Demetri McGill won't sign with Maryland next month after the Terps pulled his scholarship last weekend. A three-star defensive tackle prospect from Ocean Lakes High in Virginia Beach, McGill committed to the Terps in November but was told Sunday that his offer was no longer on the table. “They said I had a previous knee injury, so that was their excuse to pull my scholarship,” said McGill, who tore his posterior cruciate ligament during his sophomore year. “I had an MRI done.

The parking lot at Meade High School is nearly empty. School is out for the summer and graduates are making the most of these hot summer days before they race off to college or begin new jobs.But for 18-year-old Kenneth McGill, it's business as usual -- at least for about a week more, until he hands over his responsibilities as student school board member to Miecha Werwie, a senior at Southern High. For now, the Meade High graduate must continue to ponder the school budget and its impact on students.

"It was all kind of frightening," Anthony McGill says of his part in the presidential inauguration Jan. 20. The clarinetist, who performs tomorrow night with the Peabody Concert Orchestra, was one of the four nearly frozen musicians who gave the virtual premiere of John Williams' "Air and Simple Gifts" on the West Front of the Capitol, just before Barack Obama was sworn in as president. As the whole world later discovered, those players - violinist Itzhak Perlman, cellist Yo-Yo Ma, pianist Gabriela Montero and McGill - played to a recording they had made a couple of days before.

Brody on nonacademic matters. He succeeds Eugene S. Sunshine, who left Hopkins last summer for a similar position at Northwestern University.Among his other duties, McGill will oversee reforms enacted to ensure that the university's contracting programs are pure.

Columbia-based McGill Development Co., among the larger commercial real estate developers in the Baltimore area, filed for Chapter 11 under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code Monday.McGill's filing, along with the reorganization filing of two of its subsidiaries, illustrates the tough times faced by shopping center developments that opened during the recession.McGill is the owner and operator of Bel Air Town Center at U.S. 1 and Route 24 and the Roberts Field Shopping Center in Hampstead. Both opened within the past year, and McGill had difficulty finding tenants, according to the developer's bankruptcy lawyer, Mitchell Stevan of Weinstock, Stevan & Harris in Baltimore.

Easton -- Even if writers of real estate ads were prohibited by law from excessive use of superlatives, no court would convict them for emptying the thesaurus on McGill Creek Farm and Penderyn, the two priciest properties on Maryland's home market.Both are located bayside on the Eastern Shore, where sprawling estates surrounded by farmland are still common, despite pressure from cookie-cutter development.While the centerpiece of each waterfront property is a red-brick mansion designed to conform with the Shore's Colonial-era structures, neither is more than 4 years old.The real estate agents' code phrase "upper brackets" barely defines the high-end asking price for each home -- $16,250,000 for Penderyn and $15,235,000 for McGill Creek Farm, though it's still to be seen whether the homes will fetch anything near those figures.

Storyteller and author Alice McGill appears at the Aberdeen Branch Library on Wednesday to wrap up the library's Black History Month celebration. Performing "Songs and Tales of African-American Folklore," McGill will draw from a collection of more than 200 stories, chants and songs, weaving their words and themes together to show the similarities in folk tales across ethnic and racial boundaries. McGill frequently explores ethnic and racial themes in her literary works. Her first book, Molly Bannaky, recounts the true story of a white servant girl living in Maryland in the late 17th century who falls in love with and marries a black indentured man. Miles' Song, McGill's second book, is set in the pre-Civil War South and tells the experiences of a 12-year-old slave boy as he learns about life and struggles to find a "song of freedom."

STORYTELLER Alice McGill has found her writing voice. Her first children's book, "Molly Bannaky," was released in the fall, and "Miles' Song," a novel for young readers, will be out this month. A third book, "In the Hollow of Your Hand," which includes a compact disc, will be released in September. The Long Reach resident has been a professional storyteller for 17 years. Her first book contract with Houghton Mifflin Co., publisher of her three books, came through an agent, Barrie Van Dyck.

When Alice McGill was growing up in North Carolina, her mother began each morning with an earnest prayer: "Lord, it's me. I come before you, this mornin', knee bent and body bowed, beggin' for You to hold my little chillun in the hollow of Your hand." Those words helped inspire McGill's latest book, "In the Hollow of Your Hand: Slave Lullabies," a collection of 13 songs accompanied by a compact disc on which McGill sings. For McGill, a former Towson State University teacher, the songs are as much about African-American history as they are about family tradition.

Moments after Joe Biden is sworn in as vice president of the United States on the West Front of the Capitol and just before Barack Obama takes his oath as president, four classical musicians will perform a work created by John Williams for the history-rich inauguration. One of those players is Anthony McGill, principal clarinetist of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra and a newcomer to the Peabody Conservatory faculty. When he got the word last month that he would be participating in what might be considered the mother of all gigs, McGill's initial reaction was: "Wow, this is absolutely unbelievable.

North Carolina's surprising 7-5 victory over Virginia on Saturday represented such a stunning turnaround from its previous game, even Tar Heels coach John Bunting had to pinch himself when he woke up Sunday morning. "To be honest with you, I had to check to see that we still won that ballgame," Bunting said. "That was a long, hard-fought game for me, the staff and the players." The win marked the first time North Carolina had held an opponent without a touchdown since 2001, a stat that is even more impressive when you consider that the Tar Heels' defense gave up the most points in school history two weeks prior in a 69-14 loss to Louisville.

It sounded like a recession success story -- less than a year after construction was completed, amid central Maryland's worst economic climate in a decade, the Roberts Field Shopping Center along Route 30 here was more than 75 percent leased.The 81,000-square-foot center, completed in April and owned by Columbia-based McGill Development Ltd., cost more than $8 million to build.But despite having a major grocery, national hardware, video retailer, liquor store, pizza shop and six other enterprises under its farmhouse-inspired roof, Roberts Field's developers in July filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
