National Governors Association: Governors Look To Arts, Culture, And Design To Boost Economic Growth
GOVERNORS LOOK TO ARTS, CULTURE AND DESIGN TO BOOST ECONOMIC
GROWTH
NGA Report Focuses on New Engines of Growth
WASHINGTON—With concerns over job creation and business
growth holding a prominent—and persistent—position on policy agendas today,
governors are increasingly finding innovative ways to support economic growth,
according to a new report out today from the National Governors Association
(NGA).
New Engines of Growth: Five Roles for Arts, Culture, and Design
focuses on the role that arts, culture and design can play in governors’
policies to create jobs and boost their economies in the short run and
transition to an innovation-based economy in the long run.
In particular, arts, culture and design can assist states
with economic growth because they can serve the following roles:
Provide a fast-growth, dynamic industry cluster;
Help mature industries become more competitive;
Provide the critical ingredients for innovative places;
Catalyze community revitalization; and
Deliver a better-prepared workforce.
“Economic growth is a top priority for all governors,”
said Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper, a member of NGA’s Executive
Committee. “They are using an ‘all-hands-on-deck’ approach throughout all
state agencies to put in place policies and programs using arts, culture and
design as a means to enhance economic growth.
Globalization and the changing economy have affected
individual states differently, but all are searching for ways to support
high-growth industries, accelerate innovation, foster entrepreneurial activity,
address unemployment, build human capital and revive distressed areas. Using
the five roles as a framework, state leaders—governors, economic development
officials and state arts agencies—have a way to intentionally and strategically
make arts, culture and design an important part of an economic growth agenda.
“As I travel across this country, I have found one thing to
be true in state after state: art works,” said NEA Chairman Rocco Landesman.
“The National Governor's Association has laid out 5 strategies currently
employed by states to use the arts to help strengthen local economies and drive
innovation. I look forward to working with our network of state arts agencies
to support governors in this work.”
This report was produced by NGA with funding support from
the National Endowment for the Arts.

growth and job creation, please visit www.nga.org/center.

the collective voice of the nation’s governors and one of Washington, D.C.’s
most respected public policy organizations. Its members are the governors of the
55 states, territories and commonwealths. NGA provides governors and their
senior staff members with services that range from representing states on
Capitol Hill and before the Administration on key federal issues to developing
and implementing innovative solutions to public policy challenges through the
NGA Center for Best Practices. For more information, visit www.nga.org.

From Westminster to the World of Warcraft by Kevin Dayhoff
May 2, 2012
Last Monday, Greg Street, a 1991 McDaniel College graduate
and the lead systems designer of World of Warcraft, shared his reality of how
he journeyed from Texas to Westminster, and then South Carolina to California
and Northrend, the crescent-shaped continent in northern Azeroth, in the
virtual reality world of gamers.
For Dr. Street, it has been a long, strange, and wonderful
trip from Westminster to the Mists of Pandaria.
The audience that gathered at Decker Center Forum on the
Westminster college campus was an eclectic combination and – yes, one-third of
the audience were hard-core gamers – who know Dr. Street by his screen name “Ghostcrawler” on
gamer message boards, where he is a constant presence in search of feedback on
the World of Warcraft.
The World of Warcraft was first released in 1994 as
“Warcraft: Orcs and Humans.” The popular computer game currently enjoys a
worldwide audience of 10.2 million subscribers as of December 2011… http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5077

“Games don't just appear out of thin air. Games are created by teams of
designers and programers toiling in small underground vaults, unaware of the world
above. At least, that's the information to which I'm privy. At any rate, games
do require designers and Age of Empires III is no exception. Recently, I had
the chance to chat with Greg Street, leader of the design team at Ensemble
Studios that created Age of Empires III, about his role at Ensemble, what
gamers can expect from this latest generation of the Age of Empires series and
other industry related topics of interest. This is a good read, trust me…”
Florida's
New Video-Game Magnet School Now Accepting Applications - By Susan Jones April 30, 2012 http://cnsnews.com/news/article/floridas-new-video-game-magnet-school-now-accepting-applications
From
the Miami Herald: Miami-Dade Public Schools will open its first
video-game-themed magnet program this fall, with the goal of teaching students
how to design and program video games, the Miami Herald reported on Monday.
The iTech Academy at Miami Springs Senior High School has
125 spots for the freshman class.
“We’re going to be a school that produces not only games,
but apps. It’s part of my vision,” Principal Anna Rodriguez was quoted as
saying. “I can see our students building holograms. I can really see it.”
According to the newspaper, the focus on design and coding
reflects state and national efforts to promote science, technology, engineering
and math (STEM). Proponents of video-game programs say they prepare students
for jobs in the 21st century.
In 2010-11, Florida had about 3,300 students enrolled in
game, simulation and animation courses, the Herald reported… http://cnsnews.com/news/article/floridas-new-video-game-magnet-school-now-accepting-applications

Eagle Archive: Calling all 'well-behaved players' for baseball in Carroll County

You may have noticed that the Baltimore Orioles have gotten off to a good start so far in the young 2012 season.
Hope springs eternal, and spring makes me eternally hopeful, so it's only fitting to note that baseball was also on the minds of Carroll County readers more than 110 years ago.
On this day in 1899, a local newspaper carried a news story that the local "Westminster Base Ball Club" was looking for a few good baseball players…
"The Westminster Base Ball Club ... desires to win the championship and toward that end desires to have a team composed of good players who will be able to play good base ball, and will take full advantage of the five mile limit in order to obtain the players if they can not be gotten in this city." …
What is that 'five-mile limit' all about? We may need to call upon local historian and Carroll County baseball history expert Dan Hartzler.
[…]
According to Mary Ann Ashcraft, an historian for the Historical Society, "Baseball was a big draw in all parts of the county, and competition between local teams often got very intense…"
[…]
In the April 22, 1899 article that appeared in the now-defunct Democratic Advocate newspaper, it is interesting to review the set of qualifications desired by the Westminster Base Ball Club.
“While no roughness or rowdyism on the team will be permitted, the team will be no kid glove affair, to the detriment of good ball playing, but every effort will be made to obtain a representative club of conscientious, efficient, and well-behaved ball players…
“The team announced last week will be permanent only so far as the members, so announced, are able to play good ball and play regularly.”
Where do I sign up? Put me in coach, I’m ready to play.
