CitiStat, modeled after Compstat, a crime management program first employed in the mid-1990s in New York City. The system logged every call for service in to a database for analysis. The Washington Post wrote in 2006 that Baltimore's "homicide rate remains stubbornly high and its public school test scores disappointingly low. But CitiStat has saved an estimated $350 million and helped generate the city's first budget surplus in years."[27] In 2004, CitiStat accountability tool won Harvard University's "Innovations in American Government" award.[28] The system garnered interest from Washington, D.C., Mayor Adrian Fenty[27] as well as crime officials from Britain.[29]
O'Malley spoke at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, arguing that 2004 Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry was a better choice on homeland security than President George W. Bush.[30]
While running for governor in 2006, O'Malley said violent crime in Baltimore declined 37% while he was mayor. That statistic came from an audit of crime that used questionable methodology and became the subject of controversy; O'Malley was accused by both his Democratic primary opponent Doug Duncan and his Republican opponent Gov. Bob Ehrlich of manipulating statistics to make false claims. The Washington Post wrote at the time that "no evidence has surfaced of a systemic manipulation of crime statistics," but that "there is no quick or definitive way for O'Malley to prove his numbers are right."[31]
In early 2005, Maryland Governor Robert Ehrlich fired aide Joseph Steffen for spreading rumors of marital infidelity about O'Malley on the Internet. O'Malley and his wife had previously held a highly publicized press conference to deny the rumors and accuse Republicans of partisan politics. The discussions in which Steffen posted the rumors were initiated by an anonymous user going by the name "MD4Bush", later revealed to be Maryland Democratic Party official Ryan O'Doherty.[32]
During a 2005 conference at the National Press Club, where mayors from across the US gathered to denounce President George W. Bush's proposed budget, O'Malley compared the budget to the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In his speech, O'Malley said: "Back on September 11, terrorists attacked our metropolitan cores, two of America's great cities. They did that because they knew that was where they could do the most damage and weaken us the most, years later, we are given a budget proposal by our commander in chief... And with a budget ax, he is attacking America's cities. He is attacking our metropolitan core." O'Malley was criticized by Republicans and fellow Democrats for his statement, but in an interview later said he "in no way intended to equate these budget cuts, however bad, to a terrorist attack."[33]
Media attention[edit]
In 2002, at the age of 39, O'Malley was named "The Best Young Mayor in the Country" by Esquire, and in 2005, TIME magazine named him one of America's "Top 5 Big City Mayors".[34] In August 2005, Business Week Magazine Online named O'Malley as one of five "new stars" in the Democratic Party, along with future US President Barack Obama, future US Senator Mark Warner, future US Interior Secretary Ken Salazar, and future Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel. Business Week said that O'Malley "has become the Party's go-to guy on protecting the homeland.[35] The telegenic Mayor has developed a detailed plan for rail and port safety and has been an outspoken critic of White House security priorities."[35]
Governor of Maryland[edit]
O'Malley considered a run for governor in 2002, but decided not to run; in October 2005, after much speculation, O'Malley officially announced he would run in 2006.[36] He had one primary opponent, Montgomery County Executive Doug Duncan. In June 2006, Duncan abruptly dropped out a few days after being diagnosed with clinical depression, and endorsed O'Malley.[37] O'Malley was thus nominated by the Democratic Party, unopposed on the primary ballot, to challenge incumbent Bob Ehrlich in the November 2006 election. O'Malley selected Delegate Anthony G. Brown as his running mate.[38]
The Baltimore Sun endorsed O'Malley, saying: "When he was first elected mayor in 1999, the former two-term city councilman inherited a city of rising crime, failing schools, and shrinking economic prospects. He was able to reverse course in all of these areas."[39] The Washington Post endorsed his opponent, but noted that O'Malley, while "not solv[ing] the problems of rampant crime and rough schools in Baltimore," had "put a dent in them," while criticizing his gubernatorial campaign for being too focused on Baltimore and offering "little of substance" on Washington-area issues.[40] The Washington Times opined that O'Malley, along with the Maryland General Assembly, had moved too far to the left.[41] O'Malley led by margins of several points in most polls during the campaign, but polls tightened significantly in the last week of the campaign. O'Malley ultimately defeated Ehrlich 53%–46% in the November 7, 2006, general election.[42]
Major land developer Edward St. John was fined $55,000 by the Maryland Office of the State Prosecutor for making illegal contributions to the 2006 O'Malley gubernatorial campaign. The Washington Times reported later that the Governor's administration had issued a press release touting a new $28-million highway interchange leading from Interstate 795 to one of St. John's properties. Governor O'Malley's spokesman said there was no "quid pro quo" and a spokesman for the County Executive said the project had been a county transportation priority since before both O'Malley and the executive were elected.[43]
In 2010, O'Malley announced his intention to run for re-election, while Ehrlich announced he would also run, setting up a rematch of 2006. His future rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, Hillary Clinton, said in a private email at the time that "he should be reelected by acclamation for steering the ship of state so well."[44] Despite major losses for Democrats nationwide, O'Malley defeated Ehrlich 56%–42%, receiving just over one million votes.[45] Due to term limits, O'Malley was unable to run for re-election in 2014.
First term[edit]
O'Malley called a special session of the General Assembly in November 2007 to close a projected budget deficit of $1.7 billion for 2008–2009.[46] In response, O'Malley and other lawmakers passed a tax plan that would raise total state tax collections by 14%.[47] In April 2009, O'Malley signed a traffic speed camera enforcement law, a bill which he supported and fought for in order to help raise revenue to try to balance the deficit facing Maryland. Through strong lobbying by O'Malley, the bill was revived after first having been defeated. After a second vote, the measure passed.[48]
Maryland StateStat[edit]
One of O'Malley's first actions as governor was to implement the same CitiStat system he used to manage Baltimore City on a statewide level. Maryland StateStat began in 2007 with a few public safety and human services agencies. By 2014, over 20 agencies were engaged in the StateStat process through monthly individual agency meetings and quarterly cross-agency Stats including BayStat, StudentStat, VetStat and ReEntryStat. (The EPA would later base their ChesapeakeStat program on O'Malley's innovative BayStat program.) In 2012, Governor O'Malley launched Maryland's Open Data Portal- StateStat uses the data in the Portal to track progress towards the Governor's 16 strategic goals. As one of the few states at the time linking progress directly to open data, Maryland led the nation in government transparency and accountability.[49] O'Malley has said that President Obama has looked at StateStat as a potential model for tracking stimulus funding.[50]
Democratic Party[edit]
O'Malley was elected as the vice chairman of the Democratic Governors Association for 2009–2010, and on December 1, 2010, he was elected chairman for 2010–2011.[51]
Soon after entering office, O'Malley closed the Maryland House of Correction in Jessup, a notoriously violent maximum-security prison facility.[52]
National Popular Vote[edit]
In April 2007, O'Malley became the first governor to sign legislation entering a state into the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.[53] Designed to reform how states allocate their electoral votes, the National Popular Vote plan has since been enacted in nine additional states and the District of Columbia.[54]
Second term[edit]
In a debate during the 2010 campaign, O'Malley referred to illegal immigrants as "new Americans", as he endorsed tougher enforcement against illegal immigration by the federal government.[55] In May 2011, O'Malley signed a law that would make the children of illegal immigrants eligible for in-state college tuition under certain conditions.[56] The law provides that illegal immigrants can be eligible for in-state tuition if students have attended a high school in Maryland for three years and if they or their parents have paid state income taxes during that time.[57] In response, Delegate Neil Parrott created an online petition to suspend the law pending a referendum vote that would be held during the 2012 general election.[58] On November 6, 2012, a majority (58%) of state voters passed referendum Question 4 in support of the law signed by O'Malley.[59]
During the 2014 crisis of illegal immigrant children from Central America crossing the border, O'Malley refused to open a facility in Westminster, Maryland, to house the children. The White House criticized his decision as hypocritical, given comments he made indicating that he thought deporting all the children was wrong. He then responded saying the White House mischaracterized his remarks.[60]
Same-sex marriage[edit]
|Wikinews has related news: Voters in Maine and Maryland vote for marriage equality
O'Malley voiced his support for a bill considered by the General Assembly to legalize same-sex marriage in Maryland. O'Malley, a Catholic, was urged by the Archbishop of Baltimore Edwin O'Brien not to support the bill in a private letter sent two days before O'Malley voiced his support.[61] "I am well aware that the recent events in New York have intensified pressure on you to lend your active support to legislation to redefine marriage," O'Brien wrote. "As advocates for the truths we are compelled to uphold, we speak with equal intensity and urgency in opposition to your promoting a goal that so deeply conflicts with your faith, not to mention the best interests of our society."[61] O'Malley responded, "I do not presume, nor would I ever presume as Governor, to question or infringe upon your freedom to define, to preach about, and to administer the sacraments of the Roman Catholic Church. But on the public issue of granting equal civil marital rights to same-sex couples, you and I disagree."[61]
The Maryland House of Delegates approved the bill by a 72–67 vote on February 17,[62] and the Maryland Senate approved the bill by a vote of 25–22 on February 23.[63] The bill was amended to take effect on January 1, 2013, allowing for a voter referendum.[64] O'Malley signed the bill on March 1, 2012.[65] After signature, referendum petitioners gathered the support required to challenge the law.[66] Referendum Question 6 in support of same-sex marriage was passed by 52.4% of the state's voters on November 6, 2012.[67][68]
Animal welfare[edit]
In 2013, O'Malley signed a bill to ban the practice of shark finning in Maryland, making it the 6th U.S. state to enact this regulation. The signature of this bill made Maryland the first state on the east coast of the United States to make it illegal to possess, sell, trade or distribute shark fins.[69]
O'Malley opposed a 2011 lawsuit that The University of Maryland Environmental Law Clinic brought against Perdue Farms, a poultry agribusiness corporation based in Maryland. The lawsuit accused Perdue of allowing run-off phosphorus pollution from one of their contact farms into the Chesapeake Bay.[70] In 2014, O'Malley also promised to veto the Poultry Fair Share Act, which would require poultry companies in Maryland to pay taxes to clean up the Chesapeake Bay equal to the existing cleanup taxes required of Maryland citizens.[71]
Also in 2014, O'Malley approved the practice of hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," in Western Maryland on the condition of tight regulations. He had previously blocked the technique from the region for three years, awaiting the report from the Marcellus Shale Advisory Commission on the risks and benefits of hydraulic fracturing.[72]
Capital punishment[edit]
O'Malley, a long-time opponent of capital punishment,[73] signed a bill on May 2, 2013, that repealed the death penalty in Maryland for all future offenders.[74] Although the repeal did not affect the five inmates then on death row in Maryland, O'Malley commuted the sentences of four prisoners remaining on Maryland's death row to life imprisonment without the possibility for parole.[75]
Gun control[edit]
O'Malley supported gun control in his second term.[76] On May 16, 2013, he signed a new gun control bill into law.[77]
Political ambitions[edit]
After O'Malley stood in for 2008 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton at a Democratic campaign event on June 2, 2007, in New Hampshire, Delegate Tony O'Donnell said in response, "It's the worst-kept secret in Maryland that the governor has national ambitions."[78] State Senator Thomas V. Miller, Jr. said O'Malley's political future "comes into play in everything he does", adding O'Malley is "very much like Bill Clinton in being slow and deliberative and calculating in everything he does."[78]
Speculation about O'Malley's plans was further fueled by his high-profile at the 2012 Democratic National Convention, where he received a primetime speaking slot on the second night of the convention and spoke to delegations from several states, including Iowa, where the first presidential caucuses are held in election years, and Ohio, a key swing state in recent presidential elections.[79] O'Malley's prominence at the convention generated both support for, and criticism of his record. U.S. Senator Ben Cardin and Howard County Executive Ken Ulman praised his speech, with Ulman saying, "To borrow a catchphrase from his address, his career is moving forward, not back."[79]
2016 presidential campaign[edit]
O'Malley publicly expressed interest in a presidential run in 2016 on multiple occasions. At a press conference in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and at a National Governors Association meeting in August 2013, O'Malley stated he was laying "the framework" for a presidential run.[80][81][82][83] In October 2014, he discussed some of his potential policies as President during a panel discussion with Paul Hawken and Tom Steyer.[84] In April 2015, he said that he expected to make a decision on the race by the end of May 2015.[85]
After months of consideration, O'Malley indicated on Twitter that he would announce his candidacy on May 30, 2015, at Baltimore's Federal Hill Park.[86]
On May 30, 2015, O'Malley formally announced his candidacy for the 2016 presidential nomination.[87]
On February 1, 2016, after performing poorly in the Iowa caucuses, he suspended his campaign, only receiving 0.6% of state delegate equivalents awarded in the caucuses, whereas both Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders received over 49% each. After suspending his campaign, the former Maryland governor gave a speech, saying -
"Tonight, I have to tell you that I am suspending this Presidential bid. But I am not ending this fight. Our country is worth saving, the American dream is worth saving, and this planet is worth saving. So as we march forward, to the fall, let us all resolve together, that the love, the generosity, the compassion and the commitment of this campaign, will continue to point our country forward."
On June 9, 2016, O'Malley officially endorsed Hillary Clinton.[88]
Personal life[edit]
O'Malley met his wife, the former Catherine "Katie" Curran, in 1986 while they were both in law school. At the time, he was working on Barbara Mikulski's U.S. Senate campaign, and she was working on her father's, J. Joseph Curran, Jr., campaign for Attorney General of Maryland. They were married in 1990 and are the parents of four children, Grace, Tara, William, and Jack.[89] Before the 2006 election, O'Malley's father-in-law, Joseph Curran, citing his age and his long career, decided not to seek re-election for Attorney General, preventing any conflict of interest that might arise in having O'Malley as governor.[90]

O'Malley has said he grew up surrounded by Irish music.[91] While attending Gonzaga High School in Washington D.C. in 1979, he and his football coach Danny Costello formed a band known as The Shannon Tide. The band played numerous shows around the D.C. and Delaware areas, focusing on Irish, Celtic, and folk rock.[citation needed] After graduation, O'Malley went solo. In 1988, he founded the Baltimore-based Celtic rock band O'Malley's March, in which he is the lead singer and plays acoustic guitar and banjo.[92] In addition to Irish music, the band's mainstays include Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire," Woody Guthrie's "This Land Is Your Land," the parlor song "Hard Times Come Again No More," The Pogues' "Body of an American," and Passenger's "Scare Away The Dark.[93] In addition to more traditional venues, the band frequently performs at played O'Malley's campaign events. In 2012, the band played at the White House as part of an extended Saint Patrick's Day celebration honoring Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny.[94]
In other media[edit]
According to David Simon, the creator of the HBO drama The Wire, the show's fictional mayor of Baltimore Tommy Carcetti is "Not O'Malley," but O'Malley was one of several inspirations.[95][96] Writing in Baltimore Magazine several years after the show had concluded, Simon did reveal the nature of a private phone conversation with O'Malley as production of the show's second season was beginning, in which the mayor urged that the show's contents be changed to put Baltimore and his own administration in a better light, and threatened the show's ability to continue to shoot in Baltimore.[97]
O'Malley appeared in the film Ladder 49 as himself. The History Channel's documentary First Invasion: The War of 1812 featured O'Malley in a segment regarding the British attack on Baltimore in 1814.

Texas A&M Football: Kevin Sumlin Surprises Aggies with Movie Trip (VIDEO)
August 15th, 2014| by Lost Lettermen
Want to make hulking, intimidating men act like the little boy that lies dormant deep inside them? Just give them a surprise trip to the movies.
Texas A&M head coach Kevin Sumlin had his Aggies get dressed for practice on Thursday only to reveal to them that practice was off and a trip to the cinema was taking its place.
We'd all welcome a jaunt to the movies after a grueling few weeks of fall camp, but this display of excitement was truly something else.
If anyone tries to tell you high ticket prices and the Internet have marked the end of the theater-going experience, now you can show them this.

A second town clerk in New York is resigning over her religious objection to the state's new law legalizing same-sex marriage.
Ruth Sheldon in Granby, Oswego County said signing a marriage certificate for same-sex couples violates her faith.
"I have struggled prayerfully how to handle this situation since I would be forced to sign same-sex marriage licenses," Sheldon wrote. "It is clear that I must stand for what I believe." On July 11, Laura Fotusky, a clerk for Barker, Broome County, submitted her resignation to the town board for the same reasons.
The Alliance Defense Fund has advised New York municipal clerks responsible for issuing marriage licenses that they're required by the state's human rights law to accommodate an employee's sincerely held religious beliefs.
New York law "explicitly allows a municipality to delegate a clerk's duties concerning marriage licenses to a deputy clerk or any other municipal employee. A city or town should have no reason to deny a clerk's request for an accommodation," ADF noted in a memo.
"Indeed, it is disturbing that public officials have so blithely dismissed New Yorkers' sincerely held beliefs even though millions of New Yorkers believe that marriage is only between a man and a woman," the ADF said. Gay marriage is set to become legal in New York on Sunday.

Five parent volunteers at Macquiddy Elementary School in Watsonville became Nutrition Ambassadors in February. At a celebration on the 27th, each graduate received a certificate, t-shirt, apron and other items to mark their accomplishment. The Nutrition Ambassador certification is part of Second Harvest's Passion For Produce program. Volunteers attend six one-hour workshops to become certified to help manage produce distributions and share nutrition information with their peers.
Jake Harder, an Americorps volunteer at Second Harvest, taught the workshops and coordinated the graduation. Brooke Johnson, Chief Operations and Programs Officer at Second Harvest also attended the ceremony, which included a delicious and healthy meal including black bean casserole, brown rice, roasted veggies, fruit compote and apple crisp.
Maria Fajardo, MacQuiddy Elementary School staff and parent liaison, explained the impact the program is having at the school. She said that since partnering with Second Harvest to distribute fresh produce at MacQuiddy School, they have seen fewer students in the office with stomachaches from skipping breakfast. Also, now that students are eating more fruits and veggies at home, they are more receptive to them at school. Before, many students would throw away their veggie and fruits cups, but now they are eating them.
The program is also helping to connect parents to the school. The students are proud of their parents for volunteering with the program. And low-income students who felt marginalized by poverty, now realize there are a lot of families in the same situation.
The following are some of the comments made by the Nutrition Ambassadors.
The program is helping me to make small changes in the way our family eats at home. Learning to read food labels has been especially important.
Before, I didn't know how to cook in the oven; I prepared all our meals by frying on the stovetop. I have learned new cooking techniques and recipes through this program.
This training has made me think about how much sugar we consume at home. One of the important, small changes we have made is reducing the teaspoons of sugar my husband and I put in our coffee. It is taking some getting used to, but I explained to him why it is important!
-San Juana
I am retired and was looking for a way to help the community. My daughter recommended I volunteer with this program. It is a big help to many families in this school and neighborhood.
Congratulations to everyone and thank you for you commitment to building a strong and healthy community!

One teammate performed first aid while another comforted a University of Connecticut football player who was fatally stabbed during a fight outside a school-sanctioned dance over the weekend, their coach said yesterday.
Coach Randy Edsall wouldn't identify the teammates or say how many players witnessed the fight that led to the death of 20-year-old Jasper Howard.
"One had Jasper in his arms and the other was pressuring where the wound went in and had blood on his hands," Edsall said. "And those two young men are pretty deeply affected right now."

Too many to mention really. Saw two football games and a tango show in Buenos Aires which were superb. Iguacu Falls was spectacular, and went hang-gliding in Rio which was great. The favela tour there was also excellent. If I'm honest though the best thing about the tour was all the people I met. Hopefully I will keep in touch with them and travel to Australia to meet them again in the future
Excellent. Very knowledgable about their respective countries and spoke very good English. Both were extremely friendly and approachable
I would like to think they were happy to have us there. Both in Argentina and Brazil I found the locals to be friendly and courteous towards us. I look forward to visiting again
Definitely. I believe I have a better understanding now of the local people and their cultures. It was a very educational and enjoyable experience
I would recommend this trip to anyone. It's virtually impossible not to have a sensational time. The people, the place, the cuisine, everything really was all first rate. You will have a whole cavalcade of amazing memories to take for the rest of your life. Do it!

Yesterday I took a couple hours off work and, with my almost 11 year old daughter in tow, headed down to the Capitol for the VAWA rally. (You can see the pictures at the FHO Flickr stream.) I had intended to write up my thoughts on the rally, but my daughter had so much to say about it, I figured I'd let you hear it from her. So click through to read about Julia's impressions, almost entirely unedited (save for some comical spelling errors). I hope you enjoy it.
VAWA Rally
"Pass VAWA now! Pass VAWA now! Pass VAWA now!" If you were walking at the capitol you would have heard those shouts from the 50-75 men and women, and me.
On Tuesday, the 26th of June, I went with my mom, the amazing, almost all knowing, eyes on the back of her head, Dr. Jenifer Markowitz, to the VAWA (Violence Against Women Act) rally held at the Capitol. I was amazed. People had signs saying, "WE SUPPORT THE REAL VAWA!" and "1 IS TOO MANY! STOP VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN, PASS VAWA!"
If you don't know, we were rallying because the Senate had passed a VAWA that included protection for Native Americans on reservations; it protected the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) community, and it protected immigrants and people of color. The bill protected both men and women. But, when the Senate sent it over to the House, they had different opinions. They passed a VAWA that didn't protect the people that the other bill passed by the Senate did.
What I loved about the rally was that everyone there had the same opinion, no matter where they came from, what organization they worked for, if you were well known or not so much, we all had one opinion and one voice. The VAWA passed by the House would not work, at all! As Terry O'Neil, President of the National Organization for Women, said, "We will not accept any VAWA except the real VAWA! We will not accept the House version or anything like it!"
What I was most amazed at were the speakers that showed up at the rally. There were two Congresswomen, two Senators and even Michael Bolton, to name a few! I did have a few favorites. Two of the women there had been assaulted (knowing that recently was the first time they had talked about it, I won't give the names.) But let me tell you this, they are my role models. They are my role models because they went through something tragic, terrifying, and often fatal. As one of those women said, "This harassment often closes many doors. It gives you very, very, limited options." What she said is why they are my role models. What happened to them was terrible, but they powered through that. I will tell you both of those women are very successful and they are doing something that I want to do when I'm older. Those two women are helping people; they are showing me that the toughest obstacles can be conquered. And that's why we need the REAL VAWA. So that all women can have the best chance to overcome their obstacles and be successful.

CHICAGO - IGA here is considering a proposal to split itself into three wholly owned companies, Thomas S. Haggai, chairman and chief executive officer, told SN last week. The three companies - IGA USA, IGA International and IGA Coca-Cola Institute - would operate under a trusteeship called IGA Inc., which would continue to be based here and which would control the intellectual capital of the enterprise, Haggai said. IGA's board is expected to vote on the proposal within 30 days, he said. ...

THE xenophobic attacks that have horrified South Africans are "completely fixable" through good education that did more than just improve people intellectually, says Taddy Blecher, CEO of Cida City Campus, SA's first low-cost tertiary education institution.
SA's education system needed to imbue citizens with values and encourage belief in their own ideas, he said.
"Education is vital, as bad as it might be, and in many of our schools education is broken.
"But school is not just about facts, it's also about what you become as a human being," he told a Henley Management College breakfast in Johannesburg yester-day.
However, the fact that Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe had seven degrees did not make the country a better place.
"We have to think about what kind of education we are giving South Africans. Xenophobia, poverty ... these are dark things, but we have missed the point about education, it's all about people, about growing them from their start to the day they die."
South Africans understood the value of education but many were not given the opportunity to improve themselves because those who could help them chose not to do so, he said .

Firefighters made significant progress Tuesday battling the Yarnell Hill Fire, achieving 8 percent containment and anticipating full containment by July 12.
"We had a very productive day today," incident commander Clay Templin said Tuesday night. "For right now, I'm pleased to see that."
Containment means that fire lines have been established around the perimeter of the fire, where vegetation has been removed to prevent the blaze from spreading.
At a community meeting in Prescott, Templin pleaded for "understanding and patience,'' saying that the lower levels of visible smoke Tuesday do not mean that conditions are safe for residents to return.
Templin said he is guarding against lifting the evacuation so that he isn't forced to reinstate it if conditions change. He warned the fire is still "very hot'' and conditions remain volatile, despite the progress made by firefighters.
"All of the fuels for this fire are exceptionally dry,'' Templin said. "The potential for this fire to pick up and run again is extreme.''
The fire has burned through 8,400 acres of mostly grass and chaparral.
The blaze, which claimed the lives of 19 firefighters Sunday, is the deadliest wildfire in Arizona history. It started about 11/2 miles from Yarnell on Friday and in addition to the burned acreage, it has destroyed and damaged numerous homes. The communities of Yarnell and Peeples Valley were evacuated.
The monsoon weather, which is believed to have played a critical role in the deaths of the firefighters, continued to pose a challenge. A 49 mph gust of wind was recorded in Prescott Tuesday afternoon, the National Weather Service said.
"What we're seeing today, tomorrow will be a near repeat,'' Mark O'Malley, a meteorologist with Weather Service, said Tuesday. "We are getting thunderstorms up in that area.''
He said some rain was expected in the area, but not much, and winds are a "hit-and-miss situation,'' which is typical during the monsoon.
The firefighters were killed Sunday afternoon when winds suddenly changed and the fire apparently burned over them.
An independent investigation of the fire will be led by Florida State Forester Jim Karels. His secondary team lead will be Mike Dudley, acting director of cooperative forestry for the U.S. Forest Service.
Other entities participating in the investigation include the U.S. Forest Service's Missoula Technology and Development Center, the Missoula Fire Department, Bureau of Land Management and Arizona Division of Occupational Safety and Health. Team members are technical specialists and fire-behavior analysts.
The local liaisons to the nine-member Yarnell Hill Investigation Team are Arizona State Forester Scott Hunt and Prescott Fire Chief Dan Fraijo.
As part of the investigation, the team will review the weather at the time of the tragedy, fire department records, radio logs and any other evidence that may help determine how to prevent a similar tragedy in the future.
"We are confident that the investigative team will find lessons to be learned from this tragedy," Hunt said. "We have a responsibility to those lost and their loved ones, as well as to current and future wildland firefighters, to understand what happened as completely as possible."
Yarnell Hill Fire now 8 percent contained

Spontaneous cholecystocutaneous fistulas have been reported since Thilesus in 1670.1 In 1890, 169 cases of spontaneous biliary fistula were reported by Courvosier,2 36 cases were reported by Henry and Ort in 1949,2 and only 16 cases were reported over the last 50 years.3 Presently, incidence is greatest in women older than 60 years or men younger than 24 years.1 Cholecystocutaneous fistulas occur as a result of the persistent inflammation of a perforated gallbladder, trauma, iatrogenic causes,4 neglected chronic cholecystitis,4 calculus cholelithiasis, or, infrequently, carcinomas.3 Fistulas develop primarily at the fundus of the gallbladder and can communicate with the abdominal parieties, duodenum, colon, stomach, gluteal region,4,5 chest wall, or thigh.1
Cholecystocutaneous fistulas typically present with a right upper quadrant, painless, fluctuant mass1; dyspepsia; abdominal wall cellulitis or suppuration; upper abdominal colic; or weight loss. Interestingly, cholecystocutaneous fistulas frequently are not preceded by an episode of acute cholecystitis.1,4 Diagnosis is best confirmed with ultrasonography, computed tomography, or fistulogram. Treatment options include source control through percutaneous management only (including stone removal) in high-risk patients, minimally invasive cholecystectomy, and open management with cholecystectomy. Percutaneous drainage, with potential spontaneous closure of the fistulous tract, is no longer the preferred approach because it requires the subsequent surgical procedure of cholecystectomy to prevent recurrence.3,4 Open surgical management is currently being considered the standard approach with cholecystectomy and external abscess drainage.3 However, with improving skills and expanding techniques in laparoscopic surgery, a minimally invasive approach may soon become the standard. It has been reported that laparoscopic management of cholecystocutaneous fistulas is safe and cost-effective.6 However, it is understood that basic principles in the laparoscopic management of gallbladder disease for cholecystocutaneous fistulas apply, which include obtaining the "critical view" with certainty and being mentally open to early conversion.

A pioneer in the American dining experience and the forerunner to the modern day fast food restaurant,was the diner which provided inexpensive meals that were served hot in a short amount of time. Located in downtown Warren, the Streamliner Diner on the corner of East Market Street and Pine Avenue N.E. next to the First Federal Savings and Loan Association, the diner was the place to eat between 1940 and 1952.
The Streamliner was a prefabricated structure made by the J.B. Judkins Company in Merrimac, Mass. The model was one of the most distinctive that the company made. It was a Sterling style that mimicked the look of the railroad dining cars of the era which had one or two rounded edges to the outside structure.
Fewer than 20 models of this style were built.
Article Photos
The Streamliner Diner was at the corner of East Market Street and Pine Avenue N.E. in Warren, where First Place Bank is located today. Between 1940 and 1952, the diner was a popular place to eat in downtown Warren.
The 41-foot cream and burgundy diner with porcelain on steel exterior panels was placed over a basement so that small banquets and meetings of approximately 50 people could he held there. The downstairs also provided storage.
Sam D'Agati began working at the Streamliner in 1941 as a teenager, first as a short order cook, then counter person and eventually as a night manager. The diner had a kitchen window behind the counter where the counter person communicated with the head chef and a grill in the front of the counter section for fast cooking. The kitchen was concealed behind a wall.
The interior of the building had 13 swivel stools at the counter and four tables. The entire diner could seat approximately 40 people.
Fact Box
- Josh Nativio maintains a Flickr page of historical photos of downtown Warren and other sites in the Mahoning Valley. The old photos of the Streamliner Diner came from this collection. View these photos at www.flickr.com/photos/down-townwarrenhistory. Nativio is always looking for more historical photos. Contact him at 330-393-3137 if you have photos you would like to share.
This new way of eating out was originally introduced in the late 1800s to serve workers in Rhode Island as a lunch wagon selling sandwiches and coffee. By the time the Streamliner came to Warren, the diner had an inside counter and table seating with a front step entrance.
"I remember going there with my mom when I was 3 or 4 years old," Don Andres of Niles said. "I would get a cheeseburger, french fries and a chocolate shake. I also remember spinning on the swivel chair at the counter while I sat there."
Andres' mother Rose worked downtown, and she would take him to visit her brother, Sam D' Agati.
Richard Marino of Niles also recalled going to see his cousin Sam at the Streamliner.
"I would go there in the afternoon. The restaurant was always busy. I was proud of him working there."
The opening day menu advertised a variety of dishes such as roast young tom turkey, oyster dressing, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, Bird's Eye peas, assorted bread or hot rolls, coffee, tea or milk, hot mince or pumpkin pie for 75 cents.
To attract customers, the opening day advertisement emphasized the motto of the diner, "Only the Best is Good Enough." This included the quality of the food and service, and emphasized the diner's wish to please the customer in every way.
The diner encouraged feedback to the servers to make each dining experience the best dining experience possible.
The daily diner menus at that time offered mostly typical American cuisine, and the Streamliner followed suit, serving T-bone steaks, roast prime rib of beef with Bermuda french-fried onions for 75 cents.
But the 24-hour restaurant was best known for some of its other menu items. According to Andres, it was their breakfast and burgers.
Virginia Santone of Warren said that she remembered the Streamliner made the best burgers in town.
The diner was a perfect location for night owls. Located downtown, shift workers and revelers leaving shows would frequent the eatery for a late night meal. Anyone passing the Streamliner at 3 a.m. would typically find a busy establishment.
The Streamliner offered a hot meal to anyone who came to the restaurant, but during the weekdays, many prominent businessmen, courthouse workers and other downtown employees frequented the diner.
Though a popular gathering place for good food and conversation during its residence in downtown Warren, the population started to shift to the suburbs and First Federal Savings and Loan Association (now First Place Bank) wanted to expand. When First Federal purchased the land that housed the diner, it ended the era of the Streamliner in downtown Warren.
The Streamliner was removed from its location in 1953 after closing in 1952, but resurfaced in Ellwood City, Pa., as Brady's Diner. It remained there until it was put up for sale in 1987.
The diner was purchased and moved to Cleveland by Steve Harwin. In 1988, he planned to restore the outside structure of the Streamliner to its original condition. Unfortunately, because the diner was too large to house inside a warehouse, it was stored outside. During unusually high winds, weather caused damage to the front and side of the outside structure. Fortunately, the original inside seating remained intact.
As of 1992, the Streamliner was being restored for relocation to Duluth, Minn. Restaurateur Tom Meagher wanted to place a historic diner at Lake Superior as a tourist attraction.

The Centurions are gunning for their fourth league championship in a row in girls' track and field, although head coach Christian Standley identifies one big hole to fill.
"I guess you could say that we don't have the field event superstar that we've had in the past," he said. "This year, we don't have the standout like we're used to in the throws or the jumps. It's going to be kind of a by-committee effort."
But Saugus always churns out incredible distance runners, and this year's crop is no different. Senior Brianna Jauregui and Anne Randall, junior Amber Murakami, sophomore Stephanie Bulder, and freshman Karis Frankian will likely rack up valuable points in the 800-meter race, 1600 and 3200 this spring.
Meanwhile, sophomore Kaylin Mahoney, who finished third in the 3200 at last year's CIF-Southern Section track and field championships, is out indefinitely with an injury.
"It will really test the depth of this team," Standley said. "Hopefully other girls can bare enough of the burden that we can continue to have success without our ace."
The Saugus boys, on the other hand, will try to join the girls on the Foothill League summit.
And they'll do so with strong distance runners of their own.
Standley hopes that Brandon Jauregui will be able to run the 800, 1600 and 3200, while junior Alec Nelson will most likely run the 1600 and 3200.
Senior Josh Coefield is the Centurions' top returning sprinter, while Daniel Swarbrick will defend his CIF-Southern Section championship in the shot put and Landon Shaw will provide Saugus with a solid pole-vaulter.
"I'm pretty confident with our distance," Standley said. "I think we stack up well with the rest of the league. We have a few new guys out who are rounding into the field events."
After finishing second in the league last season, the young but talented Canyon girls figure to provide a big challenge for Saugus.
The Cowboys will be led by senior thrower Courtney Saunders, junior sprinter Keeli Howard, junior pole-vaulter Gilian Lopez, and sophomore sprinter and jumper Layana White.
Canyon also has a pair of outstanding freshmen in hurdler Taylor Thomas and jumper Tiffiny Stone. "Our girls team is formidable," said Canyon head coach Paul Broneer. "I think we're going to make up (points) in the field events, sprints and hurdles. I think we have a pretty balanced team."
Balance could help the boys team capture a league title this spring. Sophomore Darius Rudolph has posted some of the best pre-league times in the sprints, and senior Anthony Pizzo is one of the league's top distance runners.
Senior Harrison Hall will return to defend his league titles in high jump and triple jump, and the junior tandem of Dylan Kawaa and Ricky Bergeron give the Cowboys solid point-scorers in the throws.
The talent is there for Canyon, but so far, health has been another issue.
"Right now, we just need to stay healthy on the guys' side," Broneer said. "We held three key guys at the Burroughs meet. I think getting healthy is important."
The Valencia boys team has avoided the injury bug, and could be poised for a run at the league title because of it.
Junior Jabari Howard will run sprints and also participate in the long jump and triple jump, and junior Brennan Bernardino has already become one of the top jumpers despite just joining the team this season.
Junior sprinters Brock Vereen and Zach Tartabull will give Valencia some more punch on the track, while junior Brooks Walsh will lead the pole-vaulters. Sophomore Falco Digiallonardo is Valencia's top distance runner.
"We need more depth in throws," said head coach Pat Connelly. "The hurdles are going to hurt us. I don't know where to figure us in for league."
The girls team, while young, figures to challenge Saugus and Canyon for the league title with plenty of depth.
Sophomore Jasmine Hall participates in the 400 and the high jump, and junior Marisol Guzman bolsters the Vikings' throwers.
The strong stable of sprinters also features seniors Aly Drake and Kelly Deckers, and sophomores Shea Cox, Jessica Criner and Faith Anumba.
"The girls side, I think, is a little better and has a little more depth in all of the events," Connelly said. "We're going to be hurting in the hurdles, but we've got some good sprinters."
Hart lost an exceptional sprinter on the boys' side in Delano Howell, who recorded the best Foothill League times in the 100, 200 and 400 a season ago.
The Indians won the boys title last spring, but suffered several key losses in addition to Howell.
Senior sprinter Demitri Diamond will try to pick up the slack despite missing last season due to injury. Junior pole-vaulter Hunter Jones and senior thrower Ted Glasnow will help Hart score points in the field events, and freshman Sam Peckham and sophomore Anthony Soto are already making waves in the distance races.
"We're improving off the first couple meets," said Hart head coach Larry David. "We've certainly got some places we need to shore up. The sprints and the hurdles and the throws, we'll be trying to get points from those guys as much as possible."
On the girls side, David believe the talent is more spread around.
Sophomore Katie Trevino will take part in sprint races, hurdle races and the high jump, and she's one of a number of soccer players out for this year's team.
Junior Ariel Hauck is among the top hurdlers in the league, Grace Zamudio will run middle distance races and sophomore Anissa Robinson could provide Hart with points in the throws.
"The girls team is much improved from last year," David said. "The numbers are up. Some talented freshmen have come in. It'll be interesting to see how they hold."
Golden Valley lost a hefty senior class on the boys side from last season, but the Grizzlies still have a considerable veteran presence and the numbers are up from seasons past.
Head coach Rob Evans feels that should help in an ever-competitive Foothill League.
"I look at all the marks that our league has put up this year," he said. "I see a lot of 10th graders, 11th graders. I think that's why this league is so great. It's so deep and so competitive."
Senior Bino Horne is among the top sprinters in the league, and senior Emmanuel Tolentino should provide points in the jumping events. Junior hurdler Dylan Olson should also compete for a league title in his events.
The girls team features an infusion of young talent, led by sophomore distance runner Lauren Nygren, sophomore sprinter Lauren Hackney and junior jumper Kristine Tan.
Grizzlies head coach Rob Evans watched another Golden Valley program's success this past winter, and now hopes his team is ready to equal it.
"We're pretty young this year, but they're working as hard as ever," Evans said. "I think that's something our school has begun to achieve here. We're piggybacking the boys basketball team. Our school is hungry for success."
West Ranch is looking to achieve that success as well.
The Wildcats may have it at the top of each event, but head coach Randy Smith noted depth may be an issue.
"I feel that we have some good first-place strength in a lot of events, but we don't have enough depth in the field in particular, so that's going to be a problem for us," he said.
Senior Ross Bacon and junior Evan Stevens will anchor the sprinters, and senior Matt Harmon will be among the top hurdlers in the league. Senior distance runner Carter Welker should also be in the running for a league championship.
On the girls side, junior Bailey Miller, sophomore Jennifer Owen and freshman Ashley Welker will give the Wildcats steady performers in the distance races, and sisters Kayley and Breann Braucher lead West Ranch in the throws.
But the program saw its first class of four-year participants just last season, and the outlook is bright.
"This year, we are definitely a little more experienced," Smith said.

Details of the goals of the UX stage are as follows.
The User Experience/Interaction Design stage is for agile team members passionate about creating a great user experience. Our goals include:
A great user experience must be rooted in an understanding of user needs. Good user interface design is not enough. The best products come from entire teams understanding and applying user experience skills and practices throughout the entire lifecycle of a product.
In Agile development, the whole team must accept responsibility for the quality of the user experience.
Questions the stage will attempt to answer:

The 2011 Atlantic Hurricane Season is expected to be very active, with NOAA's Climate Prediction Center predicting 12 to 18 named tropical cyclones. Although tropical cyclones can be destructive to U.S. coastlines, they can also wreak havoc inland through damaging winds, heavy rains and tornadoes. For this reason, the National Weather Service (NWS) in Peachtree City, Georgia decided to educate the public on how to plan, prepare, stay informed and take actions necessary to protect life and property from threats associated with tropical systems.
On Saturday, June 4th, 2011, the Peachtree City NWS staff teamed up with the U.S. Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunters to highlight the many threats associated with tropical cyclones.
The Hurricane Hunters flew one of the special hurricane-penetrating Lockheed-Martin WC-130J aircraft to the Atlanta Regional Airport (Falcon Field) in Peachtree City for the free public event. Approximately 2700 people toured the plane and chatted with the crew, learning the vital importance of the missions for improving forecasts and warnings issued by the National Hurricane Center and NWS. The Peachtree City NWS Forecast Office and the Southeast River Forecast Center also had display booths co-located with the Hurricane Hunter plane and handed out hundreds of informational brochures, providing detailed guidance on preparing for hazards associated with inland moving tropical systems.
The NWS Forecast Office held an Open House in conjunction with the Hurricane Hunter plane to give local residents a chance to tour the operations area where the official forecasts, advisories, watches, and warnings originate for almost 100 Georgia counties. Approximately 900 area residents toured the office, making this the most successful open house outreach event since the office opened at the Peachtree City location in 1994.
Overall, the whole event was a great success and thousands of citizens received vital life saving preparedness information regarding emergency planning, receiving warnings and taking actions to protect life and property.
