Montgomery County's bag tax might have reduced waste in Rock Creek and generated about $2.5 million for stormwater projects, but some County Council members say it needs to be scaled back.
"We drew the line. What we're telling you is we now need to redraw the line," Councilman Craig Rice said.
"My own sense is that we've overreached a bit, but I don't know how easy it is going to be to draw a line," Councilman Roger Berliner said.
Rice and Berliner were among the four council members who questioned Robert Hoyt, director of the county Department of Environmental Protection, on Thursday during the council's Transportation Infrastructure Energy and Environment committee discussion about the tax's effectiveness and application, and if it was changing behavior as intended.
Anecdotes on the tax varied.
Rice told of grocery store security stopping him to ask if he paid for his items bagged in a reusable bag and of retailers having to put security tags on all their merchandise to avoid theft because patrons are more likely to place items in their own bags while they shop.
Berliner, who chairs the committee, said bringing reusable bags to the mall or Home Depot is not something most people will get used to doing.
Hoyt said there is no difference between a plastic bag in a stream that came from a grocery store and one that came from a Home Depot and that residents actually do go to the mall with their reusable bags in tow.
"I go in swinging my bag so people look at me," Hoyt said.
"But you are weird," Berliner (D-Dist. 1) of Bethesda told Hoyt.
"Understood," Hoyt replied.
Montgomery began levying a 5-cent tax on most carry-out bags January 2012 to help change residents' attitudes from blasé to environmentally conscious and to reduce the number of bags in waterways.
Depending on who you ask, behavior is changing.
Hoyt called the tax "one of the most successful programs" the county has had. He said all of the feedback has been positive.
Montgomery County expects to collect $2.5 million from taxes on about 60 million bags in fiscal year 2013. The money goes into the county's Water Quality Protection Fund, to pay for stormwater projects.
Beth Mullin of the Rock Creek Conservancy said in a January email that since enactment of bag legislation, the number of bags her organization finds in and along Rock Creek has dropped dramatically.
"Between April 2011 and April 2012, the number of plastic bags collected in Montgomery County dropped from 5,274 to 3,957, a decline of 25% just a few months after the bag law went into effect," she wrote. "Our cleanup leaders report that in many areas their sites are significantly cleaner than in past years, and our numbers back that up."
But Rice (D-Dist. 2) of Germantown said it is also burdening some county retailers.
He told of his discussions with a manager at a Popeyes restaurant whose location switched from plastic take-out bags, which are taxed by the county, to paper bags, which are not. But the high cost of paper bags forced the restaurant to eliminate all bags, Rice said. Its customers now juggle boxes of chicken and fries as they head out the door.
Councilwoman Nancy Floreen (D-At large) of Garrett Park questioned taxing plastic bags at restaurants, which, so often, are necessary to contain drippy takeout orders.
Customers don't have the luxury of a reusable bag or forgoing a bag when picking up takeout that spills or that's leaky, she said.
Robert Hagedoorn, the county treasury chief, said about half of the bags taxed by the county come from grocery stores — the one place council members thought a bag tax was appropriate.
But Berliner questioned if the broad tax was fostering animosity at other retailers.
"My concern is that it breeds resentment," Berliner said.
Berliner supported creating the tax in 2011 and said he believes it is changing behaviors at the grocery store, but admitted that even he gets angry when he is taxed for a bag at the mall.
"I have questions as to whether or not somebody walking into a Macy's should be expected to bring in a reusable bag," he said. "It just doesn't strike me as intuitively obvious that that's where we get either a big change in behavior or our bang for our buck. And then it begins to feel like a nuisance tax as opposed to a change in people's behavior and I don't feel like we want to put ourselves in that position."
Hoyt said a year into the tax is too early to talk about scaling it back, a sentiment shared by Councilman Hans Riemer (D-At large) of Takoma Park.
After a couple of more years of the tax, people will be comfortable bringing bags to stores, knowing that four of the five cents they paid will help the environment, Riemer said.
Hoyt likened pushback on the tax to what the county heard decades ago when it first implemented a recycling program. Now, recycling is accepted, he said.
Despite concerns raised by council members that the tax needs to be tweaked, Berliner said he has not decided if he will propose amendments to the bag tax law.
"I want to take this in," he said. "I'm thinking."
The committee asked for more data from the county and a survey to show details on where the tax is collected.

text: Film overview faculty program organizations after graduation Although the film program is housed within the English department, the film minor is interdisciplinary, involving collaboration and cross-pollination among a number of departments and programs. The classes that are run through the English department focus mainly on analysis, treating films as texts. But since films can illustrate much about the historical and cultural contexts in which they were produced, studying film can add a dimension to any course of study; and anyone can minor in film, regardless of major. Film as a medium has been used for an endless variety of purposes: films entertain us and provide a temporary escape into the lives of others; but they can deliver messages about life and philosophy; and they can be used to enlighten and inform. Film is an art form and its aesthetics capture us: for a couple hours or so, we are part of the microcosm that it creates and that our minds temporarily treat as reality. Studying film is a multifaceted endeavor that encompasses an understanding of cultural, historical and technological contexts. Even a film with the sole purpose of entertainment can relate a lot of information about humanity's concern at the time. For example, the optimistic, extravagantly happy worlds of many of the films made during the great depression offer a stark contrast to the public's general state of poverty and pessimism. As a medium that engages psychology, history, politics, culture, emotion and aesthetics, film has become one of the most influential and beloved art forms, and individual films have become time capsules of cultures at particular moments in time.

Ensure your body receives necessary creatine levels with this natural and easily absorbed supplement.
Creatine, naturally produced in the human body from amino acids primarily in the kidney and liver, is transported in the blood for use by muscles as energy.
Approximately 95% of the human body's total creatine is located in tissues with high energy demands, such as the brain and skeletal muscles. Intense anaerobic exercise, such as weight lifting and sprinting, depletes adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and greatly increases the demand for creatine in muscles.

about us
Hello and thanks for visiting metro minis nyc. We carry great hand picked products related to babywearing and natural parenting. My name is Bianca and I am the founder, owner, online operation manager and basically doing most of the things behind the scene of metro minis. I am a babywearing enthusiast, yogini and mama to a 10 year old boy. My son was the inspiration to start spreading the babywearing love all around nyc and the world.
I had a very rough start finding a baby carrier that would work for me after my son was born in 2003. Finally successful, I dived into the wonderful world of "slinging" and founded the Slings in the City group. The goal was to help and find other parents that had the same passion like me: "babywearing". The group took off and the natural progression was to start selling baby carriers: First from my home, then on the web under Slingzilla and finally metro minis was born in 2007. Voila! For 6 years I had a retail location in NYC on 75th and Park Ave. It was an amazing learning experience and the metro minis team helped thousands of expecting and new parents to find the perfect baby carrier or baby sling. I am really proud that I was one of the people that started the babywearing movement in NYC.
In February 2013 I refocused metro minis to an education model and online store. We offer babywearing clinics in several places all over new york city. Please take a look at our schedule to see if we are in your neighborhood. We also travel to your home for private consultation. Have a bag of hand me down carriers? Or need guidance with what carrier would be best for your lifestyle metro minis can help.
Want to connect? My personal twitter, friend me on Facebook or follow me on Instagram.
I am working with two amazing fellow babywearing educators Koyuki and Tiffany please take a look at their biographies. We hope to see soon at one of our local events and if you are not in NYC stay tuned for our virtual classes and hang outs.
Spread the babywearing love :)

APIC 2012: A Positive Outlook For Asia's Petchem Industry
1:47 PM MDT | May 18, 2012 | —Natasha Alperowicz in Kuala Lumpur
Eramo: Asian demand will drive global growth. The state of the global petrochemical industry and strategies for chemical markets in Asia topped discussion at the Asia Petrochemical Industry Conference (APIC), which took place last week in Kuala Lumpur. APIC was attended by more than 1,400 delegates. Mark Eramo, v.p./chemical industry research and analysis at IHS Chemical, in an opening address at event's marketing seminars on May 17, said that global demand for basic chemicals and plastics would by 2020 reach 1 billion m.t./year, requiring 200 million...

Climb The Tallest Mountain In The World In 30 Mins
Mount Everest gets all the credit, but Hawaii's Mauna Kea (an idle volcano that's been around for, you know, a million years) is technically the world's tallest mountain. Technically. While it stands 13,800ft above sea level, more than two thirds of the hill is actually submerged underwater, which brings the total height to 33,136ft.

Back to School with Joan Miller
Buy it!
RiffMeter (66 votes)
Yes, it's that's time again—time to go back to school. And when it's time to choose with whom you'd like to go, the options are nearly limitless: your uncle Barney, Richard Simmons, that guy who sits in front of you at church and occasionally cleans his ears with his keys, Pruane2, Jewel, or possibly one of the Baldwins. Well, the idea that you should return to school accompanied by Joan Miller is given a fair and compelling hearing in the colorful short Back to School with Joan Miller. Yes, Joan Miller, designer extraordinaire, creator of dresses and suits that span an extraordinary range from conservative, plaid two-piece suits, to conservative plaid two-piece suits complemented by a hat. And BtSwJM offers not just two or three examples of her work, but rather a seemingly endless march of them, by the hundreds they come, one after another, modeled by strange-eyed shapeless women, driven relentlessly on by the sting of Joan Miller's whip.
Take notes, because there will be a test as Mike, Kevin and Bill go Back to School with Joan Miller.

Canadian Rapper DY Reported Missing in Mexico
Canadian rapper DY, born Forrest Schab, has been reported missing by his family, who last heard from him in more than three months.
The 26-year-old MC, whose rap name is an abbreviation of "Die Young," was recently signed to Canadian record label CP Records, and was preparing a followup to his popular club single 'Passenger,' when he made plans to fly to Mexico sometime in mid-August, and summarily disappeared without a trace.

Mission Type: Flyby
Launch Vehicle: 8K78 (no. T103-15)
Launch Site: Tyuratam (Baikonur Cosmodrome), U.S.S.R., NIIP-5 / launch site 1
Spacecraft Mass: c. 900 kg
Spacecraft Instruments: 1) imaging system and 2) magnetometer
-Deep Space Chronicle: A Chronology of Deep Space and Planetary Probes 1958-2000, Monographs in Aerospace History No. 24, by Asif A. Siddiqi
-National Space Science Data Center, http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/
This was the first of three "second generation" interplanetary probes (two flyby probes and one impact probe), designed to reach Mars, prepared by the Soviets for the late-1962 launch window.
Because of the repeated failures of the Blok L upper stage during deep space missions, engineers elected to outfit the stage for the Mars missions with supplementary control and measurement equipment. As a result, most of the scientific instruments were removed from the Mars spacecraft. The three missions were primarily technological test flights rather than scientific missions.
In this case, the Blok L interplanetary stage failed again. Just 17 seconds after trans-Mars injection ignition, the main engine (the S1.5400A1) turbopump exploded, destroying the payload. The problem was traced to leaking lubricant. As many as 24 fragments were later tracked, the largest of which reentered Earth's atmosphere on 29 October 1962. The original probe was designed to fly by Mars on 17 June 1963.

Step 1: Materials
* Arduino (I will be using the Uno)
* AVR Microcontroller (This tutorial will cover the ATtiny85 & ATmega644)
* Arduino IDE
* Breadboard
* Jumpers
Step 2: Setup
Step 3: Using Your Arduino ISP: Programming AVRs Without Bootloaders
To program the ATtiny85 using the Arduino ISP you must first add ATtiny85 support to the Arduino environment:
* Download attiny45_85.zip
* Unzip the folder
* Copy the folder to the Arduino IDE's Hardware folder
* Reopen the Arduino IDE, you should see the ATtiny85 in the Tools >> Board menu
Now connect your Arduino ISP to the ATtiny85 like the diagram below.
Open the Blink sketch, change every '13' to '0', select ATtiny85 from the Tools >> Board menu, and select the serial port that is your Arduino ISP. Now click on upload and your ATtiny will begin blinking the LED once it's done.
Step 4: Using Your Arduino ISP: Burning Bootloaders
To burn the bootloader to the ATmega644 you must first add ATmega644 support to the Arduino environment:
* Download the Sanguino hardware file
* Unzip the folder
* Copy the folder to the Arduino IDE's Hardware folder
* Open Hardware >> Sanguino >> boards.txt
* Change:
* 'sanguino.bootloader.file=ATmegaBOOT_644P.hex' to 'sanguino.bootloader.file=ATmegaBOOT_644.hex'
* 'sanguino.build.mcu=atmega644p' to 'sanguino.build.mcu=atmega644'
* Reopen the Arduino IDE, you should see Sanguino in the Tools >> Board menu
Now connect your Arduino ISP to the ATmega644 like the diagram below.
Select Sanguino from the Tools >> Board menu, and select the serial port that is your Arduino ISP. Now click on Tools >> Burn Bootloader >> w/ Arduino as ISP. If there is more than one 'w/ Arduino as ISP' just try each one until it works.
There is also another good tutorial titled:
"Arduino Uno R3 as a true ISP programmer for any Attiny and Atmega AVR"
I had the exact same problem when I was using Arduino as an ISP.
What I found is that arduino is trying to write data too fast.
You can fix it by selecting "Arduino NG or older" from the boards menu and "Arduino ISP" as a programmer. This will force ISP to write data at 19,2kbps instead of 57,6kbps. Hope it helps.
Check it out:
This actually works!
But I still have a question with the time. Now, I used the blink program to test it out. Blinking a led 1000 ms on and 1000 ms off. At least so is it written in the code. The actual blinking is rather 8 seconds on and 8 seconds off.
Probably something with some different oscillator inside. (I used ATtiny2313)
Do you maybe know a proper way to adjust this?
(ok, I can divide everything by 8 but there is probably a better way.)
Problem uploading to Board.
avrdude: please define PAGEL and BS2 signals in the configuration file for part ATtiny85
avrdude: please define PAGEL and BS2 signals in the configuration file for part ATtiny85
avrdude: stk500_paged_write(): (a) protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x64
avrdude: stk500_cmd(): protocol error
I understand the first part can sometimes be ignored but I can assure you that the sketch isn't getting uploaded, any ideas?
Thank you very much for any help
I used your instruction to get a bootloader on an Atmega328p by using the Arduino uno with the Arduino Software release22 on a mac. But the only thing I get are some Error Codes like:
avrdude: stk500_getparm(): (a) protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x14
avrdude: stk500_getparm(): (a) protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x01
avrdude: stk500_initialize(): (a) protocol error, expect=0x14, resp=0x10
avrdude: initialization failed, rc=-1
Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
this check.
avrdude: stk500_disable(): unknown response=0x12
I did it like shown here:
But it doesn`t work......
Can you help me? :)
Version Arduino IDE 1.0 use ATtiny.zip
mixing them up makes a mess
I gave up doing the Internet Service Provider thing a long time ago also. This has more potential on the scale that I would operate.
Can you even put into words what your most creative product would be?
NOTE: Currently, you cannot use an Arduino Uno as an ISP programmer because the optiboot bootloader does not support this sketch. A revision for this is in progress.

Sports isn't life and death.
I get that.
But for every exciting game-winning basket, or late reversal for a state title — as demonstrated by Creston/O-M's Keaton Hulett — we cover just as many heartbreaking outcomes.
That's athletics. There's a winner and loser every time.
I have two such examples this week from Nodaway Valley at state, and SWCC's overtime regional tournament game here Wednesday.
I'll start with Nodaway Valley.
The Wolverines got a hard life and death lesson in the middle of their season, when assistant coach Dick Kohler suddenly lost his wife, Cindy.
This senior-laden group already had ample motivation to finish strong at the state tournament, but now they had extra incentive.
In fact, a plan had been cooked up by the players. If they achieved their goal of winning the school's second state title in seven years, they were going to start to move forward to receive the championship trophy.
Then, they were going to pause, and motion to coach Kohler to go up and receive it first. It was their way of honoring Cindy, and their beloved coach.
All-state center Alex Welsch was particularly close to Kohler, and took Tuesday's loss to Carroll Kuemper hard. He was visibly torn up immediately afterward.
Despite some early foul troubles that took away some of his intimidating shot-blocking presence, the 6-7 senior played his heart out with 16 points, 12 rebounds and eight blocks in the 61-54 loss.
"The participation trophy is not what these guys wanted," head coach Darrell Burmeister said 15 minutes after the final buzzer. "They wanted to do it for coach Kohler today. All the events that have happened in his life. It's a very sad locker room right now.
"It's going to take awhile for our seniors," Burmeister continued, "but they can look back and see it was a good era of Nodaway Valley basketball and they kept the tradition alive. Back-to-back Pride of Iowa Conference titles at 16-0. Our community support was terrific. It just would have been fun to have played two more games up here."
The game didn't go as planned after the Wolverines got off to an eight-point lead late in the first quarter.
Dean Frank was 3-of-4 on 3-pointers and Dan Ehrsam was 1-3 from behind the arc, and he's one of the best long-range shooters in the state. Their shot attempts were limited, but part of that could have been the attention paid to them by the tall Kuemper defense.
"Hands up all the time was really stressed," said 6-6 junior guard Cole Neary, also an all-state quarterback for the Knights' semifinal playoff team. "We had to close out on them and contest shots. They have great shooters."
Kuemper owned a 37-27 advantage on the boards, which took away some of Nodaway Valley's running game. You have to make stops and get defensive boards to get an outlet pass.
Sheldon's Dallas Ennema, a 6-7 D-I recruit (Albany), and 6-8 James Gradert negated Kuemper's size in Thursday's 49-42 semifinal victory over the Knights. (Sam Brincks and Neary, with 16-point averages, are among three returning starters next year.)
Meanwhile, T.J. Bower and reserves Zach Plymesser and Jackson Lamb will lead next year's Nodaway Valley team. News flash, there are some good shooters coming up at Nodaway Valley.
Burmeister will look back fondly at this group of nine seniors, including four starters — Welsch, Ehrsam, Frank and Brad Baudler — and top post reserve Tim Hansen.
"I can't say enough about them," Burmeister said. "When they were eighth-graders, if I needed someone to go to some of the team camps, I could always count on them. I never had any problem filling out teams these last four years. They weren't backing down from varsity competition.
"It was all supposed to build up for these last two years. They didn't quite get what they wanted, but how many teams go to state back-to-back years?"
It's not always easy doing interviews after teams have had their dream yanked from under their feet. NV's Welsch, Baudler and Bower could not have been more polite in the media room, and gracious with any reporters who approached them.
Something tells me those guys are going to be successful adults.
I've seen my share of disappointments at last-second shots bouncing off the target. Heck, our own family has felt that pain.
I had that same feeling for SWCC standout sophomore guard Marquealis Edwards Wednesday night. He's one of the best all-around talents we've seen in a Spartan uniform in a number of years, and many times I've seen him step up to the free throw line and drain two shots.
He does everything right. A set routine, with slow, deliberate dribbles, bend the knees as he eyes the target, then a nice follow-through on the release with a perfectly-arched shot.
So, when SWCC got the ball back with :06 left in overtime, trailing Iowa Central 61-60 in the regional opener, I thought something good would happen when I saw the ball go to "Q" for a drive to the basket. I figured he'd either score for the lead, or get fouled and, at worst, settle for one make and the tie.
With only :00.9 showing on the clock, Edwards went to the line after being fouled.
The first one was right on line, but just an inch or so short of climbing over the front of the rim. Then, with the gym as quiet as I've ever experienced during a game, he took a deep breath before attempting the second.
That fateful shot rattled around the rim for an agonizing moment, before falling away as the buzzer sounded. Stunned fans filed out in silence, as if leaving a funeral visitation.
Coach Mike Holmes noted the team had chances earlier to salt away the game in regulation, which would have sent the Spartans to Iowa Lakes in today's semifinals.
But that does little to console "Q," who collapsed in anguish on the bench. Teammates surrounded the all-region guard and tried to comfort him, and remind him they all had a hand in the outcome.
I'm sure those free throws will stick with Edwards for a long time. But nobody wants that to be the memory of one of the greats to wear a Spartan uniform. For two years I watched this sophomore-heavy squad perform with hustle and dignity, usually competing on even terms against better athletic talent.
Edwards, Delby Halcomb, Marcus Littleton, Devin Kastrup, Patrick Wright, Trevor Kayser, Patrick Negri and local products Chase Blazek (Creston) and Brett England (Diagonal) were in uniform for the final time Wednesday.
Only three freshmen return, so it will be a new-look Spartan team in 2013-14.
Harlan, 1-5 this season against Atlantic, Creston and Kuemper Catholic until beating Atlantic in the substate, is playing for a 3A state championship Saturday night.
"It gets you ready for this," coach Mitch Osborn said after Thursday's 45-42 win over MOC-Floyd Valley. "In a lot of our losses, we were right there, a bucket or two away. We just needed to be tougher, physically and mentally."
Nate Kloewer (6-2) fronted MOC 6-6 star Justin Van Kalsbeek, and 6-6 Trey Lansmen stayed in the lane for backside help. Van Kalsbeek had five points. He averages 16.4.
And 6-3 Harlan starter Gabe Ferry sat out the second half with the flu. They just seem to find a way.
The Hawkeye 10 stands proud, with two semifinalists and its top two finishers (Atlantic and Creston) not even here.
Harlan has four junior starters and Kuemper has three, including its two best players, so I guess we know there's work to be done to keep up with them.

My opinion on it is: Obama wanted to focus on small details and build a contrast with Romney. He wanted Romney to come across as someone who has no idea what he is promising. Problem is, Romney barreled over it, took control of the debate, and didnt let things like "facts" slow him down. Both sides repeated factual inaccurate information, but Obama was banking on one or two "revelations" to slow Romney down and Romney just charged on.
Bain, 47% comments, auto industry bailout....all just missed chances for Obama, who was clearly underprepared.

Terrorist attack count against the Anything Goes Thread: 4
Interesting to see Oblama outside of his bubble of protection and actually having to fends off ligitimate questions. Everybody kisses his ass so much I think he was even taken off gaurd and baffled with real confrontation. He's so far over his head he'd need a ladder to reach the belly of a snake.
And even more mysterious is that so many believe his crap.....Bad enough he's been adding to the destruction of the US, but his leading from behind in global matters sure is turning out great too. Think he thinks he can get the world blown up before he has to handle the economy. Kind of silly to try to convince people of his ineptitude after 4 years of seeing it and listening to all his excuses and blaming everyone else. President Oblamer
Well to all you O followers, no worries about the last debate theres an excuse around the corner, lets see how about Bushes fault....or even better it was the altitude in Denver or how about just saying he was better ya that's the ticket.......Next debate start thinking of some good excuses, because not only does he not understand Romney but he doesn't even understand his own friggin policies....
This isn't an election folks, this is an IQ test for our Country.........
Sorry but the mis-direction approach isn't working anymore, the folks are not that nieve. Kill the messenger because you have nothing of substance to stand on beside exhuberation over job numbers that are still just as unbelievably pathertic. Great job mister President 7.8% with 2 month left in his term.....We are all so thrilled at a accomplishment wow can't wait for another 4 years,...... and leading from behind in world affairs.....BRILLIANT.....Gee interesting concept leading from behind strange it's taken all these years to figure that one out..........lol
This says it all when people are satisfied or don't even see mediocrity, and I'm afraid mediocrity is giving to much credit
Interesting to me that after "Romney won" the big story of the post debate cycle has been about Big Bird.

Own a piece of history for your wall! This incredible print gives you a large-scale reproduction of a historic advertising poster from the early years of competitive racing. From Brett Horton's vast collection of vintage cycling posters and photography, this rare piece (original is worth thousands of dollars) features the official poster of the 1952 Tour of Catalonia, one of Europe's oldest annual races, and one of the few that continued throughout the war years. Sponsored by legendary European brands Pirelli and Cinzano, this print gives you a stylish and detailed look at the racing styles of the day, along with the details of the 32nd year of the Tour. From the brilliant action-packed graphics, to the slick vintage fonts, to the style of a more innocent era of the sport, this is both a historic work of vintage cycling art, and a beautiful piece for the wall of home or office! Reproduced faithfully to the original, and printed on heavy gallery-quality paper stock, this is perfect for framing, and will become the centerpiece of your cycling collection.

Guerrilla Marketing Increases Business
I was pondering the different ways you can manage the promotion of your product, service and website. (in bold below). I'm a guerilla marketer so pardon me if most of them are free if you have some skill at all in CRM and have someone help you install a template at least for your blog.
Start off with a marketing plan, a guide to your focus and direction needs to be in place. When you develop your marketing plan you will have identified a couple of things necessary to have a successful operation. The obvious, a dynamic business name, a business card, snappy logo and a market niche can all be drawn into a compelling identity with a focused brand.
So how does a guerrilla develop a marketing plan? Read the rest of this entry

Minority business executives hope changes in a state contracting program will open new opportunities for them.
House Bill 48 — one of three bills filed by Del. Barbara Robinson (D-Dist. 40) of Baltimore under review by the House Health and Government Operations Committee — would remove nonprofits from consideration for set-asides under the Minority Business Enterprise program. The committee read the bills this month and has scheduled a hearing at 1 p.m. Feb. 6.
Minority-owned business advocates have long challenged the state's reporting of MBE participation, saying that including nonprofits that deal with developmentally and physically disabled people skews the results. The state's Department of Transportation is responsible for certifying a business as an MBE.
Maryland procurement agencies overall contracted 23.8 percent, or more than $1.64 billion, of their work with minority-owned businesses in fiscal 2011, according to the Governor's Office of Minority Affairs. Cabinet procurement agencies achieved 24.2 percent, and Statestat reporting procurement agencies achieved 26 percent.
This is the highest level ever during the program's history; its goal is 25 percent. About $478 million of the 2011 amount, or 29.1 percent, went to certified nonprofits and community service providers.
"It overstates what the agencies have actually done," said Wayne Frazier, president of the Maryland Washington Minority Contractors' Association.
He said that while he does not want the government to hinder nonprofits, he would prefer to see them have their own separate set-asides and not be included as MBEs.
HB 48 would prohibit the state from counting nonprofit participation toward the state's MBE goal and exclude them from being eligible for MBE contract set-asides. Nonprofits that receive contracts through MBE set-asides before July 1 would be allowed to finish their contracts. A similar bill to adjust the way nonprofits are counted was also submitted last legislative session, but it received an unfavorable report from the House committee.
"A nonprofit does not qualify for MBE certification just by the sheer definition of MBE," Robinson said.
The state defines a minority business enterprise as a business that is organized to engage in commercial transactions, is at least 51 percent owned and is controlled by at least one socially and economically disadvantaged person who manages and handles the daily business operations.
Robinson said nonprofits can draw on numerous outside resources unavailable to commercial businesses. This disadvantage "cripples" MBEs competing with nonprofits for contracts, as nonprofits can get free space, property and staff donated to them, sometimes as a tax write-off.
Robinson has been a minority business owner for 30 years. She owns Star Associates, a human resources company in Baltimore.
"It's very hard to get contracts, even with our MBE status. Here, we're not just dealing with MBEs but with a lot of other factors. Not just anyone should have that status," said Nancy Kelbaugh, owner of All Pro Placement Service in Cockeysville. Kelbaugh said she has often had to bid so low to get a contract that she almost lost money on it.
LaVerne Johnson Reynolds, owner of Security Education Environmental Design Services in Temple Hills, said she has fought hard for contracts, being both black and a woman, so she understands having a vested interest in profit.
"It's not the same for nonprofits. They shouldn't be in the same arena as MBEs," she said. "They should have their own category."
Tony Hill, managing partner of Edwards & Hill Office Furniture in Columbia, agreed with removing nonprofits from MBE certification, but he questioned whether the state would have to offset the change by lowering the 25 percent MBE participation goal.
"There's not a lot of work in state business," he said. "I don't think there's such thing as truly level playing field because the dynamics are varied, but we should try to make it closer."
Robinson said nonprofits also have their own procurement preference areas that MBEs cannot use.
"Drive in your own lane," she said.
Nonprofit advocates acknowledge that the current system skews the results and welcome revisions, said Henry Bogdan, managing director of public policy and public affairs for Maryland Nonprofits, the industry's advocacy group in Maryland. But officials need to ensure these revisions do not come at the expense of nonprofits, he said.
His group has been working with state officials to come up with ways to improve the program to everyone's benefit, he said.
"We don't need this bill in order to change the way you count these things," Bogdan said. "We're hopeful that one way or another, something can be worked out."
Zenita Wickham Hurley, special secretary to the Governor's Office of Minority Affairs, weighed in on the bill.
"I believe removal of non-profit organizations from Maryland's MBE Program would benefit the program overall, as long as this action is accompanied by legislation or policy that supports the continuation of State procurement opportunities for this specialized group of organizations who work so hard to serve the needs of our citizens with physical and mental disabilities," she said in an email to The Gazette.
Robinson also has introduced House Bill 24, to ensure state agencies authorize payment to a prime contractor within 30 days after completion of work involving MBE participation. It also would require the Board of Public Works to work with the governor's office to establish a process to monitor the timeliness of payments.
Reynolds said she has waited up to 100 days to get paid while subcontracting for the state and has a client that waited more than two years for payment.
"They know we don't have the resources to come after them and sue," she said about the prime contractors.
Robinson's third bill, HB 26, has drawn more mixed responses from the minority-owned business community. It would require the Board of Public Works to allow minority business owners to use years of experience they gained while with a previous company that contracted with the state to help qualify for prime contracts for their current company. Many prime contracts carry experience requirements that are difficult for minority-owned businesses to meet, Robinson said.
Jay McElroy, owner of McElroy Enterprises, a small-business vetting and training company in Upper Marlboro, disapproves of the bill, saying businesses that are using previous company experience do not have the right to win prime contracts because they have not earned it through the business they own.
Frazier also disapproved, saying businesses should first prove that they are responsible enough to handle a prime contract.
But Barbara J. Bauer, president of MedMarket Intelligence, a marketing consulting company in Germantown, said it should not be a problem, if businesses have a good record of subcontracting with their current business. Bauer is seeking MBE certification for her company.

Madagascar's southwestern coast supports the third largest coral reef system in the world. The Toliara reef system is made up of barrier and fringing reefs, shallow lagoons, and abyssal slopes. It is one of very few places in the world inhabited by the coelacanth, a 400-million-year-old species of fish. The region attracts sea turtles from all over the Western Indian Ocean. The Vezo people who live in this coastal region practice a traditional lifestyle that is almost entirely dependent on the coral reefs. Local villages have traditionally relied on catching sea cucumbers and octopus, and fishing on near-shore coral reefs as their sole source of income.
Shark fisheries have expanded in size and number around the world since the mid-1980s to meet the rapidly rising demand for shark fins, meat, and cartilage. Most of these fisheries are unregulated and undocumented. As a result, numerous shark species now face extinction. WCS is working to improve regulation of the global trade in shark products to reverse the decline of these remarkable fishes.
For the first time, a mass stranding of whales has been attributed to sonar mapping.
Coral reef fisheries expert Dr. Tim McClanahan highlights the resilience of coral reefs and the conservation efforts that will help them adapt to changing conditions.
A study by WCS and partners presents a novel approach for establishing new large-scale protected areas in Madagascar's waters.
A newly released study finds that people are increasingly consuming marine mammals—including some very rare species, like the Fraser's dolphin—in more than 100 countries around the world.
As global leaders convene in Durban, South Africa to tackle climate change, WCS coral reef fisheries expert Dr. Tim McClanahan and his colleague Dr. Joshua Cinner urge action on behalf of the world's fishing communities dependent upon the increasingly threatened bounty of warming tropical seas.
A new study identifies a better way to determine if coral ecosystems are in danger of collapse.
WCS marine scientists provide a color code for coral conservation by mapping out the stress loads of the world's reefs.
WCS has developed a stress test to map out which coral reefs will have the best chance of surviving through the climate change era.

Conservatism is the ultimate opposition to progress.
A reactionary stance to change limits the potential for progress more than a proactive stance. An example (although not the centre of the argument) being drugs: being reactive i.e placing laws and trying to force the problem backwards wouldn't work as well as allowing the use of drugs within reason and with reasonable restrictions as this would eliminate a source of funding for many of the world's gangs and ultimately increase global security. (Again this example shouldn't be the main focus of the argument/idea)
edward long
Dec 13 2012: In a debate all Argument must be based on premises which support a conclusion. You start with a conclusion but offer no premises to support it. Your conclusion, which is a sweeping generalization (a fallacy of Logic), insists that the ultimate (greatest or highest possible) opposition to progress is rooted in Conservative political doctrine.
- +3
Thus you are proposing that Conservatives consistently and habitually stand against the development of superior, more beneficial methods of governmental, and social functioning. Maybe your first premise is: "Conservatives oppose progress." I cannot find a second, necessary, premise. Then your unsupported conclusion claims nothing is more prohibitive of progress than Conservatives. If you wish to broadcast your opinion you should post in TED Ideas. If you want to make a formal, logical Argument, aka a Debate, you must do your homework, and you must expect to be held accountable for your conclusion(s). By the way, I am a typical Conservative and I strongly support progress.
Gail .
Dec 19 2012: The word "conservativism" has many meanings. There is a large vocal group that thinks it means christian values and strong nationalism. (Facism) There is another large but not vocal group that thinks it means fiscal economy and social liberalism. (Libertarian)
- +2
Conservatism has traditionally gone with the second group, but the Tea Party types (1st group) have hijacked it in the last 20 years, so now conservatism is expressed with hate, fear, and anger and suppression of rights. Now there is great discord within the movement. With this discord have come others who define conservatism even differently.
If the "conservatives" who fear legalizing drugs would simply study the history of abolition, they would see that we have created the exact same circumstances that abolition created, and those social problems actually forced the repeal of abolition. Today we simply spend more money that we don't have to make the problem worse. So now, we have drug abolition that is not constitutional and functionally uneducated zealots demanding that we continue what has been proven to not work - all in the name of conservatism.
They want to violate the constitution in order to save it. Go figure! But that's the theocratic part of that which is falsely seen as a movement. How can it be a movement when so many believe it to be very different things.
pat gilbert
Dec 13 2012: I prefer to think of conservatism as being the ultimate don't throw the baby out with the bath water philosophy.
- +1
The old school definition of liberal would align with the founders of this country and modern day conservatives.
Dec 13 2012: I'm not from the US, explain?
pat gilbert
Dec 13 2012: It means keep the things that work.
- +2
Fritzie -
Dec 12 2012: How about narrow-mindedness? Not considering options, perhaps because of who put them forward, would be a major factor interfering with progress. (By "progress" I understand you specifically to mean positive change).
- +1
Barry Palmer
Dec 12 2012: I really hate your use of words.
- +1
The ultimate opposition to progress might be violent revolution or terrorism; perhaps the bombing of progressive universities and think tanks. In comparison, conservatism is a mild response to progress.
And what do you mean by progress? Your statement precludes any possibility of progress in the conservative cause.
Conservatism is certainly not the ultimate opposition to progress. It is a different view of how to conduct public affairs. If you consider conservatism as the enemy, it would be a better use of your time to learn about it and understand it, rather than using this forum to write a wild statement demeaning it.
We all want progress. We want everything to progress the way we think it should.
Dec 13 2012: I fully understand the concepts, it is a topic for discussion, not some trolling comment or even my actual view. Present an argument rather than bashing the question.Dec 14 2012: Change is desirable. There are times when change is expedient and even wise. But change just for the sake of it, is foolish.Dec 14 2012: It depends on what kind of progress, if you mean it as advancement then conservatism is half the reason why we actually progress and not go off in some path that is not advancement. Without conservatism progress is rampant.Dec 13 2012: Narrow mindedness certainly but I would assert that being reactionary (that is, to try and force the problem backwards) is more inhibiting than being proactive: moving the goalposts so that the problem is no longer a problem.Dec 13 2012: Mike I see you have not posted a bio ..... where are you from so that we could discuss specifics.
Why have you decided that this must be a good versus evil issue. Mike do you really think that if some drugs are made legal that it will stop illegal drugs from entering a country?
Here are definations from the web:
American conservatism: respect for tradition, support of republicanism, "the rule of law and the Christian religion", and a defense of "Western civilization from the challenges of modernist culture and totalitarian governments
American liberal causes include voting rights for African Americans, abortion rights for women, gay rights and government entitlements such as education and health care. Modern liberalism stands in opposition to Conservatism in the United States on most issues, but its relationship to progressivism is debated. Keynesian economic theory has played a central role in the economic philosophy of modern American liberals. The argument has been that national prosperity requires government management of the macroeconomy, to keep unemployment low, inflation in check, and growth high.
So once again what is evil about one and good about the other. Of particular importance is the reference to Keynesian economic theory with emphasis on "government management" .... You also need to read on Ben Berneke and his application of this theory while at the Fed
Mike it makes no difference if you are a conservative, liberal, or (like me) a independent .... a political and economic train wreck looks the same.
Dec 13 2012: I haven't posted a bio for a good reason which is that people will automatically make assumptions as to what I think or what my level of knowledge is which irritates me when those who do that judgement can rarely make coherrant argument themselvesDec 12 2012: .
Conservatism itself is ultimately an argument of
'I want to enact policies that I think should work in the illusionary world I like to choose to live in, rather than what does work in the actual world';
A clinging to old-school principals that didn't work or in some cases never even existed during the time period the conservatives cling to (the illegality of cannabis or the nuclear family, for example) .
This is why the concepts of 'Abstinence over sexual education' and the 'war on drugs', de-regulation, trickledown economics (among others) continue to be major talking points for conservatives and/or continued multi-billion dollar policies despite all evidence demonstrating that neither work and ultimately do more harm (or simply waste our money) than good.
This leads to the observable bias, lying, skewing and logically fallacious reasoning that we see both in the right-wing media and our supossed representatives, something which SHOULD lead to a revoking of their ability to practice in said careers/roles/outlets.
I would say that conservatism is without a doubt the ultimate opposition to progress and holds us back as a people. When in a group, we don't allow the least qualified, the idiots, those in denial or the liars to decide how we progress, so why allow it with politics..
The first 55 seconds for a quick rundown on the mentality of the people in question.

The Southern States Building
The Negro Building was designed, financed, and built entirely by Knoxville blacks. It outlined black contributions to industry and economy. To the left is a tamale and "wienerwurst" stand; at the time, there were tamale manufacturers, both run by blacks, within a few blocks of Chilhowee Park.
The Woman's Building included demonstrations of fabric art associated with women—and, perhaps because it couldn't be fit in anywhere else, also a small Civil War display.
A rarely seen depiction from promotional literature of the fairgrounds.
The Land Building. Built anew for the 1913 Exposition, it was by some accounts even more impressive than the Liberal Arts Building. It included a 3,500-seat auditorium where Gifford Pinchot, Helen Keller, and others spoke.
The Liberal Arts Building. Sometimes known by other names, it was the Exposition's main building. It burned in a spectacular blaze in 1938, and was replaced by the Jacob Building, which stands on the site now.
The Bandstand. Donated by an association of marble suppliers, at the height of the period when Knoxville was famous for its marble industry, the gazebo served as a public stage for musical acts and some speeches at the 1913 exposition. It's the only architecture remnant of the exposition that still exists today.
The Entrance to the 1913 National Conservation Exposition, probably on Magnolia Avenue.
The Fine Arts Building hosted what may have been the best display of contemporary art in Knoxville in the 20th century. It included a granite fountain with "a bronze figure of a nude boy playing on a pipe of reeds" as well as oils by John Singer Sargent, Robert Henri, Childe Hassam, and several other leading American artists of the day.
Ellery's Band, which had gained fame for its popularity at the St. Louis World's Fair, nine years before the National Conservation Exposition. Sometimes called an "Italian Band," it specialized in popular classical and operatic pieces, and accompanied several male singers; they usually played in the marble bandstand, the only building from the 1913 Exposition which remains at Chilhowee Park today.
The Coal Building was said to be built mainly of large chunks of coal.
The Child Welfare Building included a female physician who offered free check-ups to children.

Originally formed as a studio band for the label's earliest recordings, Easy Star All-Stars is a reggae collective with a rotating roster of musicians and singers founded by the co-founders (Michael Goldwasser, Eric Smith, Lem Oppenheimer & Remy Gerstein) of New York City-based Easy Star Records in 1997. Although they have backed many artists[who?] and produced several original releases, they are best known for covering popular albums in a reggae and dub style and have released three cover albums to date. The first, released in 2003, was an interpretation of Pink Floyd's classic The Dark Side of the Moon entitled Dub Side of the Moon; the second was 2006's Radiodread, a song-by-song cover of Radiohead's OK Computer. In March 2008 they released an EP consisting mostly of non-cover material. In April 2009, they released a cover of The Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band entitled Easy Star's Lonely Hearts Dub Band. On 5 April 2011, they released their first original album entitled First Light.
