Vote No against slots
Slot machines aren’t why we have state parks
To the Editor:Cumberland Times-News
October 31, 2008 12:50 am—
How hasn’t anyone noticed that Maryland is poised to become the only state in the country to put gambling in a state park (our beloved Rocky Gap State Park)? Having grown up in Maryland and proudly served the Department of Natural Resources as a Maryland State Park Naturalist for over 10 years, I am astounded a state that loves its state parks as much as Maryland would consider voting for such a proposal. I have spent many wonderful days hiking, catfishing, camping, canoeing and hunting around Lake Habeeb in Rocky Gap State park. The 3,000 acre preserve that composes the park is certainly a Maryland treasure. I was reluctant many years ago to the concept of a lodge being built as an economic development initiative, since I had never seen a fiscally successful state park lodge in West Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio or Tennessee state parks. We can’t make a second mistake to try to fix another.
I currently reside in Delaware, where I am employed as the chief park naturalist for Delaware State Parks so I can’t vote on Nov. 4 but I am praying this measure fails. Slots are legal here in Delaware, and personally I don’t oppose slots, but I am not willing to sacrifice Maryland’s special places for slots revenue. What’s next, Sandy Point going condo? I am sure that would raise revenue estimates. But like gambling, it is not why we have state parks.

EliteXC: Heat - Kimbo Slice Vs. Seth Petruzelli
The previously thought to be unbeatable gets worked this past Saturday. BTW -- rumor has it that the EliteXC was in trouble and needed this to be a big fight. I don't know if this spells doom for them, and it might catapult them into some sort of cult following as legend slayers. But that is a half full POV, which probably won't happen.

Vince Young contemplates suicide
A little craziness from the Titans organization. This article has it all--speeding away, hand guns in the glove box, therapists, and high speed interstate chases. The Nashville police had SWAT standing by in addition to therapists. The kicker for me was the quote that the Titans head of security called police, after Vince Young sped off from the stadium, that they had a player "going off". 
To me, this indicates that this type of thing happens often enough that using the term going off is just what the players tend to do. It seems the former Madden cover man has taken the jinx to new levels. Not only did his poor play last year honor the jinx, he has upped the ante for Brett Favre to have some additional issues related to the curse.

Us at the MD vs. Del Game
Maryland eeked out a victory over Delaware, 14 -7. Playing all three QBs, there was quite a bit of dysfunction going on offense against the FCS team from our country's first state. Maryland's next game at home will be against PAC-10 Cal, which will be a tougher test going into the ACC season.

Fantasy Football
Getting ready for a draft this Wednesday. Final cuts are tomorrow, so I will have to check if I actually drafted all legitimate players or if I have to make some waiver wire moves. Here is my first draft, done two weeks ago. I had the third pick, and the order snaked back up.
- Tom Brady
- Willis McGahee
- Edgerrin James
- Andre Johnson
- Jerrico Cotchery
- Earnest Graham
- Rashard Mendenhall
- Kevin Smith
- Derrick Mason
- Javon Walker
- Jerry Porter
- Jason Campbell
- Darrell Jackson
- Donald Lee
- Shaun Suisham
- Tampa DST
UPDATE: Obviously, this team gets a little bit more worse for wear with TB going out for the year in Week 1.
