text: Dolphin Stories Wednesday, November 20, 2013 A Story to Tell: Award-WInning Irish Author Visits Le Moyne 4:05 PM :: 4747 Views As a young man, Colum McCann set off from his native Dublin to Cape Cod to write a novel – a romantic idea, for sure. It did not go as planned. He struggled for roughly a year before finally realizing he hadn't experienced enough to write the story he wanted to tell. That wouldn't remain a problem for long. McCann soon set out across the U.S. on his bicycle, staying with Amish farmers in Pennsylvania and a Native American family in New Mexico, among other stops, before arriving in Texas, where he served as a wilderness guide for troubled youth. The journey was a turning point for him. He came back a "totally changed person." "It's when I learned that everyone has a story to tell," he recalled recently. Nearly 30 years later, McCann believes that "everyone has at least a book-and-a-half in them." His own count is eight – two collections of short stories and six novels. They include McCann's most recent work, TransAtlantic, which was nominated for the 2013 Man Booker Prize, and Let the Great World Spin, whose many honors include the 2009 National Book Award. McCann, who was inducted into Aosdana, the Irish Arts Council, recently visited the Le Moyne campus, where he gave a public reading of his work. He is among several acclaimed Irish authors to visit the College in recent years, including Paul Muldoon, Colm Tóibín,and Anne Enright. Kate Costello-Sullivan, Ph.D., who as director of the Irish literature program invited McCann to the College, said that his work is "marked by the understatement that is characteristic of many Irish writers" yet "distinguished by his tendency to interweave complex, multiple story lines." "McCann is one of the most important writers of our time, not only within the Irish canon, but internationally," she said. "His penchant for razor sharp prose and at times excruciatingly powerful understatement gives his work a power and a beauty that stay with readers for a long time." In addition to reading from his work before a large crowd in Grewen Auditorium, McCann took time to meet with some of the students in the College's creative writing and Irish literature programs. McCann teaches in the Master of Fine Arts program at Hunter College in New York City, and he told the Le Moyne group something of which he has often reminded his own students, that being a writer requires "desire, perseverance and stamina." In fact, he said, "being a writer isn't that different from being an athlete." He also advised the students to step away from their work and to come back to it with fresh eyes, and to find a reader whom they can trust, "someone who is not going to placate you or tear you down." Reading as much of the work of their contemporaries as possible is also critical to their development as writers, McCann said. But what he most emphasized to the students was that when they feel like they aren't succeeding, they should remember the words of another Irish author, Samuel Beckett : "Try again. Fail again. Fall better."

- Independent
- The Enterprise
- The Recorder
A proposal for a shopping center at a corner of routes 235 and 4 in California got an endorsement Monday from the St. Mary's County Planning Commission on a split vote.
The St. Mary's Market Place project has a new owner, Klein Enterprises, and an abandoned trailer park at the site has been removed. The 91,000-square-foot shopping center on 14 acres would bring in a new pharmacy, a new grocery store and relocate the businesses in the adjacent Bay Country shopping center to St. Mary's Market Place.
Ultimately however, the project needs approval from the St. Mary's County commissioners to cross the old railroad right of way owned by the county.
The commissioners turned down the last developer of the project, DRS Development, because it would have relocated a Food Lion grocery store from the Laurel Glen shopping center to St. Mary's Market Place.
"It's a different plan, similar, but different," said Phil Shire, director of the St. Mary's County Department of Land Use and Growth Management. It is smaller in scope, but it would still add lanes to St. Andrew's Church Road, and construct an additional segment of FDR Boulevard between an apartment complex in Wildewood to the First Colony development at Route 4.
Matthew Allen, director of development for Klein Enterprises, said the pharmacy and grocery store would be businesses not located in St. Mary's County now, but acknowledged the leases haven't been secured yet.
Some members of the planning commission said they were concerned about the impact on traffic at the intersection of Route 4 and Route 235. The commercial project uses a traffic plan from 2008, which is still valid, according to the Maryland State Highway Administration. "If anything they're actually down a little bit," Allen said of the traffic numbers around the intersection.
"I guess I'm not satisfied with the evidence the traffic has gone down," said Susan McNeill, planning commission member. "In my estimation the traffic is the same or worse."
The intersection already operates at what is called by SHA officials a failing level, which means lines of vehicles can't clear out in one cycle of a traffic light. Allen said the developer's improvements to the intersection would offset 500 to 800 percent of its impact to traffic.
The existing entrance to the Bay Country shopping center would be closed off and that strip mall would ultimately be demolished. Its businesses will have the option to move into new space within St. Mary's Market Place, Allen said.
"I think it's a perfect property to be redeveloped," said Merl Evans, planning commission member.
The project will have a right-in, right-out lane for the pharmacy on Route 4, an entrance on Route 235 and the new portion of FDR Boulevard for access. "I cannot develop the property without the access off [Route] 235," Allen said, and that would require crossing the county's right of way.
"You've got a hot corner," said Howard Thompson, chairman of the planning commission. "If something's built right, it will take off" he told the developer.
Shelby P. Guazzo, planning commission member, wanted to see the entire property with a childproof fence to keep kids away from the state roads. The site plan calls for three fences, but not one on the side adjacent to Route 235.
Other members said the Maryland State Highway Administration may alter the project when it decides on how to improve the intersection of Route 235 and Route 4, "because they can throw it all out at the end of the day," said Martin Siebert, planning commission member. That intersection is still under planning and Allen said, "they might not have funding for any" of the options selected.
The board voted 4-3 to approve the concept plan, with Guazzo, McNeill and Patricia Robrecht voting no.

Save yourself alot of headaches!!!!!!!!!!!!! By jhmeresqu on 7/8/2013jhmeresqu would recommend this product to a friendGreat product, used it to monitor my RO/DI Water System in the garage and also bought the extension sensor to monitor my sump area. Works well, very sensitive. Can't go wrong, believe me, I've already ruined one carpet in the family room, I don't plan on doing it again, so I've tiled the floor, and I won't be having any popped tile any time soon, thanks to this little contraption.
Just accept this is cheaper than carpet! By SerenityReef on 5/6/2013SerenityReef would recommend this product to a friendEveryone is going to forget the RODI is running at some point. Add in protection if a line or joint fails....no brainer
Awesome insurance By CACrimson on 3/21/2013CACrimson wouldn't recommend this product to a friendWhen I counted 60+ connections on my dual membrane 5-stage RO/DI system with ATO, I couldn't sleep well at night knowing that at any time one of those plastic connections could fail and I wouldn't figure it out for possibly hours. With 80PSI, that could be a tonmof water in no time. With wood floors close by, I had to get something.
This thing is great. I had to add a couple Murlock elbows to make it nice and neat, but otherwise installation was 10 minutes. I hadn't thought about placement too much when ordering so I had to order the elbows separately. Think about placement when you're ordering and consider any extra fittings you may need to make it fit.
I also have to place the sensor on the floor under the lip of the kitchen cabinets. We tend to kick it just because of where it has to go. But it's still the best option I could find.
Great unit By Robert on 10/2/2012Robert would recommend this product to a friendI bought this with my new RO/DI system and it has saved me once. I love it and VERY glad I bought it.
It works By Mark on 7/17/2012Mark would recommend this product to a friendI've had this for a while now and its something that you just install and forget. This morning my Auto Shut Off Valve failed and one of the 1/4 tube got disconnected dumping about 1 gallon of water in my basement. It could have been more if this device didn't work. Everyone with RO should have this.
Saved my floor By Andrew on 6/8/2012Andrew would recommend this product to a friendAfter flooding my apartment 3 times because I forgot that I was filling my top off jug with water I finally bought this product. Its worked flawlessly. Granted I have only forgotten about filling the top off jug once since i got it. But that one time it worked great! Saved my floors a little more time and my sanity! I recommend everyone to get this product even if its for backup.
thanks goodness! By joshua on 4/11/2012joshua would recommend this product to a friendThis thing literally saved my oak flooring where my tank is located, had an external media reactor's cap begin to leak, shut it off instantly... I was at work, and it would have been leaking for 12hrs until i got home...
Cheap prevention for major damage. By Tony on 2/1/2012Tony would recommend this product to a friendI love this thing! It works flawlessly from my scenario testing. I have this unit under my wetbar where my RO/DI is plumbed in. This is to let me know if I have any fitting problems; especially when you do you filter maintenance. I also have my top-off reservoir for my sump in this location. You can chain these units together for multiple locations. I have another unit under my display tank where my sump, UV, and Ca Reactor are located. The reasons are obvious. Even though a have a top-off setup failsafe on my Reefkeeper Elite, that wouldn't help if I had a sump leak or other plumbing issues that effected the sump level. I have ordered one more sensor to sit under my saltwater mixing tank(50 gallons) to limit the amount of possible damage should it leak at the faucet end. All of these areas are fed by my RO/DI unit so I just tapped into the city feed line with the main unit.
Good for External Protein Skimmer as well :) By Han on 12/10/2011Han would recommend this product to a friendI run my protein skimmer air line through it and place the sensor underneath the waste collecting plastic container and it helps to stop the overflow. It's cheaper than buying more expensive auto-shutoff waste container.
Works as expected By ShawnCC on 9/19/2011ShawnCC would recommend this product to a friendI live in a rental apartment and it has wood floors. I'm paranoid about wrecking the floors and flooding the other apartments around/below me. This adds just another layer of protection (in addition to manual shutoff ball valves and float switch).
The most fun part about it is replicating the demo from the video (lick finger, touch sensor pad). It works exactly as demonstrated.

Well built and low DB, we like the Excalibur 120MM!
Our dual AMD Opteron ASUS KGPE-D16 motherboard with 3 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550Ti video cards was producing a lot of heat inside the Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced case which could not escape. We took a risk and placed our bet on the radical design of the Cooler Master Excalibur (R4-EXBB-20PK-R0) 120MM fan.
Performs as Good as it Looks!
Since 1996, I have been looking for a PC fan controller that could survive the demands of multiple cooling fans. Numerous times, the fan controllers I ordered would fail due to ineffective DC circuitry that would simply overheat and fail after just a few hours of use.
A Great Back to School Accessory!

The enthusiastic crowd that filled the bleachers of the Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School stadium during Tuesday night's girls' soccer Class 4A West Region second round game between the top-seeded Barons and visiting Winston Churchill fell nearly silent as the final 10 minutes of regulation ticked away. Both sides, it seemed, were in shock at what the scoreboard read: Churchill 2, B-CC 0.
"That happened on our bench, too," Churchill coach Haroot Hakopian said.
It's not that the Bulldogs didn't believe in their chances. In fact, they'd been looking forward to a rematch since playing their worst game of the season in a 4-1, regular-season loss to the Barons. But B-CC has been unbeatable in postseason for the better part of the past decade. Churchill's 2-0 win Tuesday marked the first time in six years that a Montgomery County team defeated the Barons in the postseason and just B-CC's second postseason loss at all during that time.
"B-CC was out there playing for its legacy," Hakopian said. "I think it was shocking for everyone."
Tuesday's game was of state-final caliber, but Churchill (12-3-1) will still need two additional wins just to get out of arguably the state's most competitive region. A new tournament structure divided the 4A West into two geographic regions, meaning the majority of the traditional county powers in the Bethesda/Potomac areas were lumped together. Churchill will face the top section's No. 2 seed, Walt Whitman, in Friday's Section I final. The Vikings won the teams' regular-season contest in overtime. The Section I winner will play the winner of the Section II final between Quince Orchard and Thomas S. Wootton next week.
"From the beginning, even before I joined the [Churchill] team, everyone knew B-CC was our biggest rival," said Churchill junior leading scorer Sarah Johnston, who scored in the second half Tuesday. "From beating them in the regular season my freshman year and then them coming back and winning the region final, that was devastating. It's just the rivalry, we know we're always going to have to put in 110 percent every single time we play against them. They're so good, they can beat anyone."
Unlike in the teams' previous match this fall, Churchill was the aggressor from the start Tuesday and B-CC (12-2-1) seemed uncharacteristically shaky. Churchill led 1-0 at halftime off junior forward Kate Reese's goal midway through the period but the Bulldogs were inches from a 3-0 lead.
B-CC sophomore goalie Naomi Gross made an incredible save on a shot that was shot down off the crossbar and nearly over the goal line shortly after Reese's score. Reese had the Barons' extremely stingy defense beat again in the final three minutes of the first half and with the goal completely empty and Gross off her mark, bent a 20-yard shot right at the frame. Just as the ball was about to roll in Barons junior defender Maia Emden came darting toward the left post and got a foot on it, deflecting the ball out.
"[Churchill] played great, give them all the credit," B-CC coach Rob Kurtz said. "They came out and had a great game plan and executed. You can have a great season but when you get to playoffs it's can you play to win and not, not to lose. I think we played more not to lose tonight. I think [the girls] were thinking a little bit about what it would be like if we didn't win rather than taking care of business now. It's been an incredible run for us. I think a lot of these girls are lucky to think it just happens naturally and it doesn't."
Churchill picked up right where it left off to start the second half, keeping pressure on B-CC. Johnston doubled the Bulldogs' lead five minutes into the second half on a 20-yard shot that ricocheted off the left post into the net.
Neither team had too many actual shots on goal but Churchill managed its time in the offensive third better than its opponent, which strayed from its typical possession style offense, Tuesday.
"These games, it's so important to take advantage of all the chances you have because you're not going to get a lot of chances," Reese said. "[Scoring early] gave us an adrenaline rush but we knew it was nowhere near over, B-CC could easily come back. I believe we do have the skill to get out of the region but we just have to build off what we did in this game. We have to play a full game [against Whitman] and not make any mistakes. We're ready for some revenge after [they beat us in playoffs] last year."

be installed from inside of window frame on left to inside of
window frame on right. Round the measurement down to the nearest
1/8". A minimum depth of 2 7/8" is needed to install inside the
Find Height
Measure from the inside top of the opening on the left, at
the center, and on the right to the sill; round the measurement
down to the nearest 1/8" and note the smallest dimension. Do not
make any allowances: the factory will make all adjustments so the
headrail will fit the opening properly and the vanes will clear
the sill by 1/4" to 1/2".
NOTE: Estate Valance not available inside
*Minimum mounting depth is the depth required, in
the window frame, for the blind to be mounted inside mount.
Measure the width of the area to be covered at the place
where the headrail will be installed to the nearest 1/8". Blind
should overlap opening at least 4" on each side to ensure privacy.
To maintain the maximum view, allow adequate overlap and consider
the stack width.
Measure the height of the area to be covered and round down
to the nearest 1/8". Blind should extend at least 3" above and 3"
below opening or window moulding. For ceiling-to-floor
installations, make adequate allowance for carpeting. Specifying
outside mount measurement means the factory makes no allowances.
Measure the width of the area to be covered at the place
where the headrail will be installed to the nearest 1/8". Blind
should overlap opening at least 4" on each side to ensure privacy.
To ensure easy access through the door and allow adequate overlap,

A homeless woman was found dead in Laurel as police in Anne Arundel County were clearing out a homeless camp impacted by significant flooding in the Laurel area.
According to Anne Arundel police, the woman was found floating near Laurel-Fort Meade Road and Racetrack Road, outside Laurel's city limits, where there are several homeless tents.
Within the city, a mandatory evacuation in Laurel could still occur as flooding may last for days following the severe Wednesday thunderstorms that hit the region overnight, said Mayor Craig Moe.
Moe said an evacuation center has been set up at Robert J. Dipietro Community Center at 7901 Cypress St. in Laurel though said no one is using the center as of Thursday afternoon.
Moe advised residents near Main Street and other parts of the city along the Patuxent River to evacuate the area saying that as water continues downstream, flood levels could rise.
"We're preparing for the worst, but hoping for the best," Moe said.
Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission officials were forced to release water from Brighton Dam in Brookeville and the T. Howard Duckett Dam in Laurel, which has caused the extensive flooding in the area, said Lyn Riggins, a WSSC spokeswoman.
The city has posted updates and a map of the recommended evacuation area on its website.
Residents and businesses near the river on Fourth and Avondale streets are strongly urged to evacuate, said Laurel police officer Jesse Cunningham.
Cunningham also said that Route 198/Fort Meade Road west of the intersection with Route 197/Laurel-Bowie Road was closed, and Anne Arundel County Police were engaged in a rescue operation of homeless people at the bridge between Laurel and Anne Arundel County.
Pete Piringer, a city spokesman, said there was a "tent city" of homeless people at the bridge that was cleared out as water levels began rising. He did not have details regarding the number of persons rescued or evacuated.
Piringer said he believes 200 to 300 people have left the area and said 2,000 to 3,000 homes could be affected as city officials predict more flooding.
WSSC spokesman Jim Neustadt said the dam often releases small amounts of water, but it has been over 20 years since something of this magnitude this has occurred.
According to WSSC officials, the overnight rainfall of up to six inches was more than double what was expected, causing the normal level of the Patuxent River to rise significantly.
Neustadt said the release of water from the dams is a precautionary measure to protect the dam structures.
"We do this occasionally after big rain storms," Neustadt said. "It is now an emergency, but this is a standard procedure for anything like this."
Piringer said the city is also experiencing intermittent power outages and some fallen branches as a result of the flooding.
Earlier Thursday, the National Weather Service issued flood warnings for Prince George's, Anne Arundel and Howard counties and that warning.
"We're somewhat used to flooding, but not to this magnitude," Moe said.
City officials said they are predicting flood water to remain in the area for several days.
Laurel resident Jane Benner, 55, who lives just off Main Street near the Patuxent River, said she's lived in Laurel her whole life and is not worried about flooding.
"I understand the city's concerned for safety of the citizens, but visually I don't see that there's anything wrong," she said. "I am concerned though that when water does come through the flood gates that peoples' vehicles will be safe."

John Warren Gibson Jr., 25, of Lusby is being held without bond at the Calvert County Detention Center in connection with the suspected murder of a 27-year-old Lusby woman, who was his girlfriend.
Gibson was arrested Feb. 1 and charged with murder. After allegedly admitting to stabbing Amanda Lynn Foster with a kitchen knife during an argument about dishes Jan. 12, Gibson led police to a wooded area south of Leonardtown in St. Mary's County on Feb. 1, where police said in a press release they found Foster's body wrapped in a blanket in a trash can in the woods.
Martha Bliss, Foster's grandmother, said she called the police Jan. 31 at 8:11 p.m. Bliss said several friends and family members were concerned that Foster might be missing because they had not seen Foster in several weeks and were receiving strange text messages from her cellphone that Bliss said were "not like" Foster.
"I made the call [to police] Thursday night and that was probably the longest night of my life," Bliss said during a phone interview Monday morning. "I probably got maybe two or three hours of sleep, and then [Det. Rich] came about 10 o'clock [Friday] morning and told us. I'm still numb. I don't know how long that's going to last. Never in our wildest dreams did we imagine this."
Rich, of the Calvert Investigative Team, was called in to assist in the investigation after troopers from the Maryland State Police Prince Frederick barrack went to Foster's home to try and talk to her. No one was at the San Jose Lane home and Foster did not answer her cellphone, according to charging documents.
Troopers learned her blue Ford pick-up truck had frequently been seen parked at a home on H.G. Trueman Road in Lusby. Troopers went to the residence where they found Foster's boyfriend, Gibson. According to charging documents, troopers "discovered various inconsistencies" in Gibson's statement and requested assistance from C.I.T.
Rich arrived at the H.G. Trueman Road home at 10:30 p.m. Jan. 31 and spoke to Gibson directly. Rich said he asked Gibson a series of questions to clarify some of the inconsistencies in Gibson's statement, and the interview "confirmed several statements which seemed to be unsupported by either logic or known facts," charging documents state.
Gibson told Rich he dropped Foster off at WaWa in California, Md., at 9:30 a.m. and had a telephone conversation with her at 11:30 p.m. the previous day. After Rich completed the interview, Gibson allegedly said he would continue to try to call Foster and "if any information was learned he would call me."
Shortly after midnight, Rich went to Foster's home, where Foster's mother was waiting. Foster lived in the basement of a home shared by two other people. All three told Rich they had frequent contact with Foster on a daily basis and that the contact "suddenly ceased" on about Jan. 10. They told Rich they had received messages after Jan. 10, but that the "nature, content, diction, symbol use, and/or greetings/signoffs" of the text messages were "significantly different and uncharacteristic of her text messages," according to charging documents. The last time Foster's mother spoke to her on the telephone, charging documents state, was Jan. 10.
Bliss said this is what made her, along with other friends and family members, worried that something was wrong with Foster.
"The wording was very suspicious," Bliss said of text messages she received from her granddaughter's phone after Jan. 10.
Bliss said Foster would pick up her mail at her mother's house but hadn't done so in about three weeks despite requests from her mother urging her to do so. Bliss said Foster also owed her money for several bills. When Bliss sent Foster a text message about needing the money, Bliss said she received a response that Foster would stop by to give it to her but she never showed up.
Since Rich could not locate anyone, other than Gibson, who may have talked to or seen Foster after Jan. 10, he conducted a search of Foster's home at 1:10 a.m. Feb. 1, charging documents state. Foster's two housemates accompanied Rich during the search. Rich asked one of the housemates, who frequently walks through the basement area to do laundry, if any furniture was missing or looked out of place. The housemate said the futon pad was missing and the futon frame had been moved, and also pointed out a large blue chair that had not previously been in the room.
Two spots of what troopers believe to be dried blood splatters were found on one of the walls near the blue chair, according to charging documents.
On the card table next to the blue chair was Foster's credit card and Gibson's driver's license. Investigation revealed her credit card was still being used through January and the frequency and amounts spent per transaction throughout the month had "substantially increased," charging documents state.
Bliss said the credit card was listed in her name and she had given the card to Foster during college. She said Foster was the only one who ever used the card.
Through Foster's cellphone provider, troopers triangulated the location of her cellphone, which was located at the home on H.G. Trueman Road where police had first talked to Gibson.
Rich said he went back to the H.G. Trueman Road home at about 3 a.m. and asked Gibson to go to the sheriff's office for further questioning, which he agreed to do. Gibson allegedly waived his Miranda Rights and told Rich he and Foster became involved in an argument over dishes on either Jan. 11 or 12. He said the argument became "heated," so he grabbed a kitchen knife. Foster "came toward him … in a nonviolent manner" and Gibson stabbed her in the chest, charging documents state.
Foster collapsed on the floor, Gibson said, and he "knew that she was dead after just 'ten seconds,'" according to charging documents. He then wrapped Foster's body in a blanket, put her in a large trash can and took her body to St. Mary's County. Gibson said he would take police to the location of the body and that the knife used to kill her was with her remains, according to police.
At 8:45 a.m., Gibson directed investigators to Hanover Beach Lane in Leonardtown, according to charging documents. Foster's body was found in a large, dark grey trash can hidden under some brush. The lid on the trash can was wired shut, police said, but when opened, they found Foster's body inside, charging documents state. Foster's body was taken to the Maryland Medical Examiner's Office in Baltimore for an autopsy.
Bliss said she was very close with her granddaughter. She said she and Foster would "do a lot of shopping together" and often traveled together. Bliss said Foster loved to spend time by the water.
"She loved to go swimming in the pool. I used to take her down to the Solomons Landing pool … or when the Chesapeake Hills Golf Course had a pool, I'd take her there a lot," Bliss said. "I used to love it when she would come to my house for a weekend, and she loved to go down to the beach and just walk along the water."
Although Foster attended Barton College in Wilson, N.C., and St. Mary's College of Maryland to study math, she was working as a waitress at a restaurant in California, Md., at the time of her death. Bliss said Gibson also was once employed at the same restaurant, and that is where the two met. Bliss said Foster and Gibson had only been dating about three months but Gibson had attended several family functions with Foster, including Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners.
Rich with the Calvert County Sheriff's Office and Sgt. Jones with MSP are continuing the investigation. Anyone with additional information can contact them at 410-535-1600, ext. 2765 or ext. 2455.

This story was updated at 5 p.m.. Nov. 25, 2013.
The day after 25-year-old Michael Kirby Alvarado died on a sidewalk in Gaithersburg after being shot in the head, police arrested the Silver Spring man they say pulled the trigger.
Police charged Jefferson Daniel Delgado, 20, with first-degree murder Friday.
On Monday, prosecutors asked at a court hearing that he be held without bail.
Assistant State's Attorney Mary Herdman said Delgado was a flight risk and said police had recovered a gun that they believed had been used in the slaying.
John Lavigne, Delgado's attorney, asked District Court Judge Barry A. Hamilton that a bail be set for Delgado, a contractor who he said lives in the area but had been working in Florida. Police have said he lived on Quebec Terrace, but online court records list an address for him at Dawson Avenue. Hamilton denied Lavigne's request.
Police have not shed light on what might have motivated Alvarado's killing.
Several members of Delgado's family attended the hearing, but declined to speak to reporters.
Alvarado's slaying sent investigators combing the area around the Streamside Apartments complex on North Summit Avenue last week in search of suspects. Initially, police were looking for two men — one dressed in all black, and one dressed in a black and white striped shirt. The shooting and manhunt had four local schools in a "shelter in place" or lockdown status Thursday. According to Delgado's charging documents, police identified and spoke with one of the men, who then identified Delgado as the shooter.
Police arrested Delgado at around 8 p.m. Friday in Silver Spring when they stopped a car he was in. Delgado tried to flee during the stop, according to a statement police released detailing his arrest.
Alvarado made his mark at Gaithersburg High School as a scholar athlete, earning a full scholarship to the College of William & Mary in 2006, according to his former high school football coach Kreg Kephart.
"The news of this hit me like I was punched in the gut. Michael was one of the finest leaders we have ever had on this team," Kephart said, recalling one speech Alvarado made before a game against Damascus High School. Kephart said Alvarado asked to give the pre-game talk and pulled out a full-page speech he read to his team.
"It was as good or better than anything I could have done," Kephart said.
Alvarado, who was co-captain of his high school team, was named to the county's 2005 All-Gazette football team and the Washington Post's 2005 All Met team.
At William & Mary, Alvarado played nickelback on the 2009 squad that made it to the national semifinals of the Football Champion Series, according to the college's athletic department spokesperson Pete Clawson. He played for the school from 2006 to 2009.
"He had a good personality and from my perspective was always pretty easy to deal with," Clawson said.
Kevin Parrish, a Gaithersburg High math teacher and former basketball coach, remembered Alvarado as a player who had unlimited potential.
"He was one of the most athletic kids we had. If he had wanted to play basketball in college he could have done that too," Parrish said. "He was so full of life...this is just really sad."
Alvarado's homicide sent four nearby schools into lockdown while investigators scoured the streets with K-9 teams and helicopters in search of two people who witnesses said they saw leaving the crime scene on foot Thursday afternoon.
Capt. Jim Daly, a county police spokesman, said police get many calls to that area because it's densely populated.
A preliminary hearing for Delgado has been set for Dec. 20.

A diabetes workshop, free this week at the Lexington Park branch of the St. Mary's County Library, is designed to help participants identify simple steps they can take to address their disease.
"Seven Healthy Habits of People with Diabetes" is offered quarterly by MedStar St. Mary's Hospital and addresses behavior, diet, exercise and medication. The next workshop is Friday, Feb. 8 from 1 to 3:30 p.m. Pre-registration is required.
"When people make small changes, it can make a big difference in their diabetes," said Tina Leap, a registered nurse and diabetes educator at MedStar St. Mary's.
The workshops attract participants who have been living with the disease for some time. Others are newly diagnosed, frightened and upset. "Part of what we do is make sure they feel comfortable," Leap said.
The group covers stress management, said Becky Sutay, a dietician who also helps promote diabetes awareness through the hospital. "If you're stressed a lot, that could be raising your blood sugar. It also makes living with diabetes more difficult." If people worry excessively, they get overwhelmed, she said. Sometimes, they give up trying to manage their disease.
Other steps covered include monitoring blood sugar levels; eating healthy food, such as whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables; and getting healthy proteins, such as lean meats, chicken, fish, nuts, eggs and dried beans.
Staying active and always improving one's fitness level is key, Sutay said. Students are reminded to take medication properly and reduce risks such as smoking and drinking, which can impair judgment. Diabetes educators also help workshop participants solve problems affecting the impact of diabetes, such as what to do if blood sugar is always high at a certain time.
The hospital also will offer blood glucose screenings March 26 at the Lexington Park library from 9 to 11 a.m.
A separate, free diabetes prevention class is conducted quarterly. The next sessions are scheduled April 12 at the Lexington Park library from 1 to 3 p.m., and April 13 at MedStar St. Mary's Hospital from 1 to 3 p.m.
The incidence of diabetes in St. Mary's County is about the same as the national average, about 7 to 8 percent of the population. But, Leap said, more St. Mary's residents are likely to die from the disease than people nationwide.
One of the problems is that Type 2 diabetes can occur without symptoms, Leap said. When left untreated, it can damage blood vessels, making them less pliable, leading to high blood pressure. Plaque and clots can occur, hampering circulation and possibly leading to heart disease and stroke. Diabetes can also lead to circulation problems in lower extremities, making it difficult for people to feel their feet. The disease can damage the kidneys, compromising the body's ability to filter waste, possibly leading to kidney disease, dialysis and the need for a kidney transplant.
"When you're dealing with a chronic illness 24/7," Leap said, "it can be a daunting task." People with Type 2 diabetes are twice as likely to suffer from clinical depression, which often needs to be treated along with the diabetes. Fluctuating blood sugar levels also can lead to mood swings, she said.
People with a family history of diabetes should see their doctors every three months for blood glucose screenings, Leap said. Regular urine tests, dilated eye exams and foot exams also are critical.
Even a modest amount of weight loss, between 5 and 7 percent of body weight, can help improve blood sugar levels. People can do this by finding a physical activity that they like, and doing it almost every day. Any type of activity is a good start. Fitness novices can start with just 10 minutes of walking each day and build up to the recommended daily 30 minutes of activity.
Diabetes educators, Leap said, hope to help people who have "lost their way a little bit ... We have to try to work on one thing at a time."

Yes No pretty good camera Written By aviationjunkie, Indianapolis, IN on Thursday, May 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The camera takes great pictures. It is a good point and shoot camera. I really like the wifi features of this camera. It is easy to send a pic to the computer or my iphone. The problem I have with it is that it is too small. The buttons are small and close together. The place where you hold to zoom in and out is so small it feels awkard. I would have returned the camera because of the size issue alone but my wife will be the primary user and she loves it. Pros: wonderful picture quality, wifi capability Cons: too small, does not feel comfortable in hands 6 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Nice Features Written By JohnW, Blacksburg, VA on Saturday, April 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought camera as a lightweight travel camera. I have not used it much yet, but have been impressed by the new features--wi-fi connectivity and remote control via my iPod. Picture quality is very good. I had one problem trying to plug the power cord into the mini-HDMI socket on the bottom (instead of the micro-USB socket hidden under the door on the side). That happened when I failed to read the manual to see where all the features were located--my fault entirely. I bought an extra battery and HDSD card at the same time. I think it will serve my purposes very well and lighten my load by not having to carry my SLR on a major trip coming up. 9 out of 10 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Exposure Adjustment: You can adjust the exposure manually in 1/3 EV steps in a range of -2.0 EV to +2.0 EV to correct problems of over- or under-exposure. Self-Timer: You can set the Self-Timer mode to a 10-second or 2-second delay so you can be in the picture or to help prevent blur. In addition, the self-timer can be used in conjunction with the face detection feature, allowing you to take a self-portrait by yourself or with one other person. When set to Self-portrait, the camera beeps when it detects the specified number of faces, and the shutter operates 2 seconds later. Auto Focus: The camera has a Multi-point Auto Focus. This method is helpful when your subject is not centered in the frame. You can also choose Center-weighted AF, which focuses only on the subject framed in the AF range finder in the center of the image, or Spot AF, which focuses on an extremely small subject or a narrow area. You can also select Tracking Focus and Face Tracking Focus. AF Illuminator: The AF (auto focus) Illuminator briefly provides fill light to focus more easily on a subject in dark surroundings. The camera emits red light to allow it to focus easily when the shutter button is presses halfway, until the focus is locked. Face Detection: Face Detection technology detects up to eight individual faces and controls flash, focus, exposure, and white balance to deliver accurate, natural skin tones with reduced red-eye. The camera can automatically select the faces to focus on, or you can select the face in a particular area of the frame by touching the screen. It can also give priority to children or adults. The camera's Face Motion Detection adjusts ISO sensitivity and accelerates the shutter speed when facial movement is detected, reducing blur in the subjects face. Anti-Blink Function: The Anti-blink function works to help counter blinking and squinting. When the camera is set to Soft Snap, the Anti-blink function captures two images, recording only the photo with less squinting. If a blink is detected in other shooting modes, a warning will be displayed after you take the shot so you can determine whether or not you need to take another shot. Smile Shutter Mode: The Smile Shutter technology automatically detects and captures a smiling face. Simply activate by pressing the Smile Shutter button and the camera will capture a smile the moment it happens. You can also set the degree of Smile Detection Sensitivity to Slight Smile, Normal Smile or Slight Smile. Shooting Modes: The DSC-WX80 offers several shooting modes, selectable with the rear-mounted Control Wheel.

Choices include: HDR Painting, Richtone, Monochrome, Miniature, Toy Camera, Pop Color, Partial Color, Soft High-key, Watercolor, and Illustration. Background Defocus: This mode allows you to shoot an image with image processing so that the background and the subject stands out. Mode Switch: The camera has a 3-way slide switch on the back for switching from Still Image Mode to Movie Mode to Sweep Panorama mode. Metering Modes: You can select Spot, Center-weighted, or Multi-pattern Metering. Spot metering lets you adjust the exposure to the subject, even when the subject is a backlit or when there is strong contrast between the subject and the background. Center-weighted metering measures the center of the image and determines the exposure based on the brightness of the subject. When multi-pattern metering is used, the image is divided into multiple regions and metering is performed in each region. The camera judges the subject position and background brightness, and determines a well-balanced exposure. Sensitivity: You can select up to nine ISO settings (Auto, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400, and 12800) when shooting in Program Auto Mode to adjust sensitivity to your shooting conditions. Built-in Flash: The built-in flash has a range of 7-7/8" to 13 feet 9-3/8" with the zoom set to wide and 4' 11-1/8" to 7 feet 2-5/8 inches with the zoom set to telephoto. The flash can be set to the following modes: Off, Auto, On, Slow Synchro, and Advanced. In addition, this camera has a "red-eye reduction" setting, which causes the flash to pre-strobe before shooting to reduce the red-eye phenomenon. White Balance: When the white balance is set to auto, the white balance is set automatically in response to the condition of the subject, and the overall color balance is adjusted. When using flash, you can select the Flash White Balance mode. In addition to Auto and Flash, the white balance can be set to Incandescent, Fluorescent 1 (white fluorescent), Fluorescent 2 (natural white fluorescent), Fluorescent 3 (day white fluorescent), Daylight, Cloudy, One Push (adjust white balance depending on the light source) or One Push Set (memorizes the basic white color which will be used). Grid Lines: The cameras on-screen grid lines make it easy to set a subject's horizontal and vertical position. Function Guide: An on-screen function guide text/icon display makes it easy to learn the camera functions that give you greater creative freedom to adjust photo settings. Play, Edit, and Print Functions Index/Date Mode: In addition to viewing images one-by-one in full screen, you can view multiple images at once in the index or date list mode.

Each effect has a preset music soundtrack, or you can choose from the 4 selections. The interval between the pictures can be adjusted, allowing you to choose 1, 3, 5, and 10 seconds or automatic to suit the selected effect.

You can also record the enlarged item as a new file. To select the area to be enlarged, you can move the enlargement "frame" up/down/left/right with the arrow buttons, and adjust the zoom with the W/T button. You cannot enlarge movies or images recorded in multi-burst mode. Rotating Images: Recorded images can be rotated 360-degrees in 90-degree increments on the camera's LCD screen. Retouching Images: The Retouch Menu allows you to make adjustments of a still image or apply special effects. The following effects can be applied to still images: Trimming: you can crop images to remove unwanted portions Red Eye Correction: removes red-eye effect caused by flash Unsharp Masking: sharpens the image within a chosen frame Music Transfer: You can change the music files that are preset at the factory with your own music, using the Music Transfer program in the supplied CD-ROM.

A little more than a year ago, old World War II-era munitions were discovered on the shoreline at Newtowne Neck State Park. The park in Compton has been closed to the public ever since, and just last week was used by a bomb squad as a site to explode a World War I-era mine found in Hollywood.
But the park was not intended to be a proving ground.
The Maryland Department of Natural Resources bought the 790-acre property in 2009 for $14 million for public use of the natural, cultural, historical and recreational features of the park, bounded by Breton Bay, the Potomac River and St. Clement Bay.
At least 25 pieces of ordnance were found through December 2011 to January 2012 and detonated on site, which brought planning for the park's use to a dead halt.
The St. Mary's County commissioners recently asked the state what the status of the park was. John R. Griffin, secretary of the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, wrote on Dec. 20, that there has been no change in the park's status. DNR is working with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to assess the military activity that once was located at Newtowne Neck and the danger it may pose now.
"In our ongoing communications with the Army, we have learned that the necessary research is a lengthy and painstaking process, and we have not been provided with a definite time line for completion," Griffin wrote. "Future planning for the site may very well be affected by the response to our request for a Formerly Used Defense Site (FUDS) determination, which is dependent on the outcome of the aforementioned research. Until we have that, everything is essentially on hold."
Andrea Takash, public affairs specialist for the Army Corps of Engineers, Baltimore District, said this week that research continues on the kinds of activities that took place at Newtowne Neck during World War II.
"We're working through a very thorough process right now," she said, working with the Navy to collect documents from several different locations. "There's so many documents," she said, "definitely archive work. We're still working with the Navy."
If the park is designated as a Formerly Used Defense Site, federal dollars become available for actual site investigation, assessment and how best to respond, she said. That could entail a full cleanup or placing signs to make visitors aware of what could be found.
The (Baltimore) Sun first reported what went on at Newtowne Neck on Nov. 25, 1945, just a few months after World War II ended. The remote location was a secret testing ground for proximity fuses, which were used in anti-aircraft artillery. There is still a bunker at the park, that was used for cover during the testing.
After the testing was finished, the land reverted back to farming under the ownership of the Jesuits.
Christy Bright, park manager for the Maryland Department of Natural Resources, said this week it made sense for the local bomb squad to detonate the mine at Newtowne Neck since no one is supposed to be there. "It still is closed to all public," she said, and state staff only do minimal upkeep there for the time being.
No hunting is allowed at the park either, except for waterfowl hunting, which must be done by boat, offshore.
A woman who rented a house near the water on the site before the state bought the land, still resides there, and there is no termination date on that lease with the state, Bright said.
No further munitions have been found at Newtowne Neck since the park was closed, but if someone finds something, they need to recognize, retreat and report it to 911, Bright said.
As for the reopening the park to the public, "It is going to happen one day. Once the park does open back up, we're going to continue in the park planning," she said.
So while the Army Corps of Engineers continues its research, "We would love it if no more munitions are found," she said.
Jack Russell (D), president of the St. Mary's County commissioners, said Thursday he understands why the park remains closed and is in no hurry to see it reopened. "They gotta look at this ordnance first. They're just trying to be safe," he said.
