Hood dean in middle of rioting in Cairo
Marvin Farbstein of Hood College, in Egypt since last weekend as part of an accreditation review team at the American University of Cairo, faced a possible delay leaving as Cairo and other cities erupted in clashes. He stayed in the Nile Hilton as curfews and shutdowns followed police desertion and looting, with about 120 Americans in the area. Farbstein’s daughter said he prepared for a direct U.S. to Cairo flight and took precautions to stay safe while authorities battled mobs and fires in Cairo and Maadi neighborhoods.

Landowners seek voice over new Lake Singapore tax district
Lake Linganore property owners oppose a Frederick County plan to create a special taxing district to fund water sewer and road projects. They warn it would tax owners without representation since non residents would have no vote while the bill requires a public hearing. The group urges consent from affected taxpayers and cites local law that requires majority support before new districts.
