Tuition
5-13-09
The tuition for community colleges in the state of Maryland is set to rise by 5% in 2009; one of the colleges this will affect is Anne Arundel Community College, but people are not worried.
Not all of the community colleges are raising their tuition prices; The Community College of Baltimore County is not raising their tuition price for in county residents which will remain at $90 per credit hour for full time students and $103 per credit hour. That is still more then Anne Arundel Community Colleges current rate which is $88 dollars per credit hour.
The low price why when asked if she thought students would look at other education options Ms. Huellemeier a professor at Anne Arundel Community College said “No because I worked at other community colleges where tuition is much higher compared to AACC.”
Students hope the price increase does not rise too much but if it does Jeff Parcher a current student at the community college said he still saved a large amount of money while attending Anne Arundel Community College.
When ask if he would take advantage of President Obama’s plan that would let students do service hours and the government would pay for the students tuition Mr. Parcher responded, “No, I imagine all the service would add up to the amount of money I would make at my regular job.”
Parcher’s mother who has a younger son looking at colleges said the tuition is so low compared to other colleges her son is looking at a small increase would still make Anne Arundel Community College cheaper.
According to Anne Arundel Community College Fast Facts 2008-2009 if Mrs. Parcher’s son goes to Anne Arundel Community College they would be part of 31.6% of students that graduate high school in Anne Arundel County to attend Anne Arundel Community College

press conference

Death
4-13-09
Yesterday at 12:00 a.m. Jaine Henderson the executive director of Maryland Citizens Against Execution held a press conference for students at Anne Arundel Community College answering questions about the new death penalty bill.
The organization welcomes the new bill that was recently past, to help prevent wrongful execution, Henderson said. By requiring biological evidence, video tape confession, or video tape of the crime, but the organization still wants the death penalty repealed, Henderson said.
Henderson clamed that execution was a costly process that took three times as much money as life in prison. She said that 186 million dollars over a 20 year period and most of the people that go through the process are never executed.
There have only been five executions in Maryland in the past 30 years but she complained that there is juridical and racial bias. Four out of
five people who have been on death row have killed white victims when 82% of murder victims are black Henderson said.

Bad Day, bad calls from yesterdays Caps game makes it worse
No Sports make for a very long day and when I mean no sports I mean no Orioles, Caps or Ravens games today and yes I'm still football sick. What really makes it a bad day is that the Caps lost because three none calls. Let me explain yesterday the Caps lost 4-3 to the NY Rangers but what people don't talk about is that the game was a close game and that two of the goals came when three penalties werent called. The first goal I am talking about happened when Tomas Fleischmann was hit in the other teams end while trying to back check or go help the defence this is an interference call. On the same play Mike Green a defenceman for the caps was tripped by Avery while playing defence leaving the caps on a 2 on 1 and a goal was scored. the last real bad call came when Shoane Morrison had his stick broke in half while killing a penalty which forced Fleischmann to give Morrison his stick making the play a virtual 5-3 and they scored. So the playoffs arent over but its an unforgivable set of none calls that ruined that game, but the goalie Theordore could have stopped all the shots even if the shots should have never taken place.

Home run city
Everyone says that Texas is a hitters ball park. Yesterday the Baltimore Orioles played the Texas Rangers at Texas and the game ended up 10-9 a victory for the Orioles, bad pitching maybe good hitting yes. I'm not sure if it is only the ball park the Orioles and Rangers are two teams that are known for being offensive teams with less then great pitching. I'm not sold on the ballpark being a hitters park but I'm starting to think so as I'm watching the Oriole game tonight there have been five home runs in the game tonight, before the 5th inning.
Update: 10:48 p.m. the game slowed down the Orioles starter left with discomfort in his elbow very early in the game during the 2nd inning. The game is now in extra innings thanks to some great work from the bpen and defence so I guess pitching beats hitting.
