Wonderful teachers and staffs. Everyone is so helpful. The principal has great leadership skill. I am very happy that my boys are at St. Peter's .
Great School!! We have been at Saint Peter's for three years now (Pre-K4 to 1st. grade), and couldn't be happier. My daugther is happy each day to go to school and come home and share their experiences. The staff is great, the academics are very good and the families are wonderful. Highly recommend!!!
My daughter entered 3rd grade and is new to the school . I am very impressed with the academic curriculum. The teachers and staff are extremely helpful and professional. While I had many other schools to pick, I am very happy with my decision at St. Peter's. My daughter's enthusiasm every morning to go to school is a validation that I made the right choice.
Excellent academic curriculum. The faculty & staff teach and encourage good manners, right conduct and the right moral values that is sorely lacking today. Great sense of community and parent involvement in the school. We have been in this school for 9 years, sending them here was one of the best decisions we ever made!
We have been at this school for 6 years and we love it! The staff is great, the academics are very good, and the families are wonderful. Highly recommend!
We have been at Saint Peters for 3 years now, and couldn't be happier. Excellent leadership, phenomenal teachers, and a perfect environment for the children to learn and excel.
My children have been at St. Peter's for three years now from preschool to Kindergarten and each year has been fantastic. From the passionate teachers, advanced curriculum, school-wide events, to parent involvement opportunities - I feel blessed that we are part of this educational community. My children are happy each day to go to school and to come home and share their experiences. I have also truly enjoyed the parenting connections I have made as this has been another source of communication that continues to foster my decision to be at St. Peter's.
Solid academic program, strong Catholic values, great leadership, wonderful & caring teachers - that is what makes this a terrific Catholic school. My children have been here since kindergarten, and they truly prepare the children for the challenges of the world. We most truly appreciate the hand written notes and pictures that our principal, Mrs. Whelan send to each family one or twice a year updating us on how the kids are doing in school. The support from the faculty, the priests, the parish, office staff and grounds crew is tremendous - you know your child is in a safe environment at all times. Special mention to Mrs. Proday - who runs a tight ship but is well-loved & respected by all. Truly a Blue Ribbon school!
Wonderful caring teachers and staff. Solid academic program with exposure to art, music, and technology.
This is our 9th year at St. Peter's. My daughter will be graduating and my son is in 5th grade. They have both been at St. Peter's since kindergarten. This is a Christ centered school. They are taught values and what it means to walk in our Roman Catholic faith. The principal is outstanding; and the staff and teachers are brilliant, caring and very talented. There is an enormous amount of parent involvement. There is a strong sense of community here. When the children graduate, they are completely prepared for the next phase of their education. They truly deserved the Blue Ribbon School of Excellence award. My children and I love this school and are very blessed and very grateful to be part of its community.
I am an 8th grade student at St. Peter's and I love my school so much!
Great School!!! It is our first year and our child couldn't be happier, he feels so welcome that it looks like he's been there always.
Fantastic school. Solid academics, caring teachers, outstanding and visionary principal, many enrichment programs, and a fun and engaging environment. My children's national test scores are very strong and they are reminded always to be polite, mindful, and caring citizens. Wonderful place. Well-deserved blue ribbon award from U.S. Dept. of Education!
St. Peter s is a fabulous school. Our children have been there for 9 years (K thru 8). There are multiple reasons for this high praise. 1. The Principal, Mrs. Whelan. Like all well-run organizations the tone gets set from the top. She runs an efficient, forward-looking team that is not content with the status-quo and yet she always has time for every student and every parent. 2. The teachers. First and foremost they are qualified, but as important they care deeply about their students and create a nurturing environment for learning. 3. The families. The parents care about their children, they are engaged, and they volunteer at the school all the time; these family values are in turn reflected in the types of students at the school. Is St. Peter s perfect? No. But nothing is perfect and when our children graduate this year it will be very hard to say good-bye. Even though we are in Montgomery County, and there are excellent public schools, we could not have made a better choice in selecting a school that provides challenging academics in a nurturing environment where children are happy and are taught to emulate Christ.
St Peters is a school led by a fabulous principal who has a lot of positive energy and interaction with the children.
I am the parent of 4 children who all attend St. Peter's School currently. We could not be happier with our choice to send them there. The teachers are fantastic, and the principal is superb. They are approachable, enthusiastic and supportive. But the added benefit of this talented school is that my kids are soooooo comfortable in their environment. They would spend all of their free time with their St. Peter's friends too if they could. The families we've become involved with are wonderful friends of ours now and support when we need it!
All four of my boys attend St. Peter's School. As a former MCPS teacher in the Olney area I struggled with the decision of sending my children to parochial school- are the academics going to be challenging enough, are the teachers certified and knowledgeable in their field, is there enough diversity, will the principal be the be a strong leader? The answers to my questions were answered; not only is the curriculum rigorous, the teachers knowledgeable, the students come from a wide variety of backgrounds and the principal an amazing professional and leader but, my children get to experience all of this in a safe, close knit and Christian environment. I am active in school involvement and I'm not alone; St. Peter 's has many parent volunteers that make help make St. Peter's a great place. One of the best things about St. Peter's is that each year the principal, teachers, students and parents work together to make it an even better school. Congratulations to St. Peter's School on being named a 2012 National Blue Ribbon School of Excellence!
Excellent teachers, true Catholic environment, academically challenging. Our principal is wonderful leader who expects a high level of personal and academic excellence.
Where do I start!!!! We have the best kept secret in all of Montgomery County.. From the top, Mrs. Whelan (best principal in the state), to all of her staff and teachers, we have the brightest and most caring group of professionals that really CARE and will go the extra mile for their students as if they were their own. I have 3 children currently attending St. Peter's and a graduate at GC and all were extremely prepared for the next grade and above. My high schooler is in all honors, AP and IB classes and doing extremely well because of St. Peters strong academic standards. The Blue Ribbon Award just supports our GOLD experience.. Thank you St. Peter's School for everything that you have done for my children!!! ..
We have 3 kids at Saint Peters, preK3 thru 8th grade and we're thrilled! We've just relocated to the area from NC and reviewed various possible options before selecting SP. Beyond the obvious indicators (Blue Ribbon Winner, robust curriculum, terrific MD certified teaching staff, amazing commitment from Pastor / Parish), there's a "personal touch" that we've not yet experience. The first week of school, the Principal made personal phones to each preK parent to let you know how your child is doing. This week, we received a handwritten personal note from the Principal with a picture of my preK son updating me on how he's integrating into the classroom. Each morning, we're greated by friendly student embassador's helping my young kids out of the car, and each afternoon the teachers are outside to share with parents how the day went. The teacher send personal emails and notes, and the staff greet kids and parents with supportive smiles. Saint Peter's has exceeded our expectations. Thank you.

To determine the prevalence of major depression in cancer patients and
assess the usefulness of the dexamethasone suppression test (DST) and the
thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) stimulation test for diagnosing major
depression in these patients, the authors studied 83 women hospitalized for
gynecological cancer. Nineteen (23%) had major depression according to
DSM-III criteria. The sensitivity and specificity of the DST were 40% and
88%, respectively. No relationship between DST and TRH test results was
found. These findings indicate a high prevalence of depression in cancer
patients, but further research on these tests in cancer patients is needed;
their routine use with cancer patients is premature at this time.

The Proving Ground is a collaborative effort between the GOES-R Program Office, NOAA Cooperative Institutes, a NASA center, NWS Weather Forecast Offices, NCEP National Centers, and NOAA Test Beds across the country. The Proving Ground is a project in which simulated GOES-R products can be tested and evaluated before the GOES-R satellite is launched into space. The simulated GOES-R products are generated using combinations of currently available GOES data, along with higher resolution data provided by instruments on polar-orbiting satellites such as MODIS on NASA's Aqua and Terra satellites as well as model synthetic satellite data.
The Proving Ground was established to realize the benefits of the GOES-R system as soon as the satellites are launched and operational. GOES-R will mark the first major technological advances in geostationary observations since 1994. The advances include improvements upon existing data such as increased spatial, temporal, and spectral resolutions for Earth monitoring and improved space weather observations and initiation of new operational observations such as lightning mapping.
Many of the GOES-R products will be aimed at monitoring severe weather and helping forecasters issue earlier, more accurate severe weather warnings. In order to create the most useful severe weather tools possible, the GOES-R Proving Ground is working closely with the Experimental Forecast Program and the Experimental Warning Program of the NOAA Hazardous Weather Test Bed, developing and utilizing experimental GOES-R products to determine their utility in monitoring and forecasting severe convective weather.
Proving Ground Mission Statement
The GOES-R Proving Ground program is being initiated to facilitate research-to-operations with the principal focus being on the forecaster/AWIPS-II environment; to prepare for the GOES-R information, to get real-world experience by leveraging existing resources, and to evaluate product tailoring. The GOES-R Proving Ground engages NWS, EPA, DoD, and other operational environments in pre-operational demonstrations of selected capabilities of next generation GOES with the objective to bridge the gap between research and operations by:

A two-alarm fire at the Valero plant has been knocked down, with no injuries reported.
According to a worker on the scene, there was a power outage around 3:00am. After the power came back online around 6:00am, a large crude unit heater exploded at around 7:15am. Plumes of smoke could be seen from miles away, and tremors from the explosion could be felt as far away as Memphis International Airport.
The fire was brought under control by 8:15am. A worker told FOX13 that the plant has very strict safety procedures, and the approximate 300 workers there at the time were all evacuted safely.
There was extensive damage to the facility, but all workers were accounted for and nobody was hurt.

Is First Solar a Good Investment?

First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR) stock has been bipolar. After being left for dead in 2012, First Solar's stock price has increased more than 200% from the June 2012 lows. The European budget crisis that led to decreased solar subsidies is now in the rear view mirror but the solar industry is still suffering from chronic oversupply.

3 Ways to Invest in Renewable Energy
By Phillip Woolgar - July 16, 2013 | Tickers: GPRE, SPWR, TAC
Renewable energy accounts for approximately 16% of total energy consumption. While most of that is provided through biomass and hydroelectricity, there are smaller segments of renewable energy -- such as wind, solar and ethanol. These smaller segments of green forms of energy present a considerable amount of opportunity for investors, who could potentially get in early on a power-producing segment that hasn't fully caught on.

The Bad News Is Good News

The stock market was buffeted on Friday by what looked like bad news.

The European Party Is Over
By Joshua Bondy - July 11, 2013 | Tickers: FSLR, SPWR, TSL, YGE
Forward thinking European nations like Germany and Spain have paved the way in developing solar power. The problem is that recessions and massive unemployment have a habit of stopping government subsidies. Investor confidence in the Spanish clean energy projects has been destroyed after the government announced it would retroactively cut subsidies. Germany recently stated it would pull the plug on its subsidies by 2018. Now, a number of solar manufacturers more »

Clear Channel yanked the ads from the air last month, claiming they violated "decency standards." Now, the media conglomerate is conceding that women's health care isn't actually "hateful or incendiary."
Dr. George Tiller was shot and killed by an anti-abortion activist in 2009, and his former clinic only recently re-opened to the public. But one abortion opponent suggests the clinic wants to incite even more gun violence -- to boost its fundraising.
Abortion opponents in Wichita are desperately trying to prevent Dr. George Tiller's former clinic from re-opening. Their new strategy is to claim that the clinic is too disruptive to the neighborhood -- because of their own protests against it.
Texas Republicans recently used extra lawmaking sessions to force through unpopular anti-abortion legislation that couldn't have passed otherwise. Now, abortion opponents in other states are hoping to do the same thing.

County restaurants are hoping residents and visitors alike will sink their teeth into the first-ever Carroll County Restaurant Week, scheduled for Aug. 21-28.
Promising a wide variety of menus and deals for lunches and dinners, the goal of the restaurant week is to draw local residents — and perhaps expand a few waistlines.
"The restaurant scene in Carroll County has really grown, and there are some great restaurants," said Ken Lurie, owner and chef of Bud's at Silver Run.
"This will open people's eyes to …the great variety of restaurants literally in their backyard," he said.
Twenty-six restaurants are participating in the event, which was organized by the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce and Office of Tourism.
Ranging from small cafes to fine dining establishments, the restaurants taking part will offer either lunch and dinner specials — or both — with all specials ranging in cost between $10.11 and $35.11.
"They were asked to come up with a menu that is attractive in what serving and price wise," said Peggy Soper, director of operation for the Chamber of Commerce. "The 11 cents represent the year."
For instance, a three-course meal featuring either sesame ginger salmon, rosemary chicken or grilled flat iron steak will be the choice items at Mount Airy Tavern in Mount Airy, according to James Dichiara, owner.
"We have a very nice restaurant. Nobody out here has food like we have," Dichiara said."We want the exposure in Mount Airy and are hoping to attract a little from Frederick, Howard an Montgomery [counties]."
At Birdie's Café in Westminster, owner Sherri Hosfeld Joseph will offer combinations of salads and drinks, or sandwiches and drink, at reduced prices.
"My hope for this is to introduce more people to my business," said Hosfeld Joseph. "It will make a time that is usually a slow time for restaurants a little busier."
Lurie, who helped with the planning of the event, thinks the timing is "great."
"People are getting back from vacation. It's the end of summer and the start of school," he said. "The timing is a kickoff back into fall. Fall business is always stronger."
Already, Lurie has received reservations for the week.
Joanne Crone, manager of the Carroll County Tourism office, is pleased with the response from both restaurants and the community.
"We're hearing a lot of good things," Crone said. "We're very pleased. I hope the restaurant get a boost out of it."
Stan Ruchlewicz, the City's of Westminster's economic development administrator, said Restaurant Week, "should definitely help the participating Westminster restaurants from both an awareness and monetary perspective.
" 'Eating local' is the rage," said Ruchlewicz. "I believe the eight participating downtown (Westminster) eateries are some of the finest local restaurants in the state, if not the mid-Atlantic region, for the quality of their products."
Ruchlewicz said he thought the week might give restaurants in Westminster a needed boost after they experienced the loss of a customary summertime rush — the Baltimore Raven training camp at McDaniel College. This year's edition was canceled because of the NFL lockout.
"Hopefully, the event will even help offset a bit of the lost revenue resulting from no Ravens training camp this year," he said.

A classic Bordeaux Supérieur' produced from mature rootstock grown on well-drained gravelly soil similar to that of Pomerol 6km to the South-West.
Lalande de Pomerol 'La Chenade' from Denis Durantou - Great value, right-bank claret with a bit of bottle-age from the 2009 vintage.
Crimson colour, wild berries and raisins on the nose, cedar, cassis, graphite and fleshy fruit on the palate.
'Les Cent Boisselées' is a mid-weight, forward and fruity Bourgueil wine from 100% Cabernet Franc.
With juicy cassis flavours and pleasant blackberry leaf and mushroom aromas, its structured tannins will support some bottle age.
Ruby red with a brick pink rim. Aromas and flavours of cut-pepper, blackberries and mushrooms are supported by ripe tannins preceding a complex, mouth filling finish.
A juicy red Chinon with supple, cherry flavours that is an ideal partner for grilled meat.
Chinon l'Arpenty from Francis Desbourdes is packed full of youthful, berry fruit and was memorably described by Joanna Simon as being like liquid summer pudding.
It has supple tannins that lend it well to light chilling. In short it is a delicious and failsafe crowd-pleaser.
A quaffable blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot from Gascony that really comes into its own with poultry dishes or summer barbecues. Duck à l'Orange would be ideal!
A dense, dark, complex, age-worthy, antediluvian offering - a bouquet of leather, herbs and dried porcini
mushrooms preceding a dense palate of red fruits, spices and minerals supported by rugged tannins.
Irouléguy: Domaine Illaria - A deep red wine with a bouquet of black cherries and spices with vigorous youthful tannins (reminiscent of young Cornas) and underlying dark fruit flavours.
Dense, dark and with great aromatic complexity, plus lashings of supple, ripe, sweet fruit.
Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil: 'L'Expression' is a forward-drinking, capsicum-scented Cabernet Franc that has a lovely concentration of fruit and a really persistent finish.
The Saumur Champigny: Domaine Filliatreau is a classic, cool-climate Cabernet Franc with a lovely, summer-berry bouquet and a juicy, red fruit palate offset by ripe, youthful tannins.
A mid-weight, ripe, rounded Cabernet Franc. A wonderful concentration of brambly fruit is underpinned by supple tannins.
A rich and powerful wine displaying herbaceous aromas. The palate, of ripe red berries and cut pepper and well developed, rounded tannins, precedes a long, clean finish.
Big, bountiful, gastronomic Cabernet Franc - a rich and powerful wine displaying herbaceous aromas. The palate, of ripe red berries and 'cut pepper' and well developed, rounded tannins, precedes a long, clean finish.
Our consistently reliable red Saumur, with its distinctive label that depicts graffito of Charles de Gaulle, makes for remarkably versatile easy drinking.
Fred Filliatreau's red Saumur Château Fouquet that comes from vines just outside the Saumur Champigny appellation seems to be getting better with every vintage that we ship. It is a ripe rounded Cabernet Franc with some light minerally nuances that should be drunk within a couple of years, preferably al fresco with a plate of cheese or charcuterie!
Cabernet d'Anjou from Château La Tomaze - salmon-pink in colour, with fresh, inviting, crushed-raspberry aromas, the merest hint of pepper, and a juicy palate for carefree summer drinking.
Côtes de Gascogne: Domaine Millet Rosé is a refreshing, dry rosé wine with a lovely coral pink colour, crushed berry scents and flavours and a bright, fruity palate.
The Thongue red is a Yapp bestseller, so we were delighted so discover that their coral-pink rosé in the 2013 vintage ticks all the required boxes zesty, dry, refreshing and great value.
Crémant de Loire Mousseux Brut - a rosé wine with an appealing coral pink colour, this delicate fizz displays rosehip and redcurrant flavours and a soft, seductive effervescence.

By Jessica Dye and Ben Klayman
(Reuters) - The National Highway Safety Traffic Administration said on Friday it was reviewing reports that exhaust gases, including carbon monoxide, may enter the passenger compartment of some Ford Explorers, a potential safety issue that has prompted customer complaints and a recent lawsuit.
The agency said it was aware of complaints involving Ford Motor Co's
In a lawsuit filed June 9 in Florida federal court, Angela Knutson, the owner of a 2013 Ford Explorer, said that a defect in hundreds of thousands of Explorers could cause "lethal quantities of carbon monoxide" to enter passenger cabins while the vehicle was being driven, putting occupants at risk.
Knutson filed the lawsuit on behalf of a proposed class of owners of Explorers from model years 2011 through 2013.
In December 2012, the lawsuit said, Ford issued a technical service bulletin to dealers acknowledging that some Explorers from model years 2011 to 2013 "may exhibit an exhaust odor in the vehicle with the auxiliary climate control system on."
Knutson said that Ford failed to warn customers or address the possibility that passengers may be exposed to deadly carbon monoxide, according to the lawsuit.
A spokeswoman for Ford said the company was reviewing the case and would act promptly to address any issues if needed.
Lawyers for Knutson did not immediately return requests for comment on Friday.

I've been back several times. Its a good place to meet up with a friend and have a bit of a bite and a tea from their wonderful tea selection. I'm giving a 9 for decor...but that is for the retail section. The tiny Cafe is comfortable but could have a bit more elegance (hey, this is TEA, guys). I highly recommend their retail teas, which they sell loosely by the ounce or in tins or bagged in tea sachets.

Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) is a disorder caused when a patient has a pulse rate that is too fast when the patient stands. Symptoms include headache, rapid heartbeat, lightheadedness with prolonged standing, chronic fatigue, chest pain, and other nonspecific complaints. Many diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and/or Fibromyalgia also suffer from this disorder.
Excerpt from:
10 Natural Remedies That Can Save Your Life
by James F. Balch (Doubleday, April 1999)
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), which is also sometimes referred to as Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS) or Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.), is a condition characterized by the primary symptom of a prolonged, persistent debilitating fatigue not relieved by rest and not directly caused by other conditions. In general, a diagnosis for CFS requires that the tiredness is severe enough for at least a 50% decrease in the patient's ability to participate in ordinary activities. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) describes CFS as a distinct disorder with specific symptoms and physical signs, based on the exclusion of other possible causes.
Note: I wrote an initial article about the Bounce Back Exercise Chair in 2005 while working as the about.com guide for the Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome site. Getting a chair for myself has been my goal since that time and I now finally have one! I've had mine for a week, and I can tell a difference already; it's especially helped lessen some of my lower back pain. … Now for the article:
Maintaining or improving one's physical fitness is difficult for a healthy person. It's even more so for those with Fibromyalgia, and especially so for those who are exercise intolerant because of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Although it doesn't promise an easy solution, the Bounce Back Fitness Chair does provide a safer fitness alternative. Because it combines the function of low-impact aerobics while the user is seated in a comfortable chair, anyone with balance or most other mobility problems can perform the exercise.
Meditation, in its simplest form, is simply a way of calming your inner mind and bringing it into balance with your body. This balance can let your body ease its way into providing you with relief from the pain associated with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, arthritis, and other disabling conditions.
In Dr. Lapp's words:
This Cochrane review study is a sore subject!
I obtained a copy of the entire review, and it is just horrible. The author examined 9 studies, accepted only 5, and none were from the USA. Here are some of the problems:
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), which is sometimes also referred to as Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome (CFIDS) or Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E. or ME), is an autoimmune illness characterized by prolonged, devastating fatigue. A new study may provide hope for those who suffer from this disabling condition. According to researcher M. Edmonds with the Cochrane Collaboration research group, patients who participated in a three-month program of exercise therapy that consisted of 30-minute exercise sessions several times a week had improvement in both their energy levels and their quality of life.
Addendum: Many patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome suffer from exercise intolerance. Therefore, be sure to see Dr. Lapp's response to this study.

By Cade Fowler - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – Our tax money has been paying for the Albany Civic Center for 30 years - but now - we own it outright.
The city wrote a check Monday for a little more than $1.3 million. It's the last payment on the arena.
The original bond was granted in 1981 for $16 million. It was re-financed three times.
City leaders say they're glad to have the building paid off.
"It's been approximately 30 years since the original financing was set up. The building opened in February of '83. It's good to have that debt off the city. We've been paying about $1.3 million per years since that original date and that's one bill that goes away," said Albany Assistant City Manager Wes Smith.
The city still underwrites operations at the Civic Center. Smith says the structure itself is still in good shape.
Next Monday, newly hired Civic Center director Timothy Mabe will begin his new job.

A Two-component Model of Texture for Analysis and Synthesis (1998)

title = {A Two-component Model of Texture for Analysis and Synthesis},
year = {1998}
A model of natural texture based on a structural component which uses affine coordinate transformations and a stochastic residual component is presented. It is argued that the selection of an appropriate analysis scale can be formulated in terms of a trade-off between the rate at which parameters are generated and the distortion resulting from the approximation by the structural component. An efficient algorithm for identifying the parameters of the structural model is described and its utility demonstrated on a number of synthetic and natural textures. 1 Introduction The analysis and synthesis of natural textures is one of the most intriguing and difficult problems in image processing, which has received much attention over the years [2, 20, 26, 21, 16, 10, 34, 35, 5, 4, 17]. Apart from their significance in applications ranging from remote sensing to computer graphics, the analysis and synthesis of texture have remained challenging problems because of the combination of stru...

Today's post is part of "Your Green Hour Survival Guide," a series which I hope will provide inspiration to make getting outside every day a habit.
A little more than a week ago, we passed the 30-day mark of our efforts to make time for a green hour every day. Our goal was to get outside at least 15 minutes a day; the reality so far is an average of some 55 minutes. Mission accomplished!
I'm still keeping a journal every day, which is helping me to see some patterns emerging – some of which I think are worth sharing. So here goes.
Getting out the door is usually the toughest part.
Toughest to contend with have been the bad moods (mine and the kids' both!) and bad weather (we missed two days due to rain and severe wind).
So what works in those moments when it feels like it'd just be easier to stay inside? I repeat the mantra "just 15 minutes outside, guys. Then we can come back inside and do whatever we want." Some days we really do go back inside after 15 minutes, but most days we stay outside longer.
Being prepared helps.
And not just with ideas for what to do (which you can find a ton of here). To prepare for your green hour:
- Build outdoor time into your schedule. Believe me, free time isn't just going to magically appear. The trick is to build 15 minutes of outdoor time into your existing schedule. (I promise a future post on this one!)
- Make cleanup a breeze. The explorers always get dirty when they're outside. I've learned to lay a towel down where the kids enter the house from the backyard – and I have a few more towels on hand for drying off.
Having two young kids of different ages outdoors at once isn't always easy.
My oldest is 6; the youngest is just shy of 3. Some days are easy enough, but others are quite challenging. One of the kids is grumpy, but the other isn't. Or one wants to do something the other has absolutely no interest in. Or worst of all – one is napping while the other is itchy to go exploring!
The big payoff here is seeing the kids come together – and they do so far more outside than in. Sure, they still yell and scream a lot at each other, but there are a lot more laughs through the dirt, water, mud and sunshine than anywhere else.
Let the kids lead.
This has far and away been the toughest challenge for me to overcome. Once we're actually outside, I'm anxious for the explorers to be connecting with nature, not shooting hoops or bashing each other in their annoying plastic fire trucks.
But here's the thing: They need time to unwind. To do whatever they want with no restrictions or limits from me.
I've noticed that somewhere between 15 and 30 minutes after heading outside, the kids inevitably take to exploring something more natural, and are often engaged for quite a while after that. The ideas they come up with remind me of what it means to be a kid – to explore without inhibitions and to let fun trump good sense some times.
Which leaves me the chance to either join the fun or sit back and watch it in awe.
I want to hear from you! What's your greatest challenge to getting outside 15 minutes a day – and how do you overcome it?

How To Treat Hallux Rigidus In Runners
- Volume 22 - Issue 4 - April 2009
- 83467 reads
- 0 comments
The selection of footwear that has maximal stiffness across the forefoot will decrease the dorsiflexion moment directed across the MPJs during running gait. Most running shoes have some degree of flexibility across the forefoot. Therefore, I often direct runners with stage II and greater hallux rigidus to switch to lightweight day hikers and switch from asphalt to dirt trails for long distance running. Yes, these shoes may be too stiff for the average runner but they can facilitate profound relief of jamming of the great toe joint.
What About Medication Or Physical Therapy?
I do not advocate the use of injectable corticosteroids for athletes with hallux rigidus unless there may be some benefit for short-term relief of symptoms. For the most part, the relief is so temporary that this type of treatment is disappointing. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories can relieve pain but do not reverse the pathology of hallux rigidus. Pain relief with medication may only mask the degenerative process and could lead to rapid deterioration of the great toe joint in running athletes.
Physical therapy offers a reasonable level of hope to the athlete with hallux rigidus who wants to avoid surgery. Just as we have learned with cartilage injuries to the knee, aggressive rehabilitation protocols using muscle reeducation, joint mobilization and flexibility exercises can stabilize a joint and minimize symptoms of degenerative arthritis. Strengthening of the flexor hallucis longus muscle as well as the plantar intrinsic muscles of the feet can improve stability of the first MPJ. A skilled therapist can also mobilize this joint to increase range of motion. All of these measures can be of value to the patient even if he or she ultimately undergoes surgery.
A Closer Look At Surgical Considerations For The Athlete
Surgery designed to relieve the symptoms of hallux rigidus can have one or more intended methods and outcomes. Surgeons may restore articular cartilage via stimulation of local chondrogenic source, transplant autograft tissue. One may perform decompression or realignment of the first MPJ via osteotomy of the first metatarsal or proximal phalanx. Alternately, surgeons may resect the joint surface(s) via arthroplasty with soft tissue interposition or a prosthetic implant, or perform arthrodesis of the first MPJ.
There has been a variety of papers over the last 40 years that have documented positive and negative outcomes of surgical procedures for the treatment of hallux rigidus. Few have focused on the long-term effects of any surgical treatment for running athletes. The majority of patients included in large group studies receiving surgery for hallux rigidus are over the age of 50, overweight and have a sedentary lifestyle. The positive outcome of many surgical procedures performed on these types of patients could not be expected in an athletic patient population.
Why Intraoperative Inspection And Debridement Are Important
With any surgical intervention for hallux rigidus, surgeons should perform an intraoperative inspection and debridement before making any decision about osteotomy, fusion, etc.
Many times, a patient showing significant symptoms of hallux rigidus with minimal radiographic evidence of degenerative joint disease will demonstrate unexpected cartilage loss when one surgically explores the joint. At other times, a rigid joint will suddenly demonstrate over 50 degrees dorsiflexion after simple resection of the osteophytes and freeing of the sesamoid apparatus adhering to the plantar surface of the first metatarsal.
One should perform subchondral drilling on all cartilage defects whether the surgeon opts for osteotomy or a simple cheilectomy. Newer techniques of autograft implantation of osteochondral material obtained from the talus offer promise for the treatment of early stage hallux rigidus. However, no studies have been published showing outcomes with running athletes.

Atlanta gets a representative during the ninth season on "Project Runway": Rafael Cox, 27.
Past notable contestants include season three finalist Mychael Knight and the always entertaining Anthony Williams from season seven.
There's a twist this year. The show starts with 20 people but gets quickly cut to a more typical 16 after each person makes a presentation before the judges, including Tim Gunn, Nina Garcia, Michael Kors and Heidi Klum.
During Cox's intro during the 20, we don't hear any comments from the judges but they seem impressed. "Nina and I are clearly talking sex with our eyes," he said as an aside on the show.
Without spoiling too much, it's fair to say Cox makes it through and is part of the cast of 16. How does he do during the first challenge? Well, let's just say Kors references the Flintstones during his critique of Cox's first outfit. You'll know Thursday whether that's a good thing – or not.
Cox, in an interview, said he grew up in Decatur, graduated from Southwest DeKalb High School and was a 2006 graduate of American Intercontinental University with a fashion design/marketing degree. He's been able to get dresses into local boutiques including La Bella Vie, Rose Couture and House of Adrene.
His point of view? "I pretty much love angular artistic and really structural pieces. I love making shapes. I love having angular, really detailed looking stuff on a model's body. And I cater to all sizes."
[UPDATE JULY 29, 2011 AND SPOILER IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE OPENER YET: There's a reason why I didn't spend much time talking about Rafael. He was the first one out among the top 16. His outfit was eviscerated by eveyrone, save for Christine Ricci, who liked aspects of his blouse. But it wasn't enough. He admitted to me he had issues creating magic in the time frame and that was obvious in this challenge. The program drew 2.7 million viewers, up 8% from a year ago and typical for the show.]
The most memorable contestants on the show after screening the first episode include one of the oldest designers ever on the show at age 57. And there's a 29-year-old woman from Trinidad and Tobago who shows up with only four months of sewing experience.

@ Southern by birth: So unnessary. Worry about your own life and lifestyle. I'm sure you do things that someone else would label "sick". Don't be so judgemental. Not attractive.
Only 2 more days to go! I cannot wait! I love this show! Sometimes I don't agree on who should go home, but I love watching the contestants create new looks.

Don't be surprised we are not a bad lot, while we may like to drive trucks and shoot our guns we also buy our clothes at Brooks Brothers, Ralph Lauren and Orvis. After a day at the range we love to stop by the Buckhead Dinner for a nice lunch. You might even catch us at the fragrance counter at Neiman's but don't tell anybody.

Tonight's the night! Just hope Heidi will be able to stand up to Michael Kors this season. They way he forced a win last season for the wretched Gretchen made me decide never to even look at a product designed MK. Unfortunate, since Ilike many of his designs.

- Is BEST really better? : Internalization of orders in an open limit order book (2011)
- This paper studies the market quality of an internalization system which is designed as part of an open limit order book (the Xetra system operated by Deutsche Börse AG). The internalization sys-tem (Xetra BEST) guarantees a price improvement over the inside spread in the Xetra order book. We develop a structural model of this unique dual market environment and show that, while adverse selection costs of internalized trades are significantly lower than those of regular order book trades, the realized spreads (the revenue earned by the suppliers of liquidity) is significantly larger. The cost savings of the internalizer are larger than the mandatory price improvement. This suggests that internalization can be profitable both for the customer and the internalizer. JEL Classification: G10 Keywords: Internalization , Execution Quality , Adverse Selection Costs
- Labour supply under demand side constraints in the USA and the FRG : a comparative analysis using PSID and GSOEP data (1999)
- This paper provides an empirical assessment of hypotheses that identify causes of demand side constraints of individual labour supply. In a comparative study for the USA and the FRG we focus on analysing the effect of productivity gaps (industry wage growth beyond productivity growth), industry investment intensity and regional labour market conditions on individual employment probabilities. Furthermore, we investigate whether demand side constraints of labour supply can be caused by a spill over from commodity markets. Efficiency wage theory and the theory of inter-industry wage differentials are utilised to derive identifying restrictions that are applicable to the labour supply models for both countries. The econometric contribution of the paper is the derivation and application of a two step estimation method for the class of simultaneous random effects double hurdle models, of which the labour supply model employed in this paper is a special case. To provide the empirical basis for the comparative study, the Panel Study of Income Dynamics and the German Socio-Economic Panel are linked to the OECD's International Sectoral Database. JEL classification: C33, C34, J64, O57
- Modelling consumer behaviour in a profile design using a three equation generalised Tobit model (1997)
- We propose the application of a three equation generalised Tobit to model different aspects of consumer behaviour in a full profile study design. The model takes into account that consumer behaviour can be measured by preference scores, purchase probability and purchase volume. We aim to avoid the drawbacks of traditional conjoint analysis where the latter two aspects are disregarded. Starting from a full profile design, we develop the appropriate questionnaire layout, the econometric model, the likelihood function and tests. The model is applied in a market entry study for an innovative medicament after a reform of Germany´s public health system in 1993-1994. JEL Classification: C35,M31,L65
- Internationally cross-listed stock prices during overlapping trading hours : price discovery and exchange rate effects (2001)
- We analyze exchange rates along with equity quotes for 3 German firms from New York (NYSE) and Frankfurt (XETRA) during overlapping trading hours to see where price discovery occurs and how stock prices adjust to an exchange rate shock. Findings include: (a) the exchange rate is exogenous with respect to the stock prices; (b) exchange rate innovations are more important in understanding the evolution of NYSE prices than XETRA prices; and (c) most (but not all) of the fundamental or random walk component of firm value is determined in Frankfurt.
- Ökonometrische Modellierung von Transaktionsintensitäten auf Finanzmärkten : eine Anwendung von Autoregressive-conditional-duration-Modellen auf die IPO der Deutschen Telekom (1998)

I have been looking for this ink all over! The place we bought our printer from for some reason doesn't sell this specific one. I never thought to check Staples because they don't carry our large format printer, but here it is! And for less money than the other places! I'm so happy.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Series: Excerpts from "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution" (13 entries)
We need to hear stories from others who have wrestled with evolution and Christian faith. What arguments made them change their views on science? How did they hold fast to their relationship with God? The essays in this series will eventually comprise a book, provisionally titled, "Evolving: Evangelicals Reflect on Evolution."
Reflections on the "Non-Negotiable" God of the Road to Damascus
There was nothing about my experiences on Oct. 20 or the God I'd met that day that intimated to me that he harbored a particular abhorrence for evolution or any scientific theory. I wonder how often we do stuff like that: add things to our list of divine "non-negotiables" that really reflect nothing of the God we experienced when he first welcomed us into his family as a free gift of grace.
How To Talk to Family About Evolution
…because accepting evolutionary theory for the first time does require us to reconsider and reframe other aspects of our cultural and spiritual beliefs, we must be more caring about the way we interact with those who remain in disagreement with us.
Ian G. Barbour, 1923 – 2013
Ian Barbour died on Christmas Eve at the age of 90. He is credited by many to be the father of the contemporary academic discipline of science and religion.
Series: Evolution and Faith: My Journey Thus Far (2 entries)
As Christians we believe by faith that Christ was both human and divine, and although this paradox can be difficult to comprehend, it is not a stumbling block to our faith nor does it hinder us from having a relationship with him. Similarly, the Bible is both human and divine.
Series: The Faith of a Great Scientist: Robert Boyle's Religious Life, Attitudes, and Vocation (13 entries)
A deep love for scripture, coupled (ironically) with a lifelong struggle with religious doubt, led Robert Boyle to write several important books relating scientific and religious knowledge. We explore aspects of this fascinating interaction.
God's Extravagant Love in Creation
Critics of Christianity look to evolution to show how the emergence of human life on earth demanded enormous ruin and ravage, billions of years of apparent waste and futility, species extermination and organism road kill. Not only was the massive dying off rampant, it's mandatory too.
Stochastic Grace
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
Hydrology of the Bow River
There's a word beneath the water, and the Bow River belongs to God. Have you been listening?
Series: Searching for Motivated Belief (12 entries)
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
Series: A Faith Journey in a Medical Science Career (4 entries)
(Needs a summary)
Dissonance and Harmony
People hold clearly discordant points of view, and it would be dishonest to ignore the conflict. Yet some voices emphasize the dissonance without any note of harmony to put it in context. Too often, science and faith becomes a hostile battle of worldviews, sounding angry, dissonant chords even among fellow Christians. But civil, gracious dialogue is possible.
Series: Science and the Bible (22 entries)
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
Series: Surprised by Jack: C.S. Lewis on Mere Christianity, the Bible, and Evolutionary Science (4 entries)
In this five-part series, David Williams responds to the book The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society by John West and the Discovery Institute, showing that C.S. Lewis was a very complicated thinker whose views are hard to line up exactly with any camp in the current debates over the compatibility of Christian faith and evolutionary science.
Surveying George Murphy's Theology of the Cross
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
Series: Confronting Our Fears (6 entries)
In this series, U.S. Navy Commander Mike Beidler shares his own personal journey from accepting young-earth creationism to embracing evolutionary creationism.
Series: Behe, Lenski and the "Edge" of Evolution (5 entries)
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
Growing in Faith
As he endeavored to learn more, David was intrigued by Francis Collins book The Language of God because Francis did not present evolution as a rival theory to Christian faith, but as something that described God's method of creation.
Willing to be Wrong
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.

Completely enjoyed this recipe - easy to make and wonderful to eat! We served it over rice and it was fantastic! Paired ninely with a Beaujolais Nouveau.
mschmidt Posted: 12/02/12
Great! Served it with couscous. A side of sauteed mushrooms added some earthiness.
adkimmerly Posted: 12/03/12
Seriously delicious. Followed the recipe pretty closely except for a light sprinkling of a Kansas City BBQ rub and a salt-free herb mix on the pork before browning. The fresh thyme is fantastic in this recipe, I definitely don't think dried would add as much flavor. I also skimmed nearly all of the fat off of the juices before making the gravy as well, and it turned out perfect. Paired with a nice pinot noir – mmm!
jstwil Posted: 01/03/13
Relatively easy and quite tasty. Served with roasted brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes. The gravy was outstanding and made the dish.
Onecentinvegas Posted: 01/20/14
This is knock-your-socks-off delicious! I didn't have Calvados, so I substituted regular brandy with a couple of tablespoons of frozen apple juice concentrate, but otherwise, followed the recipe. Husband started raving after the first bite. Made it in the oven since I had the day off. Served with mashed potatoes and steamed sugar snap peas. I can't overstate how delicious this is! Husband says I shouldn't wait 6 months to make this again, so I'll make it again soon.

Academic Internship
At the His Mansion Institute (HMI), the training/equipping branch of His Mansion Ministries, we are committed to seeing students who love Jesus experience what it means to bring hope and help to men and women who desperately need it. Classrooms only go so far. Here at His Mansion, we want to draw students out of the classroom and into the trenches, helping them to experientially learn what care and ministry looks like on the ground.Students who have a heart for hurting people and want to witness the transforming power of the gospel in real life will find what they are looking for at His Mansion. We are looking for motivated and passionate students interested in gaining practical ministry experience alongside their academic studies. This internship will serve as a powerful way to field test classroom concepts in real life. It is for students who are humble, eager to learn, willing to serve, and have a heart of compassion for hurting men and women. Students will be able to enter into the healing process by loving the men and women we serve and leading them to the Savior, the Great Physician, the One from whom all healing comes, Jesus Christ. The internship experience is for students studying a broad range of disciplines, such as psychology, counseling, or pastoral ministry. However, it is not in any way limited to students studying these types of disciplines, but is for any student who is ready and willing to serve broken people who need Jesus as a broken person who needs Him too.
We have two different tracks, varying in duration, when it comes to our internship opportunities:
Summer Internship Track (8 weeks)
- Critical Dates – 2014:
Early Application Deadline – February 1st
Late Application Deadline – March 22nd
Practicum Start Date – June 5th
Practicum End Date – August 1st
Semester Internship Track (16 weeks)
Both of these tracks offer much of the same opportunity, however, more time means more opportunity for learning, growth, and challenge.
Almost all students can receive academic internship credit for a summer or semester internship at His Mansion. If you are interested in receiving credit, please email Michael Tso, M.D. (email@example.com) with any questions that you or your academic advisor might have in regards to fulfilling your school's academic requirements.
Please read through our website to learn more about our people and programs. If you have any questions or want to set up an interview, please email our HMI Program Supervisor, David McHale (firstname.lastname@example.com). Many of your questions will be answered in the Frequently Asked Questions document below.
