  2. The forgotten side of the immigration debate

    Recently, I returned home from a three-week stay in Guanajuato, Mexico. I lived with a gracious Mexican family, took Spanish classes and had the chance to immerse myself in Mexican culture. Mexican society was beautiful and vibrant — full of ideas, art and religion. Needless to say, the crude stereotypes of drug cartels and kidnappings were hardly relevant or applicable to my experience, or the experience of anyone I met.

  6. XTERRA Trail Run Series makes Maryland debut on April 6 at Seneca Creek

    Steven Leibowitz is trying to run as fast as he can, but the trail is muddy and tree roots are hiding under the soil, slowing him down. Now there's a stream blocking his path, with no way to cross, save a few widely spaced rocks. But Leibowitz can't give up. He has to keep running.

  9. Let's send Congress on a Carnival cruise

    It occurred to me that two current but unrelated news stories might hold the key to solving our nation's most pressing problem &mdash; sequestration. It is frustrating that Congress goes off on a "holiday" with two weeks to go before the draconian measures associated with sequestration kick-in. Let's send them on a "luxury" cruise, all expenses paid, on the Carnival "Triumph!" ("Triumph ordeal unlikely to hurt giant Carnival cruise company" Feb 16.) After several days of feasting and merriment, we can turn off all the power and water, and tell them we won't send the tugs out to rescue them until they address the federal government's fiscal issues related to sequestration and beyond.
