Governor-Elect, Comptroller Volunteer at Paul's Place in Baltimore THE BALTIMORE TIMES Vol. 25 29 No. No. 7 9 December December 26, 2014 -3 January - 9, 2010 1, 2015 A Baltimore Times/Times of Baltimore Publication Governor-elect, Comptroller volunteer at Paul's Place in Baltimore On Monday December 22, 2014, Governor-elect Larry Hogan and Comptroller Peter Franchot, joined by the Governor-elect's daughter Jaymi Sterling, the next First Lady Yumi Hogan, and Comptroller Franchot's wife Anne Maher, volunteered at Paul's Place in the Pigtown neighborhood of Baltimore City, where they donated clothing and helped serve lunch to local residents. Founded in 1982, the organization is a unique non-profit offering basic needs services such as hot lunches, an emergency food pantry, housing assistance, a nurse's clinic, and more, as well as education and job-readiness services, health and wellness programs, and an after school program. "I first visited Paul's Place during the primary election, and was immediately impressed by the work this organization is doing in the Pigtown commu- nity," Governor-elect Hogan said. "I feel their model is something that could be implemented on a much larger scale throughout the state to foster 'hope, personal dignity, and growth,' part of the Paul's Place motto, to all of our communities in need. I'm very excited that the Comptroller and I are back again today." Courtesy Photo Make 2015 The Year of You!

  • Tennessee Has a Storied Tradition of Great Players and Great Teams
    PMRphoto.com PMRphoto.com Tennessee has a storied tradition of great players and great teams. I am very excited about the opportunity we have here, and I hope you are too. Since becoming part of the Tennessee family in December, I have been amazed at the energy and enthusiasm of our fans. I can’t wait to experience having more than 100,000 of you cheering our team on at one of the greatest venues in college football during our eight home games this fall. When I took this job, I set out to hire the best coaches in America, and I think we have assembled a group of coaches that are unrivaled anywhere in the country. As a staff, we have a total of 35 years NFL coaching experience, 118 years of collegiate coaching experience, 84 years of coaching experience at BCS conference schools and 32 years of coaching experience in the SEC. Those involved in our program have won 13 national titles, 36 conference titles and 48 bowl games, not to mention a Super Bowl. My staff and I are committed to recruiting the best student-athletes in the country to build on UT’s outstanding history. Our first recruiting class ranked in the top 10 nationally and included the No. 1 rated player in the nation. We continue to work tirelessly at bringing the top players to Knoxville. We want the 2009 team and all of our future teams to be disciplined and accountable in all areas of life. Our progress can already be seen in the way our players are handling their workouts and the level of dedication they are bringing to putting Tennessee football back on top.

  • The Seed School of Washington, Dc
    What does it take to prepare students for college and careers in the 21st century? Time. It takes time to grow into a successful individual. But how far and how fast we grow depends on another question: what do we do with the time we are given? At SEED, we are with our students 24 hours a day, five days a week. We call this our “gift of time,” but it is more than that. Time is a responsibility and a means for our students, parents, teachers, staff, and supporters to do amazing things. This report is a celebration of what they are able to accomplish with the gift of time; it rejoices in the answers to one simple question: what can you do with 24 hours? For Justin Eames (page 11), director of technology at SEED Maryland, having 24 hours means that students can explore potential career paths through state-of-the-art technology. For Nicole Padro (page 12), student life counselor at SEED Miami, 24 hours means time to foster a love of learning in her students by reading aloud stories before bedtime. And for SEED DC parent Tasha Poulson (page 14), a 24-hour program means that her children are safe and surrounded by positive role models committed to their growth. As SEED grows, our schools remain connected by the gift of time. Whether in D.C., Maryland, or Miami, we have the opportunity to support our students and staff in ways that other schools cannot. This is a privilege and a responsibility. If you are reading this report, then you have likely supported SEED in the past.

  • African American Media Today Building the Future from the Past
    PUBLIC SQUARE PROGRAM The Obsidian Collection African American Media Today Building the Future From the Past BY ANGELA FORD, KEVIN MCFALL, BOB DABNEY | THE OBSIDIAN COLLECTION FEBRUARY 2019 STATE OF AFRICAN AMERICAN MEDIA: TAKEAWAYS • America’s Black press is made up of 158 publications across 29 states and D.C., with 20.1 million online readers. • The Black press was particularly hard hit by the loss of advertising revenue when tobacco companies pulled print advertising. • Building and maintaining archives can provide not only an important record of the history of the black press but also a template for strengthening the Black press today. Introduction Since its creation in the early 19th century, the Black press has played a crucial role in the broader journalism industry — reporting on relevant issues within the African-American community, shining a light on both its challenges and triumphs and providing a nuanced portrait of the lives of Black Americans when mainstream media would not. Today, Black legacy press faces many of the same struggles of the news industry overall, namely adapting to major losses of advertising revenue and an increasingly digital information landscape. Some legacy outlets are reimagining how they work and connect with their communities, while several young entrepreneurs of color are building digital-first organizations that tap into today’s news landscape. Both uniquely function to deliver news to Black audiences and tell the multitude of stories that exist in the Black community. As a journalism funder, Democracy Fund is dedicated to increasing the diversity of sources, stories, and staff in newsrooms. This includes supporting mainstream newsrooms as they work to better reflect the communities they serve, but also importantly, media that are both by and for diverse communities in the United States.
