The Day The Music Died – For Me. December 8, 2009 — jamieumbc. We’ve all heard somber-sounding people on television or the radio asking the question: “Do you remember where you were when you heard about (. Insert traumatic event here. For my parents, there was Pearl Harbor. And then the assassination of John Kennedy. For most people of my generation, we have 9-11. For me, the shooting death of John Lennon. On December 8, 1980 falls into this category. I’ve always been a Beatles. On the night of December ...

At The UMBC Basketball Game (Thanks, UMBC Training Centers! January 7, 2010 — jamieumbc. A few weeks ago, I was fortunate enough to win a pair of basketball tickets from UMBC Training Centers. The seats for last night’s game against Penn were in a great location, at center court, just four rows behind Media Row. As a bonus, the women’s team was playing the early game. Here are some of the images I captured at the game:. It was a pretty good crowd for a Wednesday during Winter Break. The radio broadcaster...

At Cardinal Gibbons, We Played Cricket! And Lost An Opportunity To Save The School.). March 12, 2010 — jamieumbc. Last year, I coached the only American high school cricket team outside of New York City. It was created by a group of American kids who, without ever having played a hardball game, had already fallen in love with the sport. How did this come to pass? Well, it all started in Virginia, in April of 2008. The same group, with Tim Schmidt and myself in the photo. Current UMBC Student Will Arsenau...

DC Sniper John Allen Muhammad is Dead, and I Don’t Feel Any Better. November 11, 2009 — jamieumbc. During the final few days, we become increasingly uncomfortable as it becomes apparent that the condemned is, in fact, doomed to die. We might wonder how one faces the idea that no matter what he does, his life will suddenly end in a now easily quantifiable number of hours. Does he try to stay awake, squeezing out every conscious hour of life that he can? Who could have an appetite at a time like that?

MHEC Ruling On UMUC Program Must Be Reversed. January 13, 2010 — jamieumbc. Last October, the Maryland Higher Education Commission ruled. That University of Maryland University College. 8216;s online doctoral program in community college administration was a duplication of Morgan State. 8216;s misguided ruling reflects not a bias toward Morgan State as much as it reflects the age of the members of the Commission.

Impressed, Unimpressed: Why The Ravens Will Win Super Bowl XLVII. January 31, 2013 — jamieumbc. When I attempt to size up the teams playing in Super Bowl XLVII this Sunday, I first look at the path each took to get here. This gives me an idea of how well the team is playing against better opposition, in its most recent games. Let’s start with the 49ers. Then, the 49ers played an Atlanta Falcons team that I never really bought into. The Falcons played too many bad games in 2012 that they somehow manag...

Cricket Must Embrace Its Nuclear Plant. January 7, 2016 — jamieumbc. When I was a senior in college, I wrote a research paper that explored the ways in which the coming of a nuclear power plant changed one very rural, very poor, Maryland county. I also examined the feelings of longtime residents who had seen the changes occur. In many ways, the truths I uncovered are echoed in the world of modern cricket, and are, I think, instructional. So, what does all this have to do with cricket? If so, how can it b...
