My parents had five children, I was the middle one. We were raised to always do one's best, strive to make the world a better place, enjoy and revere nature, assist those less fortunate, and, always "be there." The last meaning to "go" when needed, actively participate, (to not sit on one's hands or merely express verbal support). In other words, "be there" for one's children, siblings, family, friends, community, nation, and world. Protest when necessary and lobby against injustices ... be part of the solution and not the problem. Keep an open mind, listen before speaking (something many of you know is a trait that I still have not completely mastered), and zealously argue one's position to either convince others to join you or until you are persuaded otherwise. In my own state of Mary...

Not even a successful petition drive can tear asunder the Maryland high court's decision requiring the state to recognize as valid the marriages of same-sex couples who lawfully wed in other states. The Court of Appeals, in its landmark ruling Friday, said recognition is required by the legal doctrine of comity -- under which one state accepts the legal judgments of another -- because same-sex marriage is neither "repugnant" to the state's public policy nor expressly prohibited by state law. The court's ruling came as a Maryland state law permitting same-sex marriages is slated to go into effect Jan. 1. But that law, the Civil Marriage Protection Act, will likely be put before Maryland voters this fall, as opponents of the measure have mounted a petition drive to get the 55,736 signatu...

Dunkin' Donuts planned in historic area Feelings in Annapolis are mixed about a proposed Dunkin' Donuts store in the city's historic district, the Capital newspaper reported. Todd Lalumiere, the operator of three Dunkin' Donuts stores, wants to open the new store at 38 West Street before Christmas, and has asked the city to grant him a special exception to do business in an area with mixed-use zoning. Some residents say adding the store could tarnish the local feel of the street, but a planning department official said the staff will recommend approval. She noted the location formerly was a Thai restaurant, and a McDonald's fast-food restaurant was also housed there.

While attorneys know they have an ethical responsibility to serve the public -- most notably, to help fellow citizens who can't afford a lawyer with critical legal problems -- the reality is that many don't perform their pro bono duty. People have lots of excuses -- and some are justified," said University of Maryland law professor Douglas L. Colbert, who has written extensively about the profession's ethical responsibilities.
