...PORT OF BALTIMORE Prepared for the: MARYLAND PORT ADMINISTRATION Revised January 28, 2008 Prepared by: MARTIN ASSOCIATES 941 WHEATLAND AVE., SUITE 203 LANCASTER, PA 17603 Maryland Port Administration Inter-Office Memorandum TO: DATE: File March 19, 2008 SUBJECT: MPA’s comments concerning the Martin and Associates Study of Economic Impacts to Port of Baltimore in 2006 The MPA commends the excellent work by Martin and Associates in completing a comprehensive report of the economic impacts of the Port of Baltimore in late 2007, and revised on January 28, 2008. There are two methodology changes (or new features) in the current report - induced and indirect related jobs and a new single measure of the total economic activity. Although other ports are using this enhanced methodology, the MPA chooses not to include them when speaking of the Port’s impacts for the following reasons: • In previous comprehensive studies, only the number of direct related jobs was measured. In the January 2008 study, the related impacts measure the jobs, personal income, and associated state and local taxes that occur at each stage of production of exports or consumption/use of imported cargo. This includes induced and indirect related jobs that are supported by the direct related jobs. The new change in methodology in the current study concerning total related jobs provides a very comprehensive and extremely broad view of the economic impact of the cargo moving via the Port of Baltimore to the...

...Baltimore: A Community in Crisis Since the 19th century, the illicit drug, heroin, has been a part of American society. When heroin was first discovered it was thought to be a wonder drug because of the euphoric feeling a person is said to feel after using it. However, once the debilitating effects of this highly addictive drug was realized the anti-drug law, the Harrison Narcotics Act, was enacted that restricted its use to medicinal purposes only. In 1920, heroin was banned altogether through the Dangerous Drug Act (Habal, 2011). Heroin for the most part was thought to have gone underground until the Vietnam War. In 1971, two congressmen returned from visiting U. S. servicemen serving in Vietnam with an alarming revelation that “15 percent of U.S. servicemen in Vietnam… were actively addicted to heroin” (Spiegel, 2012, para. 3). The idea that American servicemen were addicted to such a horrible drug disgusted much of the American public. “It was thought to be the most addictive substance ever produced, a narcotic so powerful that once addiction claimed you, it was nearly impossible to escape” (Spiegel, 2012, para. 4). President Richard Nixon took swift action by creating, The Special Action Office of Drug Abuse Prevention which concentrated primarily on prevention and rehabilitation. In the late 70s and early 80s the use of heroin reached its peak when it seemed to take a backseat to the reappearance of cocaine and the subsequent crack epidemic that overwhelmed much...

...In my early ethnographic encounters, my personal beliefs regarding the Charm City Circulator were like Johns Hopkins students in general. I had spoken to students who wouldn’t use the bus because the last time they had, someone had walked on still smoking their cigarette. Others talked about how they never sat down because who knew what was on the chairs. Even my physics lab partner first semester had suggested I take an Uber instead because it was more convenient, clean and I wouldn’t have to deal with the clientele of the Charm City Circulator. By the end of my first semester, I understood the Charm City Circulator as a cheap public transportation option that everyone knew was cheap because of the people who used it. Feeding into this mentality,...

...University Airport Security Aviation security is the techniques and methods used to provide safety to passengers at airports across the globe. Millions of people pass through various airports every day. This can lead to imminent terrorist strikes that can kill hundreds of people. The ability to use a hijacked plane as a weapon is something terrorists aim to achieve. This act of terrorism was accomplished on September 11, 2001 when several terrorists successfully hijacked three commercial planes in America. Since this day, the Transportation Security Administration implemented different layers of security throughout the country to ensure this act of terrorism never happens again. The main goal of the TSA is to reassure the traveling public that they are safe and to protect airports. Airports have changed mainly to government run enterprises. Therefore roads, bridges and other transportation related projects being funded by the government have done the public good. However, privatizing an airport through security and management has its benefits as well such as lowering the government’s budget and improving efficiency and competition. Private management can reorganize the airports costs and revenues thus funding more for security, increasing revenue and cutting costs. With government owned aviation security privately owned airports has been found to be a better solution to government controlled. After TSA’s takeover in 2001 more than 450 commercial airports operated security screening...

...Critical and Creative Thinking in Society PHL458 Critical and Creative Thinking in Society Free will is the ability to use critical and creative thinking to approach problems to make an educated choice in what directive or direction to take (Ruggiero, 2012, Chapter 2). The textbook states that some psychologists would argue there is no free will, only compulsion as defines as the irresistible urge to do something. The textbook author, Ruggiero, states that although we are influenced by both nature and nurture, we retain a significant amount of free will to make choices (Ruggiero, 2012, Chapter 2). According to Ruggiero (2012) truth is what is so about something, the reality of the matter, as distinguished from what people wish were so, believe to be so, or assert to be so (Chapter 2). The truth is not relative nor does truth change; only one's perception of what is truth changes. If truth were relative, no one would seek out the answers as any answer could be considered truth. Perception can be relative; truth is the view that is fated to be ultimately agreed to by all who investigate (Ruggiero, 2012, Chapter 2). Knowledge is what we know, not what we think we know (Ruggiero, 2012, Chapter 2). We can find true knowledge from experience, observation and report. All three of these methods of obtaining knowledge are subject to the failure of faulty experience, faulty experience, faulty reporting and faulty memory. One may feel he is knowledgeable on a subject, only to...

...After the controversial Michael Brown shooting, police officers’ interactions with non-white citizens have received national attention. Police violence has remained a prominent issue with the Ferguson and Baltimore protests causing people to either support or oppose the protest. Some people criticized the protesters for being violent while others saw them as an effective attempt to bring about change in the interactions between police departments and citizens of color. To evaluate the validity of the protesters’ actions, the issues that gave rise to the protests must be fully appreciated to understand if the protest response was justified and will be capable of promoting beneficial change. In Baltimore the focal point of the police violence was the homicide of Freddie Gray. In this case Gray, a 35 year old healthy black man, was arrested. He was then transported in a police van where he sustained injuries to his neck and spinal cord leaving him in a coma. At this point, he was taken to a trauma center where he died a week later. Initially the police officers were unable to account for the injuries or produce a consistent timeline for the arrest, transportation, and medical treatment. This angered the residents of...

...The original locomotive was built in England in 1803, and very soon American industrialists ensured that the mode of transportation was built in the United Sates. “On February 28, 1827, the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad became the first United States railway chartered for commercial transport of passengers and freight” (The New Nation (1790-1828)). The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, “America’s pioneering railroad” (Wolmar, Christian) was only 13 miles long and opened in 1830 causing a lot of exhilaration in American inhabitants. The Leiper Railroad was a three quarters of a mile horse drawn railway that opened in 1810. Thomas Leiper, the quarry owner, did not acquire an agreement with legal rights-of-way to instead create his anticipated canal laterally...
