I have a lot to cover since I have taken the last couple weeks off. First the Terps have been able to secure two very big wins coming off an embarrassing loss to UVA. The win two weeks ago over Wake Forest was impressive because the Terps played a complete game.
Their Offense was able to put points on the board and their Defense managed to shut out Wake Forest, who has given them a lot of problems in recent years. To be fair to Wake Forest, their Offense did put them in position to score a couple of times; but with their All-American kicker Sam Swank out of the game they had trouble cashing in on field goal attempts. This win allowed the Terps to stay in control of their own destiny.
The win over N.C. State was impressive because it proved the Terps could ...Continue Reading

(Bel Air, MD – October 29, 2008) – - In a dramatic move today, Harford County Executive David R. Craig announced reductions in the FY 09 budget for all county departments and independent agencies of the county. The budget reductions were made necessary due to a projected shortfall in the income tax, recordation taxes and transfer fees the county will receive.
“Today we are taking steps to insure county government lives within its means,” stated County Executive Craig. “Difficult fiscal times call for tough decisions, and we have acted responsibly to reduce spending in government in an effort to maintain a balanced budget,” Craig remarked.

It’s Halloween time and you all know what that means? Yes, another installment of the Saw franchise hits the big screen. What are we on, number five now? Wow, how time flies and Hollywood exploits the crap out of anything mildly successful.
Anyway, as a huge fan of the first Saw movie and a somewhere in the middle fan of two thru four, of course I had to go to the theater and see Saw V. And I will say right off the bat, anyone who has never seen a Saw movie, do not see this. A lot will not make sense. If you have seen all of them thus far and want to see this one, save your $10 until it comes out on DVD. Big time fans should not panic just yet, the movie was fine. I just recommend not spending the money because it’s something that is probably ...Continue Reading

HAGERSTOWN, Md.—The Harford women’s tennis team, in its first year competing as an NJCAA Division I program, claimed the NJCAA Region XX Women’s Tennis championship title last weekend at Hagerstown Community College.
